I frequent this location often and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. They have a diverse selection of pastry options and quick bites, making it hard to choose just one thing! The service was exceptional, thanks to the super attentive and helpful staff, especially Alex, Sam, Jose, and Edwin. I highly recommend stopping by and trying anything from the pastry case with a coffee! read more

I had a really nice visit to Scratch Bakery in Newport Beach. The food was fresh, and the chocolate croissant was absolutely delicious and well baked. The service from Sam made the experience even better. He was very pleasant, attentive, and helpful during my visit. It is wonderful to experience such decent customer service today. It was a nice stop to get out of the heat - highly recommended! read more

Egg sandwich with the MANA BREAD was so buttery with a loaded amount of eggs!! The bacon was thin but pretty crispy and the bread was very fluffy. It felt like an English muffin with more pillowy thickness. The COFFEE and KNOCK KNOCK FLIGHT is a must. Each flavor is unique and delicious! I expected a sugar overload with random coffee pairings but the thoughtfulness behind the flight is appreciated. The drinks were different types of espresso to milk ratios with little to no sweetness to balance out each flavor of knock knock! I don't want to spoil it but this spot is not just popular for its prime location and its knock knocks should be famous cause I will be back at their front door. read more

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at this bakery. My daughter and I each ordered a slice of red velvet cake, and my other daughter chose a slice of the coconut cake. The red velvet was extremely dry and honestly not even edible. I was very disappointed. The coconut cake was unfortunately no better. My husband also purchased a bag of chocolate chip cookies, and after being disappointed with the cakes, he gave each of us a cookie. Unfortunately, the cookies tasted old and stale as well. The customer service was also disappointing. We specifically ordered our desserts to eat there, but the employee put everything in a box and bag to-go. When we clarified that we were eating there, he seemed frustrated. I then asked for plates, and he gave them to us with a bad attitude while telling us that they were closing in 45 minutes. We spent $28 on three slices of cake and a bag of cookies, and unfortunately, we were disappointed with both the food and the customer service. I really wanted to enjoy this bakery, but based on our experience, I would not return. read more

I've passed by this bakery a few times when I visited Fashion Island. I finally decided to stop by here for breakfast, after the grand opening line for Levain Bakery was too long. Surprisingly, there was also a small line here before the cafe opened. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Service was friendly and the workers greeted me. Inside seating has lots of tables, but I decided to sit outside. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage, while my friend got the southwest breakfast sandwich. I noticed that the cafe got pretty busy later on in the morning. It seems like most people order pastries and coffee here. There's two bathrooms inside the cafe. Note that it's a bit tough to pull open the door since it was a bit jammed. The food did take awhile to come out, but when it did, I was excited to eat. The sandwich was pretty big. I could have shared or eaten half of my sandwich, but I devoured it. Their Manna bun was so fluffy and soft. I belive they make it from scratch! Everything about the breakfast sandwich tasted so fresh and delicious! I definitely recommend visiting this cafe! Service was great and friendly. Food is made from scratch and yummy. Next time, I'll try their pastries. read more

I came here for their Knock Knock Flight. If you're an espresso/cold brew fan, this is for you. However, I'm an iced latte girly and these drinks were way too strong for me. The Knock Knock is an upscale version of a Ding Dong. They were good, but too sweet for me. My kids loved it though! And their chocolate chip cookie was outstanding. My husband even made a comment on how good it was. read more

Tried their lentil soup (cup version) - this was good and hearty. Baguette pieces were a bit stale but dipped with the soup, it was fine. There was good seating. Several tables inside and outside. I did not expect the soup to come with several baguette pieces so that was nice. I was eyeing the spinach artichoke pastry and other pastries in the pastry display case. Super convenient that this bakery is located in Fashion Island. Will be coming back for their pastries. read more

Wow! The trip exceeded my expectations. The egg sandwich on their special bread was absolutely perfect. A good amount of buttery eggs and crispy bacon wrapped in light and fluffy bread. The flight of coffee with the pastries was so much fun! Or only do you get sample many different knock knock flavors, but you also get to try a nice variety of hot and cold coffee. The pairings are also well done in that they do actually complement one another. The restaurant is clean and the service was great! We grabbed some cinnamon rolls to go which we'll have tomorrow morning. They look and smell amazing. This place is worth a visit! read more

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

Been wanting to eat here and wow, it exceeded my expectations. I came here specifically for the Knock knock flight and it was so yummy. I think the coffee was a bit strong for me though so I wouldn't get it again. But the presentation and the fact that it comes with knock knocks is something different than any other flight i've had. I really want to go back to try their regular breakfast items and try more pastries. There was so much I wanted to try but didn't want to over indulge. 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 in on Sunday 8/30 morning at 1030. Only 1 person in front of us in line. Ordered a bacon and egg sandwich (NO CHEESE) to go - after waiting 25 mins we asked one of the workers what the status of our order was and she said "it's not ready yet" without asking about what we even ordered. Finally 10 mins later we were handed our to-go order. Got to our car opened the sandwich and it was a sausage egg and cheese. Not at all what we ordered. Total waste of time & money. 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

It's easy to overlook, but definitely worth stopping in. They really lean into the "from scratch" concept, and it shows. The food feels a bit lighter compared to other options nearby, which I appreciate when I'm walking around and don't want something too heavy. The iced lavender milk tea stood out to me, and the breakfast burrito was also a hit (kid approved). They also have a full pastry case -- I loved the chocolate croissant, and their "knock knocks" are a fun take on a ding dong. There's indoor seating and a small outdoor patio, which is nice in the late afternoon. What really stood out though was the staff -- everyone was genuinely kind and you can tell they care about what they're doing. Overall, a solid, reliable stop at Fashion Island that I'd come back to. 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

Do not order from here if you are in a hurry. They need better system for pickup orders - I placed a to go order from here at 9:30am and I got a text that it was ready at 9:42am. I stopped in on the way to a 10am appt. at 9:53am and no one could locate the order. I ended up having to go back later to pick it up. Turns out it was in the same bag sitting by the pickup area as when I went in the first time. Super frustrating - the top of the container was a clear plastic lid. They could've easily looked at it to figure out which order it was, and then handed it to me. Pretty frustrating having to go back twice and waiting an extra half hour for an order that was already ready. Being greeted when you walk up to the pickup area would go a long way too instead of having to flag someone down /waiting 5 minutes before getting someone's attention read more

Just left on the way to the movies. I love this bakery because they have the best Gluten Free treats!! They were sold out almost all my gf desserts. So I decided to try the cheesecake one hopefully it'll be good. The one star is for the horrible staff . The cashier that took my order was screaming and yelling to his coworker about some sports event over the radio that was blaring out of the speakers. He was very rude to me when taking my order. All I asked for was the cheesecake and a small coffee in a medium cup so I have room for cream. I wondered why he charged me six dollars for a small coffee and looked at me like I was crazy. Then I went to stand by the area where the coffees are delivered. The young man making the coffee said what did I order? I told him a small coffee and a medium cup. The cashier went over and whispered in his ear. He ended up making a small latte putting it in a medium cup. I did not ask for that and it was cold. This is the worst service I've ever had at this bakery and it's really a shame cause it's so nice!!! BTW I just took a bite of the cheese cake and it was warm and gross. I wasted $11.00 just threw it away! 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

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.
