    Knock Knock Flight
    Caitlin V.

    I came here for their Knock Knock Flight. If you're an espresso/cold brew fan, this is for you. However, I'm an iced latte girly and these drinks were way too strong for me. The Knock Knock is an upscale version of a Ding Dong. They were good, but too sweet for me. My kids loved it though! And their chocolate chip cookie was outstanding. My husband even made a comment on how good it was.

    Cup of lentil soup
    Tina L.

    Tried their lentil soup (cup version) - this was good and hearty. Baguette pieces were a bit stale but dipped with the soup, it was fine. There was good seating. Several tables inside and outside. I did not expect the soup to come with several baguette pieces so that was nice. I was eyeing the spinach artichoke pastry and other pastries in the pastry display case. Super convenient that this bakery is located in Fashion Island. Will be coming back for their pastries.

    While shopping at @Fashion Island! , stopped by a bakery cafe called @Scratch Bakery Cafe , oh I over ordered! It's okay because I was in a comfortable space that welcomed me with great drinks, baked goods, breakfast, sandos and salads. If you want a guaranteed casual delicious spot to eat, get a latte or grab a snack, SCRATCH needs to be on your list. It's right between Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. That Salmon Salad was perfection, loved the flavors of the salad and salmon fillet paired so well. Get any their breakfast sandwich on the Manna Bun because that fluffy bun is sooo delicious. Their sandwiches in any form has proven to be incredible from their Spicy Chicken on a French Roll or a Ruben on Marbel, it's yummy! Get their French Fries too because it's coated and extra crispy. It's a great spot for Mother's Day! Tyler the manager and his team are simply pro! Great service and attentive!

    Been wanting to eat here and wow, it exceeded my expectations. I came here specifically for the Knock knock flight and it was so yummy. I think the coffee was a bit strong for me though so I wouldn't get it again. But the presentation and the fact that it comes with knock knocks is something different than any other flight i've had. I really want to go back to try their regular breakfast items and try more pastries. There was so much I wanted to try but didn't want to over indulge.

    Vegan Burrito
    Israel M.

    If you happen to be at Fashion Island and are looking for a hearty vegan breakfast option, Scratch Kitchen offers a surprisingly solid vegan burrito, though you'll need to make a few modifications since the burrito isn't actually vegan as ordered. The vegan burrito includes hash browns, onions, spinach, and vegan breakfast sausage, creating a filling breakfast that manages to satisfy without feeling overly heavy. The verde salsa ties everything together nicely, adding brightness and moisture that helps fuse the ingredients into a cohesive burrito with all the key elements you'd want in a good breakfast wrap. What really would've taken the burrito to the next level is the addition of a vegan egg option like Just Egg. That extra layer would've made the burrito exceptional rather than simply very good. Still, even without it, the burrito was flavorful, hearty, and satisfying enough that I'd order it again. One thoughtful touch is that the burrito is served cut in half, which works well if you're dining in. However, if you plan to customize it further or add your own ingredients, it's probably best to request that it not be cut in half beforehand.

    Not usually out this far in OC on a weekday, but since I was, I definitely needed to stop by and grab a snack. While I was debating between knock knocks, I saw a sign for the knock knock flight!!! Sold. First, I need to say that Sam was a gem. I cannot do coconut and after much assistance, I was able to get a second regular instead. I cannot say how much I enjoyed the sampler; each small knock knock came with a coffee pairing that I thought was pretty spot on. Knock Knocks: Classic - the institute was pretty solid when I had it, so I was a tad bit disappointed because I was hoping it would be soft like a hostess cake. However, I took the second one home and when I ate it later, it was the exact same consistency I wanted!! Bananas Foster - I was a little worried, because the flavour profile would be delicious, but so much could go wrong with the fresh banana and banana bread. However, the cake was moist and the bananas were not overwhelming; instead of slices of fresh banana, it was bits and spread in a nice layer. Dubai - thought I would really like this, but it was too rich for me. I mean, I still enjoyed it, but I could only have a corner cause it was so rich. Each coffee was unsweetened and were a good match for each sweet treat. I would probs swap the cold brew from Dubai to the coconut one and the macchiato to the Dubai bite. And have I mentioned Sam? The staff is always great, but Sam really went above and beyond for me.

