An unassuming cafe at the corner of Martin and Salisbury. I had the Nun'Ya Biscuit and it's like a combo between the cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster and your granny's sausage gravy. Absolutely delicious, I could have eating ten! Pro-tip pull the top "muffin" part off and dip it into the gravy filling inside. I also got two macaroons, the lemon Poppyseed and the Violet Greek Yogurt. The lemon one was sweet and tart and the violet one had almost like a floral taste both were great! And to drink I got a chai latte with oat milk, super strong chai taste and not too sweet. Super quick and friendly service. There's plenty of seating, WiFi and outlets available. Perfect for knocking out some work. read more

We tried three items: the lemon tart, the Italian sandwich, and the daily pastry. Everything was fresh, especially the pastries, they were some of the freshest we've had. Great quality, and we'd definitely come back to try more. read more

Still a fantastic cup of coffee, bakery, and lunch spot. I was with two others and we needed coffee and lunch. I ordered the ham & cheese on a baguette, iced coffee, and mocha cheesecake. The bread items were so yummy and fresh. It is clear the chef has pastry experience. The atmosphere is friendly, clean, and open. Plenty of pastries, macarons, coffee options, and lunch. Shop local! read more

Great location, abundant seating AND outlets at every seat practically. The Toulouse ham sando can be warmed up, 10/10. They offer all the classic cafe drinks and have a good assortment of fine teas. Will definitely come back, great place to work, albeit music is loud. read more

I was in the area and needed a place to hang at for a little bit so decided to go to lucettegrace. I appreciated the ambiance: it was casual, lots of sunlight and seating, very open. But I felt like their pastry and drink selection seemed a little limited (there weren't many syrup options either). I decided to just get an iced vanilla latte, which was admittedly tasty and pretty classic. Also got the morning bun, which was the most perfectly flaky, crunchy, and sweet with rich chocolate and tart raspberry jam. Service was fast. 8/10 would recommend in a pinch! read more

This is the place for local politics happenings. It's located downtown near the court house and I overheard some Josh stein for governor staff next to me talking about the campaign--so Lucettegrace passes the vibe check! They play Taylor swift and one direction so the music is popping. Love the ambiance and vibe, service was so good. WiFi password is "pastries" which makes sense because the pastries are so good. I'll be coming here every morning of my conference to try as many as possible! The baklava croissant was delicious. Also a fan of their eponymous iced latte. Sweet but not overly so. Perfect place! read more

Came here off a heavy recommendation while downtown Raleigh. Considering it was cold out, coming to a local coffee shop was just what we wanted. You can view to accompanying photos to see the inside, it's really tasteful and the ambiance is calm and chill. We noticed the cleanliness of this establishment is top notch (including the bathrooms). Service was great, just one worker behind the counter but she was able to keep up. She was so friendly and helped us with ordering what we were in the mood for. I got the Lucettegrace HOT coffee which is two espresso shots with steamed condensed milk. This is exactly what I was looking for and one of the best sweet hot coffee drinks I've had. We also got a chai tea latte which was absolutely delicious. Now on top of the bomb drink experience we got a pastry which I forgot the name of however what was awesome was that the girl ended up giving us a free baklava croissant. This was so unexpected but much appreciated. "I'll be back!" - Arnold Schwarzenegger read more

Fresh full flavored menu items are made from scratch. The croissant was buttery and flaky to the taste paired with the curry chicken salad made this light snack amazing.

Unisex restrooms were immaculate clean as with the entire establishment but clean well stocked and organized. Definitely will be returning. read more

Decided to get a sweet treat and found Lucettegrace. Couldn't decide what to get, so we got the sampler. O.M.G. Everything was spectacular! Pecan tarts, bourbon maple cheesecakes, chocolate layer cake and the carrot cake. Would visit again and again if I lived here. read more

Slightly disappointed by their lack of milk and flavor options. The barista also mixed up the drink orders and made them wrong the first time, and although she amended it, seemed upset about the fact that she had to do so. Food options also were very meager. read more

So glad we found this bakery. The menu is small but it's obvious that the food is all perfect quality. We wanted the Italian sandwich but unfortunately they were out. We got the mushroom croissant instead. My friend doesn't like mushrooms and really enjoyed it! That says a lot! The croissant was flakey and the stuffing was perfectly seasoned. They bakery items that are regular size and mini bite sizes. I had the key lime tart. The sweetness and tartness was perfecty balanced. It felt like a little European bakery. I will definitely be going back for the Italian sandwich and try more pastries!! read more

On a quiet but rainy Sunday morning I was given a few hours to myself to go around a city I live fifteen minutes from yet still find myself a tourist in. Looking for any sort of cup of coffee to start the day I took the path less traveled, be it an accident or intention, I consider it fate. Tucked into the wall of an old and worn building lies Lucettegrace, a diamond (along with a few others) in a rhinestone world. As I walked up the stairs and met the horizon line that was the counter, I was greeted warmly. Smiles, a hello, and a how are you. Hospitality staples that are disingenuous at what's even considered the best of places, but authentic here. I ordered a latte (to-go) and waited patiently in an alive but calm dining room. It was no more than two or three minutes I waited until the coffee was brought to me, and I was wished well on my way. There I left the quiet French cafe, enlightened with hospitality and sipping a perfectly done latte. The coffee is refreshing, not densely sweet, and a perfect temperature (all subjective but that is the nature of these sort of things). I encourage one with some time on their hands to take this walk away from what's considered "bustling" Raleigh, and enjoy some quiet time in what I believe is a staple of the city. read more

