I found the bran muffin, which had fresh blueberries mixed in, tasty, though instead of crumbly, it was uncharacteristically dense. There was a fair amount of coarse sugar sprinkled atop the muffin as well as both scones, which detracted from all three pastries. I enjoyed the cranberry walnut scone over the cinnamon scone for its more diverse flavor. Both scones presented a firm texture that wasn’t too dry and held together quite well.
