I'll be honest in that I read the name of the place as lettucegrass and spent a confused minute trying to find the location for it on google maps. When I finally got to the place, I ordered earl grey tea. The waitress who handed me the tea told me to reach out if I wanted refills on the water. The place is very spacious and there are even more seats aside from the ones in the photos that I uploaded. I came here to do work on my laptop and unfortunately during certain hours of the day it gets quite noisy. The wifi is great but I'm not sure I'll be back to work. However, this is a great place to catch up with your friends and chat over Lucettegrace's tea and dessert. read more

A lovely gem in downtown Raleigh. Although it's pricier than your average local bakery, it's a standout. This is probably the only French-style patisserie in the area, which means all the offerings are works of art! The space is quite minimalistic and modern, and lots of patrons were on their laptops-- a cool place to work and chill. I've had their croissants and other morning bakery staples--all very good! My husband has also brought home some of their fancy desserts. I can't remember their names, but they were very good as well. Five stars, especially because it occupies a unique niche in the Triangle. read more

What a cute bakery and cafe spot in downtown Raleigh! Their display case is beautiful and makes you want to order everything. I got the Larry Meets Escazu pastry. Inside was layers of Escazu dark chocolate mousse, Larry's coffee crème brulee, brownie cake, cocoa cake, and Irish cream! It was so delicious but sooo sweet. My friend got the Candy Bar Cake (chocolate hazelnut praline mousse, praline chocolate crunch, brown butter cake, and praline cream) and Cannelé (vanilla rum cake), which were good as well, but the Larry Meets Escazu topped them both. read more

So I haven't been here yet, but had a custom made cake from here! Apparently the chef agreed to make a custom cake from my favorite three things which are peanut butter, banana, and honey bunches of oats! I loved it! It was amazing! Peanut butter plus banana plus a crust made of honey bunches of oats. I love that the chef was able to make it from scratch on the whim! Can't wait to actually go and try all the other desserts! read more

It's a cute coffee shop located in the heart of downtown. One of the great things beside it being a great coffee shop it's that they pay a living wage to all of their staff. I ordered a dirty chai latte and it's one of my favorites in Raleigh! They have delicious baked goods which makes it hard to pick just one. It's my go to place for well-baked goods and caffeinated beverages. I have also visited for lunch. Even though they have a small menu, all of their lunch items are great. Once you are inside, it's warm with a lot of seating area. The first thing you will see is the display of their pastries, what else do you want! Parking can be a little chaotic but there are a ton of parking garages you can choose from. UPDATE 12/14/17: They no longer have soy milk. read more

Absolutely love this place. I have not had one bad thing here. My favorite is the Dixie cannonball & a vanilla latte .. maybe a few macaroons. All of the desserts are amazing though, you really can't go wrong. They also have a lunch special combo thing with sandwiches & salads. Croissants are amazing. Highly recommend. read more

I loved this place. I work downtown and it was a solid go-to for lunch and sugar cravings. Their prices are insanely (bordering on inexcusable) expensive, but it is convenient and the food was good. Within the last month or so, there has been a marked downtown in quality of product coming out of this restaurant. On different occasions, I have gotten my food back to my office to find a rock in my salad and a hair in my chicken sandwich. Every single time I have purchased a macaroon within the last month, the pastry has completely crumbled and caved in and, more than a few times, they have been chewy like cookies. This place has gone from consistently good to consistently disappointing, yet they are happy to continue to charge a king's ransom for the experience. read more

We stopped by this place right before our photoshoot. I know I know...we should have checked it a long time ago. I'll be straight. It looks great! The decor is stunning and the windows overlooking the streets are very cool. The ceilings are pretty high. So you are kind of above the world, enjoying coffee and whatever you crave for. So the coffee...was pretty good but not excellent. The baked sweets looked very appealing but we found some to be pretty expensive. We had lattes with a fig scone. I admit, upon barista recommendation, the scone goes perfect with a coffee and that was the best scone I'd ever tried. Most of them are sooooo dry. I wouldn't enjoy spending a lot of time here but for a pick and go is very good! read more

I came here today by walking in 105 degree! But I'm glad it's worth it! First, the service here is SUPER good! All the staff are very friendly. They answered our questions patiently and didn't rush us to put order it make decision! Great service! Now, let's talk about macarons. I am a great​ fan of french macarons. I can drive one hour to eat a good macarons! To me, my favorite is always the pistachio flavor, as it works very well with almond flour and is not overwhelmingly sweet. However, I'm a little disappointed with the pistachio flavor here, as its filling is too thick and too sweet. I don't tatse much pistachio flavor from it, just sugar! While I was disappointed, the birthday cake flavor cheered me up again. The filling is slightly creamy and not too sweet. It does fill like a cake! The pineapple coconut flavor is also good, very pineapple and fruity. The caramel one is ok, nothing special. In general, the macarons here are ok, not the worse nor the best. I also ordered the Dixie cannonball per Yelp reviews! It was good! I can definitely see why a lot people like it! Very fluffy outside and juicy inside! There is really running liquid inside that takes like lighter version of sasuage gravy. I like it. I would have enjoyed it more if it was a cold day. For a super hot summer day, it feels too heavy and too greasy to me. But nothing with the food, it's just a wrong timing! I'm not sure whether I would drive to downtown to eat here. But if I'm around, I would come to try the chocolate croissant, which looks super fluffy and delicious! read more

