I had heard this bakery originally started in Seattle before moving its food production to this location, so after hearing so many great things, I decided to stop by after an early morning workout. The first thing I appreciated was the parking. They have their own lot, so finding a space was easy--a huge bonus compared to many Seattle cafés where parking can be a challenge. As you walk in, you'll see shelves displaying their freshly baked breads and pastries, making it easy to browse before ordering. If you look to the left, there's also a viewing window where you can catch a glimpse of the bakery production behind the scenes, which adds a fun touch to the experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The staff were friendly and never made me feel rushed. Instead of asking repeatedly if I was ready, they simply let me take my time and came over when I was ready to order. I really appreciated that. I'm the type of person who takes a while to make very serious food decisions, so the no-pressure service made the experience even more enjoyable. One thing that surprised me was that the café wasn't filled with the strong aroma of coffee or freshly baked bread like many bakeries are. Don't let that fool you, though--the bread was incredible. I ordered the Bialy Egg Sandwich, and the bread was soft with a wonderful chewy texture while still having a nice crust on the outside. The egg was cooked with a perfectly runny yolk, which made every bite rich and satisfying. If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, I'd recommend asking when you order. I paired it with a coffee that leaned toward the bright, slightly acidic side. It complemented the sandwich well, although my personal preference is for coffee with more chocolatey, earthy notes. That's purely a matter of taste, not quality--I can definitely see why others would enjoy their roast. One thing to note is that pets aren't allowed inside the café, so plan accordingly if you're bringing your furry friend. But they do sell dog biscuits and you can enjoy the outdoor space with your furry friend after ordered. - which is a bit confusing to me Just keep in mind that they're only open on weekdays and close around 2 p.m., so it's definitely an early bird kind of place. I'd happily come back again--it's the perfect stop after a morning workout before heading to work, and I can definitely see why people have been recommending it. Overall, this is a wonderful spot for breakfast, a quiet coffee break, or a place to recharge before starting your day. It reminded me of the cozy cafés in Capitol Hill, but with much easier parking and a more relaxed pace. read more

This English muffin was the cheapest food on the menu at $1.50. Everything else was $5 and over. It's okay for the price, food tastes good and it came with a piece of butter which was great, but I think for a bakery it seems a bit expensive for what it is. read more

Delicious lunch! Hand pie and Carne sandwich were a perfect amount for the two of us. Chocolate chip/peanut butter/oatmeal cookie went home with us with the mini KeyLime pie. Great place to visit for breakfast or lunch! read more

Someone please get back to me with an answer. EXACTLY WHEN does fresh bread appear in your bakery? I got in at opening time on a Tuesday to get what I'd hoped would be fresh baked bread. I was sadly confronted with the same situation that's at my bakery two blocks away: No new bread, shelves sporting a tiny sprinkle of various loaves. I think there were literally like five or six loaves there, two of which were baguettes. There was no plain white or plain wheat. There was no challah, no brioche, no seeded loaves were out either. I reluctantly bought the last loaf of sourdough because I had to go home with SOMETHING. After I got home with a baguette and a sourdough loaf, I was annoyed. I'm pretty sure I bought yesterday's bread. I won't be back until someone can give me a guaranteed tome of day when I can actually get FRESH BREAD. To be fair: This has happened at another bakery in town as well. Arrive at opening, nothing on the shelves. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?. When is bread made around here?? read more

I am a fan. Everything was so delicious. Everything I tried was delicious. I recommend :)

Yum! I had no idea there was a Macrina in Kent. It is located towards the backroads to Tukwila, right by the warehouses with colorful numbers. Anyways I got the carne quiche, almond pinwheel, guava cream cheese hand pie, and mini carrot cake. All were pretty good! My favorite was the quiche and the side of pickled cauliflower. I don't even like cauliflowers but these were so delicious and totally unexpected when I opened my to go box. Highly recommend getting your quiche heated even if it's to-go. Probably the best quiche I've ever had! Just a nice balance of flavor, cheese & crispy crust! My least favorite was the guava hand pie. I thought this would have been my favorite but I didn't really care for the filling. I thought it would've been like a swirl of guava & cream cheese but it was blended together and it had the appearance of how dairy based fillings look when it's starting to separate. Kinda lumpy. Tasted decent though just not what I was expecting for the filling. Staff were friendly and patient! They seem to always have a line - short and fast moving though. read more

Decent place to get pastries and coffee. The food was under whelming, the quality of the means was okay, the bread was okay as it's a bakery. Maybe their sweets were better than there savories items. Wouldn't come back if I had to. read more

Stopped in for a very quick lunch and I am so happy this location exists. We tried the Demi ham sandwich and the Carne sandwich. Both excellent, but the Carne is what is would order again. From the appearance I was expecting a heavier bread, but the bun was so airy and delicate. Perfect for the bacon and turkey contained within. The sandwich size was perfect for my needs, because I did not want to carry around leftovers for the rest of the day. The employees at the counter were cheery, friendly and helpful. It is a small space with a maybe 8 tables? So I'm glad we missed the lunch rush! read more

