The place was warm and quaint, the food was ok. The quiche was nice and favorable,but the crust was too doughy. The service was average, and impersonal. No greeting or offering of thanks when leaving. It was our first time, and it didn't feel very inviting. Took about 15 minutes to get our order, but a woman that came in after us received her immediately. Will not return, but wish them success. read more

The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly. Very eclectic setting. Cute place to visit. Seems like a great place to get a cup of coffee and a pastry, sit down to read a book, catch up on some work, or have a conversation with an old acquaintance. The Monte Cristo and Ham & Brie sandwiches were fantastic! read more

Delicious pastries made fresh. Cute garden to relax and sip coffee and tea. Plenty of parking next to the bakery. Try their bacon quiche

Only drawback is small size of indoor dining room. The breakfast and brunch menus are delicious and creative. The pastries, my fav are the lemon bars, are to die for. Lovely to sit out front when weather permits. read more

Friendly service. Ham and Brie sandwich was awesome: Bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Ham and cheese tasted great and were in good proportion to each other. The fruit​ was fresh. Pecan bar was satisfying. read more

Absolutely love the Monte Cristo sandwich. Wife and I tried last week for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We had a perfect lunch. Tomato soup was also delicious. read more

Wonderful food but awkward seating. We had to sit outside on an unsteady table that caused our drinks to spill. Will call ahead and order pickup for our next outing read more

Lovely setting. Friendly staff. Amazing brunch. The Croque Madame was terrific. Lemon Square has a nice lemon punch to it; not too sweet. Will most definitely be back. read more

Very tasty Monte Cristo on their fresh bread and yummy raspberry dipping sauce; fresh, pretty fruit, good coffee & salad. Good-sized servings. Was a little disappointed not to be offered mini cupcake with meal, but did enjoy the half brownie with walnuts. Outdoor seating was great that day. Possibly one suggestion - when ordering, another diner asked for a knife to cut their sandwich. We also went back and requested a knife - just give the plastic knife, along with other utensils. Hope to explore more of the menu! read more

The sandwiches are fresh and tasty. The Brie and ham is awesome! Check it out. I love that it comes with desert.

Hats off to the kind owner/baker who let me try one of their popular vanilla cupcakes (since my fav chocolate was out). The place itself is real cute & clean-great spot-great menu. Just the smell when you enter, lets you know how good the food is. Good stuff try it. And I'm kinda picky, so you really should try it lol. read more

Stopped in after I saw reviews for nearby bakeries. Staff is super attentive and friendly. The coffee and kids drinks were great. We loved it! The reason why I am leaving the 4 star is because of the available seating. There is not really anywhere to sit, the tables have really wide gaps not suitable for cups or utensils. I guess it was because there were 3 of us to a two seater table. The cinnamon roll was very dry and lacked flavor. It looked pleasing in the case but was not what I was expecting at all. Couldn't even taste the icing if there was supposed to be any at all. BUT the coffee was great. Would definitely be back for the coffee. After trying the pastry I don't think I'd actually be interesting in the food. read more

Amazing food. Had the cinnamon roll bread pudding with eggs and bacon. Delicious!! Eggs were perfect. The two ladies working are very friendly. Hope to be back! read more

Such a cute quaint spot right in the historic Monte Vista District. If your looking for a small cozy place to have breakfast or lunch this is the place to be. It's inside an old Victorian house, very vintage atmosphere. Even has a small bakery. Best part is Its BYOB. read more

Scratch Kitchen is homey and unpretentious. It reminded me of going to breakfast at a friend's home both in the level of attentiveness by the owners and the love that they appeared to put into their food. Stepping foot into their establishment, I was immediately hit by the smell of fresh baked pastries and breakfast treats. We went for brunch, though this is easily a good place for carry out sandwiches, baked goods, or small quiches. Their quiches are sold in other coffee shops in San Antonio (like white elephant) and are easily my favorite thing here. Otherwise, their brunch selection is small, but well executed. There is a patio out front or a small amount of indoor seating, but it generally appears to be a hit among locals for grab and go food. Definitely worth a try! read more

