Found this place and picked up several pastries for my other half who can afford to eat them. The staff is super friendly. Their cakes look delicious as well as beautiful. read more

I was driving by and saw the sign. Glad I stopped in. Great atmosphere and good. The food was so good, I dove in without taking a picture. I got a sandwich, side of fruit, coffee, & peanut butter cookie for $14. Well worth it! read more

Super cute bakery with small portions for breakfast! Outside seating partially covered. Danish's are amazing!

Growing up we would come to 607 W Russell to visit Mr Carrera. He was our family barber and this used to be Carrera's Barber Shop. Now it is the cutest little bakery with a delicious chicken sandwich! Today I took my mom for an early Mother's day lunch and we shared a few memories. This place is very nostalgic for us. Back to lunch...Mom had the Ham and Brie sandwich, the best part is, their sandwiches come with two sides and a dessert!! I had half a blondie and Mom had the lemon bar. It was such a beautiful day out on the patio. We will definitely be returning. read more

Good was decent for the area. Seating is very limited mostly outdoors. Guy behind the counter is pretty rude. Probably won't go back.

Small, cozy, made by scratch (I assume) but the prices were too high in comparison for a caprese sandwich. Bread was sweet which was unexpected and not a good flavor match. Quiche was the size of a little Debbie muffin which is unacceptable for the price. Infused water was good except it was lukewarm and no ice was offered. I will pass if asked to go there again. read more

Loved it! The perfect little lunch place for an intimate lunch with a small group of friends. It felt like someone's home and the food was delicious. The pecan bar was so delicious we bought an extra one on our way out. read more

Loved Scratch Kitchen! There's something special about sitting in a quaint garden patio enjoying good homemade food. I adore their garden-chic ambience coupled with freshly baked breads and pastries. Great for a quick bite or a leisurely, sit-back and relax lunch. Come alone, or bring a friend. It's all good here! FOLLOW ON IG @letseattexas for many more reviews and photos. read more

I've been twice and both times left thinking it was just okay. I can definitely say their coffee sucks. It's either Luke-warm when they serve it or really weak. I hate having to go to Starbucks but after a particularly unsatisfying coffee experience there (and I tipped 25%!) I drove into Starbucks that's down the street and had to get another coffee. It was hot and well made unlike the horrible experience I had at scratch kitchen. I definitely want to support small businesses but they need to up their game if they are charging those prices for food and coffee and plan to have folks that want to come back. read more

Delicious food. The brie and ham sandwich is to die for. Their quoina and salads are great. Make sure and get their flourless chocolate muffin. Its awesome. Good prices and good vibes. A+ Make sure to check out the outside patio.They have succulents, thyme, rosemary, basil and lemon verbena and more all growing. Its a really pretty atmosphere. read more

Scratch's holiday brownie is Absolute perfection! Moist, chewy, wonderfully chocolatey, and with just the right amount of peppermint to give it a warm, cozy holiday feel. read more

Food was fantastic!! A few highlights- biscuits and gravy had a ton of flavor and eggs were cooked well. The bread pudding was "mmmmm" worthy sigh every bite! They had some tables for 2 scattered around the house outside. There was only one table that could fit 6. I wanted to get the yogurt and berries for my 2 kids and asked for an extra bowl so I could split it and they kindly had it all split for me when they brought it out. read more

Insanely good. I had their Pimento cheese sandwich, which was amazing! The sides were good and each meal comes with a dessert. read more

Okay, *full disclosure*: I love little small business cafes. There's something to a little bakery/kitchen that just melts my heart. Maybe it's the creamy frosting, the tiny cupcakes, the cute interior, or the warm sandwiches with unique ingredients, but whatever, I love it. I've been to Scratch a few times now since they opened their doors, and for sure the best thing is the cupcakes. Yup, that's right, just eat cake. In case you're wondering though, the lunch specials are pretty sweet and they have a cute outdoor area for eating lunch. Thus far I've not gone wrong with one of their salads and soups, and with Winter coming on, that's bound to be perfect one of these days. Even the veggies (cauliflower last time I was in) was delish. Again, though: CUPCAKES!!! I can't recommend just one; they're all good. But definitely upgrade to a big cupcake if you're willing to sacrifice the calories. It's the cherry on top of your meal. (Insert cupcake emoji.) read more

