Experience: I always enjoy my time here, the workers are very friendly and the atmosphere is calming. The matcha is one of my favorites, and I love their seasonal drinks as well. I highly recommend trying this spot if you're looking for a good place to work or relax.

Decided to stop in again because I had such a positive experience the first time. And today was just the same as 10 years ago. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly employee. She seemed appreciative of me being there, smiled at me, etc. I hate it when I walk into some businesses and it seems like you're bothering them. If I lived on this side of town, I would probably be in here every day. It's spacious, clean, there are plenty of places to set up your laptop and work. I love that they have a bar around the coffee station so you can pull up a chair, open up your laptop and work. OAN the coffee is pretty good too. Lol. I ordered the white mocha and I also had a chicken salad croissant. Same thing I ordered the last time I believe. Still just as delicious. I also love how - who I presume to be the owner - calls out the names of people when they enter. Clearly, there are a lot of regulars here. And she greets them all by waving and saying their name.

Next, we wanted to love the actual goods of offer - beautiful presentation and a huge variety of do-it-yourself pick and choose tray style self service! Lastly we wanted to love the checkout service - it seemed ready to get people moving along! Most of these things held the weight we wanted and anticipated, short of the location and parking. The goods - we sampled a Yuzu tart (tasted like soap?!) and mango croissant (a bit of soapiness in this one too, oddly) a chocolate explosion croissant (best of what we tried and chocolate was evenly distributed) and one each of the pretzel shaped pastries (ok but nothing exciting and tasted bland). Again- skilled presentation and mastery of baked goods form...these all looked great and tasted...just ok. There were three staff members at the counter and two seemingly were distracted while one gent running the register was taking care of the 5-6 people deep line. Only as the line approached the cafe area and door did the other two staff start taking customers at the other register. There are probably several options here to delight palates if you take the time to sample all the items and perhaps we simply picked poorly during our visit.

Quick SouthPark sugar stop at Tous les Jours after a long afternoon of errands and shopping…read more Sometimes you do not need a full meal. You just need caffeine, carbs, and five minutes to reset your mood. I already knew exactly what I wanted, so this turned into a tactical pastry mission. Pulled into the little Piedmont Town Center circle with the fountain, double parked for a hot second, ran inside, grabbed an iced coffee and a mango croissant, and got right back out into Charlotte traffic. The mango croissant was flaky, buttery, lightly sweet, and filled with enough cream to make the entire stop worth it. Perfect little energy boost when your social battery and shopping patience are both running low. The location itself is great for a quick pop-in. Cute little area with hotels, restaurants, and walkable spots nearby. Easy place to grab a sweet treat before continuing your day. Life is too short to not eat well, Charlotte. Get out there and eat.

Well, the sando was fairly standard, but the soup was amazingly good! This time, the bartender-waitress was a young, friendly female, and she did a fabulous job! Just as the friendly, male bartender from our last visit, I marveled at how she managed to work both the bar AND the restaurant upstairs. Can't be easy, yet they both managed to make it seem easy! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the visit again...and am sure to revisit soon!

They had offered samples of their lemon tart at the event, which stayed on my mind--so I came back and ordered the Lorraine-style quiche. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced by a fresh side salad. I paired it with a café au lait, which was equally well done. The ambiance is effortlessly chic--very much reminiscent of a European café--and it was lively during lunch. It's the kind of place where you can sit, linger, and people-watch... and SouthPark definitely showed up in style. At one point, several guests seated near us were speaking French, which added to the authenticity and overall experience. Service was warm and efficient, even with the crowd. The bakery itself is on the smaller side--you order inside and then head outside to sit and eat. I went on a Sunday, so it was very busy with a long line, but it moved quickly. When seating fills up, the neighboring restaurant allows use of their patio, which is a thoughtful touch. My friend enjoyed her quiche as well, and we both agreed it's a spot worth returning to--whether for a casual lunch, coffee, or a pastry break. I also order a few macarons to go and my family enjoyed them.

Review for Renaissance Patisserie…read more After relocating to Charlotte from San Francisco, one of the first things I searched for was a proper kouign-amann (pronounced queen-ah-mahn). It's a staple where I'm from, and when I discovered that Renaissance Patisserie carried it, I made the drive immediately. I'm happy to say--this place is the real deal. The kouign-amann here reminded me of the ones back in San Francisco. It wasn't quite as buttery or rich as some of the West Coast versions, but it was absolutely enjoyable--and most importantly, I finished every bite. That alone says a lot. Location & setting: Renaissance is tucked into the upscale specialty shops of SouthPark, in a lovely, polished shopping center surrounded by quality retailers like Williams Sonoma and several restaurants. Parking is plentiful and convenient, and once you step out of your car, you're welcomed into a charming outdoor courtyard that feels relaxed and refined. You'll immediately notice the bright yellow awning--it's cheerful and inviting--and inside, the bakery is just as charming. The black-and-white tile floors, small bistro tables, and beautifully arranged pastry case create a classic European feel. It's not a huge space--maybe six or seven tables--but it feels cozy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. What makes it special: * A stunning pastry case filled with beautifully crafted desserts and laminated pastries * Skilled bakers and decorators--you can tell there's real craftsmanship behind the products * Friendly, efficient service * Apple Pay accepted (always appreciated) * Self-service water and condiments station * Clean, comfortable environment * A lovely outdoor patio that's perfect when the weather cooperates I do wish they occasionally experimented with more creative variations of the kouign-amann--perhaps seasonal fruit or specialty flavors--but even in its classic form, it's consistently a hit. I've brought these pastries to friends and gatherings, and they're always well received. What I appreciate most is that Renaissance delivers on quality and consistency. It may be a newer trend here in Charlotte, but these pastries have been a long-standing favorite in cities like San Francisco, and it's wonderful to see that level of craftsmanship available locally. Bottom line: Beautiful pastries, fair prices, great service, and a polished, welcoming atmosphere. This has become my go-to bakery in Charlotte, and if you appreciate well-made French pastries, you will not be disappointed.

I asked for a pasty recommendation and the cashier said her favorite was the Mixed Berry Danish. So I had to give it a try. Everything in the case looked delicious. I decided to try the danish first and it didn't disappoint. It was so good. This danish was made with love. Now my drink however was a disappointment. I knew it would be floral and it was floral but almost tasted medicinal. Like I was drinking a cough syrup latte. It wasn't sweet at all and I had to force myself to drink it. Yes I finished it cause in this economy I don't have $7 to waste on a matcha latte. I will not order the Blue Matcha Latte again but I will return. I'm very interested in the $35 afternoon tea.
