Mmmm, pie.
On my little day trip to Chattanooga, I wanted to find a dessert or pastry to take home to share with my husband. It was getting late and I was also tired of walking around the city, so I wanted to find a place that I could drive to easily that would have accessible, free parking, and that was still open -- many bakecafes had already closed. A quick Yelp search revealed this place as a great option!
I scooted on over and walked inside. Very friendly staff members, super welcoming. The place was clean and smelled AMAZING! No real seating inside but that's okay.
They have a cooling drawer and a room temp drawer depending on the need of the pie. I'd say mostly dessert pies are available but they also have a nice selection of quiches and pot pies. Flavors/varieties rotate depending on the day. They'd sold out of a few varieties when I arrived, but I was still able to get plenty of yumminess.
They have a deal for four pies at a reduced cost so that's what I got! All pies are individual though you can preorder larger pies if you need one. Since I had the ~2 hour drive back home, I of course had to opt for non-refrigerated options.
I wound up with a lemon blueberry chess pie, a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, a regular pecan pie, and a chocolate chess pie. Seriously, they were all delicious! Somewhat surprisingly, I'd say my favorite was the regular pecan pie. Don't get me wrong, pecan pie is a beloved pie of mine...just thought it would go to something with chocolate. But the amount of sweetness, the ratio of gooey inside to nutty outside...just so good! Each pie had a delightfully buttery, flaky crust. You really can tell the difference -- they're the real deal.
Hubs and I split a mini pie each night for four nights and the quality really didn't suffer! I'd say they're the perfect size to split, though I'm sure I also could've devoured a whole one if left unattended, lol.
Would love to try more flavors in the future. If you're in the area, give...
Read moreI am so happy I finally made time to stop here. These pies were each as delicious as the last, and excellently made! I decided to try the cinnamon pecan, which I loved- the warm cinnamon flavor was a perfect compliment to classic pecan, and the pie crust is very good, nice and flaky. I also tried lemon chess which is one of my all time classic favorites, and it did not disappoint, perfect balance of sweet and tangy and great crust ratio. The other two I went for were the banana caramel, and oh my goodness... perfection! Cool and creamy pudding base with fresh banana and rich caramel and fluffy whipped cream and it hit all the right notes! And last but not least I took a gamble of one I knew could be hit or miss, and was so delighted with the outcome- the lavender cream. Anything solely lavender flavored can veer all to easily into the territory of grandma’s handkerchiefs, but I was so happily surprised with the perfect balance of it! Not too sweet, not too flowery, and shockingly it might be my favorite. Can’t...
Read moreThe pies were amazing for starters! We placed a large order for our wedding, and Sierra made the process so smooth. She was incredibly professional, helpful, and talented. She let us also borrow some stands for the desert display. When we first went and had a tasting, we knew we made the right choice within the first bite. All of our guests raved about the pies. We ordered 4 different types, both in tins and hand pies. What really took it over the top for me was when I went to pick the desserts up. I showed up Saturday morning (before open), and we began loading the car. I picked up the box of lavender cream pies, and bumped another! The pies spilled everywhere in the box! Sierra assured me it was ok, scooped ALL of the whipped cream off, and repiped them all hours before my wedding, so we still had a beautiful presentation. Recommend for an afternoon savory pie or dessert pies for lunch, brunch, events...
