My lunch turkey on croissant with greens and side salad
Deborah D.

I've been here a few times previous but this week entered alone. Had a beautiful early luncheon! This place suits me for my food journey I'm on now: fresh food, created by hand with great care. You're greeted warmly and with smiles. Music playing is mild and reminiscent (I love that). They serve your hot beverages especially tea with leaves in silk bags and the cutest little spoons. Condiments on a side table and cooler drinks in side fridge. The lighting is natural and bright should you choose to eat inside and also not so bright if you choose to sit around corner of space more private. Very comfortable tables and chairs. One could stay awhile. I had the sliced fresh turkey breast ( no deli meat, this IS turkey) on toasted croissant with fresh greens and a delicious spread. Subtle but delicious. My side was salad with shaved carrots and homemade balsamic dressing. I also had a lemongrass ginger tea with water. Finally, I had a slice of key lime pie to go. Imma tell you I've had the dutch apple and triple berry crumb pie prior...nothing disappoints. Pies are their thing and next I will try the biscuits cause they look terrific. I enjoyed my time yesterday and returned for another turkey sandwich to go today with fresh fruit. Can't express it enough...patronize this place. It's a great gem in a little town full of them. Share it with a friend or alone, you'll love it!!

Key Lime Pie
Lisa B.

Stopped by this cute little shop while walking around Ambler, after having lunch. It's off the main drag, so you have to look for it. They have some delicious looking pies in the case when you enter. I chose a yummy piece of key lime pie! The crust was flaky and it wasn't too tart or too sweet. My sister took home a small Chocolate Crack pie and a container of chocolate chip cookies. It definitely satisfied her sweet tooth. Next time I'm in Ambler, I know where to stop.

Chicken alfredo mushroom hand pie

I have been wanting to try this spot since 2016 but could never seem to plan my trips correctly. Well the day finally arrived and it is everything I thought it would be. Super cute tiny corner pie shop! The serve breakfast, and lunch. Huge menu of options that all sound amazing. There's also cookies, pookies (pie baked in a cookie) cheesecake with cookie crust, all sorts of pies to go either fresh by the slice, they have a selection of things frozen ready to go. I had the chicken mushroom Alfredo hand pie, my family ordered the mac and cheese pot pie and chicken pot pie. I also brought home chocolate chip pookie with chocolate crack pie in the middle, some sugar pookies with key lime pie, a celebration biscuit And last but not least a cheesecake baked in a chocolate chip cookie base mini pie that was freaking life changing! Everything we ordered tasted as good as it looked! I'll be here a lot more to say the least! If your even close to here go you won't regret it!

Quiche
Pinky P.

Had the quiche, a cup of coffee and got two cookies to go. Quiche was a bit burnt but the rest of it was good Coffee was on point. Cookies were delicious! Service was great and the place is so cute. Note, they do not want you there for more than 45 min per their signs on tables so you can't work from here if you planned to.

This was a excellent blueberry pie and peanut butter chocolate cookie
Gavin T.

If you haven't been to the pie and plate café yet, I think you may be missing out. This was by far the greatest pie cookie and whipped cream I have ever had and I'd like to consider myself café foodie. everything is homemade so when they ask if you want whip cream without a second question say yes

a menu on a blackboard
Gerald S.

Pie & Plate is a lovely corner cafe in downtown Ambler, PA. Large blackboard menu, tall refrigerated display case with the house made bakery goods, and the overall gestalt of a turn of the 20th Century community gathering spot. Woman ownership and operation, I found service warmly friendly, helpful and an excellent voice for the business. Breakfast choices are fairly limited at quiche, morning sandwich and some gluten free accessories; unless you are willing to kick your diet out the double doors and head directly for the scrumptious cakes and pies singing their siren songs before your eyes. Tempting let me tell you, but discretion being the better part of indulgence, I went with their handmade biscuit loaded with double egg, sausage patty and Havarti cheese, that came attractively wrapped in thin brown paper and my choice of small fresh fruit cup. Their coffee shouldn't be ignored either, because it came in strong, hot and head butting good. I sat on a stool at a large white table enjoying the warmth of the sun after the deluge of the night before. From this vantage point I could watch what was happening in the kitchen, as well the streetlife beyond the large window. I enjoyed my meal, and the attention of the owner as she offered to refill my mug and willingly returned to the Cunard to fetch the milk I desired for the Java. Everything combined well in taste and texture. Minor quibble with the crumbliness of the biscuit, which had me picking up the small pieces with my fingers so as not to leave too much behind. Overall, I worthy meal from an establishment well suited for its time and location. Pie & Plate helps Ambler maintain its charm.

