We've been waiting for this spot to open and it didn't disappoint! Quality and quantity of food were great. We ordered several dishes - roasted tomato soup (which comes with a delicious piece of toast covered in bechamel or something), pear salad, and a Cuban sandwich. All were really delicious and very generously sized. Staff personable and took time to answer questions. Dessert case is impressive too - Mexican Hot Chocolate cookie a winner. read more

The food here is amazing. I'll say more on that later. I want to highlight the service. This is my second visit to this location and both times I've been met with wonderful and helpful service. The place is clean! Really clean. On both visits I've seen employees walking around to clean up after people, clearing tables quickly, and stocking the area for water/silverware/napkins/coffee stuff. If I were opening a restaurant, I hands down would want to steal this staff away. ;) Back to the food. This stuff is so good that after we found a location in San Antonio and before Austin got one, my husband would surprise me every once in a while with a breakfast trip down to SA. The almond croissant is my favorite. I'm a big fan of almond croissants and this is probably my favorite one ever. It's flaky and filled with almond cream. It goes perfectly with a hot earl grey tea. My total for the croissant and tea was $6 plus tax and tip. I've seen some reviewers talk about $4 being too much for an almond croissant. I want to know where they normally get them. Starbucks' is cheaper, about half the size, and no where near fresh. These aren't mass produced. If you have never seen how flaky croissant dough is made, please watch a video on it. It'll become VERY apparent why this $4 croissant is, in my opinion, a steal. The amount of labor and butter put in to this thing is astounding - and why I don't make them at home. :D It's faster to drive from North Austin to the SA location to grab one and get back home. Today, they had tasters of cheesecake. Holy cream cheesey goodness!! I'll be getting that sometime when I'm in the mood for dessert - or on a day where I've missed getting the last almond croissant of the day. I have one gripe. It's my gripe with the SA location too. They used to make the most fantastic spinach croissant - available in the pastry case. I dream about that thing! The only other phenomenal spinach croissant I've had was in Seattle. We were so happy to find one in Texas. And now so sad that it's gone. I really wish they'd give it a go here in Austin. I feel like it would do really well. read more

Bakery Lorraine - Cheese croissant with raspberries - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Awful service - kitchen is a complete mess. Order arrived late. And wrong. There are plenty of other great places in Austin ... no need to come here again for me. read more

Best grilled cheese I've had in years! Loved the hint of sweetness from the apricot jam, and the creaminess of the goat cheese. The tomato soup with cheddar toast was also delicious. The soup was a tiny bit too salty but I'm quite sensitive to salt. I can't wait to go back to have this exact meal. The macarons weren't my favorite but I've heard the fruit tart is great. read more

Super Cute aesthetically. The macaroons are perfectly made and really really tasty. I went for the first time two weeks ago and I've been addicted ever since. The paninis are really good and they come with kettle chips. I would def recommend it to anyone planning a coffee date or even a small meeting. read more

This place ranks high for location, atmosphere, staff, and quality. My wife and I have been here twice on Sunday morning and agree that even when it was crowded and the tables fairly close together, it never seemed too loud to carry on a private conversation. It is also a great spot for people watching. The first time I got brewed coffee and the lemon cake which was decadent without being too sweet. The most recent visit I got the Cuban sandwich which was delicious. Wife raved about the avocado toast. We will definitely return. read more

I am a huge fan of brunch food, and bakery Lorraine offers amazing breakfast-brunch type food. The vibe is really chill and their service staff are really courteous and helpful! The food was so good! I was skeptical at first as the price is a little pricey for me, but the portions are pretty big, and the quality is really good. Their coffee is decent, but my friend really likes their tea. I really appreciate that they provide paper straws instead of plastic, and use paper bags instead of plastic. Would definitely recommend this place for brunch lovers. read more

