Scone nirvana

I don't know what a proper scone is supposed to be, but the ones I typically encounter are really dry, crumbly, and lack oomph. The best scones to me are dry on the outside, but softer with just the faintest hint of being moist on the inside. The last good scone I remember having was 5+years ago at Royal Blend in New Orleans.

On recommendation from my hairdresser, I stopped in Ristretto's coffee shop today, and found a great scone and a nice cappuccino. The scone had tiny crumbles of pecan, mixed with a few bits of orange zest and some gorgeous chunks of chocolate, wow, it actually all really worked well together.



An intriguing looking clothing store next to the coffee shop, I didn't stop in, but will do so another day...
