    Jalepeno, organic free range egg, & broccoli rabe are just some of the toppings you can request in your grits and, soon, your stomach, a salve for a night of drinking & precursor to a day of napping. Read more

    Vegetarian here: this is one of my favorite places in Brooklyn. Start with the breakfast sandwiches. Graduate to grits, tomato soup, amazing pizzas, nitro cold brew, etc. Trust them with everything.

    At SCRATCHBREAD in Bed-Stuy, the bakers throw out most of the rules & create their own loaves from, well, scratch. Make Monday a little better by treating yourself to a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Read more

    The BEST bread. The BEST grits. The BEST pizza-made-on-focaccia. If you've ever thought you enjoyed good bread or pastries, you owe it to yourself to go. Now. NOW. Get a loaf for the homestead.

    The sandwich breads they use are incredible. Grits with roasted asparagus and almond romesco. Anything for dessert. I'm writing a blank check for real, you can't order anything wrong here.

    When I learned about breakfast cups, I thought it was genius. At SCRATCHbread, it's next level deliciousness. Would have taken a pic if I didn't scarf those amazing grits!

    The grits were amazing, as was the fall flatbread. Getting a sourdough to remember it by - very sad to see it go. Get there before it closes on October 11th!

    Build your own grits if you dare, or let the SCRATCHbread geniuses surprise you with whatever they are cooking up that week. Shortbread is a mandatory addition to any order.

    Definitely get the soft egg and kale pesto paste w/ your grits. The kale pesto is so good, when I accidentally got a bit on my finger I almost gnawed it off.

    Ridiculous DIY egg sandwiches (get it on focaccia) and killer grits. And shortbread. Can't forget the shortbread. Line is worth it, sidewalk counter is fun.

    The food is kinda strange but delicious, I loved it. If you are looking for something different and cheap this is a great option.

    The shortbread cookies are the best I've ever had, and the breakfast sandwiches never disappoint.

    A revamped pecan sticky bun featuring candied orange, molasses, pleasantly spicy chilies, and pecans. Try one out if you can handle it -- these breads don't hold back.

    Super delicious (albeit a tad bit doughy) sticky bun, with pecans, cinnamon, bourbon glaze, and a surprisingly potent chili component.

    Breakfast in a cup is one of the smartest concepts I've seen. Delicious and portable. Great pizzas, and obviously incredible bread.

    Simple coffee shop. Try the Nitro Cold Brew. It's iced coffee pumped with nitrous so it's thick and creamy (haha), like a Guinness.

    Definitely the grits. Get a small in a big cup. Or go for the pizza. It's all great, really.

    The Grits are good. Have them w/ the chicken meatball if overly crisp bacon isn't your thing.

    Top your grits with pesto and bacon. And bring those people who say good grits are only in the South.

    The bread here is incredible. So skip the grits/rice/salad and make a sandwich. Or buy an entire loaf.

    Good Stumptown coffee but no skim milk. Rolled oat milk with splash of vanilla is an option. It's behind the counter.

    Tell them what your serving at your next dinner and they can pair you a great bread. Just like a wine pairing.
