🧁 Scones, Jam & Cream: The Most Delicious Debate



🧁 Scones, Jam & Cream: The Most Delicious Debate

There’s something truly magical about that first bite of a warm scone—especially when it’s paired with clotted cream, preserves, and a freshly steeped pot of tea.

At A Steep In Time, our scones are more than a treat—they’re a ritual, a conversation starter, and (let’s be honest) sometimes the reason you came in the first place.

But let’s settle the question that has divided tea tables for centuries...

šŸ’­ Cream First or Jam First?

This age-old question stirs up some serious opinions:

  • In Devon, it’s cream first, topped with jam.

  • In Cornwall, it’s jam first, with cream on top.

Here? We say: do what brings you joy.We serve our scones warm, with both cream and jam on the side—so you can craft your perfect bite, however you like it.

šŸ“ What’s in a Scone?

We keep it simple and delicious:

  • Classic scones, golden and lightly sweet

  • Served with fruit preserves and rich clotted cream

  • Gluten-freeĀ scones available—just as tasty, just as beautiful

Soft on the inside with just a hint of crisp on the edge—our scones are beloved for a reason.

šŸ° Noni’s Sweet Treats — The Heart Behind the Scones

We’re proud to partner with Noni’s Sweet Treats, whose handcrafted scones add warmth and character to every tray we serve.

Made with care and a whole lot of love, Noni’s scones are the kind of treat that make you close your eyes and smile. And if you’ve left your plate clean, you’re not alone.

šŸ«– Pairings We Love

Try pairing your scone with one of these favorite teas:

  • Melon Pear (White Tea) – delicate and fruity

  • Vanilla Rose (Black Tea) – floral, sweet, and romantic

  • Pu-erh – earthy and bold, balances richness
