Whenever I travel I am always on the hunt for delicious spicy chai. My travels landed me in Southern 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. read more

See all

This place has great scones! But where is the breakfast sando? How do we not have a breakfast sando yet? Just toss me some bacon and egg on there. Maybe a slab of cheese. I feel like we are missing out on some big business here. read more

We loved this place enough to go back again the next day. Scones are warm and tasty, especially soft when fresh out of the oven. Coffee was also delicious. Service very friendly and atmosphere was cozy. The green goblin scone was fantastic! Give that one a try if you like mint. The blueberry white chocolate was also a favorite. We loved that you can also buy a frozen log to take home and make as a family- we got several! read more

The scones @ Pine Cone Cafe, are truly the best! Many creative & delicious choices & a variety of beverages as well. Staff, is friendly & helpful, atmosphere is casual, comfortable & even a cute & varied selection of gift items! It has become a must have at least twice a week for me! And they offer frozen dough & that will become a staple in our home...so I can enjoy anytime! read more

Freshly made sconces are light and airy yet moist. Prefer their coffee over other local options. Charming ambience. You can sit anywhere in the entire building, which encompasses a fabulous deli (Elliott's Provisions) and farm to table restaurant open in the evenings. read more

besides the scones i love there smoothies and the atmosphere is cool place to hang out and enjoy a break

Amazing, fresh scones. Good coffee, good service. Cute little atmosphere! The breakfast sandwiches don't like that appetizing so I never order them. But who cares, those scones are the real stars. And you can take them home and make your own breakfast sandwich with them! If you want;) read more

Best dirty chai. Cafe food is fantastic. I love the deli in the back. Unique offerings. Cut to order steaks. Fresh pastas looked awesome

Pine Scone Cafe - Pinehurst - Jalapeno cheddar scone with a cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pinehurst, North Carolina

The GF Scones were the best I have ever tasted! Thanks for taking care of the GF Customers. Cranberry Lemon was the BEST! Thank YOU!

The food is excellent as is the service. The gentleman at the coffee bar, who I believe is named Jacob, is incredibly warm and welcoming. He also hustles to make sure your order is what you want and that you get it in a timely manner. I can't recommend this café highly enough. read more

The coffee is great, the scones are amazing and the ambience is open yet cozy. Great place to meet up with a friend or two.

Food and coffee is delicious, great service, fun atmosphere and you can't top local charm! Great local gifts for sale as well!

Amazing scones. Moist with the right amount of crumble. Sweet or savory are both wins. And the honey chai tea is fantastic!

Cute little coffee cafe and deli! Service was great. Loved sitting in the comfy chairs for our morning coffee

Loved this little coffee shop. Delicious coffee and scones. Wonderful service. Comfortable seating area inside or small tables outside. They serve their coffee and scones with care! They sell their scone dough as well - was sorry could not bring some back on my flight home with me! read more

Here the earlier you visit the more options of scones. Staff is friendly and location is nice.

If I was a local this would be my go to breakfast spot. Delicious variety of scones made into yummy breakfast sandwiches. I'm looking forward to visiting again! read more

A frequent stop for coffee and scones one the way to work. All around gem. Never disappoints.

Nice selection of scones both ready to eat or frozen for you to take home and bake off. A few of the varieties available are: Chocoholic (Chocolate Scone with Dark & Semi-sweet ChocolateChips),Savory Cheddar Jalapeño and Cranberry Lemon. Paired with one of their hand crafted coffees or teas makes for a great start of the day. read more

First the barista was amazing !!! So helpful and truly amazing. The scones..... heaven on earth. We bought a variety and dig into them in the parking lot. Deliciousness . We also tried two of the seasonal drinks. One was maple and one was butterscotch. So good, so so good. They even have scone dough ? Pre packaged to take home and bake! We will be back read more

Love this place. Great scones, coffee and my sons favorite drinks. Love the local mech and service is always wonderful. Cute decor and cozy to sit and enjoy your food / coffee. Love the swing! read more

Delicious coffee - scones are sweet but yummy. Cute touristy gift shop if you need to get some things to bring home.