S'more pie!

What a super cute place! I'm so glad we found this place! They had a fantastic selection of pies, both sweet and savory! I got a savory chicken pot pie, you could tell by the taste, a lot of love went into it! It definitely tasted like it was freshly made and with good quality ingredients! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, I must have asked 20 questions, there were just so many to choose from I wanted to make sure I got the right one for me! The ambiance was wonderful, from the second you walk in the place is welcoming, they have free water available for nice hot summer days, and there's both indoor and outdoor seating! I would definitely recommend stopping here and checking out their pie and tea/coffees selections!

Fantastic peach berry pie
Brian W.

Every aspect of our experience was just delightful and tasty. Walked to the lovely aroma of frosting complemented by the smells of mushroom soup on the stove. Modern, clean, inviting.... enjoy your beverage and food at one of the many comfy spots throughout. Had a cup of coffee with a heavenly slice of peach cherry pie.... and we thought we've had some of the best pie. Well, that was up tasting their pie. Holy cow this was awesome. From the burst of the fruit to the just amount of firmness to the crust. And a sizeable slice I may add. Certainly worth the short walk over from the Ambler Theater. We'll be back for "real food" and of course another slice of pie.

Pookie - chocolate chip cookie with crack pie inside.
Adam S.

I highly recommend pie and plate cafe. Their pies are delicious and come in a wide variety of both sweet and savory flavors. I recently had the pleasure of trying a slice of their pecan pie and apple pie. Both the crust and filling were delightful. If pies aren't your thing, don't worry. There is plenty of other food available. From sandwiches to cupcakes, pie and plate has you covered. Also worth noting and not to be missed are the pookies - cookies with pie inside. Bottom line - a gem in the heart of Ambler anyone will enjoy.

Mac and cheese pot pie light and crispy!
Jen H.

We went here for lunch! The owner was very accommodating. We didn't know brunch was running til 1-we arrived at around noon. Had my heart set on the Mac and cheese pot pie. They agreed to allow us to order off the lunch menu. The price was 9$ and came with a side of fruit. It was absolutely scrumptious. The pastry it was served in was a flaky puff pastry - something I wasn't expecting but was awesome! There was a flaky toasty square atop the Mac and cheese. We enjoyed our time here. The one counter server was warm and welcoming and remembered us from last time. Lunch was enjoyable and we resisted the amazing pie display. It's a well run business most deserving of your patronage.

Counter area
Noelle I.

The layout of this cafe is cute. They have high top seating and small tables with bright red chairs. The interior walls are bright and inviting. With trees decorating the walls. They have compostable straws that came with our drinks which I thought was neat as compared to paper straws. We ordered the quiche ( mushroom & spinach) and Mercer pot pie ( turkey bacon, eggs, cheese). It also came with a small cup of seasonal fruit. The quiche was great! Light, fluffy and very filling. The crust was flaky and crunchy and complimented the fluffy quiche perfectly. My husband's pot pie was also very filling. But he preferred the taste of my quiche more. We really lucked out on finding a nice cafe while walking off of main Street would definitely recommend if you're in the area! We didn't get to try the pies unfortunately. We were too full.

Yummy pies!

