Bright, contemporary cafe with house-baked breads & pastries, coffee, sandwiches & salads.
"Chef Michael Doyle, previously of Bywater’s Maurepas Foods and Press Street Station, will lead the new Gracious Bakery + Cafe, opening inside the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) in January. The fourth location of Gracious Bakery + Cafe will have an expanded menu with a focus on lighter dishes informed by Levantine spice profiles including a short rib debris sandwich with Harissa slaw on a Challah bun and Piri Piri fried chicken with tabasco peppers, cornmeal waffle and Steen’s cane syrup. The cafe will be open to the public as well as a gathering place for students and faculty Monday through Saturday." - Clair Lorell
"The substantial chicken salad sandwich with pickled onions at Gracious Bakery won’t sit in the pit of your stomach and weigh you down when it takes everything you have to power through the afternoon with 100+ degree heat index temps. And somehow tarragon invokes both calmness and deliciousness. Multiple locations: in Mid City on Jeff Davis, in the Garden District on St. Charles, and Uptown on Prytania." - Nora McGunnigle
