Good food; attentive service. Nice outdoor eating area, tucked away from main road but with easy access. I went for lunch two days in a row. read more

Food is great, as is the service. Hubby loves their pancakes, and "big breakfast." I love their BLT which they serve on toasted marble rye (the original way). Cozy place, with some outside seating. read more

Delicious food with farm-to-table ingredients, fast and friendly service, cozy atmosphere. What's not to love?!

I love to support small businesses but this was a horrible experience that should never have happened. I looked online at the restaurant's website before we came and decided we would both order the Cobb Salad for lunch. When we walked in there were several open tables and a man who is presumably the manager/host barked at us to sit at a specific table which was directly in the sun so we declined and sat at an open table not in direct sun. He was extremely rude from then on. I ordered 2 Cobb salads and he said "it's a turkey cobb". I said per your menu it comes with turkey OR grilled chicken and I started to pull out my phone to show him what I had just looked up and he said fine you can have it with chicken. My Mom said can I get grilled chicken" and his response was "what other way"? Then we get the salads and it was such a paper thin layer of ingredients for $15 each we both had to stop on the way home to get something to eat. Worse - I got the check and he charged me an "additional charge/upcharge" of $6 for the grilled chicken that their own online menu (see pic attached) claims it comes with. Upcharges are normally listed on menus OR the wait staff is supposed to let customers know. He was so rude the entire time I had no plans to argue with him. I went home and looked online again and sure enough the menu was as I posted. I called my credit card company and they are going to help me dispute this erroneous charge. $15 for that salad was a ripoff to begin with I'm not paying $21 for it with that upcharge. Horrible way to treat customers. read more

From the get go the service was very pleasant. The waitress was wonderful and the food was Awesome. Love this place very nice inside beautiful decor. read more

The food is great. I'd say it's the best breakfast in the area. Cozy atmosphere. Service is prompt even when they are busy.

A bit hard to find but well worth the search. The food IS from scratch. First time, tuna sandwich, this time French toast...excellent! I will be back asap. read more

We stopped here for brunch and the food was delicious and the staff were attentive and genuinely trying to please.

What can i say, my first time LAST TIME HERE! Ordered the Sirloin tips and omelette with provolone cheese when my meal arrived 15 minutes later with only 3 tables occupied the order was a bit short of Right. My omelette didn't have the cheese that was ordered with them,when i inquired about it the server brought me a bowl with melted cheese which had me in laughable shock. I sent back and i ate the very flavorful rip tips (delicious) just way too tough. Manager was pleasant and tried to guide server how to apologize but was a complete disappointment. read more

Food and service are good. The atmosphere was not what I expected. Very small and crowded. Maybe being crowded is a good sign. :)

Cute spot. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good food. Lots of options. Great service. Returned after my first visit.

Came here with my mother, the place was slammed and we noticed no one had their food, everyone was waiting. We went up and ordered 2 coffees and 2 muffins. It took the man behind the counter 20 minutes to get this order to us. He took our order and then went back to the kitchen and stayed there, meanwhile we are waiting at the counter looking at both the coffee machine and the muffins.... Upon getting out order, my mom asked for cream. She was given milk and then she asked if they had cream. At that point the man grabbed the coffee out of my mothers hand and told her "have a nice day" -- this is unacceptable and extremely disrespectful. I will not be coming back and strongly discourage anyone giving this place any business. read more

Eggs were over cooked and had to be sent back. Potatoes were old and not freshly cooked. After all the reviews we were very surprised at the poor quality of the food. The service was ok. read more

I think we hit them on an off day because the reviews were good but our experience was bad. The staff was nice but there was clearly some staffing issue going on. The food took a very long time to come out for everyone in the restaurant. We had to ask for silverware and water, we also didn't ever get part of our order. It took us a long time to even get the check which we had to eventually go up and ask for. Worth another shot given the reviews, but doubt we are going back. read more

My son and i had brunch here. He ordered a cheese burger on brioche, I had a philly. We were not prepared for the deliciousness that was delivered. The Philly was mouth watering, the red and green peppers were incredible. The steak was absolutely mouth watering. The cheeseburger was perfect on brioche. I may make this a weekly visit, since i need to be in this area for appointments. The weather was perfect and the outdoor seating felt amazing. I highly recommend this brunch restaurant if you are in the need for food that melts in your mouth. read more

