The first thing that you notice when walking into J. Scones bakery in Doylestown is the incredible aroma. It’s just how a good bakery should smell. All sorts of scents hit you—chocolate, fruit and that good old “baked goods smell.”

Bucks County Biscotti

By On October 25, 2010 · 2 Comments

Have you ever had a Bucks County Biscotti? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing. As I write, I’m eating one of their Classic Anise Almond and it’s delicious. Subtly sweet with tiny anise seeds that give a little punch of licorice flavor and great texture. They’re really outstanding.

Everything—and I [...]

By On May 21, 2010 · 1 Comment

AAGGH. I have to admit, that’s what I’m feeling right now. We are fortunate to have my whole family in visiting this week – and have beautiful weather – from parts far and wide: England, California, Miami and…Newtown (that would be my parents). So I don’t have much time to blog this weekend. But there is a lot [...]

Tidbit, or should I say “cupcake?”

By On May 18, 2010 · 2 Comments

Tax season

By On March 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I feel a need to apologize for the lightness of my online presence these past few days. I’ve been pulling together our taxes. Ugh. Should be done today and I’ll send it off to the accountant. And I’m not posting this just to prove to the IRS that Bucks County Taste exists, and is worth some [...]
