Oh my goodness....best cupcakes. No seriously! Best cupcakes! I love sweets but I am picky about…read morethem. These cupcakes were so perfect. I love that they have a lot of different flavors to order! Their icing is so so good and that is what makes the difference. Each cupcake is only $3 as well and is totally worth it!

So I'd like to start off by saying I have always loved Scratch and all of their unique cupcakes,…read morebut my absolute favorite thing ever was always their cupcake shake, where you get to pick any cupcake and they make it into a shake. Honestly that's the only reason I ever go. Recently, I went to Scratch for a cupcake shake Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but each day they had no ice and no milk. For three days straight they had no product that could easily be purchased and brought to the store, despite me asking each day for the same thing. I'm really disappointed as I have always loved this spot, but I'm annoyed that this a very fixable reoccurring issue. If the issue is that you don't sell enough cupcake shakes to buy ice and milk all the time, maybe post some advertisement in the store for it, every person I have brought here has loved this menu item but it feels like it's a secret menu item while it has potential to be yalls best seller. Definitely on the manager at this point, some changes have to be made.

Mary was very responsive on email and worked with our complicated travel schedules to arrange a "take home" tasting so we could select our cake flavors and frosting. While we didn't stretch her much as an artist (her gallery proves that she's as much a sculptor as a baker), she was very attentive to our simpler aesthetic and produced exactly the grand, elegant wedding cake we had hoped for. Our guests are still talking about how delicious it was! We had a great experience working with Mary and couldn't have asked for anything better.

The owner (Tiphanie) is something else. Rude, unprofessional, and somehow convinced she's above…read moreeveryone when her business is hanging on by the thinnest thread of customer patience. My first experience with her? I called to order a smash cake for my baby's first birthday. I sent my budget and a reference photo like any normal parent would (which was the most simple and plain cake that I actually ended up making myself but better) and she laughed -- actually laughed -- and said, "Let me put it like this, you're asking for a BMW cake on a Honda budget." That's what she said to a first time mom and first time customer. I was disgusted. That moment told me everything. She acts like she's doing people a favor by taking their money. The desserts are mediocre, the food is a joke, and her public responses to reviews are even worse...petty, defensive, and dripping with the same arrogance I heard on the phone. Then there's her social media.. full of cringe-worthy videos that make you wonder how someone can be this unaware of their own attitude. And apparently she orders Instacart and doesn't even tip. It's all the same energy: take, brag, and belittle. If she ever treated customers with even a fraction of the respect they deserve, she might actually have a good thing going. But for now, her reputation matches her product.. stale and hard to swallow.

It's grandmas old table and chairs, family pictures on the wall, bowls and rolling pins on a bakers shelf in the corner and oldies playing in the kitchen with someone singing along as she cooks. This is clearly family run. We got there within an hour of them closing and our waitress was ducking out a bit early because she had a hair appointment but it's ok because "mom would run the food". BTW-they aren't joking about what time they take their last orders and I understand why. It did take some time for our food to come. It was just mom/grandma aka the best home cook making the food. There is no prep line or sous chef here. You legit get homemade, from scratch straight from the kitchen food. Just like mom makes. Or like moms used to make. So be patient. Good food made with love will take longer than you might want it to but let me tell you. It was worth it.
