5/5 stars for lucettegrace—all the items that we got including their pastry—Sexy Gardener, the sandwich—Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich, coffees—Cappuccino and Latte, and the dessert pastry—High Tea, tasted delicious.
Sexy Gardener is highly recommended, a croissant filled with roasted vegetables and Swiss Cheese. We also appreciated that the High Tea dessert pastry wasn’t excessively sweet. They’ve an extensive menu including macaroons and other items as well.
We visited around 1pm on a Friday, and shortly after we were there, it got pretty busy. The staff is polite and tries their best. They even bring your food to the table.
Street parking outside can be difficult to find during busy hours, but you can park in one of the parking lots nearby and walk here. Restrooms are available inside and were clean when we visited.
Overall, it’s a wonderful French patisserie in the heart of downtown Raleigh that I’d love to visit again whenever I’m in the area.
Stopped here to grab a post lunch dessert. Loved the brownie cake, perfect level of sweetness & subtle coffee flavor to compliment it. The other Oreo cake was overly sweet and not something that my taste buds like.
OH MY GOD YOU NEED THE BAKLAVA CROISSANT.
Like, 2 weeks later I was visiting my mom and she told me she's still thinking about that croissant. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time.
Please don't stop making the baklava croissant!!
Excellent pastry. I came here for a quick treat before a lunch meeting and I wasn’t disappointed. The wait was very short and while there seemed to be a steady flow of customers there never seemed to be much of a line. Plenty of seating and there was a water bowl for dogs, so it may even be dog friendly? The staff were very pleasant and the atmosphere was light. Overall a quality experience for my first time here. It was good enough that I’m tempted to go again tomorrow before leaving town, but we will see what happens.
What can I say, this place is amazing! While it is a little on the pricey side, it's worth every penny. Last time I went I ordered one of everything they had in the display case but my absolute favorite was some kind of chocolate coffee flavored cake (sorry I don't know the name!) They also have coffee, which makes it a nice spot to hang out and have a pastry and espresso. With my schedule it makes it hard to get there before they close at 4pm, but if I'm ever in the area and have the time, I always make a stop!
Good bakery, but quite pricey and not everything we got was delicious. I got eclair and didn’t like it at all. However baklava croissant was very delicious. Chocolate cake was good as well. Coffee is strong and on a bitter note.
Great place to grab a coffee and a snack.
Went in with a group. Ordered a dessert called "raleigh durham", basically a hazelnut caramel dessert. Boyfriend ordered a chai latte. While the dessert wasn't my cup of tea the flavor was still there and it was a beautiful dessert. The chai latte though was delicious! Well made and full of flavor.
It's a small shop so they fill up fast but definitely worth a visit!
I really love their pastries and make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in Raleigh. They are a tad expensive but the price is well worth the quality. The staff take extra care packing your pastries if you're getting them to go. The tarts are my favorite followed by the croissants. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area.
The deserts are what i crave. Different, not just sweet but so good. Just the regular cup of coffee was really good. I didn't even add cream or sweetner. After watching the great British bake off, this place leaves you feeling like you had a taste of that show.
Love coming here every time we’re in Raleigh, place of friendly atmosphere and delicious food. Every dessert is like a master piece, looks amazing, but taste even better. Delicious.
Such a cozy spot! We had the baklava croissant which was TO DIE FOR. Crispy, soft, buttery...it was amazing. The chai was so good too! Lots of spice and flavor to it. The lemon bar was good, not the best I had but still a nice treat. Definitely 5 stars for the croissant and chai.
Lucettegrace is one of the best bakeries in Raleigh! Their pastries are always delicious, and the indoor seating area is super cute. I love coming here for dessert, or to get some work done! Great location in Downtown Raleigh!
This is one of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to, and what stood out was their Baklava croissant. It’s out of this world!
Cute pastry and coffee shop. Lots of seating and good for a work spot. Lots of outlets. But I need to talk about that sausage gravy biscuit. Holy moly. It was so good. It’s a must try.
5 stars because they deliver what they advertise. It's a very contemporary pastry shop with fancy pastries and coffees at the price point you should expect. I read other reviews whining about the price. If you want quantity, and to fill your gut, go to Bojangles. Prices are comparable, if not better than Starbuck's and the variety and QUALITY was much better. I'm not a sweets guy, so I enjoyed a cold brew (black) with a sausage biscuit. It was perfect! Great combo and interpretation of one of my favorite comfort foods with a decent coffee. Biscuit was crunchy on the outside, warm and delicious on the inside. Gravy was inside the biscuit and the flavors were amazing! Well done!
Service was good & friendly, we were there at opening, not incredibly busy yet. Unique signage on the restrooms--Even though I do not have a mustache I was able to figure out which bathroom to use. If in the area again, I would try another of the savory options, like the ham and cheese croissant.
Very good patisserie. A welcome change from the hyper-sweet offerings of other bakeries. They have sweet stuff here, but they also have a range of well executed savory items, too.
So. Damn. Good. I’ve been on a bit of a journey to find the best pastries in the triangle since moving here over a year ago and this is one of the first places to TRULY hit the spot!
The croissants were delicious and flakey (def recommend the baklava croissant) and the Korean cheese bun was 🤤
