The Gallery

One of the few places in Charlotte that brings me back again and again for dessert. A very artsy atmosphere (maybe because of the all art hanging on walls, derp!) which sometimes makes me question whether I’m hip enough to be frequenting there! This time I had a good sized charcuterie plate with wine and ended my visit with the LadyM Signature Mille Crêpe Cake. There are other flavors, but the Signature «takes the cake», HAR DEE HAR HAR! The owner was super nice to us and even made us a sample raclette plate… I’ll be sure to order that on the next visit!

Visiting from out of town seeing family and on my online journey to bookmark spots I came across this place. Finding places that serve Stumptown coffee is rare enough but they also have LadyM cakes.
The place itself is ok, good amount of seating and vibe is pretty laid back. My only problem was with the service I got.
I asked for a cold brew which I thought would be made in house but was pretty disappointed to receive the bottled version Stumptown puts out. Secondly I decided to grab some beans and asked if they had Hair Bender which they said they did.
After waiting for about 15 minutes for them to get me 2 slices of the matcha crêpe cake, they tossed in the beans in the bag along with the cake. Halfway back to my cousin’s house I checked and saw that they gave me two bags of decaf. Was too frustrated to go back and deal with it.
I’m sure this place is great but didn’t give me a great first impression.

We were here for the lady M cakes. Firstly they really did a horrible job at cutting the cakes. They did not wipe the server clean enough and damaged the bottom layer of several slices. They did not even apologize. Secondly the cakes are not fresh at all. One of the citron Mille even tastes like a month old. We will never come back!

Visited Gallery twice and falling in love with lady mille signature crêpe & green tea crepes. My two favorites at Gallery.

Mid of our biking route, fantastic stop for refuel… with bubble and sweets All mill crepes are phenomenal, — and green tea is my favorite!

Once you walk into The Gallery you think you’re in a movie set. The environment is clean and romantic, heavenly and delicate. White bricks surround you and bright furnitures await your presence. Not only was the environment drawing, but the fact that this shop was serving Stumptown coffee pulled me straight through the doors.
But this is where my expectations are slapped in the face, mocked, and abandoned. I was greeted by an unkind lady who did not want to be there. She kept yelling at the barista and was not friendly at taking orders. After ordering, it took us at least ten minutes to receive our drink orders and we were the only people ordering at the time. As a barista, I was always taught never to leave drinks waiting, especially milk based drinks.
The cappuccino that I ordered was too dry with about an inch and a half foam at the top. The drink was about 60 – 70 degrees and the espresso did a great job at hiding beneath the tormented milk.
Maybe The Gallery is known for their desserts and wine and their fancy canvases. Maybe they just need more time and experience. Hopefully, I can come back someday and update this review.

I had been really excited to try The Gallery for a few months now, but unfortunately I had a pretty mediocre experience. A younger man and woman at the counter greeted me and asked to take my order. I said that I would like an iced latte and asked if they had any flavor syrups to add. The woman said yes but had to look up in the computer which kinds they had. As she was naming them off she mentioned coconut so I said coconut would be great! Neither one of them seemed very confident in what they were doing, as they kept looking nervously at eachother and were quietly questioning each step of the latte making process. Soon after I see that they’ve just made me an iced latte with coconut MILK. I took it anyway since I was running late, but I’m not impressed.

A really cute little plate for afternoon tea or coffee! The treats are really delightful and the atmosphere is great as well. I have tried the molten chocolate lava cake and all of the Lady M cakes, and I have enjoyed them all. Such a pleasure to find Lady M in the heart of Charlotte!
Fyi they only have off street parking which can be kind of a pain.

I attended the What’s your Zodiac Sign party (wine tasting with sushi) Friday night with my girlfriend for the 1^st time. Been stalking them on IG for awhile. So to finally go, it’s a big deal for me. When I first walk in, I was greeted by a host. I made reservation (good choice for an event) it get crowded quick. They seated us but then it get chaotic. I wasn’t sure where to go and what to quite do. When they’re not busy, they will/​can bring the wine that’s we suppose to taste but there’s no instructions on where to pay or what else we can order if ppl like myself don’t really care for sushi. After awhile I get it. Pay first at the register. Full menu offered. Their wines for our tasting was ok. I didn’t care to buy any bottles. I get to try to famous Lady Millie Signature Crêpe. First time ever. I’m in love. I was suppose to cut «down» sugar and carbs. But I have cut everything else just so I can have this again. I read from other Unilocalers that the crepes was ship on. Honestly I can care less. It seem like it takes a lot or work to make. So why not.
I get a chance to meet the owner. I couldn’t get her name. Soo loud, DJ spinning. But she was warm and accommodating. Surprisingly she remember my name later on the night. And bad me still couldn’t get her name!
I’m looking forward to visiting this place again with my love ones. When it’s not soo loud. Enjoyed the art works on the wall and want to see what’s for lunch, have the crêpe and try one of many choice of speciality coffees they offered!

Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon after gallery hopping. Had a tasty roast beef sandwich with a glass of Brut. The place was mostly empty. Service was good. Saw a couple of people come in and want to order the turkey sandwich & the chicken salad but were told they were out of these items, so they left. Enjoyed the artwork that was displayed. It made for a bright & cheery atmosphere. We liked the place, hope they have more business at other times.

