Best scone I ever tasted in my life. Realized that I've been missing out. Went to Alice’s Tea Cup and seriously, my pumpkin scone was AMAZING. Best scone I ever tasted in my life.

I also love the white flour fruit and nut scone. without icing. all great. i did not like the Blueberry here at all, a total overly sweet damp drag. but the fore-mentioned have nothing in common. try em all, and get a homemade fig bar for later...mmmm I think Whole Foods has some of the greatest scones in california, I wonder if the chain has the same ones in NYC? the darker fruit nut scone is to die for, chunky heavy, crispy nutty with the right amount of carmaleized crisp edged rasins etc with powdered sugar on top.. also the crystalized ginger scone is so great, with its candy-like icing, thick, crispy and wonderful contract it has out for the slight heat of the great organic crystallized ginger.

But I heard that there's different schools of babkas like Russian and Polish. Even though I'm a bit ignorant about Jewish and Eastern European food and desserts, I still do love both. My favorite brands are either Green's or Eli Zabar's, both of which I purchase from Zabar's once every two to three weeks.

I'm not a fan of Doughnut Plant's raised doughnuts, but maybe I'll give the tres leches and Balthazar doughnut a try.<br/><br/>About rugelach-darn, I heard Zabar's was good. Sorry you had bad results. I've also heard good things about Margaret Palca Bakes. I saw some at Sahadi's in Brooklyn but didn't get them because they didn't have chocolate.<br/><br/>I love babka too! Ooh, what are your favorites? Do you know why some are more bready and others are like danish? What's the difference between babka and Russian coffee cake? Zabar's sells both. Hi Tina, I just saw Ed’s post.

Muffins are possibly one of my future blogs. I don't know about donuts but you can read Ed Levine's blog: http://www.edlevineeats.com/post/2001<br/>about donuts - especially from Donut Planet. Rugelach is hard to find; after trying a few brands from Zabar's and Fairway, I've been pretty disappointed but it's a task I'll try to take. I'm more of a babka girl than a rugelach.<br/><br/>Robyn - I totally agree with you about the scone's tastiness depends on the freshness. But it also depends on their recipe some of them are just plain horrible (i.e. Bread Alone) I bought at 8 AM and it's just plain awful! jessica - Thanks for loving my “Best of…” series.

My other favorites are from Levain Bakery and Alice's Teacup, but the tastiness depends a lot on the freshness. Mraah! This post is AWESOME! :)

Could you find the best muffins, cake doughnuts and rugelach please? I haven't found a good muffin (yuck to Au Bon Pain, delis and street carts) until I went to Financier today. I think it's the perfect size, too. For dougnuts, Dunkin Donuts tastes unnatural, and I had an unimpressive cider doughnut from one of the farmer stands. I love your “Who Has the Best” series.
