Trader Joe's Glazed Sweet Lemon Scones look like something you'd grab from a cute café - soft yellow scones with a shiny glaze that promises a bright lemon bite. I was excited to try them because lemon treats are always my thing, especially with a cup of coffee.
Where to find them
These are in the bakery section, usually near the seasonal pastries and mini muffins. They come in a clear plastic container with eight bite-size scones - perfect for snacking or sharing with kids.
Taste and texture
The lemon flavor is great - fresh, a little tangy, and the glaze adds a nice sweetness on top. They smell amazing when you open the box, like lemon zest and sugar.
But the texture? A bit dry for me. They're still enjoyable, but I always want a drink with them - coffee, tea, or even milk for kids. Heating them up for 10 seconds in the microwave helps soften them and brings out the lemon flavor more.
How I like to have them
These work best as a quick morning treat or an afternoon pick-me-up with coffee. They're small enough that you can grab one (or two) without feeling like you committed to a full pastry. I also tried them with a little butter, which made them more tender and a bit richer.

Final thoughts
I like the lemon flavor and the cute, snackable size of these scones. They're just a little drier than I prefer, but warming them up helps a lot. I wouldn't eat them every day, but I'd buy them again when I'm craving something lemony to go with my morning coffee.
