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. read more

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-EQmQZ9lg The 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 read more

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. read more

See all

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

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 read more

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! read more

All my family love their pies and swooping stories with Ernest too at the San Mateo College farmers' market. Sweet potato/ginger, Lemon & strawberry, mmm, so good! They pies are delicious in both sizes! read more

5 stars all around! We ordered Miz Lynn's pies for Thanksgiving and it was so good! Heard about the famous pies from our friend Melina and we had to try everything. We got the assorted 6 pack which came with the Sweet Potato, Ginger Yam, Apple Cranberry Crisp, Strawberry Lemon, Pecan, and Lemon Chess. The pies were fresh and extremely tasty. Our favorites from the pack were the Strawberry Lemon and Sweet Potato. To top it all off Mr. East (the owner) delivered the pies to our house that same day. Excellent customer service. Can't wait to order more pies come Christmas time. Thank you Miz Lynn's and Mr. East! read more

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Miz Lynn's Pies while on a weekend day trip to Half Moon Bay at the Harbor Point Farmers market. It was late in the afternoon and Ernest ( a very nice and obviously blessed man ) was down to only two 8 inch sweet potato pies and one mini-lemon pie. We took home one of each. Both were delicious, full of soul and delicate flavors. You may have to search out Miz Lynn's Pies to find out which Farmers Market they are selling at, but it will be well worth the effort, once you find them, go early before they are sold out and for a better selection. read more

I recently tried for the first time Miz Lynn's sweet potato pie and... WOW. It's the kind of food that you find yourself closing your eyes to savor. Thanks, Miz Lynn's. . . I LOVE your pies! read more

Great pies and a kind owner! I usually don't like lemon pies with their cloying sweetness, but the lemon chess pie I bought at the San Carlos Farmer's Market was amazing. I may be addicted... read more

$3 for a mini pie from the SFSU farmer's market (every thursday). The pecan was great i think i'll be going back to get a big one next time read more

Fantastic. Had there lemon strawberry pie at the Pacifica farmers market. Great size and fresh ingredients. The best pies I've ever had! My son ate 3 mini pies and he's a little picky. read more

The pies are as good as the people who make and sell them. The sweet potato pie is the best I have had in the bay area.

I get Miz Lynn's Pies occasionally at Farmer's Markets and they taste great and are fresh. I particularly like the broad range of unique flavors they make. read more

Miz Lynn's pies make you wanna slap yo mamma!!...lol...they are all so delicious. I appreciate how the kind gentleman let us sample everything. Being a great baker of pies myself, I'm very picky and definitely did not like anyone's pecan pie except my own version until I tasted this one today!! It was fantastic..not real sweet or gooey. Would have bought the pecan pie but they had already sold out @ the farmer's market (Saturdays)@ csm in San Mateo so I bought the lemon strawberry instead. As I said before...they are all soooooo delicious!! Will definitely be going back for another!! A lot of love goes into these pies! Thank you Miz Lynn's Pies. read more

Amazing sweet potato pie! We came across the Miz Lynn's stand at the San Carlos farmers market last night. We sampled the sweet potato pie and were sold! I am definitely going to be a customer in the future! read more

I found Miz Lynn's Pies at the Farmer's market at San Francisco State University. The salesman was super-friendly and let me sample all the flavors that I even glanced at. I fell in love with the Strawberry Lemon and the Apple Crisp, which were both perfect little pies. The Strawberry Lemon was the sweeter of the two (in a very good way, not too much so), but the Apple Crisp was just perfectly spiced. Both pies were fresh and delicious (and very appreciated by my friend and I when we had them later that day). I'll definitely buy from Miz Lynn's again. read more

We ordered 75 of miz lynn's 4" pies (lemon chess, pecan, sweet potato) as favors for our wedding at the end of Feb 2012. They were a hit! Ernest delivered them the morning prior to the wedding (as requested) frozen- which was perfect since we needed to wrap them- AND gave us a full sized strawberry & lemon pie as a wedding gift!! I highly recommend Miz Lynn's Pies. The customer service is wonderful. Ernest is a friendly, awsome person. They are very flexible and easy to work with. When we first discovered his company, through a friend who found him online, I was a little hesitant. When I called, he offered to bring over a sample of the 4" pie to wherever I wanted to meet. I though that was a little odd, but in hindsight, what GREAT customer service! Not only did he bring the 4 flavor of pies requested, he brought the additional other flavors at no extra cost! Can't beat that :) Thanks Ernest! read more

Regular size or mini, they are tasty pies, for sure. We've been getting them at the Kensington farmer's market on Sundays.

