While shopping at @Fashion Island! , stopped by a bakery cafe called @Scratch Bakery Cafe , oh I over ordered! It's okay because I was in a comfortable space that welcomed me with great drinks, baked goods, breakfast, sandos and salads. If you want a guaranteed casual delicious spot to eat, get a latte or grab a snack, SCRATCH needs to be on your list. It's right between Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. That Salmon Salad was perfection, loved the flavors of the salad and salmon fillet paired so well. Get any their breakfast sandwich on the Manna Bun because that fluffy bun is sooo delicious. Their sandwiches in any form has proven to be incredible from their Spicy Chicken on a French Roll or a Ruben on Marbel, it's yummy! Get their French Fries too because it's coated and extra crispy. It's a great spot for Mother's Day! Tyler the manager and his team are simply pro! Great service and attentive! read more

If you happen to be at Fashion Island and are looking for a hearty vegan breakfast option, Scratch Kitchen offers a surprisingly solid vegan burrito, though you'll need to make a few modifications since the burrito isn't actually vegan as ordered. The vegan burrito includes hash browns, onions, spinach, and vegan breakfast sausage, creating a filling breakfast that manages to satisfy without feeling overly heavy. The verde salsa ties everything together nicely, adding brightness and moisture that helps fuse the ingredients into a cohesive burrito with all the key elements you'd want in a good breakfast wrap. What really would've taken the burrito to the next level is the addition of a vegan egg option like Just Egg. That extra layer would've made the burrito exceptional rather than simply very good. Still, even without it, the burrito was flavorful, hearty, and satisfying enough that I'd order it again. One thoughtful touch is that the burrito is served cut in half, which works well if you're dining in. However, if you plan to customize it further or add your own ingredients, it's probably best to request that it not be cut in half beforehand. read more

Not usually out this far in OC on a weekday, but since I was, I definitely needed to stop by and grab a snack. While I was debating between knock knocks, I saw a sign for the knock knock flight!!! Sold. First, I need to say that Sam was a gem. I cannot do coconut and after much assistance, I was able to get a second regular instead. I cannot say how much I enjoyed the sampler; each small knock knock came with a coffee pairing that I thought was pretty spot on. Knock Knocks: Classic - the institute was pretty solid when I had it, so I was a tad bit disappointed because I was hoping it would be soft like a hostess cake. However, I took the second one home and when I ate it later, it was the exact same consistency I wanted!! Bananas Foster - I was a little worried, because the flavour profile would be delicious, but so much could go wrong with the fresh banana and banana bread. However, the cake was moist and the bananas were not overwhelming; instead of slices of fresh banana, it was bits and spread in a nice layer. Dubai - thought I would really like this, but it was too rich for me. I mean, I still enjoyed it, but I could only have a corner cause it was so rich. Each coffee was unsweetened and were a good match for each sweet treat. I would probs swap the cold brew from Dubai to the coconut one and the macchiato to the Dubai bite. And have I mentioned Sam? The staff is always great, but Sam really went above and beyond for me. read more

Scratch Bakery and Cafe is absolutely delicious. Any time I am at Fashion Island I must stop by for their oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! They also have great drinks, food, and customer service. I love that they have indoor and patio seating and a great view of the fountain which often provides a relaxing atmosphere. I tried the avocado salad for the first time and was very impressed. The chicken was so soft and tender and the lemon vinaigrette paired with the flavors perfectly. They have so many great pastries, I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

I came in with no expectations and left genuinely impressed. Moulin is usually my go-to café, but lately the quality hasn't been the same, so this visit was a refreshing surprise. At first glance, the place looks unassuming, but it's easy to see why there's a line during weekend brunch hours. Everything is made from scratch, and the difference is obvious in every bite. The pastries are so good. My favorites are the rye pastrami sandwich, pistachio croissant, and churro cruffin. Even after sitting in my car on the drive home, everything stayed impressively crisp. They also offer a coffee flight called the "Knock Knock," which is a fun and unique experience that satisfies both your caffeine and sugar cravings. read more

Came here for a quick dessert and the Knock Knock cake was very good. Chocolatey with ganache on the outside and creamy with buttercream on the inside. Perfect combo! The bakery cafe is full of delicious-looking cookies and breads. Would definitely come back for another visit when craving for some sweets. read more

This is a fairly simple review as I only came here to try one thing: their distinctive Knock Knock, which is a chocolate-coated chocolate cake with a creamy center. It was served chilled. It was delicious and indulgent and definitely freshly made. The cake was soft and moist, the chocolate coating thick and tasty, the cream creamy. I would describe the Knock Knock as a Twinkie on steroids. I went there at the end of the day so the cafe was empty, yet pleasant. It has a nice environment. The gentleman behind the counter who served me was friendly. I'm not sure I would try the Knock Knock again, as there were other pastries and baked goods that looked great. An added plus for Newport Beach: their prices were reasonable for the quality of items being sold. I'll try something else on my next visit. read more

