The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf continues to pave the way for new innovations in the cafe industry with the scuffin! Combining the soft flaky texture of traditional scones with the delectable taste of muffins, scuffin is the best of both worlds. Choose from two exotic flavours – tangy orange cranberry or zesty passionfruit – to be enjoyed with a spread of butter, a dollop of cream or on its own. The scuffin goes well with the cafe’s floral and herbal teas. It is priced at RM6.85 per piece at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf stores nationwide.
