🍩 Food Review | Finally Tried a Cronut in Charlotte! 🍩

Store: Coco and the Director Address: 100 W Trade St, Charlotte, NC 28202 Price: $8+ per person Never got to try Dominique Ansel’s famous Cronut in NYC — but guess what? Charlotte came through! 🎉 I rushed over and grabbed the very last one! Rumor has it this one might even be better than New York’s… so here’s my honest take: 🧁 Cinnamon Sugar Cronut Coated in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar — not overly sweet, which I appreciate! The lamination looked beautiful, but flavor-wise… it was just okay. Not mind-blowing, but not bad either. 😅 🥐 Croissant Okay, not gonna lie — this one wasn’t the prettiest 🥲 Might’ve been sitting out for a bit — texture was a little dry, but you could still taste the buttery layers. Not terrible, but not a must-order. ☕ Vibe & Vibe Check Located in Uptown Charlotte, this café has a cozy, stylish atmosphere — great for grabbing coffee, getting some work done, or catching up with friends. As for the pastries? Fun to try, but maybe don’t set your expectations too high 😉 #CocoAndTheDirector #CharlotteEats #Cronut #CafeHopping #UptownCLT #PastryReview #NotNYCButOkay #CoffeeAndCroissants #CharlotteFoodie #SweetToothCLT #CasualEats
