I visited this little jewel when it first opened and bought six pastries to take to a friends luncheon. I was really disappointed and never went back. Three years later, looking for a breakfast place near my home, I stumbled upon Scratch again, this time to rave reviews. I decided to give it another chance and get actual food here and I am so glad that I did! I chose the Eggs Benedict with ham (I will try the smoked duck next time). This is the first place in Phoenix/Scottsdale to get hollandaise right (they make their own), the poached eggs were perfection. Now, I normally get really irritated at a small side salad on a plate of great food as an afterthought. At first, I ignored it and dove into the actual food that I ordered. I decided to use it as a palate cleanser but then I couldn't stop eating it! No "afterthought" sides for Scratch! My husband said the hash browns were the best ever and I agree. They are seasoned with maybe fennel and rosemary? I was full so I had to get my macarons to go. The salted caramel is just like butta!! I would love to keep this little place to myself but it wouldn't be fair to the rest of humanity.