I love this place. They have it all! Just simply good fresh food. We sat outside and ordered the Big Scratch Classic and the Nutella Frenchie - highly recommended. Great energy and biggest smiles to welcome you in. Service is spectacular! It's also a very diverse and welcoming kitchen. Will definitely be coming back read more

I'm reviewing and giving 4 stars based on several factors that I feel made this score. Food was delicious, served promptly little on the expensive side, but that's ok when it's good quality, but plates lacked in presentation. Unfortunately it was a chilly windy day otherwise sitting outside on their patio would be nice even though it is technically in their parking lot. But it's a relatively quiet area set away from Georgia Ave. Inside is small, there are 5 tables and a few seats at the bar by the front window. Tables are set with paper towel rolls and appeared that salt and pepper shakers were shared amongst tables. Ours was taken for another table without sanitizing between tables nor were tables wiped down between customers, which I hope owners will bring as a new protocol. We dined in after ordering at the counter as we were not aware we could order from the table and have sit down service. The young man working the counter taking orders was very polite and patient. Once we sat down, it wasn't long before our meal came out. Only constructive criticism that I hope they change is the gentleman came back to the table after delivering the food with hand carrying the utensils. That didn't sit well with either of us. The other unfortunate observation was the table next to us asked for water at least 5 times both when placing their order as well as several times when food brought out on 2 different visits and after. We purchased a tiny bottled water not realizing water could be served at the table. The first impression walking in the door is more like a carryout with seating instead of a restaurant style, sit down & be served type establishment. Seemed other's that arrived after us were greeted and made known they could have a seat at a table and provided menus. I did read the dinner menu & saw several items that looked good, so a return for dinner might be in the future. Love the owners story and having a healthy farm to table concept is something refreshing and hope they succeed. As a side note, there is one communal restroom. Good experience overall, but in these days where we are conscientious about cleanliness and keeping away cross contaminations wasn't so confident. I think this is great potential start up,! read more

Glad this place is here. It's not expensive and its close to me. The parking lot is not the best but manageable. I ordered the $14 breakfast and asked to add 2 more pancakes. It was a language barrier, do after several minutes of communicating, the manager came out and said he would give me an order of 4 pancakes for free. I said that I didn't want it for free, I just wanted 2 individual pancakes to my order. The food was great! You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Food so good I recommended friends and they love it too. read more

This place just opened 4 weeks ago but you can't really tell. The operation seems to flow very smoothly. The owner let me taste a little stuffed donut that they make with raspberry which was unbelievable. The place is very pretty bright and clean with a lovely little outdoor seating area. They have a small but very interesting menu a mixture of classics with a little extra twist. Lovely handmaid desserts and a good selection of teas and drinks et cetera to go with your meal. I ordered the double hander which is a soft shell crab with eggs bacon and tomatoes on a brioche bun with terragon Mayonnaise. It was as big as 2 sandwiches and tasted delicious. Heard another lady praising the lox and bagel extravagantly. She tried it and said it was excellent, the salmon was very tender. The chicken and waffles with crab dip were also great per the folks at the next table. This place is a tiny jewelry in a nondescript strip mall in Olney but well worth the effort to find it. Enjoy! read more

Had a terrific breakfast here. We had the steak tip breakfast with three eggs and hash browns. It was cooked to perfection. Wife had the Ivy bagel and lox which was also super. Friend had the tuna met and fries - also yummy. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! Excellent value and delicious meal. read more

Mediocre food. Very slow service. Have had my order come out wrong. Borderline rude service.

Really great brunch options in a pleasant, modern but relaxed atmosphere. We ordered an omelette platter and a classic scratch platter. Both were served quickly, delicious. The owner served us a fresh muffin for desert as a bonus! read more

Scratch Kitchen - Muffin! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Delicious breakfast served by friendly people in this small restaurant. Outdoor and indoor seating choices (we opted for inside).

