Villani's Bakery - Charlotte

I had my mother in law with me for the day. I suggested we try Villani?s Bakery. It?s a bit of a drive from Davidson but we did it! This bakery has been on my radar for a while. As a Google Guide, I try to find unique places?this is definitely worth thedrive. The employees are nice helpful. It?s a very small place, I mean?.small! But it?s packed with baked sweets. We orderedtwo coffees, the chocolate cake, a chocolate croissant and I picked up a bacon, cheese biscuit to have with my breakfast in themorning. I like to crack an organic egg with next day biscuits. Yum! I really wish they had indoor seating? especially when itgets cold. Villani?s Bakery gets 5 stars from me!

Their pastries are so darn yummy and addictive Best pastries for Charlotte. ! Expensive/ pricey They always have new and different type of cheesecake and super fresh Their macaroons taste fresh and melt in Your mouth, I?ve also tried the creampuffs (yummy! and cannolis (yummy

I went on a Saturday morning and the place was packed, tried various pastries including croissants, pain au chocolate and sflogliatella. They were good, the croissants were flaky and crispy. The only thing I was not expecting it was for the regularcroissant to have a sort of light savory(maybe Italian seasoning? flavor. Not bad if you are looking for a savory breakfast.

Me and my wife have been here twice and it has been amazing every time! The first things you notice when you walk in are the smells (amazing) and the great customer service. Every time we've come in, all the staff greeted us and helped us asap. Thebaked goods are top notch. Maybe the best in Charlotte. Everything tastes so fresh. The cream puffs and the brownies are thestars. If you go here, get a brownie. They are the best in town.

Prefacing my review with the fact that I do visit often, too offer my custom as a local. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed from last few visits First the good, love the cakes and the horns and have sampled most of their offerings. Fell in love withmy first pan au chocolat, but the last 3 or 4 have been quite the disappointment. I wish the chocolate piping could be moreuniform and piped through the croissant, rather than just a blob of disappointment; in one corner (pics attached) The black andwhite cookie, I also had was okay way too crumbly and certainly not fresh, which I should be able to expect better at this pricepoint, IMHO
