First off ,wow where have I been all these years this place is a must for me. As a former master barista myself I understand the complexity and the values of this craft. I look forward to coming here every morning. If you want coffee options with a rich, balanced flavor with bright acidity and a lingering sweetness, showcasing a complex profile of citrus and floral notes with a smooth finish you will definitely want to stop here.

I stop in there every day before I go to work. Great coffee and great service. I had a cookie the other day that one of the baristas recommend, it was life- changing, good. Look forward to getting one again

I stopped here after my sons doctors appointment, I am not from the area and was honestly surprised. This may be some of the best coffee myself and husband have had. I got a hot pumpkin flavor and him a frozen mocha. It was not overly sweet, fake tasting, nor bitter. Pricing was reasonable. I am truly sad I'm an hour away from here because I would go more often. If you are looking for a good coffee you need to check this place out! I plan on making the hour drive again just to grab a coffee.

I have been coming here for years and it will be my go to as long as they’re open. The staff treat you like family and the coffee is top notch! If you don’t have a go to coffee shop, or even if you do, you should come to the Pony!

The best coffee in Moore county! I have tried a lot of vanilla lattes from different places but Pony Espresso is always consistent and delicious. Huge plus that they use organic coffee!! Staff is always friendly and quick and the drive thru makes life easier

Always stop here when I am in town. Service is very fast and the girls who work here are incredibly kind! Cant find a better smoothie anywhere. The only negative is that they close way too early!
