Best coffee shop? Charlotte bakery & cafe earns spot on national Top 10 list

Amelie’s French Bakery & Café has earned the No. 8 spot on USA Today’s 10Best Independent Coffee Shops list for 2026. It was the only North Carolina café to crack the national ranking. Here’s why the Charlotte-born café was named among America’s best spots for coffee: 10Best editors praised the café’s coffee, service and cozy atmosphere, singling out the salted caramel mocha, thick hot chocolate and barista-made espressos and cappuccinos. Pastry lovers can expect croissants, salted caramel brownies, macarons, cheesecakes and éclairs, along with savory bites like quiches and sandwiches. “Our cafés are developing creative and joyful experiences through our coffee program, and we’re so honored to see the hard work being recognized,” an Amelie’s spokesperson told CharlotteFive by email. First opened in NoDa in 2008, Amelie’s has grown to include locations in uptown, Plaza Midwood, Carmel, Montford and Rock Hill, South Carolina. A 10Best expert panel nominated the contenders before a month-long public vote decided the rankings. Southern Living also named Amelie’s North Carolina’s best bakery in 2023. This report was produced with the assistance of a proprietary tool powered by artificial intelligence and using our own originally reported, written and published content.

10 North Carolina Comic Book Shops Packed With Rare Finds, Nostalgia And Unexpected Treasures

Starting your own comic convention is a pretty extreme way to prove you take comics seriously. One North Carolina shop did exactly that back in 1982, and the event is still going every summer. That sent me looking at the rest of the state’s comic shops a little differently.

Mayor Pro Tem: Why Charlotte should move forward on airport agreement | Opinion

Charlotte Douglas International Airport is one of our community’s greatest assets. It connects Charlotte to the world, supports jobs and economic growth across our region, and has helped make our city an attractive place to live, visit and do business. An asset that important deserves careful stewardship. Council members should ask hard questions about what Charlotte receives from a long-term agreement, how it protects the public interest and whether it positions our airport and our community for the future. After considering those questions, I believe the proposed Airline Use and Lease Agreement is good for Charlotte, and I support its approval. While I will not be able to attend the Council meeting when it comes up for a vote, I want my position to be clear. The agreement provides the framework for roughly $2 billion in investment at Charlotte Douglas. For travelers, that means real improvements: additional gates, a new passenger tunnel connecting the terminal with an expanded Concourse C to help reduce crowding and improve movement, renovations to our international arrivals facilities, and airfield improvements supporting greater safety, reliability and efficiency. It also lays the groundwork for Charlotte’s continued international growth, including additional international capacity. As our city becomes
