\"\"<\/p>\n

On the corner of 19th and Aloha on Capitol Hill<\/a>, Macrina Bakery\u2019s fifth and newest caf\u00e9 opened at 7 a.m. on Thursday, September 6. Leslie Mackie, Macrina’s founder, worked the counter with new crew members and employees pulled from other locations.<\/p>\n

A Warm Welcome<\/h2>\n

It is a very bright and cheery space in the open, white-tiled kitchen. The sun filters through from the skylights above and mixes with the natural light coming from the wall of windows on the north side of the caf\u00e9.\u00a0 Whether they knew one another or not, people filled the many communal tables, spending time together and taking in the new location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a line out the door for two hours that morning,\u201d said Scott France, Macrina\u2019s president. \u201cSo many people from the neighborhood have come up to tell me how eagerly they\u2019ve been waiting for us to open. It feels great to be welcomed so warmly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many who had been watching the extensive remodel these past couple of months commented on their favorite design features: the wall of rough wood that was uncovered in the demolition phase, so stunning that we had to clean it up and keep it; the long, white marble display counters filled with loaves of bread, cakes, pastries, pies and savory items; the exposed wood joists that form the ceiling. One welcoming neighbor even brought in a large vase cascading with flowers from her garden.<\/p>\n

Macrina Bakery Day<\/h2>\n

Macrina received a welcomed surprise when Mayor Jenny Durkan proclaimed September 6, 2018, Macrina Bakery Day in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary and our impact on the city. The full proclamation is worth reading as it honors so many of Macrina\u2019s deeply held values:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old Meets New<\/h2>\n

The new caf\u00e9 is located in the same space once occupied by the Surrogate Hostess, a community bakery, and many customers mentioned it. Those who spoke of it remember it fondly as the bakery that once served as a gathering spot in the neighborhood. Macrina hopes to fill that role and to enrich the community with Leslie\u2019s passion for artisanal baking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier with how the space turned out,\u201d Leslie said. \u201cAnd seeing so many smiling faces coming in for a pastry or lunch was fabulous. Opening our fifth caf\u00e9 has been a wonderful capstone to our 25th-anniversary celebrations.\u201d<\/p>\n
