Biscone bliss

Score bonus points with your colleagues or weekend houseguests by skipping the traditional box of doughnuts and introducing them to the biscone. A clever cross between a biscuit and scone, this special treat is adored by many patrons at Magpie Café. One delicious version is the Blueberry Biscone with Lemon Glaze ($1.75), with plump, juicy blueberries baked right inside. Enjoy this tender, flaky pastry with a cup of coffee during breakfast or alongside a tasty soup or fresh salad at lunchtime in this buzzing café and coffee shop. The friendly staff will also toast it for you.

As one of the café’s more popular items, the biscone returns regularly on a rotating menu crafted from fresh, local ingredients from nearby farmers and organic markets. It can stand proud amongst the plethora of unique baked goods. With advance notice, Magpie will even prepare your favorite treat by the dozen to ensure availability. No matter your choice, you won’t be disappointed. magpiecafe-brla.com