As a pastry and bakery lover, it excites me to see a new spot open near my home. Especially one with such a great reputation as Bakery Lorraine. My husband and I showed up for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The place is really pretty, looks like a french cafe. The pastries and baked goods were all beautiful and we decided to grab a baked good, some coffee and a pastry for later. My latte was fine. Seemed like a bit too much foam, but the taste was good. My husband was pleased with his cappuccino and loved the warmed up cinnamon roll he ordered. I got a basic croissant as it is my favorite baked good and how I like to judge a place. It was just OK. Maybe it doesn't help that I had one of the best croissants in my life the past week, but the croissant tasted old. It could've used a light heating at the very least, but that wasn't offered. Instead, it wasn't very flaky and was slightly cold. I wasn't impressed. What did impress me, though, were the pastries we ate later that night. My husband ordered a chocolate tart that had brownie chunks on it. It was super rich and really, really good. But I don't know if it was as good as the red velvet cake I ordered. It was a fancy sliver of layers of red cake and white frosting. Somehow it was light and fluffy and took all my will-power to eat slowly. I savored the heck out of that thing! Definitely will be back as I am curious about the sammies. It's an odd location in the middle of Rock Rose, which seems like a party area and not a breakfast spot. BUT, in the mornings parking isn't too difficult (we parked right outside) and it is a nice place to wake up with a cuppa. read more

Super cute contemporary cafe with very friendly staff. Unfortunately the chocolate croissant was not good - not flaky or buttery, and the chocolate was hard in a lump in the middle. We returned the croissant for the quiche which was tasty and the accompanying salad was fresh, made with mache, (very French) lightly dressed, perfect. The return of the pastry was handed so nicely. Coffee was just ok. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Clean, light, modern interior. Delicious sounding menu items. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and ordered the White Grits and Croque Madam. The grits came out first after a brief wait. Beautifully presented with a sunny side up egg on top. BUT it was lukewarm at best. We took that back up to the counter. No arrival of the Croque! A few minutes later the grits came back not any warmer but edible. No Croque still! Another few minutes and finally the Croque came out with an apology for the delay. Again beautifully presented with a slight broil mark on the bechamel sauce. BUT this was barely warm too!! Flavor wise, it was all good but they need to get their act together and deliver their food hot with the entrees at or near the same time. I hate to say it but with as many great places to go in Austin, it's highly unlikely we will go back. read more

First, this place overall has excellent food. Their pastries are very delicious. I have had every one of their sandwiches and each one was spot on. And their tomato soup. Secondly, their service is a bit lacking. Though overall they seem nice, sometimes their interpersonal skills are awkward or non-welcoming. I am sure they are working through some training since they are so new. Lastly, they are not the quickest. Myself and colleagues have gone many times and again it seems like they are still getting organized because it looks like everyone is running into themselves trying to figure out stuff. A simple OJ to go took almost 30minutes. I think they just forgot but were not very apologetic. I would recommend focusing on customer service and operational excellence. You have the food down. read more

So glad they brought this bakery to Austin! No more driving to San Antonio to get my fix! Everything about this bakery is top notch: the staff, the baked goods, the food, and the atmosphere. The artwork is unique and the place feels modern and airy. The staff is incredibly helpful and makes great recommendations. Their dark chocolate sea salt donut is literally to die for. It's moist, the chocolate glaze is subtle and the sea salt is a perfect portion. The macaroons are also perfectly done with an array of flavors from your basic raspberry to cereal flavored. They also serve Waterloo and Austin Eastcider to bring a little local love to their menu. They serve breakfast as lunch! read more

We came here to grab some pastries and coffee, walked in and were told they were at capacity indoors, so the young man said he can take our order outside. We didn't mind and stepped outside, but wow. This guys was in SUCH a rush, and kept trying to end our order by saying 'okay and will that be all'. He was even speaking so fast, and it felt like he was pestering us to finish our order in a rush, mind you it was our first time here, and he didn't care to ask or to help us through the menu. Just stood there passively and all he could say was 'okay is that all?' Very off putting and will not return. No sense of customer service. Needless to say, we canceled the 2 things we had just started our order with and left. He didn't even care to be bothered!! He does not need to be in a customer service environment! read more

Everything was so sickly sweet, I ordered 3 things and everything I had was the worst I've ever tasted of what I ordered.

