Grain Coffee has built a reputation on the pillars of two very particular things: great coffee, and delicious cheese scones.
The café sells out of these baked pockets of gold every day, and dedicated fans come from far and wide just to snap one up. One Grain scone superfan bikes in from Sumner to get their fix, and another rides in all the way from Ohoka at least once a week.
The recipe may be top secret, but the Grain bakers say that it’s the slight touch of heat that makes them so delish. They’re served just as they should be – toasted and buttered – and there are gluten free versions available.
