Scratch in Makati: Redefining Artisan Baking Through Craft and Community
Scratch in Makati has evolved from a small pandemic-born project into one of the most respected names in artisan baking.
Founded by baker Ralph Sy, the brand first gained attention through Instagram, attracting individuals searching for honest, handcrafted bread made with time, technique, and intention.

At Scratch, orders are fulfilled through an online pre-order system, with scheduled pickups every Wednesday or Friday, allowing the team to focus on small-batch production and consistent results.
Scratch’s reputation rests on its commitment to quality. Its signature Seeded Sourdough remains a favorite among bread enthusiasts—deeply flavorful, slow-fermented, and finished with a crunchy, seed-studded crust.

Beyond its beloved breads, the bakery also maintains a loyal following for its classic Mikaela’s Cookies, a classic chocolate chip cookies topped with flakey salt.

Today, the brand caters events—including, more recently, weddings—for high-profile clients who seek the same artisanal quality that first put Scratch on the map.
On weekends, the team brings their craft to life, where they host brunch services that regularly draw long lines from early morning until sellout. This weekend pop-up has quickly become a destination in its own right, offering diners a chance to enjoy Scratch’s goods in a lively, community-driven setting.
For those who appreciate craftsmanship and flavor rooted in authenticity, Scratch remains one of Makati’s most compelling artisan brands—ever evolving, and always worth returning to.
