Irresistible aromas waft from Macrina, announcing the presence inside of its breads, cakes and pastries---the creations of Leslie Mackie and her crew, who supply baked goods to many of Seattle's finest restaurants. You can purchase treats from the bakery or eat in the café. For lunch, order a grilled panini or a demi baguette with ham, Fontina and Dijon mustard. Soups are robust, and served, naturally, with house-made bread. Mix-and-match meals for the tapas-minded are also possible, such as grilled crostini (topping options always include savory and sweet) or a mezze plate of multiple salads. Pizzettas from Macrina's ovens are thin-crusted and enticing. The weekend brunch menu features concoctions such as scrambled eggs with salmon, crème fraîche and chives atop a lightly-toasted brioche, and airy waffles. Don't forget Macrina’s cookies. Take home apricot, ginger or chocolate chip, or indulge in assorted bars and brownies. Expect to wait for a café seat on weekends.
