Nice bakery and cafe in the village shopping area…read more Very busy and matches pinehurst's type of shop. It isn't as welcoming as other shops but they were busy so it may be better during the week. Coffee souring is good but not done in house. Pastries many choices for pastries but a little disappointing. They suggested them to be warmed and it was still cold. Tasted good but warmed it would have been better and fresh strawberries would have really made it amazing

Whenever I travel I am always on the hunt for delicious spicy chai. My travels landed me in…read moreSouthern Pines for a few days and the first coffee shop I stumbled into was the Pine Scone Cafe. This is a cute little shop situated inside Elliot's Provisions. While the scones looked amazing, I was on a mission for chai. The friendly barista informed me they have a few choices: a powdered chai (hard pass) and two choices of chai concentrate- sweet or spicy. The concentrate brand was, "Sanctuary Chai" which I've never tried, and the blend was "Spicy Honey Chai" so I figured it'd have that honey-sweet tang and hopefully a good hit of spice. I was correct on the honey-sweetness, but the spice level was on the lower end of the spiciness scale. Maybe it needed to be shook before being mixed, the milk:chai ratio was off, or it's just not that spicy. All-in-all, a passable chai but not really memorable nor craveable. The shop is cozy-cute, the staff are fast, friendly, and welcoming, but the chai is just meh. I regret not ordering a scone.

It's nice to have a great bakery relatively close.

C. Cups Cupcakery: Although two locations currently exist, the original shop opened in Southern…read morePines in 2011. I happened to visit the second location in downtown Pinehurst. The shop offers a myriad of unique cupcake varieties. As much as I would have liked to try them all, my wallet and waistline are probably glad I didn't. The following is the description and my thoughts on the varieties I tried. Dulce de Leche: Tres leches cake, vanilla buttercream, caramel. The vanilla buttercream was thick and flavorful, but the caramel was a little messy and not as strong a flavor as I hoped. As for the cupcake itself, it reminded me of one of the final bites of a stack of pancakes that has been sitting in syrup for a long time and has become soggy. This one was just okay. Salted Caramel: Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, rich caramel and sea salt. Even though I prefer vanilla to chocolate, I found this to be a step up from the Dulce de Leche. Again the buttercream was thick and flavorful and the caramel was a little messy. This time around the caramel had more flavor thanks to the addition of sea salt. I think the salted caramel flavor could have been stronger though, so this one is also just okay. Monster Cookie: Peanut butter cake, cookie dough icing, oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms. My Dad actually got this one but was nice enough to let me try a little. The peanut butter flavor of the cake is mild, but still satisfying since there's so much other stuff going on flavor wise. It's most unique aspect is the cookie dough icing that has a slightly gritty texture thanks to all the crystallized sugar. A dash of chocolate flavor is contributed by the chocolate chips and M&Ms, while the texture of the oats is also noticeable. Doughboy approved. PB&C: Chocolate cake, peanut butter icing, Reese's crumbles. This was my favorite cupcake of the batch. The peanut butter icing delivered a fully packed peanut butter flavor that was only intensified by the Reese's crumbles. Personally, I would have preferred it on a vanilla cupcake and that the Reese's crumbles covered all and not just half. Still very good and Doughboy approved. Brownie: Lastly, I couldn't leave without trying a brownie. C. Cup's version is mostly chewy with chocolate chunks within it. The exterior/edges are crispier and more cake like, but the interior is softer and chewier (which is how I like it). I wish it would have had some chocolate frosting to top it off or powdered sugar at the least. Although it's not the best brownie I've had (I still would argue that would be the ones I make) it is still delicious. Doughboy approved. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

New to the area, looking for delicious baked goods and teas…read more Stopped in before shopping at the antique store next door and I've been back a few times since. I've had a Moroccan Tea, a Chai Tea, an Oolong Tea, Farmhouse Chicken Salad and Pimiento Cheese that they sell in containers from inside the case, too many different kinds of cookies than I dare to admit, and a few slices of their standard cheesecake. The cookies are amazing. But it's the cheesecake that keeps me coming back. The cheesecake and the chicken salad actually. Both are divine but the cheesecake is the best I've ever had and I highly recommend it. Service behind the counter is always pleasant, professional and speedy. The vibe is almost goth but it's darling and whimsical and clean. Im a repeat customer for as long as I'm in the area.

Experience: I had an amazing experience relaxing here on a road trip, but I think I ordered all the wrong items, I need a do over to try savory foods and tea that I love. I didn't want to say anything because the servers were so sweet. I ordered a Secret Garden tea iced, and I think that was my first mistake, it wasn't steeped long enough before it was iced so it was super bland. I'm used to making super strong teas. My husband had a delicious earl grey that I shared with him. We also ordered the cornbread cookie and the black and white to split, and even though they were beautiful, they were too sweet for us. We will try the savory pastries or sandwiches next time, I'm convinced we just didn't order the right things for us. Can't wait to come back one day, this spot is gorgeous.
