Excellent selection of breads, pastries, & baked goods. Bagels are amazing, it’s a must have. Great ambience. Very friendly staff, good location. Not too crowded. Very clean. Great ambience. Wonderful experience overall. Breads are so good. A hidden gem in Seattle. Bagels are made from sourdough, excellent.

We walked to Macrina Bakery & Cafe on a Friday morning. By 10am the inside was already packed with few seats available outside as well. Luckily we were able to snag a table outside right as another party was leaving. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the pastries before eating them. We ordered a cold brew, cappuccino, raspberry lemon cake, ginger cookie, upside apple cardamom cake, and chocolate orange coffee cake. The coffees were pretty good. I'm not a coffee snob or connoisseur by any means but I thought the cappuccino was tasty. The apple cardamom cake was decent but slightly dry. I'm not the biggest fan of cardamom, but could appreciate the flavor combination. The ginger cookie was easily the best pastry we ordered and had an amazingly satisfying chewy texture. The raspberry lemon cake had good flavor but was a little dry. The chocolate orange coffee cake was also a little dry, but was really good when you were able to get a bite with lots of chocolate chips in it. Overall, I was satisfied with my visit to Macrina Bakery & Cafe. It is located in Capitol Hill in an extremely cute area, which makes it a great neighborhood coffee spot. I would love to visit again to try out their other pastries, and could see this place becoming a regular spot if I lived nearby.

What a wonderful neighborhood bakery! Beautiful (and delicious) handmade pastries and bread. Pricy ($5-6 an item), but definitely get what you pay for! We came on a Sunday morning and it was pretty packed, but we ordered, paid, and had our food within 10 minutes! Service and cleanliness were 10/10!
