    Breakfast Sandwich and Medium Coffee
    Karey R.

    Scratch Bakery is full of comfort food and homemade baked goods. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon and coffee. The sandwich was much bigger than I anticipated so I ended up bringing 1/2 of the scrumptious sammie home with me. The coffee was not great, I would have preferred a stronger blend. I ended up coming back inside for the Manna Buns, which are described as a combination of an English muffin and a bagel. They sell Manna buns by the 1/2 dozen in a bag. I brought them home and they were promptly eaten within two days. My family loved the Manna Buns, which is a problem for me as Scratch Bakery is a considerable drive from my home. The service was relatively do it yourself. I clearly needed some direction, however the staff was pretty busy restocking. The inside is clean and well organized, the seating is outside, so dress accordingly.

    The cafe was full of friendly customers and staff and really wonderful dogs outside. Clean bathrooms, clean countertops and tables. Short wait for the cold brew me and my boyfriend got and brew was well balanced not too acidic. I loved the avocado toast it had a nice salt and sumac flavor added atop the tomato which gave it a tanginess. The bread was perfectly fluffy and roasted just right and boyfriend said his croissant was awesome and fresh.

    Best baked goods this side of the Toro Exit. Free parking, close to REI, Trader Joe's, and the coffee smells fresh enough that I think they roast it. Coffee's good... whatever it is. Service? Not so much. Pretty sure I walked in between shifts because they straight-up forgot my order. Inside layout is confusing, like a café designed by someone who's only heard rumors about chairs. Outside seating is great though -- very SoCal. Fresh cannolis? Drum roll... absolutely not- at least not during this visit. If they had them, this would be a 5‑star review. I'm writing a letter to my ma about this injustice. I can't wait to come back and try more goodies.

    I didn't eat anything but the place is so bright and clean and employees ready to help. What a great selection of baked goods and desserts. Yum! Many people outside at patio eating lunch like sandwiches and chips and coffees. Will definitely come back to get some treats for myself and my office.

    I like this little bakery. The prices do seem to be a little steep. So it's a treat usually. I've had their salad, salads, and a few of their baked goods. I really enjoyed their seasonal cookies during Christmas, since they have peppermint. So it's a hit or miss on when I come. But it is nice. They have seasonal items that you can try. Definitely worth a try. SYOY

    This café in Laguna Hills is such a gem. I love places that let you enjoy breakfast and lunch at the same time, and this spot does exactly that. I ordered their Knock Knock flight, which is a coffee flight paired with their Knock Knock chocolate treats. You get four coffees and four chocolates to try, and everything was rich, smooth, and so fun to taste side by side. It's perfect if you like variety or want to sample a little bit of everything. For food, I had the breakfast sausage burrito and their burger, and both were delicious. The burrito was hearty and flavorful, and the burger was satisfying and well made. Being able to order breakfast and lunch together is a huge plus. Of course, I had to try dessert too. I ordered the mini chocolate cake, almond croissant, and cinnamon roll, and every single item was fresh and indulgent. You can really tell care goes into their baking. The café itself was filled with locals, which always says a lot. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and everything from the drinks to the food was consistently good. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    The best English muffin!
    Natalie L.

    How have I not reviewed Scratch Bakery before? I come once a week to get my English muffin because they are then best in the area. They also freeze well. The only other place that has better English muffin is in the Bay Area. Scratch also serves breakfast, and they close at 5pm. There have nice comfortable outdoor seatings. Service is always attentive and the most challenging part is deciding what to get! Ask for advice if you needed. Sourdough bread is my second favorite here, with the bread pudding following closely.

    Janine D.

    Always great food and coffee here! I had the bacon and egg sandwich on their delicious English muffin today. They bake all bread and cookies items here ...fresh daily. It's all amazing!! Many choices of delicious desserts and treats in the cases. This is counter service ordering and then your made to order meal is delivered to your table. There are plenty of tables on the outside patio to enjoy your coffee and/or meal in the beautiful Southern California sunshine

    Tomato Soup - yum
    JD G.

    This is such a cool place to stop in for lunch or some great baked goods. Been here several times, just never reviewed. Mom and I had lunch here today a delicious Club - so fresh on sourdough what's not to love, with chips - you can choose between chips, potato salad or a green salad - we each had a bowl soup, tomato basil soup and Mom had Chicken Tortilla Soup. Service is good and the staff knows the menu which is really helpful. Plenty of nice outdoor seating, on warm day it's super nice to sit outside and enjoy your food. And you can't go wrong with any of the pastries or baked goods.

    Our team often orders from Scratch Bakery on doordash and everything has been consistent, accurate, and tasty! We love how our orders are always neatly labeled. When ordering 10 or more lunches, it's difficult to have to cross reference items to the receipt so the labeling is appreciated! I've tried the Cobb salad and Caesar salad. Enjoyed both, great portion sizes! The team has ordered other salads and sandwiches, no complaints!

    Coconut macaroons

    I came across this cafe while running errands in Laguna Hills. The cafe had a large outdoor patio with lots of seating, but no seating indoors. The staff were all smiling and friendly. The breads and pastries looked great, and they had several breakfast and lunch options on the menu. Prices seemed fair. For breakfast, my daughter had a cinnamon roll and hot chocolate, and she said they were "amazing!" I enjoyed the avocado toast with egg... the seasoned salt added a great taste. We took home some macaroons... SO GOOD! We'll definitely be back to try some more of their food.

It's just because I don't know what it means to practice financial discernment when it comes to fresh bread. And welllllll, look at who's back at Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe again...... I used to come here way more often back when I had recurring appointments in the area, but these days I rarely ever find myself in South OC. Tonight, however, I had a last minute opportunity fall into my lap when I was invited off the wait list to attend a Yelp Elite event at Onyx Golf. Naturally, I had to make an "unnecessary" bakery detour before moseying my way over to the actual main event. Listen -- you have your priorities and I have mine. We listen and we don't (critically) judge! Upon arriving to my old stomping grounds, I immediately went for my usual: the hojicha Basque cheesecake. Some things don't need to be reinvented. It's still rich and creamy as ever, and it's basically the reason I still come back to this place. Since I don't get down here as often anymore, I figured I'd live life a little more frivolously and grab some items I haven't tried before, such as their prime beef curry, kurobuta miso sausage, honey toast, and a GF brownie. My plan for a sweet treat quickly evolved into a larger commitment of carbohydrates, but honestly, I'd like to think of these items as a gift from past me to future me. Brio Brio is also running a promo right now where you get a free cookie with purchase during certain hours. I just want to be fully transparent that I don't remember what those hours are or how long the promo is running, just that it's a weekday ordeal. I know, incredibly insufferable Yelp Elite reporting on my part. You'll simply just have to go in and ask them about it or look for the signage near the register, and then purchase that item you need to qualify for the deal to begin with. Consider my review a very detailed advertisement about a potentially complimentary cookie that idk how to explain the sourcing means for. Lmao, my bad, y'all. Either way, it was refreshing to visit again after all these years. If you're stopping by Brio Brio, you really need to get the hojicha Basque cheesecake. That's singlehandedly the menu item I'll keep coming back for, even when it means I'll be suffering in rush hour traffic on the drive back home.

Not overly sweet, not soggy or swimming in espresso...just incredibly fresh. It's one of the best I've had in a long time. Their cakes definitely set the bar high.