I met a colleague for lunch here yesterday and had a stellar experience. Lovely setting - just the respite we needed from our crazy work life. GREAT sandwiches and amazing service. My sandwich included two sides AND a sweet (WHAT???). I chose a blueberry muffin, which I brought home and ate later. O.M.G. - maybe the best blueberry muffin I have ever had. HUGE blueberries with a yummy sweet crumble on top. I brought home a to go meal for my husband, and he said the potato soup was so filling he couldn' t finish his sandwich. New favorite place! read more

Fresh delicious whole food! The food, baked goods, & coffee were all really delicious! I wouldn't recommend going with a large group. It may take a little longer to get your food BUT it'll be hot and fresh ‍. Definitely will be back next time we're in town! read more

Found this nice brunch spot based on its yelp ratings...yay for this app! I was happy to find a decent location of a brunch at noon, that was not crazy crowded. I found parking easy as they have a lot. IT is a coffee/brunch spot in the basement of a classic home in SA. Went in and had plenty of places to sit inside and outside. I ended up ordering the coffee, Madame Croque dish, and a carrot cake cupcake. The coffee was a bit light and i was upset because they had run out of the Baby quiche, my first choice. I guess that's a good sign that it is good or they were just short. But either way the dish i had was tasty. The cupcake was DA TROOF! I usually don't get carrot cake but i thought i would try it and it was good. Great service, good food, and nice cupcakes. Happy to support local business! read more

Very pleased to welcome yet another local cafe into San Antonio! Scratch Kitchen has the right mix of a quaint, cozy atmosphere, friendly faces, & delicious, made from scratch food. They also serve White Elephant coffee-my favorite in town! Today we went for brunch, and I had the veggie quiche plate that comes with a salad & little cup of fruit. It was hands down the best quiche I've had with artichoke, spinach, white onion, & a little cheese. The salad & fruit was light & fresh. I couldn't resist getting a few of their cupcakes to try for later. I already scarfed down the mini chocolate one, and it was light, moist, and not overly sweet. I will definitely be back to introduce my girlfriends to this lovely, little place. read more

Updated review: We went back today for lunch and it was a totally different experience. The flys are gone and we were able to enjoy our food. The BLT is delicious! The sandwich was loaded with crispy bacon--much appreciated--and the traditional toppings, but they add avocado and a garlic mayo spread. The mini pumpkin cupcake included with the meal was moist, with the perfect amount of spice, and the icing wasn't overly sweet. Thankful that the owner, Becky, takes customer feedback seriously. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

Super cute hole in the wall! Park out back and make sure to hit them up for brunch. Limited indoor seating but they've got a lovely outside space. Irish breakfast, quiche and cinnamon bun were all amazing! We got tea cookies to go and everything was very reasonably priced! read more

"Mom, we've got to talk. I've found another whose baking I adore. Yes, we'll still do the holidays together and all that. It's just Scratch hooked me with cupcakes." Think your Mom's desserts can hang with Scratch? Well, at long as you believe still in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus then you may as well believe that too. Dreaming is good but this place is better. Between appointments I stopped in today before lunch to pick up some food (BLT, chips, quinoa salad and a mini cupcake) all for under $10. I already had someone who arrived early to my office and then another client after that one before I was able to consume my beautifully boxed lunch. I'm still in food bliss having just moments ago finished the last bite of my order. Thank you Scratch Kitchen for opening so close to my office. I can't wait to try other lunch choices...you're next Monte Cristo sandwhich! How can I describe it all when so everything is so tasty. Thick cut slices of bacon between fresh baked bread along with peak of perfection vegetables. Their chips I believe are prepared on site and they are heartier than the usual vending machine bags which more often than not house fragile broken chips. The quinoa salad was my first time having and I want more soon. Loved the taste. The best is shared last with you though good luck having me share any morsel of their out of this world great cupcakes. Who goes here? The locals who have kept this place busy even though they are still in soft opening mode. While here, there was a local tv station doing a story on them. You better get here before the rest of the city knows where to find them. Make sure to get yourself a cupcake from Scratch Kitchen and call your mother more often. Support small business as often as you are able. read more

