Amélie's French Bakery

Amélie's French Bakery sits in NoDa / Uptown, about 3 miles north from the Chantilly street grid. From most of the neighborhood the practical routes east and north are Commonwealth Avenue and Central Avenue; Independence Boulevard (US-74) is faster toward Uptown and the southeast, and the Briar Creek greenway covers much of the same ground on foot or by bike.

Parking in this part of Charlotte is a mix of small dedicated lots and residential street parking with posted restrictions. On weekend evenings the Plaza Midwood and Central Avenue nodes fill early — arriving before seven, or walking in from the neighborhood, is the local habit.

Why it earns a place in this guide: the salted caramel brownie that half of charlotte grew up on. Within the coffee & bakery category near Chantilly it is one of the destinations residents name unprompted, which is the only inclusion standard this guide applies.

This is independent editorial coverage. Amélie's French Bakery has no relationship with this site, and hours, ownership, pricing and menus in east Charlotte change frequently — confirm directly before you go.
