Full disclosure: I came here a few days after I got home from a trip to France, so my taste buds had been spoiled for a week. I was disappointed in the texture of the almond croissant, and it was slightly overcooked...I'm actually surprised they could sell the one I got because it had black burnt edges. My lavender coffee was the shwaest part about the whole place. But I have to say it was overpriced it's quality. It's a cute place to hang out or get work done though. read more

Amazing! Top notch pastries. It feels like you're in Europe enjoying some legitimate fresh baked goods.

A nice little French bakery in downtown Raleigh....to take a little break with a nice few sweet selection... and just a very short walking distance from the popular Bida Manda & Brewery Bhavana....these 3 places is close to each other...just in case you need some ideas to go for lunch or dinner and grab some sweets at th3 same time...but only have so little time We had a nice quick stop at Lucettegrace and we can see that their macarons are popular....mostly people come and look for their macarons...and go with it. You gotta try their Kouign-amann and my favourite Canelés....with a nice cup of coffee...oh yeaaah...what a perfect pair. So go and check this place....it won't dissapoint you read more

[Coronavirus review] Open for takeout; there was a capacity limit but given how creepy and deserted downtown Raleigh presently is, I wasn't in danger of pushing them over it. The selection of pastries and macarons made choosing difficult. Fortunately, I was buying for a group so I basically ordered one of everything. The salted caramel brownie I took for myself was luscious, and the cookie was far beyond a normal cookie. The rest of the box disappeared appropriately. They had a lunch selection as well, but I imagine I would get something sweet if I were back in the neighborhood regardless. read more

You have to get the baklava croissant. The flavors were outstanding and the crispiness of the pastry, oh my gosh. The latte was incredibly smooth and delicious. If I lived in Raleigh this would be a dangerous spot for me! read more

Kinda pricey, but the kouign-amann was good. Baklava croissant was decent. Best of both worlds really was good.

I can't recall the name but I tried a flourless chocolate cake with raspberry (about $8-9). It was beautiful to look at and the presentation was certainly there but it just tasted alright. True score of 3.5 as it was beautiful and I enjoyed the fresh raspberries but the cake was lacking for me. The shop was nice and I enjoyed the window seats. I plan to revisit and try another pastry. read more

Lucettegrace - Flourless Chocolate Cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Super cute cafe, but the pastries were just not good. We got a tiramisu, carrot cake (super yuck), and a chocolate dessert. I forgot what it was called but that was the only good thing. The carrot cake was nasty, I feel like it's been in the case forever, the frosting lacked body and the tang of the cream cheese, the cake part was bland and had a weird flavor to it. I'm glad I didn't get the macarons because if they were the same quality as the carrot cake I probably would have cried I didn't try any of the food or drink so I can't comment on that. read more

We love the pastries and coffee here, and try to visit at least once a month! Although it is pretty far away from where we currently reside, we love the desserts so much that we make it there to enjoy their delicious macaroons! I wish we lived closer. read more

So cute inside, food and drinks are amazing. Food and drinks came straight to our table and very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Oh my word! Just discovered this sweet spot today and had some of their pastries and cafe mocha with oat milk. The Cafe mocha was perfect! And my friends recommended that they have the best koign amman (which i never had before) which is a butter pastry originally created in Brittany, France. I am in love! And we had some chocolate mouse dessert which was luscious! I was eyeing the macarons but will come back for it another day! I will be back, for sure! read more

The coffee is delicious! I love that they have honey as an option in the self-serve station.

Lucettegrace is a lovely patisserie in downtown Raleigh. The pastries are delicious, freshly baked and their displays are eye catching. My husband and I chose a few baked goods to take home. Their Pain Au Chocolat was flakey with a delicious chocolate center. The macarons have incredible flavor and are the best ones I've bought in the triangle area. I liked their iced latte, the coffee wasn't bitter and was refreshing for a hot day. The interior is inviting with sunny yellow seating. Luccettegrace is well worth a visit to the City of Oaks. read more

This place is amazing. I've only ever done a curb order. Not even sure if they have seating inside. It's a little pricey but worth it for a nice occasion. Everything I've ever ordered has been great. read more

Sandwiches brought me back to Paris and the tomato soup was amazing! The kids liked all their "sweet treats" too. We will be back!

