Similar to hummus, the word “scone” also generates one hell of a debate over its pronunciation. Are you from the team that pronounces it like “gone” or the other side that insists it’s pronounced like “tone”? Well, all those tomfoolery aside, the one thing that most of us can agree on is how good this English baked good is. 

Scones are usually served during afternoon tea, ideally with clotted cream and strawberry jam, like how the Brits do. You can easily get these buttery, crumbly treats from many of the city’s leading pastry houses—and you won’t have to sit through an entire hour of afternoon tea in a hotel lobby to enjoy them nor burn a hole in your pocket doing so.

What’s more, the pastry masters at some of these establishments have gone beyond the traditional English recipe, and have injected some twists and more fun flavors into their scones.
