Scratch Bakery Cafe
561 Newport Center Dr, Newport Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Scratch Bakery Cafe is a charming corner spot at Fashion Island where serious coffee meets seriously good pastries and baked goods—think gluten-free coconut passion fruit cake that actually impresses. Whether you're settling in with your laptop for a work session, meeting friends for a catch-up, or treating yourself to their standout salads and wraps, the vibe is warm and welcoming enough to make it a regular destination. The real magic here is how they balance being both a solid specialty coffee cafe and a full-service bakery-restaurant, so you're never choosing between a great drink and great food.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
