Soup special with fly
Amanda R.

We were really excited for this new location on Oregon Pike - we were quickly disappointed. Almost every time we order coffee there are a ton of grounds in the bottom, and we just ordered again last week and got soup, which had a fly in it. I tried to reach out to the restaurant and receive no response back, so I'm posting on here so people are aware.

Finally tried their lunch which did not disappoint! Delicious salad with fresh ingredients.

Bagel, Spicy Sausage Wrap, Iced Latte

Ambiance 5/5- lots of tables and spacious interior! I also loved the natural light and appreciated the charging outlets. Great place to study! Food 5/5- yummy breakfast items and the service was really fast! Bathroom 4/5- a little old, I think there's just 1 family bathroom in the cafe, but it was well maintained and clean Parking 4/5- first time coming here was a bit tricky to find parking, but there is a free 2hr lot nearby or some limited street parking Overall, great place to do work and munch on some delicious food!

Strawberry Shortcake French Toast

This is such a cute corner spot restaurant. There's front porch seating and plenty of indoor seating. The service was quick and staff was friendly. I've gotten cupcakes here many times but this visit was to enjoy a breakfast meal. The strawberry shortcake French toast was filling and sweet. My husband got the breakfast platter with a bagel and cream cheese. The atmosphere and sweet dessert options make it an enjoyable experience everytime.

Bangin' Brownstown Bagel- pain bagel, cheddar cheese,  extra crispy bacon,  eggs over medium,  and...... balsamic sautéed onions!

I can't even with this place!! Just when I thought I ate the best sandwich ever, Jason goes and makes another! Today was the "Great grilled cheese experiment- provolone, American, sourdough, w/ various accompaniments that may or may not be life changing. The flavors swirled around my taste buds, teasingly and temptingly, and with every bite, the earth moved just a little! This isn't mama's Grilled cheese. Yes, it's got that down-home feel but, with a big ole' bang of artisanal excellence that just can't be put into words. Your mouth will be full for the next 20 min. anyway (if it even lasts that long!) SOOOOOO with all that said, basically it's really yummy.

Stopped in on a Friday morning shortly after opening time and the staff greeted me immediately. Despite being short-staffed, my food was brought out in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the "Main Street morning" bowl and a blueberry muffin. The bowl was perfect. The hashbrowns on the bottom were crispy, the bacon was crunchy, and the cheese was melty. The blueberry muffin was perfectly moist and not too sweet. It tasted super fresh. They have a complimentary water station and a clean unisex bathroom. There are plenty of seating options both inside and outside. They work on a bus your own table system. I'll definitely be back.

Cute cafe in a beautiful historic building in downtown Ephrata. There's is a large selection of homemade baked goods, drunks, and breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The restaurant is fast casual; order at a window and food is delivered to your table. Lots of seating is available in the dining room.

Half Savory Apple Sandwich and half Asian Delight Salad
Claire M.

Wonderful spot (: Great for WFH with excellent tables + outlets. Two families were playing chess during the day - so cute! Super fast at making the food as well.

I enjoyed the ambiance from this place. I got a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The breakfast sandwich was great, iced latte was not such a hit. Apparently they have amazing cupcakes which we didn't get because we stopped for breakfast but next time we will be trying the cupcakes. The girl working there was so cheerful first thing in the morning!!

a table with pastries and a cup of coffee
Carrie G.

This was an amazing stop! We tried so many things and the consensus. The atmosphere was bright and clean - would be an amazing place to come work and sit and have coffee! Ladies behind the counter were very patient and helpful. But the food was superb. Everyone thought their food was delicious.

Broccoli cheddar soup
Lindsay L.

This was my first time actually coming to Scratch Bakes as I've always passed it and saw it was a popular spot. Today we decided to go in and it was around 11:45am on a Saturday so I'm surprised it wasn't busier. When you walk in the menu is to the left on the chalkboard on the wall and the specials are on the right. They have a solid selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches/wraps that can be grilled or toasted and some soups. They also have salads and combo meals. They also sell lovely little cupcakes that they display in the front in the glass and often they have themed cupcakes (you can also preorder your food or bakery orders if you want cupcakes). I've had their cupcakes before and am a fan of them, so I recommend them for that if you need a batch or just want a sweet treat while on Main Street. Atmosphere: There's a decent amount of seating and there and they even have lounge type seating. There is a part where they have a little island of where you can put sugar/creamer and get napkins or free water next to it. There is also outdoor seating covered under a hanging roof. Food: Because we came at like 11:45am, I wasn't looking to get a cupcake but some actual lunch food. I ordered a bowl size of soup (there is also a cup size) and then my boyfriend ordered the Early Riser which is just a ham, egg and cheese toasted sandwich. When we got our food, it was delicious and I ate it pretty quickly. Highly recommend that broccoli cheddar soup, I ate it even when it was scorching on my tongue because I loved it that much. My boyfriend also said that his sandwich was good and he would order it again. We also got a free bagel & cream cheese...keep reading to find out why. Service: We got there at 11:45am and didn't get our food until about 12:15pm. We saw other people getting their food who had ordered after us and we were wondering for 15 mins what was taking them so long to just get soup and a sandwich out considering we saw everyone else got like multiple meals come out. We saw they were pretty backed up due to call in orders and then kindly asked a waitress who ended up bringing us a bagel and cream cheese instead of my soup at first. We tried to give it back but they told us to just keep it since it already made it to our table so we just kept it and ate it. It was really good actually too! That is why I knocked off 1 star. Overall I do recommend this place. I will be back again to order something else most likely

