Amelie's Carmel Commons

Stopped by for a quick bite. The ambiance had a modern layout with plenty of seatings. A cute place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. We ordered a regular croissant, chocolate croissant and a cheese danish. They were all pretty good- fresh and flaky. We also ordered a bunch of other pastries and macarons to go. Surprisingly the macarons were not overly sweet. Pay attention to your receipt because we got over charged for a few items that we didn’t order for.

An amazing, artistic, classic and calming environment. Amélie's to me will be in my top 5 bakeries/coffee shops/simple lunch or meetup spots. I truly enjoyed the overall atmosphere and vibe. The employees were very nice, and overall I loved it. Desserts; I had a few different ones and so did a business partner of mine who I was meeting up with and we enjoyed all of it. We had Chocolate Silk Tart 8/10 (no soggy bottom. Perfect. The chocolate custard reminded me of my mothers) *Tiramisu 8/10 (not dry at all. Perfectly soaked in coffee) *Creme Brulée 9/10 (they torched it fresh) *Salted caramel brownie 7/10 (you can tell caramel was cooked properly with how well it held up) *Banana Cream Tart 7/10 (no soggy bottom. Perfect) *Cheese Danish 7/10 ( could use more cream cheese but overall very flaky and good taste) Overall everything wasn't nastily sweet like you get with some american bakeries. Everything you could actually taste what they were made with and not just sugar. I really enjoyed it. She really enjoyed it. She went to the bathroom and stated they even had a secret code word for woman in case they are in trouble to discreetly tell employees. Very happy with that. Not a lot of places do that. Bathrooms were very clean and nice on the mens side.
