Amelie's French Bakery

My first visit was exciting because I got to share it with my sister. We both struggled out of bed but got ready and headed to Amelie's newest location in downtown Rock Hill, SC for brunch before I had to go to work. Rock Hill's downtown main street is adorable but it is easily over looked with Charlotte right around the corner. Over the years Rock Hill has been growing and developing as well as remodeling the look of the city and turning heads with the new additions to the city and one of those additions includes Amelie's. Students at Winthrop University come out and study while enjoying gourmet treats and great espresso as well as locals come in for business meetings or for a treat just because. 

Since we had just woken up (even though it was noon) we decided to start off with a breakfast sandwich, which is our favorite thing for breakfast. We got a Peppered Egg, Manchego, Spinach, and Bacon Sandwich on a Baguette. Every bite was amazing! This place is perfect especially because my day always starts later and I crave breakfast around 11 to 1 when breakfast ends at most places. We also got Caramel Lattes and the espresso was so smooth and the caramel melted in my mouth... needless to say YUM! 

After we ate our breakfast sandwich and had our coffee, we couldn't stop staring at the large case full of pastries and desserts. So... we had to get the Signature Eclair and the Raspberry Tart. They were so good and you can tell they are homemade. When you bite into the eclair, every bite has just as much filling as pastry. The raspberry tart had fresh raspberries and cheesecake filling that had the perfect amount of fruit and sweet cream in every bite.

What I love about Amelie's is obviously the food but also the atmosphere, the employees and the decor all bring the experience together and with those aspects, Amelie's will continue to grow and succeed. They even have locks you can buy, paint and initial and then lock them onto the gate outside of Amelie's just like the Pont des Arts footbridge in Paris. 

Everything was so good that I even got a sandwich for a late lunch at work. I got the Turkey and Brie Sandwich with a Raspberry Compote on a Baguette. Needless to say I over indulgenced in Amelie's and I can't wait to do it again! 

There are locations in Uptown Charlotte off of South Tyron Street, in NoDa Arts District off of North Davidson Street, and in Atlanta, Georgia off of Marietta Street as well as the Rock Hill location.

My name is Mallory... and I love french bakeries.
