Without a doubt, best bakery in Charlotte. Their pastries are to die for, I have to limit myself to just one trip per week otherwise I'd be there everyday!! I love their savory pastries with goat cheese and tomato, as well as their sweet ones (chocolate croissant, monkey bread, almond croissant are some of my favorites). Their coffee is great too, I always get a cold brew with Dulce de leche syrup or a cortado! The staff is always very quick to greet you and helps me narrow down my choices when I can't decide (which is often). There are some tables inside and outside on their patio, and you can see right into their bakery which is always fun when they're making something fresh. Go early because they sell only until they're sold out for the day, which can be quick! read more

Still soooo delicious! Tried some more pastries today. The tomato and goat cheese, the croissant, and the pain au chocolate. They were all amazing but they only complaint I have is there was two little slivers of chocolate in the pain au chocolate. /: I was not expecting to like the tomato and goat cheese as much as I did. Something about the type of pastry dough that they used with that one. It was so crispy and all the little layers made it delicious. Yummm!! read more

Vicente Bakery & Bistro I saw that this place opened up recently, and wanted to try it before I left Charolette-- very glad I did. Inside the store, everything looks so clean and the pastries are neatly laid out. I got the Breakfast Sando Croissant (8.15) which came with egg, dijonnaise and added egg (1) and bacon (2). It was amazing!!! The croissant itself was so fluffy and wow.. they stuffed so much bacon in it. My favorite part was the cheese and dijonnaise sauce. Neither too much nor too little, it was just right. Very satisfied with my last meal in Charolette. I anticipate will be very popular in the coming months read more

Incredible. I had the cinnamon roll and the cruffin and they both were absolute perfection. The staff was great too. Breakfast stops at 11 so we didn't get to try the breakfast sandwich but will definitely be back. read more

Vicente Bakery & Bistro is one of my new favorite bakeries in town. It is a lovely and delicious option with a city-like vibe. Located in one of the coolest areas in Charlotte, NC (South Blvd.) with quite a few other stores within walking distance. If you are not familiar with the area, the GPS will take you straight to it. The menu offers beautiful looking and delicious pastries along with good coffee. The service is friendly and professional and will make you feel like home! My wife and I have come a couple of times, and we always go for lattes and at least two types of pastries, and we are never disappointed! Overall, 100% recommended! read more

This one of the best spot for bakery items, menu changes weekly, owner on site, and you can see them actually make everything. Always a line but it's much deserved. read more

I was spoiled with an abundance of French bakeries where I moved from and was disappointed with Charlotte's offerings until I found this place. Their croissants are the perfect combination of flaky and buttery. Their breakfast sandwiches are also delicious; we usually get the egg, bacon and dijonnaise sauce on focaccia. Look forward to trying everything else they have. read more

Awesome! Simplify terrific from top to bottom of the menu. This morning we visited and tried several bakery items (the croissants are amazing) and the breakfast sandwich on focaccia. All were exceptional. Counter service only but it's quick and simple. Servers are attentive and friendly. Coffee shop vibe with a European flair. Great outdoor seating for friendly get togethers. Closes early but it's worth waking up for! read more

Absolutely my favorite spot in Charlotte. This family owned, small local business lives up to the hype and deserves all the love it gets.

Great service from behind the counter. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and two empanadas (one chicken, one beef). The bacon/egg/cheese croissant sandwich was huge and delicious!. The empanadas were fantastic. The empanada fillings were exceptionally flavorful with the appropriate amount of filling to pastry ratio.The empanada pastry was essentially croissant pastry which elevated the experience. I was so impressed with the empanadas, I returned back to the store to meet the chef who prepared them and gave her my personal complements. As a native Colombian/Dominican I have had my fair share of empanadas in my life, and these were the best.......ever! read more

Best croissants in the city!! As well as any other baked good that you can purchase here, sometimes I wish they were open longer but then I would be as big as a house. lol try everything here, go back again and again the staff is nice and parking is in the deck. Go early if you want a chance for whatever your heart desires read more

