    Those scones have been invading my dreams! Just before Thanksgiving, my wife and I have a ritual. We jump on the Port Jeff Ferry (Yes, I'm from New York) have breakfast at Cracker Barrel and spend the day in Connecticut. We have a few favorite spots but this year we took a chance on Scratch Baking in Milford. What a find! First off, Milford is a very cute town. To have this wonderful bakery in the middle of it all puts the icing on the cake. (See what I did there?) Walking up, the line is out the door. People are getting their Saturday morning coffee and Thanksgiving baked goods. We get to the counter and I order a box of assorted scones, a Tres Leche Coffee, a bag of home made granola and a cranberry nut rye bread. I was served quickly and we're on our way. Sunday morning, I served the scones. Everyone flipped! So moist and flavorful, they were a homerun hit. Me? I'm thinking ahead. Thanksgiving arrives and everyone comes over. The only thing I'm thinking of is getting all the dishes in the dishwasher and saying goodbye to my guests. Now I'm alone with the Turkey. I toast two pieces of my cranberry nut rye bread. I layer some cranberry, stuffing, turkey and homemade gravy to create my annual Thanksgiving sandwich. This ritual is on repeat for a few days. Scratch Baking? I cannot wait to return.

    Salted caramel latte with oatmilk

    I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the reviews, it's probably something I missed... but there is NO SEATING. This place is strictly a 1. You place an order and pick it up OR 2. You order in person, wait for it, and leave. I wasn't expecting that, I wanted some place to hunker down and work so that's on me. But since I was already there I decided to try one of the lattes, a breakfast sandwich, and the brownie of the week- which I thought was cute! Everything impressive! The breakfast sandwich was filling and delicious. The latte wasn't too sweet, it was very smooth. The brownie admittedly was a little too sweet for me, so it lasted me a while because after a few bites my sweet tooth was satisfied. Everything was fresh and amazing! If I'm in the area again I'll certainly stop by.

    Tasty bagel ordered with butter (barely visible and def not enough to taste.

    After seeing a TikTok video that suggested scratch was really a great place to go, I went again, for the third time. I walked in to one person taking orders with another 10 working in the kitchen, many not supporting customers. There were 11 people waiting for the orders with a few employees fulfilling the orders. I ordered a cappuccino, a bagel with butter (where is the butter) and. Blueberry muffin. It took 11 minutes to get my order. The bagel was delicious, chewy, soft and tasty. The butter was barely visible and certainly not tastable The cappuccino was fine. I paid $14 which was fair The muffin crumbled into 50 pieces which is a product of over mixing and likely over baking. I'd come back for a bagel, not a muffin. The main issue i have with this bakery is that the staff isn't customer focused. They're laughing and having a great time when they should be taking and executing orders. Dunkin isn't the greatest but they do focus on customer service. Restaurant 101. Scratch could do much better It looks like a great place to work but not so great for customers.

    I'm such a fan of this bakery. I've been 4 times since I discovered this place last month. They have some delicious muffins - I'm a fan of the blueberry and mixed berry/zucchini muffins. The zucchini bread is also incredible! They have an array of breads that are great too and I'm grateful that the staff are willing to slice their loaves for customers. I'll certainly be back!

    brownies, dirty box

    0/10, service was horrible, owner was very unprofessional and raising tone towards costumers with attitude, customer service was very bad, food was cold and presentation of food was horrible, box was given dirty

    Breakfast Pizza

    This is by far the best coffee shop in Milford! We tried both hot and iced coffee, as well as, the breakfast pizza and chocolate croissants. Everything was delicious, the service was fantastic and even with a line out the door at 7 am I was in and out in no time.

    Service was effective. They have online order available too! But it was my first time here so I wanted to see the bakery products! The egg and cheese sandwich of the day was delicious!!! Bread is definitely freshly baked!! Rye with seeds, chewy and yummy! Cranberry lemon muffin was so good!!! Not too sweet! Moist and tasty! Monkey bread was one of the best!!! Chocolate muffin was really good too! Love the cute logo and the exterior door! Ambiance inside feels a bit dark, menu on the wall wasn't easy to read. There are seatings outside but nothing inside.

    Super cute place on one of Connecticut oldest and largest greens... super cute town too. Service is quick and freindly and the food is incredible!

    Walked into this quaint bakery with a comforting familiar sweet aroma that hit me delightfully in…read morethe face, the type of smell that a dessert lover will immediately know she had just walked into a bakery that will not disappoint. My sixth sense was correct! From the large cookies, diverse selection, to the very warm and welcoming lady that helped us....this bakery was worth the detour home. My son picked the M&M double chocolate chip cookie. It has the most loaded M&Ms in a cookie I've ever seen. The texture was crunchy around the edges with a soft semi chewy center that also resembled the consistency between a brownie and a cookie. I picked the toffee chocolate chip and the lemon sugar cookie. The toffee CCC had a crunchy exterior (probably from the melted toffee) which elevated the usual chocolate chip cookie. The lemon sugar cookie was soft in texture which I liked. I wouldn't have minded a little more lemon taste but it was still good. If this bakery were near where I live, I'd go every week!

    I will tell people near and far (really anyone that will listen!) about how amazing the oatmeal…read morechocolate chip cookie is. Kathy is so friendly anytime I go into the shop, and if not her, I can always trust that there will be a friendly face and kind individual behind the counter. I've been getting these cookies for as long as I can remember & they truly are so consistent and delicious! Great spot, great people, and amazing treats!
