How do they choose the staff at Cobs? I'd love to know because this is the second branch I've tried and the staff here were just as smiley, enthusiastic and ridiculously friendly as the people in the shop at Kensington Market.
The woman serving me beamed and applauded my selection of the seasonal pumpkin spice scone. They were just in that day and warm from the oven! I decided on an iced one and she deliberated over them trying to find the one with the best pattern-one of the others had iced some of them in a spiderweb pattern for the season. She made a huge effort to put paper on top as well to give me some hope of preserving the icing after placing it in the bag.
I left the shop smiling. It wasn't just the prospect of the blood sugar spike, it was mainly the sweet service. The fact that the scone was light, fluffy and delicious was almost just a bonus!
