About the business:
Seattle Scone Co. was born from a simple idea that something as humble as a scone can turn an ordinary moment into something memorable. They craft each scone with care, using clean, pronounceable ingredients, sourcing organic and local whenever possible and each comes with their signature frosting. Plus vegan and gluten-free options are available. You can find them at farmers markets across Seattle, offering both fresh-baked and frozen take-and-bake scones so you can bring the experience home.
Note about the recipe from the owner of Seattle Scone Co:
"These clover rolls are a beloved family tradition that we make for holidays, gatherings, and any occasion that calls for a little extra comfort at the table. The recipe has been passed down for a few generations, picking up small tweaks along the way. This version includes an extra quarter cup of sugar compared to my mom’s, because I love as lightly sweeter roll. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to suit your own taste. The beauty of a family recipe is making it your own."

About the business:
Elm Coffee Roasters is a Seattle-based coffeehouse that roasts their own exceptional coffee right in the cafe. They believe that sincere hospitality and unpretentious services is just as important as great tasting coffee and they even say....maybe even more important. Founder Brendan Mullally, born and raised in Seattle, is obsessed with great tasting coffee and it shows. Their cafe, which is thankfully near the Atelier Drome office so we can all visit daily, was designed with his other obsession of welcoming service at the forefront. One key design element is the bar where visitors sit on one side and the barista crafts drinks on the other. Everyone can chat and the barista can hand drinks right over to the person sitting on the other side, no shouting necessary.
While we recommend grabbing drinks in person so you can enjoy the perfectly crafted cup from their talented baristas, if you don't live in the area, you can order their fabulous coffee from their website and have your own Elm experience at home.
