Erik CintronOctober 24, 2013Cool little spot all about pies and loved the rustic feel to it. So sit eat your pie & order coffee.You can see the exotic pies being made that you can buy per slice. They pear bourbon was yummy!!
Nat HarwardDecember 21, 2013Salted Caramel Apple Pie: "If you must commit to just a single slice (mistake!), the lattice-topped caramel apple is a reliable regular on the seasonally updated menu, and won’t let you down." Read more
Best pies I've ever had. They've got killer staples (pumpkin, apple, etc) and always some surprises. You can't go wrong dropping in for a slice and a coffee or grabbing a couple pies for a holiday,
Liz DellMarch 22, 2015All. The. Pies. Get a few different slices to share. The seasonal flavors are always unique and worth a try. It's all about that butter crust. Their other confectionery treats are delicious as well!
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013Butter-crusted pies with fillings that are more hipster than Great Plains Grandma in style and substance. We adore their chocolate oatmeal pie, plus anything double-crusted with apple or rhubarb.
Strawberry streusel pie is incredible. Apple rhubarb was something I never had before and I dug it. Literally can't go wrong with any menu choice you make.
The Corcoran GroupJune 17, 2013You won't know what you've been missing until you've tried one of their salted pie slices. Salty Honey or Salted Caramel Apple Pie -- can't go wrong either way. Your stomach will thank you.
Alexander LogronoJanuary 5, 2016The pies here are so amazing, I make the trek all the way from NJ to have some of their pies, on the occasion when I stay at Shelter island I make the extra effort to visit the other location!
Jackie LamSeptember 15, 2013I love the music and the ambiance. But most important of all, I love their pies! The amazing smell of pie wafts towards you when you walk into the cafe. The Salty and Honey pie was amazing!
Daniel GraysonJune 11, 2018Good pie, nice drinks, and a chill atmosphere if you’re looking for a spot to use WiFi and a laptop on a weekday.
Kimberly AginDecember 19, 2014Very cute little place that smells amazing, has great coffee, and some of the best pie I've ever had. Salted Caramel Apple is a classic, pumpkin and lemon pies were great too.
Quaint little place for a slice of pie and cup of coffee. The salted caramel apple is to die for. Salted honey and pumpkin pie are good runner-ups. Order an extra slice to go. You'll thank me later
Sonny KwokMarch 14, 2017Pie, and pie, and more pie, actually, just the crust is enough for me, even after a couple of days, its still good. Also they serve stumptown there
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014You can expect pies like blood orange and rhubarb or plumb crumble in the summer, salted caramel apple in the fall, dark chocolate and dried cherry in winter and pear ginger in spring. Read more
Ryan SchmuklerMarch 22, 2015Pie so good you'll want to stand on the tables and sing about it. Ask the staff for their recommendations, they've never let me down. Free refills on the ~$2 coffee
The salted caramel apple pie is delicious. Don't try and split one slice between two people. Feelings will get hurt.
Emily ScheerDecember 19, 2016Everything is great but the menu is constantly changing (changed over entirely while I sat there for 2 hours). So don't go in set on anything!
Joanna FlammFebruary 21, 2011Delicious pies made with the best local ingredients. Eating here is like having a great slice of pie in your grandma's kitchen. I had the Cranberry Sage with whipped cream, yum!
KarenJune 2, 2016If you like green tea you will love the matcha pie - beautiful color and great flavor that is not too sweet but totally a treat!
Sarah Eli.March 26, 2013Try the Salted Caramel Apple pie! Goes so well with a dollop of whip cream! Couldn't help but ask for seconds! Try it with their freshly brewed coffee. Mmm... (:
Donna McJuly 1, 2013Tourist tip: Black Bottom Oat - It's like a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie dressed up as a pie. Say yes to the real whipped cream on the side!
- These are the best pies in the world. Have them ALL. Not just one. ALL, as in try every single pie they offer.
Some of the best pie in the city. Their coffee is great too. Go here before going to a show at the Bell House. However, mind that they close earlier than you'd think, at 7 PM on most days.
nikkiDecember 12, 2016oh, how can you ever go wrong here? crusts taste like love, and communal dining tables amid intimate and window bar seating add to the warm and homey feel.
Nathalie TorresOctober 25, 2017Good coffee. Got a ham & cheese brioche. Sweet bread, comes cold. Heating it up there takes a while and not too warm when it's done. Just saying
They make the whipped cream in house, best place in the city for a con panna 👌
Alexandra JenkinsSeptember 30, 2014Delicious salted apple pie. Iced coffee rocked too, and the service was super friendly, helpful, and quick :)
Food NetworkNovember 20, 2014You'll want to devour the Salted Caramel Apple pie as soon as you smell it at this cozy Brooklyn pie shop. Read more
It's known to have the best pies But the cookies are fantastic especially the chocolate
Obviously the pie is amazing, but the scones are really great too. They aren't too hard and the flavors are spot on.
Lauren HansenMarch 29, 2015Love this place!! Pies are so outstandingly delicious, the hardest part is picking just one slice out of their tasty options. Nom.- Morgan RoderickOctober 22, 2015I had to get a copy of their cook book for my collection. The Salted Caramel Apple Pie was glorious. Might have to re-visit once more on this trip, to try another pie.
Cynthia LinNovember 24, 2017The best thing about these amazingly fresh pies is that they’re not overly sweet! And staff is amazing
Any of the pies are great, but they're best known for their salted caramel apple pie.
Miju CJanuary 23, 2015Lemon and caramel apple pies (winter seasonal selection) are sensational. My mouth is crying out of happiness as we speak. 👌👌
Emily WilsonSeptember 2, 2015The pie crust is reminiscent to a croissant in its perfect flakiness. Try the nectarine if they have it!- Serious EatsApril 23, 2013Our favorites? Anything double-crusted involving rhubarb or apple; a buttermilk chess pie; the grapefruit custard.
CristaFebruary 17, 2017Nice atmosphere, though seating is limited and usually full. Pie is great. We also purchased the cookbook which is fantastic.
SabrinaJune 18, 2015The salted caramel apple pie was pretty good, but wish the caramel and salt flavors were stronger. Pre-order and pickup was super easy and convenient!
Lauren BastianApril 14, 2016Actually the best pie I've ever had... If you're serious about pie, come here! Black bottom oat was my fave
PAugust 18, 2014Besides those delicious pies this chocolate chocolate cookie is worth losing your teeth!
GabyAugust 28, 2015Heavenly-buttery crust. Some of the best pies I've ever had. Stumptown coffee is always a win.
You can't go wrong with anything here, try something you wouldn't normally see- like strawberry balsamic.
Evonne CNovember 16, 2012My husband loves the savory pies n such. Their pumpkin pie this year is spot on amazing, better than last year's by a mile!
Social News NetworkNovember 30, 2013Great coffee bar and bakery. For the pie lovers, you can never go wrong with the classic Apple Pie.
Andrew ChoiFebruary 11, 2015The pie menu changes quite often, but stick around until your clothes smell like pie. I repeat: until your clothes smell like pie.
Guido DittoAugust 18, 2013Cheer up a little, cash register man; you work at a pie shop, not a morgue. With each time I come, I get more and more convinced to buy prepackaged pies from the market next time and skip the hype.
