Scratch Baking Company

Located in nearby South Portland, Scratch Baking goes to great lengths to create the classic bagel – crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It is more than enough to satisfy even the most discerning bagel lover. Aside from bagels, owners Bob Johnson, Allison Reid and Sonja Swanberg incorporate the same attention to technique and quality into their other baked goods offerings. The magic of this process is their handmade approach to baking. Dough is hand cut and shaped and the baking itself is done in small batches. The result are baked products that feature a deep, rich flavor while also having a longer storage life.
