Poppy's - Pinehurst

Did you know that a large café au lait with a single flavor shot costs over $10? Well, it does here. While I was getting our coffee, my husband and I couldn't help but admire the muffins and rolls on display. So, when the cashier rang up my order and said the total was $9 and change, I assumed my husband had ordered something before stepping outside. But when she mentioned she forgot to add the charge for the flavored syrup, the total jumped to $10.04. I left a $2 tip, grabbed my coffee, and went to join my family outside. I then asked my husband what he had ordered, and he said he hadn't ordered anything. Upon hearing how much I paid for a SINGLE CUP OF COFFEE, he immediately went back inside to see why it was so pricey, thinking there must have been a mistake. The cashier explained that the coffee itself was $3.75, but the flavor shot was an astonishing $7.00.

This is a fantastic little spot to take a break while shopping in The Village. The owners are wonderful, and they even make their own ice cream. Everything here is homemade, making it a great place to visit.