Tomato pepper jack soup, tortellini pesto, Caprese Special
Kiana E.

Food was delicious! I got the caprese breakfast burrito, pesto tortellini and a cup of tomato pepper jack soup. It came out fast, especially since I came in with a group of friends (seven of us ordered). Service was great! I would definitely go back and try more on their menu because there was so much to choose from and sounded really good. My friends loved the food too!

Stopped by just before closing to satisfy a after dinner dessert craving!…read more The cupcakes were absolutely adorable and tasted just as good as they looked. Unfortunately, their most popular flavor had already sold out, but we ended up trying a few of the vegan options along with the Minion-themed cupcake. The designs were super fun, and the flavors didn't disappoint Since it was right before closing, the service was pretty much what I expected. The staff was still friendly, and we tried to be mindful not to keep them too long The cupcakes are a little on the pricey side for their size, but they're well-made, delicious, and beautifully decorated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for a sweet treat!

The cupcakes are beautifully decorated and are fresh and delicious. They seem appropriately priced for the quality. The milkshakes and jar cakes are also delicious. They offer a selection of coffee beverages, but I haven't tried any of those yet. There's both indoor and outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your treat right away.

This review is based solely off customer service and this BOMB pineapple upside down cake…read more I saw some posts on Facebook for weeks about this place. From first glance it looked like just another local shop but it kept peaking my interest. After weeks of seeing good reviews, I finally decided to try it. She was having a sale because of national pineapple upside down cake day. I initially got 3 cake slices because it was either $4/each or 3 for $10. She was very quick to respond to all of my messages and the curbside pick up was seamless. On the way home I decided to try a piece a cake because it looked so good and after one bite I called her right back and asked if I could have 3 more slices! The cake is so moist it has like a little gooey-ness to it so it kind of melts in your mouth. Not too sweet and just overall delicious. Be sure that you really look for the bakery because it is small and kind of hidden off the road. I drove past twice before I saw it. All the dessert options sound and look delicious. I believe they have new items every week based on what customers like or request. Also, preordering is required. Not sure if it's just because of COVID or if that's a regular deal. I plan to go back soon ... by soon I mean in 2 days lol. I also think her hours are Wednesday through Saturday. You will not be disappointed!!!!

Yummy cupcakes and donuts. My children and I stopped by after seeing her post on FB. We wanted to…read moretry her sweets. They were delicious. Very nice and friendly. A variety of cupcakes, brownies, doughnuts and/or other treats to choose from. I notice she does custom cakes for events. I definitely recommend you check her out.

While driving west my buddy tells me: Bill, you're a "foodie" and I want you to try this cupcake…read moreplace. I think they're awesome. Do you know what's awesome? Puppies. I am not a foodie. If you had to break it down, aren't we all foodies? We need food to sustain our lives. However. If you tell me: O.M.G. The Jalapeno poppers at T.G.I Fridays changed my life!? I question your judgement and think you should not procreate. I pull into a strip mall. Walking into Sublime Cupcakes, its a small shop. It's pretty much see what you like, box it up and get out. No loitering! I chose a single cupcake, the Mostess. It was a take on a Hostess Cupcake. I do have to say I was very impressed with the packaging and presentation. The cake was fresh and moist but the filling is what gave it that chocolate / vanilla contrast, it makes you want to eat more. Its the same nostalgic cupcake we all ate as kids except this is not a mass produced product filled with junky chemicals. This is a chef'd up cupcake and commands the price. If you want a cheaper cupcake then go to the local supermarket and buy them on the shelf. I had a single cupcake but man on man it was a tasty treat. You could say (pinky to lip) sublime?? If you want to impress company or want to feed your inner child with a nostalgic cupcake, Sublime Cupcakes has what you're craving.

For me, these are the best tasting cupcakes in the area. They are super moist with ample icing and…read morelots of different flavors. However, they run out of cupcakes early and are dang expensive. $15 for 4. A once in a while treat. 5 stars for taste, but 1 star for value.
