I've been a customer for many years at Seattle area farmers markets. Hannah, the owner has truly perfected her pie offerings and crusts. (Literal pie crust perfection!) There is no pie flavor I've tried that hasn't been amazing. Horchata chess, marionberry, rhubarb, of course winter luxury pumpkin (seasonal, best ever pumpkin pie)...the list goes on. Lighthouse coffee (drip available) is strong and delicious. The quiche -- broccoli cheddar and delicata squash are faves. I have yet to try the chicken pot pie but I've heard it raved about. The shop is adorable inside and out, and the staff super friendly. Pop in for a slice, bring some home, or get a whole pie for your next gathering, you'll be the hero. read more

It's a pretty average pie shop. In general, it's really difficult to make a bad pie. I've been baking pies myself for 20 years for holidays and family events. This very small pie that is $45 and it's just not that impressive for the very high price. It's less than 1 inch thick and barely 8 inches. I guess if you're in the city and you don't have a lot of options it's pretty good but if you know anything about pies, this small pie for $45 is a little outrageous. If this is going to be your one thing, it should be way better than this. I would recommend checking out other bakeries in the Seattle area that make pies and in my experience it's a better value and as good and in most cases generally better. I love making a good strawberry rhubarb pie but my pies generally have about 3 to 4 times the amount of filling and are generally in a much more normal pie pan. The rhubarb and strawberry was perfectly acceptable for the flavor, but the crust was a little soft. I suspect a lot of these reviews are date nights and people wandering around on evening outings and looking for a fun experiences. I guess it meets that goal but I'm still just not impressed at the price and what you get for it. It's just not a good value. If you're going to do it, do it for the experience rather than expecting a spectacular pie. And if you find this pie impressive, you need to get out more. #Average. I would recommend the metropolitan market bakery for a better pie and a better value. read more

Fantastic service, such a sweet shop and phenomenal pie. I've had a lot of pie and haven't tasted an apple pie that I love so much as this one (not overly sweet and thoughtfully spiced). Their eat in area is so charming (caught it on a quiet moment there were four people in line behind us by the time that we sat down). The salty chocolate malted pie was fantastic as well. Love the dainty dishes that they serve it on when you dine in. Planning to come back more often to Ballard for dinner to be able to stop here afterwards! read more

Ok, the chicken pot pie is a treat! So delicious. I split this into two meals but it can be easily eaten in one sitting. The shop is in a busy Ballard neighborhood but pay by phone e parking was across the street. The shop is a sit-in place as well, very cute and can eat there. I got my pie to go though. I ordered a couple of days ahead. Excellent communication from the staff. They let me know it wouldn't be ready the next day and we rescheduled easily. I cut the pie and warmed it in the microwave for one minute. So good, highly recommend. read more

Have you ever had a horchata chess pie?! I hadn't either until recently and wow is it smoooooth! Staff was friendly enough to explain to me the slices available and settled on this one (their personal fave) as honestly everything sounded good. The chess pie was buttery, rich, flaky crust, and oh so delicious! I will certainly be back to try more. What a treat! read more

Pie Bird has been around for a while, but this is their first brick and mortar shop. Sweet little cafe, clean and airy. A great assortment of sweet and savory pies, to include hand pies. Tough to decide which piece to get, but when the salesperson says his GF asked for THIS specific pie for her birthday (a whole pie!), you know it's gonna be good. And oh boy - it is delicious! Passionfruit meringue pie- a perfect balance of tart and sweet on a thin, crisp, buttery crust. I can't resist passionfruit and this was just exquisite. Special note on their branding - I love how they carried their logo through to the packing paper. Definitely a destination location - go out of your way to stop here. You won't be disappointed! read more

I went to Pie Bird tonight and got a slice of apple pie for takeaway. The pie crust is delicious! The buttery crust is light and flaky! I liked the apple filling because it wasn't too sweet or too tart - just right for my taste buds. I'll come back to try another slice of a fruit pie. They also offer cream pies and chicken pot pies! The staff were very attentive, helpful and courteous. The seating area is decorated nicely with tables and chairs along the wall and there is seating at the window with bar stool chairs. read more

I've always wanted to check out this new location so while I was on my daily dog walk with my pup, I stopped by. The ambience is extremely inviting the seating and the decor is perfect for the location. The customer service as soon as you walk in is immediately attentive, and the workers are extremely nice. As it was my first time they went over the different pies that they had available for the day. As far as food, there is a good amount of pie option from sweet and savory. I ordered the pumpkin pie and the flavor itself is very much on point. I just was not a fan of how soft the bite was. It could have been baked a little bit longer for my liking, but that's just a personal preference. The pie itself is still very flavorful. I will definitely be back . Plus, I promise the wonderful ladies today that I would be coming back to try the Pot Pie read more

