They sell incredible baked goods. Their weekend brunches are equally wonderful. The Belltown location is an easy walk from Seattle Center. More

I heard great things about this place that did not translate into reality. Their baked goods were average at best vs the many terrific competitors they have, some close by. Service was ho hum and prices premium. I suggest you avoid being disappointed and head elsewhere for better treats at a better value. More

Every fancy brunch place that has any sort of good food in cities like San Francisco, New York, etc are packed beyond capacity, have a ridiculously long hour+ wait, and just feels like you need to hurry through your meal. Not so here - after a 5 minute wait on a Saturday peak lunch time with gorgeous weather, we were... More

Picked up breakfast goodies from the Macrina, and enjoyed the Seattle views, delicious delicacies with our morning coffee & tea. Macrina's was so handy to our vacation condo (ground level below our unit), so enjoyed the character & atmosphere of this great place. Breads and buns are to die for. More

I see this rated as one of the top ten romantic restaurants in Seattle and don't see how. I like this place; it is a good value with free street parking and delicious baked goods and coffee. I make their Orzo salad recipe often. But there is no romance here. Just stools at high tables with a view to the... More

Two words, the most lovely words you'll ever hear. Cafe Vita. I am not sure there's even a word that can perfectly describe how sensational their coffee is. They have their own special blend of Cafe Vita so you cannot get it anywhere else. I cannot comment on their drip coffee, but I did have their chai latte (which was... More

Lunch (or any meal) at Macrina is always a treat. We usually get a take-away here, but this time we sat down for lunch since there was a table in this tiny eatery. An assortment of breads with olive oil for dipping started us off. My husband had a sandwich; I had a lunch plate of organic greens, portabella mushroom... More
