Lunch
(Again, don't sweat the timing. Have it any time of day!)
Did you say you make your own soups?!
Yes, we do. We don't have a set menu, or a soup schedule, or any of the business you might be used to. Here at Scratch, we experience soup as a feeling – an expression – an excuse to carpe diem. In a world that sadly accepts pre-fab as the status quo, we choose to rage eloquently against the machine.
Our selections change daily, as do our minds and inclinations. In general, we're looking at $6/cup or $7/bowl. However, we reserve the right to charge a little more for a soup that gives you a lot more. We aim to maintain a “something for everybody” motif, so if there's something you'd like to see and haven't, let us know. Our chefs love a challenge! Our only criteria is that it go well with an amazing gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. We have those, too. Having said that, it's really all about the...
Gourmet Grilled Cheese / Mac & Cheese

And everything can be upgraded to mac and cheese for a measly $2. For you gluten-free folks, our offerings may also be prepared as a gluten-free quesadilla for $2.
