Renaissance Pâtisserie is a specialty bakery known for its customized cakes for all occasions, along with an assortment of cookies, eclairs, and other delectable sweets. Led by Chef Sylvain, the bakers blend traditional French techniques with innovative touches to create beloved artisan loaves such as baguettes (a favorite among French expats), sourdough boule, rosemary loaf, French country loaf, butter brioche, and housemade croutons.
Really nice place to just sit, relax and enjoy some great pastries. They have the best cake, cookies and cheesecake. The French Cheesecake was so good, I order 2 more. 😂. It is very cozy inside and outside. You feel like you are in a cafe in Europe. France or Spain. Very nice people.. A must visit for your favorite pastries..

Lovely spot - out of the 3 patisseries in SouthPark this one takes my vote for the best for food, atmosphere, and experience. The patio seating area is really quite something - beautiful plants and even a fountain make it a special place where you feel transported out of Charlotte and into a quaint villa. An umbrella is covering each table and plenty of tree foliage so you can enjoy it even on a hot summer day! Food was very delicious - we had fig, arugula, white cheddar tartine and the avocado toast. To drink we had the lemon raspberry mimosa and coffee. And we had some nice desert pastries to top it off. Will definitely be back!

Went to the Bastille Day celebration here at the bakery in South Park. Had an accordion player, a chef making crepes, and delicious food from the bakery. Lots of seating outside, pretty water features. Had fun. Recommend bakery!

Today, May 10th, I ordered my food at 2:07 pm and my food arrived after 30 minutes at 2:39 pm with a hair. The cooks do not use the hair protector to prevent your hair from falling into the food. Basically when the owner of the place is there everything is perfect, but today he is not there. I picked up my cake on Thursday 05/15, but I ate it yesterday, Friday, and the cake had more cheese than cake and was orange. My cake was supposedly made with Redvelt.😵‍💫😵‍💫

FYI the kitchen closes at 3PM it was my first time but I had no idea. The staff was very courteous and let us know. We ordered 2 orders of beef bourguignon it comes with a side and 2 slices of baguette. The ratatouille was phenomenal you can tell the work it took and the eggplant wasn’t slimy. The bourguignon was incredible. The depth of flavor and richness reminded me of stuff my grandmother made. You can taste the bit of wine in it and I’m definitely coming back to try their other soups quiches and the Coq Au Vin. The latte and macaroons were great one of their regulars bought us two macaroons and took one of our fries 😆. A true Gem in Charlotte.” 💎

Mornings have always been a refreshing start for the day at SouthPark with a quaint atmosphere of Renaissance Pattiserie which is just a few blocks away from our home. This delectable experience is coupled by my personal choice of Croque Monsieur and Florentine Quiche plus the aroma of a cup of cappuccino. It is highly rated and a benchmark for lifestyle breakfast.

Suárez Bakery is a renowned Charlotte establishment that has been serving the community since 1992. They are known for their exquisite custom cakes, pastries, and desserts, as well as their authentic Cuban bread available on Saturdays. The bakery takes pride in handcrafting each treat with attention to detail and offers a wide variety of baked goods including cookies, brownies, cupcakes, bars, and pies.
Fresh made pasties daily. Their glazed donuts are so simple and good. We also picked up a Carrot Cake for my husband’s birthday. It was amazing. It’s a spice cake with cream cheese filling, cinnamon buttercream icing and candied orange peel crown. If you like carrot cake, this is a great place to get it! We were thoroughly impressed. Thank you Suarez Bakery!

We used Suarez for our wedding cakes and I am so happy we did! They not only looked beautiful but also everyone raved about how delicious they were! It was all extremely reasonably priced and we were able to get a variety of flavors for our guests: chocolate mouse, vanilla raspberry, & strawberry chiffon. Highly recommend their cakes for your next event!
Kristina K — Google review
We cannot say enough amazing things about Suarez! Instead of one traditional cake, we had the idea to pass out 10 individual cakes at our wedding—one for each table—and not only did they make it happen, they absolutely blew us away. Each cake was unique, beautifully decorated, and most importantly, unbelievably delicious. Our guests were floored—not just by the presentation, but by how good every single one was. It turned into such a fun and interactive moment during the reception, with guests trading slices between tables and raving about their favorites. It brought people together in such a sweet and unexpected way. The quality, creativity, and love that went into each cake was so clear. This wasn’t just dessert—it was an experience. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and can turn your wildest cake dreams into reality, THIS is the baker for you. Total 5 stars and then some! James & Dana

Omg 😲 this place is so dangerous if you're trying to stay on a perfect diet, me on the other hand, I'm not too worried about a "summer body" haha. But No this place has some of the best desserts I've had in Charlotte in a long time. When I say that Carrot Cake and Key Lime Cheesecake are the Best I've ever had I mean just that. I also had the pleasure of trying the Cheesecake Brownie and Red Velvet stuffed cookie which were good too! However I am a Carrot Cake person and this has beat some of my top places, the cake itself is so soft and moist, the icing is perfectly layered and decadent, then you get nice pieces of Carrot spread throughout OMG! To Die For 😋 It's safe to say I will be back for more ❤️

Another birthday party for my boy who doesn’t like cake? Suárez is always there to save the day. We found you guys 2 years ago and there’s been no question as to what we’re getting for birthday parties! These letter donuts were a hit! Thank you, for incredible customer service and even more incredible donuts!

I got this beautiful cake from Suarez. It's absolutely lovely, and it tastes amazing. I love the red velvet, but I imagine all flavors are good. Best bakery in Charlotte.
Lucy A — Google review
I wanted to order a birthday cake for my two year old using one of their house designs but without the chocolate drip on top - would have been easiest thing for them to do but the woman taking the order said they couldn’t make any changes. I understand certain changes aren’t possible but this one would have been so easy. I think she may not have understood rules around customization but it was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve ever had with Suarez.

Sunflour Baking Company is a delightful bakery that offers a variety of delicious baked goods. One of their standout items is the Sunnys Special breakfast sandwich, featuring egg, sausage, sundried tomato pesto, and arugula. The bakery also prides itself on its cleanliness and friendly service. Customers appreciate the helpful staff who offer samples to ensure customer satisfaction. The blueberry muffin stands out for its natural sweetness from real blueberries rather than added sugar.
We had the pleasure of working with Lola at Sunflour Baking Company to order our wedding cake, and the entire experience was truly wonderful! Earlier this year, my husband and I had such a fun and memorable tasting with Lola. From the very beginning, it was clear how passionate she is about her craft—she was genuinely excited to create something special for our big day. We were especially relieved and grateful that Sunflour offers vegan options, which can be hard to find. When we arrived at our venue, we were blown away by the beautiful cake she had created. We ordered a two-tier naked cake: the bottom tier was vanilla with fresh strawberry filling, and the top was confetti cake with vanilla filling. It looked stunning and tasted even better! Lola personally delivered the cake and thoughtfully decorated it with our reception florals, adding such a lovely touch. Not only did my husband and I love the cake, but our guests did too—many were surprised to find out it was vegan! The flavor and texture were incredible. Communication with the Sunflour team was smooth and easy, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. Thank you, Lola, for creating such a beautiful and delicious cake. We can’t wait to work with you again!

How do you expect me to eat a burnt egg sandwich. This tasted like paper and I had to throw it away after spending $8 on it. What a shame, this was absolutely disgusting and I am never ordering food from this place again. Don't get the egg sandwiches here, they always burn the eggs. They don't know how to cook eggs.

the atmosphere of the cafe is very nice and calm. one of the workers (faye? fay?) provided excellent customer service and had my food and drink out in a timely manner. not only was the food excellent, but the server also offered to add syrup to my coffee without extra charge if it wasn’t sweet enough. will definitely be coming back.
River — Google review
First off impressions....very clean The lady behind the counter was very helpful and kind. We decided on a “dirty” latte and regular coffee along with a blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll. The lady let me sample my latte to make sure the sweetness was to my liking and it was. I thought that was a nice touch or customer service. The regular coffee was decent. The blueberry muffin is not your typical sweet muffin. It grabs its sweetness from the real blueberries. The cinnamon roll was super sweet but somehow I couldn’t stop eating it. You could taste the real cinnamon! We got there after lunch time and there just weren’t many options left to choose from. Knowing this I suggest going earlier to make sure you can pick what you like. Lots of vegan/gluten free options.

Sunny’s Special Sandwich (Rosemary sourdough bread) with meat, egg and sundried tomato pesto was decent. Blueberry muffin was aromatic and surprisingly the sweetness comes from only blueberries. Pastry is crumbly and fresh.

Manolo's Bakery, a family-run establishment, has been serving fresh Latin-American baked goods for over twenty-seven years. The bakery offers a wide variety of sweet and savory treats such as empanadas, tres leches cakes, tortas, polvorones, and conchas. Manolo Betancur, the owner, is not only a talented baker but also a dedicated social justice activist who supports local and global aid initiatives.
Manolo’s is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Latin flavors. 🥐☕ From their bakery with fresh, artisan bread to their pastry shop with the best tres leches cake I’ve ever had. 🎂✨ The café serves delicious coffee, perfect to pair with any of their desserts, and the ice cream shop offers irresistible options, including amazing vegan ice creams. 🍦🌱😍 The atmosphere is warm, and the service is always friendly. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to! 🙌💛

This was my first visit here after my co-worker told me about them. I just had to go. All the items I had were amazing! I like that they don't make their food overly sweet. They are balanced in that especially the coco flan and tiramisu. You can feel the family vibes and mood of caring for their business in the air. The staff is sweet as well as the owner. This place is definitely on my list to return to for baked goods and whoever is reading this should too.

My friend got me a Mocha cake from here for my birthday and it was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had hands down. I work at bakery myself so I can be rather picky about my sweets, but I would probably get this exact cake for all my future birthdays. The cake was spongy and insanely moist. The whipped frosting was light, airy, and not too sweet. It was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, and the price was very reasonable for the quality. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional. I can’t wait to try more from here!

I ordered for a company event at Coca Cola for Hispanic Heritage Month for around 100 people. I worked with Mickey in catering. The food was some of the best desserts and empanadas that I have tasted! Everyone at the event loved the food and the service. Miguel and Mickey were not only friendly but were at every moment ready to help and assist in anyway we needed and went above and beyond. I highly reccomend using their catering service for your next event. There is a reason they are named one of the best bakeries in the COUNTRY! I can't say enough good things!

We’ve ordered cakes from here for many years and stop in often for pan dulce and yummy empanadas. We’ve also preordered tamales for the holidays. Most recently I placed an order to create a dessert table for my daughter’s High School Grad Party. The gentleman I spoke to gave great recommendations, pick up was smooth and pricing was great. I highly recommend Manolo’s! Updated: added just some of the cakes we’ve ordered throughout the years. We’ve always been so happy with the service and product. 11 years of birthday and celebrations and counting

Manolos Bakery in Charlotte offers not only the best Hispanic baked treats, but they have incredible and authentic non-bakery related items as well (arepas, empanadas, mini sliders, etc). Manolos provided a variety of delicious food and desert hour d’oeuvres for an office event, and every person in attendance commented on how tasty the food was. Mickey Correa from Manolos took great care of us when ordering, and I’m looking forward to eating more Manolos in the future!

Villani's Bakery is a charming spot in Charlotte that offers a delightful selection of New York-Italian and European pastries. From traditional cannolis, seven-layer cookies, and tiramisu to French-inspired croissants and macarons, this bakery has something for every sweet tooth. Their menu also features regional classics like sfingi (Italian doughnuts) and biscotti. Everything is made fresh in-house, including a variety of cakes, muffins, and cookies.
Villani's Bakery is a sweet slice of heaven in Charlotte. Their pastries are next-level, especially the lobster tail, tiramisu, and Italian cream cake. The croissants are flaky perfection, and the macaroons? Little bites of joy. You’ll find everything from funfetti cheesecake to pineapple upside-down cake, all made with care and flair. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the outdoor seating adds a cozy touch to your pastry pilgrimage. Whether you're popping in for a quick treat or indulging in a full dessert tasting, Villani’s delivers flavor, charm, and a five-star experience.

