The Pie Maker Bakery — Restaurant in Cortez

This bakery is a hidden breakfast gem.

I stumbled in expecting the usual pastries—but what I found? Culinary magic.

They’ve got this biscuit wrap that sounds insane on paper: mashed potatoes, garlic, wrapped in a fluffy, golden biscuit. I almost didn’t order it. Almost.

But wow. One bite and I was in disbelief. It was warm, savory, rich in flavor, and ridiculously satisfying. Comfort food meets gourmet in the best way. It shouldn’t work… but it absolutely does.

Every item we tried was handmade, hearty, and full of flavor. You can tell they don’t cut corners—this is real food made by people who care.

If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and grab breakfast here. Come hungry—you’ll leave...

The molasses cookies were awesome, and the peanut butter cookies deserve a big glass of milk! Excellent customer care and...

Delicious!!! Go you won't regret it! We had three plus pies at this place and everything was fabulous!! Strawberry rhubarb with a crumb top that melts in your mouth, blueberry apricot(yummy!), and lemon pucker a delicious version of the bottom of a lemon meringue. They also have coffee on nitro. The owner was so sweet and knowledgeable. Full disclosure- they are a small place so sit with someone you might not know. They rotate their pie selection. Small and quaint it may take a few minutes to get your food. If you go here you are gaurenteed to have delicious food that makes your mouth happy that you chose to...
