Delicious homemade desserts, lemonade, and coffee. I'll be back to try the ice cream and sandwiches. Really lovely staff provided great service! read more

Love these cupcakes! I treat myself on special occasions or when I need a happy boost :) They are a little under $4 but worth the splurge. If you don't see the cupcake you want in the display case they will whip it up for you in less than 5 minutes. Be careful of the one with the pearl though, they might break a tooth. The bakers have always be very friendly and talkative. read more

Wasn't a camo colored cake and was so dry it crumbled when we cut it. Also, tried to eat it 3 hours after having it home and it was frozen.... read more

I went today specifically for a piece of wedding cake; love the almond flavor. I should have been leery with only one piece in the case. I am too far away now to go back and 'return' it but the cake is very stale. It's not day old, it tastes like week old. Really disappointing. If you are a bakery, then all the things should be fresh if they are in the main case. It's all you do-bake. Nothing should ever be stale. read more

What an absolute treasure and treat we found at Scratch Bakery! We ordered the bread pudding, gooey bars, cupcakes, red velvet cheesecake, cinnamon rolls and wedding cake. Yeah we are greedy-LOL We make it a point to find bakeries when we travel and this one did not disappoint at all! We could not choose a favorite treat because they were all so good. The cinnamon roll was light, airy and flavored well. This bread pudding was flavored so well I thought God had allowed my grandmother to come back and make it!! The texture and flavor was on point! The cupcakes were moist and very flavorful not just sweet. The gooey bars were also ... I feel myself being redundant but whatever... they were delicious and the vanilla flavoring was everything! This bakery offers more than sweets also. We saw chicken salad sandwiches, pot pies, potato salad and salads. We will be going back to try the savory foods before we leave! read more

After an afternoon of trying to walk my baby into labor!!...my mom and I stopped here to pick up a sweet treat. We were both incredibly impressed with our Wedding Cake and Birthday Cake cupcakes! Super moist cakes, and the icing wasn't too sweet nor grainy. Mom also picked up a mini lemon chess pie for later. Great place for a sweet treat, especially on a gorgeous day like today was! read more

Best breakfast club (add Turkey for more protein) and try the wedding cake latte (warm or cold!)

My sweet tooth has come into its own in recent years...is that good? Anyway - Lashonda knows how to make a good cake, girlfriend! I like a cake with medium to dense texture, that doesn't contain more sugar than it needs - that's what icing is for - and Scratch's cakes GETS THIS RIGHT! Eager to eat my way around their selection! I had the Red Velvet cake - perfection - and I'm headed back for more soon! They also do wedding cakes! read more

Good luck walking out with one item. You'll want everything you see! From the esthetic to the food, everything in here is pleasant to the eye and tastebuds. read more

Heard good things about this bakery from a friend. Decided to check it out and I am glad I did. It is a small shop that offers a lot. The young lady who helped me was pleasant. There were some items not in the front area and she even offered to go to the back to fix some cupcakes up for me if I so wished. There is some seating if you wished to enjoy your treat inside or outside of the store. The cupcakes I purchased were delicious. I will visit again. read more

Overall everything, including the service and food could have been much better and was nothing to jump up and down about. For starters, their service was adequate. From the fact that we felt very pressured to tip, especially when the lowest tip that was offered was 15% just for rushed service and shoddy icing job, and the fact that the icing looked like it could have been easily achieved by a five year old. When arriving there, we were rushed into ordering without even being given the chance to look over the menu, just to be told to repeat our order to the cashier. Not to mention the cupcake showcase was empty, with only three cupcakes that looked as if they had been sitting there for two days. Regarding the food, the chicken salad tasted like it came out of a can and ressembled pate. The croissant tasted like it could have been bought from walmart as well as the cupcakes. The cupcakes looked delicious but the taste was nothing but disappointing. I was extremely unimpressed, the icing was way too sweet and the cake itself was dry and tasted muted and honestly, I could have saved 20 dollars and just have bought a case at Walmart that would have tasted much better. Also, I ordered almond cupcakes that tasted nothing remotely close to almond cupcakes but instead was clearly a pumpkin spice batter. Overall the cupcakes and service was not horrible, but I was expecting much more from previous reviews that I had seen than what we received going there tonight. The food and gratitude was way over priced for what we received. read more