    Scratch Bakery and Cafe is absolutely delicious. Any time I am at Fashion Island I must stop by for their oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! They also have great drinks, food, and customer service. I love that they have indoor and patio seating and a great view of the fountain which often provides a relaxing atmosphere. I tried the avocado salad for the first time and was very impressed. The chicken was so soft and tender and the lemon vinaigrette paired with the flavors perfectly. They have so many great pastries, I highly recommend giving them a try.

    Not going to lie this desert hit the spot! We got the banana foster knock knock, it was surprisingly sooooo yummy. Reminded me of a chocopie but elevated, IYKYK

    I came in with no expectations and left genuinely impressed. Moulin is usually my go-to café, but lately the quality hasn't been the same, so this visit was a refreshing surprise. At first glance, the place looks unassuming, but it's easy to see why there's a line during weekend brunch hours. Everything is made from scratch, and the difference is obvious in every bite. The pastries are so good. My favorites are the rye pastrami sandwich, pistachio croissant, and churro cruffin. Even after sitting in my car on the drive home, everything stayed impressively crisp. They also offer a coffee flight called the "Knock Knock," which is a fun and unique experience that satisfies both your caffeine and sugar cravings.

    This bakery/cafe is located at Fashion Island. After finishing a nearby appointment, I came here for an early lunch on a weekday. It's a fast casual cafe where you order at the counter. The bakery items all looked wonderful but I was after one of their sandwiches and chose a breakfast sandwich plate - the Monte Cristo. I also purchased a large hot vanilla latte. There are only 6 or 7 tables inside, far too few. There are a number of outdoor tables but on this cold and windy day the indoor tables were all taken. I had been given a number for my order delivery to be placed on my table. As I worriedly eyed the prospect of having to sit outside, a small table inside became vacant and I quickly pounced on it. While they deliver your food to your table, they call your name to pick up your drinks. When they called my name to pick up my latte at the counter, I sprinted there and back before someone else took my table. The latte was served far too hot. I couldn't drink it during my meal so carried it with me after I finished eating. It took about half an hour before I could even sip it. It was a standard but solid vanilla latte, nothing out of the ordinary. As far as my meal, the Monte Cristo wasn't a TRUE monte cristo. Honestly, I think the only place to find a real deep fried one around here is at Disneyland. But this faux Monte Cristo had the proper components - a French toast sandwich with melted cheese, turkey, and ham. They had syrup for dipping rather than the traditional berry jam. It was admittedly very delicious. The hash brown on the plate was exceptional - perfectly crisp outside with soft potato inside. You'd think that, surrounded by wonderful bakery items, the employees would seem happy but no, not a single smile. Maybe they all burned their tongues on the coffee.

    Assortment of cookies to check out!
    Elizabeth H.

    Came here for a quick dessert and the Knock Knock cake was very good. Chocolatey with ganache on the outside and creamy with buttercream on the inside. Perfect combo! The bakery cafe is full of delicious-looking cookies and breads. Would definitely come back for another visit when craving for some sweets.

So just leaving this here to let everyone know the spinach wrap is not celiac safe/gluten free.

For the drinks, we got an iced toffee latte and the kepania, which is their version of a spanish latte. I liked the toffee latte more cause it had bits of toffee in it but I also liked the spanish latte as it tasted lighter than the toffee latte. It gave the drinks more of a balance when I started taking sips from both of them. I do really like how the top layer of the lattes were blue, which gives off a great aesthetic. The only downside for me was that the toffee latte lost a good amount of its flavor after some of the ice melted-- some cafes still have a strong coffee taste even after the ice melts & that's usually what I like as far as preference. As for the sunbliss blend smoothie, it definitely had that taste of the 100% real fruit in it and was a refreshing drink to sip on when I walked at the beach. It's a plus for this cafe for having plenty of options between drinks and bites!
