Cactus Creek Gourmet Coffee
Local roaster in Aberdeen that supplies beans to shops across the area. The sleeper pick.
Most visitors skip Aberdeen entirely, which is a mistake. Cactus Creek roasts locally and supplies beans to other shops in the area, including BRIM in Pinehurst. They’re the quiet backbone of the local coffee scene.
Good coffee, laid-back spot, and a nice reason to explore a town that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Five minutes from Pinehurst — if you’re driving through anyway, stop in.
