BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: HEMP SEED SCONE at LA COLOMBE

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

I mindlessly eat too many morning pastries with my coffee to count. Don’t tell my doctor. But it’s rare that those scones, muffins, and breads are anything but an early morning treat. The hemp scone from La Colombe stood apart from the group. It sounds healthy (and happens to be vegan) and so I feel slightly less guilty for eating it. Nonetheless, it tastes great with a sugary caramelized crunchy exterior that leads into a wholesome hearty center.
