Once upon a beautiful Sandhills morning, Rae Anne Kinney was headed to a local coffee shop for a latte but was craving her favorite pastry pairing, a scone. Out of the clear blue Carolina sky the name “Pine Scones” popped into her head. The name was so compelling, it led to the creation of her unique, award winning scone recipes. Today, people rave about them and are willing to drive from a distance to get Sconed!

Rae Anne began Pine Scones of the Sandhills as a home-based artisan bakery in July of 2009. Her freshly baked scones were delivered to local coffee shops, directly to customers, and sold at Moore County Farmers Markets. Over time, Pine Scones outgrew her home operation and in March of 2016 the first retail store was opened in Pinehurst, NC. The second, larger location in Southern Pines, NC makes it possible to share our award winning Pine Scones with an even broader community. Our motto: “Everybody Must Get Sconed!”

On behalf of all of us at Pine Scone Café, we hope you enjoy visiting us as much as we enjoy serving you!
