Macrina Bakery & Cafe

I really wish I could give this Bakery Cafe a higher rating b/c I love going to/supporting neighborhood spots. The food here is excellent. I feel like they use quality ingredients and great recipes. Customer service is also typically very friendly. Where they lose points with me is cleanliness (the lack thereof). I understand that Saturdays are a busy day but having folks take the time to tidy should also be a priority. The floor, tables and seats in the front nook area where I was sitting were all dirty. And the ground in food/dirt on the floor looked like it came from way more than just one day of not being swept and mopped. I really hope on my next visit that I find things a little cleaner to improve the overall customer experience.

Amazing!!!! Almond milk Cortana and Carne Quiche were perfect! My wife got the Sticky Bun and a Mexican Chocolate Mocha. Great atmosphere and vibe, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Will be returning often.

Absolutely delicious food. Despite coming mid-day, everything still felt super fresh. Very friendly staff too. And they have sparkling water on tap!

A large assortment of pastries and desserts and delicious coffee paired with the light and airy atmosphere makes for a great experience. Would definitely come back to try some of their lunch offerings but it’s a great place to grab a bite!

Great place for a small bite - they have a HUGE range of options, that your biggest problem is going to be making a choice. We got a blueberry scone and a savory swirl which were both delicious. Not a fan of their cappuccino or the mocha however.. this is also a good place to get a bit of work done too, even though it gets crowded, it doesn’t get loud. The wait for coffee does get quite long (we waited 15mins) on the weekend.

Some of the pastries are dried out and stale. Many of the pastries aren’t as high a quality as other bakeries I’ve frequented. For the price, the food should be high quality. Some of the staff is friendly and helpful. Some are not, such as the red haired manager. He doesn’t listen nor care about customers’s concerns. I will never ever go back. They are not worth my hard earned money!!

I was completely overwhelmed walking into this delightful bakery/cafe. The person who was at the front was kind and understanding in my bewilderment. The food was absolutely phenomenal - my partner said the Brioche breakfast sandwich easily made his top ten breakfast sandwiches. Coffee was absolutely perfect (classic macchiato and cafe au lait)! Can't wait to come back to visit again and maybe finally make up my mind about what kind of sweet I want to try!!

Super cute and yummy bakery! My friends and I came here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. The food was great and arrived pretty quickly. The place was packed and you can clearly tell that it's a local favorite.

Been to Macrina Bakery a couple of times. Closest bakery to my sister's place in Capitol Hill. Even in the cold of November, it is generally a quick one to one and a half block walk to there. As my sister & brother-in-law generally tend to sleep in (as opposed to early bird me), it is sometimes easier to grab a coffee and pastry at Macrina while waiting for them to wake up. I have both sweet and savory favorites there. The orange hazelnut roll is basically an adult and mildly sweet version of a Pillsbury orange roll. The ham & cheese brioche utilizes its crispy ham to wonderfully contrast with the mildly sweet brioche bread. And the bacon & egg bialy sandwich is basically a large version of a bagel sandwich. The prices are a little high, but I only go there a few times a year. Recommend and will repeat!

Very cute and quaint neighborhood spot. We randomly found this place doing a traveling feast on a Sunday while visiting Seattle. Very popular and saw a lot of people walking up from their homes. It was packed and with good reason. The pastry selection was amazing! You order your food and drink and hope you can locate a place to sit. This is the place where you can come and relax for the day and read a book. Customer service was top notch, considering a line was growing behind us. The clerk gave me his suggestion from two pastries I was considering, and I ended up choosing the morning bun. The morning bun was their flaky croissant baked in a muffin style tin. It had this light syrup/sugar toping that made it so good. It was very simple and delicious, which is what I like. It had the right amount of flakiness that you want in a croissant. We also had the pecan sticky bun. It was enormous in size and had a great texture. The pecans tasted fresh, and the sweetness was not overpowering. You would not be disappointed if you ordered this delectable pastry. Highly recommend trying this place. It's off the beaten trail and worth it if you're exploring areas outside of the typical touristy Seattle!