Absolutely wonderful. The staff is super friendly and this place feels like home, such a lovely addition to the Alta Vista Neighborhood. I had the Greek Chicken pita, which was delicious. Filled with freshly sautéed chicken, hummus, tzatziki, feta, and lettuce...the flavors meshed perfectly! I had roasted cauliflower and fruit for my sides. The free mini cupcake included with every meal should be enough to get you here. The cream cheese frosting was to die for, super creamy and not overly sweet. It was definitely baked with love. read more

Wanted to come here for breakfast/brunch, but coming with a group is a no-go: Limited seating and small area. It's a nice date place or grab-n-go. However, didn't want to leave without trying something and glad I grabbed a brownie on the way out. Delish! I'd come again just for the brownies (moist, nutty, chocolatie!!) but they have a host of other baked goods that look delish as well. read more

I'm so excited about this brand new eatery in Alta Vista! Yesterday was their "soft opening" and today I walked over for lunch. I expected there to be some kinks as they got started, and I was ready to be supportive of this local business and generously overlook some initial awkwardness. As it turns out, this place can stand up to high expectations. The space is beautifully decorated, they know what they're doing, they have a fully developed lunch menu, and the food is really delicious! I had the mozzarella sandwich on their own fresh-baked bread. For $9 that come with 2 sides: I had a salad and roasted cauliflower. Every bite was fantastic--on par with a certain bakery at the Pearl. I finished the meal with a chocolate/raspberry cupcake. Perfect! I'm going to order exactly the same thing next time, but I'll bring my husband so I can taste other dishes. One other thing: I was shocked by the size of their lunch crowd today. Service was efficient, and I nabbed the last outdoor table and got my food quickly. A big group of people arrived shortly afterwards and had a slightly longer wait--but they were offered free cupcake coupons in recompense, so everyone was happy. If you want your choice of tables you might aim for arriving around 11:30 or 1:00 instead of high noon. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Mozzarella sandwich with sides of salad and roasted cauliflower. Crazy delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I just had a very disappointing lunch at Scratch this afternoon. I ordered the "big" house salad (with grilled chicken). This salad is far from inexpensive; $9.00 + $2.00 for chicken. I also added a raspberry cupcake (not sure on exact name) to my order. I should have known this was not going to be a pleasant experience when my salad took nearly 20 minutes to arrive at my table. When it finally arrived, so did the fruit flies!...they were EVERYWHERE!! Not the restaurant's fault, however this was pretty gross. Back to the salad...it was tiny!!!! By no means was this a "big" salad. It was more on the side of being a "side salad." The chicken was cut up into tiny pieces off to the side and looked like little chopped up croutons - I had to ask where the chicken was. Upon first glance I also noticed the yolk to the hard-boiled egg was very runny (a big no-no in my book). The salad was very blah; the owner came by to ask how everything tasted and I had to let her know that the price being charged for this salad is crazy. She offered to bring me more lettuce and showed up with a small bowl of lettuce to add to my tiny salad. The highlight of this meal was the cupcake. It was quite tasty! I would probably return simply to get a cupcake, however WILL NOT spend my hard earned money on the lunch menu. Following this visit I drove to McDonald's and got a kid's meal to fill me up. Overall, not impressed with this new eatery. read more

What a quaint little place tucked in on a corner lot off of San Pedro in the Alta Vista neighborhood. We walked here from Monte Vista so we could justify buying so many delicious goodies! I will keep telling myself that walking 1 block = 1 cupcake lol. The cupcakes were very delicious! I bought many but am pacing myself. The chocolate chip and banana cupcake was perfect. Dense and sweet, it reminded me of my Grandmothers banana bread! I did not try any soup or salad but I arrived 5 minutes before closing and didn't want to be "that" customer. I hope Alta & Monte Vista rally behind this place. It's a jewel box, and we need more people like this setting up local shops & eateries in the neighborhood. read more

