I seem to follow Macrina in Seattle. I first discovered their small bakery when I moved literally across the street in Upper Queen Anne. Now their distribution center and largest cafe is a few blocks from my work in SoDo. There are so many things I love about Macrina from their addictively sweet and flaky morning rolls to their special sandwiches, soups and breads. In SoDo Ben is an awesomely talented Barista, he makes the BEST espresso drinks! For an afternoon pick me up try the huge cookies- warning they disapeer quickly, if you are lucky maybe they'll have fresh tray right out of the oven. Oh and my other favorite part about Macrina, their day old baskets, filled to the brim with breads and morning treats for 1/2 off. A great deal. Lastly, my newest obsession: the dill scone with whipped cream!\r
Marcina is a Seattle institution but really it's just my neighborhood bakery.
Pros: Morning Rolls, Fantastic Breads
Cons: Dry Cupcakes/Cakes
