This is such a cute little cafe. They have a bakery when you walk in with the most freshest pastry's. We had gotten the raspberry cinnamon roll and it was amaaazzzinngggg. We also order the Irish man breakfast and the potatoes and eggs were cooked soo perfectly it literally melted in your mouth. The cashier was such a sweet lady and gave recommendations that had food without pork ! Definitely will be coming back and I recommend for everyone to try this place ! It's so peaceful to sit outside and enjoy the food with the view. Also it is pet friendly so you can bring your furbaby along !!! read more

We happened upon this little neighborhood cafe and bakery one day and what a treat it was, literally....and boy do the have some treats! This is a quaint little converted house turned bakery with top notch sweets and eats! Instead of listing all the things I have tried on my numerous visits it would probably be easier to list the few I haven't! I've tried so many items, I've lost count but will try my best to list a "few"! On my last visit( which was a to-go order) I was lucky enough to get there in time to get their Quiches. We got both the Veggie quiche (which was really an artichoke and Gouda and some other tasty fillings with big beautiful pieces of artichoke all tucked nicely into a fabulous crust (which I could've eaten just plain all by itself) and the Bacon Quiche, cheese and spinach quiche, although I'm not a fan of bacon in food (I know,blasphemous) because I feel it tends to overpower, not enhance the taste. I have to say that both were equally good and I can't say enough about the crust because as you know that's the basis of a great quiche or pie! Did I mention pie? Well, they also have a deep dish apple pie (and I mean probably 5-6 inch high deep dish apple pie) that is also outstanding - that was tried on another visit! My favorite are their muffins, they are the star of the show. I've tried the blueberry crumble raspberry crumble, gluten free chocolate topped with a raspberry...if I didn't just tell you it was gluten free, you wouldn't have known. I used to be gluten free a couple years ago and when I say this muffin is something to jump at the chance to eat, I'm not blowing smoke! It is rich and fudgy like a decadent brownie...oh by the way, they have those too and are another hit! They make two of my favorite cookies as well, a classic peanut butter that actually tastes like peanut butter, (most of the ones I've tried lately are super sweet and lack the taste of the traditional peanut butter cookie) and my 2nd favorite which I don't even know what it's called is this round domed cookie that is drizzled with chocolate but when you bite into it, it's so rich and super crumbly resembling a shortbread of sorts. You can tell it's made with lots of butter and it's just heavenly. Besides all of the sweets I've mentioned, they sell an array of eclectic sandwiches all served on homemade breads, which they also sell in house, plus numerous daily specials! They sell so many fabulous items, you honestly need to stop by and try them out, but do go early as this is a smaller establishment and they do sell out! So run, don't walk to this honest to goodness gem, that I'd love to keep all to myself, but want them to thrive so I can enjoy their offerings for a long time to come! Below is a pic I took for a friend of a blueberry muffin to illustrate how chock full of blueberries it was! read more

This place is AMAZING!! Love the eggs Benedict. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. It's a gem!

This place is amazing and exactly the type of local places I love in San Antonio. They were playing the best jams while I was there for lunch, btw. The people are super nice and helpful. The pecan square is to die for. I love that you get a piece with your lunch. This was very smart because honestly otherwise I probably wouldn't have tried it. Get the pecan square. All of the soups and sandwiches are delicious. Just try anything you won't be disappointed. The restaurant is so coY and charming. I love it. read more

We went here and I had the biscuits and gravy while the biscuits and gravy were on the upper end for me (I try these a lot , haha) the dish and its sides as a whole felt a bit lacking. My friends tried several other of the dishes. They told me were good but didn't really hit the mark for any of us today. The pastries we tried were all really good though and the employees were great. We didn't really like that the water they has for free was cold. read more

This little gem is less than a mile from my house. I love getting a sandwich and side for lunch. The blt sandwich is my favorite. You also get a mini dessert which surprisingly is not my favorite. I've found the bars to be dry, but again it's a added little treat so I don't want to be critical. The ambiance is also quaint and delightful. read more

Cute little spot. Very friendly staff and the biscuits and gravy were great! You can tell everything is freshly made read more

