Scratch is a quaint restaurant well hidden in Olney, but it is worth the effort to find it. We are frequent patrons. The food is served fresh, in large portions and delicious. I usually order the breakfast burrito with bacon. But what really keeps my friends and Me returning is the coffee. Seriously great. The staff feels like family now. read more

I picked up some breakfast this morning from scratch kitchen and bistro. I knew that this restaurant was open but I never stopped in to order. I ordered the 3 egg platter with bacon, fried potatoes, and a lemon ricotta pancake. Everything tasted very good and my order was ready shortly after I arrived. If you are looking for breakfast in olney, I suggest you try scratch kitchen and bistro either for takeout or dine in. read more

Great food! Large and varied menu. Awesome ambiance. Excellent service. Will definitely go back.

Small locally owned restaurant with excellent personal service and great food. My friends and I have our birthday breakfast gatherings here and they take really good care of us. The breakfast burrito is excellent as is their coffee. Highly recommend. read more

Staff is all smiles and welcoming which is very refreshing for a restaurant post pandemic. Tucked away in a little strip on the corner of Georgia and 108. GO! The food is consistently delicious, the ambiance is bright and welcoming, and the price is unbeatable. I try to get something new each time I've gone - 1st time was breakfast, then breakfast and small plates, breakfast again so I'll be back to do dinner soon!! read more

Very chill spot. Fairly new restaurant that opened up in Olney on Georgia Ave. The turn for it is pretty quick, so if you miss it you might get yourself lost. They offer all sorts of food -- mainly brunch items, such as omelets and breakfast croissant sandwiches, but there are salads as well! There's a fresh orange juice they make behind the register and it's cool seeing those oranges churning in there. It's a great spot to work at during the day... well, it's your only option since they close at 3:00 haha. Beware though -- during lunch time, it gets busy! The warmer months aren't in issue since you can sit outside, but the inside can fit 20 people max. Once you're settled though, hopefully you get a chance to chat with the owners or see the kids running things. Sometimes they make mistakes, but they're young, they'll learn! And I feel like it adds to the family element. It's a bit of a hike for me, but whenever I'm in the area, I stop by. And you should too! read more

Food was amazing, everything felt so fresh! The steak tips were juicy and had a nice sauce to them, the potatoes didn't feel greasy, and the coffee was nice. Service was great as well!!! Local gem and hidden as well! If you know you know. read more

Five out of five. When I called and told them three of us were coming they indeed reserved our table for three and it was ready when we arrived, which I really appreciated. Quality of food and service was superb. It's a cute mom and pop shop, clean inside, very nice homey ambiance. The pancakes generally were so fluffy, though I wish they would have added more berry sauce on the lemon & ricotta stacks. Home fries were delicious! Steak was flavorful. I will be getting that next time I go as my husband got the steak and eggs. Eggs weren't overcooked. I really enjoyed myself. We will be back. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Vanilla Custard French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Stopped by early in A Sunday on the way back from BWI airport. Place is tucked in corner of small shopping center. Small and welcoming inside and were acknowledged immediately. Farm to table breakfast. Wife had a bacon and egg on brioche that looked delicious and I ordered the eggs and steak tips. Steak tips were cooked perfectly and marinated in a delicious sauce with onions and peppers. Hit the spot. Good Service read more

This cute little hole in the wall breakfast place is tucked away in olney. My boyfriend and i went to the farmers market on a Sunday and came across this place. The service was great; it seems like it's family owned. The food came out quickly and fresh. Also if you like freshly pressed Oj that offer that which is a nice touch. It is a little crammed inside so if you want to sit inside get there early. They also offer outside seating as well. Definitely check this place out if you want to support a small local business! read more

Stopped by Scratch Kitchen & Bistro mid-week for brunch. Ordering over the phone was easy and my order was ready at the time mentioned. The parking lot is interesting and parking could be a little difficult to find. Although dining in was limited, there was some outdoor seating and indoor seating as well. I tried the Single Hander, which was a breakfast sandwich with two eggs (I ordered mine over hard), cheese of your choice (cheddar for me when it comes to breakfast sandwiches), and Canadian bacon ($3+, they also have bacon and sausage). The sandwich was good, but pretty standard. The egg was huge compared to the croissant, which was soft and flaky. Canadian bacon was a little on the dry side as it was overcooked. I also tried some of the chicharron and yuca, which I wasn't a fan of sadly. I found both to be overcooked and the chicharron to be dry. I'd definitely pass on this one next time around. There's some items on their menu that sound interesting, so I may make my way back Scratch Kitchen & Bistro when I'm in the area. read more

