Pie Dreams has had a solid following before they opened their brick and mortar store. If you've never ordered a pie dreams pie before check their IG or website so you won't end up disappointed coming in on a day they aren't open or after they sell out! They do a great job of keeping their IG stories up to date with what they're sold out of/what's available on any given day.They sell an assortment of hand pies, sliced pies, and whole pies (in varying sizes). While I enjoy all their pies the crust is really outstanding in their sliced pie/whole pie variations. The hand pie crust seems to differ a little and is a bit lighter for ideal buttery goodness get the regular pies!As far as savory pies go my favorites have been the cheeseburger pie and the lobster pie! Do not skip out on these if they are available. For sweet I really enjoy any of their berry flavors!Service is great it's the actual owner working there he clearly is very invested in his pies and values his customers feedback!

Sweet dreams are really made of pies and this place does not disappoint! Honestly, that crust is legit to die for. Flakey, buttery, and flavorful. I NEED THAT RECIPE!This spot recently opened up by my house and I had to try it out. I ended up getting the Apple Pie because my husband LOVES this flavor so we had to compare to some other spots and I was also intrigued by the Banana Black Sesame. Both were incredible! Full of interesting flavors and textures, and oh ya... did I mention the CRUST?! Sorry I still have that crust on my brain.I ordered a slice of each, but I think next time I will order a full pie. I recommend ordering beforehand because I always see a line in front of this place. Maybe it was because of the holidays, but you don't want to miss out on these!

I've never considered myself a pie person. When presented with other dessert options, pies were always a last resort. Well, that is until I tried Pie Dreams. Pie Dreams takes your average pie to the next level. I've realized the reason why I never liked pies was that I've just never had a good one! I've tried grocery store, big box retailer, and even some bakeries ... they were all simply inferior. And I realized why - none of these places specialized in pies!! Enter Pie Dreams. So aptly named. It's the pie of your dreams and in your dreams. I had doubts when I first saw their pies, what a thick and bulky crust! And I was soo wrong. That crust (when brought closer to room temperature) is just the flakiest, crispiest, lightest, and butteriest. As for flavors:- Black sesame banana - this sounds crazy, and it sounds like it would never ever work. OH, but it DOES. This was the first pie I had from here, and it changed everything. I also hatee bananas in my desserts, but this was simply heavenly. Delicate, not too sweet, and a perfect marriage of flavors.- French silk - I mean... just imagine eating the silkiest and creamiest chocolate and pair that with an incredible crust. This was a bit sweet for me, but still delicious.- Matcha strawberry - the pairing of flavors here, again, are 10/10! The matcha filling was quite thick, almost like a cheesecake consistency? It did help keep the slices of pie intact. The thin layer of strawberry jam brought a juicy tang. Overall, the ideal - sweet, but not *too* sweet. - Pumpkin - a classic flavor, with an extra spicy twist (not like hot spicy, but the fall spices were extra prominent in a way that I enjoyed)

Been in twice within this past year and call me impressed. I would actually get this more but they're only open on the weekends for just a handful of hours each day, so a bit tough for me to remember that they are there. Super small store, basically just a pick up table. They are a craftsman type of pie making and each week they will only make about 5-6 types of pies. I think their website will tell you which pies will be available that week. But in both times I've gone, I just randomly picked a couple, even ones that aren't in my wheelhouse, and they have always been surprisingly great. There is true craftsmanship in these pies which makes them levels above any commercial version.You can get pies whole or by the slice. Slices are about $7-$8 per and whole pies are definitely a tad over $40. So not cheap, but again this is not your typical mass produced bakery stuff like from Marie Calender's or Costco, this is on another level. They also have savory pies as well, which may be on my horizon.Generalities: Their crust is deliciously buttery. Totally reminds me of french pastries but this is a true American pie crust, rustic and dense. They will hand you pies that are straight from the fridge, so it is cold. I found out that their crust should be served more room temp as when cold, due to the butter, is crazy hard and not ideal. Much better at a warmer temp as the crust softens a bit and the butter is more meltingly. Whatever filling you choose will be almost perfect in texture and in flavor balance. I've never had pies this well thought out as pies are usually done by grandmas and family cooks, not so much chefs. Here a chef's touch is in play, even though I don't know their history. Apple Caramel: Not your goopy canned apples. Fresh sliced apples hold their texture beautifully and not overly sweet nor spiced. Drizzled with a caramel sauce that clings and topped with a slightly crunchy streusel topping. I've never seen an apple pie slice this clean, like it totally holds its shape. Amazement.Berry Custard: What was in my head totally was not what I got... in a good way. The berries mostly blackberry or oliaberry cuz of the color were kinda pureed and held together by a bindner so it doesn't ooze out, the slice actually holds its sliced shape. Then a thin custard layer goes on top to give it a creamy contrast which was money. And the berry filling wasn't super tart nor sweet, perfectly balanced. Again blown away.Pecan Pie: I love Pecan Pies but most are too sweet for me. Even though this was gooey from molasses and other sweetners, the balance of nuts to sweet were spot on. Key LIme Pie: I'm sure most people have not had a legit key lime pie. Key Limes are the key and they are those small round limes that are grown in tropical climates. They are a total different flavor than regular limes, it is more floral with a sweeter/tart balance. This tasted like real key limes to me. And again the balance of sweet to tart was perfect. Now the pies here are rich, like I can eat a slice in 2 servings. Can't say that the masses can appreciate the difference here, but I sure can. Great local score that I need to remember when they are available.

