Chez Marie is a bright, charming little patisserie at one corner of Sharon Corners shopping center…read more The blue and white ambiance lends a decidedly French air to the place, with its half-dozen or so tables inside and another four or five outside. The inside was immaculate and beckoning, with a two-sided display of the offerings and a shining espresso machine behind the register. The workers bore welcoming smiles and a a polite, inviting nature. All of that is the reason I give this patisserie three stars instead of two. While some foods are still a mystery to me - barbecue I can just take or leave, mostly leave - I know coffee and I know baked goods. The croissant I sampled was dry, implying unkindly that the flaky pastry dough was either formerly frozen or not fresh, and while croissants aren't exactly the moistest pastry to be found, the idea behind making them is kneading and rolling in a lot of butter, which I truly could not taste. What a disappointment. And somehow, somehow, my latte, albeit freshly prepared before me, was lukewarm when I took my first sip on the way to the car. How is that even possible? At the last minute, I asked for caramel to be added to my drink, but that was imperceptible too. I'd forgotten to ask for it to be half sweet, so I guess that was a blessing in disguise. When you stop by a bakery late in the day you sort of pays your money and takes your chances, but I visited just before noon. No crowds either. Disappointing all around, though again, the ambiance invites lingering. Cute bistro, lovely people, but - and I cannot believe I'm saying this - I'd have done better at the nearby Starbucks if all I wanted to do was get a latte and pastry. As the French would say, domage.

Despite its French name, this is a huge chain of…read moreKorean bakeries that's been rivaling Tous Les Jours (yet another French-inspired, French named Korean bakery chain)...and been around for YEARS around the world (since 1988!). Can't believe it took this long for these bakeries to make their way to Charlotte. I, for one, have given up waiting...and have been enjoying Tous Les Jours and Paris Baguette (and several other Korean bakeries) in other US cities for many years. Though unknown in these parts, Korean bakeries are huge in Asia, and metro cities around the world. Still, am glad it finally hit the Queen City...better later than never??? Somehow I was expecting a much bigger layout (like the one in Duluth!), but this one will do...as it has plenty of pastry-plus selection. To see their full selection, I suggest getting there earlier in the day...they go fast! Not only does this location carry a good selection puffy pastries, they also have a good deli selection. So I stocked up on a variety of pastries, as well as sandos to bring home. In addition to a few fruity pastries, we tried the Turkey & Avocado Baguette, Egg Salad Sandwich and Tuna Salad Sandwich...and they were all DEE-Lish! Just like all the pastries, all of their deli items are super-fresh...made in-house! I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte...and I found it a tad too sweet. Think I prefer Tous Les Jours' version of that. In any case, I'm an absolute Whore when it comes to puffy pastries, so am so glad we have these bakeries in town...at last!

I got the marbled brownie, a slice of lemon pound cake, and a red velvet macaroon. The macaroon and the brownie were just okay, kind of on the soft side for both. Definitely not memorable. The only item that I really liked was the lemon pound cake but I wouldn't still go out of my way to grab it unless I was already in the area.

I also tried two pastries , their scones which had contained three different fresh fruits (apricots , blueberry and I forgot the last thing ) and each bite was orgasmic . So too was their bread pudding with the blueberry compote . Many of their other pastries looked really inviting . Hopefully I can try more of their offerings soon as this was a home run !

The fried chicken sandwich is an absolute must. Order the le burger with fried eggs and hollandaise sauce. It becomes more of a fork and knife burger, but it is delicious. The pommes frites are a perfect accompaniment to the sandwiches, as they are crispy, well seasoned and topped with dill. Ask for the garlic aioli, as they do not serve ketchup. We returned for dessert and ordered the beignets with raspberry sauce. Delicious!
