"This place has quickly turned into one of my top spots in Charlotte! It’s a relaxed café-style setting that offers an amazing range of pastries, sandwiches, and coffee choices. Everything I’ve tried so far has been fantastic — from the spinach and feta pastry to the tomato and goat cheese pastry, and of course, the chocolate croissant, which is perfectly crisp and rich. Each pastry has that golden, flaky texture that makes it hard to stop at just one. Located in the South End area, it’s super convenient to reach, even on foot or from the light rail. There aren’t many tables inside, so it’s a great idea to grab your coffee and treats to go if it’s busy. The staff here are always kind and attentive, eager to share their favorite picks and help you decide what to try next. Everything feels thoughtfully made, and the overall experience is delightful from start to finish. Absolutely a must-visit for anyone who loves fresh pastries, great coffee, and a friendly atmosphere!"

"I will admit that I am not one to typically write reviews as it usually involves having to figure out my password and by then I lose motivation and stick to an occasional ❤️ or 🤤 or maybe a comment on instagram which is the only social media I have and I have it only to discover the next yummy food to enjoy. And Instagram is how I came to know and love Vicente. I can still remember the smell of their amazing croissants 🥐 when I first opened their door and knew how incredible they were going to be. Their breakfast croissant sandwich is huge and I usually split with a girlfriend so we can then also split a delicious pastry too! Their food is delicious and their people are sweet and kind. Unlike the people who decided to give them 1 star ⭐️ reviews because they sell out of their pastries since they are so delicious. And is why I decided to actually go to the effort to write a review today. Two… not just one person felt the need to take the time write a review and give 1 star saying that business is doing bad business simply because they sell out of a product before they managed to get there to buy any. One even stating that they came at 9, 11, & 12 and every time are sold out. Now personally if I went at those 3 times and they were already sold out, I’d set my alarm and try earlier next time. As a matter of fact, I know that Vicente opens at 7:30am, is closed on Mondays, and closes when they sell out. So when I have a Vicente craving I make sure I am there no later than 7:45am to get what I want or accept the consequences that what I want may be gone. Being mad at business for being sold out of a special is like walking into a bakery mid October and being mad that they no longer have the September donut of the month. Come on people do better! Be better! And for everyone else who already knows how good Vicente is, take the time to write a review and help raise Vicente star score back up from the 1 stars ⭐️ people who should be given themselves a 1 ⭐️ star!"

"I cannot recommend enough this place. It is by FAR and without a doubt the BEST bakery in Charlotte. Pastries are freshly baked and you can tell, they have great customer service and they are always coming up with new flavors and ideas (which is dangerous because there’s always something new to try). I love it and always find an excuse to go get their stuff. Just a heads up, go early cuz they are so good that they will ran out of goodies if you get there late!!!! I love you guys!"

"UPDATED FROM 5 TO 4 STARS: Vicente in Charlotte is a pastry lover’s dream. Their croissants are hands down the best I’ve ever had, flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection. Whether it’s the classic butter croissant, ham & cheese, or one of their creative seasonal flavors like chocolate pistachio or dulce de leche, they’re pure magic. The bakery blends Latin American and European influences, creating a menu that’s both unique and comforting. The staff are friendly, and the cozy vibes make it a great spot to start your day. However, they’re continuously sold out of key items, which means they’re not keeping enough stock to meet daily demand. It’s frustrating to arrive early and still miss out. That knocks it down a star, but the quality remains top-tier."

"Outstanding bakery: fresh, crispy and sizable pastries 🥐. Prompt and friendly service. Free parking on premises. Seating both indoors and outdoors. A great place to start your day! Highly recommended"
