Bricks and Scones


Bricks and Scones - Possibly the cleverest of names. My mom and I went to this little tea and coffee shop on Larchmont last month.

Every time I come home, we go have tea somewhere and scarf down some scones. My mother has been on a great scone hunt since 1998 when she had her first scone at some unknown cafe in Portland. It was the only thing she enjoyed during our trip (even though the real purpose was to check out Reed College).

Since then, we've been on a hunt and had countless afternoon teas together. At this cute little eatery, for about $5 you get 3 fresh baked huuuuuuge scones and an endless pot of tea. Not bad, right?


My mom decided that the scones at Bricks and Scones place a close second to the mythical Portland scones. I really feel that she hyped up the Portland scone too much in her memories and now nothing will compare. Oh, Mom.
