● If it is as it is, "Starbucks Latte"

The surface is crispy and the inside is fine and moist. Delicate mouthfeel for scones.

The dough is light and melts in your mouth. It is not sweetened and gets the moisture in the mouth to ooze the richness of butter. The chocolate chunk slowly melts with a slight delay, spreading a deep and deep sweetness.

If you don't want to warm it up, we recommend a hot latte for the drink to match. The reason is as follows.

Most of the dough that melts in the mouth will flow before the large chocolate melts. However, if you pour a warm latte at an early stage, the chocolate will melt more quickly. The sweetness of chocolate and the richness of butter culminate at the same time, and you can enjoy the rich taste with the milky feeling of latte.

● If you want to warm up, "drip coffee"

According to the clerk, if you want to heat the scones yourself, use an oven or toaster for 2-3 minutes.

Therefore, the crisp and bitter black coffee goes well with it. Pour bitter coffee into your mouth, which is dominated by the sweet aftertaste of chocolate, and enjoy the contrast. I think it can be hot or iced.

The above is the author's subjective and "if you say it after comparing" story, and basically both are suitable.

It's a standard food that is always lined up in the store (it may be sold out), so why not try to find the best combination for yourself with various drinks.
