For our newest Destination Taste, we are highlighting miniature pumpkin scones with a cinnamon glaze. They are served daily in our lobby alongside local apple cider mulled in-house. Also, as we are planning our fall menus, we will be incorporating a sundae with the scones, pepita brittle, caramel corn, tapioca pudding, and salted caramel ice cream.
