The desserts are to die for, and the 24 hour thing is a big plus. Amelies is always on my schedule when I visit the NoDa area. French press coffee: 10-10, Salted Caramel Brownies: 10-10, $1 Baguettes with cheese spread: 100-10 (that extra zero is not a typo...best cheap meal in town). The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes there is no seating available and it is so packed it takes 30 minutes to get to the front of the line and get your food.....but I guess awesome places like Amelies can't avoid the crowds because the place is just so dang good! If you're visiting Charlotte, don't skip over this place as it is a must-see. Amelies also designed and baked all the pastries in the Hunger Games movie, which I thought was a fun fact. Also worth noting: This place is great for a first date since it's pretty casual. Check it out!
