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.

If I'm ever back, I would want to stop in for a coffee and sit down. I grabbed an egg and cheese croissant to go. It was good and hit the spot. It was a bit expensive, but it is a coffee shop.

Sat quickly at one of the last open tables and our waitress got us coffee quickly. Fried bologna special? Husband had to have it but went with wheat toast instead of the biscuit. I got the hobo special which was all the meats scrambled into eggs with a side of grits. Sis in law got simple breakfast and said biscuit was amazing. Can't beat the price for some simple down home cooking!

My group of 4 brought ample cash and enjoyed our food. The main dining area was full so we were seated in the overflow behind the kitchen. Table service was slow as they were busy. Three (based on what I saw) servers on duty that day. Pack some patience and enjoy your trackside meal. I chose their Horseman's Special which comes with two eggs, a meat option, and two pancakes. I chose their signature blueberry and added grits. I recommend saving one of the pancakes. It reheats well at home.

The service was quick and and the barista took my order and made my drink incredibly quick. I got the caramel turtle and boy what a good combination of flavors. Honestly the best part of the coffee is the option of coffee ice. I've never seen a shop offer this before, and it makes the coffee amazing the entire time. Definitely will be coming back next time I come down this way.

First through the door when the "open" sign was lit at 5:30 am and a very nice woman took my coffee order. I had a blueberry muffin to go with it and then spent the next three hours with my laptop on this Monday morning. Wifi worked fine and while pounding out emails and attending a quick Zoom call, I watched a steady flow of regular customers coming and going. The drive through also remained busy.

They have an area for kids to play which gives you parents a chance to relax. So far, my favorite place in Sanford. It's a must try if you are passing through.

You walk in and you can definitely tell it is a family run business. But everyone was so friendly. The cases were stocked with all sorts of goodies and they even had some prepackaged goodies too!. The rugelach was amazing and I've had it fresh from Israel. I'd drive all the way from Raeford for the rugelach alone! We had the cannoli and holy moly that was tasty. It's nice to have a great bakery relatively close.
