I went in at 715pm to get some hot chocolate. The display case was almost empty save for macaroons and breakfast pastries. It's always a good sign when a bakery runs out of goodies in the evening. I got a couple of macaroons to accompany my drink. The hot chocolate was good and sip worthy. I liked the champagne macaroons but the red hot macaroons was a let down. For $2.50 a pop, I would except the macaroons to be better. Will not buy them again. Cute ambience and a good break from the commercial mayhem of domain. I will be back to try their sandwiches one of these days. read more

I used to be obsessed with this place but recently, I can't place an order online and they never answer their phones, so I can't place an order. When I've tried to go in person recently, I was actually turned away because the guy behind the counter said they were too busy. The last time I tried, I was given an hour wait time. I can't even blame the pandemic because none of this was an issue last year or in 2020, so I don't know what's going on. read more

Loved their French toast. Little pricey for the mimosas but it was made properly so it was worth it to me. Def will visit again. Location is awesome, staff is amazing. read more

I really wanted quiche this morning and my normal place doesn't have it at the moment. So I ordered delivery to try this place out. Here were my initial thoughts: Quiche Lorraine looks good. Picture showed a spinachy salad with this. What are these potatoes doing here? Am I complaining about getting potatoes over a salad? What has become of me? Interesting packaging choice, just putting this cinnamon roll in a bag. This cinnamon roll seems pretty rock hard. I'm not even eating this cinnamon roll. Here were my thoughts after eating: That quiche was amazing! Exactly what I wanted. Potatoes filled me up too much, kind of wish there'd been a spinachy salad. Haven't I learned not to judge a cinnamon roll by it's unheated form? 15 seconds in the microwave and that roll was amazing!! Slightly buttery, flaky, and soft on the inside. Sad I had to share it with the toddler. I imagine everything is better in person (provided they can heat the cinnamon rolls) and I'm excited to try more someday! read more

Amazing Kouign Amann. Such a beautiful bakery. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Great ambiance. Highly recommend

This place is so cute! They serve pastries and drinks all day and have a lunch and dinner menu for whoever's looking to grab a meal. I tried their matcha latte with almond milk. I like how it wasn't overly sweet, however, I wish the matcha flavor was a little stronger. All in all, a decent drink. I recommend coming here in the evening and sitting outside. The weather right now is so nice and the lights around domain northside make for the perfect ambiance. read more

Bakery Lorraine - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Awful. Stay away if you value your time. Stay open at 8:00 a.m. got there by 9:00 and it wasn't too crowded yet. Got her order in at 9:12 a.m. Proceeded to wait 30 minutes for our food. Ask several times about the status of our order. Constantly reassured "Oh it's coming." Staff ended up bringing our food and giving it to the table next to us. 50 minutes after we had ordered. The staff refused to believe us and we said that's our order. "Oh no this is theirs. There's avocado toast on the ticket.." sorry but those people that just showed up 3 minutes ago. No way it's their order. Absolutely miserable. read more

Visited during a Sunday and it was not too busy, about three tables taken indoors. Ordered the avocado toast and as I cut into it I notice a hair inside. We return it, after about 30 minutes we go back and turns out they forgot about us. Wasn't the best experience, but their coffee and pastries are good! read more

The food is good, like the sandwiches, specifically the Cuban and the breakfast sandwich but the constant long wait times have bothered me enough. I've come to Lorraine for a couple of years now and it's the same thing almost every weekend. If you order croissants or any pastry, it will be warm and arrive at least 10-15 mins before you get your coffee/drinks, by then what's the point, it's all cold and I've waited enough. Make a better system. read more

Grrat spot to grab coffee and breakfast. The pasteries are delicious! Definitely worth waiting in line for.

Not my favorite. I've gone several times and been disappointed almost every single one. I will say their tarts are phenomenal. The cookies look beautiful but there's hardly any taste. The croissants are always so hard. The cakes are a little dry. My husband got the tomato toast with chili oil and he said the chili oil ruined the entire experience. read more

beautiful packaging. However the macaroni need a bit more chew. Flavors should be stronger as well, can barely taste the raspberry read more

Bakery Lorraine - Macaron - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to this Bakery Lorraine on two different occasions. I wanted to finally try the Austin location since I had been to one in San Antonio several times and loved it. I would say I have had the iced vanilla latte and hot vanilla latte at this location. They were both good. Not as good as the one in San Antonio unfortunately. Although it was good overall. I will say I enjoy my coffee strong. Both times the drink seemed watered down. Although it might just my personal preference to have it stronger. I LOVED the almond croissant. It is always so good. Take the time to ask them to warm it up and it is even more delicious. I would say all the desserts are pretty good and tasty. Service was excellent and the cafe is clean and cute. Will definitely return for more coffee and sweets!!! read more

Came here for the first time with a girlfriend and it was soo soo good! We got the soup and sandwich for lunch but hands down the best tomato soup I have had in a while. I would come back just for that. If you are craving dessert, the brownie tart was insanely delicious. It had this salted caramel layer that surprised me at the bottom and the little brownies on the top were perfectly chewy and chocolatey. My friend had the cheesecake and that was equally delicious with the lemony creamy too and a crunchy yet chewy base that was different but soo good as well. Hands down will be back read more

Best croissants and coffee in the Domain. Period. Great service and good interior design and ambience.

