User's Notes:
I was drawn to the small, somewhat hidden place, by the crowd that was standing all the way from the entrance to the sidewalk. As I approached, I needed no more convincing, the smell of the fresh baked scones was too strong to ignore. Waiting wasn’t too long and was definitely worth it. The scones were divine and I cannot wait to be back in NYC to enjoy that taste again. A must visit, even if you are not in the neighborhood.
