Amélie's French Bakery Café

Thank you for your exceptional service, especially during the busy Saturday lunch rush! Having visited this location for the first time, I have to say it has quickly become my new favorite. I rate the food 5 out of 5, the service 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere 5 out of 5.

The food in Rock Hill was rather underwhelming. The chicken salad sandwich was decent, but it had too many cranberries for my taste. The croissant was also okay. I didn't enjoy the caramel torte, which is surprising because I usually love salted caramel; something just felt off about it. I also tried a marcotter and wasn't impressed—it tasted more like watered-down caramel than espresso. Overall, it was disappointing. However, the ambiance was lovely, and the staff was friendly. I might give this place another chance the next time I'm in town.

Fantastic breakfast sandwich and delicious baked goods! The coffee is consistently fresh and has a light flavor without being overly sweet!

I enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Goat Cheese sandwich, although the chicken was a bit on the dry side. The French dip was tasty as well, but it could have used a bit more roast beef. The bread for both sandwiches was exceptional. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 4 out of 5.

During our visit to the nearby arcade, we decided to check out Rock Hill for the first time. We first stopped at a coffee shop in the area to grab some iced coffees. When we entered Amelie, we were warmly welcomed and prepared to order brunch. However, we were informed that if we wanted to enjoy our iced coffees, we would have to sit outside. Essentially, we couldn’t eat inside the café (which, unbeknownst to us, also serves coffee) if we wanted to continue sipping our drinks from a nearby roaster. We asked the cashier if they were certain they didn’t want our business, but they apologized, saying they were just following the rules. Rather than be made to eat outside on a warm day, we decided to take our business next door to Flipside Café. They welcomed us with open arms and were more than happy to accommodate us and our iced coffees.