I've heard so many things about this place so yesterday at 1 p.m. I took my girlfriend from out of town here. We purchased the lemon cake with buttercream icing. Where's the lemon flavor? Why was it not moist? It tasted like a week old cake. It was HORRIBLE. Needless to say, I will not return nor will I recommend it. read more

I love it! My Wife's Cupcake Was Delicious. Treated our niece to ice cream, I had a cone, my wife had a cupcake, and a coffee all for $12. Not Too Bad. I'm Not A Girls Scout Cookies person, but they had a couple cupcakes made of girl scout cookies. Really Liked It. read more

Rainy Day special not a special!! So basically if you want a dozen cupcakes this deal is shit! You would pay 38.00 for a dozen when a dozen is normally 35.00 .. make sure you bring your kids or friends and do several transactions.. such a marketing scam!! read more

I was walking around hungry and aimlessly in the city of Phoebus, when I stumbled across a small bakery. I didn't know what to expect so I walked in ready to just get something plain and simple. When out of the corner of my eye I see a "a gooey vanilla cake" and oh boy was my inner fat kid ready to run a train on one of those slices. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I heard angels singing. It was creamy, crispy and perfect. Definitely recommend. read more

Don't have much to say about this place. Was just walking around and stumbled into it, figured it would be rude not to stop in and eat some desserts, and it was great. Only had the Gooey Vanilla cake but if the rest is on par with that then this is a top notch bakery. read more

Fresh soft melt in your mouth cupcakes served by absolutely wonderful women. Customer service at this level can be rare. I have had the the pleasure of eating these twice! Once on a mini date, and 2nd when my girl surprised mefor my birthday. Both times the craftsmanship and taste exceeded expectations. As an amateur baker myself, I have yet to duplicate the overall quality. read more

Meh. Cupcakes are meh. Nothing that really stood out. Could have made them at home. Wasn't overly impressed. Not a bad price, but would have been worth it to make it myself instead. Probably won't be coming back. I was pretty bummed. read more

Highly recommend!! Scratch has some of the best desserts I've tasted! I also love the punch card reward system. Scratch isn't far from Hampton's Campus and makes for a great treat to seal a Bumble date. Scratch is also doing an amazing job at enforcing social distancing guidelines. read more

I respect the way the cupcakes are decorated but from the name being SCRATCH bakery, I would have expected a scratch recipe and not Duncan Hines cake mix.... but I'm defiantly not knocking her hustle read more

Cake was a complete mess ...falling off cake board was told that it was my fault and "Birthday" was spelled wrong ...dont waste your money here owner is rude and very unprofessional!! Cake was too sweet also and ended up in the trash where it belonged!! read more

Tried the German Chocolate cupcakes...they are to die for! I have four or flavors to try, but I'm hooked just from that one. Just make sure if you order and pay online to go to the Newport News location. The Hampton one doesn't do the online thing, but they were nice enough to do it once for the mistake on my end. I double checked the copy I got in my email and it gave the Newport address. The funny thing is I never searched for a Newport location. read more

Honestly this place is kinda dingy and you could tell they don't take very good care of it. The ice cream bar looked like absolute crap and the whole set up is just inefficient. There's one table with two chairs that looked as if they were just throw there with some forks on the table. The lady working the counter was soooo nice though! I got the chocolate cupcake and the cake part was the best I've ever had. I wasn't crazy about the frosting, probably because it was very sweet. I think the baked goods from this place are probably amazing it just needs a remodel or someone to actually take care of it. The cones for the ice cream were also just laying out and the ice cream looked like it was thrown into the bin. There was also a fridge with some drinks in it, and looked like it also needed to be cleaned up. I enjoyed the cupcake but I feel like the place should be cleaner, making me skeptical with how they leave the back where they cook these items. read more

I tried scratch bakery for the first time today and the brownies and lemon pound cake were delicious !!! Virginia answered all of my questions and had such a pleasant personality!! I will definitely be back soon. read more

The best banana pudding I've ever had (don't tell my mom!). I would drive from Richmond to buy it for special occasions. And such a cute shop on a cute block! read more

Dont believe the hype! I KNOW scratch and I can tell you that the cupcake batter and some of the cake batters are NOT from scratch. Some of the stuff taste like it was made from boxed cake mix with extra ingredients added to give it a "homemade" flavor and a fancy lard based icing. Do be fooled! read more
