I love this location! Right across from the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park, it’s a great way to start or end a nice walk. Lots of different baked goods to choose from - coffee cakes, pastries, cinnamon rolls, desserts, and heartier fare, and a big selection of drinks hot or cold. They have plenty of indoor seating including tables and booths, and outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly and patient (it’s hard to choose what food to get) and their stock levels are always good - unlike other bakeries (I went at 3pm and they had a big selection still!).

Just 10/10! I loved their mocha. During my 10 days in Seattle, i came here almost everyday since it was located right next to my Airbnb. The vibe is excellent, their bread is so delicious, and awesome vibe for work or just relaxing

Update 2025: Still coming nearly every week and still enjoy it very much. Menu changes aren't always our favorites, and the downsizing of portions and options well...that's the world we live in. Still love the staff, the vibe, and tasty treats. Often wish the place were a little bit bigger, as during busy times there is literally nowhere to sit. Price of popularity! Original review: We have been coming here weekly since this place opened over Summer 2023 for a date-brunch, and we just love it here. It is very popular, and while it is sad that items on the menu are often out when we get there, we always find something to enjoy regardless. My recommendation: always have two back-ups for whatever you want to order from the menu. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and it's just such a pretty place to hang out. I also meet here with my American Sign Language social group weekly, and it is so welcoming for all of us there to sip coffee and chat. Definitely recommend.

This bakery and cafe it’s my favorite. The food is fresh and delicious. The coffee tastes amazing. Also it’s a good place to dine in.

Lovely bright airy space with lots of mixed seating. Prepare to share tour table as it is community seating. Lots of folks meeting to catch up or work on their laptops/ work meetups. Good solid coffee with very poor latte art- doesn’t take away from the taste though. You line up to place your order at the counter- they take your order and then walk over to billing. Service for this portion was efficient and friendly. The baristas and waitress seem overworked and not as happy as the first counter staff. Takes a little away as it’s almost a lackluster, check off the order ( think mcdonalds) type of service. They are known for their bread, pastries- stick to those and you wont be disappointed. That would be 5 stars for food. If you get any of their lunch or other menu items which are made to order- would put it at 2 stars for taste and likely not worth the money when you have so many other options nearby for good food. We tried a slice of cake- excellent, latte- excellent ( sans art), chicken pot pie- very buttery/ oily with mild flavors, verdura sandwich- lacked salt or any flavors, the olives on the side provided most of the flavor, bread was good but you can likely make something better at home. Great place if you are meeting someone for coffee and a snack or want to work. Might get busy and tougher to find a spot during meal times or evenings/ weekends.

Great neighborhood bakery. Good array of tasty options. The raspberry croissant was taste treat. Bagels solid. Of course busy on weekends. Hard to run in and out quickly. Weekdays no problem. Giant park right out the door. Will go back.

Gone here a couple times and it’s delicious! A large variety of pastries to choose from and their lunch menu is great. Everything pictured tasted fresh! Would recommend the Marionberry jam biscuit - it’s my favorite thing. This location though is always crowded and kind of hard to get a seat.

I have never been, everyone raves so I went to the one on Roosevelt. Nice staff but I paid $9 for half of their carne sandwich and there was nothing but bread! My first clue should have been that the box was light as a feather. I took it out and there was barely any chicken, no peppers, just pesto spread on a slice of bread. Never going back there again! Over priced and don’t deliver the goods

Absolutely addicted to Macrina Bakery. Funny story.. I discovered them through a coffee shop selling their pastries. Frustrated that my favorite Morning Glory muffins were always selling out (I would literally call on my way to make sure I could reserve one) I finally asked where they get them from. Divine timing and this new location opened not too long after. With no less love for the MG muffins, the favorites have expanded: Orange hazelnut pinwheel Verdura quiche Red velvet cake Saving the best for last - sparkling water on tap.

