Good grief, this used to be my favorite place to come. Last few times I've come the service is…read moreterrible. The bartenders hang out at the end of the bar and talk to their friends. Thought I'd give it one more try couple of new bartenders ordered a drink and two bartenders had to look at a sheet on how to make it or look at a recipe, they should be trained before you put them at the bar without supervision. I got my drink and sat at the bar for 45 minutes. No one has asked if I wanted to order food. I've mentioned in previous reviews, I used to come here once or twice a week. I'm done with this place. And I feel like the literary tavern is on the same path. Cantine and the literal Tavern I used to go to all the time, I'm done with these two places. Same owner apparently management doesn't care. It's so annoying watching a bartender scroll on their phone for 20 minutes and then talk to their friends for 20 minutes that are hanging out at the bar. That's not why you're here.

Have not been in here for a little bit so decided to stop in and check it out. It's a very cute and…read morecozy coffee shop with soothing music playing throughout it. This definitely is more of a traditional quiet cafe rather then one where there is lots of people working/headphones on, etc. They offer cheesecakes, cakes and more by the slice or I believe you can purchase the entire thing. They also offer sandwiches/wraps and other made to order items if that's what you're looking for. I'm not exactly sure which goods are baked in house and which are bought from a place but regardless it's great they offer such variety. Everything tasted really good. The cold salads sit in a case so you can look at them before ordering. I recommend the apple caramel cheesecake although it's not pictured. The prices for coffee are very good and I enjoy the styrofoam cup as it keeps drinks hot and cold. They also give very nice glasses/mugs if you choose to dine in and ask for your drinks to be prepared that way. The food is also priced pretty fairly, and the slices of cakes are a bit pricy at 7.99 but you get a very large portion.

We ordered the Potato Pancake Platter with a side of fruit cup and coffee. The eggs were okay, and the potato pancake was actually delicious. It was more like a hash brown cooked in pancake batter, which worked really well. I didn't care much for the bacon since it was too thin for my liking. The coffee was average, and the fruit cup was underwhelming. Overall, the food wasn't anything extraordinary, just average, or maybe even slightly below average.

Service is usually fine - even though it does seem like this place is perpetually understaffed trying to keep up with walk ins since they don't take reservations. We don't mind waiting and always tip extra because they do work hard. So happy this is in our community now. Food is flavorful and the portions are big. Drinks are premade so just be mindful of that if you're someone who's critical of that type of a thing (pretty standard at a breakfast spot!).

This restaurant offers absolutely the best French toast. I got the banana & bourbon caramel bread…read morepudding French toast ($16.50), and it was divine. What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.

It's also much larger than I expected and has a lovely patio out front with lots of tables. They have a large food menu with typical cafe eats as well as dinner entrees. I came for lunch on a Friday and got a tiramisu iced coffee (very good), as well as a mushroom crepe. The crepe could have been a little hotter, but it was tasty and the drink was good. Can't wait to go back to try more drinks and pastries.

We all visited Cafe Blanc for the first time and loved our experience especially the large (free) parking lot. We sat on the 2nd level towards the back. QUICK REVIEW (read this if you don't want to read this whole review): Try the potato pancakes. Great food and service. Slightly more elevated cafe. Busy during peak morning/afternoon hours and most likely less busy in the evenings. I have not been in the evening yet. Free parking lot and free wifi. FOOD - there are lots of food options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have sandwiches, salads, pizza, and pastries. I arrived around 10:20am so I wanted breakfast. I read that the croissants are okay but I haven't tried them. I ordered the potato pancakes, blueberry hibiscus tea (hot) as a dine-in order plus a slice of almond cake as a takeout order. The potato pancakes ($19) was delicious. It comes with 3 thick potato pancakes topped an egg on the center and with bacon bits spread all over. The potato pancakes also come with sour cream on the side which I didn't realize so I moved that to the side of my plate because I don't like or eat sour cream. I would order the potato pancakes again as a savory breakfast item but $19 is a little steep for the price. The blueberry hibiscus tea ($4) was a refreshing drink served on a mug. If you enjoy the combination of white tea leaves, rose hips, natural blueberry, and hibiscus then this tea is for you. I also ordered an almond cake slice ($6) but to go. The almond cake is a light and tasty cake with sliced/shaved almonds on top. SERVICE -- Friendly. Me and one of the shorter female employee had a nice laugh when I went down later in the day to order an almond cake. They started getting busy when I arrived after 10am on a weekday but I was able to walk right up to the front counter to order. The buzzer handed to me buzzed probably within 15-20 mins and I went down to get my order. I believe the tea that I ordered was ready first. Overall, I'll definitely be back. Prices are higher than a traditional cafe. The plus is that there is free wifi so it's a perfect spot to work on your laptop. The tables are big and the chairs are comfortable. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 99/250 total reviews in 2026 - 940 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026
