I first encountered Boulted Bakery at a morning meeting, when a colleague generously brought in a…read morebox of croissants and other baked goods. 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.

When I arrived and asked about them, I was told they either don't make them anymore or didn't have any available. Instead, I ordered a chocolate cake and an apricot macaron.

Service was top notch with friendly folks greeting you the moment you enter the doors. Our bartender was so sweet and so welcoming. Had me a $10 Paloma cocktail that was just right and went to town on dessert. Everything was just delicious. Fresh made whip cream, perfectly balanced sweetness with the desserts and cute atmosphere. Loved my first time here and it won't be my last!

I ordered the pumpkin crème brûlée and the chai espresso martini…read more The pumpkin crème brûlée was good flavor-wise, but unfortunately, the sugar on top wasn't properly caramelized into that signature crunchy layer. Without that contrast in texture, it ate more like a pumpkin custard or pudding than a traditional crème brûlée. As for the chai espresso martini, it was okay, but the flavors were a bit muted. My friends ordered some of the other espresso martini flavors, and after trying theirs, I found those to be much more flavorful. The chai version just didn't stand out in comparison. Overall, neither was bad, but both left a little to be desired. I'd definitely choose a different espresso martini flavor next time.

This place has been on my list for over 6 years and I finally made(few visits over the last few…read moremonths) just can't get enough. I loveeee their pastries, especially the mini ones. I think the last couple times I went it was almost closing time so they were out of a majority of the goodies. I do dream their minis ! The before Dubai pastry was exquisite! Now that I see the video again I wonder how I missed the key lime pavlova The service is always quick and friendly, there's nice seating and I do see some peeps with their laptops or just catching up, and frankly I somehow can't remember more about the ambience just the array of desserts calling my name. We always run in and out as we try and make a pitstop whenever we are close so, just in and out with a plan to savor the grub at home, but end up eating at-least one in the car before driving off. 10/10 recommend!

lucettegrace is a contemporary French patisserie located on Salisbury Street in Downtown Raleigh…read more Renowned former Umstead pastry chef Daniel Benjamin opened it in 2014 and named the shop after his daughters, Lucette and Grace. 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.

For this weekend's edition of coffee shop Saturday, I chose Yellow Dog and I'm so glad I did…read more Yellow Dog is located in a really busy location. There are several other businesses that share the small parking lot, so parking is slim. It's super cute and cozy inside with a few tables. There's also a few tables outside. I was greeted right away by the awesome staff. My daughter and I both ordered iced coconut lattes, she has a 12oz, I had a 16oz, and I ordered a slice or coffee cake to go. After my first sip, I wished there was a 24 oz. That was the best iced latte ever!!! The coffee cake was so perfect, but made me wish I had a hot latte to accompany it...I'll have to go back!! I'm super made at myself for not buying any of their bread or any of their other locally or in house made goods, everything looked so fresh & delicious.

There was a " what are you doing here you don't belong here" kind of look etched over her face which is a surprise because I've been a customer ever since they opened and while I'm not a regular for to remember my face I am a part of the community, even if I don't look like it. Whatever preconceived look she was expecting I don't know. I'm not expecting anyone to smile like I'm someone's long lost relative, but I am hoping in this world to be treated with kindness that I offer as well. Civility would be welcome. 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.

Before you know it, you're thinking about what to eat or take home, and you were just there for coffee. Yikes! First off, all the pastries are made right at Asali. From what I understand, nothing is made outside the café. My favorite breakfast is their egg and cheese croissant. It's always just the right temperature. So good, you might even use your fingers to pick up and eat all the flakes that fall off. The staff is super friendly and even answers any questions you have about how they make their drinks. Speaking of drinks, you can pretty much get anything you want. Regular coffee, pour-over, all sorts of lattes--hot or cold. This is one of the reasons why I return time after time. The staff's ability to be creative and add some wow factor to your drink. Asali might just be the best cafe in the entire Raleigh area.

The menu and selections here was more than I expected, so I think you're be able to find something for everyone here. Plenty of outlets and free wifi for coworking. I think the drinks here are pretty good. I liked how the lattes are sweet and there is a mixed of caffeinated and caffeine free tea options. I also like how there is some outdoor seating. Yes to the pistachio baklava for me- it's delicious and the texture is what I would expect. The carrot cake was decent too. Skip the Dulce de Leche cake because it was too dry and pass on the kanafa too since it was also dry for me and not bad but not good and I know it can be better elsewhere. Parking can be a little bit of circling, especially on the weekends and evenings because it is an area with other businesses but usually I had no issues.
