Macrina Bakery has three Seattle locations – Queen Anne, Belltown and SODO, a pleasing place to buy astisanal breads, cakes, pasteries and have a sandwich and coffee too. Looking through the front windows it is easy to see that Valentine’s Day is coming and displayed inside are baked goods. If you visit their website you can sign up for an monthly eNewsletter which contains a free recipe as well. This month the selection is Lentil Bacon Soup. Macrina Bakery was named one of the top ten bread bakeries in the January 2011 issue of Bon Appetit. Leslie Mackie, founder and owner of Macrina Bakery, is a nationally esteemed baker of artisanal breads, a chef who has given good food and warmth to her business.
She is author of a well known book, “Macrina Bakery and Cafe Cookbook: Favorite Breads, Pastries, Sweets and Savories.” This storefront is the SODO location, I can attest to the goodness of their baked goods.. yum!