Oh my god. Buttery. Rich. Delicious. Get one. Get two. Get a whole pie. When a street market upgrades to a shop, you know they have something going right. They advertise their real butter crusts and you can seriously taste it. Rich and flakey. And the dude at the counter was the nicest person in the world in the clean open breezy shop. So I got the chess and the pecan pie (yes, both rich sugary southern staples, leave me alone). Yes I ate them both as soon as I got home (leave me alone, I'm living my best life here). Both were a high end version of gooey buttery richness you won't find at any other stores or pie shops around. I've tried. The topper was I bought a broccoli cheddar quiche out of guilt for my sweets and ate it the next morning. Just as good as the pies and also better than any other. Most places have tiny shredded broccoli and 90% egg. I swear this was 60% broccoli and 15% crust with a little egg holding it together. Whole pieces of broccoli. At first I wasn't so sure because the texture was different, but I'm CRAVING it still a month later. This is the kind of uniqueness we need in foods, just awesome ingredients and solid craft without random gotcha ingredients. Thank you. Save me a piece plz. read more

I am very late to the party with regards to Pie Bird Bakeshop, a popular business at farmers markets. However, they opened their well situated brick and mortar on Market in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. I stopped by on 8/23/25; the day before was their soft opening. I had intended to just order a slice of Boozy Peach, but also purchased two blueberry hand pies. The latter were well received by its recipients. Flavors seem to follow the seasonal abundance. Nice bright interior with ample indoor seating. This indie business is truly poised for continued success. read more

Stellar service, delicious pies and pairings? What's not to love?? 10/10 recommend! The cashier was very knowledgeable and patiently answered any questions about their offerings. In the end, I tried the following: - CHERRY (great version, not too sweet, has yummy cherry chunks and a great flaky crust.) - CHOCOLATE (dang, this one is for the ganache-lovers, decadent like a double-chocolate brownie bar) - LEMON (like a lemon bar with good balance of sweet, creamy and tangy) - APPLE (solid option, but I preferred the other three to this one for uniqueness) - BLUEBIRD VANILLA ICE CREAM PINT (such a good pairing, great vanilla) - LIGHTHOUSE MEDIUM ROAST COFFEE (husband said it was good, nothing wow) We drove straight back to the hotel and ate everything. No pics, but our tummies were so satisfied. HIGHLY recommend a visit. read more

I visited Pie Bird for the first time today. The staff was very friendly and kindly explained everything available today. Interior is cute and would make a great place to hang out with a friend. I bought a slice of the pecan pie and the pumpkin pocket pie. I liked the pecan pie a lot. The pie crust was buttery and flakey and the gooey content of the pie tasted amazing. Pumpkin pocket pie is also good. It reminded me of eating a pumpkin pie and I felt like I got to savor the season from the pie. The pecan pie was great, but the presentation was a bit messy. It'll be prettier for sure if you get the entire pie, but when it's cut to a slice, it crumbles a lot and the slice looks like a slab. Something they could maybe work on? If you don't care how it looks then you should be fine. read more

Stopping by Pie Bird was a magical experience! The inside is clean, modern, and just beautiful. Plenty of seating has been created in such a small space. The staff was incredibly friendly! Between breaking down all the pies they had available, and offering to warm up the pot pie for me despite taking it to go was so appreciated! You can tell they love their job and are so proud of what they're making. I ended up getting the personal chicken pot pie and a slice of chocolate chess pie. Both were unbelievably delicious. The pot pie was bursting with spices, succulent chicken, and perfect bites of veggies. The crust was buttery and flakey -- just as you'd want from a pot pie! The chess pie was like a slightly undercooked brownie. Sooo, so good. Not at all what I expected, but even better. I have been telling my friends they have to stop by, and I can't wait to come back again! A real gem in downtown Ballard. read more

Super Cute! Best Pie I've had in a long time. Very friendly staff. We tried the Soup ur Cherry and Strawberry Rhubarb. Both delicious. Great crust! read more

Had the maple pecan and strawberry nectarine at the farmers market. Excellent crust and filling. Well formed without being overcooked. Pie crust is great and adds to the experience. Not bitter at all or overly buttery. read more

Im sorry but hands down best pie way better than pie à la mode like by 100000000x!! We got the pecan and lemon. They had 2 kinds of pecan!!

