# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly incorporated.
03 - Add cold cubed butter and cut into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk coffee, cream soda, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
05 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; dough should be slightly sticky.
06 - Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick round.
07 - Use a floured biscuit cutter or knife to divide dough into 12 wedges or rounds.
08 - Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Mix coarse sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over each scone.
09 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10 - Allow scones to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