A little disappointing, except for the counter clerk who was friendly. Water was available from a jug, however it was warm (no ice). The A/C could have been cooler (2 of us were sweating), and the ladies who ordered the chicken salad said there was an unusual/funny flavor in the sandwich. (My mozzarella was fine). The building itself could use a little love too. read more

Cuul spot it had been quite some time since I stopped in... Very Pleasantly surprised. They work wonders in a small space. Food was amazing & when we had a minor issue the were quick & Kind in remedying & tried to comp. Us that plate. Instead they surprised us with a dessert. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZN'!!! read more

It wasn't what I expected, it didn't even look open, the menu is limited. There were a few pastries behind the glass, I opted for the quiche which was in a muffin form. It seemed to be more crust than quiche but it was tasty but just not big enough imo. I don't think I need to go back, just not enough options for me. read more

The wait at NOLA was too long so my dad I and stopped for brunch here. I'm glad I read the reviews because when we arrived it didn't look busy but folks kept coming. The kitchen is small but the food was really delicious! I had the croque madame and the egg was cooked just right with a runny but warmed through yolk, the bread was a star - substantial but not stodgy - and the side of spinach, tomatoes, red pepper and onion was full of flavor and a great counterpoint. The potoatoes were well seasoned and cooked. The coffee was basic, but good and the baked goods in the case looked beautiful. My dad has the Irishman's breakfast and he ate all of it and enjoyed it as well. The building has a lot of potential and so does the food. read more

Mini quiche came with fruit AND salad (the dressing was delicious) Biscuit & gravy came with eggs and incredible sautéed veggie mix (excellent) Empanada was also outstanding And a real poppyseed scone.... So very good Well done, guys! read more

I'm all for locally owned cafes and bakery such as this new kid in town with a bakery AND cafe aura. They are open til 2pm with separate breakfast and lunch menus. I went around noon and they already ran out of their chicken tortilla soup. I opted for the quinoa bowl instead, and it came with sliced avocados and warm pita chips. Along with my meal, you get a free mini cupcake or cookie of your choice. The carrot cupcake was good and actually had real carrot shavings. I had a great lunch out in the patio and the staff were very nice and brought me my food. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Mediterranean bowl quinoa, pita chips, grilled chicken, avocado, and olives... with side dishes of red velvet and carrot. - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Scratch Kitchen exudes charm. The lower level of this restored Victorian home has been converted into a delightful little bakery/eatery in the community of Alta Vista. The wooden floors and ceilings throughout provide an unequivocal warmth, in addition to the heavenly aroma of fresh baked goods and smiling staff that greet you as you first step through the door. The colorful painted mural on the back wall adds just a touch of whimsy while the large, decorative moldings throughout, repurposed accents, and soft natural light make this historic home feel cozy and cheerful. All food is thoughtfully prepared daily and everything is homemade, from the assortment of pastries (savory and sweet) beautifully displayed in the bakery case to the freshly baked bread served with all their sandwiches and soups. I ordered the Ham & Brie sandwich which was quite good! Served on their scratch-made bread, it was grilled, lightly buttered and crisped to perfection, layered with creamy Brie and DaBecca smoked maple ham with just a touch of Bonne Maman apricot jam and Dijon mustard. I love that you can select two fresh sides with your meal (salad, fresh fruit, Mediterranean quinoa, or chips) and each meal comes with a mini cupcake, cookie, or a half-portion bar. I opted for the salad and fresh fruit and followed up with the pecan bar. Delicious! The breakfast menu is served until 11:00 weekdays and lunch thereafter. Brunch is served on weekends: Saturday 7:30am-3:00pm and Sundays 8am - 2pm. Soups change daily and you can get a half-portion sandwich and soup for roughly the same price as the other lunch plates. The soup today was a Creamy Rosemary Mushroom--smooth and velvety with just enough fresh rosemary to add interest, without being overpowering. The combined flavors were outstanding! Overall, the food, ambiance, and service were all wonderful. I'm looking forward to our next visit and sampling more of the menu and that decadent flourless chocolate cake! read more

Flys Flys Flys on ALL the bakery items. Cooks no gloves or hair nets, very smoky inside when their cooking, outside needs upkeep. Food was ok, they need alot of work Customer service is better at chick fi la read more