I don't normally go out solely for dessert or to patisseries, but our friend wanted to show us this spot and Lucettegrace really wowed me! It's a cute contemporary space in downtown Raleigh with a showcase of beautifully executed desserts along with coffee, tea, and non-caffeinated drinks for the normal people ;P I can't remember the names of all of the desserts we tried, but the purple one with the blueberries on top was our group's favorite! My second and third would have to be the snickers and the chocolate bar with hazelnut and/or toffee (in the video, not the pic). I recommend this spot for anyone with a sweet tooth who loves aesthetically pleasing, Insta-worthy foods! read more

10/10 best French bakery in Raleigh (union special and Boulted are close contenders but Lucette takes the cake). Very few places sell kouign-amann, so I was overjoyed to see so many behind the case, though the staff looked at me crazy when I pronounced it properly. I guess I should use an American accent when saying french words but that doesn't come naturally to me ... Staff was not very friendly. I asked if they do catering the second time I went and she told me to go to the website (she didn't say yes, we cater, but instead referred me to the website to find an answer, I'd have no issue if there was a language or cultural barrier but this was just a plan unfriendly white american woman. I can't help but imagine some scenario of all the staff having a screaming match before my friend and I walked into the shop, I don't know how else to describe it besides there was tension in the air. Meanwhile my work bestie and I stopped in during our long walking break to treat ourselves to an unreasonable amount of sweets on a random Tuesday afternoon). Limited seating but floor to ceiling windows so gorgeous natural light as long as no one throws any stones! read more

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

Super cute bakery in downtown Raleigh. We went in the later afternoon solely for desserts and coffee but they have a variety of baked goods and sandwiches offered for breakfast/lunch as well. The woman who took our order was patient in explaining each dessert/pastry and offered her personal recommendations. Considering we came right before closing, this was greatly appreciated. A+ service. Both desserts tasted amazing. Perfectly made. Can't wait to return to try the others. read more

I had heard about this place from someone and so I decided to stop by on my way through. I wanted to get everything because it all looked so good but I ended up getting the l'italien sandwich, baklava croissant, cornetto cioccolato, the nun' ya biscuits, and the gay bar. They were all amazing but i wish i had gotten more of those biscuits because they were mind blowing and sausage gravy inside a biscuit is a revolutionary idea in my opinion. Next time I am near Raleigh I will definitely stop by again. read more

This place is such a gem! The most welcoming and warm ambience. The selection of baked goodies was abundant from macarons and croissants to delectably savory buns. We visited around brunch time so the lunch box special seemed like the best option. You can select a sandwich, soup/side salad, and dessert option (we went with the Eggnog macaron, which in fact was to die for). The sandwich was alright but the tomato soup - Oh lord, just pure heaven. The perfect combination of creaminess and tang, just lovely really. As for the pastries, the ham and cheese croissant had the right blend of crisp and cheesiness. The Korean cream cheese bun was such a delectable experience, highly recommend everyone to try. The blend of sweet and salty - wow, just wow. Last but not least, the macarons. I just loved the unique flavors you can select from. The eggnog and gingerbread flavors were just chef's kiss. Honestly, overall great experience. The workers were so pleasant and sweet. One of them even complimented me on my sweater and boy oh boy can you tell that my love language is words of affirmation.. oh and food, definitely food. Anywho, please come and fall in love with this place just as I have. read more

Great place to grab a coffee and a snack. Went in with a group. Ordered a dessert called "raleigh durham", basically a hazelnut caramel dessert. Boyfriend ordered a chai latte. While the dessert wasn't my cup of tea the flavor was still there and it was a beautiful dessert. The chai latte though was delicious! Well made and full of flavor. It's a small shop so they fill up fast but definitely worth a visit! read more

Amazing, unique desserts! Stopped here on a weekday afternoon while downtown. There was one customer dining in and no line. They took our order right away and answered our questions. Only about a minute after we placed the order, they brought it out. Everything was accurate and tasted better than expected. We ordered: Baklava Croissant - flavor and texture was absolutely amazing! The flaky croissant was filled with delicious baklava. It is dense and filling so it lasted multiple meals. Cheese Danish - good flavor, exactly what we wanted Queen Cake - we purchased the whole cake since it sounded and looked unique. The flaky pastry is full of baklava and raspberry and rose flavors. I definitely wanted to eat multiple slices, but I practiced self control and slowly savored one slice. I am now looking forward to eating the rest! Birthday Macaron - perfect texture and level of sweetness. Often macarons are overly sweet, but not these! Plus they have a faint birthday cake flavor. Iced Coffee - interesting flavor. It did not have a strong coffee flavor, but also wasn't watery. It was more similar to a cold brew. We definitely would recommend this patisserie to others! read more

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

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

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

Maybe I caught them at a weird time, but there honestly wasn't a huge selection! Walked in and was greeted. Staff was attentive and polite. Facility seemed clean! I honestly can't complain. I can't speak for the coffee portion, as I was only there to purchase something to satisfy my sweet tooth. I also can't recall what kind of chocolate cake I purchased, but the piece was so, sooooooo, tiny. Maybe I'm just used to honkin' slices of cake for like $10, but ‍‍‍ I was like damnnnn, that's expensive for this itty bitty rectangle. Anyway, it was supposed to have espresso in it. Chocolate, espresso, mousse-- all things I love. Surprisingly was not my favorite. Maybe I'm just not boujee enough, who knows lol! The macaron, however, I would give a solid 5 stars. It was lemon blueberry and I wish I would have bought flavors more to try. It had this glob of fresh blueberry something in the very middle that was divine! The ratio of blueberry to lemon was just spot on. I can't even describe how good it was. If in the area again, I may consider going at another time of day to see what else they have! read more

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
