Lucy J's Bakery
For 7 years, we have primarily made celebration cakes for birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. As the retail store became more and more of a reality, we expanded into croissants, danishes, breads, pies, and lots of other delicious treats. See more of the work we have done in the gallery. Lucy J's Bakery provides job training and employment with living wages to parents who are working to transition out of homelessness.
Services
We are a non-profit operation with a mission to employ parents who are transitioning out of homelessness. The key to this mission is providing employment opportunities where Memphians earn an hourly wage of $15 and receive a medical plan. Hopefully, you've had a chance to taste some of Lucy J's delicious treats, especially the lemon blueberry croissant pocket!

Snagged a very tasty breakfast (egg, ham, and cheese) pocket while here. Quick and super tasty breakfast for today! I highly recommend both the ham, egg, and cheese; and the turkey and cheese that I snagged on my last visit. Both were delicious!
Their strawberry cream cheese pocket is amazing with a cup of coffee too, and I can't recommend their other baked pastries enough! Some fun flavors and tasty treats!

Yummy treats, chocolate banana bread was awesome, so moist and banana flavored, tastes like homemade banana bread you can taste the love in it. Strawberry cupcake was good as well. Nice array of hot drinks, cappuccino was pretty solid.

It was a chilly evening when I went to this place without any prior plan for a bakery shop. Actually I was looking for a coffee! I ate a baked puff with ham and cheddar and jalapeño stuff. It was good, but I thought it would have been better if the raw jalapeño was not there inside. There was not much options available at that moment, so I’m again going back to eat

This is a quaint little pastry shop with a nice variety of cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and freshly baked bread along other sweet treats. Their cream cheese frosting in their sandwich cookies is spot-on, as is their whipped frosting on their cupcakes. The prices are also reasonable for the amount you get. My daughter and I will be coming back!

A place we buy from every time when we visit the farmer's market. People there are always super nice. I love the jalapeno bread: great for sandwiches but I can honestly eat it by itself (and that's coming from someone who's not a fan of carbs). Also love the buttery croissants, worth every calorie.

Disappointed with my daughter's birthday cake. Unfortunately nothing about the cake was pleasing. The lettering was poor and the icing was like lard. I visit the concourse every time I visit Memphis, and I had such high hopes.

What a treat (literally and figuratively)to walk by and smell fresh pastry items. I quickly entered and went in to a large selection of pastries, croissants,muffins and cookies. I Purchased a chocolate croissant & a ham egg and cheese croissant. It was warm and wonderful! Better than ever!

As a community based bakery, Lucy J’s Bakery features some very sweet, business savvy people to interact with here in Memphis from the bakers to the cashiers themselves.
While I’m honestly not a big fan of basic bakery goods like sugar cookies and simple baguettes, I will say that they do a much better job that what I would get at the grocery store and in some cases, some other bakeries around town that I will not name on here for privacy’s sake.
If some of their speciality items like their pumpkin cheesecake contained more actual pumpkin flavor, I would give them a higher score, but for

I was scrolling thru the concourse of crosstown. I noticed a bakery with fresh pastries being made. . My eyes and stomach couldn't resist. I had a ham cheese and jalapeño pastry pocket. It fresh flaky and extremely flavorful. I would definitely have this again and again.

Amazing pastry, bread & dessert options: I had a delicious sweet lemon blueberry puff pastry, & they have other sweet fruit & savory lunch pastries too! They have lots of cookies, cupcakes, and bread choices, not to mention nearby ice cream & coffee! I took home some discounted day old bread, much to my frugal delight! Lots of free parking in garage so don't stay away suburban or traveling friends!

Ok.... This place is awesome. We wanted macaroons and they hadn't made them so they said we will make them now, come back later. That's awesome in itself. They have a variety of items... Bread, sweets, cookies, cupcakes etc. I had a coconut macaroon and a Snicker doodle. Both were great. I almost gave 5 stars but I thought the price was a bit high. Food is 5 stars. Service is 5 stars. Price is lower. I will go again though

This was my first but certainly not my last trip to Lucy J's while at Crosstown Concourse. My husband and I tried the checkerboard cookie and the chocolate banana bread. Both left us wanting more!! The servers were helpful as well.

If you in the area and looking for something to help with that sweet tooth then look no further. Homemade and yummyfresh-yesss! Ordered several items for a meeting and everything was good. Had to go back to get one more. The chocolate bunt cake. The prices are so affordable. I have nothing but good things to say!
