Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: NoDa
I just realized that I have not reviewed Amelie's - one of my favorite-est bakeries around.
Let me just tell you about my love affair with this French bakery.

American (Traditional)
Fran, your food is filling. So filling. And sooo delicious. Hubs and I dropped by for a casual dinner and pretty much ordered way too much. Big shocker, I know, but really we couldn't help ourselves. The menu was filled with comfort food goodness.

Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream.
Yes.
Let's all take a minute, pause and appreciate that combination.
Mmmmhmmm. I originally rolled into Cold Mountain's next door (adjoined) neighbor, Jackson's Java. And then I walked around the corner and BAM, ice…More »
4. Dressler's
Charlotte, NC 28204
(704) 909-6295
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Myers Park
Oh wow oh wow. I'm a big fan of Charlotte local eateries, but Dressler's takes the cake...the CHEESECAKE.
For days, I've been talking about Jon Dressler's mama's Peanut Butter Cheesecake. OMG it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. But I won't…More »
5. 131 Main
This is one of our favorite casual restaurants in the Dilworth area. The food is fresh & delicious and the atmosphere is inviting & friendly. The pear mojito is incredible and they have a nice selection of moderately priced wines by the glass. The…More »

Charlotte, NC 28270
(704) 847-4827
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Arboretum
I have been on the prowl for custard. Sweet, creamy, bad for me custard. I've really missed it since my days at UW in Madison, WI. Thanks to Rita's, I've gotten my fix!
Rita's is just the ticket for a scorching hot day - it's bright and cheery…More »
7. Blue Restaurant & Bar
Blue, oh Blue, you didn't leave me blue during Restaurant Week. Thanks for that!
Blue was the only of my three Restaurant Week stops that was successful. Why, you ask? Well, one of the main reasons is because Blue offered a nice variety of their…More »

Burgers,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: South End, Dilworth
Ah, the sweet, sweet aroma of burgers and ice cream in one. Such an aphrodisiac.
Even though Mr. K's serves up some tasty burgers and fries, I'd much prefer to spend my time (and calorie allotment) on the sweet treats.
Mr. K's is such a Charlotte…More »
9. Savor Cafe & Catering
Still drool worthy, always solid and super friendly service...this is Savor Cafe.
In my past review I discussed the deliciousness in the mile high peanut butter pie, farmer's sandwich, strawberry lemonade and mac 'n cheese. Rest assured, these menu…More »

10. Polka Dot Bake Shop
3.5 stars for me...kicking it up to 4 because I'm such a sucker for sweets!
I was craving the sweet stuff and decided to create my very own personal cupcake tasting. I strolled into Polka Dot and ordered four cupcakes, all of which I cut and tasted…More »
11. Davidson Chocolate Co
Put me in a local chocolate shop and there's a really, really good chance I'll be pleased. The new Kenilworth Commons neighbor, Davidson Chocolate Co., did not disappoint this chocoholic in the least!
It's a teeny little shop, but Davidson Chocolate…More »

Mattie's deserves another star...why?
Fantastic flapjacks, folks. Freakin' fantastic. I kid you not, I indulged in one of the best breakfasts I've had in quite some time.

Oh my stars another delicious bakery! Thank goodness, because God forbid I have to travel a mile outside of Elizabeth to fetch a delicious treat.
I was really intrigued by Sunflour as soon as I read that they were opening. It's a (pun intended) sunny…More »
15. Amelie's French Bakery and Cafe
I was pretty stoked when Amelie's opened up a mini version of its mothership in Uptown. Because, really, having salted caramel brownies within one mile of my house must up my real estate value. Or at least I think it does!
As the other reviewers have…More »
16. Divine Cupcakes & Yogurt Cafe
Charlotte, NC 28269
(704) 909-7067
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
It breaks my heart to give this place fewer than five stars. I mean, hey, they have cupcakes. Glorious cupcakes. And fro-yo...typically I'd be in heaven, but from my last experience three stars is a stretch for Divine Cupcakes.
This place is…More »
17. The Cupcrazed Cakery
Oh this day of thanks, I am thankful for many things - cupcakes included. However, I get pretty ornery when I nosh on a sub par cupcake. I am delighted to report that Cupcrazed did not disappoint in the least.

WOW. Googly eyes. Yes, I had googly eyes the second I stepped foot in Nona's Bakery. It was treat overload - fudge, truffles, Italian cookies, pastries, cakes, regular cookies, cupcakes, cannolis, oh my!
Yes, Nona's has just about everything to put…More »
20. Nova's Bakery
Many of you know that I'm a total treat head. Give me a cannoli, a cookie, a piece of cake, a brownie, whatever, and I'll take it down. And smile. So, it says quite a lot when I *don't* finish a treat (or at least save it for later). Let's just say…More »

(704) 332-9910
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,

I'm adding another star to Central Coffee...because it's officially my favorite coffee house in Charlotte. Some points that need to be made...

If you're seeking some delicious, low-cal treats at SouthPark Mall, Yoforia is your jam. This particular location can get mighty packed on weekends, but the line moves uber fast.
A few things to be aware of...
1) They charge by the ounce, so if you're…More »
24. Tizzerts
A few years back my boss at the time brought in an absolutely delicious lemon and raspberry cake to celebrate my MBA graduation. I recall diving into this uber delicious, moist and, essentially perfect, cake with delight. When I sauntered back to the…More »

It's no surprise that I love ice cream. I love pretty much any treat...I'm an equal opportunity dessert eater. And even though it's a chain, I've been a Cold Stone fan since high school. Honestly, what's not to love? Big hunks of cool ice cream in…More »

Well, color me impressed. Midwood Smokehouse was really, really good! It's sitting at a 4.5 stars for me right now, but I imagine it will jump to 5 in no time.

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Dilworth
Cake Batter froyo. That is the reason I'm a fan of Menchie's. Oh - and it's super clean, full of smiley employees and the biggest toppings station I've seen in a while. I topped by cake batter froyo with Butterfinger bits, milk chocolate chips and…More »
31. Rita's Italian Ice
For a total treat monster like myself, Rita's is pretty tasty. With smiley employees and an array of cool sweet treats in a squeaky clean store, this place appeals to kids and adults alike. And, frankly, Charlotte doesn't have very many ice cream…More »
32. Decadent Designs Bakery
I lurve bakeries. If I didn't have jeans to fit into, I would live in one. And eat cupcakes and cheesecake and brownies and cookies ALL DAY LONG. But I *do* have some sense of health, so when I go for a cupcake or a treat, I want it to be good.…More »

Charlotte sure has a nice variety of frozen yogurt shops. In fact, we may be verging on over saturation. However, what I do not find enough of in Crown Town are pies. Glorious pies filled to the brim with various fruits, creams and other delectables.…More »

I went with the cappuccino…More »
