Granny's Pie Factory — Restaurant in East Hartford

I came here about 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I look young for my age, especially a decade ago. The elderly woman who I assumed was the owner was so belittling and absolutely patronizing me, making comments about how I can’t be old enough to have kids. She wasn’t being friendly in any manner. I was ordering and said “I’ll take a small Swiss almond chocolate (or whatever it was) then immediately said actually no, I’ll switch that to pumpkin instead” and she goes “nope, they already started making it” I literally switched it with a breath in between, she didn’t even punch the order into the computer, but again, this was about her just being demeaning. I went to pay for the pie that I was now stuck with and she sees me pull out my card and goes “oh no sweetie, we don’t accept card, cash only” they absolutely accepted card, it was just MY card she wouldn’t accept. She told me there was a Bank of America on the School St Plaza (now Dunkin) and she made me go and get cash. Honestly I don’t know why I bothered to come back for it, if that happened now I would have just left and not come back. But…since that was so long ago, I decided to give them another try recently. They accepted my card this time and the new staff working the register was much friendlier and much more pleasant than that elderly woman. I ordered 3 pies and they were just not worth the price in my opinion. The they were okay, they were not great and they cost more than I would ever like to spend...

If you're searching for the best banana creme pie in the area, look no further than Granny's Pie Factory! I stopped in recently in search of the best banana creme pie for my father-in-law and ended up leaving with one for my family, as well (Spoiler alert: we ALL loved the pie!).

Granny's Pie Factory's banana creme pie is pure perfection; from the flaky, buttery crust, a layer of fresh sliced bananas, smooth, luscious pudding filling made in house, and a freshly whipped cream on top. Every bite is rich with real banana flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. It's comfort food at its finest, and honestly, it's worth a special trip (I live over 30 minutes away). One slice and you’ll understand why locals and visitors alike can’t stop raving. In addition, Granny's Pie Factory has a ton of pies to choose from, so if you're a pie lover, this place is a must-try! Head there now.

I also want to shout out the sweet owner who was so kind to add a special and beautiful bow and ribbon and card to my father-in-law's pie; she was so kind and welcoming and again, my father-in-law loved everything so much, he had two slices...

Haven't been to the actual location, purchased some slices at the Cromwell Farmers Market and ohhh mahhh gawwwwd! I'm not a fan of chocolate cream pie at all and he gave me a sample. We walked away after buying Peach Blueberry slices. I gave it a try and I realized I've just never eaten a good chocolate cream pie. The crust is thick and buttery and the filling was thick chocolate not like a gelatinous pudding. The cream was homemade thick and not too sweet. We immediately went back and tried to get some but he was sold out. So we got the last Swiss almond chocolate and it was incredible. Thin sliced, toasted almonds piled high with a few chocolate chips and a chocolate drizzle. Will definitely be placing an...