This is the best bakery in Washington, I don't care what anyone says. I used to be a baker in California, and I tried every other bakery there and none compare to Macrina. I tried every bakery that was recommended to me by Washington locals in my time there, and none of them compare to Macrina either. This place is legit. The mocha was better than all the coffee shops I tried while in Seattle too. Everything was clean and organized, the bathrooms were spotless, I can't say enough good things about this place. I wish there was just 1 Macrina back home. read more

Everything at Macrina is delicious. My only complaint is my favorites are sold out of if I go later in the day. There isn't a lot of seating but they do have a small outdoor patio. Great for a sweet treat or a small lunch. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. read more

We went here for breakfast on our next to last day in Seattle. The ambiance is what you would expect of a bakery. There were a few tables but it is mostly take out. The aromas of fresh breads and pastries is enticing. Everything was so good that we ended up eating in two waves. First wave, I had a bagel and cream cheese and a huge cup of tea. Second wave, I had an apple turnover. Both were excellent. The kid had a cup cake, the wife had a fried fruit pie and something else I don't remember, but everyone loved everything. Everything was very fresh and high quality. Service is good. You order at the counter and they either make it (in the case of a sandwich) or just get what you selected. Great place, I wish we had one in Dallas. read more

While hunting for an open brunch spot on Cyber Monday, I stumbled upon this adorable little cafe nestled in the heart of the Kent industrial district. I was surprised to find out that Macrina Bakery has expanded out of Seattle into the Eastside! This charming cafe is attached to the bread factory and you can watch their operations through the cafe window. They offer coffee, fresh pastries and breads, as well as a breakfast and lunch menu. They had a constant stream of customers the whole time I dined-in, and the staff were friendly and quick with the service. One star off because the bagel and chicken pot pie I got was very dry and bit burnt. read more

My visit was quick, but I felt welcomed by the friendly greetings and by the looks of the impressive display of enticing baked goods. I marveled at all the options and how artistic it all looked. I ordered a cinnamon bun, the roly poly (which is different from cinnamon bun in that it has walnuts, raisins, and coconut) , and the strawberry cheesecake. I loved it all!! I plan to go back, order from their drink menu, delight in a croissant and stay a while with a good book. Check them out, I definitely recommend it! read more

This Was my Second visit, during my first Time the Staff was so Friendly and Attentive The Barista offered me a Coffee Card, that I refused in the moment. Surprisingly the Coffee was so Tasty and Delicious with a Grill Cheese Sandwich.

I highly recommend the "Grill Cheese Sandwich" Great Friendly Customer Service! read more

Busy busy place where there's several parking spots that fill up quickly, even in a weekday morning. Lots of good options to try from. If you have time to eat breakfast or lunch there, there are a handful of tables inside and outside. Pretty good but not award winning pastries you'd mistake for Paris but a good option if close by! read more

I'm here in Washington visiting my daughter. My flight from SoCal was pretty early so I needed coffee and to get something in my stomach. She said Macrina bakery would fit the bill. We were in an industrial part of town and my daughter pulls into a warehouse parking lot. This was apparently Macrina central. This is where they bake all of their pastry's and ship them out. So the freshest Macrina goodie's are right here. Well played daughter. I judge all coffee shops by the plain black cup of Joe. No creamer, sweetener and certainly no Pumpkin Spice. This was excellent coffee. I also ordered the Ciabatta breakfast sandwich with sausage. This was one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Good job Macrina from a Californian visiting. Your doing it right. Definitely recommended. read more

Nice place for breakfast on a weekday! Their ham egg sandwich was so good! I especially loved the thinly sliced ham. Other favorites are the orange hazelnut pastry and apricot pecan oatmeal cookie. read more

Finest kind! Not only is this an excellent place scratching whatever itchs (in the way of culinary delights), but it's the place to go for much more than baked goods! They have a tremendous menu -- accessible not only by walking through the door (in any one of six different cafes in the greater metropolitan Seattle area), but through DoorDash, any number of other delivery options, and the internet. Customer service is literally unrivaled! They set the standards... and, frankly, in addition to what they sell in the way of food, they should train other corporations in how their employees should regard their customers -- and avoid all the preachy "virtue signaling" in the process! They just do such a great job! Their baked goods are so good, we make a point of having breakfast and coffee here at least once during a business or personal visit to the Seattle area... but, their people are a delight to work with. The coffee is excellent, the service is superlative, and there are just sooooooo many choices that promise to ruin a diet: frankly, their culinary delights are worth walking an extra mile or two. My partner has lived most of her life in the Seattle area and the four cafés that sell Macrina products have become a touchstone for her: living in Whistlestop, Arizona, we make it a "must-do" to stop in one of the now six cafés that are part of the business. The people here at the corporate home office are very easy and pleasant to work with as well, and Johnathan deserves a special thank you and well-done for helping to make this Christmas a special one for my partner, who is an excellent cook in her own right. (Can't specify why, because she might stop in to leave her own Yelp review and I don't want to ruin the surprise!) read more

