"Gracious serves up satisfying sandwiches on homemade bread that is ubiquitously used by other shops around the city, particularly the standout ciabatta. It also offers a small breakfast menu and outstanding baked goods outside of breads: pastries, cookies, whole cakes, and pies." - Eater Staff
"The St. Charles Avenue location of local bakery mini-chain Gracious is perfectly located to fuel up for Uptown parades. The team is serving a special sidewalk parade menu of beer wine, rum punches, and other mixed drinks, plus mini muffulettas, grilled cheeses, pastries, and cookies." - Beth D’Addono
"I rely on Gracious Bakery when I want a classic apple crumble for Thanksgiving." - Clair Lorell
"Gracious Bakery’s ciabatta will make any sandwich great — seriously, put anything on there. But the local bakery also has an excellent chicken salad, set off by pickled onions and greens that make for a winning combo. The toasted Black Forest ham sandwich is also great, as is the hot, Reuben-style turkey." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Gracious Bakery, now with one less location around the city, is good at many things — king cake, pastries, sandwiches, cakes, and pies — and bagels. Gracious smokes their lox in-house, and the lemon caper cream cheese is brilliant." - Clair Lorell