Great deserts, great atmosphere and great service! They also have wine tastings with appetizers every Friday for a great price!

The Gallery has been on my to-​try list for awhile after trying their macarons at a recent Unilocal event. My mister and I stopped in on a random afternoon, and it was pretty empty inside. There were some folks clearly making use of the WiFi along with other patrons having an afternoon meeting. No worries though because it was easy for us to grab a table. What was not easy though was trying to figure out how to order!
No one greeted us when we walked in, so we were left to creep around trying to figure out the menus. There is a coffee/​hot beverage menu listed on a board above the cash registers, so that was easy to figure out. But, help a girl out and show me the wine and dessert list! Off to the side of the register, we found standing menus with charcuterie options. Apparently, they also make sandwiches as evidenced by another patron, but we couldn’t figure out where that menu was hiding either. Finally, someone came from the back to help us, but she wasn’t exactly helpful in explaining the options because never did get to see the wine list. Anyways, for those of you who are going for dessert, those menus are available up front directly next to the register.
I knew I wanted macarons, so that was a done deal. I wasn’t familiar though with some of the other dessert options on the menu so thank goodness for other Unilocal reviews with pictures to steer me towards the mille crêpe cakes. I wish that the menus either had pictures or that there were refrigerated display cases up front to look at to help with ordering decisions. Truthfully, I somewhat disappointed with the desserts as well as the dirty chai. We ordered one of each flavor of macaron and the green tea mille crêpe cake. The desserts were straight up out of the freezer, which definitely is a no-​no for macarons. Room temperature is best. The dirty chai came out after the desserts and was lukewarm at best. Maybe it was an off day?

Perfect place to get some work done, relax and read a book, or have a formal or casual meeting. The space is lovely with white washed walls filled with unique art and plenty of Windows to let in light. The seats are comfortable and tables are clean and each is set with a fresh flower. I had an almond milk latte which was good and reasonably priced and the green tea crêpe cake which was also good but not my favorite, I’m glad I tried the cake but wouldn’t get it again. I look forward to visiting more often and stopping by in the evening for a glass of wine!

Delicious!!! Delicious!!!Delicious!!!
It is my first time here with my wife… The green tea cake is awesome!!! Much try!!!

The Gallery is a sophisticated café that invites all types of personalities. When I first entered the café, I was pleasantly surprised at the interior design (literally a gallery, with several intriguing art pieces hung around the café). There weren’t too many people, and the atmosphere was casual but somewhat formal (hard to explain…). My friends and I ordered the green tea crêpe cake and the original meille crêpe cake. Both tasted absolutely amazing and is a must-​try if you visit the area. A slice is $ 8.00, so a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I personally was hungry so I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich combo (chips, water) and the taste didn’t blow me away, but satisfied my hunger. If you want a good crêpe cake around the Charlotte area, The Gallery is the place to go. Highly highly recommend, whether it may be for a solo trip or for a gathering of friends.

This hidden gem is almost too good to be true. This is the only place I known in Charlotte, heck in N Carolina, that carries Stump Town Coffee. Their breakfast croissant (multigrain) is top notch and comes out QUICK! Quiet, clean and chic.

Sophisticated yet approachable.
I dropped in with a small group on the tail end of a gallery crawl. The owners welcomed us in and served us some sangria while telling us a little about the art on display. A lovely couple with a lovely place.
After finishing our sangria, the four of us split a bottle of wine and shared some cheese. Nice selection and I loved the baguette, fig jam, and truffle honey that accompanied the cheese.
I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m trying dessert.

Beautiful art. Beautiful presentation. This lovely gallery also serves one of the best almond milk lattes I’ve ever had. And, unlike most coffee houses these days, The Gallery serves coffee in mug, not a paper cup. Call me old school but I love getting my coffee in a real cup! The Gallery also has assorted treats. I tried the checkered cake and it was delicious. There is also wine and beer. The staff is super nice, especially the manager Emily. She consistently makes me feel special and offers me treats to try (perfect for my cheat meal splurges) :) I’m happy to have them in the neighborhood.

I wish I could give this 4.5, but I’m giving this 4 instead of 5 because my cakes were not as soft as I’d like and were pretty cold (but still super delicious).
If you like a chill environment with good food, good vibes and good art, then this is the place for you. The interior is very nice, and it is a great place to wind down after a long day at work. The service was okay though. When I walked in, no one seated me right away so it was a bit confusing but the waitress was very sweet! The water was also great too (cucumber infused– I think)!
**Get the green tea crêpe cake, it’s my favorite! They’re a bit pricey (~$ 8 – 9) but I definitely think it is worth a try. I will be back for their regular food!

Guys you need to get here. This spot has a bombing crêpe cake. Please see the picture I took. This thing is 30 layers of crêpe with a crème filling in between each. Please enjoy and feel the love put into making this thing.
The ambiance is very clean and nice. The water is on point. I wouldn’t have even thought of trying the water but they brought out a glass for me with my cake. It’s got cucumber and lemon in it, perfect for this ridiculous heat.
Go here, order cake, eat it. You are welcome.
