I was told they had 2 types of muffins, Blueberry and Pineapple, cinnamon nut. She said they had a special buy 5 get 1 free. Saw some Monkey bread, got that too. She rang it up at $29. and change. My heart dropped. I couldn't afford that but, didn't want to cause a ruckus. I got home and made some coffee and saw that I got chocolate chip muffins not blueberry.. and the pineapple taste and evidence of pineapple was no where to be found. With all the people these days with allergies, what if I was allergic to chocolate or an ingredient she told me was in there but was not??!! I being a Chef for 5 diamond 5 star Hotels and such for 40 years would be disgraceful to deceive a customer like this. She just lost a future customer!!

I…read moreusually am in for breakfast and early enough to snag an almond croissant or chocolate almond but stopped in later today to finally try an empanada. Went with the beef and it was awesome! Its a huge empanada, so different from the other empanada spots in the area and also so cheap. Would 100% recommend and am excited to try the chicken one and curry one in the future Staff is super friendly and takes the time to discuss the pastries with you if you have questions. Saw them making some of the items for the next day and was in awe

As a San Francisco Bay Area foodie who recently relocated to Charlotte, I keep a running list of…read morebakeries to explore--especially anywhere that might carry a proper kouign-amann (that glorious Breton pastry that is basically my kryptonite). That search led me to Vicente in South End, and I'm happy to say it absolutely earned its spot on my list. The kouign-amann here was slightly lighter and a bit less dense and buttery than the ones I remember from the Bay Area, but it still hit all the right notes--caramelized edges, flaky layers, and just enough indulgence to satisfy the craving. When you find one in Charlotte, you take note. I also ordered a frangipane (marzipan) croissant, which is always one of my go-to pastries when it's done well. This one delivered--rich, nutty, and comforting without being overly sweet. I'm not much of a chocolate pastry person, so I tend to gravitate toward custard- or almond-filled items, and this bakery clearly understands how to execute those classics. The space itself is beautiful--clean glass storefront, modern aesthetic, and a welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. It's attached to a large apartment complex with underground parking, which makes it surprisingly easy to access. Very walkable, very convenient, and refreshingly low-stress compared to some of the trendier spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the prices felt reasonable for the quality. One small wish: I'd love to see a late-day pastry special or a loyalty program. I'm the kind of regular who will absolutely show up more often if there's an incentive--and let's be honest, pastries are hard to resist when there's a little nudge. I'll definitely be back, especially if they start experimenting with more creative flavors. A kouign-amann with poached fruit--nectarine, mango, or passionfruit--would have me running back through the door. And candidly, I'm grateful Charlotte's pastry scene is still growing. It means there's room for bakeries like this to shine and keep raising the bar. As someone who loves good food, I'm always rooting for local bakers and artisans to succeed. Bottom line: A beautiful neighborhood bakery with solid execution, friendly service, and a kouign-amann worth the trip. I'll be back--and I'm keeping an eye on that pastry case.

I was finally able to check out this French-inspired bakery across Southpark Mall...and despite…read morearriving rather late in the day, they had a pretty good selection of bakery items, as well as some deli sandwich selections. Their drink menu seemed a bit weak, but I did appreciate how they had complimentary water. I liked how they were located inside the Pavilion...and how they had such a nice, spacious area outside of the shop to leisurely enjoy your treats! I was in a hurry, so just picked up 2 Choux pastries to go...and honestly, they weren't the best Choux that I've had. Still, I was glad to see that they had them here. If I was to return, I would probably try something else. In any case, good to see another bakery in the Southpark area.

I typically visit for brunch, and highly recommend the Shakshuka - it's my to-go almost every time I visit. That said, the Frijoles de la Olla, Boxty Browns, and of course the Chicken & The Egg are delicious. There was a recent renovation and they have now expanded the patio, only enhancing the experience. Pre-renovation, they were hosting monthly wine tastings which I attended monthly! While these have not been brought back yet, my fingers are tightly crossed these go back on the calendar soon! (hint, hint to the owners) The food at the wine tastings is delicious, and while simple, a huge standout was the best popcorn I have ever had and an Asian noodle salad!

I got a breakfast burrito that is surprisingly filling for being just one smaller burrito. Service was fantastic! For a busy morning with a line out the door, they were prompt with filling waters and making sure our tables/chairs were cleaned. My order accidentally had chorizo in it and they immediately took it back, apologized and made a fresh vegetarian one. It's always great to see the nice gentleman at the front who takes orders, he's so friendly! The ambiance is the only thing that could take this spot to the next level! Currently on bad weather days the inside seating is limited and feels cramped with large parties. For the most part, sitting outside is the way to go on the picnic tables! There is a classic cozy feel to the smaller space!

Either the management here doesn't care about losing money, or they just have no clue how their…read moreemployees are acting. I've NEVER experienced such inconsistent hours and menu availability. From what I can tell, the employees seem to be allowed to cut corners as they mentally check out after like 2:30 pm even though they don't close until 4. They say lunch is until 3pm, but sometimes they jump the gun and turn the grill off 15 minutes earlier than that, and if that happens they won't turn it back on for you, even if you are still there before 3. Last week I went in a little before 1:45 and I STILL couldn't get a sandwich because they just so happened to be closing at 2. The lady there didn't offer to let me change my order, upsell me on something different, didn't even apologize for the inconvenience... just flat-out refused me service and then the girl had the audacity to say "maybe I could have made it work if you were here at like 1:40ish..." As if her doing her job is negotiable once she's mentally already back at home on her couch. Never mind that the lobby was empty and she had nothing left to do EXCEPT her job. I was like "that's less than five effing minutes ago, y'all have a problem here" and as I walked out this girl actually yelled after me something like "I didn't know your BLT meant that much to you" Which would be completely uncalled for even if I DIDN'T happen to be someone with a chronic condition which actually does affect my diet. So yes, eating something actually WAS that important to me. This isn't even the first time an employee here has claimed I am 'two minutes too late' to order food off the grill they shut off some 10 minutes earlier than 1 hour early. Those cashiers have the work ethic of slugs. I'd recommend literally any other place for lunch, as the Great Harvest has disappointed me several times now. The first time I ate here I actually left a five-star review, but that was before they changed their hours and I will be removing that review. Since then, I have tried to order more food, but I have not since been one of the lucky few who got there in time for the special window of their shift that the employees actually feel like working!! Congrats to those of y'all who make it!!
