Scratch Baking Co - Bakery and Cake Shop in South Portland - 416 Preble St, USA

Great system to get through, even when it is very busy. Happy with everything I ordered here. They have a huge variety of bagels and pastries, and the coffee is very good. The only thing I would recommend is having more spots to sit outside for customers that want to enjoy their baked goods right away. Other than that, it is a fantastic place!

Fantastic bakery. Did not disappoint. The ordering process moves the line quickly. When we got there the line was put the door and across the cross walk. We got through in about 10 minutes. The bagals have great flavor the Montreal spice was my favorite . The cookies are huge and paked with flavor. And of course I tried Nance's blueberry muffin.

Great selection of bagels, breads, baked goods, and other pastry treats! I highly recommend the cheddar jalapeno bagels (only on Thursday) and the cinnamon raisin--they have the best flavor and texture (everything bagel is a bit weak in the everything seasoning). Their peanut butter cookie is made with real peanut chunks and was huge! Their fudgy brownie was very dense and good; I recommend warming it up and serving with ice cream. I appreciate the great traffic flow they have set up, where you enter and work through the counters in one-way direction and then pay for all your goodies at the end. Other stores should take note of this setup! I hope to be back again!

The sea salt bagel is delicious, the sourdough in it has soft texture and the outside is slightly crisp. The scones are soft and buttery 😋😋

Stumbled upon this place and haven’t stopped talking about it. Soooo good!! Lots of tasty pastries, refrigerated offerings (chicken salad, coleslaw, etc) and artisan breads, BUT it’s the bagels that are to. die. for. Great chew, decadent, and crunchy on the outside. YUM! Nestled in the cutest little residential neighborhood, this bakery is affordable, yet worth a drive. We live in Massachusetts (1.5 hours away) but are already planning a return Autumn visit. You are doing EVERYTHING right!!

Such a gem that we picked at random from Google Maps for breakfast and pastries on the way to Portland Head Light after arriving at the airport. Amazing sourdough bagels — some of the best we’ve ever had even coming from NYC — and delicious coffee too. Really cute local spot.

Enjoyed some outstanding house made bagels, cookies, and coffee. Line was long but was well organized and moved quickly! Service was very friendly and well appreciated!! Only wish I had a bit more time to gaze through all the incredible eats and treats…

Excellent bakery with a well thought out system/plan. They have since updated everything after covid so it is a quick in and out of the store. All of the baked goods are delicious and well worth stopping in for.
