The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, but the website ordering system needs improvement. It let me order pies that weren't in season and choose a pickup time they couldn't fulfill. To their credit they called me to address these so wasn't a big deal. We tried several pies and they were pretty good. 1) Apple Cranberry Crumble was easily the favorite, really cozy and not too sweet, delicious and even better than expected. 2) Chocolate Cream was just okay. a darker chocolate would've made it richer. 3) Cherry was decent, but nothing that stood out. 4) Key Lime was good but not tart enough, but still enjoyable. 5) Caramel pear was a bit too sweet for my personal taste buds Overall, pies with food flavors, but the ordering process could be smoother if they updated the website ordering system. read more

" Cutie Pie , Hunny Bun " We tried the pumpkin pie , cheese danish , and cinnamon buns . Oh wow ! No words ! I just saw 5x stars . The spot is cute and small but it has a big bite . A big bite of delicious pies and pastries in general . The service is welcoming and attentive. The prices are reasonable for the freshness and quality. Parking is limited but manageable. read more

If you love pies and have weaknesses for great pastry, don't say you weren't warned. I wanted a lemon meringue pie for the young woman I consider my step-daughter (daughter of my 21-year partner). This pie looked nothing like I expected -- and tasted better than any such pie I've found in my life. I could not resist buying a few tarts they had in the glass case next to the cash register. The street parking is easy. The manager could not have been more pleasant. If you want great pastry, your search is over. read more

Don't be like us and show up the week before Thanksgiving expecting to get a pie. There were also extending circumstances that affected their pie production. Regardless, we enjoyed their pastries and drinks, as well as their friendly service and would definitely come back. read more

I read about drive-by pies on yelp and noticed the excellent reviews so I thought I would check it out. They are super nice and I ended up buying two pies a blueberry and a coconut cream pie. i brought the blueberry to our friends last night and the ingredients were excellent but all five of us agreed that the crust was very dry. Crust is such an important part of a pie so I was surprised based on the excellent reviews. I was so curious this morning that I tried 1.5 slices of the coconut cream and again ingredients were fresh and really good but the crust was super dry. I was so excited to discover this place but I don't think i would go back even though want to because most of the photos I see the crust appears much more moist. I also noticed the great reviews for the chicken pies but reluctant to buy one after the issue with the crust. read more

How does excellence get better? Focus, hard work, and creativity! That's DBP. Look at the chocolate cake with buttercream frosting!!! Insanely delicious and blows away the competition including yes the infamous party favors. Best of all - this is no chain but the blood, sweat and tears of a small business owner who doesn't rest on her past success. Love this place. Enjoy! read more

Really cute little spot! Staff is super friendly and is easy to navigate! The food is good and they have a few gluten free options!! Although they are near the ones containing gluten so likely not celiac safe. read more

Best little bakery!!! Who knew??? They have the most scrumptious looking pies (fresh baked right there!) large and mini sizes, sandwiches, soup, cookies, pastries, frozen meal pies to take and bake, all of it from scratch. I just bought an apple pie still warm. Omg- to die for! Perfect crust, perfect filling, perfect sweetness. I know pie! I am from the south. I prefer a la mode ( with vanilla ice cream on top/side) Sadly I see myself increasing in size as this place is so close to my house, lol. Go, you won't be disappointed:) read more

I often stop in before work and get a variety items; all good but partial towards the cinnamon roll. Got a chicken pot pie yesterday and threw it in the oven last night.I have been a fan of one of the leading chains in the area that I thought were the best chicken pot pie as this is their specialty; OMG I am trading teams. The chicken pot pie at Drive By Pies was the best I ever had! My family devoured it! read more