This spot is very Instagram worthy & is how I found this place actually. I loved their outdoor seating, chairs and tables were cute & clean. Pets are also welcome in the outdoor seating. Employees were very helpful and welcoming. I picked out 6 Parisian macarons which was $13. The flavors I chose were cookies & cream, pistachio, earl grey, chocolate & strawberry. All very delicious but my favorite would be the earl grey which is surprising because I'm not a big earl grey fan but the flavor was not overpowering and it was a settle touch! My boyfriend picked out a chocolate chip cookie which was $3, I wish they warmed it up! I got a mocha which was $4.10 and my boyfriend got a latte for $3.75. The mocha was delicious and was a good size for me. The mural on the side of the building is a cute Instagram background as well. read more

This review is for the almond croissant. Incredibly flaky, tasty, and oh so messy! The amount of filling is perfect, not too much but just right. I love the almonds on top and how crunchy and flaky it was. I'm looking forward to going back and sitting on the nice patio while enjoying some of their other offerings. read more

More vegetarian options please. They took off the egg salad with chili and replaced it with Turkish eggs which is the only vegetarian option on the menu. Also with a breakfast place at this scale I feel like the orange juice should be fresh squeezed or at least a brand better than bottled dole read more

I was enamored with their pastries and their hot chocolate. We stopped in and ordered the chocolate sea salt and blueberry pie doughnuts. Both were surprisingly soft and delicious even late in the afternoon as it was. We also ate the canele and kougin aman. The hot chocolate tasted as if it were made with ganache, so it was rich and indulgent as it should be. So, why the two star rating? Well, we returned days later to satisfy my craving for the chocolate sea salt doughnuts. We waited to be greeted or helped for a good five minutes. Not bad, if there's a line, right? Unfortunately there wasn't. No reason why the three employees couldn't help us if we were the only ones who needed help. Shockingly, a woman came from the left side of the counter area, walked in front of us, and the guy behind the counter jumped to assist her! We are, by no means, easily offended or hyper-sensitive when it comes to our race, but even we found it hard to swallow being completely ignored and watching the staff jump to help a caucasian woman who cut the line. My husband was infuriated and escorted me out saying he will never give that place our money again. Terrible disappointment because they showed promise. read more

This is my go-to spot if I want to study near the Domain area or if I want a good brunch with my girlfriends. The view inside and out is very aesthetic - modern & clean. The price is more $$, but it is worth if you are going to treat yourself. There are various types of drink - I like their americano or latte. They also serve various types of delicious macaroons, slices of cake and yummy bakeries. The staff here are usually all very friendly when getting our orders and even when cleaning after our mess. I highly suggest this bakery if you want to socialize or have a cute date :) read more

Cute and open inside with lots of seating. A great addition to Rock Rose. I just stopped in to look without actually intending to buy anything because we just ate but I wanted to see if anything caught my eye. I was going to try one macaroon but decided to just go with a box of 6 - I'm so glad I did because they were all delicious. Seriously each one we ate, and I tried all of them was more delicious than the first. These are probably the best macaroons I've ever had. The flavors were perfect and on point. They didn't taste fake either which sometimes is the case with macaroons. I loved them all and my favorite was the earl grey - which was a first for me and the blueberry violent. They were also all perfect - definitely go and try the macaroons! read more

Good cappuccino but their orange blackberry muffin was average. Also, "Kevin doesn't like to clean dishes after 3pm" is not exactly the answer a customer is looking when requesting a plate for their food. Service can definitely improve read more

Had a morning to get some computer work done at the domain. Normally I will hit the Starbucks. But really that is the same old...Parked across the street from Bakery Lorraine. Nice clean polished atmosphere. Beautiful glass case of beautiful pastries. Had a breakfast croissant and coffee. Great choice. Food was good and fresh. Coffee was good. Workers stayed with cleaning of tables etc. good job. read more

