Pastries, light fare, and coffee drinks in a whimsical French-inspired setting
"I saw that Amelie’s French Bakery and Cafe closed after seven years on the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive during the recent string of pandemic-driven permanent closures." - Beth McKibben
"A bakery and cafe that had operated for seven years on the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive, Amelie's French Bakery and Cafe closed last week." - Beth McKibben
"Drop in for a hot cup of coffee or a bite to eat at this whimsical space (counter service makes it snappy). Named for the 2001 romantic comedy Amélie, this bakery is one of the most interesting coffee shops in town thanks to its clutter of mismatched tables, overstuffed chairs and that huge, faux tree hanging from the ceiling in the corner. Light meals include salads, sandwiches and soups (the signature soup with spinach, asparagus and leek is heaven), and a must-have pastry item is one of those cute macarons in the bakery case." - Katie Toussaint
"The original location in the NoDa arts district is open 24 hours, but really all five Charlotte-area iterations of Amélie’s are cheerfully cluttered with the same kind of quirky decor — imagine faux trees dangling from the ceiling, mismatched tables and overstuffed chairs, striped wallpaper, odd framed photos, candelabras and beyond. The bakery offerings can’t be ignored — from the eclairs to the fruit tarts — and the coffee menu written in French spills over with everything from frothy cappuccinos to drip coffees. Don’t overlook heartier options like salads, soups and sandwiches either." - Katie Toussaint
"This French-inspired bakery and sandwich shop on the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive is a popular spot for Georgia Tech students as well as the community’s freelancers. Amelie’s comfortable atmosphere and shabby chic decor coupled with its cafe food offerings have made it a neighborhood favorite." - Beth McKibben
