Scones at Coffee Bean

Coffee Bean cranberry scone

Another unplanned review. Was at Coffee Bean and saw that they had scones. Actually, they’re the only fast-food coffee chain cafe doing scones. I know O’briens does sometimes, but I wouldn’t get anything other than a sandwich there. And Dome too, but it’s more of a restaurant.

So there are two kinds of scones - a raisin scone called ‘My Mom’s scone’ (for some reason), and a slightly more expensive cranberry scone. I had the latter because it was the only one they have left.

It had a very buttery, cakey quality to it. I’m not sure if scones are supposed to be more bread than cake - but I would lean slightly towards bread. And you don’t really taste much of the cranberry bits. At least I think they’re not as obvious as raisins.

The scone came with butter and jam, which is laughable but I had no expectations to begin with. One thing about jam is that it makes almost anything good by covering it up with its sweetness.

Overall, I was hoping for a surprise in the scone, like Dome’s, but it was not meant to be.

P.S: Their Dark Choc Peppermint Ice Blended was good though.