This bistro features a farm to table menu and a charismatic staff that puts the A in ambiance. When I arrived at this local Olney brunch favorite, I was instantly greeted with smiles and warm personalities. I ordered the 1/2 Pound Rosemary BBQ Steak Tip Sandwich, empanadas, chocolate croissant and fresh squeezed orange juice. The steak sandwich encompasses a 48 Hour house marinated balsamic, rosemary, bbq steak tips grilled and topped with sautéed peppers and onions. The steak can be cooked according to preference. The sandwich to include the bread was heavenly and the sweet potato fries were scrumptious. The empanada and chocolate croissant were delicious. Lastly, the freshly squeezed orange juice was refreshing. I have not ventured here for Saturday or Sunday brunch but it's recommended to make reservations. Treat yourself! read more

The eggs Benedict is top notch, the English muffins are the best I've ever had anywhere in the world. Grab a coffee and sit outside, makes for a lovely brunch read more

Service was good. Nice touch with the muffin while you wait for your food. I had the Blt on rye, very good. My friend had the jerk chicken empanadas, she said they were ok but would never order again. Her salad and French Fries were really good. The French fries were homemade with just the right amount of crispy. Overall a great experience. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Buttermilk pancake Chocolate Chip Pancake Stack (4) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Amazing first time visit to the Scratch Kitchen. We met the owner, who was very friendly & inviting. A delightful small cafe set up. Perfect for a day date, friends meet up or a mommy & me. Not large enough for a family of more than 4. Quaint & cute atmosphere. The menu is authentic. We loved the different options. Fresh brewed coffee was delightful. The freshly squeezed OJ was a pleasure. All wonderful choices. The hash brown were perfect with a little fresh peppers & onions. Everything was delicious. Definitely worth becoming a regular. Best breakfast in the area. read more

Quaint, family friendly spot. Food is good and service is warm and friendly. Yes the seating is a bit tight but it just adds to the cozy vibe. Kids menu- waffles were a hit and it was a nice touch when the kids were asked if they wanted powdered sugar on top (cause why not). Mayorga coffee was excellent. read more

Scratch Kitchen & Bistro in Olney has horrible service and the staff is rude. Don't waste your time or money.

Fantastic food! No matter what you get, you'll enjoy it. Staff was very kind. The beef empanadas were the best I've ever had.

Locally owned, farm to table restaurant. Everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. I have been here twice. The service is very friendly but a bit disorganized. Maybe because it's new. But the food is fabulous and the prices are very competitive. read more

The food is always delicious, fresh and fast service. I always come here when I'm in Roanoke and I've never had a bad meal. The parking can be tricky, but the food is worth it. read more

-5 stars if it was possible. Service was horrible, food was awful. Waitstaff posed as owner as some kind of intimidation tactic when we brought it to his attention that not a single plate was correct. If you're looking for a confrontational and uncomfortable experience with employees of some half assed diner, I couldn't recommend this place anymore. If you're looking for a pleasant dining experience, stay 500 miles away from this place. read more

I visited twice this week. I enjoyed the tuna melt for lunch mid week. Good quality sandwich and great service. Staff was testing dinner items and offered a freshly prepared, complimentary empanada. Yum! Very friendly team and a really nice looking cafe inside and out. Returned for breakfast today. While food quality, service and atmosphere was 4+, the overall experience was less than 3. The one-hander sandwich was great but not prepared with the correct cheese despite the server confirming. The second sandwich was ordered as an everything bagel with Turkey bacon and cheddar (toasted). I received an untoasted, plain bagel with tomatoes, capers and onions - no cheese. The third item was to have been rosemary potatoes with cheddar. These came with American cheese. I would like to emphasize that the food quality was excellent but each modifier (despite the server carefully placing the order with the handheld) was incorrect. Easy fix with time and training hopefully. This is a new restaurant. Growing pains are expected. I provide these comments as a fan that will return. Just want to be sure you have feedback that is constructive and fair. Finally, now I'm being picky, the coffee (8OZ cup) was nearly $4. It's good coffee... but that pricing is pretty high comparatively. Welcome to the neighborhood. I'll be back. read more

Very attentive service. Excellent food for breakfast and brunch. Limited indoor dining but we enjoy it every time

Name sounded appealing so we went. Order at register and they bring to you. Outside and inside are both clean nice places. I ordered "Angie's Lobstah" and it was amazing. Plenty of juicy lobster meat topped with tomatoes and lettuce and this yummy tasting sauce. The sweet potatoes fries paired perfectly with the roll. The kids loved the homemade pancakes, fresh eggs and fresh squeezed orange and apple juice. She gets the pastries local too! Lots to see and choose from. Left happy and my belly was satisfied. read more