A really nice spot with parking( much needed in capitol hill). Excellent spot to work or meet up with a friend to catch up over coffee. I like that they have half and full price lunch sandwiches and are not overpriced. They do run out of some of the sandwiches around 2 pm though. A good number of vegetarian options makes this even better. What stood out and earned that 5th star was the high quality service from every single staff member there this evening. Saw a couple of single ladies come in with a book and grab a sandwich and coffee to sit and read for a bit, some folks just meeting up for a chat or just working on laptops. Every single person was greeted politely, not rushed and the staff were chatting to each other in between and it was clear they all got along well- excellent positive vibe in this place. Nice community bench seating and a few sofas as well. Coffee was on point- go an oatmilk mocha and a slice of their chocolate orange cake. The cake was ok- seemed a day old or so. But they are known for their breads, so i would settle for my forst choice of the verdura sandwich which was unfortunately sold out. I spent about 3 hours catching up with a friend, where we were the last to leave and were cery gently nudged- but they were so unobtrusive though we clearly overstayed . Appreciate that and would be back cos of the good atmosphere, solid coffee and lots of food options.

This is a great spot. I love to stop by here when we're in the neighborhood for a coffee and to see what delish baked goods they have on hand. They've got tables inside and on both sides of the building if you prefer to sit outside. You can go here for a loaf of bread or a nice morning BLT. It's always served with a smile. A+

My first time at this Macrina Bakery location and quite frankly it wasn't the best experience. Pretty disappointed! 1) Love the variety of gourmet baked goods and artisan breads they offer - Look super fresh and delicious 2) Ambiance of the cafe was bright and inviting 3) As for the service, I'd say it is below average even though the place was pretty busy. The server who took our order lacked attentiveness and didn't even bother to ask if we were dining in or taking out. 3) We ordered: Buttermilk biscuit- Soft, fluffy and delicious Grilled cheese sandwich- Soggy and Average tasting (I've had much better ones) Iced Vanilla latte- Good ; Had a nice balance of sweetness and acidity

Cute little spot with some yummy treats. We were visiting from CA and my nephew took us there. Everything tasted great, but a few things could have been heated up better (cold pastries aren't as good as fresh and/or warm obviously). Loved the dill scone and the Marion berry biscuit (?). Even bought one of each to take back home :)

One of our favorite bakeries! The family favorites are the Quiche - they just melt in your mouth. the goodness of eggs along with fresh veggies is mouth watering! next are their sandwiches, the verdura sandwich on their local foccassica bread and their in house foccacia bread is good! we loved their banh mi sandwiches as well.. and ofcourse, we always get their challah or bread. you can also find their challah in whole foods (if you are lucky!) lastly, nothing like a hot coffee to sip while you taste these mouthwatering dishes!

Submitted an order for pick up on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, we got hit with that ice storm the day before so they were backed up on pick up orders as well as their wholesale inventory I believe. I don't blame them for slower service, but it was a frustrating seeing one person handle all the orders where there were ~8 others for the cafe service standing around not doing much while there was no line. But as far as baked goods go, they're one of the best in Seattle imo. Seattle doesn't have a huge pastry culture (more coffee). Blueberry scones are massive, morning rolls are tasty and we were pleasantly surprised by the Bui buns (although pricey)

Many say Macrina is a Seattle institution, it may be a local favorite but I cannot agree with this sentiment given my latest visit. This place needs serious work and a lot more finesse to be a top anything long-term. PROS: - Great neighborhood location, lots of street parking and limited parking available in front of the shop - indoors and outdoors seating options with lots of cozy comfy chairs and areas to sit, lounge area in front - Wide variety of baked goods available and on display - serious about their coffee which at this point is expected in this town CONS: - The place is totally filthy with what looks like months of crusts and dirt built up on every corner of the floor. I had to dust off old crusts from the seating areas. Table tops were dirty and sticky, no one in this shop cleans anything. The staff has no integrity or care at all for general cleanliness. - The floor was so disgusting that I had a hard time putting my foot down trying to find a clean spot and nearly vomited. - Hilariously overpriced and for what you pay, we expect spotlessly clean environments for your customers and we should not have to bus our own tables. The crowded staff behind the counter is not even willing to bus from time to time to keep customers happy. They have zero customer service training. - Terrible flow management. One server to take orders up front, a huge line forms right as you enter the door and no one is helping this person speed things up. I watched a cluster of employees huddled in front of the cash register just casually chatting instead of helping the front to keep the flow moving. - their bakes are consistently inconsistent, from my general observations and reading other Yelp reviews shouldn't be, especially at these prices. I personally don't recommend Macrina but try out their bakes, see what you think. I also encourage you to try one of those cute local shops or any of the growing number of new Japanese cafes around the city. The Japanese cafes take so much pride in their environment and quality, the inside is always spotless and inviting.