-1. Presentation - Breakfast sandwiches. A matter of opinion, but hot tomatoes and avocado isn't what I was expecting, given there was no warning on their menu. +1. Customer Service. Answered all my questions and was friendly from start to finish. +1. Ambience. Plenty of seating, if you like community/beer hall style seating. -1. Dine-in Service. Except for dropping off my meal, guests are encouraged to bus their own tables. This after presenting them with a gratuity line at the register. +1. Cleanliness. Most tables I approached were clean and the condiment, self-service stations were also clean. However, there were several table sections that needed a cleaning. Background Entering, I was happy to see there was no one in line. Reviewing the menu, I chose the Cate Sandwich. Reviewing the menu online to confirm ingredients, Macrina states the Cate Sandwich contains - "Avocado and tomato and an over easy egg* and fromage blanc on our Cornetto". Seated at our table, I was provided the sandwich around 5 minutes later. That's when I learned why. Despite not stating it in their menu, after asking someone at the counter, I learned the sandwiches were pre-made. Which means, when I examined and ate my sandwich, the avocado was hot, the tomatoes hot, the ham and egg (should be hot), and the fromage blanc was (naturally) hot. Overall, still not a bad sandwich. Now, if that's the way they want to present their sandwich, at $11, I might add, then that's up to them. I'm not going to tell them how to cook. But, the idea of hot avocado and hot tomato isn't that attractive. Nor is the notion that someone is reheating a sandwich, after cooking it once before. Obviously, Macrina isn't a trailblazer in this space. But, it's still kinda dumb to sell a re-heated sandwich, when you could simply make a fresh one, when there's no one around. I'm sure I'd rate the bakery a lot higher if they did. By the way, my comparison comes against Grand Central Bakery that makes their sandwiches on demand and not in advance. And they charge close to the same rate.

Big fan of Macrina's breads, though I typically get those elsewhere closer to home. I like coming in here for a scone or pastry treat then walking the neighborhood or the park across the street. The verdura veggie sandwich I tried recently was also very tasty. They start running out of lunch items mid-afternoon in my experience. And it can also be difficult to find indoor table space if you're planning to stay. Minus one star for those mishaps at this location.

Came here for brunch last weekend and it's such a cute bakery. It's self seating so we got in line and took a look at the goods and made our order. The quiche was perfect to start the day with my latte and we shared a sticky bun. The servers were all very helpful and there was both still and sparkling water on tap. This was such a nice place to start the day!

Great cafe and bakery near the maple leaf park. They have fresh bread and pastries, and they also have good coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating. Order and wait on the side to pick up. They also have in house made dog treats, so fun. Matcha is ok.

We were very excited for the opening of a new Macrina Bakery, but after visiting several times since they opened in June 2023, I'm sad to say that it is underwhelming here. TL;DR: their bread is good! Their sandwiches are not. Some of the pastries are good. Ambiance/amenities are good. If you want hot food or coffee there are better and more affordable places to go in the neighborhood. I've tried a range of items here - breakfast sandwich, lunch sandwich, cookies and pastries, and coffee/cold brew. SANDWICHES - (for reference I have tried the Italiano Breakfast Sandwich, and the Demi Baguette Sandwich) such a bad deal and SOO bland. There is hardly anything in the sandwiches, and I'm honestly surprised by how bland and tasteless they are. After the first couple of bites, I actually ended up bringing the rest home with me to add more stuff to because they were just not enjoyable to eat. The bread itself in both cases was good, however. Do yourself a favor and get a breakfast sandwich from local cafes Cloud City, Javasti, Blue Saucer, or literally anywhere else for half the price. SCONES (blueberry) - I am not a fan of their scone consistency here. It is very cakey and bready, and manages to be dry and tasteless at the same time. BISCUIT WITH JAM - after the terrible scone experience, I expected to not like the biscuit - but it was actually VERY good! I recommend this. ALMOND CROISSANT - pretty good. A bit smaller and on the dry/toasty side, but still good. GINGER MOLASSES COOKIE - great! This is one of their staple items and one of the better ginger molasses cookies you'll find in town. They also sell these in bags of mini sizes. We've had a few other seasonal/specialty pastries here and they have been hit or miss, nothing to write home about. PORCINI MUSHROOM HARVEST ROLLS - bought these for Thanksgiving and they were yummy. LATTES - it's fine, it's a latte, no complaints. COLD BREW - expensive; for a cheaper cold brew go up the street. STILL/SPARKLING WATER ON TAP - one of my favorite features here! Self serve, and complimentary. LOGISTICS/ORDERING - the whole logistics of how they do their operations and ordering here is beyond frustrating. Customers are often confused by what to do from the minute they walk up to the door. You are instructed to walk into one door, which deposits you into a line for the bread/pastry case. It seems like you are supposed to order your pastries here. What if you just want to order a hot food item not in the case? Or grab and go bread? Or coffee/drink only? Do you still wait in the pastry line or go straight to the cashier? Is it for here or to go? Sometimes you order with the pastry people and sometimes they tell you to order at the cashier. There's no rhyme or reason and it causes unnecessary frustration for everyone. Maybe some posted instructions would help the masses. Macrina is also known to be *not* a dog friendly establishment (which is fine, I can respect that), however they are located in one of the most dog concentrated neighborhoods as well as right across from a park where the entire neighborhood (and then some) brings their dogs, and these people all want to go to visit Macrina, but there is no place or even room for people to tie up or wait with their dogs other than standing awkwardly on the sidewalk. Everyone hovers around the entrance with their dog and jams up the entrance and sidewalk. We witnessed a woman literally tie her dog TO THE DOOR HANDLE OF THE ENTRANCE....(maybe to make a statement?) I've also seen a woman bring her dog inside anyway, in her arms, and go up to the counter to pick up her food. Their outdoor seating area is a joke, not very accessible, and also borderline dangerous (raised up on a narrow ledge with no safety barrier/railing). Not sure why they didn't make better use of their parking lot area.

