Hospital Health Includes Food

 We consider ourselves lucky to work with a variety of locally-based businesses that are committed to offering patrons quality eats. For the most part, this includes food establishments, but in this post our focus is on Overlake Hospital in Bellevue.Let’s be honest, hospitals are typically not known for offering a stellar selection of fresh food. Hospitals, however, are designed to heal and provide optimal health—we believe this includes fresh and delectable food—and we are proud to say we have a wonderful partnership with Overlake in their pursuit to provide patients and medical staff with fresh baked goods. Overlake Hospital has three well-trafficked onsite cafes, two espresso stands, and provides 18,000 patient meals a month! They were the first hospital in the area to offer local cage-free eggs, which they use exclusively.  It’s also worth noting that the majority of their vegetables are organic and locally sourced. When it comes to baked goods, Macrina Bakery (as you may have guessed) provides the hospital with most of its bread and baked goods. Our artisan breads and rolls are featured as French Toast and the building block for fresh, tasty well-stacked sandwiches. Each of their cafes offers our melt-in-your-mouth cookies, hearty scones and delectable muffins. We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we continue to receive from patients, medical staff and customers alike in their ability to choose high-quality, fresh foods. We are proud to work directly with Overlake Hospital as they truly believe in offering patrons quality food and consider Macrina Bakery’s fresh baked goods a key element in staying true to that promise.
