Walking into Pine House Cafe for the first time was like stumbling into a hidden forest lodge after a long hike—the scent of pine and freshly brewed coffee hit me instantly, wrapping me in this warm, earthy hug. I\it\the flaky pastry shatters at the first bite, giving way to velvety cream cheese and tender fish sourced from nearby rivers. It\it\it\her smile as bright as the flames. We ended up talking about nothing and everything, from her college dreams to my own travels, and in that exchange, the cafe transformed from a pitstop to a refuge. It\I\you could discover a piece of yourself in the quiet corners and hearty bites.