Amazing croissant and it's huge. We got spinach and feta , croissant with egg ( yummilicious) , ham and egg which we ate right away. Took home dulce dulce de leche, kouighmann for later. Service amazing and don't be discourage about the long lines- it's pretty fast. We were given a pastel de nata for slight delay of the egg croissant - not their fault at all. Try them - definitely will be back for more when in town. To the owner and staff- thanks for working hard for making the smooth flow of customers and sharing your amazing pastries with the rest of us. read more

So lovely! Smells absolutely incredible the second you walk in. Pastries are incredibly flakey and delicious, the best I've ever had. Everything is so fresh. Employees are so kind and friendly, this is such an amazing breakfast place. You HAVE to get the dulce de leche pastry or the spinach&feta. Those are the BEST!! read more

The food was delicious! The service was wonderful. The worker gave me and my husband a free pastry too (so kind)! I came because they sell cruffins. I hadn't had a cruffin since college almost 10 years ago. Their cruffins did not disappoint. Overall, I will definitely return at some point. read more

Vicente - Pistachio croissant, chai tea latte bread, and Nutella cruffin. - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Been looking for a REAL bakery for ages but they usually disappoint...Vicente was a nice surprise though. A Venezuelan run bakery in south end, with breakfast and lunch options. They do close at 2pm though! We went on a Sunday mid morning, by which point they had already run out of a lot of items. But had some delicious things still to choose from. It was honestly hard to decide but we went with 2 things and he threw in one more as we were birthday celebrating ! The cruffin, pain au chocolat and caramel based pastry which was the dulce de leche. All 3 were amazingly delicious. Hard to choose a favorite. Pastry was lovely and flaky and the cream in the cruffin was scented with cappuccino. Nice touch. The dulce de leche was the same pastry as the cruffin but with a caramalized base of the dulce . All were so good and not too sweet. We ate about half of each as they are quite huge. But you do have to sample a few to get the true taste. Cappuccino was nice. Foamy even with almond milk. Good strong coffee. The americano was also good. Service was great and the owner who served us was super knowledgeable about everything he sells. Nice modern minimalist vibe in the store. Most people were getting to go but there is seating inside. Loved this bakery. So hard to find real made from scratch but not sugary tasting pastries these days. This place has definitely nailed that! read more

Their pastries are amazing. Very chill place, but on weekend mornings it gets busy, you need to plan. I would highly recommend.

I'm glad to have this bakery in town. I tired several of their pastries: almond croissants, raspberry croissants, chocolate croissants and ham and cheese croissants. The croissants are freshly baked, crunchy crust and soft/moist inside with perfect sweetness . My favorite is the Ham and Cheese croissant. I highly recommend this place to satisfy your craving for croissant in Charlotte read more

OOO WEE this place is good! We stopped by early on a Sunday morning and the line was to the door. If that happens to you, don't worry because it moves FAST. The menu is kind of hard to read so we made our selections based on the beautiful display case right in front. The sun was shining on the pastries which made them just glisten and BEG to be eaten. So eat them, we did! Pastries vary from savory to sweet with some of the most delicious ingredient combinations. The spinach and feta looked incredible, but we chose the caprese, ham & cheese, and chocolate croissants. I absolute loved all the layers in the dough! Starting from crunchy to soft, the bite experience is incredible. This was our first visit to Vicente and definitely will not be our last! read more

Visited here on my way to errands. Cute coffee shop. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese croissant, almond croissant, and cold brew. The breakfast sandwich and the almond pastry were so good, really the almond croissant is one of the best I've ever had. However the cold brew was disappointing. It very weak and watery to be called cold brew which is generally pretty strong coffee. Wait time for to go was pretty decent. I'd recommend to try this bakery if you're in the neighborhood. read more