Fun visit to the factory store. There are a few parking spaces for restaurant visitors (small compact spots). The items are pretty pricey but tasty. There are a few seasonal items but for the majority its the same ole. I would recommend their bagel and whipped cream cheese! The bagel however wont last beyond a day if you take it home. The cakes are yummy and not too sweet. Check it out if you are in the neighborhood on a weekday morning! read more

If you are anywhere in a local non-Starbucks place here it is likely that the delicious pastries are from Macrina. Knowing that the cafe was near by and this was a Macrina bakery also I wanted to check it out as my favorite are the cinnamon rolls. The rolls at this location are different than what I get at my local cafe or PCC but equally delicious and larger! Cafe is small but does have some seating. It's not near much but if you want to experience more than what you typically see at your cafe this is a good place to try. Staff is super friendly and fast! read more

I loved this place so much. Kind of in a weird location, but once you find it, it's so worth the search. We just wanted some bagels and coffee on a road trip. Zach got a bagel sandwich and I went with a classic bagel and scchhhhmear. You could tell everything was freshly made and yet the service was so friendly and fast. As you can tell by my photo, I had to just dive in, even at the risk of getting cream cheese up my nose. I promise I wasn't trying to snort it, despite how good it was... read more

Definitely love this bakery! They've been on my list for a very long time, but their hours can make it hard to get down there. I've finally had the time to go down there a few times, and I'll keep on coming back as much as possible. Thus far, I walk in for bread and end up getting temped by the pastry case! All of the breads I've had have clearly been fresh baked and baked by an experienced person. Peanut butter cookie?? OOH YES! Kinda totally forgot the fork marks that make a PB cookie a PB cookie, but I forgive them. Large enough that I ate it over 2 sittings and the perfect texture. Black walnut banana bread was also amazing. I don't even like walnuts, but it was calling out to me and I just had to get it. Warmed with a little butter? Mmmhmm. Awesome customer service each time. I was chuckling to myself the first time I came in here because the employee cheerfully said "welcome back!'" as I walked in...he knew. Definitely recommended, can't wait until things go back to normal so I can sit down and get a sandwich here sometime! read more

Our first time visiting this bakery'. My husband saw a IG advertisement of a breakfast sandwich. So off we went to grab the wonderful photographed biscuit. This location has a warehouse next to the bakery retail store. This gave me an added reassurance that all bake goods we were going to overwhelm ourselves in were all freshly made. Not only does Macrina offer a array of breakfast eats, but also cakes and muffins, lunch sandwiches and readymade dinner for families Service: it was great!!! The attendants were friendly and knowledgeable. COVID: the bakery followed the COVID restrictions, with 6ft distanced stickers on the floor to serve as a guide for customers. Food: I got the Carne Sandwich which was tuna salad on a croissant so good. And my hubby got sausage and egg biscuit sandwich. Cuz I'm greedy, I got me a bite and it was so good. And Big!! Quite a mouthful serves warm Are you hoping for the fabulous photos of food? Well, you going to have to wait cuz we INHALED our food. All I have is this... read more

This is a perfect little spot. I'll start with the service. The first thing that happened when I walked in and said it was my first time was to get personal recommendations on the employees' favorites, and she helped me find the drink and food I wanted. Then there's the food. Oh my god, the food. I can't remember the last time I had a breakfast sandwich so good. My Only note was for them to have their own brand of hot sauce, and lo and behold to the side they had that very thing. No notes, just perfect. Same with the coffee, what a fantastic drink. This place is a must, and I'll be back for sure. read more

Unbelievable! For Thanksgiving dinner, we purchased Porcini Harvest Roll Tray. It is a round tray package of 6 rolls. The first person to take a roll took one bite and spit it out! The rest of the roll was sampled by everyone else at the table. Not one person liked this roll. The person who brought this package of rolls said it was sold with a ribbon tied to it all fancy. So, the eye appeal was there, but not the flavor. A total waste of hard earned money. read more

This beautiful bakery was a wonderful find on a day when I was deeply let down by the chain Panera. I purchased a slice of quiche which was extremely delicious and cheesey. A little runny but i was ok with that. The flavor was perfect and the crust was light and buttery the way it should be! The squash bread has just enough spice but not too much. The seeds and nuts in it make it extra special. The price for both was also reasonable. Come check this place out and treat yourself!!! read more

After staying at next-door Belltown Court, we walked into Macrina seeking a quick breakfast and hot coffee. As we entered we were greeted with a bakery case decorated with fresh pastries ranging from sweet to savory! But our breakfast of choice was the salmon bagel with chive cream cheese! Coming in at only $8, this was definitely a worthy deal. You can choose from a variety of bagels, and the salmon was fresh (neither slimy nor smelly) and generously portioned. I highly recommend pairing it with the chive CC! I only wish the coffee was a bit stronger, but that could be my fault for getting a single espresso in a 12oz cup. read more