Find me another pie place anywhere with pies that beat Pie Bird. The fillings are extremely full of flavor without being too sweet. And the crust...I could just sit and eat the crust on its own. Very flakey and buttery. I've been getting Pie Bird pies at the farmer's market in the University District of Seattle since she started baking them! The new shop the owner/baker has opened in Ballard is clean and aesthetic. Highly recommend. read more

Best Pies EVER. The crust is so flaky. Ingredients are fresh. We discovered Pie Bird at the University Farmer's Market and have been buying pies for years from Pie Bird. I am so glad she has a storefront so we can satisfy pie cravings anytime. read more

It is incredibly difficult to find good cake or good pie. Most everything we have tried at Pie Bird Bakeshop has been amazing. Pie Bird Bakeshop is the one bakery I will return to purchase pie, especially when I am too lazy to bake one myself. Premium ingredients are used, including European-style butter and organic, locally sourced, farm fresh fruits. We tend to stick with our favorites each time we purchase a pie. Our favorite of what we have had is the Banana Cream: delicious banana custard, fresh bananas, and a surprise crumble. Another favorite is the Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie: great balance of the smooth, sweetness of the chocolate and crunch of the slightly salty pecan. The Horchata Chess: decadent and comforting. The Black Bottom Pumpkin: we loved the pairing of chocolate and pumpkin, but the pumpkin was more spice-forward. Unfortunately, I am knocking a star for the one lady with the long brown hair with an attitude. She sells at the farmers' market, where every time I buy from her, she has this cold, condescending attitude. It would be one thing if that is how she normally interacts with people, but in one instance, she was incredibly friendly and helpful to the person in front of me, describing the pie itself, how long it can sit on the counter before having to be refrigerated, and how long it will hold in the refrigerator, etc. She provided none of that to me, ever. She does not have a friendly tone with me, as if it pains her to wish me a nice day. Everyone else who sells the pies is warm and welcoming, including owner, Hannah Jacobsen herself. One bad apple ruins the entire pie; the same applies to any business. Pie Bird Bakeshop is currently available at the farmers' markets, but we hope Ms. Jacobsen will have a brick-and-mortar bakery in the future. Ms. Jacobsen is an incredibly-skilled baker and offers many unique flavors. We look forward to her next creations. read more

I'll just close by saying that no one should miss out. read more

Pie Bird is the main reason I go to the farmers market! Their pie crust is perfectly flaky, especially on their pocket pies. They always have delicious in season flavors that are the perfect balance of sweetness. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I am obsessed, truly, with Pie Bird. The Ballard Farmers Market is an hour out from me but I'll make the trip there as often as possible. I'm even a part of the Pie Club and have them deliver to my husband's office on Fridays because they don't deliver down to me. I think I even dragged my babies to South Lake Union when they had a pop up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've made my way to almost every market they go to just to get my fix. The pocket pies freeze nicely so I buy a bunch and have a nice stock. I love that all of their fruit is purchased locally and that everything is seasonal. The ingredients are also super quality and you can tell. Hannah is great to work with when you need help or support. My favorite pies? Any of the berry pies, the horchata chess, pumpkin (in any variety), the pear crumble, bitter chocolate... I don't think I've had a bad pie. read more

Her quiches are TO DIE FOR. Best crust I've ever had, and the texture of the custard is so perfect. She does amazing rotating flavors. I've also had her cherry pie and it was delicious. Yes her stuff is on the pricier side, but yes it is worth it. read more

If there were a sixth star, Pie Bird Bake Shop would deserve a 7th. As monthly pie club members, we've had the privilege of tasting our way through their lineup--and let me tell you, this isn't just pie, it's a life-changing experience wrapped in golden, flaky perfection. Every month, our taste buds are treated to new masterpieces. From classic apple that tastes like your grandma's warm hug (to her favorite grandchild.. yes she has one) to creative flavors that make you question how you've lived without them (boozy peach, I'm looking at you), Pie Bird nails it every single time. The crust is always buttery and perfectly crisp, the fillings are generous and balanced, and life feels tolerable for a short moment. Our only complaint? That we have to wait 30 whole days for our next pie club delivery. If you're on the fence, just go visit the U district or Ballard farmers markets. You'll thank me later--probably with your pie hole full. read more

Some of the best pies ever!! The crust is flakey and delicious, and the flavors often rotate based on the season. My absolute favorite is the bourbon chocolate pecan, and also love the pumpkins!

Pie Bird makes THE BEST pies in Seattle. I've been a customer for at least five years now and I love every pie I've ever tried.
