Welcome back to Tea With Me and Friends - we hope you're well today!
Joe and I recently spent a weekend away on the Isle of Wight, and as you can imagine......finding a scrummy scone was on the top of our "to do"list. Well, ok.....it wasn't really on the top of Joe's list, but he humoured me and let me hunt out a new scone spot!
Little did I know that we were staying in the next town to a "scone zone"....
The Scone Zone! Cole's Bazaar & Snackery, Shanklin - Isle of Wight |
As we walked along the seafront at Shanklin we came across this sign outside Cole's Bazaar and Snackery. To be honest, the name "snackery" had first caught our eye....but then I saw the board!
As well as plain and savoury scones, the board included banana, lemon, cherry, apricot and apple scones (to name a few). Each one paired with clotted cream and a spread or preserve.
I opted for the banana scone, served with clotted cream and chocolate spread!

For £3.75 I got a good size scone, which was served warm. A portion of butter, a portion of clotted cream and a portion of chocolate spread. And of course.....a pot of tea! I was really impressed with the price of this cream tea - the portion sizes were great and the service really quick.
As you can tell from the photo above, we were really lucky with the weather and I got to enjoy my scone in the sunshine overlooking the sea.

The scone was really fresh and tasty, I loved the banana flavour which was sweet and subtle. The banana went really well with the clotted cream and chocolate spread.
All the scones are homemade, with natural ingredients.
I really wish we were staying on the Isle of Wight longer, I would have loved to try all the different scones on offer! I suppose at least I have a very good reason to visit again!
What's the most unusual scone you have tried? I think banana is definitely the most exotic scone I've sampled so far!
Thank you for popping by today,
Rachel