I was so excited about trying this bakery after reading the reviews. I only enjoyed the almond croissant and the s’mores bar. Unfortunately, the chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon roll were hard, tasted stale and were trashed. Overall, I would not recommend this bakery.

Stopped into Villani’s bakery this weekend Saturday around 3pm. There was a good amount of parking as it’s next to an açaí and cheese steak place. The bakery was great, tiny, but the line moved very quick. They had everything from drinks to cakes to small bakery items like macaroons, croissants, cookies and bread. The staff was great super friendly and energetic. Also a great location. Just up the street are many shops and different food locations.

Let me set the stage. My birthday was on a Tuesday, but the big celebration? Sunday dinner. Friends. Family. A gathering of the finest people in my life. I told my wife, “Please, no grocery store cheesecake this year—get the real deal. A proper New York cheesecake. Go big or go home.” She found a charming bakery in Charlotte. Small business. Local. A $70 New York cheesecake was ordered, along with a $7 slice of Italian Crème Cake for herself. We even pre-tipped $15 because, hey, support small biz, right? Total damage? About $96. We pick it up. The place is cute. We’re excited. Fast forward to that evening: candles lit, “Happy Birthday” sung, the cheesecake sliced ceremoniously. I hand out pieces with pride, ready to bask in creamy glory. But something’s… off. One by one, eyebrows raise. Faces twist. Confused stares bounce around the table like a game of Clue. This wasn’t New York cheesecake. This was… citrus. The unmistakable zing of lemon and orange. A flavor that screams “Florida spring break” more than “Manhattan dessert classic.” I called the bakery—still calm, still hopeful. I asked, “Hey, I think we got the wrong cheesecake. This tastes like lemon and orange, not NY-style.” She replies: “Does it have orange slices in it?” Me: “Actually… yeah. What?” Her response: “That’s our New York cheesecake. We make it with lemon and orange slices.” I paused. Internally, the needle scratched across the record. This wasn’t a mix-up. This was their intentional version of a “New York cheesecake.” Reinvented. Redefined. Citrus-fied. A bold choice, sure—but also, absolutely not what anyone would expect when ordering a NY cheesecake. We returned to the bakery—still calm, still polite—to see if they’d make it right. Nope. “Email the company,” they said. No refund, no exchange, no effort. Just a shrug and “sorry.” At this point, it wasn’t even about the cake. It was about principle. It was about justice. It was about warning future generations of this culinary bait-and-switch. Let me be clear: lemon and orange slices have no place in a New York cheesecake. That’s not an opinion. That’s dessert law. Ask anyone—your grandma, a pastry chef, a man on the street. NY cheesecake is rich, creamy, vanilla-forward, maybe with a graham cracker crust. That’s it. Not a citrus fruit in sight. We ended up favoring a $10 Harris Teeter gluten-free cheesecake sampler over this $70 boutique disappointment. And honestly? That store-bought cheesecake won the popular vote. By a landslide. So here’s my suggestion to the bakery: 1. Call your cake what it is—Lemon Citrus Cheesecake. 2. Don’t gaslight your customers. When someone orders a classic dessert, then politely calls to ask why it tastes like a citrus grove, the answer shouldn’t be a casual “That’s how we make it.” 3. Consider that some people have citrus allergies and you’ve made no effort to disclose this bold creative decision. I hate leaving 1-star reviews, actually this is my first ever, but I felt it was my duty. For the next unsuspecting soul who just wants a real birthday cheesecake without a splash of scandal.

We stopped by the bakery last night after dinner on a whim, thanks to a TikTok video that made everything look irresistible. It was about 8 PM, so the selection was a bit limited compared to what they likely offer during the day, but wow—what we did try was incredible! I’m kicking myself for not discovering this place sooner (and my pants aren’t thrilled about it either). The bakery itself is cozy—tiny, even. Be prepared to rub shoulders (literally) with your fellow dessert enthusiasts. The staff was plentiful and efficient, keeping things moving quickly, but the pace did make me feel a little rushed—this isn’t the spot for leisurely browsing. Now, for the sweets: •   Chocolate cake: 10/10, absolute perfection! Rich, moist, and indulgent. •   Key lime pie: Another 10/10—just the right balance of tart and sweet. Chef’s kiss! •   Lobster claw: Good, but not quite our favorite. The cream filling was divine, but the pastry wasn’t quite to our taste (though we think it’s just how they’re supposed to be). •   Rainbow Neapolitan cookie: A delightful standout—flavorful and fun! •   Lemon bar: TBD, as my wife hasn’t tried it yet. •   Cream horn: We only sampled the filling so far, and it’s fantastic. We’re saving the rest for later. This bakery is an absolute gem, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of their offerings. To those about to nosh, we salute you!

Villani’s is the type of place that deserves a sixth star. Was visiting Charlotte and randomly visited based on proximity to downtown and ratings. First impression, there is a small parking lot, hooray! Was already sold. Entered the smallish building to find one of the most beautiful selections of Italian//NY/ with a touch of southern pastries. There was more than ample staff on the busy Saturday morning that were so patient and helpful while I contemplated all my selections. Left with macarons, cake slice, biscuit, lobster tails, sfogliatella, and a large coffee for under $40. Although I live about 90miles away, I’m already contemplating ordering holiday desserts. This bakery is the real deal, I would be here a ridiculous amount if I lived nearby. Just go.

The Wow Factor Cakes, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a renowned bakery specializing in creating personalized wedding cakes and specialty cakes. With a focus on providing a tailored experience for each client, the dedicated staff ensures attention to detail and a personal approach to bring their customers' visions to life. Boasting an extensive history in the wedding industry since 2002, The Wow Factor Cakes has gained recognition for its exceptional artful designs and delectable flavors.
The Wow Factor is where you should go to get your wedding cake in Charlotte. We were obviously excited about the cake tasting part of wedding planning, but didn’t expect to love ALL of our options so much! When COVID hit a week before our original wedding date, the Wow Factor was not only kind enough to help us postpone (and ultimately postpone again), but also made and delivered to our home a small wedding cake for my husband and I when we still chose to get married on our original date. It was incredibly meaningful and helped make our day so special. I will always be grateful. Ultimately, the cake at our postponed reception was both beautiful and delicious. I will absolutely be returning to the Wow Factor for all of my cake needs in the future.

Update 11/22/23: tried to order an anniversary cake and cannot get a hold of them after paying. Their website doesn’t work and their phones are out of order. Ordered our Wedding Cake and a Groom's Cake for our November wedding! While they are a little difficult to get ahold of, the cakes were incredible and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. Our wedding cake was Lemon Lavender with a light purple hue and was the lightest, most decadent flavor. The groom's cake was chocolate and chocolate and was probably the best chocolate cake we've ever had. They were also beautiful and a huge highlight of our night. Would highly recommend!

Lei Cristine was amazing to work with! She was responsive, flexible, and beyond helpful. We met with her twice to discuss the design, flavors, etc of our wedding cake and a groom's cake. WOW Factor surpassed our expectations!! They were able to take our ideas and put all of them on a cake- unbelievable! Both of the cakes were beautiful and SO TASTY! We *almost* didn't want to eat them because of how amazing they looked. We are so excited to eat the top of our cake at our anniversary!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Stop what you are doing and order your cake from The Wow Factor Cake! As a second time bride insistent upon making up for my first horribly ugly cake, my bar was set super high and I was worried I’d be let down again. Not only did the end result WOW us visually but it tasted amazing too! My vision was captured every step of the way and I can honestly say everything was exceptional! I wish I could give more stars but I will shout THANK YOU!

My husband and I were married at the Ballantyne Country Club on June 11th 2022 and we could not be more pleased with our cake! Wow Factor Cakes was our venues preferred cake vendor and we now understand why. They will ensure your special day is backed by an equally special cake that tastes just as good as it looks! We cannot wait to eat our anniversary layer!

Wow Factor provided our wedding cake in September, 2020. They executed our vision for the cake perfectly. There is nothing more that we could have asked for. They offer a wide variety of cake and frosting flavors as well as design options. The price was right in line with our budget, too. We highly recommend Wow Factor!

My cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious! We got married in July and I knew Wow Factor Cakes was the bakery for me the moment I walked in the door. My guests still talk about how delicious the cake was and how breathtaking it was! We had lemon raspberry for one tier and salted caramel for another. Our anniversary cake is carrot cake. I absolutely recommend Wow Factor Cakes because the attention to detail put into the cake is unmatched.
Thomas L — Google review
Wow Factor Cakes is terrible to work with. I wanted to get my anniversary cake here since we got our wedding cake from them. Communication for the wedding cake was facilitated by the wedding planner so that was an ok experience for me. Can't say how it was for the wedding planner who had to deal with them more. However, since trying to get the anniversary cake, I've called two dozen times (no response), emailed a few times (no response), sent a request through the website (no response). The cake was fine, but definitely not worth all this trouble. Was willing to do it for the one year anniversary, but never again! Definitely would not recommend.

Amélie's French Bakery & Café is a charming and popular spot known for its delectable pastries, light meals, and coffee drinks. The café recently moved to NoDa from its original location in Villa Heights, offering the same beloved classic French treats. With large windows providing views of the bustling bakery and a lovely private patio, patrons can savor their food indoors or outdoors.
Great place for some nice pastries and sweets. They also have some food items you can order. The place transforms you to Paris when you walk in. The setting and art works on the wall are all French based. Plenty of sits both inside and outside. Lovely place to meet for meeting or just to hang out with your friends or love one.

Enjoyed my experience. It had been a while and I decided to come with family for a quick little brunch sesh and they loved it. Pastries were nice and soft. Nicely sweetened. Coffee and lattes were very good as well. Nice balance of coffee and sweet. A bit pricey but granted we did buy a lot. Atmosphere is very chill and quiet enough for people to bring their work and have a treat. Lots of parking also, its right in front of Sprouts market and beside the Atrium Health Urgent Care.

We stopped by this Amelie’s in the NoDa area of Charlotte after seeing it recommended on several food lists, and it completely lived up to the hype. The place has a wonderful mix of French bakery treats along with great options for breakfast and lunch. We couldn’t resist trying the macarons, especially the fun flavors like peanut butter and jelly and coconut lime. They were a bit larger than usual and packed with great flavor. The café itself is absolutely charming, filled with creative French-inspired décor that makes it feel special from the moment you walk in. The service was warm, friendly, and made the visit even better. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their pastries!

Have been going to Amelie’s since 2009. Boy has it changed but keeps getting better! Went for me and my husband’s anniversary last week after dinner as a throwback. We moved an hour away and did dinner in Charlotte also. Of course we had to get the SCB ( salted Caramel Brownie) and decaf which they brewed fresh. I am gluten and dairy free and didn’t think I’d have anything for me other than coffee but shockingly the pbj macaroon and macarons were both gluten and dairy free. Always a fav!

As a Francophile I’m pretty disappointed in Amelie’s. I used to come to Amelie’s park road location in high school and was impressed with the assortment of deserts, treats and most importantly baguettes. I move away for some year during college and then moved to France after college for a year. Maybe it’s my experience but their sandwiches are just not good any more. This is my third time having a bad experience specifically with the baguettes. Baguettes are so simple but so important to a good sandwich and a good French establishment. These baguettes sandwiches are not small but are just bad. They need massive improvement. Pictured below is the sandwich I bought for $12. It’s a quarter of the entire sandwich which shows really how small these are. Goat cheese is in the title of the sandwich but i can’t taste it at all! Look at the picture yourself and try to find the goat cheese! There is none! Owners, if you are reading this. PLEASE go to France and then come back and review your menu. You can make improvement and bring this establishment back to its glory. It has fallen so far from excellent.

I cannot even begin to tell you how in love I am with Amélie's. This place is such a vibe! Perfect place to meet up with friends or family. Food/drinks were amazing! Such a comfortable atmosphere. To beat the crowds I'd highly recommended an early weekday or weekend morning.

The Bakery Shoppe, located at 9606 Sherrill Estates Road in Huntersville, is a charming family-owned bakery that has been serving delicious sweet treats since 2003. This classic American baking shop offers an array of delectable desserts including apple fritters, thumbprint cookies, lattice-top pies, Danishes, brownies, donuts, bear claws, muffins, cupcakes and more.
I came here to buy a cheesecake for my wife’s birthday after seeing the positive reviews. I was definitely not disappointed. The staff was polite, when we walked in, they were cleaning because they had no customers, so the place smelled nice and fresh. Customer service was excellent, and this cheesecake is literally the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life! I very highly recommend this bakery. Very, very good.

