Pie Bar

I had the coconut lime pie. It was pretty good. The only thing that would keep me from going back, is the price. Almost $ 7 dollars for a smallish piece of pie and coffee. While it was tasty, the people were super nice, and it was a nice place inside… I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there again at that price.

Peanut Butter Pie with Chocolate Ganache. Need I say more? It’s exceptional. I would eat it every day if I weren’t afraid of… oh, never mind… I’d eat it every day.
Fantastic. Pricy, but fantastic.

I passed this on the way to pick up a friend for a meeting and needed to give it a try on my way home. She lives in the area, but said she wasn’t impressed with the pies as the slices are small for $ 4.50 and the pies are average. I have to agree.
The flavor of the blackbottom pie was good, but it wasn’t anything amazing. If all a place sells is pie, it had better be fabulous pie. I didn’t find that to be the case. My friend had a peanut butter pie and felt the same way. Okay, but not anything we’d go back for.
I took an everything scone home and my partner raved about it, so apparently the scones outdo the pies. They also sell cookies and such but cannot speak to them.
It is beyond adorable inside and has a nice table outside to sit at, so the ambiance is great. I might try another kind of pie in the future.

Wanted to love this place. Pie was good, not great, but mine had a metal shard that almost cut my mouth (see the picture). I expected more for such a pricey slice of pie!

Students beware: Pie Bar has no wi-​fi. The first time I was there they said they were working on getting wi-​fi soon. I come in 3 – 4 months later, and the owner says they just straight up don’t have wi-​fi. This is after I ordered $ 10 worth of food (plus the tip). Pie Bar is small. I get why they wouldn’t want students camping out there to study, but I’d rather see time limits imposed on the tables than a café without any wi-​fi. Put a sign on the table asking customers to limit their stay to 30 minutes or something, but don’t open a café without wi-​fi. This isn’t 1980. Also, one star because both times I was in their pies were undercooked and the filling was runny, and the owner is also condescending and annoying. I had to sit there and listen to him interact with people the entire time I was there. What else was I going to do? I had no wi-​fi.

PIE BAR LOVE
LOVE PIE BAR
I don’t like pie, I never have, but I love Pie Bar. Okay, the occasional Floridian key lime pie and our own Atkins Farms crumb-​topped apple pie, but otherwise I never eat, buy, or order pie. Okay, maybe pecan, too, but that was when I was a kid.
Don’t listen to the haters. This place is adorable, quaint, homey, and filled with love; tempting menu items, delicious smells, and a simple calming aesthetic.
I ate a hearty meat pie. I didn’t sample anything sweet. The meat pie was not expensive. If you eat anything pie-​like or dessert-​y at Whole Foods, you’d be paying as much, so why complain when this is feeding the local economy and a slew of creative folks who love food and feeding people?
I drove across the river yesterday just for a little hand-​rolled ham-​and-​cheese-​filled pastry thing. So yummy! Now it is a hard choice between Pie Bar and Tart – my two favorite bakeries in Noho.
PS Amherst location soon please!

Pie! Pie! Pie!!! What an amazing little spot. Perfectly adorable setting with cute vintage touches, like the antique cash register. I recommend paying by cash just to see them open the drawer!
Oh, you want to know about the pie? I tried the cherry cardamom crumb pie, and it was glorious. My only beef was that it was a little sweeter than I would have liked.
There were about 4 – 5 sweet pie options (fruit, cream, chocolate) and a number of savories, soups, etc. coffee, tea…
Maybe it’s just because I live in NZ and can’t get sweet pie very often (except Pie Piper, love those gals!) but this neighborhood pie shop is pretty much my dream. Great service, lovely atmosphere, and most of all GLORIOUS PIE!

Had the apple pie — not cooked enough — apples still very crisp! Overall — over rated !! Not worth the price — go to Atkins or Outlook Farm for real apple pie– very, very disappointed!!!

