Atelier on Trade

Highly recommend if you are going to visit only one coffee shop in Winston-Salem. Atelier is fantastic; they have incredible coffees and the owner is extremely knowledgeable on all of them. He also prepares some mean croissants!!! We love this place. By far my favorite place after being in Winston-Salem for 4 years.

This is a sweet little shop that offers delicious pastries and coffee, as well as a super comfy environment to hangout in thanks to the big farm tables, tucked away nooks, soft couches, and relaxed setting that captures a bit of that comfortably refined French Country style. The pastries are beautifully made and almost too pretty to eat, but you won't mind tearing into these little beauties after the first bite. The use of fine quality ingredients is quickly apparent and delightful. The sweets and savories offered at Atelier are crafted with care, detail, and pride which translates into nothing short of an amazingly wonderful and memorable treat for your senses. I'm hooked.

I ordered the vanilla bean cheesecake and it was delicious!!! This would be a great place to study or just have coffee with your friends. I would definitely recommend this cafe and bakery.

AMAZING croissants!! Best you will have outside of Paris. Light, fluffy and buttery layers...done to perfection. Had the pain au chocolate and the ham and cheese and couldn't pick a favorite! Given that the chef and owner was trained in Paris and worked at some of the best restaurants in New York, it is no wonder that he is so skilled at creating the most original and unique flavor combinations in all of his pastry selections that change daily. Great to bring home or to stay and enjoy. Warm environment great for studying or enjoying a cup of coffee. Fireplace in the back.

Amazing French patisserie in downtown Winston-Salem. The chef is amazing and has delightful danishes, pastries, cakes and pies that are next to none. The pan de chocolat is Oh So tasty and they make wonderful coffee and coffee drinks from my favorite roaster in the United States...Counter Culture. Come try something. They do have weird open hours from Wednesday through Saturday.
