Scone with a Difference

Gail's Sour Cherry & Belgian Dark Chocolate Drop Scone

Don't Be Dull

 Scotland is justly proud of its home-baking tradition and scones and we found special scones - Chocolate and Ginger and Orange and Chocolate plus many more - at many locations.

Clearly Fresh

 Fresh scones at the Jarrold store in Norwich plus yesterday's scones at one third the price to take home and enjoy.

Scone Choices

Made Fresh

Simple and highly effective way of selling profitable scones at Churchfields Farmhouse Ice Cream's cafe - reassure customers that the scones really are fresh.

My eagle-eyed Great Cafes spy in Sydney loved this 'clock on an A-board' signage for freshly baked scones.

Congratulations Chessington

Chessington Garden Centre's cafe has won joint Best Destination Garden Centre Restaurant 2014.  Owner Jolyon's passionate leadership plus manager Caroline's attention to detail is a winning combination (plus it may help being one of our long standing clients).  They have taken the Cafe Tour, use us to audit the operation every year and always strive to get from very good to great.

Jammy

Scones with jam already in the top of them at KC Peaches in Dublin.

Oven Fresh

Scones fresh on display with back up cooling on the oven shelf behind - smart design at Levy Restaurants operation at Hatfield House.

Clotted Cream & Nutella ... in a Scone

Double Chocolate Chip Scones with clotted cream and Nutella at Pandora's Kitchen cafe in Norwich.

Scone Stars

The Jarrold Department Store in Norwich has always set high standards with their 'legendary' scones - by showing they are always fresh and selling yesterday's scones bagged up for take-away at a reduced price at the cafe till.  Bravo Jarrolds.

You wouldn't believe the number of caterers selling stale scones at full price.   Shame on those that don't bake a simple scone seven days a week and make the false economy of keeping those left over to the following day and passing them off as 'fresh'.

Drop a Scone

Drop scones - sour cherry and dark chocolate / apricot, blueberry and ginger -  plus peanut butter cookies at the Guardian's pop up cafe #guardiancoffee in Boxpark, Shoreditch.

Very Well Bread

 Cowes, Isle of Wight's Well Bread cafe has influences of the Town Mill and Royal William Bakeries - terrific.
