I'm gonna cry. Please keep those scones as a life menu. I might not be a fan of coffee but I could always have the mix scone as comfort food. Brought some home and kept them frozen. Air fryer 4mins heating up, I got crispy and soft breakfast indulgences on the rainy weekend.

2020.09.16. Today's morning walk (It was a warm day and cool weather) was to the cafe @Red Rocket Coffee on Wellesley Street. It was a nice walk. We had a regular hot Americano and an Iced Americano. I like the coffee. We sat outside as no seating inside. They have a small variety of sweets.

We ordered the hot chocolate, black coffee, mix veg scone (can’t remember the exact name) and one vegan patty. The patty and the scone were delicious!!! The hot chocolate was good but could be better. The black coffee was smooth. We have noticed many people enjoying their coffees everyday. This is just across our house but due to their hours, it gets difficult to visit them. Whenever we get a chance, we try to visit it.

I am a scone lover. I have to say the taste of the scone was unique! Not too buttery but salty! The size of the scone is my favorite part :) But one staff member seemed like he didn't have a good day!

Really friendly and helpful staff. The coffee roast is super smooth. I had a cortado on this visit here and it was great. Last time I was here I had a iced latte which was memorable. Totally worth stopping by.