just got a bagel and a mocha, but it was so deliciously classic! i couldn't ask for anything better. great coffee, not too sweet, and the bagel comes huge and toasted perfectly. cute vibe inside and the baristas were lovely!! very glad that my friend took me here

Felt like a kid staring at the display case full of so many different pastries. Asked about their options an was completely convinced I needed to try the roly poly - basically a cinnamon roll on steroids. Apparently they took it away during the pandemic because it was too expensive to make but had go bring it back recently due to popular demand. And the popular demand is definitely justified. This monster of a cinnamon roll was so worth it.

This place is a brand I have tried many times so it was fun to visit a storefront. There is parking, and it is accessible to strollers/wheelchairs. I got an egg sandwich, and it was very good. It had ham, cheese, and some kind of sweet sauce that I loved. There was a line when I got there, and there were a few dogs on the premises, which I am allergic, so it was a bit stressful. But the building is open enough that it wasn't too bad. The staff were friendly and the line moved fast, and the food was in my hand very quickly. I would like to go back with my family on a nice morning as the weather gets nicer.

One of my favorite cafes in Seattle. Amazing pastries, good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Great space. Outdoor seating available.

First three times I went here it was great! I haven't tried their food but their coffee is really good. Today I walked in at 5:45 pm to get a decaf americano but was told they "already shut down decaf". This was super frustrating because they were still open for another 15 minutes and I'm not sure why you would "shutdown decaf" in the afternoon (when people are more likely to order it) BEFORE close. I'm a full time barista with closing shifts and I understand starting closing tasks early, but to take away items needed to make the business money more than 5 minutes before closing is not what I expect :/.

I have been to a Macrina cafe (the one in bell town) and really liked it, but this one has to be my favorite! Really love the location (parking is easy to find) and there is a lot of seating! I went around 11am and was able to find a seat for 2 people. I ordered the Baileys egg sandwich and vanilla latte...so good!!!! I want to come back and try more of their pastries as they have never disappointed.

Posting for a friend who doesn't have yelp- I have been a loyal customer of macrina for years, but I think this will be my last day coming. I am writing this as a worker of the food industry and barista myself. The workers are unbelievably rude and standoffish everytime I go. I feel like an idiot everytime I ask a question. They are constantly out of dishes and refuse to heat up my items. They do not care about there customers, and make it very clear. They glare you down as they check you out, and react according to the tip. If I do not tip, they will not even look at me. Super upsetting, you will be losing my service.

They have a wide variety of bakery items and drinks to choose from. We got the morning roll and it was very good! It was slightly cold in the middle even after they warmed it up, so I'd suggest having them warm it up for longer. The coffee was quite good. Very quick service for the food and drinks. They have free Wi-Fi too, great place to work

Our cafe brought in a few boxes of treats from here. Tried the GF Marionberry Jam Biscuit ($6ish) and Vegan Raspberry Oat Scone ($5ish). They were dense, high quality, fresh - LOVED that they weren't too sweet.

Stumbled upon this gem before my morning business meeting. It's clean, organized, well staffed and conveniently located. Plus they open at 7:00 so if you're up go check it out! Wide array of baked goods and coffees catering to all people!

Mediocre customer service however on the bright side there's more selection of pastries here than the Belltown Macrina. Not sure if I'd be back to this location again.

I was craving a bagel with salmon and cream cheese so I ordered one to go. I knew it'd be pricey but I didn't know that for a $9 bagel plus gratuity ($10) I'd received a bagel that I had to put together myself. Seriously?? I ordered it TO-GO like imagine if I was on my to work and I'd have to apply the cream cheese and salmon myself especially after paying $9? Crazy. I tipped for service but not much was given to me.

COVID TIMES review. We visited the Volunteer Park and we were close by. They have a limited parking lot, but it works. You will feel safe here, all healthy measures have been followed. Masks are required, can't seat indoors but outside they even have wipes for each table. We've been in other Macrina's locations so we knew the food was good. Service was ok. My only recommendation would be get here early otherwise all their bakery products will sold out quickly.

