The idea for Sconebox was sparked after the Boyle sisters Jennifer, Geraldine and Michelle, of Café Créme in Bearsden noticed that some of their older customers were unable to visit the shop due to poor health.

Earlier this summer, the trio launched the service to deliver scone tea party boxes. They had anticipated it having local demand but they have been surprised by the many requests from further afield and from younger people.

Geraldine said: “Within months, Sconebox has caught on and the café is sending boxes as far away as America, Germany and Ireland. We also did a pop-up event at Princes Square in Glasgow and people were buying four or five boxes at a time, which was lovely.

“We are really taken aback by how popular it has become so quickly and among all ages of customers.”

SconeBox includes a range of different flavoured scones, jams and tea or coffee for four people, as well as a baking utensil, recipes, napkins, entertainment tips and a surprise sweet treat.

The price for one box is £15.95 per month, although customers can also take a longer subscription and receive personalised gift options.

Geraldine said: “The feedback has been great and customers have been suggesting other things they would love to be included in the boxes. We plan to develop the service and offer different Sconebox products and not just subscription items."