Today’s pastry adventure was to The Bakery Shoppe. From the minute my son and I walked in, the young man who waited on us made us feel like we should not be there. He never greeted us or thanked us. When we were admiring the display, he would constantly ask us “Is that all?” I like to look at all options and choose everything I would like to try without being rushed. We were the only ones in line and were not holding up other customers. Out of everything I tried, I would only recommend the cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie (I forgot to take a picture) and peach muffin (although it does need more peaches). The cinnamon roll had plenty of cinnamon but needed cream cheese icing or glaze. The strawberry and chocolate croissants were not good either. I can sometimes overlook the service if the quality of pastries are good. That is not the case for this bakery. Overall, I would not recommend.

The Bakery Shoppe has been serving up delectable goodies for all sweet tooth’s in Huntersville for many years now and is always a great option to sate a craving for a cake slice, donut, cookie, brownie, muffin and a whole plethora of wonderful delights at a very reasonable price. Where else can you go get a huge apple fritter, a chocolate glazed donut at least twice the size of those from some franchise places, an apple crumble mini apple pie, a monster chocolate eclair and big thick chocolate brownie for $21 in 2025 .. yep, at The Bakery Shoppe ..

Absolutely the BEST of bakery and baked yummies I have had west to east coast❣️ The AWESOME baker - as well as the AMAZING (and knowledgeable staff) go WAY above & beyond what we could even expect! We will NEVER go to another bakery for ANY baked specialties we need - and the FABULOUS cakes he makes are also sold by the piece, too, so that you can sample your favorite desires ...INCREDIBLE, indeed - but dont forget the DELECTABLE doughnuts, pastries, and cookies of every kind!! (Our needs were a specialty cake to feed 70, and WOW - the Lemon Creme was EXEMPLARY, and they even helped us carry out to our car upon pick-up - thank you, Eros!) Also, hot and cold beverages such as YUMMY Lattes (- I had the very best Lavender, but they have every kind you could think of), cappuccino, coffee, tea, soda, juice, and many more are available, plus other food products with very casual, comfortable seating available.💝✝️💞

If you want to send a really nice, beautiful and delicious gift basket, this is the place to go! They have different baskets but I chose one that had a variety of good options but I added more products. I tried some of their products -they made it home safe but once at home, they are gone!!!sooooo good!!! I am sure that my dog's vet and his staff will truly enjoy their basket!!

We checked out this chocolate shop. It’s very cute. The chocolate is delicious. I got the last bourbon pecan pie bite of the day. It tastes good with just a hint of a pecan pie taste. That was a little disappointing. The prices are super high! For a bag of a few chocolates it’s $13.

I worked with Robin at The Secret Chocolatier via the phone and email (I'm in VA) to place a large order for a corporate event in Dallas, Texas. First, Robin provided amazing customer service and really helped me to understand the process of ordering custom chocolate sample boxes. She kept things on track and was thinking ahead every step of the way. The team even added a custom tag we created with a green bow to match our branding. Second, we were in Dallas at the tail end of the heat wave and shipping the chocolates from Charlotte, NC to Dallas, TX was nerve-wracking! Robin had them shipped overnight and they arrived on time and packaged well. To top it off, the chocolates themselves were absolutely delicious! Our conference attendees loved them! Thank you Robin and TSC!

Just went in on my lunch hour to pick up a sampler box for a dear friend’s birthday. Ended up leaving with a box for her and a box for me. Walking in you’re greeted with the divine smell of chocolate so you know that items here are fresh. These are chocolates to be savored and I promise you won’t be disappointed. So many choices and taste to explore. Woman behind counter was kind and patient. Definitely recommend if you need a gift or want a treat for yourself. Love the extra touch of the guide to the flavors you picked out. Nice! I’ll go back again and again. Oh and they ship if you need something sent out of town.

After getting dinner at Leah and Louise, we stopped by here for some dessert. We sampled several things from their fall menu: caramel apple macaron, pumpkin ginger cheesecake, banana white chocolate bread pudding, and a salted caramel oatmeal cream pie. I had heard great things about the bread, so we also got a rosemary olive oil goat cheese foccacia. We really enjoyed all of the desserts (with the exception of the cheesecake which I wasn't a huge fan of). The bread pudding was my favorite. I absolutely loved the middle bite of the salted caramel oatmeal cream pie, but it made me wish the other bites had caramel too (it was only in the middle). I'm not a bread person, but the bread stood out the most. It was incredible. It had the best flavor and was coated in sea salt. The olive oil made it moist. We were going to save most of it for later and ended up finishing the whole load when we got home. If you haven't tried their bread, you really need to. I'm already wanting to go back for more.

In Charlotte's vibrant NoDa neighborhood, nestled within the bustling Camp North End, there lies a bakery that could very well be the stuff of legends - Wentworth & Fenn. Commanded by the culinary wizardry of Chef Sam Ward, this establishment isn't just a bakery; it's a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of local small businesses in the face of adversity. You see, Chef Sam had to close her uptown location due to the all-too-familiar tale of high overheads and low foot traffic, a stark reminder of the fragility of our beloved local haunts. It's upon learning this that I felt a renewed urgency to support our local gems, and what better way to do this than by indulging in the culinary delights of Wentworth & Fenn? Armed with the determination of a foodie on a mission, I set my alarm clock with military precision, ensuring I'd arrive just in time to sample their famed Saturday bakery specials. The menu? A smorgasbord of freshly baked wonders that could tempt even the most disciplined of eaters. Peering into the display case, my eyes danced over the array of fresh cakes, breads and pastries, each looking more tantalizing than the last. While I didn't indulge this time, they've been duly noted for a future visit, which, let me assure you, will be sooner rather than later. First on my list was the Basil & Burrata Bialy, a masterpiece of baked goods that harmoniously blends the freshness of basil with the creamy delight of burrata, all atop a bialy that's as pillowy as clouds in a Renaissance painting. The smoked salt & lemon cream cheese was a revelation, adding a zesty freshness that elevated the bialy to new heights. My only quibble? A personal preference for warmth, to further unlock the flavors nestled within this delightful creation. Then came the Mozzarella, Rosemary, & Garlic Quiche - a slice of heaven, if ever there was one. The egginess, creamy texture, and aromatic herbs combined to create a symphony of flavors, all encased in a crust that was flaky yet robust, unlike any I've tasted before. It was so divine, I briefly considered a heist to take the whole pie home with me. The ambiance of Wentworth & Fenn is akin to a cozy coffee shop, with a smattering of tables and chairs that invite you to sit and savor. The soundtrack of my morning? "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park, adding a nostalgic yet energizing backdrop to an already perfect morning. So, to my fellow Charlotteans, let this be a call to arms - or rather, a call to forks! In a world where the convenience of chain stores tempts us away from the unique charm of local businesses, let's band together to support the places that make our city truly special. I can't wait to return and dive into their delectable desserts. See you there?

I finally made it! I’ve been looking forward to this forever! Sam is a treasure & her baked goods are divine! I could have taken everything home! Carly waited on me with patience & took great care helping me pick out a biscuit, a vegan pastry, a loaf of the 4 cheese onion & garlic boule. While my husband was in Babe and Butcher I broke off a piece of the biscuit and I don’t think I’ve ever tasted any biscuit like this one! And I have had my share of biscuits my entire life. The size of this thing, Oh my! I had to try Hex Coffee. Most coffees can be bitter, but not this one. It was perfect! I want to personally thank Sam for having me as a guest in her beautiful space! Allowing me to indulge in her amazing baked goods baked with love & artfully displayed. Anyone wanting to experience a unique bakery, this is it! Parts of this bakery took me back to France & a mix of modern day. The macarons were like pieces of art! Don’t hesitate! Get in your car & go experience this delightful bakery & Sam’s charms for yourself! After you pick up your treats, walk around & explore Camp North End, it’s a gem in Charlotte! Update: Update: July 26 I can’t resist coming in for a treat when I am in the area. This afternoon my husband and I shared a chocolate pastry with this amazing espresso cream. I can’t remember the name of the treat but, it was So delicious! I took a little video of it. Of course we also had the Hex coffee. It’s perfect!

Their specialty lies in crafting flawless fondant and luscious frostings to adorn their moist and delectable cakes. The bakery offers a wide range of sweet treats, including custom cakes, New York Style cheesecakes, and an assortment of cupcakes with flavors like Red Velvet, Blue Velvet, and Key Lime.
I ordered my sisters birthday cake from here and it was absolutely amazing! I asked if they did the edible printing because I wanted photos of her on the cake and they turned out beautiful! I had to wait longer than I expected for the cake to be finished but overall I was completely wowed by the cake when she came out the door. And my sister cried when we surprised her with it so it definitely was a hit! It tasted GREAT and was so moist and delicious!

Recently, I had the pleasure of trying the strawberry crunch cake at this bakery and it truly stands out as one of the best desserts I've had. The cake itself is bursting with flavor, striking a perfect balance between sweetness and tartness. It incorporates an ideal amount of cream that brings all the components together seamlessly. What sets this cake apart is the delightful crunch coating on the side, adding an extra layer of texture and satisfaction. In addition to the strawberry option, the other flavors on offer also look incredibly tempting, so I highly recommend giving them a try. 👍

I love BW Sweets. I visited Super Bowl Sunday to pick up a few items for the game. They were out of a lot of things, but that was to be expected at the time I went. I ended up getting the Banana Pudding Cake, Lemon Pound Cake, Pineapple Coconut Cake, and Peach Cobbler. The Pineapple Coconut and Lemon Pound Cakes got rave reviews. They were moist and delicious. The cobbler was undercooked. The crust was not crispy or flaky. It did have a great flavor and plenty of peaches. It was gummy. We haven’t eaten the banana Pudding Cake yet so no comment on that. I still love BW Sweets and suggest you check out this local gem.

I heard about BW Sweets Bakery from Facebook. I drove 32 miles round trip from Concord NC to try it. First Impression as my very first time coming there soon as me and my husband walked in we were not greeted with a hello nothing! My husband asked if they had peach cobbler instead of using her words she just pointed her finger to the end of the counter! When I asked if I could take a pic of her sign for my instagram reels(a post to promote & support) the business she was very dry never asked was it our first time visiting, have we been there before NOTHING! After we paid she simply asked did we want a receipt we said no thanks she turned around walked back to the back of the store without so much of a thanks for shopping there today or at least waiting until we left the store! The customer service was very DRY! Not worth a 32 mile drive on a rainy Sunday afternoon and people complain no one supports black owned business! I didn't try my dessert yet but no matter how good it taste I will never go back! All it took was a SMALL moment of consideration!

We stopped here yesterday hadn’t been in a while. We were very disappointed it did not taste the same at all! The cake seem like it had been sitting out too long. The icing was good but the cake was the worst. The Rice Krispie was not good at all. Really couldn’t taste any marshmallows and very buttery. They get the two stars because they lady that was there was very pleasant and I loved her beautiful smile and personality.

Vicente is a charming bakery that has become a sensation in South End, Charlotte since its opening in 2023. The owners' quest for the perfect pastries led them to create this artisanal bakery, offering an array of globally inspired breakfast and lunch options, including 10 different types of croissants. Named after a street in Buenos Aires, Vicente provides free parking and invites patrons to savor their meticulously crafted sweet and savory treats while enjoying a cup of coffee.
This bakery/coffee shop has earned a five-star review from me, thanks to its captivating ambiance and exceptional service. As I enter, I am greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere, as well as a friendly and attentive staff, whose distinctive accent adds to the shop's charm. For those who prefer to sit outside, the shop provides comfortable seating and umbrellas, offering a pleasant retreat from the sun. The pistachio croissant and chocolate pistachio croissant are my top picks.
Alvinia H — Google review
UPDATED FROM 5 TO 4 STARS: Vicente in Charlotte is a pastry lover’s dream. Their croissants are hands down the best I’ve ever had, flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection. Whether it’s the classic butter croissant, ham & cheese, or one of their creative seasonal flavors like chocolate pistachio or dulce de leche, they’re pure magic. The bakery blends Latin American and European influences, creating a menu that’s both unique and comforting. The staff are friendly, and the cozy vibes make it a great spot to start your day. However, they’re continuously sold out of key items, which means they’re not keeping enough stock to meet daily demand. It’s frustrating to arrive early and still miss out. That knocks it down a star, but the quality remains top-tier.