I don't get the hype around this bakery/cafe because everything falls flat for me. I tried a lot of things from their menu (coffee, cake, bagel, cookie, pie) but they were all okay - nothing special. The only thing i like about this place is they have sparkling water fountain LOL But as an asian person, I've never felt unwelcoming atmosphere from the crew. While there are mainly white people in this cafe, I didn't feel unwelcomed/discriminated/unsafe. But i can never speak for everyone and feel sad that some people have negative experience.

Loved stopping by! My friend Faith works at Macrina and I wanted to stop by and support her. I was blown away by the quality of the food and absolutely loved eating my cupcake. My friend got a chocolate mousse cake and it was extremely decadent. If you come to visit this location, you definitely need to go sit out on the patio!

The coffee there is fantastic, but the service could use some work. One particular staff member was quite rude. Despite us arriving an hour and 20 minutes before closing, she didn't want to serve us our coffee in mugs.. she had an attitude.

Full disclosure- I live 2 blocks away from this cafe and go there a couple days a week. 1000% better than the sad old Tullys. Consistently yummy baked goods and breakfast goodies !!! Consistently clean and pleasant environment inside and out. CONSISTENTLY BAD SERVICE. Slow. Indifferent. Slow. Think Pretty Woman Juila Roberts in Rodeo Drive Boutiques. Bad service, call it distain for customers. I have been there on multiple occasions when I walk directly to the pastry case, no other customers in line to order or no other customers at the cash register to pay. 3, 4, and sometimes 5 workers aware of customer entering the cafe and all will be loitering and chatting and perhaps doing non- time sensitive tidying up in the kitchen and then eventually make their way to the case to take the order. I have turned around and left on several occasions, unwilling to put up with BAD SERVICE AGAIN.

If you want a good cafe with amazing bakes come to Macrina Bakery and Cafe. There are multiple locations in the greater Seattle area. The people who work at the cafe are so sweet. This was my first time at Macrina and my good friend brought me because he is a regular. Macrina is super well known for their bakes and I wish I got one of their baked goodies but this makes me want to go back and try it out. ARE THEY BEING COVID SAFE? Yes! They are all wearing masks and enforcing social distancing by placing stickers on the floor to indicate a safe distance from other customers. The employees also remind their customers to stand on the spots indicated on the floor. They also have a few outdoor tables for outdoor seating and sanitizing wipes are provided on the tables. FOOD ITEM: I got my classic iced vanilla latte and the coffee was delicious. But it was a little more on the sweeter side for a vanilla latte so ask to make it less sweet if you don't have a super sweet tooth. TAKEAWAYS: Get a coffee and for sure TRY their baked goods. Don't leave empty-handed. :) I am definitely coming back! For more reviews and photos, follow my ig: @nvc.eats

Awesome bread, cute bakery, lots of places to sit, delicious breakie sammiches, and an actual parking lot We've been coming here fairly consistently trying different breads and food items and have always been happy with the place. Delicious sourdoughs and oatmeal buttermilk loafs

I drove out to Macrina in search of pan de muerto. Unfortunately they were sold out but said we could call ahead the next day to put on hold. I didn't want to walk away empty handed so I opted for a latte and a pumpkin scone. I was jealous I didn't live closer to Macrina because I loved everything I saw. The atmosphere felt like a place I would LOVE to spend a Saturday morning in. And I was really impressed by their bakery display! During my visit, there was no indoor seating and social distancing well enforced. There were a couple of tables for outdoor seating with sanitizing wipes available to wipe down tables. If you're in the area, I highly recommend a visit!

Was recommended as one of the best chocolate chip cookies in Seattle. It's no Levain but definitely a light and chewy classic. Great size too. I enjoyed it overall, but did wish it had a light crunch.

Amazing pastries and breakfast things, my favorite is the dill scone with cream cheese. Usually busy.

Went there late morning on a Sunday and it was relatively busy. The line moved fast and we were able to get a seat without a problem, but had to wait a while for the hot food we ordered (the bialy sandwich and the quiche). The food was very good. Part of the bialy was bordering a little on burnt visually but I couldn't taste a burnt taste except for the tip of the fin in its fish like shape. The bialy was soft and tender and easy to bite through.

Unfortunately not as exciting as it's hyped up to be. A huge selection of pastries for sure, but I think I expected a little bit more. Prices are a bit steep but it's a popular spot so not surprising. Both coffee (espresso) and the quiche arrived burnt so i was definitely disappointed.

