Macaroons and Sipping Caramel

One of my weaknesses is macaroons. They're so dainty, decadent and most of all, delicious. 

I had read online about a patisserie in downtown Raleigh with a menu that looked downright fabulous, so a couple weeks ago I dragged Nate to go with me! 

Lucettegrace is located at 235 South Salsbury St, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601.

Decor: good. The storefront has 2 large windows letting in plenty of natural light making the space airy and bright. In addition to the natural light, there is also a lot of exposed pipes and artwork on the walls. 

Food appearance: excellent. While we didn't partake in their full menu (click the link below) their pastry case looked divine. They had eclairs, macaroons, cakes, tarts and basically everything you'd ever want. 


Food taste: excellent! We each got 2 macaroons; I chose the lavender blueberry and pumpkin passion fruit while Nate chose the pistachio raspberry rose and the almond cheesecake. They were divine! We also got their pumpkin spice eclair to split. It was basically a pumpkin pie and an eclair had a baby. And that food baby was incredible. I also got some sipping caramel, think of the taste of a Werther's Original caramel. Got it? It was exactly that. But liquid. 

Cleanliness: excellent. The store was clean. 

Service: good, the staff was friendly and willing to help us with our needs. 

Total: 13/15 

I would love to go back to Lucettegrace again for their full menu and also all their delicious pastries. I would encourage you all to try it out yourselves too!
