Chocolate cupcake
Steve H.

Stopped in to check this place out and let me tell you the cake slices and cupcakes are over the top. They have several different kinds of slices and cupcakes to choose from. The cake slices are absolutely huge and the amount of frosting is insane. We decided to try the cupcakes this trip. I got the strawberry one as no my wife got a chocolate one that had what looked like a Girl Scout cookie on top. The frosting is sweet but not too sweet and very delicious. The owner was behind the counter and she was the nicest lady. We will definitely be back

Banana Pudding abs cookies & cream cupcakes

Just left this establishment and did not purchase because the young lady there had a terrible attitude. She needs customer service training. We purchased from here before and it was delicious but because of here attitude we decided to just walk away this time.

Slice of sweet potato pound cake
Mia G.

I heard rave reviews about this place on social media, so I decided to give them a try while I was in town. The cashier was friendly and informative, especially after she found out I was visiting from out of town. They're in a quiet, easily accessible location and they have a TON of sweet treats to choose from. It was SO hard for me to decide, so I just sent with the sweet potato pound cake. It was a decent-sized slice and really tasty. BUT...coming from southern California where EVERYTHING is overpriced...literally EVERYTHING ...I felt this cake slice was way overpriced. I paid the added tax + gratuity as well. So my final total was almost $14...for ONE slice of cake. Seems like catering and event orders are their specialty. That might explain the price point? I'm not sure. The selections were visually aesthetic and the slice I had was tasty...just...not a reasonable price-point in my opinion. At this rate...a full pound cake would be well-over $150. That's madness! I made it a goal to support only Black-Owned businesses on this trip. But, the next time I'm in town, I'll be skipping Madame B's and trying some other black-owned dessert spots instead.

Banana pudding cupcake
Kierstyn M.

This woman is serving up heaven in every bite! First off, I think this woman is so extremely friendly and welcoming. She greeted me like I was a friend even though this was my first time walking into the store and was so kind while talking with me. She was patient with me whole I decided which of her amazing cupcakes I was going to take home with me. I decided on 3 cupcakes (Wednesdays are buy 2 get 1 free), 2 slices of cakes, and a house made lemonade. I ordered a banana pudding, blue velvet, and strawberry shortcake cupcake. Then the banana pudding and strawberry lemonade cake slice. There is so much love and flavor in each of these items that I can't even accurately describe to you how delicious they are. You'll just have to go and try them yourself. I promise if you stop in, you will absolutely fall in love with the food, the owner, and the atmosphere created here.

Custom bluey cake
Zeta B.

I love it here, I had a bluey custom cake and cupcakes made. When I say beyond delicious and beautiful design, I loved it. Thank you so much for your amazing service, I highly recommend trying this place out.

I finally made it here!

Madame B's piqued my interest when I saw her on the news. I made my way over on a Friday afternoon. The bakery was empty, as I was the only customer. The bakery was clean, with nice Valentin's decor. I felt a warm welcome and kindness from the person who assisted me. I came for the Red Velvet. While there, I could not resist adding the banana pudding since it was recommended. I also got the cinnamon roll cupcake. I enjoyed my red velvet cake taste as the texture was how I liked it - smooth, soft, and creamy sweet icing - I assume cream cheese. As a true southern belle, I prefer BP warm (the Southern way). I come from a cooking family (very good cooks), so I'm not easily impressed. I enjoyed the BP chilled, surprisingly but was taken aback because I could not see bananas. BP is something I've never ordered from a bakery, so I found out this was standard. My sister enjoyed the cinnamon roll cupcake as well. Overall, the service and all the desserts I tried were delicious. The desserts are very rich, so I could not finish anything in one sitting. It took about 2-3 sittings to finish the desserts in two days.

3/17/23: VERY DISAPPOINTED! I heard of this place by following Chimetime on Facebook/IG. He's a food blogger & had mostly good things to say about this place. That along with their Yelp rating had me go out of my way today to try them out today. I was so excited to try them!! The lady at the counter was very nice. They had a good flavor selection of cake slices and cupcakes. I settled on 3 cake slices in lemon pound cake, Triple Chocolate, & Banana Pudding flavors. I couldn't wait to dig in, but I held it together until I got off of work. I let my boyfriend try his banana pudding cake first. Disappointment #1!!! It was dry but had good flavor. He gave it a 3.5/5. Next, was the Triple Chocolate. OMG!! It was so dry and tasted old/stale. Disappointed yet again. Lastly, we tried the lemon pound cake. It was moist and the flavor was good. I'd give that a 4/5. To have paid $9 a piece for these cake slices, I expected MUCH better. $30 for stale/dry cake slices is unacceptable. As much as I love cake, I will probably never come here again. I would've been better off going to the store to buy the ingredients to make my own cakes. I'm sure I would've come out cheaper too. So much for satisfying my sweet tooth.

Some of the best Red Velvet cupcakes in Raleigh! I tried one in the car and had to make a U-Turn for more lol. Seriously good.

Cupcakes I ordered
Tasheena B.