Such a cute bakery located in the domain best for a nice brunch, coffee, baked goods, and studying. The inside is very open and they have many seats and outlets for those who want to get some work done and like working in bright places. I recommend getting the croissant, cheesecake, and macarons here! I especially like the croissants! Their super crispy and buttery. Coffee here is great too. The latte art is super cute and I love how the cups are big. Everyone who works here is so friendly, courteous, and respectful. I really love going to places that have great food but just as great service! read more

Great breakfast and coffee. Cool vibe. Very friendly service. Kind of pricey but everything in the Domain is

I have had mixed experience at Bakery Lorraine. The first time we had a slice of Opera cake which was fantastic. Encouraged by this, we decided to for a cup of coffee and dessert. The slice of cake had a human hair in it which we found after two bites while the coffee cup had a lipstick mark on it. They did refund us for the order but it did spoil the experience. I am not sure if we'll go back. Two stars for their Opera cake. read more

While staying in the Domain I became addicted to the chocolate donuts at Bakery Lorraine. They take a freshly baked donut, surround it with good dark chocolate, and four little sprinkles of sea salt that enhance and bring out the chocolate flavor. With a cup of their coffee it is a perfect breakfast. I also tried their chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) a couple of times and found them disappointingly tough. Stick with the donuts, you can't go wrong! read more

This place is way too overpriced. I just paid $10+ for an orange juice and water. I would not recommend this place.

One of our favorite spots to grab a bottle of wine, a snack, and sit outside to people watch. We always have a good time chillin' out here.

The interior was nice and the food was very good. The staff were also friendly and accommodating. We were sat outside with our dog and they brought some water for him. Would definitely come here again. read more

Fantastic bakery... great selection of bakery items, good coffee, and some spirit options (OJ/Grapefruit Mimosas, beers, wines, ciders, etc.). Not so crowded comparing to other businesses at the Domain. It's a very nice place to go for brunches or afternoon hangout. WIFI available. BTW... love the entire design of the store! read more

The egg salad on toast was worth it. It is made with Japanese mayo, so it is a slight twist and sweeter and tangier. Lots of lovely pastries and lots of space to sit and relax for awhile. Great for brunch after a workout. read more

Wife wanted to visit The domain in Austin to do some shopping and after a couple of hours she wanted to grab some lunch. She wanted to eat on the healthy side so she chose Bakery Loraine (I wanted burgers) she ordered a Cuban because we had a great Cuban at Cheesecake Factory a few days earlier. This place felt dirty, the vibe from the staff was off putting. There were 3 tables with customers and the rest of the place was empty. Wife ordered the Cuban sandwich with kettle chips and she added a side salad ( per menu it was +2.50) no problem and I just had a unsweet tea. The tables were not clean so we sat at the counter by the front windows facing the street. We noticed when we sat that the counters were sticky and we couldn't find anyone to help clean off the counters. I notice there was some sanitizer spray bottles by the water fountain and used it to clean our section. We had first placed paper napkins across the counter but they quickly got stuck due to the stickiness of the counter. The napkins were not easily removed. The food came out and the plate had no kettle chips and my wife asked the server if she forgot. The server said no you ordered a sub salad and my wife said no she ordered the add on salad for +$2.50. The server then told my wife that she either gets a salad or chips for +$2.50. This is clearly not stated on the menu. My wife then let the server know she would rather have the chips so please take the salad back. The server then brings her some chips and said next time she will only get one or the other (as is we would go back to this sh&t show) see menu pic. My wife noticed the bread was not a traditional Cuban style bread but toast but she ate half the sandwich anyway and some of the chips. My iced tea tasted like mop water ($4) so I took the loss and didn't drink it. read more

This bakery is the epitome of Instagram aesthetics. The interior is trendy, and would make for some cute Instagram worthy brunch pics (which I'm really looking forward to post-pandemic!). We went here early on a Saturday morning to grab some sweets to go before going to a park, so they were slammed with the morning rush. My husband and I ordered the seasonal fruit tart, cinnamon roll, and strawberry pop pastry. The cinnamon roll was fine, you can tell it's well made with perfect flakiness. I just personally prefer a more gooey type of cinnamon roll in terms of texture and filling (so if that's what you're looking for in a cinnamon roll, I recommend skipping on this one). The strawberry pop pastry was the best pop tart I've ever had, hands down. The jelly-like filling was so delicious and surprisingly not overly sweet like your typical pop tart, and the frosting and shortbread tasting crust accompanied it so well. And lastly, the seasonal fruit tart was pretty good. The fruit is fresh and the vanilla mascarpone cream paired with it is heavenly. I need to try their more savory brunch items in the future, and definitely looking forward to trying more of their other pastries. read more

