Could vegan scones be actually edible?

Recently I have been on a coffee kick. It is very strange, I wake up in the morning and all I can think and crave is a little cup of espresso. I grew up drinking coffee, I used to love coffee, until one day I realized that coffee did not make me feel well: it makes me jittery, hyper, a nervous wreck and when drank in large quantities gives me the worst headache ever. So about ten years ago I stopped drinking coffee. However, after a couple of trips to the Old World, I couldn't resist it anymore.

Anyway, this past week I had a little cup of espresso at Sweetleaf LIC and tried their vegan chocolate chip scone. Ever since then I've been obsessed about trying to make my own.
