Overseeing all of our locations<\/a> might sound daunting, but our illustrious general manager of caf\u00e9s, Crystal Kitchin, starts each day with a smile – and maybe one of our pastries too! Her indelible spirit and drive are palpable, which undoubtably motivates our team members and keeps our customers coming back for more. Having recently celebrated her anniversary with Macrina Bakery, we caught up with Crystal to chat about her time in this essential role, what it means to work for Macrina, and how she unwinds from it all.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/a><\/p>\n

As Macrina Bakery’s general manager of caf\u00e9s, there\u2019s never a dull moment, I\u2019m sure. What does a typical day look like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I would have to say that this is very true. There is never a dull moment, but my days are never typical – unless you expect the unexpected on a regular basis. I usually start my day around 6:00 a.m. and it doesn\u2019t slow down. But, seeing the sun rise never gets old. I work closely with all the caf\u00e9 managers and crew on a daily basis. You can find me in the caf\u00e9s helping customers pick out a pastry or making a latte any day of the week.<\/p>\n

<\/b>What do you love most about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I love working closely with all the caf\u00e9s’ employees and getting to know the regulars at each location. The best part of my day is seeing the regulars and knowing we are a big part of their morning rituals that can\u2019t be missed.<\/p>\n

What are some of the highlights of your time with Macrina?<\/strong><\/p>\n
