Scratch Bakery now open!
A week of staking out 111 Orange Street in downtown Durham finally paid off, as I was lucky enough to be first “customer” this morning. I use the air quotes because the coffee and doughnuts were free (red tape has tangled up their business license, they hope to have it resolved today). I enjoyed a buttermilk doughnut and had two cups of Counter Culture coffee while I sat and chatted with . I also bumped into fellow local food blogger , who was on her way to work and had to take her breakfast to go. Scratch is definitely a family venture – owner/baker extraordinaire Phoebe Lawless was hard at work in the back, while her husband and daughter hung out up front. It was a great way to start my morning and was only the first of what I expect will be many visits to Scratch.
is open M-F 7:30am to 4pm, and Saturdays 9am to 3pm. They are located at 111 Orange Street in downtown Durham – .
