A friend and I just happened upon this shop because we were in the shopping plaza going to H&H Beverages (ABC liquor store). The pie shop itself happened to be closed but we discovered a self serve pie and goodie vending machine right outside the shop front entrance and wandered over to check it out. Pretty darn cool concept! The vending machine takes credit card payments and there were a lot of different pie options to choose from - so kudos to them for keeping a well stocked machine after hours. There are various pie slice flavors, 6" small whole pies and also what they call "pie-faits" (get it? a play on the word "parfait") - little dessert cups (basically deconstructed pies in a jar with a lid). I posted a bunch of pics and a couple vids so check them out. We ended up ordering 2 pie slices - Key Lime and Milk and Cookies. Prices for slices were a tad high but we figured what the heck, we'll splurge for fresh homemade pie. We liked the Key Lime pie slice - very tart, tangy and creamy. But we didn't like so much the Milk and Cookies pie slice - when we dug into it, it was mostly all pie crust and pie topping and not much actual pie filling - also was way too sweet (probably due to the slice being all crust and topping) - disappointing especially for how much we paid for the slice WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE MILK AND COOKIES PIE. We peered through the front window into the shop - it looked quaint and basic - a tiny little place - an ordering counter, pie display case and a couple of tables and chairs. That was about it. Not really the kind of ambience that would cause me to stay, sit and eat there honestly. The shopping center was old and tired and seemed a bit run down with vacant shops and not much going on. From the main road (Rebecca Ln) you can't even see the shop signage so unless you knew about this place, you would never know it was here driving by (not even with their truck parked near the street) - which is unfortunate for them. In the end, bottom line, I don't think it's a place I would go out of my way to seek out or frequent. It was a cool novelty stop-in-and-try-once kind of place (and only because it caught our eye when we were at the liquor store) but given the high cost of a slice and not being absolutely blown away by what we ordered, not really worth a second look imo. :(

A frequent customer told us the sausage is ground in-house. Definitely tasted like it! Recommend all!

The incredible chicken fried steak that Perini's serves Sunday mornings happens to be here on their menu each day as well! There was a decent wait time for a table, but you can walk right across the street to the Perini's shop that includes cookbooks, fresh jelly, and gifts while you wait! Service can be a little slow at times, but it's cozy and everyone is always friendly! Highly recommend giving them a try!! Perfect for a breakfast before walking the trails at the State Park down the road!

Menu is quite small but looks good and reasonably priced for this kind of place. The variety of sweets ranged between $3 and $4 each. Macaroons looked really good. Got a cupcake and brownie.