I love this French bakery. Excellent soup and salad lunch box. The croissants are amazing. In fact pretty much everything they make is great. Though I do feel the macarons lack flavor. That's it though. Everything else is 100! read more

This pastry shop is magical. Everything we have ever tried was amazing. Service is outstanding. The brown butter Rice Krispie treats are a must try. The bread is crusty, exactly what a baguette should be. One of the best places in Raleigh read more

I had the opportunity to sample the "Lucettegrace experience" while I was in Raleigh recently. Very nice ambiance .... Open, bright and modernly classy layout. Service was friendly and helpful. The display cases which are front and center as you enter...should be outlawed for their overwhelmingly alluring impact on the average person. Those pastries and desserts on display all looks so temping and sumptuous. We sampled the strawberry macaron, the marzipan croissant and the vanilla rum cake. So often, food does not taste as good as it looks ..... not in this case. It was all fantastic. This place gets my vote. read more

DIXIE CANNONBALL. If you get anything, get that. Get there earlier in the day, they run out of them. I've frequented Lucette Grace a time or so for exactly that, the Dixie Cannonball. I work downtown so have to control myself as I'd probably become a Dixie Cannonball myself. Love their lunch options as it's simple but done right. The staff is superb too! I love the decor and vibe of Lucette Grace that I decided to take a couple of engagement photos inside, the staff was super friendly, fun and accommodating to us (and maybe even a little weirded out) but the photos look amazing and we are thankful they allowed us to do so. Lucette Grace will always be one of our favorites! read more

Cappuccino was very good although in a too small cup. Music was too loud and the Croissant had a hard shell and tasted like a day old. Seats are very uncomfortable, hard and industry style. Not a place to hang out and enjoy a conversation with friends read more

Loved the little pastries. Perfect size portions for individuals or shareable sizes. Very good quality and unique flavors.

I had the pleasure of trying their hot chocolate & croissant. It was absolutely delicious. The staff working was polite and professional.

I've been here twice. The first time I stopped briefly with one of my friends and got the ham and cheese croissant. It was too die for!! I stopped in this evening and I got an iced coffee. The gentleman was so nice he put in the liquid sugar and cream for me. It was the best iced coffee I've had in quite some time. I also got a few French macaroons. So good!! A bit more expensive then most places but still good. I love looking at the desserts in display. They're so pretty!! Cute little coffee shop /bakery. Definitely stop in here!! read more

We love the yellow and the open concept and decor of this downtown bakery. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful to us. I love the convenience. Definitely makes going to the courthouse to pay your tickets a way better experience. The fresh and unique flavors are so neat and tasty! We've had several different sweets including the pastries, some of the breads and croissants, and even a couple of their cakes. We recently had a friend get married and his wife literally just moved here from Shanghai. They googled how to write something sweet in Mandarin. And they wrote it in chocolate on their cake. We love this place. They go above and beyond always. read more

Went here for the Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich! Make sure you call in to check for daily flavors and availability. They may or may not have what you want and sometimes pastries may run out so be sure to ask so they'll hold if one is left. I recently went there on 7/1/17. We got the Hot Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich and Vanilla Rum Cake. Both were good but pretty pricey for a small Rum Cake. read more

The pastries this place serves is simply out of the world. Each slice is so precisely assembled and the flavors are amazing. We've had their cakes couple of times in the past and have always loved it. This time around, we stopped for brunch. Unfortunately their brunch selection was pretty limited. They had a curry chicken sandwich which had unique flavors of pistachio and cranberry. Overall the sandwich was good. The bourbon pecan croissant was a little too sweet for my taste. The rose macaroon was great! The butternut squash soup was like no other.... They had pickled garlic or onions topping which added a nice flavor. The highlight was obviously there candy bar pastry.... It was sooo good!!!! Again, we've always loved the pastries here. However I think their brunch or lunch options are pretty limited. I wish they expand into providing more savories options as well read more

This is THE best place for pastries in downtown Raleigh! For a grab and go coffee and pastry downtown this is as good as it gets.

