In North Carolina, you can board the Rolling Brunch Train taking place on the very stylish “Magenta Train” with the Aberdeen Carolina & Western Railway, where you’ll ride between Pinehurst and Aberdeen while enjoying brunch, drinks, and a fun onboard setting. The train is called the Magenta Train because ACWR’s fleet is known for its bold magenta paint, making it stand out before you ever step inside. Once aboard, expect polished railcar charm, rich color, comfortable seating, and a social brunch feel with pretty food displays, passed and stationed bites, and one complimentary mimosa included with your ticket. Guests can also buy alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, visit the Bloody Mary bar, or mix a mimosa with signature flavors. The ride is hop-on, hop-off style, so you can board in Pinehurst or Aberdeen and ride between the two stations during the event. These brunch trains run a few times each month in summer, with dates listed through early October. The next one not already sold out appears to be September 12, so book through ACWR before it fills too fast if you'd like to join!

From the very beginning, community has meant everything to us. When we opened almost nine years ago, we were just getting our footing—and Cactus Creek was right there beside us. They didn’t just help us choose coffee; they took the time to understand our vision and helped us bring it to life. Together, we created three blends that are still exclusive to High Octane today, and that means more to us than words can say.

As a veteran-owned business, their values, work ethic, and commitment to others have always shown through. Even now, nearly a decade later, they continue to support us in ways big and small.

To us, community isn’t just a word—it’s relationships like this. It’s choosing to lift each other up, support local, and grow together so that our entire county can thrive. And we’re so grateful to be on that journey with businesses like Cactus Creek.