Delicious earl grey pie and super friendly service!!! I got an extra pineapple coconut handpie for a friend and the staff was very patient and understanding when I was asking about ingredients and allergens. I'm not often in the area during their opening hours but definitely will try to swing by whenever I can to try their seasonals and other flavors!!

This was my second visit to try out new flavors of this pie shop. I first found out about this shop through Instagram and decided to come back when I saw they had key lime pie and strawberry mango pie! They ran out of the peach hand pie that I also wanted to try, unfortunately, but hopefully they'll have it again next time. The key lime pie was just the right amount of tart and was finished so quickly. I never had a strawberry mango pie before and was pleasantly surprised. I knew the flavor combination should be good and was happy that it worked in the pie. They seem to have rotating flavors that they announce on their Instagram, making it easy to know what they're serving. It's a small but cute shop and I can't wait to go back. Definitely go earlier so they don't sell out of what you want!

Decided to pick up some pies last minute for Thanksgiving. Their pre orders was already closed for pick up but we're still open to walk ins as first come first serve. Came Wednesday morning like 59 mins before they opened. I was second in line ans the line grew as time went by. The owner was joking with us, he was very welcoming. They even put out coffee from Peets in case anyone waiting in line wanted something to drink. Got the French Silk chocolate and key lime pies. Both looked and tasted great and everyone enjoyed them.

In my honest opinion, the best dessert ever invented was pie. Controversial opinion, I know, but I stand by it!Anyway, Pie Dreams had some GREAT pie flavors. I got slices of the strawberry mango and apricot frangipane, and LOVED them, especially the frangipane. I'm biased because I love the flavor of almond in desserts, but it was really good even if it was on the sweeter side. The pie was a bit chilled, but I didn't mind that when it was a hot sunny day. This is such a cute little pie shop, and I'd definitely be down to try the key lime pie another time (especially since it's decorated so cutely). The person who I presume owns this place was very friendly and seemed enthusiastic about it all. Very sweet!

This is a cute little pie shop, clean and simple setting, with a bit of indoor seating (though I took it to go to picnic in the park), and lots of parking in the plaza lot. Service was sufficient with a young kid assisting customers at the front, and hardly a wait for my order to be packaged and ready. I tried the chicken bacon 5 inch hand pie, and a slice of the sausage quiche, more than enough for a filling meal. I'm so glad I opted to try both, cuz they got me hooked. That was probably the best quiche I ever had (especially as a breakfast lover), the ground sausage was so tasty. The combination of flavors and ingredients in BOTH blew me away, the consistency moist but not watery, and the crusts so buttery and flaky. That irresistible all butter crust has got me craving more, it's what dreams are made of... maybe that's the reason for their name. They don't have a lot of variety for savory pies here on any given day, but I still got nothing but love for Pie Dreams!

My first time visiting yesterday after a friend has been raving for months about this place. I got a slice of the Guava Haupia. As a baker and a Hawaiian, I gotta say... I'm impressed! The haupia had the right texture and delicate flavor, the guava was subtle with floral notes to complement the warmth of the coconut fat. The crust is a perfect bake, buttery and flaky (see the photo). Pie Dreams, I wish you success!
