Wentworth & Fenn

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 finally made it! I’ve been looking forward to this forever! Sam is a treasure & her baked goods are divine! I could have taken everything home! Carly waited on me with patience & took great care helping me pick out a biscuit, a vegan pastry, a loaf of the 4 cheese onion & garlic boule. While my husband was in Babe and Butcher I broke off a piece of the biscuit and I don’t think I’ve ever tasted any biscuit like this one! And I have had my share of biscuits my entire life. The size of this thing, Oh my! I had to try Hex Coffee. Most coffees can be bitter, but not this one. It was perfect! I want to personally thank Sam for having me as a guest in her beautiful space! Allowing me to indulge in her amazing baked goods baked with love & artfully displayed. Anyone wanting to experience a unique bakery, this is it! Parts of this bakery took me back to France & a mix of modern day. The macarons were like pieces of art! Don’t hesitate! Get in your car & go experience this delightful bakery & Sam’s charms for yourself! After you pick up your treats, walk around & explore Camp North End, it’s a gem in Charlotte! Update: Update: July 26 I can’t resist coming in for a treat when I am in the area. This afternoon my husband and I shared a chocolate pastry with this amazing espresso cream. I can’t remember the name of the treat but, it was So delicious! I took a little video of it. Of course we also had the Hex coffee. It’s perfect!

After getting dinner at Leah and Louise, we stopped by here for some dessert. We sampled several things from their fall menu: caramel apple macaron, pumpkin ginger cheesecake, banana white chocolate bread pudding, and a salted caramel oatmeal cream pie. I had heard great things about the bread, so we also got a rosemary olive oil goat cheese foccacia. We really enjoyed all of the desserts (with the exception of the cheesecake which I wasn't a huge fan of). The bread pudding was my favorite. I absolutely loved the middle bite of the salted caramel oatmeal cream pie, but it made me wish the other bites had caramel too (it was only in the middle). I'm not a bread person, but the bread stood out the most. It was incredible. It had the best flavor and was coated in sea salt. The olive oil made it moist. We were going to save most of it for later and ended up finishing the whole load when we got home. If you haven't tried their bread, you really need to. I'm already wanting to go back for more.

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?

Everything is always perfection. The latest loaf ‘Almond Cocoa Nib’ is so incredibly lovely. The portion was NOT stingy either! Wentworth and Fenn you are doing mighty fine things with the simplest of ingredients. Thank you for keeping our tastebuds happy and hungry for more.

Yesterday was my first time going to this bakery, and I will be going back for more. Everything about this place is A+, from customer service to the food. I ordered two slices of cranberry cake and one giant chocolate chip cookie. The cake was not too sweet but had the right sweetness. It was moist and not heavy or greasy. Just perfect. I had to fight myself not to eat both slices in one sitting. The cookie was another perfection. My issue with cookies is sometimes the dough overpowers the chocolate chip or the other way around. With this cookie, there was a balance between the dough and the chocolate chip. I will be back for more thanks for the experience and the fantastic products.

All of the baked goods we tried were beautiful and delicious. Customer service was good. The bread pudding was our favorite. We will definitely be returning to try more delicious treats.

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!
