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.
