This girls lunch felt special from start to finish. The amazing atmosphere stood out right away. The space felt elegant yet comfortable, with soft colors, clean marble tables, and a calm vibe that made it easy to relax and talk. The food looked as good as it tasted. The pastry was fresh, warm, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. It paired perfectly with the wine. The wine list was wonderful. There were plenty of options, and it felt well chosen, not overwhelming. The rosé we had was crisp and light, which worked great for lunch. Service stayed attentive without rushing anything. Overall, this spot works well for a laid back but elevated girls lunch. read more

Don't believe the instagram videos. Save your time and money. I will start by saying the host & waitress were both very sweet girls and it was nice of them to warn us how "backed up" the kitchen was from the start. We came for lunch on a Tuesday at noon, expecting to miss any crowds or waits. There were about 5ish tables seated, so we were confused why the kitchen was so backed up. We both ordered a salad....and waited over an hour and 15 minutes. At this point I could have went to the store to make it myself. Unfortunately the quality was bad on top of the wait times and that's why I am writing this review. I'm disappointed that I brought my family here from out of town, we wanted to enjoy lunch and eat together, but it resorted in her eating cold chicken 20 minutes before me, and me eating lettuce drenched in dressing out of the plastic to-go container, which I didn't ask for They made it right by comping my salad and offering a free cookie, but due to the experience I don't want to give them a second shot. Very disappointed read more

Love the bar layout and atmosphere at brunch, the bartender was friendly and attentive. The Mediterranean Omelet was flavorful and paired perfectly with their crispy potatoes. The Spring Spritz cocktail was amazing. I had the bartender make it with gin instead of vodka, and it came out perfect, light and airy. read more

My friend and I stopped in for brunch and sat at the bar. We both ordered two drinks, it was mimosas for me and cocktails for her. For our entree, we both selected the caramelized onion, feta, and spinach quiche, which came with a small side salad. Unfortunately, the quiche leaned a bit too heavily on the egg and lacked the flavor we were hoping for. We would both opt for another menu option next time. One highlight was the curated wall of goods available for purchase--it was a fun and unique touch that we enjoyed browsing before heading out. read more

Adorable brunch spot in the North Hills area. There's a parking deck close by with 2 hours free. The restaurant is modern and lively. Our waitress was excellent - so kind and patient with us. I ordered a matcha latte which tasted good. The avocado tartine was done very will, the sourdough was a star player and their olive oil was so flavorful. I also ordered a cinnamon roll to go and was actually disappointed when I opened it - borderline burnt with no Ooey gooey middle that I love. Not sure if this was a one off but it was a bummer to spend $10 on! I would love to come back here to try the other menus. read more

Hollllly moly! So delish!! The biscuit and jam was the best I've had in my entire life. Service was quick, and so friendly. The vibe of the restaurant was very chic but in a way that made you feel at home and like you could stay all day! Highly recommend. read more

For a first time, I would have to say I walked away very impressed. Parking within the parking deck, it's a short walk away (via the elevator). We came around 4:30pm, just after the brunch crowd - missing the larger parties and hustle. Well light and clean - I was ready to enjoy our evening. It was quiet with plenty of seating. I have to say Tori was a joy! She provided so much insight to the restaurant, the food, the drinks, and overall just a pleasure to talk to! The menu was simple but provided flavorful choices to choose from - even with someone like me with a few allergies. I will note: the fries as fried in the same grease as the crab cakes - something to take note of. I decided on the Pear and Goat Cheese salad topped with Salmon. It was so fresh and packed with good flavor. The salmon was perfectly cooked as well. I will definitely come back when in the area. read more

Went in right before they started dinner service (dinner starts at 4pm). Waited a bit and then ordered the special of the day which was the short rib gnocchi. The pasta was perfect but the flavor was a little bland. Their "Up to no Good" spicy margarita was delicious, I had two. Service was friendly, they have indoor and outdoor seating. It can be a little complicated to find but your best bet is parking in the attached garage and taking the elevator to the main floor where all of the shops are. read more

I had a little trouble finding the restaurant at first based upon my navigation directions. Once I saw the parking structure I decided to park there and walk over. The parking garage is free and is located near Good Grace's. The parking sign needs to be scanned to validate your parking for a limited time. The restaurant was pretty packed when I arrived during a midday lunch hour. The business was clean and bright. There is also a bar and market inside. I was greeted and seated right away when I entered. My server was friendly and the other employees that I engaged with were very attentive and helpful during my visit. I enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich and the fries even though my fries were warm & not hot. They were seasoned well. I loved the combination of the pickled onions with lettuce and tomato on my sandwich. When I first got my sandwich it didn't have the pickled onions on it. An employee (manager) checked on me as she was walking by and I asked her about the onions and she said she would check and make it over if needed. I thanked her and told her that she could just bring them out and she did. The sandwich came with a side salad even though it wasn't listed on the menu. The brownie & kale Cesar salad were also good. The salad was a nice portion size. The brownie was moist. After taking a few bites of the salad I noticed that there was a lot of lemon on the salad. After several bites it became a little too overpowering for my taste. I did like that the salad had chickpeas on it instead of croutons. After reviewing my receipt I noticed that what I was charged was different for a couple of prices than what's on the menu. I was advised that there was an increase in their pricing. read more

