Pumpkin Sugar Rush: Alice's Tea Cup

Editor's note: Every afternoon we like to post a short Sugar Rush to end your day. Think of it as the dessert to your daily blog reading. Plus, as an added bonus, every day between now and Halloween these Sugar Rushes will all be pumpkin based. It's the only way we could think of covering the enormous number of pumpkin sweets being offered in the city right now. Enjoy!

There's an abundant variety of scones at Alice's Tea Cup. From buttermilk chocolate chip to strawberry cream cheese, the traditional British-style scones are shunned in favor of large and sweet American takes on this beloved baked good. Fall months usher in the return of Alice's famed pumpkin scone. It's addictive, with its buttery crust and easy-to-love crumb that is gentle and moist. Spices are noticeably light, but a deliciously shiny pour of sticky caramel glaze makes for a scone that is more childish than classy. If Alice's scones are no longer hot from the oven, the sweet gals and guys behind the counter are more than glad to warm it up for you.
