Patisserie/Cake Shops in Charlotte, NC

“Hidden gem that I selfishly hope doesn’t get too popular. They have an extensive menu and you can buy desserts, bottles of wine and other beverages. The spicy turkey sandwich is amazing so is the caprese and tomatoes soup. Coffee is good and it’s a decent amount of seating. Parking is as terrible as you might expect for Southend. I visit at least once -love it here.“

“Me and my boyfriend love coming here - the wait time is usually long though especially if it’s busy. But it’s worth the wait and they are loving efficiently- it’s a small business on a busy street. I always get the plain churro and my boyfriend gets the relleno (stuffed ) one with condensed milk and a side of their vanilla ice cream! So good“

“I tried the smoked salmon croissant, and it was wonderful. The venue itself was nice; however—since it is a bit small—there was a sign asking customers not to occupy the tables for longer than an hour, which I found a bit off-putting. Aside from that, everyone was friendly, and ordering was easy.“

“Excellent service and pastries“

“This place is pretty good. The interior decor and atmosphere are fun and unusual. The drinks were fair. Pastry a little tougher than anticipated.
Service runs slow as they need to figure out their system. First you get the pastries, then at the end of the line you order drinks, which is what takes the longest and should instead be first. Fix this.
Worth dropping in for some treats though not the best you’ll have in town.“

“My favorite coffee shop in town!! The matcha latte is the best I’ve ever had. Add some of their house made syrup for flavor or sweetness. My fav syrup is the blueberry. The maple sea salt is also great. My husband says the iced coffee is fantastic. And he’s quite the coffee snob! The vibes are always excellent at any summit location & the baristas are super friendly. They turned me on to matcha is the first place! Highly recommend!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this Amélie’s Café—it’s much more spacious than other locations I’ve been to, which made it feel airy and inviting. The space stays true to their French eclectic aesthetic, filled with whimsical, vintage-inspired artwork that adds a quirky charm.\n\nThe staff at the pastry counter were friendly and helpful, which made browsing their baked goods a treat. Unfortunately, the experience at the coffee station was less warm—the woman working there wasn’t as welcoming, which was a slight disappointment.\n\nWe ordered a tiramisu latte, which was just okay—not bad, but not especially memorable. We also tried a half-dozen macarons, and those were hit or miss depending on the flavor. Favorites were the raspberry, café au lait, and birthday cake, while the lavender lemon, blueberry cheesecake, and lemon tasted a bit too artificial and overly sweet.\n\nOne thing I did notice was that the tables weren't wiped down well, it was still kind of sticky, even though the café wasn’t busy at the time. That said, the overall vibe was cozy and relaxed—a lovely place to enjoy a drink and pastries while catching up with friends.“
