Last week, as my fiancée and I were making some final preparations for our wedding day – grocery shopping, package shipping, and other maudlin errands that are too rote to mention – my stomach growled for a quick snack and caffeinated pick-me-up.
So, on the way to Trader Joe’s, I made a pit stop at Stella Nova (4716 N. Western), a locally owned coffee chain with a handful of locations around the Metro.
Little did I know this detour would lead to a starry-eyed meal!
After the first few sips of our drinks, we dove into the warmed-up scone. Covered in a sticky, sweet glaze that made it look more like a berry-filled arrow-shaped doughnut, the first bite surprised me with a wheat-heavy taste that gave me minor pause—but the flavors were still bold and enjoyable.