Finally there's a coffee shop right across the street from my favorite park. Finally there's a rival to cloud city coffee and another option for coffee lovers. I believe this is their 3rd or 4th location in seattle and they seem to offer amazing pastries and above average latte, way better than cloud city in my opinion. The place is huge and always packed on the weekends. It's really frustrating because the wait can be at least 15-20 min, it might be because this location is new but only time will tell. Oh and I forgot to mention that it's a bit pricy, one oat milk latte will run you $8.49

Congrats on 30 years in business, a well loved, popular Seattle OG - Macrina Bakery & Cafe! Today is the grand opening at their Maple Leaf location (6/30/23). Nerd alert as I was here by 0622 and did not take long for a lengthy line to form behind me. It was great to see the well stocked pastry and bread case with speed racks full of product! The sights! The aromatic smells! Love the layout of this larger site. Plentiful assortment of indoor seating, lovely decor, windows at this corner site allowing plentiful natural light. Bought a plain corneto, two chocolate cornetos, sticky bun, orange hazelnut pinwheel and an 8oz mocha. Observing a lengthy line, but the Macrina team are pros anticipating this. Well organized, efficient, and welcoming! This will become a neighborhood anchor, especially being well situated across the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. On a Metro bus line and decent street parking availability. Very happy to have this location in NE Seattle, much closer than my visits to their SoDo, Belltown, and Queen Anne sites. A big fan of Macrina since the beginning. Congrats to Leslie Mackie and the entire Macrina team! Top notch for your viennoiserie, boulangerie, coffee needs. Great welcoming neighborhood location. A highly recommended spot!

One of my favorite bakeries but parking at this location can be tedious. I live in the neighborhood and walk there but if you don't have that option you'll find yourself parking quite a distance away into the neighborhood on a busy day.

New favorite bakery/ breakfast spot !! There's ample indoor & outdoor seating. Service is quick & friendly. The pastries & sandwiches are SO GOOD. We loved the breakfast sandwich & BLT. The coffee is also great. My latte was amazing. Right across the street from a park too! Perfect for grabbing something quick before taking the kiddos to go play. Will definitely be back (:

Fairly new Macrina location. It's the same quality, delicious coffee and bakery items galore. The space is a nice size in a corner building across from the park with indoor and outdoor seating. It's street parking in a mostly residential area. This place has been packed since it opened. If you go during typical peak times for cafes, it may be a challenge to get a seat.

Their breakfast sandwiches are good (I love the biscuits they use for them!) but I find the cookies and a lot of breakfast pastries (e.g., the cherry hand fry and the croissants) to be disappointing. The other highlights have been the morning roll and the orange roll.