Wow is all I can say. I am a tea and scone fanatic and have bad them in London, Cotswolds, Prague, Alaska, and many places in between. I usually bake my own scones but while I was in the Pinehurst area I had to try Pine Scone Cafe. Well let me just say, if they were in the Raleigh area, I wouldn't have to bake my own all the time. The April in Paris tea was also amazing! Everything was so delicious and if you like tea and scones, you need to give Pine Scone Cafe a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Love this place awesome people awesome breakfast and awesome coffee! The outside seating is so cozy and lovely! Highly recommend:)

The best place for a sweet treat and a coffee! We set out to find this place as we love scones, we pulled up to see a Memorial Day deal for active duty military! As an active duty Marine Corps family, we were super appreciative for it. We ordered several scones and a coffee to share, then went back and purchased some locally made jewelry! This place is a MUST for the area. Thinking about going back again before we head home! read more

Pine Scone Cafe - Pinehurst - Home Sweet Scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pinehurst, North Carolina

A true neighborhood gem! Scones are perfection and the coffee is the best in Moore County!

Delicious Scones - I had the apricot/almond and my friends the blue berry and cinnamon chip - I would give it higher marks, but my drink was not correct, (suppose to be a macchiato @ $2.75) and although I took it back to the counter to ask them to make the correct drink, the lady apologized for the mixup - I sat down with my friends and 5 minutes later, a woman handed me the exact same drink; a CARAMEL macchiato ($4.75). We left; I threw out the drink. read more

Quite a lovely little jewel with little scones. The place is charming and continues back to ​a sort​ charcuterie-meat shop and a restaurant​ called Elliots? The scones were quite lovely, I make them at home so I'm very particular but they have great flavor and quite creative ingredients​ as well as fine coffee. A good​ place to get yourself together​ in the morning and afternoon. read more

Drove 20 minutes here for all the gluten free scones advertised on their menu only to find none when we got there at 8:00 AM. It felt misleading going to a coffee and scone place only to find they were out of things first thing in the morning. I understand there are kitchen limitations when preparing GF but be up front about it on your website, or add something like "call ahead for special dietary considerations." I asked about GF scones and the worker's response was "we don't have any right now" and offered no explanation until I asked why. So, I ordered a cranberry lemon scone and my wife went without. The scone was relatively small and I think someone forgot the lemon part, it tasted like a sugar biscuit with dried cranberries. Coffee was ok, but there are better options in the area. read more

Always a wonderful place to grab a coffee and a scone. They have a variety of flavors for scones. Make sure to get there early because once they run out of a flavor it is gone for the day. I have tried the White chocolate, the scallion parmesan, all varieties of fruit, and the jalapeño cheddar. I am more of a savory person so my favorite is the scallion Parmesan. I have not had a bad scone from this Café. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a must visit place on Pinehurst. read more

The scenes are fresh, warm, taste great and the staff is super attention and really customer forward, customer oriented. Stop by, you'll love it, as well as the ambience! read more

WOW, these are the best scones I've ever had. I was visiting Pinehurst and this Cafe was recommended. I'm still dreaming about the salted caramel scone. read more

Had some of their scones for breakfast this morning and they were amazing! We picked them up to go and it was easy to get in and out and we loved all the different scones we had. Cranberry lemons was superb, spinach Parmesan was terrific. If I have the chance to throw these bad boys in your gullet, don't pass up the opportunity! read more

It was 1:15 on a Sunday and we realized it was 20 minutes away. We rapidly jumped in the car to drive over and try it out. They were exceptionally nice considering we walked in 10 min prior to closing. We ordered two drinks, one being their egg nog latte (seasonal special) - very good, with oat milk. Then we tried two scones - a sweet and a savory. Both were very good. Super cute shop and really nice people. Will definitely go back when we are back in the area! read more

The savory scones are delicious and the coffee is made well. A nice spot to stop for breakfast if you have the time

Everything about this place is amazing. It is across the street from my grand daughter's preschool and the location is easy accessible. The staff is very friendly and professional. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfy. The scones are simply perfection in taste and texture. The flavors are delicious. We ordered 5 (Parmesan spinach, raspberry chocolate, cinnamon chip, chocolate and salted toffee caramel and traditional with jam and butter) different varieties and each was better than the next. The mocha was a smooth balance of coffee and chocolate. I wish I lived here so I could enjoy this place anytime. You won't be disappointed. read more

Bought a few mini scones, really liked the cinnamon chip. Took home a log of salted caramel dough to bake for Christmas morning. Awesome idea with different kinds to choose from, both sweet and savory. Can't wait to try some of the others. read more

Love this place. Environment is charming. Atmosphere is welcoming. I will definitely be back.....many more times
