text: My wife saw a story on TV about Amelies and suddenly we had to go So we took a field trip from Ballantyne to NoDa to check it outnnFor a French bakery it is pretty lame when I can say WilliamsSonoma frozen chocolate croissants are night and day better than Amelies We got a chocolate and cream cheese croissant and while they were both tasty they were spongy and not flaky ie they lacked the actual appeal of a croissant The cream cheese puff was also very tasty but chewy as if it was a day old or older For a place that is open hours you would think they have fresher pastries in the casennWe really wanted to like Amelies but we will probably never go back unless we have other business to tend to in NoDa
