Took my parents out to try a bakery in the area, and this place did not disappoint at all!
The people here are very nice, and the food and beverages are delicious. I personally recommend the Charlotte for anyone who goes here—it has hazelnut sponge cake base with raspberry cream.
11/10 recommend!

Legit good bakery. You know it by the way it smells when you walk in. It's the only European style bakery that I can think of in the Lake Norman area. Everything is fresh baked, the staff are friendly, and there is a ton of space both indoor and out. The coffee is quite good as well. I look forward to returning! More