While this place is very pricey, *some* of the pies are great. The Maple Cream is amazing. Others (looking at you, strange apple pie that tastes like rosewater, blueberry pie that tastes like blah and oreo pie that was nothing special) not so much. Sometimes the pies are just strange (please God let the broader «salted» craze end sometime soon!).
Cute seating area, somewhat out-​of-​it staff, but otherwise, good experience because of the maple cream. I also had a coconut cream pie in the past that was excellent.
Update ⁴⁄₂₈: The last two menus (and each lasts for two weeks or so, it seems) didn’t have a single pie for which I’d drive the ten minutes to Florence. My strong suggestion would be that there should be at least one or two favorites (vote for Maple Cream) available at any time so there is always something to bring in customers. Maybe a «signature» pie. Fingers crossed for the May 9^th menu!

Had a slice of the Maple Cream pie. It was amazing. The family and I really enjoyed it.
After enjoying the slice we decided we’d like a whole pie to take home. I was then told you can not just order a whole pie, must be preordered. Which was a little upsetting especially when living 30 min away.
The pie was great. Little pricey. Then I’m not able to order a whole pie on the spot, that’s why the minus one star.
Living further away I’m not going to order a whole pie without trying a slice. So unless I plan on making two trips. They’re losing a lot more business they could be getting from me.

I stop in for savory morning delights here, usually on the weekends. What a wonderful addition to the landscape. Pie Bar offers specialty products and truly excels and I really appreciate their adventurous flavor combinations. The quiche and galette are different almost every time I stop in.
The pies look amazing and I can’t wait to try those too. Cheers!

We weren’t even planning on coming here, but my wife saw, «Pie Bar» and we had to stop. Glad we did, Pie Bar is pretty awesome. Savory pies, fruit pies, they got it.

Pie bar is a quaint little spot in the middle of Florence. A friend and I stopped in earlier today for a quick cup of coffee and slice of pie.
She had a slice of the Shoofly, which had a gooey molasses filling — it had the texture of pecan pie (without the pecans) and the warmth and richness of a chewy molasses cookie. Delicious! Great if you have a real sweet tooth.
I had a slice of the brown butter and sour cherry tart, which really hit the spot! The crust was perfect — buttery and flakey with a bit of crispiness to the edges. The filling had a nice eggy custard flavor which balanced the mild tartness of the cherries. I would definitely order it again!
Overall a good experience. I can’t wait to go back and try their other offerings!

A massive disappointment. I’d been curious to try this place since it opened and finally had an opportunity to stop in with my wife. The place itself is nice. Warm atmosphere. I can picture it being a popular place to meet up with friends for coffee.
We ordered two pieces of pie, a slice of Buttered Rum Cream and a Salted Chocolate. Total came to $ 9.00 plus tax. Now I understand pricing. Having had to work out pricing in various capacities professionally myself, I get how various costs and factors are put together to come up with the price of a product. But it’s also important that the customer feel like the price is equal to (or less than) the value of what their purchasing, and given the size of the slices, I was already skeptical.
But whatever, we had to give it a shot. Maybe the pie was that good.
It wasn’t.
The buttered rum had a weird, grainy texture, and ok flavor and a cream and crust that was no better than average. It almost seemed like at one time it might have been good, perhaps when it was first made, but it had that feel of a slice of pie that’s been sitting in the fridge for a week because you forgot about it.
The salted chocolate had good filling. There was no missing the salt. Others have commented on the saltiness of their pies and I can definitely see where they’re coming from but we like salt, so no real harm there. Again the problem was the crust. This time a very unpleasant graham cracker crust.
It’s too bad. I would have loved to love this place. But $ 9 for 2 slices of pie, half of which we tossed out because it just wasn’t worth eating… we won’t be back.

Decent, fun place. Really cute décor and awesome flavors. Decent execution but the quality of the pies varies wildly. We ordered a few slices to go and a coffee. Our server was texting the whole time, which was pretty off-​putting.
Coconut cream had an extremely chewy crust, very difficult to cut through without a knife. Very salty and glutenous, more of a tapioca pudding texture than a custard. Not very flavorful.
Lemon chess was exceptional. Crust was much better, flaky and buttery. Might have been fresher or had absorbed less moisture. Really great citrus flavors, could have used more zest.