I love Macrina, but this was not my best experience... Okay, let me explain. I really love the new location. It's clean and beautiful and always has the most beautiful pastry and bread creations, that is consistent here. Quality always seems to be excellent. But here is where I'm struggling a bit with my experience at this location, and I acknowledge that there are trends in every aspect of life, including gastronomy, but I just came in for a pastry and a latte, and to check it out. But they only served cold brew. I'm not a fan of cold brew, but I thought maybe it would be good here. But they unfortunately didn't sell me on it... It soured me a little bit on the coffee side of the Macrina brand, maybe because it just opened they don't have it set up yet, or maybe they just wanted to go the exclusive cold brew route, but I was disappointed in lack of options here. By the way, my raspberry croissant was amazing. Messy, but amazing, LOL. And hey, if you like cold brew, you'll probably love this place. But it's a solid 3 stars for me.

Already a huge Macrina Bakery & Cafe fan! But this was our first visit to this newer location. The cafe had a well thought out layout. And the neighborhood location seemed to be a favorite because it was constantly busy while we were there. Service was fantastic! The coffee, sweet & savory treats did not disappoint. All were delicious and worthy of another visit very soon.

Yummm! Never met a beautiful crafted baguette I didn't like. Macrina is just a staple. But also: never been to such a beautiful macrina before. I've been to their bwlltown location forever ago. Then came capital hill. But this! Such a stunning decor. Absolutely beautiful: architectural envy from outside in. I love the high ceilings, chandeliers, gorgeous coffee bar ( marbles), beautiful booths, luxe chairs. It's just a feast for my eyes. Luckily, their food matches the decor. I mean! I can eat their baguettes for days. A basket of fresh baked baguettes and a giant latte is my goto happy meal. And a perfect lunch. Throw in their pastries/ Yumm! Spice walnut was perfectly fall. All the flavors: cardamom! Walnut. Just Yumm. I'm a pumpkin fan as well their croissants. But Cornetto! Takes you back home. Like Roma Cornetto taste. I love it. I wish I can have a bottomless Cornetto brunch. Chef kiss. Did I mention the decor? I wish I can work from here all day with unlimited Cornetto and lattes. My unlimited would be 2 Cornettos and 3 lattes. Or 4 lattes. But would be fun! Free parking outside on the street.

The style and ambience is unparalleled, however get ready to wait in line and shell out a pretty penny. The interior design is on point and I'm so glad they've come to Maple leaf. The bread is very good, but not a daily splurge for us

I want to complain about a couple of things, but I still don't dare give one of my favorites less than 5 stars. What to watch out for at this location: espresso drinks; breakfast strata (raw fennel and raw potatoes? What the...); inefficient seating and long lines to order and to pick up; cane salad (check the ingredients - the salad Niçoise is really good; ham salad, not so much). Things that are great: soufflés, delicate fruity desserts, bread. For a while, they had this delicious orange cake that is better than anything. The location is nice - across the street from the Maple Leaf park and playground. Both make it a good walking destination.

I frequent the SoDo location regularly to pick up lunch for work meetings and have gotten to know the crew well, so I was very excited that the north Seattle location was opening closer to home. Stopped in on opening weekend to check out the new digs and picked up a couple of items including the apple and bing cherry tartlet and a slice of the chocolate orange coffeecake. We took our goods across the street to enjoy at the park. The tartlet was delicious and I do enjoy their thick crust. The coffeecake was moist, orange flavor was subtle and would have liked the chocolate more evenly distributed throughout the cake. Overall, the new store is bright and spacious, staff is friendly, food is comparable to their other locations and there's plenty of street parking. I'm looking forward to future stops including a walk around the park!

10 out of 10 on the baked goods, cappuccino, friendly staff and decor. Super chic design of the interior, feels warm, communal and welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful with food recommendations. The most important part was if the baked goods met expectations and they totally did. We had the Brioche egg sandwich which was incredible. Also enjoyed the blueberry scone and morning glory muffin. I can't wait to come back and try more. I'm a baker so I totally appreciate the quality and amazingness of every item.

