Gracious Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
Has a more modern feel compared to most bakeries I go to, but nothing wrong with that - a little different sometimes is a good thing. My chai latte was spiced nicely and I like that there are books to read
Every time I go to Gracious, I am pleasantly surprised. Their baked items are ALWAYS fresh, and it doesn't cost an arm & a leg for a pastry and coffee. And the people are always so helpful and pleasant. I have never been disappointed.
Fantastic bakery with so many yummy treats! Extremely friendly staff to boot. Loved this place!
I finally got to try the cruffin! Something I've been looking for the past couple of years. It was great. It's more like a croissant than a muffin, but either way would have been fine since I like them both. The staff are great too!
What a great spot! It doesn’t have the ‘cozy’ feel I usually associate with bakeries, instead it’s much more minimalist and stark. BUT the warmth comes through 100% with the staff, who went out of their way to help me. The Black and Gold Whoopie pies were delicious (and would be perfect to serve at a Saints party), and when I asked if I could photograph the Maker’s Mile Map they kindly gave me their last copy! Excellent experience with food and service.
Great spot to grab a coffee and a croissant or piece of cake. The store was clean, modern, and vibrant. The staff were super friendly and make you feel at home here in New Orleans.
Friendly staff, great prices, delicious food! Stopped by multiple times and enjoyed myself each time. Highly recommend stopping in!
We did a build your own egg sandwich with a white cheddar biscuit, housemade cheddar cheese, sausage and pesto sauce and it was incredible!! We also got the chai tea and hot cocoa and I couldnt be happier. Can't wait to go back!