3 stars because the interior is cute and the coffee was good. Food was honestly 2 stars. I had high hopes because the menu has great items but the execution just wasn't there. Homemade biscuit was extremely dry- didn't eat half of it. The giant cinnamon roll looked great, but arrived stale and at room temperature. Won't be back to eat, but the coffee was good and cocktail menu looked interesting. Service was good. read more

This was my third visit to Good Graces and I was excited to be back. The service is great, Charlie was our awesome server around lunchtime on a quiet Wednesday. Good Graces is a very cute restaurant, with a great vibe. It's bright, furnished well, cozy, comfortable and inviting. We all ordered the Chicken Salad sandwich because we had it before and loved it so much. We each decided to add bacon to our sandwich, and a side of French Fries. The French Fries were as good as I remembered from my last visit maybe 4 months ago, but the Chicken Salad has changed drastically. The consistency was different, it was runny. The taste was different, it was more peppery. I was disappointed. I work in the building adjacent and spoke to other colleagues who frequent here more, and they also said the Chicken Salad has changed drastically. My hot brown sugar latte was good. read more

We arrived for an early lunch and even though they were busy we were given a perfectly centered table for two. Tables are spaced apart and restaurant is super cute and cozy. Hostess was polite and seated us quickly. I ordered a latte and it came with a pretty design on top. It tasted delicious. I ordered the cinnamon bun and it was big enough to share. We got two pretty blue drained plates to share it on. Loved everything about restaurant from the kind courteous staff to the chill vibe. Will definitely return to eat other meals. read more

Food is ok. Been twice with two different people and we all took nibbles from each other. So a broad and quick sampling of breakfast and lunch. Sausage is outstanding. Eggs cooked as requested from each table. But taste of eggs was unremarkable. But that's the case for most eggs these days. Turkey sandwich was ok nothing to crow over but serviceable. Coffee is NOT up to 3rd wave standards. Could improve. Overall experience ok. Staff friendly but not overwhelmingly experienced. The ambiance wins the show. Lovely interior and fantastic location. I would recommend with average expectations. read more

I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical coming here. I didn't see much on the menu that I would necessarily like and when we got there, the line was out the door. You order your food and then someone brings it to your table which isn't my favorite set up but was willing to give it a try. I ordered a turkey sandwich and fries with a drink ( I can't remember the drink name). I brought my own mustard packets because I wasn't sure if they had mustard and I NEED mustard on my sandwich, lol. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! I was very pleased! You can tell they use quality ingredients. I would definitely go back!! read more

We came in on a Sunday, it was fairly busy but there is plenty of seating. The aesthetic is great, the chairs & decor is super cute. The pricing is okay, for a "cute" coffee shop experience it's what you expect. The staff was friendly, and the food was good. The egg sandwich was our favorite, the egg bites were a little dry albeit good. The coffee was ok, the cold brew has an interesting flavor (neither good nor bad) and the matcha tastes like any other matcha. I wish the cups sizes were bigger! Overall, a cute coffee shop with great decor and good food. read more

Good Graves service was great. Torey was very personable. Explaining the things to come and even allowed me to order a cocktail not yet on the menu. The Velvet75 was really good with a nice kick. I enjoyed the Winter Harvest Bowl with seared salmon. I really enjoy this. Very good! The roasted carrots, parsnips & turnips were unique and flavorful options to have in the bowl. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. I look forward to trying brunch or lunch one day in the future. read more

Beautiful coffee cafe and little market. Enjoyed a work meeting early in a Tuesday morning and was seated right away. I enjoyed a vanilla matcha latte and my colleagues enjoyed a latte and cappuccino. We decided not to eat, but the menu did look yummy for breakfast. They also have a large bar area, variety of seats/tables from half booths to high top tables. On the left hand side they have a market of food items to purchase. read more

Had a great burger there before and just got their espresso today and it is delicious!

A new cafe and bar for the North Hills Innovation District (NHID), Good Graces is doing a lot of things right after opening! Modern, clean and organic interior with a lot of warm wood. They offer a selection of pastries and sandwiches along with beer and wine by the glass. On the side, Good Graces offers a nice selection of NC made groceries and snacks. Overall it's a clean interior with plenty of space to stretch out in. Patio outside allows you to people-watch and prices are super reasonable after opening ($4 to $6 for a beer). Definitely would like to come back for another visit to see what they do with their food menu! read more

The cinnamon roll is incredible!! 4 stars definitely just for this, I even reheated it 3 days later and it was still great. I had high hopes for the breakfast sandwich with focaccia but the bread was underwhelming it was a biscuit essentially. The pimento was amazing but there wasn't enough and it was only on one side of the sando. I'd definitely come back for the cinnamon roll and maybe some festive cocktails. read more

Cute little brunch spot with good pricing and yummy drinks - we had an espresso martini (I had the traditional version but they have a special brunch one), the breakfast bowl - the potatoes in it were really tasty (would have liked it to be heavier with the egg portion), and the avocado toast (very filling). Will be back! read more

Loved good graces! We came here on a Saturday morning for and everything was delicious! We missed breakfast so we ended up getting lunch and got the chicken salad sandwich which was amazing, and vanilla lattes. I meant to get decaf but didn't by mistake, but it was a good amount of caffeine and not too strong at all! Service came out fairly quickly and staff checked up on us outside pretty often. The vibe is like fun classy, with a little market inside and pretty decor!! read more

Cutie spot! I went for their small plates menu after work one weekday. It was busy because there was also a mahjong event going on, but not too busy that we couldn't get a table.
