As a member of the Atlanta Food Blogger’s Society, I received a box of yummy samples from Seven Sisters Scones to try out their robust line of gluten-free offerings that include: sconies (mini scones), bissconies (scone/biscotti mash up), and gourmet croutons.  I received samples of sconies in: banana toffee, blueberry, chocolate chocolate chip, lemon poppy seed, mixed berry, and raspberry white chocolate chip. I also received the bacon, cheddar, and chive croutons, and apple caramel bissconies.

I have always loved scones, but finding gluten-free versions of these dense pastries in Atlanta has been difficult. When Seven Sisters Scones opened their brick and mortar store in July 2015, it seemed too good to be true. I mean, the store is not far from my house and they know enough about gluten-free products to take precautions to keep the scones free from cross contact. All of their gluten-free baked goods are made in a shared environment at the start of the day before wheat flour fills the air.

All of their products are loaded with flavorful ingredients. The scone dough, which serves as the base for the croutons and bisconnies too, is made with a proprietary gluten-free flour blend that produces light, grit-free pastries that are melt-in-your-mouth delicious with no crumbling. I actually prefer the savory flavors like fig and goat cheese and bacon, cheese and chive over the sweet ones. Weird I know, but finding gluten-free sweets is easy. Savory flavors are hard to come by.

I like the way they play with textures by adding whole fruit to the batter and topping the scones with glaze and other ingredients already in the batter like chocolate chips; however, they can be overly generous with the glaze and it is a little thick for my liking. The toppings should enhance the flavor, not distract from it. The mixed berry was my favorite of the bunch followed closely by the blueberry, banana toffee, lemon poppy seed, raspberry white chocolate chip and the chocolate chip. The croutons and bissconies are tasty and make nice gifts, but I am all over the scones.

Seven Sisters Scones serves homemade scones six days a week (Monday through Saturday) from 7:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Their scones (regular and gluten free) are made using high-quality ingredients and come in both regular and minis. All of the scones are wrapped individually and kept behind the counter with one of each flavor in the display case for viewing. There are usually two flavors of gluten-free scones available daily – one sweet and one savory.

The company also serves soups, salads, and sconewiches (filled with meat and cheese) for a quick and delicious lunch. Many of the soups and salads are gluten free, so ask before ordering. Coffee, tea, and soft drinks are also available, in addition to homemade croutons (regular and gluten free), bissconies, and homemade mixed berry, caramel, and hot fudge sauces. They also offer gift baskets and boxes, gift cards, and cater events.

Stop by this Johns Creek bakery and pick up a gluten-free scone and a cup of coffee. I promise you will not be disappointed.
