Macrina Bakery & Cafe serves French toast built on their own bakery bread, soaked in custard and cooked until the surface is browned and slightly crisp.[6] The use of house-baked loaves gives this version a distinct crumb and flavor, setting it apart from typical diner-style preparations.[6] Eating it, you get a soft, almost cake-like interior under a lightly caramelized exterior, often complemented by fruit or syrup for added sweetness.[6] Reviews note that the French toast holds up among the cafe’s pastries and other breakfast items, making it a strong choice alongside their baked goods.[6][22]
