1 Aug ... make a date of it ... #72

A downunder contribution for the August "theme" photo. Perhaps not the usual breakfast image but these date scones from Cafe Villa in Ngaio are reknown. On many weekends we will go down to the Cafe just to get some fresh baked, delicious date scones .. very tasty with a crunchy top ... I can personally recommend them.

I managed to catch the breakfast chef tidying up the bench, sticky dough hands and I had the privilege of seeing the goods cooking in the oven along with some cheese scones. Cafe Villa is in an old house at 61 Ottawa road, Ngaio and is open 7 days for brunch, lunch and light snacks.

I can imagine the taste NOW .. and I have to ... as the first batch was not quite ready when I called in this morning. !!!

Scones have made it to the US however I am ashamed to say I have not tried one yet. As the result of your post I will rectify that mistake in the near future. Also, until your post I would have naturally asked for a cheese scone. Now I know to ask for a date scone.

Happy Theme Day!
