Miz Lynn's Pies

You can't bottle love - but you can definitely taste it - when it comes to food.Miz Lynn's Pies are baked with so much love and passion - that it makes me smile just writing a review for this exceptional business.Ernest East the personable and endearingly sweet owner of Miz Lynn's Pies has perfected his sweet potato pie to a truly impressive foodie science. Ernest has been making pies - since before pie was titled "cool" again (though we all know that pie has always been what's up). Ernest doesn't get all fancy and elaborate with his pies. He keeps them simple - but that's where the real elegance lies - in his simple, but phenomenal pies.And if a big whole pie scares your stomach - and waist-line - be sure to check out his miniature pies - which are the perfect pick-me up for the week.Trust.

This review is long overdue. Miz Lynn's Pies can be found at the CSM FM and other farmers markets. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/miz-lynns-pies-san-francisco?select=g7Ykq0avyfkoH1yQS2OmZQ#AqRyYpIXRu5lG-EQmQZ9lgThe family sells both regular full size pies, medium, and mini pies. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/miz-lynns-pies-san-francisco?select=g7Ykq0avyfkoH1yQS2OmZQ#9nFGwQzb6dQEJmZ2xoMVDw I often buy mini pastries, perhaps because they're cute and portable. This time I got one each of the lemon and sweet potato 3" pies. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/miz-lynns-pies-san-francisco?select=g7Ykq0avyfkoH1yQS2OmZQ#e1BTHFROON_SNGI2tJVe8A

I've never really been a pie person, so I usually just scrape off all the filling and aeat the crust. Same deal with cheesecakes.However, after the sampling experience at SFSU's Thursday farmers market, I found an exception.Though most of the pies didn't really appeal to me (as I said before), I really enjoyed the strawberry lemon pie. It's not sour like the lemon pie, and has something more than slush (I guess I don't like pies because of the bland, custardy texture).The pies are reasonably priced, a buck something for a small, three dollars and something for a medium, and about seven for a large.

I look forward to this stand every week at the farmer's market! Since that fateful day when they set up the sample stand at Draeger's, we've now taken home all their pies and my favorite is still the pecan. I choose this over sweet potato when I can't decide but I know i'll enjoy that extra crunch. It's hard to describe how I feel about these pies beyond that uncontrollable rush for more after the first bite - the crust has a perfect give and balance to the goodness inside. hah.They now sell a $2 version that's bite size - like dan tat size. I love pie, and these are good enough to serve at your wedding! or, you know, a Tuesday!

Sometimes, when I'm having a rough day, all I need is a little treat to change my mood. Miz Lynn's Pies are the best kinds of pick-me-ups! The 4" pies come in three varieties: Sweet Potato, Pecan and New England Lemon Chess. I'd be hard pressed to pick out my favorite, which is probably a good thing-- I'd hate to discriminate against any kind of pie. I'm totally a pie progressive.Since they're small (equivalent to a slice) you don't have to feel guilty about buying one and devouring the whole thing. I guess you could split one in half and share it with someone you deem pie-worthy. I have yet to find that kind of person though, so I just eat a whole one myself.They're sold in many markets in SF including: Good Life Grocery, Mollie Stones' , Andronico's, Harvest & Harvest Urban, as well in lots of corner convenience stores. Seriously, get out there an buy one or four right now! Your belly will thank you.

Delicious! I loved the mini pies at the recent Yelp event I attended. Loved the ginger yam pie I had! The little pies tasted homemade and all the flavors were great! You could tell the ingredients were straight forward and delightfully simple.I really liked that none of the pies were loaded with sugar and filler. All around, honestly good.

Well Miz Lynn's has outdone themselves by adding a few more pie selections. I just tried the Lemon Strawberry pie and the Apple Cranberry Crisp and had the devilish urge to hide the remaining pie somewhere that no one else in the house could find it! But I didn't. I had tried the usual place (Molly Stone's/Tower Market) to get their Sweet Potato and Ginger Yam, to no avail. Apparently they hired a distributor and now are not in the stores where they were before, so the Farmer's Market in Burlingame is the best place to get them, or just call Earnest and he might deliver if you are ordering multiple pies. It's worth it!!!

Mmmmmm a lucky me found Ernest East at my local Farmers Market with his lip smacking sweet potato pies. Created from a 100 year old recipe, his pies are delish and just what I needed on a day that feels like fall is here. Best part - you can order on the web site and they will deliver!! mizlynnspies.com

Wow! Oh man. So good!OK, let me back up. When I was a little kid, I used to buy these little Bama pecan pies at the local U Tote 'Em (old school version of 7-11 in Texas). They were really delicious despite the fact that the jumbo pecans looked like cockroaches. Today at the San Mateo Farmers' Market, I had some time to kill while I waited for a sandwich order to get made, so I strolled around. Lo and behold, I came across a small booth with two of the friendliest guys ever and an assortment of large and small pies. Immediately, my eyes were drawn to the small pecan pies which had that nostalgic Bama look. SOLD!Now I'm sitting here finishing up a BBQ sandwich and following it up with one of the most delicious little pecan pies I've ever had! So good that it will eradicate the Bama nostalgia. The crust is flaky and buttery with a tiny bit of crunch. The pecans and the filling are a tiny bit savory and a tiny bit sweet, but not too much of either. A perfect balance! I kind of wish I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream to put on it, but it's great anyway!I can't wait until next weekend to come back and try some of the other flavors!

Zero stars for businesses that leave their mailboxes full and/or don't answer the phone. Yelp doesn't even show an address for this place!Trying to find good pumpkin and sweet potato pies in SF.
