The new, much awaited endeavor, Toast Bar from Scratch Baking is, among other attributes, a luxurious use of dining options in our region. I mean, a toast bar? What is it exactly? I pictured rows of toasters lined up on a counter in various stages popping out puffy browned breads.
The Toast Bar carries on the bakery’s high standards to bring some of the best baked styles of bread- making around. Of course, there are their famous flakey-crusted croissant-like lightly sour-dough bagels along with their great breads. If, for instance, you haven’t picked up a baguette from Scratch baking, it’s one of the best baguettes around. And it’s a marvel of bread making. Their starter has a slight zing of sourdough from long fermentation, and added shelf life, exhibiting a crunchy outer crust and intense bread flavor. There are 12 to 13 breads made at the bread shop, the selection of which changes daily.
