Best scones in Hamilton

Miltons Canteen may be famous for its sweet pies, but that doesn’t mean they’re not equally as good at scones. Made in house, the date and citrus are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside which true scone connoisseurs will know is a tricky balance to achieve. A dusting of citrus sugar and icing sugar are the finishing touches, so smear on some butter and enjoy the chill vibes that come with eating at Miltons.

Experts in mixing up your usual scone flavours, GG’s in Lovegrove Lane takes the baking business to a new level in their busy kitchen. Consistently throwing new things at your taste buds, find creative scone flavours here like beetroot, fennel and feta, rosemary and feta or carrot, caraway and feta.

Chunky as you like but surprisingly low fat, Grey Street Kitchen’s scones are free of cream, milk or butter but generous on the cheese.

Feel free to rectify the no butter situation too by slathering your scone with the handy serving that comes with it.

The Lost Boys certainly know how to impress you with the simple things.
