Home to the National Trust Scone Blogger's favourite ever scone.
Read the full blog from their initial visit and first taste of the infamous Christmas pudding scone. When the quest to try scones at all National Trust places was completed several years later... this moment and scone from Treasurer's House, was given the accolade of being the top of the tasting charts.
Served during the festive season, our same skilled bakers make scones fresh each week, with flavours changing each month. So a delicious scone can be enjoyed in spring, summer and autumn... not just at Christmas.
I have travelled 200 miles for a scone. That scone looks amazing and smells amazing. Surely it can't be as nice as I am anticipating? Readers, it was off the scale delicious. That first bite of Christmas pudding scone with brandy butter will remain with me for a very long time.

In the below stairs area of Treasurer's House, next to the café are book shelves with donations of pre-loved books. It's the perfect virtuous circle, peruse and pick one out if you're having a brew. When you've found something you like, leave your donation and take it home for your next read.
If and when you're having a book clear out yourself, donate back for onward sale. All donations support the work of the National Trust, including looking after the places in our care in York.
The closest shop is just around the corner from Treasurer’s House, across from York Minster at 32 Goodramgate. Like Treasurer’s House, it was donated to the Trust in 1930 by Frank Green and rather than squeeze into a space in the house, it's a large airy building, perfect for perusing.
The archway at the front once formed one of four entrances to the York Minster precinct. With timbers dating back to the late 12th century, it’s the last remaining entrance left standing today.
The friendly team are on hand if you need inspiration and National Trust vouchers or membership make a superb option.
