Amazing bakery in Camp North End! The space is beautifully decorated too.

I tried a variety of items and really enjoyed the savory bread and the chocolate cookie. You can tell they use very high quality ingredients.

There is parallel street parking as well as a big parking lot a short walk away.

I had an amazing experience at this coffee shop! The drip coffee was perfectly brewed, rich, and flavorful. I also tried the salted caramel cake, and it was simply delicious – the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The highlight of my visit was the super friendly barista, who made me feel right at home. Excellent service and great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Really cute shop. Small but they accommodate with outside seating. Pastries were a bit strange when I went - my pastries were a bit hard but I also went later in the day.

Sam created a stunning, delicious cake for our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with. The cake tasting at the bakery was a fun experience and we felt like Sam really took the time to understand what we were looking for. We highly recommend Sam and Wentworth & Fenn!

Wow!! You can see the passion and love that goes into these pastries just by looking at them on display! I love that there are sweet and savory options here and that they also offer tasty drinks and some allergen friendly options as well!! All around delicious goodies in this place, support local!!

The lady working was very nice and helpful. I loved the decor/vibe in there. Also, we went there later on a Sunday so I understood that the items wouldn't be the freshest, but... dark choc chunk cookie had a strong stale taste to it. Again, I know we were later in the day but for the price, they need to pull the stale items. Also, it was really salty. I love salted caramel, so salt/sweet is usually my jam, but this was too much. The chocolate cupcake was very bland. If my eyes were closed, I wouldn't have known it was chocolate. The frosting was like solid butter with no hint of vanilla or sugar or whatever flavor they were going for. On a good note, the shortbread was yummy. I would recommend that since we all liked it. It was crazy that it had more flavor than the cupcake.
We (there were four of us trying the treats) were really excited to try this place and I do wish for their success, so I'm hoping they'll make some adjustments... or maybe we were just there on a bad baking day. I would like to return to try their coffee and have some more shortbread at some time.

In Charlotte's vibrant NoDa neighborhood, nestled within the bustling Camp North End, there lies a bakery that could very well be the stuff of legends - Wentworth & Fenn. Commanded by the culinary wizardry of Chef Sam Ward, this establishment isn't just a bakery; it's a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of local small businesses in the face of adversity. You see, Chef Sam had to close her uptown location due to the all-too-familiar tale of high overheads and low foot traffic, a stark reminder of the fragility of our beloved local haunts. It's upon learning this that I felt a renewed urgency to support our local gems, and what better way to do this than by indulging in the culinary delights of Wentworth & Fenn?

Armed with the determination of a foodie on a mission, I set my alarm clock with military precision, ensuring I'd arrive just in time to sample their famed Saturday bakery specials. The menu? A smorgasbord of freshly baked wonders that could tempt even the most disciplined of eaters.

Peering into the display case, my eyes danced over the array of fresh cakes, breads and pastries, each looking more tantalizing than the last. While I didn't indulge this time, they've been duly noted for a future visit, which, let me assure you, will be sooner rather than later.

First on my list was the Basil & Burrata Bialy, a masterpiece of baked goods that harmoniously blends the freshness of basil with the creamy delight of burrata, all atop a bialy that's as pillowy as clouds in a Renaissance painting. The smoked salt & lemon cream cheese was a revelation, adding a zesty freshness that elevated the bialy to new heights. My only quibble? A personal preference for warmth, to further unlock the flavors nestled within this delightful creation.

Then came the Mozzarella, Rosemary, & Garlic Quiche - a slice of heaven, if ever there was one. The egginess, creamy texture, and aromatic herbs combined to create a symphony of flavors, all encased in a crust that was flaky yet robust, unlike any I've tasted before. It was so divine, I briefly considered a heist to take the whole pie home with me.

The ambiance of Wentworth & Fenn is akin to a cozy coffee shop, with a smattering of tables and chairs that invite you to sit and savor. The soundtrack of my morning? "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park, adding a nostalgic yet energizing backdrop to an already perfect morning.

So, to my fellow Charlotteans, let this be a call to arms - or rather, a call to forks! In a world where the convenience of chain stores tempts us away from the unique charm of local businesses, let's band together to support the places that make our city truly special. I can't wait to return and dive into their delectable desserts. See you there?
