On my Southern Pines chai hunt, discovered this warm & inviting little shop! The staff took the…read moretime to tell me about their chai: it's a house blend they described as, "herbal," not a masala chai, or what they'd consider "spicy." Now I'm a "no such thing as too spicy chai" kinda guy, but I also enjoy a unique house blend so I was on board. The chai was, indeed, herbal. Sweet, with a little spice and flowery notes. It drank warm, smooth, & calming...like a gentle morning hug. Like most teas in the area, the sweetness could be dialed back a bit, but overall, a lovely shop and beautiful, tasty chai.

They use a local roaster so not sure if it's authentically Colombian but still pretty good. The baristas are super efficient in dispatching orders and there's a separate seating area for you to enjoy inside if you prefer.

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.

I LOVE that I could get any drink iced which I never drink hot drinks. I had the hopscotch and it was amazing!! Will definitely be back!!!

I got the mango bingsu and it was TERRIFIC. The flavor is delicate and balanced. You can taste the mango, the shaved ice was soft and fluffy and the crunch from the toppings was a perfect combo. They also put boba pieces in it and the serving was huge! My sister and I couldn't finish the one. Also got a plain crouffle and it was the perfect sweetness. It comes in different flavors like Oreo, strawberry and red bean...along with other flavors. I highly recommend visiting this place for a sweet treat and a cold sweet treat. They have other desserts as well as lattes and matcha! The spot is also very clean and light. I would study here if I needed to. The place is comfortable!