I came here to pick up some fresh pastries and they looked beautiful and tasted better than I expected! Im pretty picky about what I like but the blonde brownie was so delicious and unique ( it looked like a cupcake with hard chocolate at the top and some mousse in the middle and brownie at the bottom) and the almond croissant was so tasty. My mom stole some of the pastries I bought before I got a chance to try the others and she also mentioned it's really good and wants to go back . I wish I took pictures but we are everything so fast. We have definitely found our new spot. read more

Back for another after dinner dessert after dinner nearby. The Taormina was absolutely scrumptious! Sacher torte (an Austrian chocolate cake) is layered with raspberry gelee, dark chocolate mousse and topped with dollops of pistachio bavaroise (Bavarian cream), then garnished with fresh raspberries, slivers of dark chocolate and speckles of gold leaf. Almost too pretty to eat..... Well, almost. This is THE place for fancy dessert. Worth the calories! read more

+ great coffee + some pastries were good, like the apricot danish and garlic cream cheese bread + good service - limited parking - curry chicken sandwich was too salty - macarons were below average -- filling was somehow too salty? - chocolate chip cookie was too soft and not crispy/chewy Cute bakery, but think there are better options in RTP! read more

I've been a long time patron of Lucettegrace and I've really enjoyed this bakery. To start off it's in a unique space (love the window seats!!) and in the heart of downtown making it a frequent for employees of nearby businesses on break. The many bakers there are very talented and friendly and you'll always be treated nicely here. As for the food it's really good! They have amazing pastries and sandwiches and if you're looking for something fancier for your pallet you can indulge in some of the gorgeous cakes and tarts! Sometimes some of the rotating items can be hit or miss but for the most part they stay consistent. Heads up they can be a bit pricy!! The only negative to this place is that its prone to echoing and they often crank the music way up. read more

So not from NC, I come to visit Raleigh and decide to come to this coffee shop! Service was good, dirty tables, no one cleaned them. I moved some dirty plates and I was told that the table wasn't sanitized. You would think they would come clean it since there was a party of 6 waiting to sit; NOPE! Eventually I asked for napkins and sat down! One thing I didn't like was that the employee used the same gloves to touch everything including our foods, never did he change his gloves. Next order came in and with the same glove he continued, so much for me not sitting on a non-cleaned table right! While enjoying our half ass cappuccino's and chocolate mousse cakes, I needed to make sure that the cake didn't have peanuts (I'm allergic) I went towards the window show case, an old rude man was standing a couple of feet away from where I was heading to. I went around him and look at the ingredients and went bout my way back to my kids. The old rude man screamed at me "there are rules BITCH" of course when I returned his owns words to him he got offended. Eventually, the rude man left! Beware this place not only has poor customer service but also allows WOMEN with Kids to be disrespected! Just in case you run into him here is his pic!!! Oh and to top it off, my family, kids and all got kicked out, but the old man who rudely offended me in front of everyone didn't! read more

Wonderful coffee! The staff was very friendly! We are in Raleigh on vacation and this place was perfect!:)

What a great place! The atmosphere was fun, but the real star were the pastries and desserts. I got the baklava croissant and an iced mocha. The baklava croissant was delicious! The outside was slightly crunchy and had chopped pistachios. The location was also on the way from the Amtrak station to the museums, which was very convenient. I would definitely recommend. :) read more

This place has a cool vibe. Very nice help at the counter. Answered our questions and when we couldn't pronounce "tarte aux agrumes" she reassured us we weren't the only ones haha! We got one of the "Tarte aux agrumes" which is a lemon tart. Phenomenal! We also got the "cacao et cafe" it's basically dark chocolate brownie cakes with some amazing mousse toppings and just I would sell a kidney for a the large one. That's how great it was. We also got some macarons. They unfortunately weren't the greatest they tasted pretty stale :( I would come back for another try read more

