Good Graces
540 St Albans Dr, Raleigh, NC
Crema's Take
“Good Graces is a stylish Raleigh brunch destination with an upscale, aesthetically pleasing atmosphere that draws crowds to the North Hills Innovation District, where you can linger over thoughtfully crafted dishes like their standout pear and cranberry salad alongside both traditional and specialty coffee drinks. While the vibe and food have earned devoted fans, coffee enthusiasts should know the espresso leans bitter, so their specialty drinks might shine brighter than straight shots. It's the kind of place where the beautiful market-style decor and welcoming service make it perfect for a leisurely meet-up with friends or a full brunch experience.”

This place was SO good! The vibes and the atmosphere are so cute and aesthetically pleasing, and the food was to die for. I got the pear & cranberry salad and already want to go back and get it again. 10/10, highly recommend!
NH desperately needed a good brunch spot with great food and cocktails, and Good Graces has checked all the boxes! The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming. The market is so aesthetically pleasing, it could put a smile on anyone’s face (not to mention its filled with perfect options for that last minute girls night or host gift!) and the food. Man oh man. I stopped in on a weekend morning, and ordered a graham cracker latte, and banana bread French toast and both were out of this world. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast (egg sandwich), lunch (chicken salad sandwich) or stopping in for dinner & drinks (crab cake sandwich & the warm and fuzzy cocktail), it’s the perfect spot to have a solo meal, catch up with friends or date night and there is something for everyone for every meal!

Beautiful cafe with upscale decor. Food was good and priced fair. Service good also. My only complaint: the coffee is quite bitter. I had a cappuccino and my cappuccino had an ice coffee - both were bitter in flavor.
I truly had an amazing time dining here today. My party of 4 came for Brunch and arrived at around 1 it was very busy so we took a walk around the North Hills Innovation District as we waited. The market inside the restaurant was very cool and featured lots of interesting local products! The wait time was about 30-40 minutes but it was well worth it! Our Hostess Katie was so helpful and genuinely so sweet. She made our day. Our food arrived quickly and was so delicious! We will be back!
My friend and I met here for brunch after weeks of wanting to visit! Everything was wonderful. The aesthetic is great, but only goes so far if the service & menu don’t live up to the same standard, which Good Graces throughly exceeds! The house made blueberry bombs were outstanding and fresh, and coffee was great! We both had the egg sandwich which was sooooo tasty. Our server, Aiden, was kind and attentive. Everyone who checked on us or just welcomed us to say hello were so lovely. Will absolutely return with more friends & you should definitely give Good Graces a visit 🤍🩵