I will admit that I am not one to typically write reviews as it usually involves having to figure out my password and by then I lose motivation and stick to an occasional ❤️ or 🤤 or maybe a comment on instagram which is the only social media I have and I have it only to discover the next yummy food to enjoy. And Instagram is how I came to know and love Vicente. I can still remember the smell of their amazing croissants 🥐 when I first opened their door and knew how incredible they were going to be. Their breakfast croissant sandwich is huge and I usually split with a girlfriend so we can then also split a delicious pastry too! Their food is delicious and their people are sweet and kind. Unlike the people who decided to give them 1 star ⭐️ reviews because they sell out of their pastries since they are so delicious. And is why I decided to actually go to the effort to write a review today. Two… not just one person felt the need to take the time write a review and give 1 star saying that business is doing bad business simply because they sell out of a product before they managed to get there to buy any. One even stating that they came at 9, 11, & 12 and every time are sold out. Now personally if I went at those 3 times and they were already sold out, I’d set my alarm and try earlier next time. As a matter of fact, I know that Vicente opens at 7:30am, is closed on Mondays, and closes when they sell out. So when I have a Vicente craving I make sure I am there no later than 7:45am to get what I want or accept the consequences that what I want may be gone. Being mad at business for being sold out of a special is like walking into a bakery mid October and being mad that they no longer have the September donut of the month. Come on people do better! Be better! And for everyone else who already knows how good Vicente is, take the time to write a review and help raise Vicente star score back up from the 1 stars ⭐️ people who should be given themselves a 1 ⭐️ star!

I cannot recommend enough this place. It is by FAR and without a doubt the BEST bakery in Charlotte. Pastries are freshly baked and you can tell, they have great customer service and they are always coming up with new flavors and ideas (which is dangerous because there’s always something new to try). I love it and always find an excuse to go get their stuff. Just a heads up, go early cuz they are so good that they will ran out of goodies if you get there late!!!! I love you guys!

Staff is always attentive. The food is always amazing! Fresh, hot and delicious. I remember my first time I showed up a little after 11 not knowing that breakfast had stopped and out of the kindness of her heart their chef made me a breakfast sandwich. I always make sure to get there before 11 now!

By far the best croissants I have ever eaten in my life. All of the pastries are excellent. Advice - get there early because everybody in town also knows how good it is. 😂

Great bakery. Pay to park due to being in the city there is a parking garage right before the bakery and then some parking around the corner if you turn right at the light. But a good bakery some empanadas and breakfast things to order. As well as baked goods, a lot of croissant style baked goods. Coffees and other drinks available as well.

I have been to Vicente several times. I like their pastries, but they are huge. Like all American, giant portion huge. Some are definitely better than others. Today, I got a ham and cheese croissant. It was definitely not super flaky. The top layer was flaky, but it kind of fell off and the other layers were almost bready. The filling was average- I would label it as a lot of fluff, but not a lot of stuff. The coffee was good. I got a double espresso. I think had I just said espresso, I would have gotten the same amount and not had the upcharge for a double. The outside seating area was nice. There was plenty of space and plenty of shade.

Located on the west side of Charlotte, The Batch House is a charming bakery run by Cris Rojas Agurcia, also known as The Batchmaker. The bakery boasts a delightful Grandmillennial decor and offers a cozy neighborhood vibe. Cristina Rojas, originally from Honduras, now resides in Charlotte with her family and serves an array of childhood favorite treats such as chocolate chip cookies, Poptarts, and oatmeal cream pies.
I’ve been a big fan of the batch house/the batch maker since the day the original location opened. They have the most delicious treats, I’m obsessed with all of the cookies and brownies, but the smores brownie and Oreo truffle cookie have to be my two favorites. The draft latte is also the best coffee beverage I’ve ever tasted, not exaggerating. Everyone must try this bakery, you will fall in love! Plus Cris, the owner, has the most beautiful and genuine soul, so you can’t help but want to support her small business and her team! These pics date 2021-2024!

We ordered a strawberry shortcake for a birthday celebration, and it was absolutely delicious! This was our first time trying this bakery, and we were so impressed — not just with the generous size of the cake, but also with its perfect texture. The cake was thick but moist, and flavorful, and the strawberry filling and topping was not overly sweet. It’s really nice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of warm tea. We’ve had our share of disappointing cakes in the past, from well known bakeries in CLT (I never out the bad, just praise the good) but this one truly stood out. We’re so glad we gave this bakery a try — it’s definitely our new go-to for special occasions. I’m also looking forward to trying their other baked goods — I’ve heard great things about their cookies!

Our wedding cake was absolute perfection thanks to their incredibly talented team! Every flavor was rich, moist, and perfectly balanced—no dry or overly sweet cake here. We went with a simple heart shaped cake. Not only did it taste amazing, but the cake was also stunning to look at. It was elegant, beautifully detailed, and matched our wedding aesthetic to a tee. If you want a wedding cake that truly wows in both taste and design, look no further. Our cake was a highlight of the night, and we’re still dreaming about it weeks later. Absolute 10/10!

Great little find while visiting for the day. Staff were friendly and guided me through the menu. The avocado toast was exceptional with fresh and curated ingredients. The hot almond milk latte was velvety and smooth. My husband had the cold brew and describe it as “good”. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. If I lived in the area I would be a repeat customer. Overall, recommend!

These cookies are very good. My favorite of course is the classic chocolate chip. I also tried the oreo cookie that has white chocolate chips. I tried the pumping chocolate chip brownie cookie as well. Must try. Customer service is excellent! It's a cute little place that's very pleasant to visit.

There are many styles and preferences when it comes to baked goods, but the Batch House is the place to go when you desire perfection. They do not offer 50 selections, but every element of every offering has been noticeably toiled over until faultless. You can purchase 15 different sweet treats all baked exactly how each should be, with fun flavor combos that are distinct and harmonious. If you have eaten at multiple other "unnamed cookie places" and always feel meh because you like the idea of the flavor combos but the execution is always horrible, you will fall in love with Batch House. Selections start at $3+ but I labeled $10-$20 per person because I cannot fathom how anyone leaves here spending less. P.S. I think the strawberry pistachio cookie got me pregnant.

I recently had an exceptional experience with The Batch House. I ordered a sheet cake for a baby shower and sent a photo inspiration. The cake was absolutely gorgeous, even better than the photo I sent, and it was delicious with a fabulous dulce de leche filling. People asked me all afternoon where the incredible cake was from. Additionally, the cake was very fairly priced. I will definitely be using The Batch House for all my future dessert needs. Thank you!!

Verdant Bread is an exceptional bakery that specializes in delectable bread made with sourdough. If you have a fondness for sourdough or simply enjoy good-quality bread, this place should be at the top of your list. Their country loaf, pictured first, is truly outstanding. It surpasses all expectations and has become the favorite bread bakery in Charlotte without a doubt.
Pictured first is the country loaf. Verdant Bread is better than I could have imagined. They are my favorite bread bakery in Charlotte hands down. Pictured second is the gluten free loaf, $15. Doughy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Very heavy, probably weighs 5 pounds! I was worries about it being so dense but the taste is great. Best gluten free bread I have ever had!

Popped in for some fresh bread, I was with my 19-year-old. He's never had a French bag yet. Fresh before. Oh my God. This bread was so fresh and so warm. I could feel it through the bag. The gentleman at the counter was extremely nice. We had a conversation about baguette and needless to say I live in Denver and I will drive here at least every two weeks to get my bread. It was that amazing.

Great sourdough! It has a great tang. The bakery takes orders at the door. You can see all of the work these fabulous bakers do. There is no sit down area. They also have a slicer if you like the loaf pre-sliced. I also really enjoy the english muffins and brioche dinner rolls.

A trip from Colorado to North Carolina had me looking for bakeries to visit. I had a list and Verdant was on it, glad it was! I got a baguette at about 9am and it was perfectly warm and ready to enjoy. Walked over to common market bought some hummus and tore into it. Just wish I had time to enjoy more of their bread, can't wait to visit again. Thanks for the bakery suggestions in Asheville, ended up buying "Southern Ground" bread/flour book.

So... We love sourdough bread. We're new to Charlotte but couldn't find any good, wholesome stuff in the grocery stores. Then we found Verdant! Stopped by and got a loaf and English muffins and they were ridiculously delicious! I'm now on a $30/month subscription for one fresh made loaf a week. That's a great deal altho 1 loaf might not be enough :)

I have been getting bread at Verdant for the past year and it’s excellent! The best baguette in Charlotte (I grew up in France and have tried a few … :-)) … I just bought a fougasse bread today and it’s outstanding! My wife said it was the best bread she’d ever had! Do yourself a favor and take the detour to pick some up. Plus the owners are super nice folks and take the time to chat with you if you are interested in bread. I’ve been trying to get some CLT restaurants to up their bread game by sourcing their bread from Verdant … spread the word.

Luna was amazing to work with! All of the samples we tried were so good it was hard to narrow down flavors! We ended up doing a small cutting cake, cake pops, and macaroons. So many of our guests commented on how great all of the desserts were. Luna was so nice and helpful, she asked for a swatch of our wedding colors and matched it to icing and the macaroons! Which was such a great personal touch. I would highly recommend her for you wedding or any event!! I am looking forward to working with her again for future gatherings!

What an amazing bakery! Great customer service and most importantly, the cake was unbelievable. I gave them a picture of the design I wanted and it actually looked better! I ordered red velvet with cream cheese filled layers and it was so moist and delicious- buttercream wasn't overly sweet either. Thank you all so much for the cutest and super delicious cake for my boy's birthday 😊

Awesome local bakery. have gotten some cupcakes from here occasionally and have always been happy with them! My personal favorites are the Red Velvet cupcakes. A lot of the time bakery's make their frosting waaay to sweet. Tizzerts makes theirs sweet, but not overbearing, which i love because then you can actually taste the cake part of the cupcake. 10/10!

We needed a cake for a special occasion. Could not get what we wanted at Dean and Deluca, our usual choice for cake. We had heard of Tizzerts. Ordered a vanilla raspberry cake several days ahead. The location of the bakery is in a humble office park. Upon arriving, the staff were extremely attentive that the cake be carried and placed in the car without mishap. Their pride in their cakes was noted and deserved. Presentation was fantastic. Best cake we have had in years. Not too sweet yet moist with delicious taste. Highly, highly recommend!

I had the Carrot pecan cupcake which was overall pretty good. The icing is unique because it was a whipped cream cheese icing which was very good, but the cupcake was a little dry. I also has a salted caramel cupcake with a whipped buttercream icing drizzles with caramel....which was mediocre. That cupcake was really dry and lacked flavor. If the rating was 1-10...I'd give their cupcakes a 5 for being average.

Entire order was wrong! Ordered 3 weeks in advance. Forced to pay order in full ($75) when I ordered. Picked up order...Cake was the wrong color (purple) and I was told I did not specify a certain color when I ordered (I asked for green). Writing on the cake was horrible, sloppy and looked as for a 5 year old wrote it. Top of the cake had smears on it as if someone was trying to fix a mistake. I was horrified when I saw the cake. I had to forward them an email proving I requested a green cake. Yes I received a refund but my best friend had no cake for her birthday.

5 stars for design and flavor. Cake turned out amazing, it was honestly sad to start cutting it was too pretty. We went for vegan option and maybe we should not do it, cream was too sweet and thick, also we paid extra for raspberry filling and unfortunately there wasn’t much of it between layers but plenty of cream. Otherwise we enjoyed it and highly recommend you to use this bakery for special occasions.

