Better than Starbucks Blueberry scones copycat (2024)

A few days ago, I tried the Starbucks scones and I wasn’t really surprised at how it tasted. I wish I can say it was moist, and bursting with flavors but it wasn’t. Maybe I had something that was a bit old from the Starbucks that I went to but I am not sure.

In my honest opinion, it was a downgrade from any scone you can make at home, but at the same time, I understand that convenience is also king.
