Gracious Bakery + Cafe

We were visiting, and jumped on a street car and ended up in the Garden District, where we found the gem. I don't know how they make their eggs, but they are the fluffiest things ever. Got them on a croissant and didn't regret anything.Single stalled bathroom, and when we were there, there was a wait almost the entire time we were there. You need a code.

Ok, best scone I've had in a long time but it could be because I was in Germany for the last 6 months where they don't really have scones. This one was uniquely good though because it was the perfect texture and sweetness without tasting like a cupcake or biscuit. I had one two days in a row and even as a day old it was amazing. I had the cold brew and the London smog with vanilla instead of lavender due to the barista's on point recommendation. It was amazing! I love the cute corner store front on St. Charles and I will come back here again and again. The service was really genuine and helpful. Highly recommend, favorite coffee shop I've had in New Orleans so far!Update: downgraded to 4 star. I came in before work hoping to relax and have a cappuccino in a big ceramic mug with an encouraging heart on it.. nope, not here. I didn't express the expectation because when I said for here and not to go, I thought it was a known outcome. This is not your place if you're looking for that. Still a good place but I can't say it's better than all the other ones that give the full cafe experience.

Popped in here around 1pm on a Thursday. There were only a handful of other people here. I got the smoked turkey sandwich with a hibiscus iced tea. The girl taking orders didn't seem to really be paying much attention. She asked me my order twice and then still got my drink wrong (ordered elderberry but got hibiscus). Don't get me wrong the drink was still good, so I wasn't too upset.They had ample seating inside and a few places to sit outside. The sandwich was great! Perfect for a light lunch.

A little pricey for what you get. Conveniently located. Not too much charm. Won't return

Nice old building that could use some upgrading, or it shows character. The food was creative, flavorful and well done. A bit surprised that the sandwiches were not made to order, but it is what they do. Nice variety of baked items.

They say southern hospitality is a thing, not at this place. Nothing "gracious" will be found here. Rude employees and zero soap in the employee/customer restrooms. Also, their coffee blows. Go to Le Pettit Bleu instead.

Gracious bakery has a very generic feel w/a few tables, the display cases of goodies and the counter service. Don't let that fool you!The avocado toast is a nice little nosh. As with most avocado toast, I wish it would be a little bit less char/toast in the bread base so it's not like cutting into it and fearing it's going to jump off the plate and attack the person on the other side of the table. The croissants are what one loves buttery, flaky, crumbs all over you if you're not careful. Kept a couple in my purse for snacks during the day when I wandered about the Quarter.Pricing is fantastically what I would call cheap for New Orleans for excellent quality.

Convenient little spot in the garden district. Service was mediocre. Food was ok. The bagel was borderline burnt. We couldn't cut it with a knife. Quiche lacked flavor. The creamy herb dressing on my salad was delicious. The warm cinnamon roll was a little crunchy from the heat up. Overall served its purpose for a quick bite while in the garden district.

Thank you Yelpers for helping us find this cute spot for breakfast. I had the avocado toast and he had the salmon bagel. We shared a few pastries... all were delicious.

"OK!"1. Food: not really a place to get an outstanding creation like O'Delice, Bittersweet, or the old Sucre. Nothing here is bad, just not special (see pic).2. Atmosphere: here's the real problem. Back when it was a po'boy shop concrete floors and a dark eating space were common - like Matassa's or the Nelly Deli. But for a high end bakery it's kind of creepy.3. Regardless: it's good to have in the neighborhood for a sugar rush.