My wife and I wanted to get a cake for our daughter’s 1st birthday. As such, we reached out to Sweet Boutique Bakery. Debbie was very responsive and worked with us in designing a cake that matched the theme of the birthday. Not only did the design come out beautiful, the cake was one of the best, if not the best, cake that I have ever had. Our birthday guests could not stop talking about how good the cake was. Moreover, a couple family members came over the day after the birthday party to have another slice because the cake was that good. Our only regret is that we did not order a larger size because my wife and I only got to eat one slice of cake each. We certainly will be returning customers of Sweet Boutique Bakery.

This baker is the most amazing experience I've ever had. I had a baby shower for my daughter last weekend and had to fire the last baker for overcharging for a small cake and not giving me what I asked for. I called Nicolle on short notice to tell her my dilemma not knowing who she was. Only hanging on prayer and faith. She was professional, available, affordable, she so nice and she had a variety of cakes. Not to mention she was closing and gave me her time. She delivered the cake and it was more than I expected. It was delicious and gone. The guest loved it. If you need a beautiful cake, this is the bakery for you. The only thing I didn't like was, I forgot to get her business cards!!

Nichole was completely unprofessional. Not what I was expecting at all. The cakes on her website must be photos she took from Pinterest or from someone else who designed it. Or if she did do those cakes she surely didn't design my cake and was behind on orders and had someone else design mines. Either way it's a scam because I paid for my cake to be professional and beautiful like the cakes on her site. Plus my cake was defective it litterly completely fell apart within 3 hours of picking it up, (I have photos & a time stamp) even tho I took it straight home and set it on the table and the A/C was on. It was freezing cold. Cakes are meant to be able set out as a center piece durning the length of a party. So beware of getting a cake done by her because when she messes up you won't even get an apology.

By the grace of God we found nicoll’s bakery and called 10 minutes before she was set to close. Within that 10 minutes we were able to pick out the cake we wanted, get quoted a great price, and get everything confirmed 3 days before the shower.

I cannot recommend Haines enough - her work is absolutely incredible! Not only are the cakes delicious (we did several tastings and found that other bakeries did not compare!), but Haines was also a joy to work with throughout the design process. As a type-A bride, I had TONS of ideas for our surprise groom's cake and wedding cake. I actually sent Haines a PDF with inspiration, and she was all about it. She took my inspiration and created incredible sketches that really brought the cakes to life. During our wedding weekend, everyone was absolutely blown away by what Haines made. She created a replica of my husband's record player as the groom's cake - none of our guests could believe it was cake, and it was the talk of our Rehearsal Dinner! For the wedding cake, she made the most stunning sugar flowers I've ever seen, which we now keep under a display case in our home. Haines truly is the best and I cannot recommend working with her enough!

I loved working with her and her execution was everything I imagined. I love the set up and the details on my wedding day.

Cheesecake Carousel Dessert Mobile Corner of Trade & Tryon Street is a family-owned bakery known for its delicious and diverse range of cheesecakes. They offer an assortment of flavors including strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, lemon, key lime, peach cobbler, and pumpkin pie. The business also serves quick bites like cookies and bars. Customers have praised the friendly service and the quality of the desserts.
Today, I visited Cheesecake Carousel twice — once after lunch and again after dinner. Both times were incredible! I had the strawberry mini cheesecake, which was hands down the best I've ever tasted. My wife opted for the blueberry topping on hers, and she loved it just as much. The balance of creamy cheesecake with the fresh, sweet toppings made for a perfect dessert. If you're a cheesecake fan, I highly recommend stopping by this spot in Charlotte. You won’t be disappointed!

I ordered the half dozen assorted and got 3 flavors. Im pretty sure I didn't miss any small print but if I did apologize. I was a little upset about that. It said most popular flavors. We had red velvet, strawberry and we believe snicker noodle. That was my fav. We also had the key lime bar. It was really good. I would try here again!

Catching up on reviews. I finally made it here on Saturday, 05-28-22. Needed some cheering up after a funeral, & cheesecake tastes better when I'm not making it. The guy working the truck was pleasant & answered all of my questions. He also mentioned his wife though she wasn't there. I tried the key lime bar & the mini cheesecakes. I had the strawberry, banana pudding, & oreo flavors. I'm overdue for a return visit. I'm definitely trying the ice cream. A Black owned business I enjoyed supporting.

Got a cake for my sister’s baby shower and it was amazing. Do not let the reviews steer you away from this place because I did not have the same experience. It was decorated beautifully and tasted great. It was not dry like some of the reviews claim. I will order again for any other event I may have. They also accommodated my last minute requests.

The artwork on the cakes is fantastic! I bought a Peppa Pig cake, and as you can see in the pictures, it looks amazing. The taste is the only thing keeping this review from five stars. I paid around $120 for the cake, and the taste was average. I have had better-tasting cakes at Publix for a fraction of the cost. You are paying for the artwork. Again, the artwork is top-notch!

Purchased a cake slice today for the second time this year. I have gone to the shop on several occasions throughout the years. The last two times, something seems different about the actual taste and texture of the cake. In my opinion, it used to be more flavorful and taste more homemade. Now, it taste a little box made to me. The icing is still good. I tried maple and the regular buttercream. I didn't love the maple though. Ive also had chocolate icing earlier this year and it was really good. The staff are always really nice.

My “surprise” birthday cake was picked up by a friend and the shop had it in an open box that couldn’t close and the only solution was to place a piece of aluminum foil with tape. How does a custom cake shop not have a range of boxes to accommodate orders??? I also didn’t like the pickup window was after 3pm but they close at 4pm. The artwork of the cake is perfectly done as you can see in the pic. My little raccoon and fox are totes adorbz (as the kids say) but the cake itself just could not live up to the task. It was quite dry and very little taste. I expected a moist and rich cake but also, no. I had my one slice and the rest of the cake went into the trash.

Poor customer service experience - dour employee with little personality - then a stale waffle cone which I told her about and asked for a cup - no offer of apology and handed a cup to fix it myself - ordered a medium in a waffle cone - got a very small amount of ice cream and the same amount as the small my friend got - when my friend inquired we were told there was no medium so she just gave me a small. $18 for two smalls that were tiny tiny. I'll never go there again and will have second thoughts about ben and jerry's going forward.

Craft Cakes CLT is a local bakery in Charlotte that embodies the farm-to-table ethos by using locally sourced ingredients to create scratch-made cakes. They have strong relationships with local farmers and producers, ensuring the use of the best quality components. The company focuses on customer satisfaction and offers unique flavor pairings, thanks to collaborations with culinary chefs. Brigitte, the talented baker behind Craft Cakes CLT, is known for her experimental recipes and artistic cake decorations.
Craft Cakes CLT did again! Quality, Attention to Detail, Timeliness, and Taste! Customer Service beyond reproach. I needed a birthday cake at the last minute, and Brigitte (owner) came through for me! They’re usually closed on Mondays, but she went above and beyond. Brigitte helped me with the details and answered every question I had. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Cake with Madagascar Vanilla Filling for the first tier and Dark Chocolate Cake with Blueberry Filling for the second tier. I love the beautiful art. Unfortunately, I was not in attendance to enjoy the cake; however, there were many compliments about how beautiful and delicious it was. Thank you so much for stuffing my friends with this delightful decadent cake. I will order again. I highly recommend this bakery.

She gave me a briefer on her shop and a nice little tour of her production kitchen. It’s amazing to think that such creativity comes out of such a small space!

I ordered my boyfriend's birthday cake from Craft Cakes and we love it! The cake flavor is Tahitian vanilla with Madagascar vanilla cream filing.

Morgan J — Google review
We "eat" with our eyes first. Brigitte's service was really kind, and I feel conflicted about writing a bad review because of it, but the cost of this cake was painfully high and the photos on the website are not at all representative of what we received. I ordered a 6 inch semi-iced cake for my brother and his partner as a gift. After seeing the beautiful website, portfolio on IG, and the tag line "Cake is Food. Food is Art" I felt comfortable telling the bakery to have creative liberty when prompted for any style requests. What we received was a cake with piping writing on top. I'm not hating on piping letters on amateur cakes, or even on grocery store cakes, Ben & Jerry's, or any cake that costs $50 or less, but this is a 6 inch cake that cost $100 overall and it looks like it came from the grocery store or like I wrote the message myself. I reluctantly emailed my complaint to Brigitte to ask what happened (maybe another employee got too happy with the piping pen? This did not look like Brigitte's work, according to her portfolio). Brigitte offered me discounted add-ons for my *next* cake order... But the problem is: I don't have confidence that the next one will be any better. And $100 is the cost without add ons (including delivery). I'm just not comfortable spending $100 again for a 6 inch cake that's just like any other bakery's. The draw of Craft Cake CLT is Brigitte's lovely aesthetic and I'm sure she is incredibly talented based on her portfolio... But this order hugely disappointed. *EDIT: this review was written after the 'personal reply' Brigitte refers to in her Google Maps response. She is actually still referencing her offer for a discount on my *next* $100 order. She has not attempted to reach out since.

Very cute small business. I was at Philly Corner next door when I saw this cookie place nearby and got some cookies for dessert.

I wanted to like this place so bad because it’s near my job and I have a mean sweet tooth. Unfortunately, this is not an option. The menu is extensive, however, when I arrived there weren’t a lot of options. I planned to take samples to my employees. (They closed in an hour). I opted for the sweet potato cheesecake. All the cakes looked less than appealing but I reluctantly opted for the strawberry cake. OH MY GOD. it was so dry! I’m so Upset with myself for not using better judgement. It tasted like it was made days ago. The cheesecake was okay but also nothing I’d opt for again. The person there was really nice but did not seem too familiar with the menu or the options they had available.

We both got the shrimp and grits, personally I found them to be too salty and oily for my taste.

The food was really good, but the restaurant itself as a business is bizarrely run. We waited for an hour for a biscuit, some fries, and two entrees at 11am on a Sunday. We had two little kids with us and a hour wait from ordering to serving is just too much for the kids. The place was busy but it wasn’t like people were lining up down the block busy, just usual NODA on the weekend busy. It’s also so strange to me that they don’t give you any number to put on your table, so the waitresses are holding the food running from the restaurant to the front around the building to the back dining area calling your name. There were times they would walk back and forth with the same plate of food for a few times because people weren’t paying attention. I feel so bad for them. And it’s such an easy problem to solve. The food was delicious and my savory bowl was such a creative take on oats. But was it 65 minute worth of deliciousness? Definitely not. There are plenty restaurants with great food in the area that have a much more reasonable wait time.

Food was pretty mediocre. Long line that took awhile to order. Not sure why they don’t have a number system of some sort. It’s counter service but then no way to track where the food is going so the servers are just walking around yelling names through the crowded space. My food came first which was the Spanish omelette. It was fine but I also ordered toast and my husband got a breakfast sandwich. We decided to split both because we were hungry. We were done with the omelette before we even saw the toast or BEC about 15 minutes later. The toast had no butter or jam or anything. I feel like they should try to keep tickets together so people can eat together! I’ve worked in a restaurant my whole life so I feel for them - the kitchen guys looked extremely stressed as did the food runners. I can only assume they’re short staffed or lots of new people are being trained? I think if this place could get some things streamlined and organized it could be way better but right now it’s just a bit of a mess. Best thing we got was the pumpkin chocolate muffin - delicious!

You are going to be happy with any flavor combo you get, they were all delicious! Aryn really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted with the design. She was really invested in making it look just right for me and the results were stunning. Even other vendors were commenting that it was one of the most beautiful cakes they’d ever seen. All my guests also commented on how tasty it was and it was just crumbs by the end of the night! I kept the beautiful sugar flowers that she made and they are on display in my house as a beautiful reminder of our big day. Go with Aryn, you won't regret it!

I tried a Delish cake at an event recently and oh my goodness! Each layer was a different flavor: lemon, tiramisu and vanilla-raspberry. All of them were fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but the tiramisu cake was my favorite — I am still dreaming about it and had to come here and leave a review!