It's my favorite bakery and coffee shop in Seattle. There are innovative flavors here which makes this place so unique in itself. I tried a raspberry chocolate cupcake and I think it's one of the best thing I ever had. They have beautiful outdoor sitting, so if you are looking for something in summer to have a good brunch, you must give it a try.

They have a huge selection of pastries, breads, and other food, plus drinks. I ordered a orange hazelnut pinwheel and hibiscus tea and enjoyed both together. The overall vibe is quite nice - they have cute signs and decor, lots of seating and outlets, and tons of natural light thanks to large floor-to-ceiling windows. It's a good place to sit and get some work done, although it can get a bit loud when they're busy. Looking forward to coming back and trying more pastries!

Macrina Bakery, need I say more? I truly LVE this place. This is our first time at the 19th Ave E. location. Be ready to order when you walk in, too many goodies to choose from...that's a good thing. I had a large (paper) cup of cappuccino, although I would've enjoyed it better in a glass cappuccino cup . Hopefully they'll bring those glass cups back, especially for dining in. Friendly staff.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. First off, the first time I came here was to buy cake for my roommate's birthday and their cakes are to die for. I can't remember the ones I got unfortunately but I bought 4 small ones and every single one was amazing. They perfect the cake to be so flavorful, yet not too sweet. Then upon a recent visit again, my boyfriend and I wanted some breakfast and coffee. I never tried their food besides cake so we gave the Ham and Cheese Brioche a go and this is hands-down the best brioche we have tasted in our lives. I know it sounds dramatic but every week my boyfriend asks if we can go get it again, and for me, as someone who isn't the biggest fan of cheese, could definitely eat 5 of these by myself. Will be coming back to try more pastries and dessert!

Cute bakery with very friendly people working behind the counter! The pies, pastries, cookies, tarts were all DELICIOUS!!! My favorites are the chocolate walnut tart and the sugar cookies ! We got too excited and ate them all before taking a picture to post on here ‍‍. Go check this place out!!!

I liked it better in its first incarnation as "The Surrogate Hostess." The present one is an improvement over any Tully's, of course, but... In the afternoon, this place is overflowing with social-media-obsessed teeny-boppers and sometimes their parents, as well as college students. The loaf of potato wheat bread was great, almost as good as a similar loaf found in a typical Parisian bakery. No teapots but the chamomile blend tea was O.K. Nicest bathrooms north of the Olympic Hotel (?). Large seated area in the front by the large windows with only a few actual easy chairs. Everyone else there sits on cushioned seat ledges. Overheard a conversation at the long butcher-style table with two persons apparently from the Gates Foundation, so not only the conversations are banal and chirpy. On a spring day, if you can grab a table outside, you sit just below St. Joseph's, next to the parking lot of the cafe. There seems to be a large choice of sandwiches and deli-style food but I did not have anything. I doubt if any of the baked goods are made on the premises, as I recall was confirmed by staff at the Queen location on West Galer.

I really enjoyed my visit to this bakery. Went for a walk in the arboretum and wanted some good food and coffee. The coffee was great. The cookies were divine. Nice people working there. And plenty of seating. It was a good time. Now the singles who sit at the 8 person tables.. that's a different story (those spatially unaware folks get 1 stars.....) but the place was great!

Tried one of these west Seattle a couple weeks prior... about what I expected. Little bit spendy for the amount of food you get ($9 for a breakfast sandwich) but don't get me wrong, the food is very good along with their wide selection of coffee. Overall I'm satisfied! Thanks Macrina Cafe :)

The biscuit sandwich was really good but the mocha and cinnamon roll weren't anything special. Staff were very friendly and nice though. Went here because Watson's Counter uses one of their breads to make an amazing French toast.

I think they must have had an off day as we were very disappointed. I ordered a pot pie, then got through the line and found out they are out (that was already my second selection). So there then I just decided on a coffee and croissant. Coffee took so long and wasn't worth it. And the Croissant was one of the worst I've had. Grocery store quality with thick firm butter layers while also being surprisingly dry. What the.... My son who loves carbs wouldn't eat it...

Great service and delicious food! Love the market special! They give generous heapings of the avocado on the toast! The waitress was super bubbly and cheerful serving breakfast. Would come again to try the pastries!