OK, this really is a five-star place. It's tiny, but they have so much, and every single thing I tried was delicious! I showed up hungry, so I was ready to buy them out. I initially did an online order for the "take and bake" cinnamon buns, but I KNEW I'd be making an in-store purchase. In addition to the "take and bake" cinnamon buns, I got a danish that had a mixture of fruit in it, a mini cheesecake with fresh blueberries on top, a cream cheese brownie, and a Nanaimo bar. (You know, just a light snack.) OMG I was shook. Everything I tried was good. The stars of the show were the cinnamon buns and the cheesecake. The cinnamon buns were soft, fluffy, and delicious. They might not have been the "best" cinnamon rolls I've ever had, but they were darn good, and I would 100% buy them again. The cheesecake was exactly how I expect cheesecake to taste - crust and all. I'm so glad that I don't live too close to this place because I'd likely have them on speed dial if I did. I feel like it's important to note that this is more of a take-out spot. There are no actual tables to sit down and eat inside, but they do have a counter with some seats if you want to enjoy your treats there. I chose to take my treats home so that I could enjoy them later, but the woman who helped me out knew that I would be eating SOMETHING immediately, so she packed my danish so that it would be easily accessible for me to eat in the car. (Such thoughtful consideration.) Also of importance was the "Yaaaas, Queen" type of support I received when I kept adding items to my order. We love this! After this excellent experience, I want to go back and actually try one of everything. Knowing me, I probably will. (Also, plenty of street parking! ) read more

Wonderful person behind the counter made the experience of buying such delicious treat even better! We had an apricot bar that was particularly popular with a large group of friends & family. read more

I'm a huge fan of their chicken pot pie. With tax, it's ~$19 each for a 9 inch pie. FYI: Their chicken pot pies are not cooked when bought- pop it in the oven for 30-40 mins at home and the end result is absolutely beautiful. The pie crust is phenomenal, golden brown and flaky to perfection. It's loaded with shredded chicken and vegetables. Great for gifts, pot lucks, or an easy dinner at home. Have yet to try their baked goods, but Drive-By Pies on Cypress St. is a wonderful addition to the Brookline community! read more

I got the dinner special last weekend and it was terrific. The pot pie was delicious, the salad was very fresh, and the cupcakes were great. I also got soup and bread (that I haven't had yet). Very friendly service. read more

This is truly the best key lime pie anyone in my family has EVER had. Their cupcakes were also huge and delicious. Drive-By Pies is officially my go-to spot for sweet treats, birthdays, etc. Super friendly and fast service, fair prices, and incredibly delicious food! read more

Now that I have been to this bakery myself, I'll bring down the rating by 1 point because the products were not baked on the day we visited. They had been baked earlier in the week in large batches and sold over several days. Also, it's worth knowing that this is part bakery, part deli because the sliced sandwich bread and bagels are factory-produced -- not made in-house. Still, everything was tasty. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and still a few pies and pastries to choose from. It's such a small place, but so many things packed into this place. They also had pies you to take & bake and they even sold out pies/pastries from the previous day. We got a 5in pear pie with salted caramel, pie puffs, toffee blondie, and the bar of the month. It was the first time I had tried a pear pie and I throughly enjoyed eating it. I didn't really taste the salted caramel, but the pears were sweet, juicy, and a bit crunchy. I definitely enjoyed the crispy thick pie crust and would definitely go back for more. I was less impressed with the toffee blondie and the bar of the month, which was a brownie with mint drizzle on top. The toffee was chewy and I appreciated that it did not get stuck in your teeth. The pie puffs are super airy and light and would be paired perfectly with a cup of tea or some jam. I'd definitely recommend stopping by here to get your pie fix! read more

Super cute little cafe! Great cold brew and the berry tartlet was the best I've ever gotten from a bakery!

My favorite stop for morning coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The pies are a holiday, or any day must . Friendly service too!

Pies were excellent! Tried the blueberry and chicken pot pies. I was able to order both pies 24 hours prior. Staff were super accommodating. Parking right out front. Greeted by the nicest woman who answered all my questions and gave me great advice for future orders. Best experience. Everything was so wonderful that I went back two days later for another pie! read more

This place is great for pies and much much more! I moved into Brookline this year and was so excited to see this place across the street. It lived up to my initial hopes! I love the bars they have, especially the resolution bar. They also have good lunch options, including sandwiches with vegetarian ones too. I got the caramel pear pie for thanksgiving and was not dissapointe read more

Such a great little shop on a sleepier street of Brookline. Workers and owner and always friendly, and the baked goods are great! There are many options besides pie such as muffins and pastries, but the pies are on point! read more