I had been to bakery lorraine a few times in the pearl in San Antonio and was really excited for this one to open up. The first two times I went here I was worried that maybe they wouldn't live up to their expectations. About a month later I tried the domain location out again and MAN, they've got their stuff down now! We bought some Macaroons for a party we were having later that night. We did just one of each flavor, and two of their chocolate cookies. Their cookies have a spice on them, not spicy but they taste peppery in a good way that warms you up. Later on their website I learned it was cayenne SUGAR on top of the cookie. Everyone shared everything at the party because it was that good we all wanted a bite. Now it's time to talk about the macaroons!! Do you know what heaven tastes like? Because I'm pretty sure heaven tastes like bakery lorraine's macaroons. Sure, I've had a macaroon before. But these were delicate, light, tasty delights. read more

The pastries are bad, the service is just okay. I've been here twice, I decided to give them a second chance because it is a very cute bakery and the pastries are beautiful, but it's still not good. First the service: I was in front of two people, one of the three people at the counter took my order while the other two stood there - I just got pastries, already made in the case next to me, and they said it would be right out. They then took the order of the person behind me, also just pastries, and they got them for her while she was at the register, she paid and left with her pastries. Same with the next person. I waited through them getting the orders for the two people behind me before they started getting my order together. Why? it was weird, and kind of rude. Second, the pastries themselves: Not good. The lemon cake I got tasted stale, and the meringue was grainy. The macarons I got were weirdly flavourless, they tasted like sugar and food colouring - the way a food tastes when too much food colouring has been put in - but not at all like the flavours they were supposed to be. I've had macarons from the frozen section of Trader Joes that were better. All in all it was disappointing. It's a cute place, but I wouldn't get the food there :/ read more

In town for a youth baseball tournament and was on the hunt for coffee initially. Bakery Lorraine was behind the hotel and soooo glad it was. Coffee was WAY better than what you'd get from the popular place. Then our eyes caught the baked goods. The cinnamon roll was AMAZING! As was the croissant and the croissant breakfast sandwich. Will definitely be looking to come back the next time we're in the area. read more

A rare breakfast option at The Domain. So far I've really enjoyed the avocado toast and the croque madam. Thick slices of bread on both were so yummy. The pastries on display look amazing but I have yet to succumb to temptation. Very friendly staff makes for an inviting ambience.

Food is ok at the best of times. But what really drops this rating is the staff and management. I used to frequent this place a lot more often because my wife worked at one of the retail stores about a block away but it has steadily gone downhill service-wise. I've seen both staff and management get confrontational with guests. Have heard them talking very openly about how much they don't like other businesses in the area, and have even witnessed them be extremely rude with staff from other businesses that have simply come in to get food. I've even heard one of the employees saying they remember who doesn't tip them well enough and won't give good service to that person again. I understand getting crappy tips sucks as I'm also in the service industry. But that's really unprofessional. Hopefully something will change and either get new management or at least get people retrained on how to be professional at a work place. read more

As soon as you step through the doors, you're greeted with smiles from the staff. I walked in helpless to my sweet tooth and left with a belly full of delicious treats.

Staff is not outwardly friendly, I placed to go order for two Kolache's and arrived 15 minutes after they were scheduled to be ready as I knew BL took awhile to do even the simplest of tasks. I walked in and asked for my order, the girl at the register said "Okay we just put them in the oven" and then I watched as her coworker proceeded to take the kolaches from the case and put them in the oven.... There were 11 employees and 13 customers (I was the 13th) at this point and somehow online orders take thirty minutes longer than expected to be ready? There truly were people standing around doing absolutely nothing, when they should have been fielding online orders or something productive read more

Cute place and so many breakfast and pastry items. But the coffee is not the best. Got a small black coffee and the cold brew with cream and sugar and they both have this weird after taste. read more

I tried this place for the first time today. I was so excited to see a French style bakery at Domain. I ordered a canele and a rum cake. Both were terrible. The canele looked like it was dipped in chocolate. When I saw it up close to eat it, I saw that this was not chocolate at all. It was nearly blackened from being burnt. I can't believe a bakery wouldn't toss out such burnt food. Instead, it was sold to me with a smile and a correction on my pronunciation of "canele." I was hoping the rum cake would be better. It certainly looked better than the burnt canele. It tasted stale as if it had absorbed other flavors in a refrigerator. I am sooo disappointed. I do not recommend this place, nor will I be returning. read more
