A new east-side bakery has taken the iconic Canadian cocktail and turned it into a (booze-free) scone. Sugar Loaf (named after Brazil’s Pão de Açúcar—both owners are Brazilian-born) in Riverside sells South-American specialities and non-traditional treats like guava croissants and piña colada bars. Savoury lunch items include house-made soup, salads in jars and pizza. The drink menu lists teas and lattes, and soon (pending the liquor license approval) mimosas and bellinis.

Nutella (left) and caesar (right) scones. The cocktail-flavoured number is made with Worcestershire sauce, horseradish and celery seeds, then drizzled with a Clamato glaze. $3.20 each.
