Bakery Lorraine - A Culinary Delight in Austin, TX

We were here twice and I loved it both times - the pastries and the coffee they have are inventive and taste great. Ambiance was very sunny - can be really busy because it's on the Domain though. Good service but sometimes the staff will not collect the number tags for your order.

After visiting the coffee shop across the street, I decided to stop by this bakery, and I'm glad I did! I tried the Quiche Lorraine, and the flavor was fantastic--rich, savory, and well-balanced. My only minor critique is that I'd have preferred it cooked a bit longer for a firmer texture. The service was quick and efficient, which I appreciated, especially as the place started to fill up by the time I left around 10 a.m. The ambiance was just as appealing, with a mix of seating options, including a cozy window bar and inviting outdoor seating. Overall, it's a charming spot with great food and solid service--perfect for a morning treat or a casual breakfast stop. I'll definitely return to explore more of their menu!

Went for a brunch with a girlfriend. I love how the breakfast menu item is very fresh rather than your typical eggs. I loved their bakery options. You order and get a number and get seated and they will bring you food and drink to you. The inside is a bit loud but since it was a good weather we sat outside. Their Kouign Amann was so fresh and light and not at all sweet. It paired well with my oat milk ice latte.

This location is great and a good choice for an iced almond milk latte. Their coffee and espresso quality is pretty good. I really enjoyed the fruit tart and macarons. The service is pretty fast as you just order at the counter and pick up your drinks like at any other coffee shop. There's a good amount of seating inside.

I absolutely love this bakery. The strawberry pop tarts are out of this world. I live in Houston and literally consider driving into Austin just to get them....Well today was that day and they sold out of them before I arrived, tragic! Not to be dramatic, but the eyes got watery lol. I did try the BL-BLT sandwich and it was really good! I wanted just plain Mayo, which they didn't have, but the garlic aioli was very good. The staff members are very friendly, and I always enjoy my visits here.

Had a quick pickup for TGTG! We scored: -Lemon cake Almond sponge cake soaked in a lemon simple syrup with layers of lightened lemon curd and topped with a toasted meringue -Kouign Amann Extra buttery, caramelized layers of flaky pastry filled with lemon curd -Orange Blackberry Muffin Orange Muffin with blackberries, topped with cinnamon streusel All were perfectly indulgent! Would split with a friend if you're not used to such rich/sweet desserts.

I will absolutely be back here! If you're around the domain look no further than to pay a visit to Lorraine's baker. Let's talk about it. Salmon everything sandwich: Fantastic taste with capers. My order was a must, but to be honest what really made it great was their lemon vinaigrette salad. So refreshing to pair with the sandwich. Please note I did swap for the salad instead of having the traditional side of chips and very happy I did. I don't know if it's made in house, but it was a superb match on this buisness' part. Turkey pesto sandwich: Also extremely yummy, nice crunch, and great quality. Again, don't know how much they make in house but it is so well done and everything tastes quality! Fries with garlic aioli: Please tell me why these were the best and most perfect fries I have ever had. It sounds crazy right, a simple potato cut into pieces. The sandwiches were good, but I will definitely come back just for multiple orders of these fries again. They are fried well and the pairing of their aioli is what helps make them. One thing I don't like is soggy fries so these may the fry mark for me. Vanilla latte and chai latte: Can I throw these in the same category. Okay I was not as a fan of their drinks, but to be fair, I wouldn't necessarily think of coffee when I think of this place. It's the food for me that does it. Macaroons: The early grey and dark chocolate Lavendar were everything. The way they package them for you is also the cutest. Hear me out, next time I need a birthday sweet gift, or thank you dessert for someone, I will think of Lorraine's Bakery. As for service everyone who helped me was wonderful and very sweet! Prompt help and very open to helping you make menu decisions as a first timer. Ambiance wise, well it's at the domain. What can I say, it's family friendly, stufy friendly, and shopper friendly. Overall great spot.

Visited on Saturday morning. Lovely bakery in the food street in the Domain. Street parking is reserved for pickup, but a garage is right around the corner. There's a lot of seating both indoors and outdoors, but the place does get pretty busy and most tables are occupied most of the time. All the pastries look so lovely, and the ones we ordered tasted so, too. Thick creamy center for the cheese Danish. The ratio of cream cheese-pastry surprised me; I was expecting maybe half the amount of cream cheese based on my usual experience with cheese Danishes and was very happy to taste how smooth, rich, and creamy the filling was. Pain au chocolat was flakey, and I bought fruit tarts as a gift to a friend. The store can get busy, and there could be a solid long line at times. The staff were friendly and were fast to clean up tables. Pastries get warmed up and served really fast, but I do wish I'd got the drinks (coffees) with the pastries or even before them. It was not that long of a wait, but on that day I already took pictures, took a couple of bites of the food, and then had to stop myself so I could enjoy my coffee-pastry set. The place is on the pricier side for similar orders, but the place is indeed very pleasant, and the baked goods and desserts are pretty and delicious.

5 stars for quality of the actual pastry, but the fillings/mix-ins of other ingredients could usually be levelled up. Such beautiful pastry deserves more flavor kick paired with it, especially at these prices. Still my favorite stop in the Domain for a breakfast treat, though. Even the cinnamon roll seems to be made with pastry dough as opposed to the traditional bready dough. The decor is airy french country bakery style, and staff are great. The place is usually packed, so sitting at a table that hasn't been cleaned yet is a likely outcome.
