Macrina Bakery<\/a> had a grand opening on Monday at its new Kent headquarters, 19215 66th Ave. S.<\/a>,\u00a0 including free coffee and a ribbon cutting by Mayor Suzette Cooke.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A cafe, attached to the new wholesale bakery, is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday in the north Kent warehouse area.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Macrina offers artisanal breads, cornetti (Italian-style croissants), pastries, cakes, tarts, sandwiches, soups and other savory items.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The company decided to move to Kent from Seattle because it needed a larger space and found better lease rates. The bakery supplies numerous restaurants, markets and hotels from Edmonds to Tacoma to Port Townsend.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Macrina employs about 175 and features nearly 40,000 square feet of space for the bakery, storage, cafe and offices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Leslie Mackie opened Macrina in 1993 in Seattle to showcase her love of artisanal bread. Macrina also has three cafes in Seattle, including SODO and Belltown.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Macrina Bakery had a grand opening on Monday at its new Kent headquarters, 19215 66th Ave. S., including free coffee and a ribbon cutting by Mayor Suzette Cooke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":14668,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-14667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14667"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14667"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=14667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