You can tell Daniel (the owner) actually cares about how everything runs. The place is clean, organized, and everything flows smoothly without feeling rushed. And Christina... she's seriously the best. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and actually helps guide you through the menu. She was on point with the specials and made great recommendations. We even got into a conversation about her trip to Peru, which was a really cool touch it felt natural, not forced, and made the whole experience better. We started with the Leche de Tigre, and it was a perfect opener, fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. You get that brightness from the lime with just the right kick, plus the calamari added a nice texture. We also tried one of the specials, the causa, which was light but still full of flavor and a great way to start. For the mains, we went all in. The Cowboy Steak (18 oz bone-in ribeye) was easily the highlight, cooked right, super flavorful, and paired with the huancaína risotto and that huacatay butter... yeah, that combo is no joke. We also had the pollo a la brasa (special, marinated 24 hours), and you can tell it was super juicy, well-seasoned, and done right. We also had the pasta con mariscos, and this one deserves its own mention. Homemade pasta with shrimp, calamari, and mussels in a chupe-style tomato broth rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Definitely one of those dishes you keep going back to. And I'm not even exaggerating... the table bread with the butter? We were eating like it was part of the main course. That butter is ridiculously good. Dessert sealed it. The lava cake with lucuma ice cream was warm, rich, and balanced out perfectly by the ice cream. We also tried the house-made guanábana sorbet, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to finish after a heavy meal. The vibe is what really ties it all together. It's casual enough to hang out with friends and talk, but still nice enough for a date night or bringing family. It doesn't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Overall, everything just clicked: food, service, atmosphere. No weak spots. Definitely coming back. This version is clean, structured, and reads like someone who actually understands what they're talking about, not just listing food.

We were looking for ice cream after dinner in Ambler and quickly found Sweet Briar. The line of people waiting for ice cream was an indication it must be good...and it was!! I had the Espresso Explosion, a scooped ice cream, and my partner had a cone with the chocolate soft serve. My favorite ice cream is coffee, and the Espresso exceeded my expectations! It was rich and creamy with a deep coffee flavor that was accentuated with coffee beans that were coated with chocolate! The crunch of the beans with the ice cream was definitely an 'explosion'! My partner had the chocolate soft serve - which was a creamy and chocolaty as can be - you could see tiny little specks of chocolate in the ice cream which confirmed the luscious taste! We will be returning to Ambler the next time we want an exceptional ice cream!!

If none of those appeal to you, your only alternative is to choose a pasta with a standard sugo (tomato sauce). There are also a couple of sandwich options, but those are limited as well. There's little to no flexibility--if it's not on the menu, they're not likely to accommodate substitutions or custom requests. That said, the two young men I encountered were both professional and not snarky at all in relaying the limitations. It was what it was. I went with rigatoni in sugo, topped with grated Parmesan. The pasta was excellent--perfectly al dente, and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Authentic and well-prepared. That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. The portion was relatively small, and with a bottle of Italian soda, the total came to $22.58--closer to $30 with tip. There's also no complimentary bread. Focaccia is available for $5, but it didn't look particularly appealing (a bit dark and overly crisp), though I didn't try it. Pros: * Delicious, authentic Italian pasta * Perfect texture and well-balanced sauce * Clean, attractive trattoria setting Cons: * Very limited menu (pasta and a few sandwiches) * No customization or flexibility * Price feels high for the portion size * No complimentary bread Overall, a tasty experience, but the limited menu and value may not work for everyone.

I am not disqualifying their experience but it is very odd it was so different. It was a hot, humid, rainy Saturday and the A/C was just fine when we got in. I will admit my first view through the door was a little hesitant but push on in and it was fine. The design goes for a comfy industrial setting. They have a good selection of beer and cocktails using a lot of local producers so there is a wonderful chance for you to find what you want to drink. The prices on the menu looked a little steep but the servings were generous and the food was very good. I had the best wings I've had in a long time with a nice crispness to the skin. My wife and I had a good time and found it lots of fun. If I was going to suggest a change it would be some sort of uniform for the servers. Hypsters in comfortable clothing fine but the issue is they blend in with some of the customers. I was talking to one guy thinking he was a server. It's one thing to be comfortable but professionally you need to stand out from the customers. but otherwise, this was a great time.
