Macrina Bakery

Macrina Bakery Review

One of Seattle's favorite bakeries is also popular for breakfast and brunch. With its perfectly executed breads and pastries—from Nutella brioche and ginger cookies to almond croissants and dark-chocolate, sugar-dusted brownies—it's become a true Belltown institution. The small spot is usually too frenzied to invite the hours of idleness that other coffee shops may inspire, but a recent remodel helped ease the crunch with additional seating. Macrina is an excellent place to take a delicious break on your way to or from the Olympic Sculpture Park. You can also wait for a table and have a larger breakfast or lunch—sandwiches, quiches, and salads are all yummy and fresh. There's also a location in SODO and one in Queen Anne.