2 stars for the food and 3 for the dessert. I had the chicken salad sandwich with a quinoa salad as their lunch special with a half of a chocolate brownie. It was a generous portion but lacking flavor. The chicken salad was quite pickle-y but other than that didn't have much flavor. The bread it was on was good. The quinoa salad was about 2 cups of quinoa with 8 cherry tomatoes, 2 chunks if cucumber, and maybe 4 olive halves. While the quinoa was cooked very well it didn't taste like it had any sort of dressing or seasoning on it. The chocolate brownie was fine but nothing exceptional. We've been here before and had much better desserts experiences. read more

I enjoyed my breakfast at Scratch Kitchen. Their pigs in a blanket are really good, the bread tastes buttery. The Bread pudding has a cinnamon roll taste, which is amazing for me! Their breakfast sandwich is filling, I just didn't like the bread too much, it overpowered everything in the sandwich, tasted too bland. I also found that there were too many flies inside and outside the restaurant, I had to eat super mega quick because I was worried a fly was going to land on my food. read more

Cute for light lunch / brunch. Small family run. This is not Corner Bakery or Panera!! Lovely to sit outside under the old Oaks ! Have the chicken salad sandwich or quiche. They need fans or a/c inside. And some ice for old drinks. I enjoyed - will return to hang out with my dog next time read more

Stopped by for a late breakfast after doctor appointment in the area. Excellent choice. I had the Irishman's breakfast and it was delicious. Fresh tasty meal. I will definitely be back! read more

The Service was not that great. The food was poorly assembled and it had no flavor. I will not go back.

Pimento cheese with tomatoes sandwich was delicious! Lemon bar also fantastic. Service was great; we were only ones there at first

Nice man at the counter taking orders and managing the place today. Too rustic for my taste. Not really a kitchen more like a hot plate. They really need to remodel this place. Great potential but not a place to eat in at. read more

Yummy lunch spot! I went with a friend and we both got delicious sandwiches, 2 sides, and a dessert. And big perk that it has its own parking area. Highly recommend for a delicious lunch spot! read more

After checking out the Farmer's Market at the Pearl, we were feeling hungry so the hunt was on for something close by. My daughter found this, only a few minutes drive away. Now, we love "hole in the wall" eating places. They are overwhelmingly great places to eat. Scratch Kitchen was no exception. From the moment we walked in, the lady behind the counter greeted us with an enthusiastic welcome. Once she learned this was our first visit, she got even more excited to tell us about their menu selection. We made our orders, then waited outside. Our food arrived within 10 minutes. I had the biscuits and brown gravy, with eggs over medium and some sauteed veggies. It was delicious! the eggs were just runny enough to provide some sop with the biscuits. My wife had the croques madam, eggs and veggies. She had never had that, before, but also said it was delicious. Scratch Kitchen is far enough away from where we live (Northwest San Antonio) that it's unlikely we'll ever purposefully come back to eat. However, if we're in the neighborhood, it will definitely be on our short list to have brunch! read more

Amazingly awesome and not carb friendly at all if you are on the keto diet!! The food here is so delicious, especially the desserts so you're not going to want to be on a diet of any sort when planning to go here. The lunch is perfect and comes with so much food!m for so cheap!! I got the blt with a salad and the Mediterranean quinoa. The salad is more like lettuce with dressing on it so it mixed perfectly with the cucumbers and cheese that was mixed in the quinoa. The bacon was cooked to perfection (my perfect is super crispy) and the avocado was the best addition to complete this sandwich. Apparently I have to go back for the mozzarella sandwich because I was told that is their most popular! The pecan bar was the most delicious dessert I've ever had and their drip coffee was so good I drank it black!! Super excited for my next visit here :) read more

What an amazing and quaint place. Great sandwiches. Folks are so nice and friendly. We are definitely going back for more.