The reason for the one star isn't because of the food but rather the lack of worry that the place is surrounded in flys. And their desert case is open for the flys to just sit and leave disgusting bacteria all over the food. Same as in the kitchen, as I watch my food being made there are flys on the man making my food and flys on the equipment my food is being made on. GROSS!!! When I mentioned it to the young man behind the counter taking my order his response as he chuckled was "well it's fly season so" well for one you could have a covering on your bakery case and some kind of fly traps by the door or whatever is allowed for restaurant code. Not to mention the young man is talking about the flys and me mentioning it the entire time he's in the back. The young man also told his coworker that his new response is now going to be " I just work here"! I'm sorry but if you don't take pride in your place of employment maybe you should do something else with your life. Maybe you don't care that your food is covered in fly POOP but other do care. At least if your gonna talk about a customer wait till they leave, this place isn't that big, so yes we heard ever comment out of your smart mouth. So people think twice and check the surroundings before coming into this establishment. read more

Basing this on our first visit here. WHAT A CUTE LIL PLACE! The ambiance here is relaxing and peaceful. Very homey. Staff were busy but very kind. It's not the fastest place to get a meal. Seems like it would be best not to be in a hurry but for the taste, I suppose worth it. The desserts are flavorful. Gotta give the blueberry muffin a big thumbs up for packing the fruit in and keeping it REAL. The flourless chocolate cupcake was the bomb. It had a splash of color with a juicy sweet raspberry that did the job. In fact, if they wanted to throw more raspberries on top that would be good too. The meal was very nice and well presented even in a to go box for it. They have complimentary fruit infused water. It's a cute little place to beat the heat and enjoy a meal or pastry with friends. Or order to go and just probably have a whole party catered. Not sure if they do that but they could. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the wait at lunch time during the week. But if you have some just little extra time, I'd say 'Nailed It' but not crazy like the show as these cooks know what they're doing. read more

Cute place but disappointed in the food and coffee. I got the egg, bacon and avocado sandwich and a latte. Everything was lacking flavor and the latte was lukewarm. The avocado they gave us was turning brown. read more

Cute coffee shop in an old home. A bit hard to find. Plenty of parking in a lot behind the house. Friendly staff. Good strong coffee. Had a quiche. Tasty. Interesting bacon flavor. Almost like the fried pork rind snack. Pastry crust a bit thick for my taste. Fun flower painted wall. Get your selfie here. read more

Scratch Kitchen pleasantly surprised me by having the best bread pudding I've eaten. Sweet and savory, the cinnamon roll bread pudding went deliciously well with the over-medium eggs and crispy bacon. With the beautiful atmosphere and aesthetic surrounding the restaurant you really can't go wrong brunching or simply dining here. read more

we tried to have brunch at nola but the line was long and it was freezing, so we drove by this tiny little house (they could probably eat 6 people total inside) and luckily it was empty. what is it about san antonio? food took a solid 30 min to come out. i noticed that it was just one dude in the back cooking everything (from scratch) with a little griddle, but there were other staff members too? they were all really nice though and i liked the display of goodies and selection of the brunch menu. either way, the biscuits and gravy were yummy; did not enjoy my bacon avocado sandwich too much though. The sausage empanada was yummy too; since that was premade, all they did was pop it in the oven and it came out to the table pretty quickly. the bathroom was very cute and spacious and has a changing table inside. not a bad place for brunch if there's room for you, but if you are in a hurry you're better off at a chain. read more

Amazing atmosphere great for brunch great for a date very intimate bring food and customer service

I went to a Yelp Event here and this is my review for that, because for some reason my app wouldn't let me check in nor post a review directly. This is a cute little cafe type restaurant with more outdoor seating than in. The owners said it used to be a hair salon, which is pretty cool. The owner was so sweet and answered everyone's questions, but her baby stole the show. Totally adorable. Anyway, on to the food, they have a wonderful Mediterranean Quinoa salad that is so well balanced, I could easily eat like 3 servings of it. It's light and refreshing, but packed full of nutrients. It's a delicious vegetarian option. In addition to that, I got to try a mushroom empanada. Yes please! Savory and salty filling packed into a flaky outer crust, yum! I sampled the lemon tart and it's my new favorite thing, I've always been a fan of lemon desserts and this one is so good. They also have a delightfully rich flourless chocolate cake for anyone with gluten intolerance. I absolutely will be back! This place isn't close to where I live, but it'll be worth the drive and trying to find parking. read more

I give it 5 stars. Friendly people and not too expensive and delicious food! Definitely a gem. Ya'll should check them out.