The food and pastries are always incredible but almost every time I go, I end up waiting 20 minutes for my beverages...

Service was a little bit snooty, but my oat-milk cappuccino was good. Their scone was a little bit sweet for me, but I still enjoyed it. it's like season 10 of curb Your enthusiasm, the scone was not crumbly at all.

Sooo much deliciousness! Most Seattleites know Macrina, but if you don't, you should make a point of changing that, quickly! It is one os Seattle's treasures. Although they normally have some cafe seating indoors, there is currently only very limited outdoors seating, so as with most things, you should probably plan on having your order to go. There are sandwiches and soups, but the baked goods are where it's at: buttery croissants, amazing cookies, yum. Today we had a couples of to-go Americanos and two scones - my fiancé went for a traditional blueberry, while I was a bit more more adventurous with the cherry almond scone. The texture was perfectly light, with finely ground almonds and a few dried cherries throughout, with a caramelized sugar crust on top. Such a lovely mid morning treat. We always get a baguette to go - their loaves are magnificently crusty. The staff are always nice and the prices are reasonable for the quality. There can be quite a line for service at times, and parking is limited.

I am really impressed with this store and how they are handling the restrictions of social distancing. The cafe itself is spacious. There is a limit on how many people can wait inside at once. I arrived on Friday morning right at opening and there was already a few people inside and a few not in a hurry waiting outside. I came to pick up a cake for a coworkers birthday. Unfortunately the cake wasn't ready, which was disappointing as I placed the order earlier in the week and made sure to ask when they were open and stated I'd be there at 7am as I had to work at 7:30 am. Thankfully, my collegue was contacted and the situation was fixed. I'm so happy we were able to celebrate with my coworker enjoying the chocolate peanut butter cake. We all really appreciate Macrina's assistance in getting us this cake. It's been stressful for the healthcare staff working at hospitals and you helped make our day a little better. Definitely recommend ordering and checking out this place as often as you can.

***updates*** Returned to Macrina for more bread (this time their sour white loaf) and pastries, and just wanted to chime in to add more photos and comment on the new things I've tried. The sour white loaf was better than the Giuseppe (excellent toast!) and you MUST try the orange hazelnut pinwheel. So delicious and a trail of icing throughout the pastry ensures it isn't too dry! Its massive size doesn't hurt, either. Skip the cherry hand pie, which is cute but tastes like they forgot to add sugar. Still 4/5 stars overall! Avoid ordering their hot chocolate, unless you're into very cinnamon-y beverages (it's made with Mexican chocolate). ***original review below*** I stopped by Macrina yesterday to pick up a post-workout treat and a loaf of bread for family dinner. It was moderately crowded around lunchtime on a weekday, but since nearly all patrons were seated with their food I thought the service to ring up my items was a tad slower than it should have been. I ordered their Giuseppe loaf (kind of like a sourdough, but not particularly sour-tasting) and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was tall and narrow, more like a gourmet muffin than the typical short and squat cinnamon roll you'd bake from a tube at the grocery store. It was glazed in this INCREDIBLE cream cheese frosting that drapes over the top of the roll, but sadly doesn't track down into the body of the roll. If you're thinking from my photo that this cinnamon roll needed about 3x more frosting, you'd be right. A cinnamon roll stuffed with a dime-sized column of this frosting would be heavenly. Macrina, are you paying attention? The dough was fluffy, soft, and a tad undercooked, just as a perfect cinnamon roll should be. I also loved the crunchy caramélisés cinnamon bits trailing down the center of the rolTake it home and pair with a glass of milk for maximum enjoyment. The bread was good, but in a faceoff of very expensive artisanal bread, I'd rather spend my $5 on a loaf from Grand Central Bakery. The Giuseppe loaf just didn't really taste like anything. It did have a great texture and crumb and I didn't feel like I had to yank the crust off from the center of the bread with my teeth, but the flavor was super bland.

Baked goods I recommend. Not a place for a snack or lunch, sandwiches look very uninviting. Wish they made rustic Bread sandwiches like DeLaurentis! Soup portions are tiny. My big complaint is that nothing is served on a plate, just help. I asked why and they responded due to lack of help.. evidentially they don't want to spend money on paper plates and possibly help. Think about your tip! You'll need to clean your space at the table.
