I found this place to reunite with dear friends. from PA. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon arrival, you walk up to like a window front that looks like used to be a home. There is seating in the front porch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since the weather has been little chilly we decided to go in beside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you enter the door you arrive at the order counter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's quaint with the menu on the wall and a display of their baked goods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We placed our order, were given a number then you find a table where they will bring your food. The staff were friendly and working to clean the place regularly. I went with a lunch combo and I loved the roast beef sandwich. Though I wish there was more beef. The soup was warm and sweet and savory, perfect for fall weather. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food! I also ordered a hot vanilla latte with soy milk after. The espresso is balanced and not bitter. Approved! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to have good conversation, food and time with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely coming back to try their baked goods next time! read more

I can't even with this place!! Just when I thought I ate the best sandwich ever, Jason goes and makes another! Today was the "Great grilled cheese experiment- provolone, American, sourdough, w/ various accompaniments that may or may not be life changing. The flavors swirled around my taste buds, teasingly and temptingly, and with every bite, the earth moved just a little! This isn't mama's Grilled cheese. Yes, it's got that down-home feel but, with a big ole' bang of artisanal excellence that just can't be put into words. Your mouth will be full for the next 20 min. anyway (if it even lasts that long!) SOOOOOO with all that said, basically it's really yummy. read more

Stopped in on a Friday morning shortly after opening time and the staff greeted me immediately. Despite being short-staffed, my food was brought out in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the "Main Street morning" bowl and a blueberry muffin. The bowl was perfect. The hashbrowns on the bottom were crispy, the bacon was crunchy, and the cheese was melty. The blueberry muffin was perfectly moist and not too sweet. It tasted super fresh. They have a complimentary water station and a clean unisex bathroom. There are plenty of seating options both inside and outside. They work on a bus your own table system. I'll definitely be back. read more

Just come here... Martha Stewart loved it so you should too. Seriously get over here. Breakfast homemade bread everything is scratch just as the name implies. I try to get over here when I can today. We are at the fair so we had to come in for a quick visit. read more

I haven't had a bad thing here! All the sandwiches, drinks, desserts, overall vibes are just amazing. I've sat outside on the patio alone, ate inside with my family and both are amazing experiences. Love the small town feel of the whole area and the kindness of the employees here. Food doesn't take long to come out after ordering and they always had something new to try every time I came which was a treat. Would definitely drive the 35 minutes here weekly if money wasn't an option lol. read more

This was my first time actually coming to Scratch Bakes as I've always passed it and saw it was a popular spot. Today we decided to go in and it was around 11:45am on a Saturday so I'm surprised it wasn't busier. When you walk in the menu is to the left on the chalkboard on the wall and the specials are on the right. They have a solid selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches/wraps that can be grilled or toasted and some soups. They also have salads and combo meals. They also sell lovely little cupcakes that they display in the front in the glass and often they have themed cupcakes (you can also preorder your food or bakery orders if you want cupcakes). I've had their cupcakes before and am a fan of them, so I recommend them for that if you need a batch or just want a sweet treat while on Main Street. Atmosphere: There's a decent amount of seating and there and they even have lounge type seating. There is a part where they have a little island of where you can put sugar/creamer and get napkins or free water next to it. There is also outdoor seating covered under a hanging roof. Food: Because we came at like 11:45am, I wasn't looking to get a cupcake but some actual lunch food. I ordered a bowl size of soup (there is also a cup size) and then my boyfriend ordered the Early Riser which is just a ham, egg and cheese toasted sandwich. When we got our food, it was delicious and I ate it pretty quickly. Highly recommend that broccoli cheddar soup, I ate it even when it was scorching on my tongue because I loved it that much. My boyfriend also said that his sandwich was good and he would order it again. We also got a free bagel & cream cheese...keep reading to find out why. Service: We got there at 11:45am and didn't get our food until about 12:15pm. We saw other people getting their food who had ordered after us and we were wondering for 15 mins what was taking them so long to just get soup and a sandwich out considering we saw everyone else got like multiple meals come out. We saw they were pretty backed up due to call in orders and then kindly asked a waitress who ended up bringing us a bagel and cream cheese instead of my soup at first. We tried to give it back but they told us to just keep it since it already made it to our table so we just kept it and ate it. It was really good actually too! That is why I knocked off 1 star. Overall I do recommend this place. I will be back again to order something else most likely read more

They DO NOT admit to mistakes! Don't be fooled with fancy words and double talk. The kindness is extremely fake

I ordered breakfast catering for work from scratch bakes. We got the breakfast sandwiches and French toast casserole. Only complaint was that they didn't offer some catering items for less than 20 people. That being said, we had A LOT of French toast casserole and were not sad about it. It was super flavorful and delicious. The sandwiches were also a perfect portion and super filling. Even though we were not "close" in distance, they still offered delivery for a fee and were very timely. I worked with Laura and she was super helpful and easy to talk to and work with for my order. read more

Food was delicious! I got the caprese breakfast burrito, pesto tortellini and a cup of tomato pepper jack soup. It came out fast, especially since I came in with a group of friends (seven of us ordered). Service was great! I would definitely go back and try more on their menu because there was so much to choose from and sounded really good. My friends loved the food too! read more

Scratch Bakes - Tomato pepper jack soup, tortellini pesto, Caprese Special - Desserts Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

I would love to give five stars but I cannot. The food is great, always so yummy and the egg with honest mustard sauce sandwhich is my all time favorite! The lunch savory apple is delicious and I love the hash browns and the cupcakes! BUT I'm a huge iced chai latte fan and get one every single day almost and I live a block away. These are not good here. You have a good base but it's 95% ice. It melts and is so watered done. I have brought it back to be remade twice and get the same all ice drink back. Once I took the ice out the second I got the drink and was three small sips worth. So I have not even gotten a drink there since and will not unless they make there drinks better. It should not be giant ice cubes, smaller ones. Drinks are not it. Food is great!! I would come much much more if the chai was good I go about once every few months for the food since I can't get a drink here that's even worth it. read more

I have eaten here numerous times and every time they have been on point with their food and service. I usually get a salad and everyone of those I would get again. Their baked good are also great, we just got a birthday cake from them and it was very moist and tasty. I also like the ambiance here, in a historic building with lots of windows overlooking the "square" of Ephrata. Give them a try, I'm confident you will have a great experience. read more

My family went there twice recently for breakfast recently. Their breakfast sandwiches were very good, served quickly, and with a smile. I had the the Main Street Morning burrito and it was quite good. Their sauces that are on their sandwiches are very good. The cafe is well decorated, very bright as the whole front is glass. It was also very nice to be able to sit down and eat in. They showed a very wide variety of cupcakes but sadly, we were too full from breakfast. read more
