Worth the drive. BEST CUBAN PLACE in NC. Been to plenty of “Cuban” places in NC, nothing compares. It’s just like the places in Miami, my home town. I would definitely drive down every month for their food and coffee. Oh and their pastelitos are so flaky and filled with so many options… this place is a must if you visiting Moore County. 100%, hands down… the best.

The food here is AMAZING!!! The Lechon (Roasted Pork) was so tasty and the rice and beans with it made it perfect! And the sweet plantains...oh my! I am bringing my husband here because I know he'll love it too! Oh, and make sure to try the chicken empanada...so so good!!! And if that's not reason enough to try this place, the guy that took our order and waited on us was top notch! He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted...it was a perfect lunch!

I love Lynette’s! This is truly a wonderful bakery, and her cakes are fantastic! She created a beautiful & delicious cake for my son’s first bday & made me a birthday cake that was “modified”- gluten & dairy free. No one could tell the difference, it tasted great & was gorgeous. Lynette’s has my vote for best bakery in Moore County!

A hidden gem! We stopped for a quick bite at this charming bakery café and it was amazing. The counter staff was helpful, coffee hot and delicious, and food prepared quickly! We enjoyed the cubanito egg sandwich and the Cuban tuna melt. The café is pleasantly decorated and has a nicely set up outside dining area as well. They serve both breakfast and lunch while they’re open plus the bakery case is stocked with delights!

This is the cutest little Cuban cafe. It's located in a nice quiet little plaza. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and they have both indoor, and outdoor seating. There is a full menu consisting of breakfast, sandwiches, more traditional Cuban items, as well as a full assortment of baked goods.

We ordered the Cuban chicken plate with fried plantains, beef empanadas, papa rellena, and a cupcake. Everything tasted great, and the service was amazing, and we will definitely back!

My husband and I got Cuban sandwiches (to go) for lunch. Also maduros (fried sweet plantains). Everything was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. There are a few tables outside. Inside tables are spaced comfortably apart. Can't wait to go there for breakfast sometime. Their pastries look scrumptious.

Real Cuban food! The Miami Cuban Tamale was extremely delicious! The mini empandas are a great size to be able to try different flavors. Serving sizes are good for the price.

The first time I tried this place was with Door Dash. It was delicious! Today we came to eat inside. You must order at window outside before coming in. Very clean, social distancing enforced as well as wearing masks. Authentic Cuban food, highly recommend!

Went to Lynettes for the first time on Tuesday. I haven't been this impressed in a long time. I used to live in South Florida and haven't had a real Cuban coffee in years. This one was perfect. Right sweetness and they had the little cups to go with it. I ordered 8 cinnamon rolls for my family for Christmas eve and they went crazy for them. No one makes them better.

Having grown up in the Tampa Bay area, where there are several authentic Cuban restaurants, we were so glad to find Lynette’s. It’s run by a wonderfully friendly Cuban family, and the food is authentic and delicious. All they need is some garbanzo & chorizo soup. The café con leché was made perfectly. Riquisimo!!

Cuban was good. Nice amount of mustard and pickles and meat. Pretty friendly service. Pleasant little shady outside area to eat. Make sure you don't need to use a restroom - none available no matter what even with big tip

Definitely head up to Aberdeen for lunch where Lynette's is if you're down in Scotland which was crowded chains (on the day I was there). Use gas station down the street for restroom if you must :}

Love this little hidden gem... I cannot pronounce the coffee that I get but it's delicious! We have been going after school and giving cupcakes my favorite is the Cuban coffee cupcake. They are always friendly and it offers a nice atmosphere.

I was shocked to find a semi-Cuban place in such a desolate place. I asked if the croquettes were homemade​ instead of the frozen kind that you find in Publix and the lady said they were homemade​e BUT they sure tasted like the frozen ones to me. I ordered four and threw away three. I ordered a roast pork sandwich and being from Miami​, I'm used to a super-duper​ one but I got a mediocre one which​ did not taste bad but it wasn't anything to Salsa dance about. The rest of the stuff looked ok. I supposed to the fine folks of Aberdeen, they are going to try something new and hopefully

This review is long overdue. We ordered a special birthday cake with "The Flash" theme for my son's birthday. He was absolutely thrilled and the cake tasted amazing...moist and they did not skimp on the strawberry preserve filling. Everyone at the party commented on how excellent the cake was! We were really pleased with the experience we had. A few days later, Lynette called us to make sure the cake was everything we expected. What amazing customer service and talent! We love this bakery and how sweet the owner is. They will always have our business.

Stopped in to grab a quick breakfast to go on Saturday morning. Ordered 2 Cubano stuffed biscuits-filled with pork, ham, and pickles. They were delicious. I also got a pastelito filled with beef. Again, very tasty. The lady helping me "twisted my arm" into grabbing a croquette filled with ham and cheese. Awesome crispy outside and a light melted concoction of goodness inside. For the sweets lovers in my house, I got the cream cheese pastelito and the cream cheese and guava pastelito. Very light and airy. I'll definitely be back!

Lynette's has the BEST COFFEE CUPCAKES AND PASTRYS! The atmosphere is great and Lynette herself is very knowledgeable regarding French and Cuban Cuisine. Her cupcakes stay moist for days. Everything is baked fresh daily. Her custom Havana 1957 coffee is fantastic and I can't wait until she bags it! Try it out!

So glad there's a Cuban bakery in the Pinehurst area! Tried the Cuban and Pork sandwich, both good. Standouts, however, were the small empanadas, spicy chicken, beef and spinach. The cafecito perfect, short, strong and slightly sweet! Will definitely try the sweet pastries next time.

Outstanding Cuban Coffee! Had the coffee roll (recommend) with the Cortadito (highly recommend) -- a great combo. They make their stuff at 2 am every morning so it tastes fresh. Go here!

I kept hearing things and seeing posts about this new bakery so I stopped in to check it out. I just had to try the key lime cupcake and I have to say it's probably the best cupcake I've had a very long time! Very moist and dense it's just the right amount of sweet frosting. I will be back!