Went for brunch.had chicken salad sandwich and was good.can tell is prepare with fresh ingredients. My son had quiche which was very good as well read more

Such a cute place. They have wonderful gourmet sandwiches that come with fruit and salad for under 10 bucks.

I came in because of all the good reviews. I really wanted to like it! When you come in it's very small, I was confused on how to order then I saw the menus, and that you had to order them sit and eat. The customer service was awful, the guy taking the orders looked like he was just not in the mood. There's cups for water but it's hot you have to ask for ice. We went to sit down and the table was not cleaned from the previous party. We sat at a dirty table the whole time. The food was not very good in my opinion and definitely not cheap. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Super quaint, super cute and incredibly delicious. I had their bacon & egg sandwich and was impressed with every bit of it. Their desserts were eye catching and they make my absolute favorite cookies. Definitely recommend. Great music too! read more

Went there today for lunch. The staff was great the sandwiches are very good and the desserts are awesome. Recommend this place.

The counter staff was ready to answer questions and provide recommendations. I had the Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl with Cauliflower. It was excellent! I also had a sweet pastry that I upgraded from the mini cupcake that comes with the meal. Perfection! The establishment is small and very quaint. Minimal indoor seating. We would've sat outside but it was raining that day. Minimal parking so we had to park a block down the street. Perfect for quick meal with a friend. Will definitely go back despite the minimal seating and parking. The friendly staff and fresh food are worth it! read more

Amazing food! Great atmosphere. Definitely a must visit for supporting small businesses.

We had a fantastic experience! I ordered the quiche special which was out of this world. The place is small, quaint and charming. The owner is very friendly too. It was my favorite place to eat in SA. read more

Love the quinoa bowl. I've had their sandwiches as well and they are great. I get a quinoa bowl here about once a week on average. One of my favorite places in San Antonio for lunch. Visit this place soon! read more

The food is good but the seating is lackluster, especially during the summer. We went in the middle of the week after the typical lunch rush. They have very few seating options inside so we had to sit outside. It wasn't terrible in the shade but the outdoor furniture is not the sturdiest. The food was very tasty though. I had the grilled pimento cheese sandwich and would go back for this alone. Plus, it's nice you get 2 sides and a dessert with a meal. You won't leave hungry! We will be back but will probably get it to go. read more

Not a good value for your money. I ordered the salmon toast for $6.50 and expected to get two pieces of toast. However...I did not. I was literally one piece of toast with cream cheese, capers, a few green onions and thinly sliced salmon. While it was tasty, I felt like I'd get much more at another establishment. My daughter had the bacon and egg sandwich for $6. It was a much better value for the money. She enjoyed it. Service left something to be desired as well. Water tasted weird. Very small selection. Coffee was good. They said it was from White Elephant. Not very much seating either. read more

Food is delicious, however it takes forever to be prepared, even when ordering ahead. Case in point: I ordered online through their website for takeout. My order was supposed to be ready at 1:37. I arrived at 1:44. They hadn't even started making the order yet. Previous experience with ordering in store, our 2 sandwiches took approximately 40 minutes to be ready. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in Monte Vista. The ham and brie sandwich is delicious, chicken salad is good, but I love their pimento cheese! Luckily they sell their pimento cheese and chicken salad individually to go, perfect for lunch the next day! Their bakery items are delicious. The cookies and lemon bars are also some of the best in town. My only advice is having self-serve tea and water that are refilled frequently. Servers are friendly and great but sometimes there is a wait for the beverages. read more

This place is so charming and quaint! I stumbled upon it in my neighborhood and I was so satisfied with the entire experience! The service is warm and friendly, the ambience is so calming, and the food is divine. I HIGHLY recommend getting their chicken salad sandwich! So yummy! read more