A cozy little pie shop with a few pie options, a few lunch options, coffee, beer, and even wine. This is one of those great spots where it’s not just coffee, not just a bakery, but a mix of both and a place where you want to hang.
The cup of jo + slice of pie is your best bet at $ 5. For me, that’s a good price point. You don’t need anything else… unless you’re me and you get cardamom shortbread as well (delicious).
I ordered the Shaker Lemon Pie — sliced whole lemons, baked into a pie crust (the kind with a crust on top). It’s a good mix of sweet/​bitter/​sour, and it works because each flavor balances the other. The slice could be a bit bigger, but it’s a good snack.
The shop should play some music to enhance the ambiance, which, while cute, was a little quiet for me.
If they make Key Lime, I’ll be back in an instant. The butternut squash tart looked great (it’s not sweet, it’s savory). The apple galette looked equally as tasty.

I went for the first time here while in town for the holidays. In Texas we have a «pie bar» but it is very different. I didn’t try any of their pie slices but instead dined on a delectable chicken curry hand pie. Yum Yum. It was delicious and just the right size. I did try a bite of the bacon, mushroom, horseradish soup and that was delicious too. The coffee was brewed just right and was very tasty. However, I think it was PT’s coffee out of Kansas so really?! We have some the best local coffee here in the valley something local would be great. Also, I did think it was very pricey although, this is the valley, if you are excepting economical prices in the valley, look elsewhere. I’d go again, probably not often due to my limited budget (and the fact that I normally reside in Texas) but considering the amount of people frequenting this place they are doing something right.

Pie Bar. Where do I start?
I moved to Florence a couple months before Pie Bar opened and was SO FREAKING EXCITED to check it out. When they finally opened, it took me a couple more months to actually get there. Why? Because their hours are extremely inconvenient (Tues — Sat, 7am-​4pm) and they ran out of pie just about every day for their first couple months. Sort of disappointing when a place that ONLY SELLS PIE runs out of pie.
But I persevered, and I finally made it there on a Saturday (because hello? I love pie but I’m not waking up early on a weekday to go get some). I liked the sweet potato pie I got, but they definitely have some service kinks to work out. When you place your order at the register, the cashier verbally tells your order to the person/​people serving the pie. They don’t seem to write any of the orders down, which results in messed up orders. In the 15 minutes I was there, I saw at least 3 snafus occur.
In addition to expanding their hours to be open later (pie for dessert! What a novel idea…), I also hope Pie Bar gets an alcohol license or allows BYOB. It’d be cool to have some wine or a cocktail with your pie.

I don’t get the negative reviews at all. Lovely renovation, pleasant place to sit and enjoy a piece of tasty pie, nice people, locally owned. One star reviews? How mean, petty, and small minded!
I’ve biked over twice and enjoyed a fairly cut slice of pie and a cup of coffee for $ 5. Sat down with my pie and happily perused the Globe sports page. 20 minutes well spent.
Go to any restaurant in town and try to order the same thing for much less.
Or head over to Big Y and, yeah, buy a whole pie for $ 10. Then eat it all yourself in your messy little kitchen.
Sheesh!

Looks like it’s either love or hate for the Pie Bar. I’m going to go on record as a love. Admittedly, they’re still having growing pains, and once the fervor drops off I’m sure that this will be a happy and welcome spot to get some really excellent pie.
I was there the second weekend at about 1 pm. The line wasn’t too bad. And people had to manage themselves in the process of getting their order in, and getting served. That would honestly be about the only suggestion I’d make regarding the service. (People generally tend to suck when it comes to a: being patient (As we can see in some of the other reviews) and b: Playing fair.) I was able to get a slice each of the Salted Chocolate, the Key Lime, and the Apple. The flavors were perfect. And better still they complimented each other really really well. The key lime wasn’t really set, and that would be the one ding in the pies themselves. It was a bit more of a liquid than a solid, but even so, the flavor was marvelous. I also had a tea, which was served in a glass mug and made from real leaves in a brewing bag.
A friend and I polished them off pretty competently, and for 3 slices and a tea it was appx $ 15. Honestly not a bad price all things considered.
There is AMPLE street parking around the shop, and a few select spots in a small lot in front of it.
