Hear from our valued guests
Everything we had was amazing!!! Savory breakfast items were delicious but their baked goods, wow!!! My husband wanted to try the brioche donut which looked boring to me. I was wrong! It was incredible! So soft and airy. Amazing!! The cruffin was super good too, as was my latte. You should definitely check this place out!!! (I didn't see any gluten free stuff though)
Cute bakery in the heart of Milford with a wide range of sweet and savory baked goods. Unsually good bread. They serve coffee too but there's only a small strip of a bar in front and no seats so it's really more of a takeout place. Service was super helpful, friendly, and efficient.
I moved from Milford a few years ago, after frequenting Scratch Baking almost daily, and returned recently for a quick coffee. I had never left a review before now, but felt compelled to after this visit. Scratch Baking is an excellent bakery. Yes, pricey, but within normal for any other coffee shop. Their coffee is consistently high-quality, and their homemade baked goods compete with the best; you can immediately tell you're eating something made there daily. The atmosphere is upbeat and their service is very prompt overall (busy times do get busy - like anywhere). Highly recommended!
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.
First time visiting Scratch Baking, and I knew it was going to be good just by seeing the line out front—but it moved quickly. I went with my wife, and we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with bacon on a ciabatta roll, an oatmeal raisin cookie, sliced ciabatta bread, and their homemade lemonade. Everything was delicious. They offer a variety of desserts that look amazing, along with several coffee options. There’s limited seating—just two outdoor tables—but it’s still a nice spot to visit and return to. Parking is available in the lot at the back.
Scratch Baking is hands down my favorite bakery in all of CT! It’s been my go to breakfast spot for years and my morning feels incomplete without it. The staff is so friendly and it makes my day to be greeted with so many smiles when I walk in. I can’t even choose one sandwich to rave about because they are all INCREDIBLE. The food here is always fresh and delicious making it literally impossible to choose a favorite menu item. The baked goods are obviously top notch, my coworkers get so excited when I bring in goodies from Scratch :) This business goes above and beyond being just a bakery, it’s a community full of love and carbs. You can taste the care baked into everything made here, I am so grateful to have Scratch in my life!
Fantastic bacon egg and cheese sandwich, great bagel, great cinnamon walnut scone. Would recommend these above all other choices. The poptart, coffee, and biscuits are ok. The service is fast and nice. The store is on the smaller side so it may get cramped with a lot of customers.
I have visited 3 times in the last 6 months (I live 35 minutes away) It is always in my day off plans to make the trip because everything is so delicious at Scratch Baking. The staff is very nice. Keep up the great work! Remember to grab a drink too!
I don't know why I waited so long to try this place! I've been getting their blueberry muffins and croissants seasonally at Robert Treat's. Finally went in and ordered a bacon egg and cheese, got a few sweets for the family and a rice pudding for myself! Grabbed a hot coffee as well! ALL WERE AMAZING! Will definitely be back!
I’m a tourist who loves to try local bakeries when vacationing. I’ve never had better food than at Scratch! We got breakfast here again and again. Once we went to a different spot and realized it was not nearly as good. I loved the variety. I asked the employee what to get and she surprised me by recommending the “morning glory” muffin. Totally blown away by this unassuming muffin. Doesn’t look like anything special but it is moist and delicious with whole walnuts, zucchini and carrots (think sweet with warm spices). Also, their muffins are enormous (I love how they do not use a tiny cupcake size pan with a little parchment liner, these always get stuck to the muffin and I’m not sure their enormous muffins would even fit in a large size liner anyway) bottom line is they are huge, perfectly soft and pillowy inside and crisp on the outside. It was so good I got it every time we went back. My husband got the bagel and lox. He said it was superior to the one he ordered the day before from a different spot. The kids enjoyed monkey bread. While I waited for the order I watched the staff. They are all so polite and friendly. They looked like working there is a lot of fun, joking around and laughing with each other. Don’t worry about a long wait. They have a great order ahead system with little cubbies for to go orders. Every time I went I was in and out in around 15 min (for large order with multiple hot sandwiches and drink orders). They always ask if you want items toasted or warmed. My only regret it that we didn’t swing by to try the lunch menu, it looks really good. The pic is of a cinnamon scone the size of my face, buttery sweet and crumbly. So amazing.