What a great new location! Yummy food and delicious coffee made for a wonderful visit. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating and the vibe is great. I LOVED the fact that they had a self-serve water station that had both still and sparkling water at it-truly amazing! Customer service was fast and friendly.

Fun to have Macrina in Maple Leaf. Great space with a good amount of seating. Friendly staff and line seems to move fairly quickly, they can get long sometimes. I've gotten a handful of pastry and food items. I find myself underwhelmed more often than not (eg muffin, bialy sandwich, bagel). I did enjoyed the carne salad (nicoise)! Coffee is great. Overall, glad they're in the neighborhood and fun space. I'll have to try some of their other items!

Something about being at Macrina makes me feel like I'm in another city, and it makes me happy. They have a wide selection of pastries and bread, large windows that let the light in, and seats that somehow always tend to be occupied. Macrina seems like one of the better bakeries in Seattle, and I've enjoyed most of the things I've had a chance to try, including their scones, quiche and coffee. Their cookies are my favorite and the gingerbread man was so good even my partner (who usually dislikes gingerbread) liked it! Their breakfast sandwiches are quite pricey for what you get however -- the italiano breakfast sandwich I got the other day tasted delicious but was so small for the price.

Came here for a friend reunion of sorts. They didn't have 2 of the entrees we wanted and forgot about my chai tea. All in all, what I ordered was merely okay. Tea was good. I'll go back another time and update this review.

Service was great, staff were incredibly patient and accommodating. The pastries are probably the selling point (I only had the drip coffee and it wasn't the best), but be warned the average pastry is roughly $6 each so you'll rack up quite the bill if you aren't careful (learn from my delicious mistakes).

Super cute spot in maple leaf! I love working remotely from here! There's a ton of comfortable seating, the baristas are all super friendly, the WiFi is reliable, and they have gluten free options. My go to is a chai latte and Marion berry biscuit.

I'm a former pastry chef. I went to the opening and it was amazing! Everything was delicious, moist, and baked very well. The lattes were delicious, the staff were friendly, patient, and seemed very happy to be there and help their customers with recommendations. The interior is beautiful and it was a very great experience overall. It was a wonderful vibe there. I feel like any bad reviews I saw from the opening are individuals that lack all senses and are unhappy in their lives and want to spread their unhappiness. Periodtttt. It was a wonderful opening and I plan to go back soon for more delicious baked goods and lattes!

Macrina has some of the best fresh baked bread in the city. Their new Maple Leaf location is conveniently located across the street from Maple Leaf Park, so its a great place to stop after you play pickleball or after letting the kids play in the playground. It does get incredibly busy on weekend mornings, and only street parking is available -- so plan to wait ahead of time (or send a friend to go pickup things while you are at the park)!

i drove from everett a the way to seattle and ordered a bunch of bakery items. i tried to pay with a $50 bill and change would have been less than $20. they would not accept a $50 bill even with a large order. no exceptions. i drove 50 miles to be turned away. no courtesy, kindness or concern for a fellow human. They are not empowered to make an exception to help out a fellow person. send me on my way to drive another 25 miles home without anything. probably a pretty good scone if you are someone they find worthy to help.

My friend (who loves baked goods more than anything) and I went to opening day and everything was dry and tasted stale. The service was great but the pastries were not. Here are our two cents: Mini blueberry cheesecake: watery consistency, crust was soggy and tasteless, and the cheesecake had a sour taste that was not desirable. Inedible. Composted. Passion fruit cup: It was like the cream had gone bad. Inedible and my friend was seriously offended by this particular dessert as the cream tasted off. Composted. Strawberry vanilla bean cupcake: Dry and tasteless. Composted. Blueberry scone: Edible but still not very good at all. My friend ate half of it. Cinnamon roll: Dry and too dense. Composted. Apple turnover: Dry and tasteless. Composted. Buttermilk biscuit: I spit it out. Not worth the sugar, fat, and calories. Tasted stale. In a nutshell, everything tasted dry and stale. Nothing was good. We spent $30 something and composted all but the scone. I will not be eating any pastries from Macrina again. Do yourself a favor and go get your sweet and savory pastries from Backyard Bakery on Saturday in front of Math 'n' Stuff.

