Scratch & Co.

The best word to describe Scratch & Co, a cafe and pub in Troy Hill, is eclectic. The people who work here don’t have specific job titles. Rather, they’re cross-trained to work every position, filling in where needed, which makes it feel like everyone’s just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company. Go for brunch when you can get things like bagels from Hellbender, a pop-up run by one of their staff members, or the chicken confit sandwich with smoked jalapeño honey, cabbage and herb slaw, and lemon aioli. They also have a tight list of excellent local beer and cider.
