Amazing donuts! All the staff are pretty cool and the place is beautiful, I recommend for everyone!
Best Pies ever! Tasty and delicious food! Fantastic atmosphere and awesome staff! Thank you very much for your passion! Great Caterer as well! Always on time and perfectly delivered!
Popped in here for a spot of breakfast and a catch up with some colleagues. The coffee was great and the others raved about the chocolate croissant and bagel. The Eggs Benedict was decent too.
Rating: 4. Rustic industrial decor hardly scream cozy on first impression. However, the staff were really friendly, along with the delicious & hearty food, this is a nice place to come for lunch & retreat from the office. The seafood chowder was simple, creamy, with great chunky pieces of tuna, prawns & cockles. The sourdough soldiers were just as good, crunchy & tangy.
Came on a Friday morning, was really busy but still plenty of tables available. Great selection of cabinet food, both sweet and savoury. Ordered a pistachio croissant (delicious!) and cappuccino. Coffee was strong and had lots of milk froth, just how I like it. The let down of the place was that the waitress didn’t know what order went to which table, better to have table numbers than get things wrong, as I saw happen several times.
Got the bounty bar coconut slice. Delish little place for coffee and treats.
The bounty bar tasted like it was sweetened with honey, felt slightly healthy but tasted great
DELICIOUS!!! My favourite new cafe! The lemon curd donut was massive and delicious and so reasonably priced! Also had the bacon, egg and haloumi nap fresh made which was yum too and also the rum ball which just tastes like raw cookie dough so good! The service was fast and decor nice. All the cabinet looks mouthwatering!
Amazing place to have coffee and amazing options from their Bakery section.
Their donut are like "No one can eat just one".
My favorite is espresso.
Savoury Muffins are good, I expect bit more on that.
Cakes are definitely so good 👌
Big cafe definitely popular with local business workers. No one greets you as such you grab a table and go up and order. The cabinet food is very appealing. Smallish menu but covers everything.
Great spot in the morning as the sun pours in.
We ordered:
Slow scrambled eggs
Potato rosti
Decent portions and well presented food.
Good service and good coffee! My go to when in the city for work hardest thing is trying to pick what you want from their delish cabinet. If your in the area it’s a must try
It has always been a good start of a day when you had good breakfast. Visited Scratch many times for brunch or quick take away coffee. Their food and coffee are really nice. Always visit here whenever in town.
Food and coffee: 4/5
Ambience 4/5
Service 3.5/5
I personally think this is the best coffee in the viaduct area. There is a really great scrambled egg and tomato in a ciabatta roll that I love to purchase. I've had one "bad" experience where my poached eggs were served hard (couldn't tell if that was intentional) but I was a bit pushed for time so didn't bother asking for it to be remade.
Amazing carrot cake, and chia latte. All good looks amazing. Staff are super helpful and place is lively. Worth a detour. Shout out to Caitlin who was great!
Meat pies are so good! Can't speak for the rest of the pastries and stuff because I did not have room for them. Just beware if you order tea here, they use tiny teapots.
Vibe is appropriately industrial yet very fitting, just needed more stomach space!
We visited Scratch for brunch yesterday. We can see why is place so busy - the service, drinks and food were absolutely fantastic. Drinks and hot food delivered to our table within 10 minutes and the place was packed. Very impressed. The staff were always busy doing something and not just standing around looking at their phones. The best Cafe in Auckland we've been to.
Come here often for great coffee!
The small little prosciutto-truffle croissant is amazing.
Would love large version of it.
Pistachio croissant was a letdown, taste a bit too much like an artifical flavour.
Chocolate cruffin was very nice.
The place gets busy but won't let you down. Staff Is pretty onto it!
We ordered the rib eye sandwich to share and a raspberry mint tea. No cold black tea here. The sandwich was a bit disappointing with a thin, tough slice of steak. The order taker did deliver to the table but did not seem to be having a good day as we smiled and tried to engage a little bit.
Best cafe in town by far! Amazing coffee, yummy breakfast, a great looking cabinet of which everything is made on site in the bakery hence the name "Scratch" such a nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely too.
We had a catch up coffee during lunchtime at Scratch Bakers in the city and I was immediately impressed by how stunning the wooden concrete interiors were with a very urban chic feel to the establishment. The espresso was impressive that a had a couple of soy lattes and a hazelnut double chocolate meringue which was fudgey, chewy and so chocolatey. Simply divine coffee experience that warrants a lunching experience next time!
My daily from work. Got to watch the waist line as everything is delicious. Pistachio Croissant my personal fav. Great coffee too.

The sausage roll!!! I don't have to say much more. Be prepared to wait a bit if you get their late during lunch rush as they are busy!!!
That was pretty great; easy to say that haha. Spacious, welcoming shop with plenty of seating and shelves full of tempting treats. Many of their sandwiches seem to be prepared earlier that morning, ready for toasting, and still tasted great with a dash of plated flair. Don't forget about the pies either as I wouldn't have even noticed them if my friend didn't point them out to me. They run weekly specials too so took them up on that plus a balanced Snickers donut (not your normal donut). So much to look forward to eating next time.