We choose Delish Cakery for our wedding cake and we were SO impressed by the entire experience. From the very beginning, Aryn made this experience extra sweet for us. At our private cake tasting in her bakery, we were able to sample all her cake flavors and pair them with a variety of her delicious buttercreams and original fillings. Her tasting room is just stunning and the walls are decorated with photos of some of her favorite cake creations. We loved trying all the cake flavors - they were all so fresh and yummy… the challenge was picking just one combination- so we picked two! For our top and bottom layers we choose spice cake with a toasted almond crisp buttercream filling. For our middle layer, we choose chocolate with a hazelnut buttercream filling. We felt this combo was perfect for our fall wedding. For our wedding cake, we choose three tiers all iced in smooth white buttercream and Aryn helped us with a custom design! She helped us bring our vision to life right in front of us by pulling up a virtual image of what our cake could look like. At the base of our cake, she featured Garden of the Gods in layered marble wrap in sage green tones with gold detailing on the edges of each “mountain range.” We choose that feature because it was special to our story. We knew we wanted to incorporate the Colorado mountains into our wedding somehow and this was the perfect way! For the finishing touch, Delish Cakery arranged fresh flowers from our florist to keep cohesion with the reception design. She also makes beautiful sugar flowers, but I wanted to utilize real flowers, personal preference! When I laid eyes on our cake ON our wedding day, it was more stunning than I could have imagined! For us, it was our perfect wedding cake. At our tasting, Aryn left us with this PRO TIP - "save a slice of your leftover wedding cake for breakfast the day after your wedding." We devoured ours in the airport on the way to our honeymoon! It paired perfectly with our coffee!

New York Pastries & Pasteleria, owned by Martin Rojas, brings the essence of a Greek bakery from Brooklyn to Charlotte. The shelves are filled with spiced walnut cookies, powdered sugar cookies, and the beloved Greek dessert baklava. Customers have praised the delicious Black Forest, Orea, and Chocolate Almond pastries as well as Mexican bread for breakfast.
This bakery smells like heaven on earth! In this day and age, their prices are amazing for handmade, quality pastries. I highly recommend the cheese cake and the conchas.

Tried two desserts, both lacked flavor. I agree with some other reviewers stating that something is missing. I’m willing to bet it’s salt, fat, sugar or all three missing. Seemed dry and one dimensional.
Chad S — Google review
First visit here and sorry to say last. First, the good news: the Chocolate Almond cake was pretty tasty and I liked it. The Tres Leches was dry and really tasteless. The Whipped Cream was bland, Carmel just bad and the cake lacked sugar. The variety looked good and stocked full with pastry. Things may sit which may be the problem. Less is more and fresh means so much. Can be worked on and improved by the baker. Prices are not low and you expect more quality. $$$

I got couple of cookies and pastries from here. I can say everything was good, but the Tiramisu I think something was missing. We got a Black Forest, Orea, & Chocolate Almond they were delicious. We also got some Mexican bread we will be eating it for breakfast. Hope they are as good as all the things I got from there. I will definitely go back again.

The desserts are beautiful but they lack in flavor. Items that usually have custard in them have tasteless whipped cream. So disappointed. I got carrot cake that was dry and the icing definitely not cream cheese, tiramisu had that whipped cream and so did the napoleon. Didn’t try any cookies.

Chez Marie Pâtisserie, located in a SouthPark strip mall, offers an exquisite selection of desserts that are sure to impress. The chic bistro seating and the delectable tarts, eclairs, and entremets make for a delightful experience. One of their standout offerings is the Mont Blanc entremet, featuring a gluten-free chestnut mousse that's both airy and decadent.
First time. Run. Don't walk. Very special little shop. Very elegant and high quality with charming staff. Price is reasonable for quality. Enjoyed the Chez Marie sandwich and it was great. Fresh bread. Small'ish, and yet, perfect size. Coffee is good, not great. I always order to start with a go-to so I can discern the taste. Desserts are beautiful and perfect. First time I've ever seen a Paris Breast anywhere as a standard item. Usually requires a special order. Ambiance is truly lovely. They also offer tea time, so that's on my list. Will definitely come again! Thank

Beautiful, charming and simply delightful cafe w/ amazing authentic French desserts! Every bite was pure bliss! Drinks were strong and delicious as well. Loved the gold accents on the decor and cutlery. The space is kept very clean and tidy as staff was actively seen cleaning each table and seat as guests departed.

Absolutely loved this coffee shop and bakery! The place is small but super cozy and beautifully designed — every detail looks perfect. The desserts were insanely good, and the coffee (we tried the blue matcha) was amazing too. The tables are a bit tiny — we barely fit our drinks and desserts — but honestly, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Such a lovely spot, I’d totally come back again! ☕💙🍰

This is a lovely bakery! It’s so bright and clean and welcoming. The pastries are very good. Sometimes you see something and you think, oh, it’ll be ok and it is. This was not one of those times! I chose a ham and cheese croissant. It was not the biggest or showiest pastry, but it was delicious. (Going to show me not to judge a book by its cover!) I took it to go, but it was so cute inside, it looked like a nice place to meet a friend or to work for a little bit.

We reserved a "tea time". It came with our choice of tea(very tasty) served with milk or honey. Desserts (Madeleines, macaroons...)all yummy, and small hand sandwiches(egg salad, prosciutto, and cheese). The dressing/jam on the prosciutto and cheese sandwiches were a bit sweet. The egg sandwich surprisingly was seasoned nicely. The cashier brought over our food, explained each item, unfortunately that was the last of our interaction until we requested boxes for the last of the food.

This place has such neat little pastries, I can’t believe it’s local. I tried the chocolate coffee pie and the other fancy chocolate pastry with the chocolate ring—both were decadent. The server was super friendly. We went for the first time about an hour before close and only a few types of pastries remained, so I definitely recommend going earlier in the day for the best selection (pictured, from our second visit).

Wonderful atmosphere, feels like you’re in Europe. Staff were very friendly and greeted us and if we had any questions on the menu. Started off with the Blue chai latte which was absolutely delicious, not too overpowering, just right. The deserts were top tier treats. The Coconut mojito is packed with coconut and lime flavors. Very moist cake inside with a coconut moose jello like outer ring, topped with white chocolate. The Passion fruit cheesecake has a soft cheesecake texture with a big passion fruit flavor. The Quiche Loraine had smoky ham pieces inside alongside a delicious gooey cheese. The only thing I would change is the crust because it was a bit too thick. The Le Picque-Nique had all fresh ingredients. A Crunchy toasted baguette with smoked ham and beautifully blended toppings. Doesn’t get any fresher than that. Overall, Perfect spot for couples and a girls brunch or lunch. Definitely check them out!!!

This is truly a slice of Paris tucked away in Charlotte! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest smiles and the most inviting, cozy atmosphere. It feels like a little escape! I was so impressed that I decided to place a special order for my bridal shower, and I’m so glad I did. Look at the photo attached! The assortment of pastries we received was beyond stunning, delicate, delicious, and absolutely beautiful. My girlfriends were astonished! Maria and her team are so kind and passionate about what they do. You can tell how much love they put into every detail!! This place is more than a bakery — it’s an experience. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just stopping by for a coffee and croissant, Chez Marie is worth every visit. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in Charlotte!

Amélie's Uptown is a charming French-inspired bakery and cafe located in Charlotte's Uptown district. The cozy atmosphere and decor transport visitors to Paris, with an imitation of the Love Lock Bridge adding to the ambiance. This fast-casual bakery offers a delectable selection of pastries, light fare, and coffee drinks. With locations across Charlotte and other states, patrons can enjoy treats like salted caramel brownies, turkey sandwiches, and ice cream sandwich macaroons.
We loved this French Bakery while we visited Charlotte. It's is a casual service style restaurant where you order your treats at a counter and then pick up your order at a window, but it has all the comforts of a dine in restaurants; there is no table service. It has a beautiful interior with wonderful artworks and designs all over the restaurant. It gave it such a relaxing atmosphere. We only went for the delicious pastry and tried the quiche. They did not disappoint and the prices were so reasonable. Highly recommend it if you are in Charlotte for a stop as it is convenient to the Charlotte Convention Center and the Uptown area. They serve French style breakfast and sandwiches as well. Maybe when we are back in town we will be able to try the other items on the menu.

Great prices for the two items I got! Staff was very friendly and the wait time was low, which made the experience even better. The inside atmosphere is cozy and welcoming—perfect spot to stop by any time of day, and I love that they open early. Convenient location too. I ordered the almond croissant with a coffee (about $10 total). The coffee had a nice flavor - not bland at all. The almond croissant was a good size with a sweet breading that’s a little different from others I’ve tried - would prefer regular croissant breading. Overall, I’d come back if I was in the area again 😊

We were just passing through Charlotte on a regular Monday morning, looking for a simple breakfast — nothing fancy. But this place turned our Monday into a little weekend getaway! At first, we were drawn in by the beautiful design and cozy atmosphere, but what really surprised us was how delicious the food was — and most of all, the incredible service. Every single person on the team was so attentive, from the folks at the counter to the kitchen staff who made sure everything was just right. You could genuinely feel the care and attention to detail in every part of the experience. We left with big smiles and full hearts. Highly recommend this gem!

She gave me so much helpful info I didn’t even know! Also, a big thanks to the guy at checkout who told me to have a great day on my way out. Little things like that make Publix feel like home.

This Publix iis my neighborhood location and I enjoy coming here. They are always well stocked, clean and friendly. I would like to highlight employees during visit today. James (meat dept) and David (manager). I took a late lunch to come shop for dinner supplies and as I was contemplating on that to make James had already greeted a customer in front of me, he then asked me if I needed any help and suggested some cuts of meat for dinner. That was helpful and as I grab what I need he was quickly stocking the meats and greeted/offered assistance to anyone that was in his department, leaving him with smiles and gratitude. As I was checking out waiting in another line, David greeted me to have me come to another lane that was freed up. He helped me unload my groceries on the belt and had a small convoy with me as I waited my turn to be scanned. He even offered to take my groceries out. Even though I didn't need help this time, it was nice that he offered. These two gentlemen really made my experience today. They showed the kind that I appreciate from my neighborhood market. Thank you David and James!

Last night, I decided to get a sub for the first time at Publix on S. Blvd. I shop there often and my son worked in the Deli Department briefly over the summer. I had the pleasure of having a young lady by the name of Blossom fix my sandwich. She was very courteous and patient with me, being my first time and not feeling well just having surgery a couple of days prior. I will never forget her kindness. Need more attentive, respectful young men and women like her in the world. Thank you so much Ms. Blossom in the Deli Department!!!! (S.N....THAT SUB WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!)

Slight caution for wedding cake orders (specifically heart shape requests) - although delicious the heart shape was off, it was oddly long? and they didn't even center the writing. The piping was well done though. It was a cutting cake at our wedding for just the two of us.

Outstanding customer service & she went above and beyond for us. Will definitely be coming to this location more often. So many other stores closer to us but this Publix is worth the longer drive from our home.

I shop at this Publix location weekly and consistently have a great experience. The customer service is always excellent, and the shelves are usually well-stocked whenever items are available. The store is clean, including the bathrooms, which are well-maintained most of the time. Checkout is also a breeze — the lines move quickly and efficiently. The only area I believe could use some improvement is the deli and hot food section. It’s always busy, and the process for ordering can feel a bit chaotic. Implementing a better system — such as a clear line with signage or a ticket number system — might help both customers and staff feel less overwhelmed. Despite that, this location continues to be my go-to, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in the area!

What a lovely bakery! My family and I visited when we were looking for something sweet that was in close proximity to our hotel. We got a caramel apple pie, slice of cloud cake, strawberry cream cake and a strawberry croissant. Everything was delicious and baked to perfection. I usually avoid sweet desserts and pastries because of the intense amount of sugar but these had the right amount of sweetness for me. I can see why the strawberry croissant was labeled as one of the staff's favorite. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I’ll start off with the coffee is amazing! I ordered the 20oz iced caramel macchiato. I love matcha and they had a few different matcha options that I’d love to try in the future. I also ordered the spinach & cheese danish. They serve it warm and it tastes very good but it’s kind of small in comparison to other spinach danishes that I’ve had, and it costs more. I also ordered a lemon macaron. Pretty large for a macaron! I love the texture but it was too tart. Not a huge fan of the flavor but I’m sure the other macarons are good. And they have a large variety to include pistachio, red velvet, and earl grey. Parking is very difficult. I drove around multiple times and to even park in their lot is hard because it is so tiny. And I paid $17 for a coffee, danish, and macaron which really should’ve been a few dollars less.