Actually a 2.5 star review rounded up. So the prior reviews made this place look outstanding so I suffered the wrath of a child and switched our destination from CFA to here. We ordered the Whotella, brunch burger, crab cake and children's wrap. Every dish felt oddly not configured from scratch. The brunch burger may not have been a from scratch patty with a quickly thrown together salad and a lot of onion on top. The Whotella changed animals and became a mouse, which then had to be explained. The kids wrap was big enough for an adult. The crab cake was seared and close to completely singed to a 1/8 inch size with no flavor but salt emanating. The bacon was perfect and although I couldn't tell if they were hand cut or frozen, the hash was also crispy and yummy. The serving staff was amazing and the place feels like a cute beach town restaurant , but I don't think in good conscience I'd recommend it. I may try it again. read more

Cute little homey hole in the wall, type of place. The food was good. The guy running everything was cool. & the food came out quickly. & we got a good amount of food for $45, that we were able to split. I was disappointed there was no lobster or crabs cakes at the time. I'm giving this place a 3 out of 5 because their menu is pretty ordinary. It's not a bad place if you live around the corner or if you want a quick but decent breakfast. read more

I was really excited to try Scratch Kitchen & Bistro as I saw many reviews raving about the food. We stopped for a brunch carry out order and the disappointment didn't stop... From the moment I walked into the restaurant, I was never greeted, although a waitress and another guy were walking back and forth, joking with each other. When I was finally asked what I could be helped with, I was given my order which I stood there and watched getting placed on a Uber eats cart to the side. When I got home, I was disappointed by the food and presentation. Everything was cold. I purposely chose scrambled eggs and crispy bacon because I wanted my food well done, but my eggs were runny and my bacon was soft. I was given one tiny thing of butter for my order of French toast and a pancake. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was bland. I barely touch salt when it comes to cooking but I went for both salt and pepper when I got home. There were 5 blueberries and no cinnamon for my cinnamon French toast with berries. My pancake was burnt. The 3 eggs in my big breakfast looked like they used baby eggs for the amount that I got. Nothing about my experience was amazing like the many reviews I read. The restaurant itself is on a small strip mall surrounded by other small restaurants. Parking wasn't awful but the indoor dining space is very limited. Tip - hit the menu tab to see their full menu, as the photos posted do not list everything. read more

Walk in, order, eat, pay then leave within like 30 mins! Awesome quick service with yummy food! Extremely kind employees, although a small restaurant, the people here have big hearts and care for their customers. Lots of natural light inside the restaurant and a small patio with some tables! Definitely come here for any meal! Owner is also awesome, tell him this place is awesome too!!!!!! read more

Fun fun fun! This place is fun. It's kinda small on the inside but there's a ton of outdoor seating. Obviously, you can get stuff to go too. That they do breakfast all day is one of its biggest selling points. We ordered a cherry danish, pancakes, and the lobster roll (with a side of onion rings). Oh yeah...and orange juice. All of the food was deeeeelish! The pancakes were perfectly cooked, the cherry danish was a perfect balance of pastry and filling, and the lobster roll had a TON of lobster on it, it was in a very tasty tarragon mayo, and the roll was toasted just right. Also the onion rings were perfectly cooked. The fresh squeezed orange juice was surprisingly just okay. The biggest issue with it was that it was on ice...which will quickly dilute a lovely freshly squeezed anything. I'd either skip it next time or try and remember to ask for no ice (honestly, they should ask you that when you order it). Anyway, this place is great and I'm hoping I can make the Yelp Elite event that's coming up later this year. read more

We stopped by scratch kitchen for breakfast recently and while the menu is very limited, the food was delicious. The woman behind the counter was also super kind and welcoming. I got the single hander and my husband got the burger off the lunch menu. I appreciate the brioche buns bc who doesn't love a brioche?! My husbands one wish was that he had the option of regular fries. He's not a fan of sweet potatoes so the fries were kind of lost on him. We'll likely be back. I'm looking forward to what other menu items they have up their sleeves. read more

I saw this place had some good reviews so my husband and I decided to try it. The place was very small and didn't have many tables but since we went at opening time, we didn't have a problem getting a table. I got the American breakfast platter and I think my husband got the steak and eggs. We both liked our food but I probably would prefer my husband's dish after trying it lol. The meat is very flavorful, I would definitely recommend it. read more

Went to Scratch Kitchen this morning. Atmosphere really inviting. Very warm greeting upon entering. Food delicious. Two of us had the Big Scratch Egg Platter. Eggs cooked perfectly, home fries, sausage, and a pancake. Our other person had the Single Hander Sandwich. Eggs cooked perfectly, bacon, home fries, chedar cheese on a brioche bun. All and all, it was a really good experience. We are thankful to the couple that recomended Scratch to us at Sol Azteca. read more

