Macrina Bakery & Cafe

You don't have to go to a Macrina bakery to get Macrina baked goods because they are in almost every coffee shop in Seattle. The pastries aren't top-notch though. That's what annoys me when I see Macrina's stuff everywhere. Macrina's "croissant" is not even a croissant, but its Italian cousin called cornetto–a softer, sweeter, and less buttery version, basically a bad croissant. It breaks my heart to see "cornettos" everywhere in Seattle. The biggest strength of Macrina is their variety and I give them credit for that. They have a lot to offer, breads, pastries, muffins, cakes, as well as breakfast sandwiches. A visit to Macrina can easily make a full breakfast. They are a bit pricey though, especially considering the quality and taste of the pastries are nothing spectacular. This location in Belltown has only indoor seatings but they look cozy and people seem to enjoy spend some time here.

Came here for some coffee, and ended up getting the Morning Glory Muffin as well. It was super tasty, and the top of the muffin was crunchy because of the raw sugar on top. The shop is pretty spacious as well!

Bagels are really really good. We also get our coffee and pastries from Macrina and they are ways delicious! Staff is super friendly and helpful too:)

I had to spend a week working in Belltown, and Macrina was the most convenient place for morning espresso. How lucky I am that it is such a wonderful place! The service is friendly, and the baked goods are amazing: both delicious and beautiful to the eye. I'm sure I gained weight during my stay. I'll return if I'm ever in the neighborhood.