Fresh baked goods and delicious sandwiches with a casual dining patio. The service is friendly and everything on the menu and in the pastry cabinet is a safe choice. Order what interests you and enjoy a nice meal outside. Scratch kitchen does not disappoint. Since everything is made to order, there is generally a 15-20 minute wait for food items ordered from the menu to come out so if you're peckish, get a pastry from the cabinet to tide you and your friends over. read more

Scratch Kitchen - Ham and Brie Brunch - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Cute and quiet little place with a fair amount of pastries to choose from! We were visiting from out of town and saw the reviews and thought we'd give it a try. We ordered the Irish breakfast and the fruit was fresh and tasty (I got fruit as a side in lieu of the bread to make it gluten free). The eggs were cooked perfectly. Our son loved the warmed up cinnamon roll. They had two gluten free pastries to choose from. I got the flourless chocolate muffin. Yum! Good coffee. Good atmosphere. read more

Had the flour-less chocolate cupcake, and the raspberry cream cheese danish to start off our AMAZING brunch. We followed that up with a pair of bacon and egg sandwiches. To drink we had the white elephant coffee. The pastries were amazing, we even picked up some cookies to go. The sandwiches were on fresh bread and were very flavorful. Good service and very cool environment. Relaxing and homey. read more

I really love Scratch Kitchen. The quiche is one of my favorites of all time. The ham and Brie sandwich at lunch is terrific. Four stars (instead of 5) for two reasons. They're busy and if you're trying to get in and out for a to go order it can hard if there are people in front of you. There's not a way to grab your food and go. Also, the quinoa seems slightly different than it used to be. It is still good, but it was truly something special previously. Love this place and the people I'm supporting with my business. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Scratch Kitchen. However, I was a little disappointed because I thought I was going to get breakfast. We did arrive around 11:00ish. (My friends were slow picking me up). By that time they were serving lunch. I had the half BLT and the soup of the day (Creamy Mushroom). I must admit...they are serious about the Bacon on the BLT. You definitely do not get shorted there. Also, the Creamy Mushroom soup was heavy on the mushrooms...also a love of mine. In addition, your meal comes with a dessert. All things said I enjoyed my lunch. Next time I am going to make it on time for breakfast. read more

I love Scratch Kitchen. This neighborhood restaurant is very charming. As soon as you step in, you feel like you're visiting a good friend who is cooking up something simple and delightful in their home. I came on a chilly, drizzly day and just wanted some soup. I know Scratch Kitchen has soup, salad and sandwiches, just the perfect cozy day foods. You can find parking alongside the houses nearby. We ordered their soup du jour with the ham and brie sandwich. The soup had very fresh vegetables and the flavor was pretty good. It had a little too many carrots for my tastes but good overall. The sandwich was warm and tasty! I also loved the side of broccoli and fruit. They offer mini cupcakes for FREE with lunch. It is the perfect dessert bite. I thought the food was pretty decent and the atmosphere quaint. My only gripe is really with portion sizes. As you can tell from the photos, everything is very, very tiny. 3 florets of cauliflower is more sample than side to me. I know in TX the portions are often larger than what we can fit inside our stomaches. So, in the back of my mind, I feel like I was swindled somehow. I think it is a perspective thing that needs a lot of time and effort to change. I probably won't be going here if I was very hungry though. I do recommend it if you want a quick bite to eat and a nice atmosphere to relax in. read more

Another delicious neighborhood breakfast and brunch spot in San Antonio. When we need to have an early brunch on Saturday or Sunday, this is our go to spot for delicious, fresh and made from scratch meals. Today we ordered the bacon egg and avocado breakfast sandwich, the croque madame, and the flourless chocolate muffin with raspberry. There were also other fresh pastries on display to order such as cookies, sweet bars, muffins, rolls, kolaches, savory quiches and more! There is a cute outdoor patio space with lots of plants and tables. read more

Quaint and cozy bakery with delicious, fresh brunch options. I had the avocado bacon egg sandwich and it was well presented, filling and tasty. I held back with all my might on the baked goods but those PB sea salt cookies and flourless chocolate cupcakes looked decadent. Ample parking - get ready for a wait because it is small and looks family operated but so worth it , especially with that friendly service! read more

First time going to Scratch. If I could give 6 stars I would. Super friendly staff and amazing service. I called for pick up and my order was ready as soon as I arrived. Needless to say I found my favorite sandwich in town and my favorite FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE. You really get a great deal with your sandwich and 2 sides and a mini dessert which you can upgrade to get the amazing cupcake! Will be back very soon! read more
