I have a passion for cheese scones. What started as a challenge to try all the local scones in my hometown of Wellington NZ, turned into a life long passion to sample and rate as many scones as I can find. Scones are rated on cheesiness, texture and size. The scones had to be eaten in the establishment to be included in my review spreadsheet, and eaten only with the butter/condiments provided. Unfortunately, over the years I have lost the spreadsheet file, but the project lives on in our cheesy, buttery memories.

You can view my research via the saved ‘scones’ story archives over on Instagram. I used the hashtags #sconnisseur and #sconfluencer on Twitter and Instagram if you’d like to check those out! Unfortunately, since I now reside in Australia where cheese scones are not as widely appreciated, reviews have slowed. My love for cheese scones has not diminished.

If you know of any Australian establishments serving great cheese scones, please do not hesitate to contact me.