Lucettegrace is a high end pastry shop. In France, it would be a pretty good patisserie, their items are . Items rotate here, so if you really like something, be sure to tell them so they'll keep it around more. The range of items varies from simple croissants and muffins up to multi flavor crème gateaux, such as the current l'reviens, which is a brownie cake base, crème brulee, coffee sponge with irish creme, covered in a dark chocolate glaze. It is rich, decadent and way over the top as a fine pastry should be. At the same time, they also have some full lunch items such as a ham and cheese pastry. The mix of items is eclectic. Lucettegrace is a small shop and normally has very little inside seating, so takeaway is highly recommended even in normal times. Recommended. read more

I come here more or less every day because it's that good. My favorites are the baklava croissant, the lucettegrace iced coffee (it has sweet condensed milk, soooo good), and the sweetened lebanese iced tea. I also liked the sexy gardener (it's the name of a croissant I swear) and the iced chai. read more

Such a lovely morning coffee run at the most adorable coffee house, Lucettegrace, located on Salisbury Street in Raleigh! Pictured here is their Ham and Cheese croissant, an Americano, macarons, and a brown butter Rice Krispie treat! That croissant was flaky, buttery, and the perfect ratio of ham to cheese. The macarons are probably some of the best I've had, soft, sweet, and the taste matched the name/flavor perfectly. And the Brown Butter Rice Krispie treat with French chocolate bits will make your taste buds sing; it is a beautiful combination of salty and sweet! read more

The little old lady (or at least looks old to me) with brown glasses who is pissed all the time you know who youvare! Your energy is static, try to smile once in a while and stop looking at people like you hate them. Was there for 1st time with my wife, man, her attitude belongs with the 12 trash cans a couple shops down stinking up the area. NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY, AS THERE IS NO RAMP FOR ACCESS. read more

This place has great little fancy desserts. I love the salad and the tomato soup. The croissants and sausage and gravy balls are amazing. I also like the Italian baguette. I do not enjoy their macrons though. They do not taste like anything but everything else is top notch. The rice crispy treat is fantastic as well. I do wish they have more sandwhich options though. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came in on a cold Saturday and ordered the lunchbox. The food came quick and the staff were very friendly. This is a smaller spot but they make it easy and comfortable for single diners with a corner bar top. The music also added to the mellow and relaxed Saturday vibes that were there. Happy to say I'd come back for more read more

Yum! How can you turn these absolutely gorgeous pastries down? We were originally only going to try one pastry but couldn't narrow down all of the delicious choices to one. We ended up getting the strawberry, raspberry, & rhubarb croissant, salted caramel brownie, and a Ukranian inspired sunflower seed flavored macaron. WOW. So the salted caramel brownie is what caught our eyes at first and, while it's good, it was a bit dense. Would be perfect with a scoop of ice cream! The croissant and macaron though? Mwah, chefs kiss, pure perfection. Light and sweet but not overly so and just pure perfection. I've never come across a sunflower seed macaron and it is my new addiction. SO good! read more

Stopped in with friends after lunch today to have dessert, and a coffee. Some of the stuff we wanted to try was sold out, understandably, as it was later in the afternoon. We decided to each order something different and then share. We ordered a coconut frangipane, macaron, la Mia torta, and another dessert. Nothing really stood out about any of the things we tried. Basically, one was a cream puff without the cream, one was a Samoa Girl Scout cookie without the caramel, and the cake was a Ferraro Rocher with cherries and a macaron. The cake was for sure the best out of everything we tried, but for $6.95, it should have been :) I'm giving it an extra star for ambiance, and service. read more

This is one of the cutest bakeries in Raleigh! Its yellow and neutral interior designs are so adorable. All of their pastries looked gorgeous and yummy. I was conflicted lol I tried the morning bun, lemon + grapefruit scented sugar, sour cream, and I absolutely loved it! It was sweet and delicious. Friendly staff, quick service, and free wifi! The only thing is they have limited parking but for the wonderful experience, long walk was totally worth it (: read more