This was a really nice surprise. They have outdoor seating. I got a breakfast burrito and it came with seasoned fried potatoes, sour cream and salsa. It was delicious and fresh and the service was really friendly. I asked to pay early since I only had a short amount of time. She brought me a to go container as well. I'll definitely be back. It's hidden away behind the shopping center, but there is easy parking. They have breakfast all day. read more

A nice little gem. Met a friend for breakfast on a Sunday morning and we both enjoyed our food. The spot is very small but we were comfortable and did not feel crowded. I enjoyed my bacon sandwich and my friend enjoyed her bagel lox. Would definitely return. read more

I would not eat here. the breakfast was not good. Pancakes taste like rubber, turkey bacon was rough, orange juice was sour and the breakfast potatoes were not cooked through. I think the server may have been new because she didn't really know the menu and had to keep coming back to clarify our order. Not really her fault if she is new. The owner or the manager was rude to me from the beginning and I think he didn't want us to eat here. The venue is small, can fit about ten people inside but there is outdoor seating. We sat outside, and unfortunately the flies came so we went inside, he didn't seem happy about that. I ordered coffee and had to get up to ask for it to be brought to me. she over filled the cup so there was no room for almond milk (again I think she was new), so I poured out some of the coffee outside. The owner/manager got very upset that I poured it outside, he said I ruined the patio and that I was the cause of having flies out there which i thought was strange, I've never seen flies attracted to coffee. All in all, I would never eat here again, nor recommend it to anyone else. read more

Ordered delivery. Ordered breakfast empanada with bacon in it but received just eggs and cheese in it. There are two empanadas in an order and neither had the bacon in it. I ordered a side of bacon for someone else and french fries. I don't think the eggs are real scrambled eggs, or they have something added to them. Maybe they're eggbeaters. The french fries were not fried or perhaps fried in an air fryer. I have never had french fries like these sort of steamed with a little bit of oil on them. The skins are on the fries, but I had to throw them out because they were not good. read more

I ordered a Salmon Lox Bagel from Scratch Kitchen and was very impressed by the quality and appearance of the food. The lox bagel was a great size! Very large bagel, I was impressed. Highly recommend! I ordered using the online order ahead for pickup. My order was ready on time and the service for pickup was very polite. I look forward to trying this place out again soon. read more

Food was delicious. We went for brunch. Half of us ordered breakfast and half ordered lunch. I loved my Cobb salad especially the dressing. The table next to us had the empanadas that looked amazing. They even asked for the manager to compliment the food. I liked the option to sit outside. The only downside was our server. She seemed annoyed that she was there and everything we asked for seemed like a huge request! read more

This was tough. Didn't get utensils after asking for them twice and getting our food. Someone from our party had to walk inside and get some. I wanted to love lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes but felt meh, only at one of the stack. The custard French toast was better but also nothing too spectacular. I have a feeling we just were there on a day they were super short staffed... so I'm gonna give back a star for the benefit of the doubt. read more

Homey atmosphere, friendly staff, and fresh ingredients. The eggs with the lox and bagle was one of the brightest orange/yellow yolks I've seen. You can never go wrong with French Toast. We will definitely be back. read more

I popped into Scratch today for breakfast. It's in that weird, awkward plaza in Olney on Georgia and Olney-Layonsville -- parking is tough and access isn't easy. I just parked at the other plaza where Popeyes is and walked over. It's a small place, and it was a might crowded on a Sunday; standing room was limited, let alone sitting, so I got mine to go. I grabbed an orange juice and their interesting sounding soft shell crab breakfast sandwich. It's crab, egg, and bacon on a bun. The bun itself was fantastic, and the eggs and crab worked together oddly and deliciously. The bacon was a little over powering for the other flavours, and I might order it without if I get another (sacrilege, I know). They're not that far from the house, and I think I might have a goto breakfast spot now. read more

If you find yourself in Olney looking for a quick bite, find your way to Scratch Kitchen and support local! It's a tiny, cozy little bistro where they serve up fresh OJ and handmade sandwiches. I stopped in at breakfast time, so I got a blueberry muffin and an egg & cheese croissant with a small OJ. It was a short wait (the place was packed and there was a line ahead of me), but it was worth it - soft muffin, sweet and tart from the blueberries, and a hot sandwich with the perfect blend of egg and melted cheese on a buttery croissant, all washed down with the freshest OJ in Montgomery County! The word is out - stop by Scratch Kitchen! read more