Drive-By is quite excellent, packed to the brim with friendly staff and all sorts of yummy goodies. I pre-placed an order for a chicken pot pie for this past Friday and it came pre-labeled with easy-to-understand oven instructions that true to course, allowed the pie to come out golden-brown and delicious. The chicken was tender and moist, and the rest of the pie was packed with yummy veggies. The entire pie was meant to serve 8 (~$18) but the four of us handily polished it off! I also got the blueberry crumb bar, which was yummy: crunchy crumb on top and great-tasting bar underneath, although it could have done with a few more blueberries. Overall, I like this place -- really handy 13-minute walk from my apartment. I'll be back to try their sweet pies next! read more

Amazing pie! I got an apple pie for my husband bc it's his fave. We have had many many pies over the years. We loved that the crust was buttery and delicate, not super dense and the apples were tender but not mushy. Absolutely delicious, we will be back! read more

Nice little place for breakfast! I had the double egg bacon and cheese sandwich with a small cold brew for just under $10. They give you different options for bread and cheese which is nice. My friend had the avocado toast, which was flavorful and a good amount of avocado, and power protein shake that totaled just under $18. The prices were a bit higher than what we expected, which is the only reason I won't give it a 5 star rating. DD would be cheaper, but this does taste fresh for you pay for quality. read more

I was in search of a freshly baked pie to bring to a cook out this weekend. I found a solid one at Drive-By Pies. The filling in the cherry peach pie was phenomenal - a bit tart, a bit cinnamony, and with not too much liquid. It was really an A+ flavor and texture. The crust texture was disappointing (I'm a crust gal); it seemed overworked and doughy instead of flaky and light. However, the crust was perfectly browned and there was no soggy bottom. I would definitely try another pie from here. read more

great place to grab coffee or something sweet! everyone is so nice there! always great to pop in there.

I'm so sorry it took this long to write this review! Around thanksgiving, I ordered 2 pies ahead for Christmas. When Dec 25, 2019 rolled around I realized the store had closed and because I didn't write down the pickup date I forgot to pick up pies! It made things worse because I was in charge of bringing dessert for the party and I had completely forgotten Well, I had the number of the owner of the store and she actually answered my text on *CHRISTMAS DAY* like DEC 25 and she let me come by her actual house to pick up some pies This experience completely saved Christmas, and I honesty could not believe she was willing to have her own kids open the store in Brookline to bake pies specifically for me- I would never have let that happen! Anyway, this was seriously the kindest gesture, the best customer service I had ever received and I will only ever go to Drive By Pies for my future baked goods needs. I wish I could give 1,000 stars! read more

I have been a delighted customer of Drive-By Pies since the shop opened and every single treat has been exquisite. The pies are perfection. Same with the brambles and the cookies and the bars and the scones and the sandwiches. This is an independent bakery that you can trust to create deliciousness consistently, and what makes it even better is the wonderfulness and thoughtfulness of the owner and her staff. Drive-By Pies is a gem. read more

My boyfriend bought a pie from here at a farmers market. The cherries are fresh and delicious. They definitely fill the pie with as many as possible! I've been craving more since, definitely recommend!!! read more

Very delighted by the taste and quality of the food . The chachachá was really good , same with the egg sandwich with avocado no bacon or sausage. The chocolate d light was perfect . Over all very pleased prompt and great service . Thank you read more

Interestingly, I've never actually been to Drive-By Pies, but I've eaten a variety of them (apple, cherry, pumpkin, blueberry, pecan) at my in-laws and the pies are amazing. The crust is flaky and tasty and the filling is just the right balance of fruity and sweet. I love pie, and these are reliably the best. I'm getting hungry . . . read more

Great pies! We had chocolate cream pie and key lime pie. The owners were very friendly and make great pies.

I purchased an Apple pie for Thanksgiving. I must say, the crust was excellent and the apples were delicious. My only complaint was there was more air in the pie than apples. Was disappointed, as when I pay $20.00 for a "pie," I expect it to be "filled" with Apples. I've tried this establishment twice. Once when they first opened and was served "warm" coffee and pastry. Was again disappointed. I had called another bakery in Chestnut Hill that makes excellent pastries, however, Drive-by Pies is one block from where I live. The other bakery wanted $13.00. I will think twice about giving this establishment my business again. I will say the quality was "excellent," however, very sparse on the filling. read more
