The crowd at the Beechwood Scone Witch is different than the one downtown. One factor is that this Scone Witch is in the same building as a retirement home! I think this is great so that the residents have a coffee shop that they can access without having to leave the building and somewhere to meet their friends and have some fresh old-style baked scones.
The scones here are delicious and I especially enjoy when they have seasonal-type specials, such as pumpkin!
The scone sandwiches are delicious, I have had both the tuna and the goats cheese one and it would be hard to decide which is my favorite. Don't be fooled by their size, you will be full when you are finished!
Brunch is served at the location on Beechwood from 8 to 3 on weekends.
The service is friendly, the coffee is good and the atmosphere is relaxed: a great place to spend a winter afternoon reading. -

I don't like scones and with that statement one of my friends dragged me out to the best scones in Ottawa!
I had never been out to Beechwood but getting here wasn't to difficult. I purchased 2 savoury scones. I don't know if it was the pressure or what but I finished the scone in no time and told my friend I still didn't like scones!!! I wasn't there to see her face but she was probably a little heartbroken. Maybe a little like Puss N Boots from Shrek with the sad eyes.
Honestly though, I didn't hate it like I do other scones which I find way to dense and extremely dry. It's what I imagine prison bread texture to be like. The scone I still found heavy but it wasn't bad. It's not my favourite baked item and I don't think I'd go out of my way to try another one but there's no way I have tried a better scone but I imagine there has to be better ones. -

I go here with my friend to catch up as often as I can. Its never too busy, which is nice even though there is plenty of seating. You order, and they usually bring it to your table...kind of like a restaurant, but a coffee shop atmosphere, in that sense. The employees are mostly students when I'm there, although I'm pretty sure Ive seen the "Witch" herself lol.
In total, Ive tried the vanilla cream and ginger currant scones...yum! Very decent size for $1.90 (could change, don't quote me). The scones I've had at other places are no where near as moist. You really can taste the ingredients..it was lightly vanilla and definitely didn't need butter. The ginger currant scone isn't too strong, but in no means bland. I was hesitant because I've never tried that combination, but the currants were a nice burst of flavor here and there.
The hot chocolate is decadent and creamy and relatively priced for a regular sized mug. Interestingly, the peppermint tea Ive had there comes loose leaf in a bag ...sleeve...thing. Just hanging out of the pot. Not a crazy difference from a regular bag, but still a nice little twist.
For roughly the price of a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha, you can get a scone and tea in a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows to people watch in the heart of beechwood. -
