EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to cover it. We had the Sticky Bun Croissant (topped with buttercream icing and a caramel-y, slightly hardened bottom) and--HELP JESUS. That thing is PHENOMENAL. Like... immediate silence once we started eating. We also grabbed a slice of the 15-layer chocolate cake (layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse) and it was straight-up fantastic. Even the bottled drinks were great--I had a sparkling pink grapefruit drink that was really good. My husband previously had the carrot cake bread pudding and still talks about it like it changed his life. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING we tasted was nothing short of amazing. We literally went back 20 minutes later to grab something to bring to my mother-in-love who lives in another state. That's how serious it was. They also have a few celebratory alcoholic beverages if you're grabbing items for a party, event, or special occasion. And they make beautiful baked goods for events too, so definitely check them out if you've got something coming up. Lady Ray's also offers tea parties! You do need to book in advance, but the setup was so intimate, elegant, and cute. I didn't take a photo of the party while it was happening, but I was genuinely impressed. Such a fun idea for a girlfriends' outing. And Lady Ray herself? Absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. Her friendly demeanor, great sense of humor, and service-oriented heart make you want to come back again and again. If you're anywhere near Lady Ray's, I highly recommend stopping by. Your taste buds will thank you.

My fiance and I did "Tea for Two" at Lady Ray's and had a great time! It was served in 3 courses by…read morethe owner herself, who was so lovely and friendly. The first course was a delicious earl grey with scones, the second was a chamomile tea with the tea sandwiches (YUM), and the third was either a cinnamon tea or a peppermint tea with all the sweets (I'm sure the variety may change over time). We were super full by the end and couldn't even finish half of all the goodies, so we got a to-go box to take the rest home. For the price ($38.99 per person) it was nice to get so much to eat and drink!

There were all kinds of treasures and craft projects and sparkly things that caught my eye! I was fortunate enough to get to meet one of the co-owners as she was there working diligently to whip up the next batch. She was a true gem! I love meeting strong, motivated women doing big things in their local environment! She even let me taste one of the salted caramel macrons and it was TO DIE FOR seriously?!? I forgot to mention at the stuff store they feature local artists and local craftsman so this little shop is a must see a highlight on a trip to the Emerald Coast. And it's right down the street from Henderson State Park. If you visit Henderson's don't get stuck like I did without a reservation. You can go online and book in advance so that when you arrive at the park, you can go ahead in.

She the offered to open the store and show me a little pie cake she'd whipped up from left over batter that morning. A test run she said. I bought it! It was delicious and fresh. Chocolate cake, chocolate pudding and whipped cream ice cream. Perfect for what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised at her willingness to go out of her way to help me.

Both of those were super dry cake donuts and the red velvet tasted nothing like red velvet tasted like a basic dry cake donut. Sad I really wanted to like them but I was just disappointed.