This place is awesome!!!! The croissant is flaky and tasted fantastic!!! This is probably the best croissant in Charlotte. The staff is awesome here, they are very engaging. I came in Saturday around 10:30am, they are busy and always have a line. The place is clean and has a great place for you to hang out. I just wish they have some outside seating. There is a tip for you, they only brake for the day, so if they sold out the item for the day, they are out!! So if you see something you want get it, if you thinking about getting it later they might be gone. I talked to the owner and asked about their Pastéis de Nata, Portuguese Egg Tarts, they only do it on the weekend. The Saturday that I went they didn't have any, because of that I will back for more!!! I will not stop coming until I try everything on the menu. read more

Absolutely delicious. The new cafe is our new favorite morning pastry shop and afternoon coffee. Every single item you order does not disappoint , there's plenty of options and the employees are so helpful. The first time we came we had only cash and the place is cashless.. they were so nice about it even offered we pay next time we come. Super convenient parking garage right next door with plenty of spots. Try the kouign Amann! It's a new favorite of mine .. have never tried it and absolutely fell in love once recommended by an employee. read more

Nothing less than 5 stars for this absolutely fabulous bakery & cafe in Charlotte. Great location, with street parking which is pretty easy to find. Service is super friendly and helpful; simply order from behind the counter where all the gorgeous croissants, muffins and baked goods are displayed. You can tell they take pride in their product as everything they offer is perfection. We decided on splitting a coffee, breakfast sandwich and grabbing a few things to bring home to sample. Coffee was fresh and hot, the breakfast sandwich (egg, provolone, ham, dijonaise on a croissant) was seasoned perfectly and absolutely amazing! Decadent, yet light & delicate overall, it was a beautiful breakfast sandwich that hit the spot without being heavy and filling and they also offer one with bacon instead of ham. We brought home a chocolate croissant, plain croissant, French onion, spice cake and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was wonderful. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much! read more

Seriously the best cappuccino I've had in North Carolina. Their pastries are always baked fresh and I've not ordered anything that wasn't absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The croissants and bakery items were absolutely delicious. Very tasty and fresh. The first time I went there, they ran out of food and were closed. I made sure to get there early the next day and was able to get croissants, quiche and a matcha latte. The place is small but quite cozy and very clean. Everything was amazing! read more

The best bakery outside of Europe. I promise you that's an absolute FACT! Let me tell you a secret about this bakery and bistro in South End: It's named after Vicente López St in Buenos Aires, Argentina where Chef Sam lived for some years and he imports ingredients straight from Argentina! On the menu you can find - drinks (such as espresso, lattes, and teas) - baked goods - viennoiserie - breakfast sammies and flatbreads His croissants are absolute heaven. And he makes them a special way, so that you get a super airy and buttery product. The menu is inspired by innovation, diversity, and artisanal handmade products with global influence -- most heavily by Latin America. While I am biased because Sam has become a dear friend of mine over the years, his pastries really do speak for themselves. I'm not the only Vicente addict in town, I can tell you that for certain! There aren't many tables inside, as it's intended to be more grab n go, but you can snag and open stool and devour right on the spot if it's not super crowded (which it's very busy during the weekend). Follow me on Instagram at @bigtastebestplace for more! read more

Our breakfast here was stash! My daughter and I shared a bacon/focaccia sandwich and a spinach and feta croissant. Super delightful! We also brought home a brownie croissant to share with a sweet man with a sweet tooth. Very well received. We will be back! read more

I walked in wanting a croissant. But, they were already sold out. However, I spied a chocolate chip cookie that looked unlike any cookie I'd ever seen. So, I got and took it back to my truck with my coffee. Then, without delay, I started eating it. Oh my gosh, to my delight it's sort of half croissant and half CCC. And so delicious. Half croissant and half CCC, Dang, so wonderful. Try it! read more

Get there early to try what they have available for the day. I met a friend around 12:30 at the bakery and many of the items we wanted to try weren't available. The space is great to work from and thankfully parking is available in the deck behind. The coffee menu is kind of small and basic as well as the bakery menu. read more