This is a super cool and sleek place. However, I was not too keen on their coffee and their pastries, though pretty, were a bit overpriced. Of course, that's pretty standard for fancy pastry places these days. Still worth a stop to see if you might want a fancy pastry and just some down time in down town Raleigh. read more

I came to Lucettegrace 3 times this week. I may have a problem. In my excessive visits, I was able to sample a lot of their offerings. My favorite was their Sweet potato soup lunch item (they have a lunch menu from 11:00-2:30). We came on a super chilly day, and the soup was really warm, creamy without making you feel gross (it is coconut milk based) and SUPER flavorful. They serve it with 3 pieces of their baguette, and its a winter lunch item that is dangerously good (and vegetarian friendly). Second, their desserts are amazing. I have never had a dessert here that I felt was overly sweet/decadent. They are all super creative and unique, and are very well balanced. My favorite was the Washington D.C. The caramel jam is AMAZING. Desserts are priced around $6. Third, I don't even like hot chocolate, but I loved their hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream and marshmallows. Have it. It is a must. Finally, the staff/space are amazing. We sometimes bring our own board games, claim a table and play, while sipping hot chocolate and munching on sweets. The staff has no problem with it and are super friendly always. Please check Lucettegrace out if you haven't already. Support this amazing local business that has mastered the art of satisfying the sweet tooth! read more

Lucettegrace - Love the interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Two coworkers and I stopped by Lucettegrace after a work event yesterday afternoon. We just happened to be walking past their storefront. We'd heard about the macarons and none of us had tried them before, so we felt that we needed to go! The interior has a simple but stylish design, which I really liked. The bright yellow contrasting against the natural tones made it a really pleasant place to spend some time! There are a few small booth-style tables on the side as well as a couple high top tables. When we went in, there were only a couple others in the store so we had our choice of where to sit. When we came to the counter, we asked about macaron ice cream sandwiches (something I'd seen on Offline). Unfortunately, they only serve those in the summer months. So, we settled for regular macarons. My coworkers both got one of each macaron in the gift box. It cost $19 plus tax, which is a pretty alright deal for 8 macarons. They liked most of them but both agreed the Thin Mint tasted a little odd. I just got one -- S'mores! It was a delicious chocolate macaron with chocolate filling as well as a dollop of marshmallow cream inside. It had a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs as well. It was delicious, but I do wish there were more graham cracker to it. I've found that many s'mores-inspired desserts go light on the graham cracker, even with it being a primary part of the original campfire dessert -- this was one of those times. Regardless, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The other desserts in the case looked beautiful and intricate. I considered getting one of the pastries (i.e. croissant) but didn't. The Dixie Cannonball breakfast muffin looked delicious, but for $5 it didn't seem that worth it. Maybe I'll be proven wrong next time I stroll in here. Other than the delicious macarons and cool interior, this place didn't stand out that far from any other higher-end local pastry shop. I will gladly give 4 stars because of the friendly service and delicious macarons, but hope they come up with a winter/spring/fall replacement of the macaron ice cream sandwich! Now THAT is unique! read more

We came because some friends suggested getting one of the cakes. They warned us that it was expensive, but worth it. We tried the brownie. YES, it was expensive. But it only tasted just okay. Honestly, it wasn't as good as a nice, homemade, Ghirardelli box-mix brownie. So basically, it's sadly a rip-off. read more

This is a very unique shop with so many goodies to choose from. I loved they layout, decor, and cleanliness of the shop. It gave you a good feel when you walked in. It's small, but very sunny, bright, and open. The staff was nice and quick worth the orders. I came on a Saturday morning and had a quick bite to eat. I can't judge the macaroons, because I don't like macaroons...but the breakfast sandwich was good! They also have coffee drinks to choose from, which I didn't get to try. I would recommend this place to the person with the sweet tooth or who wants a cool place to chat and hang out. P.S. They have succulents...I love succulents!! read more

Pastries are amazing, but also try the French Ham baguette lunch box! The simplicity and flavor of that sandwich is amazing!

After missing them last year by just a few hours after the last one was sold, I was determined not to miss trying a macaron ice cream sandwich from Lucettegrace this year. I definitely understand the hype around these. The flavor of the day was birthday cake which is always a great choice in my book. This macaron ice cream sandwich was amazing! The macaron outside was soft with a slight crunch on the outside and the ice cream in the middle was such the perfect firm consistency so that you could bite into the sandwich and enjoy it without it melting quickly. Will definitely be trying more next year! read more

Whether or not you are craving a one of a kind pastry think (pain au chocolat, blueberry & violet tart) or just some macarons to pair as a side to your lunch box to go.. you truly can't go wrong. I've also put together custom cake orders with them for special occasions- and the presentation and taste did not disappoint. Everything is executed in a flawless and elegant fashion. I promise, heads will turn when others get a glimpse of that treat in your hand. Don't be surprised if you get that side eye or daring question "where is that from?". Needless to say, if you are downtown looking for a special treat- make sure you check out Lucettegrace. read more