This bakery/cafe is located at Fashion Island. After finishing a nearby appointment, I came here for an early lunch on a weekday. It's a fast casual cafe where you order at the counter. The bakery items all looked wonderful but I was after one of their sandwiches and chose a breakfast sandwich plate - the Monte Cristo. I also purchased a large hot vanilla latte. There are only 6 or 7 tables inside, far too few. There are a number of outdoor tables but on this cold and windy day the indoor tables were all taken. I had been given a number for my order delivery to be placed on my table. As I worriedly eyed the prospect of having to sit outside, a small table inside became vacant and I quickly pounced on it. While they deliver your food to your table, they call your name to pick up your drinks. When they called my name to pick up my latte at the counter, I sprinted there and back before someone else took my table. The latte was served far too hot. I couldn't drink it during my meal so carried it with me after I finished eating. It took about half an hour before I could even sip it. It was a standard but solid vanilla latte, nothing out of the ordinary. As far as my meal, the Monte Cristo wasn't a TRUE monte cristo. Honestly, I think the only place to find a real deep fried one around here is at Disneyland. But this faux Monte Cristo had the proper components - a French toast sandwich with melted cheese, turkey, and ham. They had syrup for dipping rather than the traditional berry jam. It was admittedly very delicious. The hash brown on the plate was exceptional - perfectly crisp outside with soft potato inside. You'd think that, surrounded by wonderful bakery items, the employees would seem happy but no, not a single smile. Maybe they all burned their tongues on the coffee. read more

My friend and I usually come here for a post-workout pastry and coffee catch-up, but this was our first time grabbing a bite to eat. We ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and it was perfect for the cooler weather. I loved that they kept everything traditional while elevating the flavors. Service is always great, and we consistently enjoy their drinks and pastries. It's also a nice place to sit outside, get some fresh air, do a little people-watching, and relax before heading out to shop. read more

Came here to try their coffee flight with "knock knocks" and let me tell you, they were strong, unsweetened coffees. So if you like sweet coffee this might not be for you. They did pair well with their knock knocks tho. My favorite was the Banana Foster knock knock, pairs so well with coffee in my opinion. Might have to come here and give their breakfast menu a try. read more

We stopped in here around brunch- this was our first time trying Scratch Bakery and we were blown away! Laid back and welcoming atmosphere, very sweet workers. I got the breakfast sandwich, my friend got the Breakfast platter. That was truly the best breakfast sandwich I've ever gotten. Fresh english muffin, a huge mount of eggs, and thick cut bacon. His breakfast platter came with eggs, ham, sourdough, and the most delicious hash brown. My Iced latte wasn't watered down, great ratio. Their bran muffin was not dry, and had delicious toasted nuts on top. We wish we lived closer so we could come more often- such a great brunch spot! read more

Not bad- handy spot for a pick me up while scooting around fashion island. My oat milk latte and plain croissant were perfectly fine. Busy scene with shoppers but service is still pretty quick. Few indoor tables and more outside. They have some interesting patisserie - knock knock. I didn't bother to find out who's there. read more

My 5 year old daughter spilled a cup of hot cocoa down the front of her dress while attempting to dunk her cookie. Natalia and her co-workers saw it happen and immediately saved the day. Without having to ask, Natalia came out with napkins and extra cookie and a new hot chocolate for my daughter. They turned tears into a smile, and I couldn't have been more grateful for their kindness and generosity. My kids already liked Scratch. Now we LOVE Scratch. Thanks Natalia! read more

Came in for the first time today. They have a pretty generous menu for a bakery. + I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my burger came out. And it was really good. The sauce on it was giving IN-N-OUT spread which I did not mind at all. I don't get tomatoes or onion on my burger so they put a lot of pickles which was a-okay! And my fries were really crispy, which is rare for fries these days. I'd come def back to try more tings! read more

Although the baked goods looked delicious and the menu looked good, the service was pretty terrible. I ordered a lemonade and the guy working the cash register was sick, coughing and sneezing and touching everything (including my lemonade). Then, I ordered a sandwich and they said they would bring it to my number. They never did and I kept waiting. Finally, I went over and the lady was rude telling me they forgot my sandwich was "out" and forgot to bring it to me. I won't be going again. read more

I come here everyday - they have the best pastries and the sweetest staff. 10/10 no notes specifically ustinia and sam !!!

Wow, this place stays busy. It's busy because the breakfasts are good. When in town, and at the mall, we stop in for a cooked to order, fresh, hot egg sandwich. There are seats inside and outside. The pastries look great but it's too early in the day and there is lots to do in the mall. Always a stop. read more

Such a wonderful restaurant in Newport. I've never had knock knocks but I'm impressed. Think of a better version of hostess but not as sugary but still delicious. Decadent is the perfect way to describe it. I also love their salmon kale salad. It was crispy and flavorful. Food came out within 15 mins and outdoor seating was nice on a summer day. Highly recommend! read more

This place is one of my favorites. I've had the breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. I love the English muffins and have shared these with many friends. They are similar to Model's bakery in Napa. Your almond croissant is one of the best. The scones are perfect, not too sweet or dry. The service was great. The place is very clean. The only thing I would improve on is having true ceremonial grade matcha . ( not the premixed and presweetened ) It would then be a 5 star review read more

This place has great pastries and very good service. The employees are very helpful with picking out good gluten free and vegan options. Their coffee is delicious.

Worst customer service I've had in a long time. It was as though everyone working here did not want to be here. I'm sure many people don't like their jobs, but you could at least pretend to when you're around customers. No one smiled or made much eye contact. My order was deleted or forgotten and I stood there for 15 minutes waiting for my coffee. I had to ask for it and even then it took another 5-ish minutes just to get to my order I placed 20 minutes prior. And they were not that busy, so I could only imagine how awful they are during peak hours. Scratch Bakery Cafe is a miserable establishment. I will never come here again. Your experience may be better than mine, but I can only speak to my personal experience. read more

From what we ordered, get the chorizo breakfast burrito and not the sausage burrito (it lacked flavor). The half order of turkey and cheese with a cup of tomato basil was not worth $16. Next time, I'd just come for a baked good because the Argentinian Alfajores was the highlight. Delicious fresh dulce de leche in between soft buttery cookies. read more
