I used to live in Belltown and used to frequent Macrina for their mochas made with mexican chocolate (super yummy). I've moved but I come back every once in a while. I don't eat in because that place is too much of a mad house. I also don't try anything that is not on their ordinary line up because it has proven to be not such a good idea. The things I can't live without: morning glory muffins (packed with fruits, nuts and ultra crisp topping) buttermilk biscuits (so flaky and tender) fresh fruit coffee cake, orange hazelnuts pinwheels, roly polys and brown sugar shortbread cookies. Everything else there is pretty mediocre: cupcakes, salads, some of the seasonal stuff. The breads are pretty good there especially the casera and potato bread.
Pros: Yummy pastries and coffee, free parking on sunday
Cons: Parking any other day, wait lines