Soft opening today and some of my friends from a watercolor class and I walked over for lunch. Delightful! Charming house and the couple who opened this new place offer sandwiches, salads, soups, and sweets. Every order gets a free cupcake. Each of us enjoyed our lunch. Quinoa bowl was very nice with chilled quinoa mixed with kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumber, pita chips, and topped with sautéed chicken. Nice contrast between the chill and the warmth. Flavors were fresh and good. Grilled pimento cheese looked really good. The walnut banana cupcake was a blast of sweet and nice that it was a mini cupcake as it made a good ending to the quinoa bowl Will definitely be back to try more on the menu. read more

Great little spot on the current of San Pedro and W. Russell. Great customer service. I had the bacon and egg sandwich, minus the avocado. The bread was warm and soft. The it was cooked perfectly over easy. The bacon was perfect and the tomato added to the taste of the sandwich. This is my first time here, I will be back. read more

Cute little home turned into a small eatery. Loved the at home atmosphere. Walking in immediately greeted with a beautiful case of goodies and a weekend brunch menu and box lunch menu. We opted to try the mozzarella basil sandwich (more lunch entree) which came with small salad and chips. We also tried from the brunch menu the avocado, bacon and egg sandwich (served with small fruit cup). Both sandwiches were delicious and the bread was super fresh. Would definitely return for other items!! read more

Awesome place! Staff is very helpful and nice. Great customer service. The cupcakes are Devine, (vanilla, w/homemade raspberry sauce). The quiches are good to. I just wish they where bigger for longer enjoyment. but definitely check this place out! It's pretty great. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Best cinnamon roll I have had in a while! highly recommend! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My friend & I were in San Antonio and looking for a nice Sunday breakfast and were delighted to discover Scratch. Fresh baked goods, lots of choices & very friendly, accommodating staff. Croque Madame, Irish breakfast & veggie quiche were all enjoyed. We went back to bring pastries home. A charming, unique gem in the Alta Vista neighborhood of San Antonio. read more

GREAT lunch at Scratch Kitchen. Ate the chicken salad sandwich w/roasted cauliflower and fruit. Opted for the red velvet cupcake w/my lunch, absolutely delicious, frosting was right on and not too sweet and the cupcake was the perfect compliment to hit the sweet spot after finishing lunch. Opted for chicken salad on wheat bread, chicken salad had great flavor bread had a slight toast to it, that was again the perfect touch, with the salad came 2 sides, my choices were roasted cauliflower & fruit. The cauliflower was roasted perfectly & flavor full. Fruit was seasonal and tasty. Seating limited and quaint. Sat family still at a table w/other lunchers. A bit hot inside the restaurant, but hey, this is Texas, it's hot everywhere. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Ham & Brie was a perfect start to my day! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Nice coffee and scratch sandwich shop. Very cute and great atmosphere. Food was very good as well.

I rarely write reviews that are this poor, which is so sad because I had such high hopes for this place! My husband and I are new to San Antonio and thought we would grab a quick brunch since it looked so good. We arrived at 12pm exactly and ordered 5-10 minutes after that. And then we waited, and waited. Our food did not come out until 1:30pm. I kid you not, an hour and a half later, for two sandwiches. About an hour and ten minutes after we placed our order, my husband went to check if they had forgotten it, to which they replied "Sorry, we just have a lot of orders right now." I understand that they likely have orders through other avenues such as take out but we watched everyone who was there prior to us receive their food, eat it, and leave. At 1pm it was just us and another couple outside. I feel that this timeline is simply unacceptable for a business, even one that prides themselves on making everything from scratch, especially at a $30 price point. We spoke with them after we finally got our food (which we quickly ate because we were starving at that point), just to let them know that our experience was so disappointing. Surely the business model should be changed if food comes out that slow. To their credit, they were kind and said we could come in again for another brunch if we wanted to. The food was very good but not worth an hour and a half wait in my opinion. I don't think we'll be back unless it's to pick up pastries quickly or something. read more

The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly. Very eclectic setting. Cute place to visit. Seems like a great place to get a cup of coffee and a pastry, sit down to read a book, catch up on some work, or have a conversation with an old acquaintance. The Monte Cristo and Ham & Brie sandwiches were fantastic! read more
