My husband and I had absolutely the best brunch and fantastic service! We were just in town visiting and stumbled upon Macrina. So glad we did! We ate there twice on our trip. The first day we sat down for brunch and were floored by the delicious food and coffee. The second day we just popped in to get some... More

I work down the street and acouple ladies I work with occasionally stop in and grab treats. The baked goods are always moist, dense and satisfying. Very flavorful I wish they had a place close to my home.

I recently popped in Macrina with friends on a rainy afternoon and enjoyed a perfect cappuccino. I had it made with soy (which can be hard to do well) due to allergies, and it was one of the best I've had. This is a great atmosphere to relax with a coffee and one of their delicious pastries but it is... More

It is hard to find natural bread with no additives. Macrina meets my needs and loved a loaf of the cinnamon swirl brioche. At the Central Market in Mill Creek carrys some Macrina Bakery's bread if you live up in north.

For as long as Leslie Mackie has been cooking (publicly that is) we have enjoyed the great quality food that she and her staff turn out day after day. I have never eaten anything at any of the 3 city sites ( the original in Belltown, MacGraw on top of Queen Anne and the Sodo district site ) that wasn't... More

We ate brunch here with our 3 children in tow. Had I known what I know now, I would not have gone. This is not a kid friendly restaurant. The table was a high top with tall bar like stools with very little back on them. There was no where to set our car seat for the baby. We felt... More

This is a small place with about 10 2 top tables and 1 4 top. I would suggest just ordering to go and sit outside or take it with you. The breakfast sandwich I had was very good, also ordered was a dill scone by my party. We asked if we could order cream cheese to go with it, and... More

We were staying in a condo in the same building as Macrina. So we were able to stop several times while in Seattle. Everything is made the same day on site. The coffee is great (I asked who the source is and they said a local roaster named Cafe Vita). During the week we had scones, muffin and pastries, all... More

All the pastries we purchased here were overly wonderful. We highly recommend this bakery. You can walk by and see the pastries being made as the street wall to the kitchen is all glass. Hey, it is worth the wonderful aromas even if you don't buy anything while there.

We stopped in for breakfast during a walk round Seattle. The brioche with eggs and ham were delicious and they served good coffee. Recommended.
