Support local businesses! On a Sunday afternoon I came in to satisfy my sweet tooth. I opted for the Strawberry Swirl cake for myself and oatmeal raisin cookies for my mom. Prices are very reasonable.... A slice of the strawberry swirl cake was $6. The oatmeal raisin cookies come with 4 for $3. The strawberry swirl cake was sooooo good! I actually felt bad that I didn't buy a slice for my mom. When I visited they were only accepting cash and didn't have change for a $20. Taking a star away for the lack of payment options. read more

Pies are great! Went on a Friday and had as much of the five dollar pies that were left. Gave me a chance to taste as many as I could. Definitely my new pie place. Highly recommend. read more

Bean pie and butternut squash pie good. Also the girl at the counter was very nice had good customer service

They were closing.. I got there exactly at 6 and they still let us in.. super helpful and had a good variety or desserts.. a couple of items were more expensive than I expected but I know prices are higher these days.. overall gear experience read more

Pies pies and more pies! Delicious pies. We went one night and caught them exactly as they were closing up. The guy working was nice enough to let us in when we promised we knew what we were getting. We split one piece of pie (really I could eat about ten, but my body wouldn't like that as much as I would). The pie was delicious! We got sweet potato. I'd come back to try the rest of their offerings, or to get the sweet potato again. read more

I ordered: Sweet Potato Pie - unbelievably good Broccoli N Cheese Quiche - 1/2 of the fam's favorite dish. Other half liked the Sweet Potato Pie a tad bit more. Apple Pie: Good but more like a apple crumble. Overall - Will be back. it was that good. Only thing negative which is not a negative just more of an annoyance and hoping it's not hurting their business. Is Yelp and their website is the wrong address and phone number. I had to search instagram to find out where they were. Other than that it was on point in every way. read more

My sons girlfriend ordered a 8 inch sweet potato pie via door dash the day before Thanksgiving. Pie delivered on time. Thanksgiving, I put it on the desert table, came back, and there was no pie for me. Everyone loved it. Next time I order 2! read more

Pure Love Pies is somewhat of an anomaly in the North Jersey area. Most shops do not exclusively sell pies, but more than that most shops [selling pie] don't care about your wallet. I've literally seen bakeries in North Jersey sell 10 inch pecan pies for upwards of $50, with some reaching as high as $70! The pie market is absolutely unreasonable and unregulated! Pure Love Pies is awesome, though, because it defies the odds. It brings balance to all this pie madness. It doesn't succumb to crazy, wallet-draining, practices for their scrumptious pies. Instead it offers delicious specialty pies at a fiscally responsible rate. While this review has been more a commentary on unsavory pie pricing, Pure Love Pies is really on par with some of the best pies I've had! We tried their pecan and navy bean pie. Both were excellent! The inside has got great seating too with some street parking outside. An awesome place to check out if you're into pie and want to push against predatory pie practices. read more

The best desserts around. I usually get my bean pies from their vendor located on South Orange Ave in the great city of Newark. NJ.

OMG!!! Decided to order this for delivery and glad I did. I must say that I've been craving a good sweet potato pie. After reading a few reviews I decided to chance it. As there are only a few places that can make a decent one. I usually pick up a few from the local fired chicken franchises, cause they really have that perfect pie. Pattie's pies are okay, but not a favorite of mine. I wound up ordering an 8" pie instead of the slice. Glad I did as that fist slice was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! I warmed up my small slice for about 20 seconds and it was so damn good. Silky, flavorful, creamy, sweet potatoes and a perfect crust. I must say that these simple ingredients went a long way, you can taste the love that goes into these pies. I also got some chocolate chip cookies and put those in my air fryer on bake for like a minute and man was that a good cookie with my super cold glass of milk. If the milk is not super cold, the cookies taste different. Moist and gooey these cookies were. Lastly, let's talk about the velvety and flavorful Banana Pudding which is one of the best ones I've tasted outside of my grandma's kitchen. Five stars because everything was perfect!!! read more

How can I leave any review that doesn't show pure love for these homemade, all natural, delicious pies? I went by it years ago. I remember I stopped in to look, but I left no review and have no memory of what, if anything, I may have bought that time. So I had to return. I bought a couple of pies, had dinner across the street (see my MoBay review), came home, tried the bean pie. My goodness, but that is some authentically delicious navy bean pie. It is smooth, has that nice layer on top - it's almost creme brulee. And the #1 ingredient is navy beans. It's absolutely crazy but there's a reason every review mentions it. Now, I wanted to get a good pie cross-sample, so I also brought home a sweet potato pie. (There were others, and there were cookies and other desserts, but this isn't Pure Love Pies And Other Desserts, and I can't eat 5 pies in a week.) I have just opened and sampled... well, roughly half of the tater pie. I came across 2 strings so far, which both proves there are real potatoes and that there is almost no stringiness to it. Flavor is on point, neither pie was too sweet but they are both sweet enough to forgo ice cream or whipped cream - just slice and enjoy. Very reasonable prices. I hate to say it to that ice cream parlor we all know, but this is now the best dessert place in Brookdale! read more