Go for the coffee and pastries, avoid the sandwiches. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was the greasiest thing I've ever eaten. The bread couldn't even handle it and it fell apart immediately.

Pasties are delicious, but pricey. Small bag of cookies are about $10. Chocolate croissant $5.25. This cashier guy this morning, as he scanned each item he said "NICE!" every single time (he was pretty slow). We noticed he said "Thank you! Have a great day!" to a man who bought a cup of coffee before us who tipped. I didn't tip him as I can't tip everyone after spending over $40 for a few pastries and cookies. Guess what, he didn't even say thank you. My kid said "Thank you" and he kind of said "thank you" back as he was already talking to a customer behind us. Gotta make good impression and hope that person would tip? That was very pathetic. Again, their pastries and cookies are delicious but that customer service was very disappointing. There was nothing "NICE!" about the guy.

OK so this local chain is absolutely delicious, my husband and I attend To Go and each get our own breakfast sandwich and share some sort of sweet. My only problem with the place is the seating is completely weird there are large tables that are taking up too much. Space And aren't really comfortable to share, there are people working there that are taking up two or three seats. But that's beside the point. I always get the ham and cheese brioche, it is a delicious melty pastry with ham and cheese and I think maybe some sort of béchamel inside. My husband gets the Italian sandwich on brioche, which is twice as big then the sweet in the fall has been the apple caramel pie. He likes coffee I do not. He gets a lovely cappuccino and I have the choice of still or sparkling water from a tap, I love that. The line moves quickly and it's just a lovely little place in a neighborhood that doesn't have much in it. Try it.

Do NOT order the grilled cheese. It's like eating a crouton lightly sprinkled with cheese! Where was the cheese in this grilled cheese?

What a wonderful location with excellent customer service. Macrina is my go to for focaccia, pinwheel roll, baguettes, and many of their lunch menu items. The management and staff is really caring and want to commend Nicole, Shalice and Tucker for going above and beyond. Raya is always super helpful at the bakery counter and there seems to be lots of joy and care in the customer service from every staff (apologies if I didn't name you all by name). I love seeing the fresh baked goods out of the oven and knowing that there is always rotation. To the corporate office, please commend this amazing location for a job well done and I hope this location gets more reviews. Bo

Been to this new bakery in the neighborhood a few times now, good food & coffee, a bit on the pricey side, usually very busy & open room is very loud so we get takeout, makes for a nice weekend walking destination.

One of my favorite bakeries in Seattle. I recently went to the newer Mapleleaf neighborhood location, and even though it was busy, the line moved fast. I got the savory scone which was flakey and buttery, as well as a loaf of bread to go. Lots of locals, families, and people of all ages frequent the location. It's across the street from Reservoir Park where you can eat if the place gets too crowded.

Good rye bread and tasty snickerdoodles . Nice place across from the Maple Leaf park for indoor or outdoor seating. It's nice and new and bougie.

Leisurely staff. Unmelted chocolate flaking around inside the iced "mocha" which was so flavorless i was debating heating it up it a microwave to dissolve the rest of the chocolate. ended up getting a vanilla latte in place of it, which tasted watery. nice interior and friendly staff but the coffee is just sad. bakery has tons of items, i got a free cookie because the one i chose was "sad looking."

I'm not reviewing the bakery and cafe itself, just one of its products I purchased at the grocery store. In regards to their "Everything Sourdough Bagels" I found that it does not have "everything" on it. Every everything bagel I have purchased has had little spicy (garlic?) bits on it which is the main reason I purchase them. These did not! :( . These were also very dark in color, like they had been cooked to long but tasted fine. I'm just disappointed that there were no "spicy bits". Won't be buying them again.

Best chicken pot pie ever! Flaky crust, tasty filling that didn't make the crust soggy.

Beautiful bakery, much needed in our neighborhood, pastries looks amazing. excellent service on my first visit, chicken pot pie was delicious, just a bit disappointed of the temperature of my drip coffee not close to being hot, I hope my feedback to the staff help. Over all, it was a great experience.

Love the gluten-free options!!! They have quite a few for pastries. The establishment is very clean as well.

Everything is delicious, great location. It's good even via doordash! The breakfast brioche sandwich and the orange pinwheel are my favorites.
