Bakeries in Charlotte? (Davidson, Tryon: house, university, live)

[thegeek74]

Do any of you know of any good bakeries in Charlotte? I would prefer something either in the University area where I work, or on the S/SW side close to where I live.

The trouble is this, I have been searching the grocery stores for Ladyfingers, (It's a type of cookie, if you don't know), and I can't find them anywhere. I want to make Tiramisu...and I need Ladyfingers! I used to stop at an italian bakery by my house in Michigan...but I don't know where to go here.

Thanks!

I just saw ladyfingers in the bakery section of Harris Teeter yesterday.

Which Harris Teeter?? I have been to two, and no ladyfingers have been found.

Try Lowe's Foods, there's one in the University Area in the Mallard Creek Area. You'll be surprised what you'd fine. Also, check Bi-LO.
We always searched for Rye Bread the big round one and Walmart superstore actually carries them.

There's a bakery called Jersey Girls, but I have no idea if they are any good.

I have actually tried Lowe's foods as well...the one in Fort Mill. No such luck.

I love a good bakery, anyway...I'll have to go out on a search!

Thanks so much for the ideas, though.

Let me know maybe I can come help you eat it.

What about blooms there's one on Harris near Chesshire where Jason's Deli is.

University Area? I'd try:

Nona's Sweets, The Terraces at University Place, 9601 N. Tryon St.

Marguerite's French Bakery, 2424 N. Davidson St.

Hansel & Gretel Bakery, 8535 Hankins Rd Ste F.

I was at the one on the corner of Steele Creek and 49. I think only the larger ones with a bakery will carry these. Good luck!

Ok...that was the same one that I looked at...and I looked EVERYWHERE...bakery, cookie aisle. Hmph! Maybe I just hit it on the wrong day.

Thanks, though!