If you've got a sweet tooth, Madame B's dessert bar is for you! Upon entering, I was greeted with a huge smile and the smell of sweet treats! I didn't know where to start, so I ordered just about one of everything. I first tried the cinnamon roll cupcake which was good. The icing was a bit too sweet, but the cake was everything and more! After that I tried the banana pudding and let me tell you. It was top 2, and not number two. Lastly, I took a bite of this humongous biscoff cookie and that was more of my speed. I would recommend trying Madame B's. Overall I give the 4 out of 5 stars! Desserts I've tried : 1. Banana Pudding 2. Strawberry Banana Pudding 3. Assorted Cupcakes 4. Biscoff cookie 5. Lemonade

Cupcake counter
Corey R.

Ok let me tell you I'm not big on sweets but Madame B's will have you cheating on your diet (LOL). At this point we go almost every week for a sweet treat. Usually we go on Wednesdays for the cupcake special and a red velvet cheesecake. The red velvet cheesecake is not pictured because it's a local favorite, if you don't get there early it's a good chance they will be sold out. Service is always great the staff give you an at home vibe. And they always replace my cupcake counter and let me bring multiple in to redeem my free cupcake. If you're local or just in town to visit stop by Madame B's Bakery and thank me later!

They were good enough that I decided I needed to visit the bakery myself. The shop did not disappoint. I ordered a decaf Americano and took my time looking around. For the road, I picked up a half loaf sesame pan, butter, and goat cheese--a simple combination, but one that seemed like the perfect way to appreciate the quality of the baking. What struck me most is the attention to ingredients and technique. Boulted mills its own flour, works with organic and heirloom grains, and relies heavily on natural fermentation. The breads are baked with a beautifully dark, deeply caramelized crust that delivers considerably more flavor than the pale, overly uniform loaves found at many bakeries. Something is reassuring about a bakery that doesn't try to overcomplicate things. Great flour, careful fermentation, skilled hands, and a hot oven. The results speak for themselves. I was impressed by Boulted Bakery. The quality is top shelf, and the pastries that first introduced me to the place were no fluke. This is clearly a serious bakery, and well worth a visit.

Walking into the cocktail bar/dessert lounge it feels trendy, dim-lit, like something that belongs in a very large city (but glad to have it in Raleigh), and 21+ as I was asked for my ID at the door. Once you walk in, definitely have your ID ready and then you will be seated. A server will then come by your table to take your order. For drinks, I ordered the Fireside Old Fashioned (Maker's 46, cayenne, chili-pepper sugar, Crude smoke-salt bitters) and my partner ordered the Chai Espresso Martini (house-made chai tea, vodka, sweetened espresso). Both drinks were excellent and well made. The old fashioned had a nice full bourbon taste and a really nice spicy flavor at the end each sip. For deserts, we ordered the s'mores sundae (torched house-made marshmallow cream, Valrhona dark chocolate brownie, vanilla ice cream, toasted graham) and the Caramel Apple Cupcake. The Caramel Apple cupcake was good but was more like a muffin vs. a cupcake and was on the dry side. The s'mores sundae was excellent and had so much chocolate flavor. Overall, would highly recommend checking out Bittersweet if you are around the Downtown Raleigh area looking for a nightcap or dessert bar.

The café has a seating area if you want to dine in, though I ordered to go. When you enter, the display cases showcase the day's creations of artisanal pastries and savory gourmet sandwiches. The service was incredibly friendly, and the staff member carefully packaged my order so nothing would shift. I tried five of their signature macarons--Apple Cheesecake, Maple Vanilla, Earl Grey Citrus, Root Beer, and Pomegranate -- and also got a Rice Krispies treat with chocolate, a traditional éclair, and a rich brownie. These are definitely not your ordinary desserts; they are high-quality, masterfully executed works of art, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. They also offer a full selection of coffee and other premium beverages. While I lucked out with a spot near the shop, keep in mind that downtown street parking can be tight at times.

Fun fact: the owner named the Patisserie by combining his two daughter's middle names. When you walk in you'll feel like you've been transported to Brooklyn with a touch of Parisian elegance mixed with downtown industrial vibes. To order you'll walk up to the counter and place your order. Once your order is placed you'll grab a seat wherever there is an open table. For coffee I ordered the vanilla latte and my partner ordered the iced caramel latte. The vanilla had a nice balance of flavor and the ceramic cup was a nice touch. For pastries my partner ordered the cookie and the ham & cheese croissant. Both were excellent, with the cookie being more of a shortbread cookie with dark chocolate and the croissant having great flavor and plenty of ham and cheese. I ordered the Nun'Ya Biscuit which was like nothing I've ever ordered before. It was a biscuit seasoned with smoked cheddar cheese, breakfast sausage, scallions, and complete with sausage gravy inside the biscuit. You definitely need to order the Nun'Ya Biscuit if you stop by Lucettegrace. Definitely looking forward to our next time visiting Lucettegrace. Highly recommend checking out this coffee shop if you are in Downtown Raleigh.

I honestly felt like they couldn't wait for me to leave the store which is a very odd and uncomfortable experience. Oddly enough, the case was kind of empty. They had their signature cinnamon rolls and pecan buns, which are always on point, but the vibe was really off today.
