Instagram feeds that feature foods right out of a minimalist’s perfect world with their muted colors and bright backgrounds are having a moment, and these five Charlotte bakeries get it.

Amélie’s French Bakery & Café

The French bakery is a staple everywhere from Rock Hill to Atlanta, and they’re soon opening a new location in the Park Road Shopping Center’s Backlot. Their macarons have made the big-screen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but don’t sleep on the éclairs or chocolate croissant.

Sit down. Drink up. Our Blackberry Basil Mimosa is waiting for you. #sipsiphooray

Starting off the work week deserves a treat, even if your biggest accomplishment today is just leaving the house. #MacaronMonday
