I can't tell you how much we love Macrina - it's one of the best we've found in the area and few Seattleites will disagree. It's fairly easy to get to - though I'd recommend finding what you want (on their website) calling in the order and then picking it up... Sometimes what they have on-hand can go quickly.

A month ago, I ordered a fantastic chocolote cake from Macrina in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. It was for my mother's birthday and she's a big cake and chocolate fan. She loved it and so did everyone else fortunate enough to grab a piece. Macrina is known as a terrific bakery in town and makes a mean birthday cake. You can't go wrong.

So, you want to give your barista, kid's teachers and postal carrier an assortment homemade cookies, neatly nestled in a cardboard pastry box and tied with French bistro twine to let them know how much you appreciate what they do throughout the year. A thoughtful and time-honored gesture to be sure. The only problems: you don't bake and you have no idea what French bistro twine is. No problem; Leslie Mackie, the owner of Macrina Bakery does. She and her crew of artisan bakers are at the ready with an assortment of traditional holiday confections such as Angel Thumbprints, Swedish Overnights, Mexican Wedding Cakes and Lemon-Pistachio Crescents. Other holiday treats that you can call your own include decorated gingerbread men cookies, spiced nuts, panettone and cranberry chutney. They even sell brandied fruitcake.

I've been to Macrina many times...many many times. And I've tried a variety of items. But being a "savory" kinda gal, the Savory Biscuit is by far my favorite! This tasty treat is at time sheer perfection, slightly salty with rosemary and ham. Granted, there are days it is too crumbly, days it's heavy as a brick, one day they forgot the salt, and days it's still gooey on the inside...but despite all of this I continue to order my Savory Biscuit on the chance it's the day it is utter biscuit perfection!

I don't really have much of a sweet tooth, so a lot of this kind of thing is wasted on me. When I do have an occasion to have a cake, QFC's sheet cakes are out of the question. If the occasion is important enough to warrant having a cake. Don't skimp. There stuff is freshly made, they use the best ingredients and for this salt junky, it is all quite tasty. You've gotta have christmas cookies at the holidays and I don't bake. Thank you Macrina.

I've been in Seattle for seven years and until I found Macrina, I was convinced a decent bakery was nowhere to be found. You walk in and are immediately assaulted by the most fragrent of bakery smells. Everything is delicious. They serve breakfast and lunch daily (not sure about dinner) and I've never been disappointed. Great atmosphere, food and coffee. What more could you want?