French-Asian Bakery Heaven! 🥐✨ Okay wow — this place totally blew us away. It’s like a dream combo of French and Asian flavors, and we wanted to try everything on the menu. 📍 The Place: Super cute and clean, very aesthetic with all the white tones. There’s a cozy spot by the windows that’s perfect if you’re flying solo with a coffee, plus a second floor if it gets busy. Pro tip: maybe avoid sitting in a spot near the microwave — not the best seat in the house. 🍰 The Goods: We tried like 7 different things because... why not? Blueberry Cloud Cake: SO good. Light, fresh, fluffy, not too sweet, and honestly just gorgeous to look at. Pink Bread (not the real name, but you’ll know it when you see it): I loved this one — the filling was super soft and just hit the spot. Also tried: Mango Donut: filled with mango cream — yum. Sweet Frank Roll: a fun little bun with sausage inside — Good! Croque Monsieur: cheesy, warm, and super satisfying. That cheese sauce was chef’s kiss. Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread: decent, but probably my least favorite of the bunch. 👀 The Service: Really friendly and quick! We got our order fast, and everyone was super nice. 🚗 Parking: there is not parking lot, so you’ll need to find street parking or a nearby lot. Would totally go back.

Today I bought 2 almond croissants and a couple of other items. Firstly, the other items I purchased were just fine. They needed to be heated up anyway so I have no complaints. But can I tell you that the almond croissants tasted very much about 2 days old!!! I’ve had day-old bread that was much fresher. These things were NOT fresh and I am super unhappy about it. This place is super cute, with great customer service…but the dry hard pastry should not be a thing. Especially at the price point these items are being sold at. So please do not respond by saying the pastry was fresh…because if these were fresh then there is an even bigger issue at hand, because they were dry and hard. Like all the buttery moisture had just dissipated. Even the almond filling was dry and brittle. Just utterly choke-worthy. Let’s do better yall! And just to see if you guys do better, I will return and purchase the same items. Just giving you guys a heads up because I want to sing your praises…but I will absolutely tell the truth.

I recently visited Tous les Jours located at 4625 Piedmont Row Dr #105, Charlotte, NC 28210, Here’s my review using my 5-star rating system: cleanliness, service, decor, food, and prices. Cleanliness: The restaurant was clean. I give it 1 ☆ Service: The staff were friendly and helpful. I give it 1 ☆ Decor: I loved the decor it had nice sitting areas, so it looked like it was a cool spot to hang out in or meet up with friends or even a small group. The ambiance depends on what customers are there. If you have customers that are going to bring their noisy and rowdy, kids that are going to be running around, then you may not want to stay there and hang out and read a book or work on your computer or bring friends there. So it really depends if you're lucky or not. Food: I bought a Portuguese egg tart, which was crispy, buttery, and sweet. The custard was creamy and not too sweet. The chocolate cream hornet was delicious, the chocolate flavor was on point, and the outside was sugary but not as crispy as I expected. I bought a coffee cake, custard bun and another pastries I haven't tried. I also got a tiramisu latte 😋 So far, what I've tried was delicious. I give it 1☆ Prices: The bill was $23. Prices were expensive, I give it 0 ☆ Final Score: 4 ☆☆☆☆ I would recommend this restaurant to others.

We had a terrible experience with this bakery on July 2nd between 1-4 pm. Our manager was rude and unapologetic. We’ve ordered cakes from here many times and have always had a nice experience. However, this time, they made a huge mistake. They gave us a small cake instead of the large cake we ordered, and they charged us for a medium cake instead of the small cake we received. It’s a 1-hour drive back and forth from our house, and this ruined my daughter’s birthday. The manager refused to admit their mistake and wouldn’t even say their name. We could only reach their extension number, which ended with 0969. We will definitely never buy from this bakery again.

Today, we visited this bakery for the first time, and I must say, I was completely won over by the cleanliness, variety of baked goods, and the cozy atmosphere. On top of that, we absolutely loved the flavors of everything we tried! The Spinach Feta Danish, Sweet Cheese and Blueberry Danish, and the Strawberry Pastry were especially delicious. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, which we appreciated since we’re not fans of overly sugary pastries. The only downside was the lack of high chairs for babies. However, our little one absolutely loved the milk bread, so that made up for it! We’re already looking forward to visiting again and trying more of their treats.

Copain Bakery & Provisions is a go-to spot for artisanal bread, offering a variety of options from sourdough to baguette to caraway and rye. Their freshly baked bread is supplied to some of the city's top restaurants. In addition to their bread selection, they also offer delectable sweet and savory treats like coconut cake and buttermilk pie. The bakery also celebrates events such as National Coffee Day by offering complimentary coffee with any purchase on specific days.
First time at Copain Bakery and I wish we would have found it sooner. Beautiful, quiet indoor garden setting located inside The Pavilion next to Roosters. There is plenty of seating available and is family friendly but I don't think dogs are allowed. Large variety of pastries, quiches, freshly made bread and other baked items plus coffee and espresso drinks. The staff are very helpful and welcoming. Definitely a neighborhood gem that can't be missed.

Delicious cappuccino and friendly, attentive service. I was excited to visit Copain to try one of their butter croissants, it was a bit dry and underwhelming. Also got a chocolate chip cookie to go and it wasn’t fresh at all, ended up throwing it away. I’ve had their cookies before at Bossy Beulah’s when they’ve been fresh and delicious, a stark contrast. Maybe it was an off morning for baked goods. I’ll try again another morning.

Found this place by accident while looking for a lunch spot near Southpark Mall. It's very quaint and had tons of pastries and coffee on the menu. They don't have an extensive lunch menu but their sandwiches and pastries are good. They also have pre-made food that you can buy and bake/re-heat at home which is kinda cool. Although it's a bit pricey nevertheless we enjoyed our first experience at this place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Little Piece of Paris in Charlotte! Copain Bakery & Provisions completely blew me away! I stopped in for a sweet treat and ended up having one of the best pastry experiences I’ve had outside of Europe. The cream puff was airy and delicate, with just the right amount of vanilla filling—light, not overly sweet, and perfectly balanced. The éclair was next-level. Rich, smooth chocolate on top and a silky custard filling that made every bite indulgent without being too heavy. You can tell it’s made with real, quality ingredients and French technique. And the macarons? Perfection. Crisp outer shells with chewy centers and flavorful fillings that actually taste like what they’re supposed to—my favorites was the coffee flavor. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the space itself is elegant yet cozy. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat or sitting down to enjoy a coffee and pastry, Copain is an absolute must for any bakery lover. I’ll definitely be back when in Charlotte!

Super cute French bakery in Southpark, I love the indoor atrium area and the food was really delicious. I wanted to buy everything in the pastry case! The raspberry croissant was REALLY good, as well as the spinach feta quiche and strawberry crunch cookie. My little one love the cinnamon roll.

Daphne's Bakery in Charlotte, NC is a traditional bakeshop that specializes in crafting special-occasion cakes, cookies, pies, and other sweet treats. The bakery prides itself on being one of the few full-service bakeries in the area, offering handcrafted desserts made from scratch with a focus on delivering the warmth and flavor reminiscent of homemade treats. The young and dedicated staff works diligently to present their tasty creations in a creative manner.
I had the pleasure of working with Daphne for my wedding cake and cupcakes. She was extremely patient with me while deciding on the design and was helpful along the way. We requested a gluten free top layer of our cake and boy did it surpass every expectation. I never thought I would be able to have a gluten free wedding cake that tasted this amazing. My wedding was 3 weeks ago and people are still talking about how good the cupcakes were!! Highly recommend for gluten free needs and regular.

Worst experience I have ever had in any establishment since moving to NC. My husband and I had planned to stop by this bakery for some time now and made the trip today. The parking lot was empty as well as the store. When we walked in, there were four women sitting at a table talking. Two with their backs to us and the others facing the door. I stood at the counter waiting for at least one person to offer a hello or how may I help you, but unfortunately nothing. They just kept talking and laughing. I was so freaking angry, but proud of myself for keeping my cool. We walked out when I really wanted to be vocal. Clearly it wouldn't have mattered to them. But I did call them to let them know how rude and unprofessional that was and they just lost a customer. Truly, no stars, but I had to select one in order to post my review.

I can't RAVE about Daphne's enough! My mom was turning 50 on Halloween so even though the celebration was small for now, I still wanted her to feel special for her day. I have never ordered directly from a bakery before, so I went into the online cake request with an open mind and a broad idea. Through email, Daphne and I were able to tackle it like a team and bounce ideas until it was just everything I could ever ask for. Once we finalized on the cake for the Hocus Pocus theme (my mother's favorite halloween movie), I went in on making it the whole theme. All of my decorations became Hocus Pocus and my mom was so surprised that she cried. That was my favorite part. Everyone I spoke to at the shop was so kind and I believe we were all equally excited about this cake! Thank you x a million to Daphne and the team, you all are amazing and the cake was DELICIOUS 🩷

I was in the shop on Friday 9/12 and found the customer service to be non existent. I walked in and found at least 4 woman standing behind the counter working and talking amongst themselves. There was another woman taking an order from a customer and another young lady working on the other side by herself. I looked around fully expecting someone to at least look up and speak to me. I waited a few more minutes and just stood in the middle of the shop and waited.Nothing,not one response from anyone. I have worked as a manager in the retail industry for 21 years and know what excellent customer service looks like. The staff here does not have a clue. These people could not take one second to say hello or even ask if I needed anything. I have driven past this place many times and wondered why I never see any cars in the parking lot or customers coming and going, now I know why. You should consider closing your doors if this is how you do business.

Ordered a cheesecake and apple pie for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Looked beautiful. She loves cheesecake because of the reviews I thought ok this place sounds great. What we got was so far from acceptable on every level. The entire center of the cheesecake was not cooked, it was like pudding. It also had a very strong lemon flavor. We didn’t order a lemon cheesecake. They did give the $72.00 refund for the cheesecake. However, I don’t understand how this could’ve happened when you are supposed to check to see if it’s done and there’s no way that happened concerning how undercooked it was, you’ll see by the photos. The response was “yes they had an extra one for slicing and they saw that it was undercooked and that there was too much lemon added and didn’t know what happen but we’re sorry”. If they knew why didn’t they reach out to me before that evening celebration and try to do something to at the very least have a cooked cake of some sort for the birthday celebration. Also, why not offer her a new cake just because. Very unhappy. TOTAL refund was for the Cheesecake only in the amount of $72.93.

The display was very nice it caught my attention, the I talked with the owner and she told me all about her business. She is more than a cupcake maker, she is a dessert designer. Her cupcakes come in many flavors, I purchased eight of them to try out. They all were amazing but my two favorite were the butter pecan and banana pudding. You can find her on Facebook and her website. Don't take my work for how good they are try them for yourself. She make cakes and other desserts also.

LOVE Haley and Wheatberry! Such a wonderful addition to the Charlotte pastry scene. Always receive service with a smile, and she is a genius in the kitchen with fun, creative options. Pictured here is the Lemon Meringue Croissant--topped with a delightfully whipped marshmallow/meringue and filled with a delectably sweet and tangy lemon curd. The treats are hefty in size as well, so the price is worth the craftsmanship. Highly recommend!

Nice bakery right in Charlotte. They had a small selection of baked goods croissant style but really good. We got a fig bar, morning bun and another croissant filled with tomatoes.

I happened upon this darling bakery by accident and I was so glad I did! This bakery is unique and so incredibly delicious. Each baked good is gourmet and not typical. I would call this bakery an artisan bakery and the baker, a brilliant artist! It rivals European shops! I couldn't decide what to get, so I got four things. The classic chocolate chip cookie that melted in my mouth. A sweet potato maple glazed scone that was not dry, just the best flavor, a butternut masala scone that I enjoyed eating so much, I wish I had another one. The flavor was so unique and melted in my mouth. It was not dry, it was perfect and had mild spices that were so good. And lastly, an apple chai bun topped with a dried apple slice. There were so many more I wish I could have purchased! They make their own cream cheese to put into their everything danish. People, don't walk, RUN to this bakery in the south end of Charlotte. They also have a "bites" (I think that's what they called it) special for $5 where you can get two surprise baked goods in a box. I wish I had this bakery in California where I live. I would go daily!!!