I really like Bakery Lorraine, a good addition to the domain. Breakfast ranges from hearty to healthy to sweet with croque monsieurs, avocado toast, yogurt parfaits or a moist slice of crumb cake. The lunch deal is a half sandwich and soup from 11-2 and is a classic done well. I really enjoy the chicken salad, simple and fresh. My son loves the turkey pesto sandwich, which is huge! All the sandwiches are damn tasty. Other lunch options include their salads, which thus far have been large and refreshing but also satisfying! I want to try some recent menu additions such as the tomato or egg toast. They have tea, coffee and espresso based drinks along with other bottled beverage options. Their desserts really make them shine. Beautiful, perfect and creative. I love the all the cakes i have tried, such as boston creme pie, berry or carrot cake. The caneles are wonderful and the first I have seen in Austin. The donuts, muffins and crumb cake have all delivered flavor and quality. I'd like to try the homemade pop tart and pretty much everything else! Outside seating will have you feeling tres chic! read more

Dear Lorraine, Ever since you stopped whipping up blueberry pie donuts life has been unbearable. I'm thinking about one right now - the thought of not being able to go get one right now gives me the feeling of hopelessness. While I appreciate the strawberry it's just not the same. Perhaps you will one day miss the blueberry pie donuts as much as I do and whip up a batch or two (everyday) and cheer my afternoons up with sugary, blueberry crunchy goodness. Sincerely, Tommy D read more

Consistently great pastries and sandwiches. I just wish they didn't stop doing online ordering for the Domain location.

The avocado toast was terrible. There were lentils in it which was strange and the avocado mash was flavorless. It was extremely pricey, more so than normal. Overall, the lentils ruined it for me read more

Danggg... the breakfast croissant sandwich with scrambled egg and bacon was absolutely amazing! The egg was seasoned right! Croissant buttered and warm. My chai tea latte w/almond milk was delicious too. Great place to come read, chill, and catch up with friends. read more

Red velvet cake - most moist creamy texture I've ever had. Lemon cake - reminds me of key lime pie. Pistachio macaroon - yes, you can taste the pistachio and its aftertaste too. Chocolate tart - strong nutty chocolate and crispy crust, I like this combo. read more

Note: this review is centered on the question "is this the place to get a croissant?". Staff: great! Presentation of goods: great! Everything looks delicious and well put together. Croissants: meh. Not the crispy flaky buttery exterior and moist, stretchy interior I associate with good croissants. These are more like what you get at a grocery store bakery. For reference, I think Sour Duck and Easy Tiger do the croissants right. If I were in the area and wanted to drop in somewhere for a chat with a friend, I might pick this place and get something. The interior is nice- I just wouldn't choose a croissant. read more

Always get excited when it comes to new patisseries in Austin. Visited hoping to pick up a bunch of proper pastries. Plain croissant and pain au chocolat were both tasty, just a bit on the dry side (I did however arrive after 5pm), almond paste in the almond croissant was beautiful, as was the raspberry cheese danish.. strawberry shortcake donut was rather interesting with its layer of jam and crispy crumble topping (not really my cup of tea), lemon Kouign-amann was dainty and sugary and buttery and fell apart in my hands. unfortunately the one macaron I got (cassis) tasted more of refrigerator than cassis. Very lovely space with nice outdoor seating, always a plus in my book. Will be back for coffee and breakfast read more

pretentious little place in a part town overrun with people who patronize such places. coming in the front door the wall displays intentional ink; the 'sweet' menu follows in lock-step announcing "parisian macaron" as if the absence of toasted coconuttery didn't give that away... that being said, we had walked half-way across Domain to get bakery so we were going to give it a go. my sister requested a cuban and I opted for tomato soup plus ham and brie on half a croissant. we found a spot straight away, tables are spaced nicely across the dining room limiting the available seating somewhat and the massive table with the water spigot being three-quarters covered in pie-boxes didn't help but the turn over was such that the folks sitting out in the chill obviously wanted to be ironic. lunch came out, walked past, and did half a lap around the dining room before I managed to flag down the runner. the cuban was authentic - rationed meats on toasted bread plus chips and an excellent pickle spear. tomato soup was quite good, a soup of substance that deserved a better ham sandwich. read more

Baked oatmeal roasted potatoes the best. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered so far. Can't wait to go in person.. Only prob I've come across is delivery options no longer offer orders. Grubhub.

We actually visited this location twice while we were staying in Austin. The first day I had a few macarons and a blondie. The macarons were meh...I would not order them again. The blondie had a good texture and would have been better maybe warm? It just tasted like flour and sugar that had been refrigerated (ya know when it gets that strange taste where you're not quite sure what the flavor is anymore). I must be a glutton for punishment cuz I went the next day thinking maybe it was a one off since I had heard great things about this place. This time I had the lemon cake and a peanut butter chocolate cookie. The cookie was so bad and salty I literally took one bite, spit it out and threw it away. The lemon cake was probably the best thing I had gotten, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. Maybe Bakery Lorraine's strong suit is their hot food cuz it sure isn't the bakery items. Brunch Lorraine instead? Idk...wouldn't waste anymore time or money here. read more

I wish I could give them more stars because the food is great!! The problem is the service. They are too busy talking to each other to notice their customers. There are no less than six people working behind the counter. Not one of them paying attention to the people waiting to order. Maybe there is better luck with a to-go order. read more