The ginger yam pie sounded pretty rare so I gave it a shot. Turned out to actually taste like ginger, everything else looked pretty tasty as well. The man at the stand was pretty friendly so I will be back to try more. read more

I never thought of Pie as a BLESSING until I met the Miz Lynn team and their incredible pies at the San Carlos thursday night farmers' market. Looks, tastes too god and the team is too friendly to pass up. read more

These pies are amazing! I encountered them at the farmer's market at SF State, and I've not been disappointed. The crusts are flaky and tender, and the fillings are fresh and flavorful! They taste like something my grandmother would make. If you get the chance to try one, I would highly recomend it! read more

I tried one of the sweet potato pie's at a Bayview community event that Miz Lynn's Pies was supporting. Let me tell you, the sweet potato pie is incredible and melts in your mouth. It tastes like homemade! I can't wait to try the other pie flavors. read more

I ordered a Miz Lynn sweet potato pie and it's superb. You can get these pies at Mollie Stone's, Andronico's, and other places. They're not inexpensive; what they are is a great value for the money. Ernest, the pie maker, is a craftsman who truly cares about his customers. I've got to try the pecan pie next. Thanks Ernest! read more

Loved the pies and the owner, Ernest couldn't of been a sweeter man! If you like pumpkin pie, you'll love the sweet potato pie. It doesn't have the hint of cinnamon that pumpkin pies usually do and it's a touch sweeter, but I really enjoyed it. I also bought the strawberry, lemon pie and the pecan pie -- both of which I'll be having tomorrow. Can't wait! read more

I found these at the Farmer's Market in Burlingame, CA. The man and women were very kind and I really enjoyed the pies. I am now going to use them for a school project! Game: FIND A BETTER PIE FOR THAT PRICE. read more

I discovered Miz Lynn's Pies at the San Mateo farmer's market. I instantly fell in love with the mini sweet potato pie. IMO, sweet potato pies should only taste like they were made with love and care from your own kitchen, and these pies fit the bill exactly. But what makes this stand a five star rating is Earnest, the friendly, sincere gentleman who runs the stand. I called him up before Thanksgiving to order some pies, and he was incredibly accommodating and appreciative. It's simply good homemade deliciousness served with good old-fashioned warm and happy service. It's true! read more

I purchased the Lemon Chess Pie with corn meal at the Burlingame Farmers Market and it was very good. I cant wait for am, I intend to have a sliver for breakfast. PS The man selling the pies shared that the recipe was his grandmothers or maybe great grandmothers,.....either way...hats off to Grandma! read more

I've never had sweet potato pie before, but tried Miz Lynn's after a long night at work and what a nice treat to kick back with! The filling had the perfect amount of sweetness, the crust buttery and delightful. read more

I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned how fabulous Ernest is! I wanted a pecan pie for a birthday. He delivered it to my home and was the nicest human I've met in weeks. The pie was perfect, not too sweet. I was wanting something with a Southern touch as it was for a dear one from that part of the country who thought it was just right. Ernest said the recipes hail from the South, from his grandmother. A gem of a place. I don't have much of a sweet tooth and am very particular. Ernest doesn't charge for the first delivery, a small-town feeling kind of service. read more

Miz Lynn pie's is the best addition to the San Mateo Farmers Market at CSM. The pies are a slice of heaven. The pecan pie, apple crisp and lemon pies are phenomenal but for a real mind blowing experience get the sweet potato pie. It's to die for!!!! And Earnest is just plain wonderful. You won't regret buying a Miz Lynn pie. read more

Perfectly baked pecan pie with a nice crust and not too sweet. We will definitely order from them again. Oh, they are extremely friendly too! read more
