Gracious Bakery

"The few things I tried have been delicious but unfortunately the service is not great. I ordered 2 twists and a chicken hand pie. The twists were flaky on the outside, soft on the inside and absolutely worth a trip to this bakery. Unfortunately no clue how the hand pie tasted because I never got it. My order was to go and when I opened it at home instead of the hand pie they gave me a piece of quiche. It was very tasty just not what I ordered. I think it was an onion quiche. Crust was deep brown and flaky. I went back a second time (checked my order before I left) and got chicken salad on croissant. Again absolutely delicious. Large chunks of chicken, not overdressed with almonds and I think grapes. Great flavor and the croissant was also good. Service is not terribly friendly but the food is worth overlooking that."

"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."

"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!"

"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"

"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."