You may find yourself momentarily alone, but don't worry, the staff aren't playing hide and seek. They're just whipping up the next batch of heavenly goodness in the back. Feast your eyes on the display case, a treasure trove of confectionery delights. And if you've been wondering where to find the best French macrons in Charlotte, your quest ends here. Each macaroni is a crunchy-soft, flavor-packed miracle - they could probably bring a smile to a statue. As for the white chocolate snickerdoodles, let's just say they've taken 'delicious' to a whole new stratosphere. Every visit to Kori's Kakes is like a mini-party, complete with cake shavings served in cute little containers. These morsels are so moist and flavorful, you'd be tempted to use 'em as confetti. And if you're lucky, you might catch Kori herself. Even after a long day, she's as cheerful as a macron is sweet - which is a lot. So, macron lovers, cake connoisseurs, and seekers of all things sweet - this is your new paradise. Just remember, if you're on a diet, this place might make you believe in cheat days!

People were licking their plates to not waste a drop! Not only were our desserts delicious, but Ivette created a beautiful display that fit the theme and decor of our wedding. It was one of the most memorable parts of the evening. Thanks, Ivette!

Absolutely stunning cakes! Suspiro not only provided a beautiful cake for my party, but the taste was out of this world! I've had "professional cakes" before that were dry and flavorless, but Suspiro delivered a DELICIOUS cake at an affordable price! I can't say enough good things about this company and will continue to use them going forward!

I ordered a cake for my daughter’s first birthday. Megan Jayne was able to create the cake in the same design I had in mind. The flavors were awesome. She also delivered the cake on time and the packing was also really professional. There were clear instructions on how to handle the cake cutting. I recommend Megan Jayne for the best and affordable custom cake in Charlotte.

The Cheesecake Factory is an American chain restaurant known for its extensive menu and signature cheesecakes. The portions are generous, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Customers have praised the delicious and fresh food, including items like the Veggie Burger and Vegan Cobb Salad. However, some have noted that certain dishes, such as the meatloaf, were a bit overcooked or dry. Despite this, the appetizers received high praise for being delicious and satisfying.
Jessica G was our server, she was super attentive, answered all of our questions! We were complicated and she kept a great attitude. We got everything she recommended and it was all amazing! The lemon raspberry cheesecake was phenomenal! Great experience as this was my first time here, we will probably be back soon.

This was my 1st time dinning in at a Cheesecake Factory. We had a reservation and ended up having to wait over 30+ minutes for a table, all to find out anything over 6 you can't have reservations. Though we made the reservations 2 days in advance and who ever booked it failed to hear how many we had in our party. SO DISAPPOINTING! This salad was HUGE, and it tasted awesome. The rest of the parties food...not so much. Someone ordered the "Fish and Chips" that came with 3.5 SMALL pieces of fish. They ordered the DINNER portion. When asked how many usually comes with the dinner portion , the manager on duty says 5! We went on a Sunday, around 2:30pm, and they were SUPER busy! Or waiter was truly inundated with guests at one time. It was a very special occasion for my family and I, but I would never go back again, alone or with other guests.

I came here for lunch on Labor Day. Surprisingly it wasn’t too busy and I was able to be seated right away. Overall, the service was good and the order was accurate. It did take a long time to get the food when it was not very busy. I started off with some of the brown bread and as usual, it was great. For today, I wanted something a little lighter so I ordered the lunch chicken piccata. This is a different take on chicken piccata, but I do like it. For dessert I got a slice of the pineapple upside down cheesecake. I have had almost every cheesecake on the menu over the years. This is by far the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. This restaurant is so versatile it can be used for lunches, dinners fancy or just casual. I will definitely be back soon.

Great service and food, but comitted the cardinal sin of eating out and that was another waiter took my food, so I ended up waiting awhile while my family ate. Other than that I'd have given 5 stars.

What on God's earth happened to this place?! Worst service I've ever had. Meal took over an hour to come out. 1 server for 10 tables. And the portions are half of what they once were! I left hungry!!!! EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for their small portions. Will never eat here again. This place is slipping fast.... Used to be a family favorite

We had a horrible experience at this location. My daughter wanted to go there for her 10th birthday. This was her first visit. We got there a little afyer 6pm amd the place was packed. We knew we would have to wait a bit as we were told it would be a 30-35 min wait. After about 40 min I went and checked on our status at the Seating desk. I was then told we had a 40 min wait initially. Long story short, we waited a little over and hour and a half for seating. My daughter has allergies but was fine all day. After sitting there waiting she had started to cough, by the time she got her food she was coughing so bad she had a hard time eating due to the cough. The dust on the window sill beside us was so thick, the bathrooms were nasty, as we were walking to the bathroom there was a metal wet floor sign on the floor in the hallway to the bathroom that was just laying there. My daughter did not see it laying in the floor and tripped over it and hurt her toe. Once in the bathroom, the floors in the stalls were covered in toilet paper on the floors and in one stall someone had knocked over the trash can and there were used pads on the floor. The floors throught the place were slippery like, they had grease on them or something. I ordered the shepherds pie and end up leaving it. It was greasy and looks like they just cut up hamburger patties and grill thwm and use the grease to make the gravy. Cheesecake factory, take that crap off of the menu! My husband said the jambalaya was good and the kids said the spaghetti was good. I ordered the beet and citrus sald it was good as well but that shepherds pie has got to go! Due to the coughing spell my daughter was experiencing to the allergic reaction inside the restaurant we had to just leave . I cant leave a review of the cheesecakes because we ended up not getting any due to it taking so long to get the check and having to get our girl back so that she could take her allergy meds. Worst experience ever!!

First time sitting down to eat here. Made a reservation and was sat within 10 mins of checking in. It was relatively busy, but always is. Took a little time to get our drinks and orders but the food was delicious and Jay was very nice! Thanks for a great experience. The French Dip burger and Shepards Pie were delicious. The cheesecake is always good too. Our favorites are still the Lemon and the Banana cream! We got Tiramisu and Cinnabon this time though and weren’t disappointed.

Very hot Sunday and the ac wasn't working so many ppl fanning themselves and sweating. Service was slow. Finally got something to drink. Waited an hour for my food and I was feeling sick due to the heat. The ladies room was trashed and han no tp. The cheesecake was delicious as usual. Won't be back for a while. There are to many good places to eat in Charlotte to pay for such disappointment. Step it up.

Bakery
Coffee shop
French restaurant
Amélie’s French Bakery & Café at Carmel Commons is a charming spot that attracts a crowd with its delectable pastries, light meals, and coffee drinks. The bakery offers a wide selection of classic desserts like macarons and eclairs, as well as croissant sandwiches. The ambiance is modern and inviting, making it a great place to catch up with friends or get some work done. Visitors can expect fresh and flaky pastries along with not overly sweet macarons.
Walking into this café feels like stepping into a Parisian pâtisserie. The display cases are stunning—rows of colorful macarons, beautifully decorated tarts, and decadent cakes that make it hard to choose just one. Everything looks like it belongs in a magazine spread. We ordered a variety to try: a raspberry layered cheesecake, a rich chocolate slice, and a flaky pastry paired with coffee and a matcha latte. The flavors did not disappoint—the raspberry dessert was refreshing and tangy with just the right amount of sweetness, while the chocolate slice was dense, smooth, and indulgent. The matcha latte was creamy and earthy, a perfect balance to the sweets. The ambiance is cozy yet lively, with a modern French vibe. Staff were friendly and patient while we decided (which took a while with so many tempting choices!). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend if you want authentic French-style pastries, rich flavors, and a treat-yourself kind of experience. Perfect for a morning coffee, an afternoon pick-me-up, or even taking a box of desserts home to impress guests.

Atmosphere was fun and warm. Ordered the yogurt with granola and berries with raspberry ice tea. I enjoyed both! The granola was soft it a hint of cinnamon. I like my tea not too sweet and this one was just right. Pricing was not outrageous for portions or quality. Would recommend!

I stopped here one afternoon for a quick treat. Luckily it wasn’t too busy. I was able to walk in and only had to wait a few minutes to be helped at the counter. The staff were friendly and eager to help. It was still earlier in the day, so there was plenty selection of different pastries to choose from. Today I ended up getting a strawberry cake, fruit tart, and a brownie cheesecake. The tart and mini cheesecake were great. The strawberry cake was good, but it was a bit dry in my opinion. I have been coming into Amelie‘s for over a decade and their recipes have slightly changed overtime. Overall it was a good experience and I will come back. One thing to note is that when Amelie’s was open 15 years ago, there wasn’t as much competition. Now there are many more options for French pastries in Charlotte.

The bakery side the house is great. The food however is not so good, bacon is burnt on both orders, snap and crumble. Coffee is good however didn't come the way I asked, double caramel with no Carmel. Expects 18% tip and you have to get your own stuff, they will bring food to table. The workers are pleasant.

been here 10ish times over the year, vast and best variety, intriguing decor, very loud for studying (bc busy, understandably), macarons w/ flavorful fruit puree, and the kale cranberry salad was one of the best things i've ever had.

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. The 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. We 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. One 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.

I ordered from Amélie’s French Bakery & Café through DoorDash and was extremely disappointed. I paid for the French Italian sandwich with extra prosciutto (receipt attached), but instead I received a plain sandwich with just turkey and spinach. This is nothing close to what I ordered. I even called the bakery, but instead of trying to make it right, they just told me to submit a refund request through DoorDash. For the price I paid, this was very frustrating and unprofessional. I was really looking forward to my meal, but the experience left me mad and disappointed. I hope they take more care with future orders, because this was unacceptable.

Ordered a naked cake a week ago for July 4th after confirming details by phone. My wife and I just went to pick up the cake and received a fully iced cake instead. When we complained, the pastry chef explained he had to ice it because the layers were falling apart but offered no apology or solution. The final product looked nothing like what we ordered or the picture shown to us. Very disappointing service and no attempt to make it right. Very poorly made cake and service. Even the presentation is poor; we asked for the berries to be in the center. No one seemed to care at all.

Sunflour Baking Company is a delightful gem in Charlotte, known for its commitment to crafting everything from scratch in small batches. This family-owned bakery has been serving the community since 2009, offering an extensive menu that includes pastries, sandwiches, cakes, and coffee. Their signature Cake Jars—tiered cakes nestled in mason jars—are perfect for nationwide delivery and are sure to bring joy to anyone who receives them.
A great pastry shop and all are freshly made. Attentive staff. Ample sandwich menu. They can better serve customers if all pastry selections for seat-in are given in a plate and not bagged! Plenty of seating indoors with local parking. Recommended

The bakery smelled great, so maybe I ordered wrong. I got the bacon egg and cheese on the butter roll because the sign said that the butter roll was a fan favorite. It looked good but I didn't like any of it. The bacon tasted strange and they left the paper on the cheese, the roll was mid. The service was slow but the girl was friendly enough. I was disappointed overall.

We are so thankful for Sunflour Bakery! For the past 4 years, we’ve ordered a gluten free, vegan cake due to wheat and egg allergies for our daughter, and they always turn out so delicious and beautiful. This year was our favorite! Having a local shop able to accommodate this request is SO amazing to us!

Place is super cute!! Like the decorations, music, and the way the pastries are displayed. I got a carrot muffin and a dirty mocha. Muffin is delicious, but the coffee was less mocha than I expected, but still good! The man that took my order wasn’t very nice, as he didn’t even greet me, answer when I said thank you, and just sort of ignored me. They seemed a bit busy, so I can understand a bit. When I got to my table, the seat was covered in crumbs. Not a big deal to me personally, but could be to some people. Overall, food and atmosphere was great! But customer service and cleanliness was debatable, so maybe I’ll try another location!

Beware. Ordered a 12oz apple cider, that was already in a cooler, but they filled the cup halfway with ice and charged me $5.25! Now I remember why we stopped coming here.

Stopped at the Elizabeth Sunflour location before a road trip for a quick breakfast. They had so many fresh pastry options and their staff was very nice and helpful. I was unsure of what drink I wanted and Maleehah took the time to explain what they had and convinced me to try their season lavender syrup in a latte. It was so good and I appreciate her taking her time. Will be back soon!
