Amélie’s NoDa: A Larger Flagship Café Experience
Amélie’s NoDa location represents a larger café setting than the compact L’Express counter in Plaza Midwood. Local reporting in April 2022 documented the flagship’s move from its earlier North Davidson Street home to East 36th Street, with the new site scheduled to welcome customers that month. The coverage described an open floor plan, a front seating area, a quieter space toward the back, an event area and a patio. Its eclectic décor remained an intentional part of the bakery’s identity rather than being discarded with the move. This history helps distinguish the current flagship from both the old address and the newer express concept. For pastries, café food or a longer stop, check Amélie’s current location information rather than assuming every branch offers the same experience.

136 East 36th Street: NoDa, Not Central Avenue
The NoDa Amélie’s address is 136 East 36th Street, Charlotte, separate from the L’Express counter at 1511 Central Avenue in Plaza Midwood. Reporting on the relocation places this flagship at the corner of Benard and 36th streets in the former Hart Witzen gallery space. From Plaza Midwood, plan a trip northwest toward NoDa rather than looking for the larger café on the neighborhood’s own Central Avenue corridor. It is also important not to navigate to the former flagship at 2424 North Davidson Street, an address that remains in older coverage. Select the East 36th Street location when checking the bakery’s official information and planning a meeting. The neighborhood distinction is especially useful if one person expects seating while another has found the no-seating express counter.