Pure Love Pies - Navy bean and sweet potato pie, waiting for devouring. - Bakeries Near Me - East Orange, New Jersey

Very disappointed in Pure Love Pies! Ordered peach cobbler on 7/25/23. $30.00 was charged to my credit card right away. Went to pick up order on 7/26/23 and store was closed - sign on door said "Not Open." Have tried phone number but recording says not taking calls at this time. Now I have to fight with credit card company to get my money back! Terrible way to do business! read more

Boo Boo and I came here to get a slice of carrot cake and pecan pie. Each slice $5. Kinda expensive but both tasted really good. Waaaay better than ShopRite and diner desserts. I would def. hit up this place for pecan pie. Saw they had Navy bean. I probably won't try that unless I find another $5 read more

I initially went after i saw their segment on NJ News 12 last month. When i went they had their full menu available. Every time I've gone since they haven't had a full menu. They haven't had quiche for sale since thanksgiving. They also haven't had white chocolate macadamia cookies since thanksgiving. My mom recently wanted their sweet potato pies so she ordered via door dash and one pie had been in the oven too long as it was dark brown. I would never recommend this place as it seems they only have 3 items for sale but advertise a full menu. read more

Possible the best tasting cake I've had in the neighborhood. I have a sweet tooth that cannot easily be satisfied. I am always pleased one I leave here. There is an array of cake flavors and each one has its own unique flavor. The customer service is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the products they serve. I looove, love, love the carrot cake. I am not a huge fan of icing but the icing on the cakes here taste so delicious. Would encourage anyone looking for a good treat to try PLP. read more

I have purchased cakes and pies from them and they have consistently gone beyond expectations in taste and customer service. The sweet potato pie and coconut/pineapple cakes are my favorite. Black owned! read more

Amazing. Stopped in for the first time this evening just before closing and got a slice of navy bean pie, a serving of peach cobbler, and a sweet potato pie. Omg. So good! We live nearby and will DEFINITELY be repeat customers! I'd never had navy bean pie before and definitely discovered a new favorite! read more

I did not buy from this location but from a man that sells them in Newark I think. He is in the middle of a road..sorry I don't know off the top of my head..I bought the bean pie for $5. It was a size for maybe 2 people or 1 beast like me. I devoured it. Deliciously delicious. That's all I have to say. Get some! read more

Pure Love Pies - Devoured bean pie...all natural ingredients - Bakeries Near Me - East Orange, New Jersey

Ordered via Door Dash during their normal business hours, was charged, and then was contacted by driver who wasted his time traveling to the location that was closed. A sign was left on the door saying "back at 12". This was at 4pm. This not only wasted my time requiring a call to customer service to be refunded but also wasted the time of the driver who won't be paid and could have used his time to actually make money. Beware when ordering from this place as they apparently don't update their systems read more

.So good! Stopped at the pop up tent by the VA in East Orange and finally grabbed some banana pudding. Delicious. Now ill have to always have cash when i go for my appts so i can grab pies on the way home. Great, more food to be addicted to...but so worth it. read more

While on our way to enjoy a Bloomfield Restaurant Week night out on Broad St., we were lured in by a waft of Apple Pie in the air - and we were a block away!! Choices included Butternut Squash Pie, Navy Bean Pie, and Sweet Potato pie among others. We chose sweet potato pie (husband's favorite) and it was thoroughly enjoyed. Texture, Sweetness, and Flavor were A+ and when something store bought tastes just as good as homemade (or as good as mine ) it deserves a perfect 10 read more

Pure Love Pies - sweet potato pie. 8" x 2" deep. - Bakeries Near Me - East Orange, New Jersey

We arrived today to get pies to take with us out of town. The family was anticipating them as we talked about how great they were. We look online before we drive the 40 minutes there and online shows they open at 10. We pull up at 10:30 to find a handwritten sign that says they open at noon.... disappointing..... if you are changing your hours of operation please change it online as well so we don't drive 40 minutes to find you are closed. read more

This review is not for the pies . Its for the rude lady who answered the phone ! I asked if they had a lot of pies left and she said ,"yeah" and hung up . Big turn off . Not going back because of that . Thanks for the pies . Bye read more

I haven't been to this location but I have bought pies and cookies from the stand off the side of the road in Newark. So amazingly delicious. I am obsessed with the banana pudding! Can't wait to try other items and stop by the store location sometime. I think that for $5 it is a generous helping of banana pudding and a great deal considering how great it tastes. read more

This review is just for the Navy Bean Pie and the Pecan Pie. Both pies were good and the prices were very reasonable. I've never had a Navy Bean Pie and wanted to try it. Best choice ever, very good. The custard was delicious and the spices they put on top of the custard was amazing BUT the best part had to be the crust. That crust was so flaky and crispy. So good and the slice was very generous for 5 dollars. I also brought a 10 inch pecan pie for 15 because they didn't have any slices. The pecan was good but the filling wasn't as gooey as I would like and it was a bit too sweet. It was still a good pie. Definitely can't wait to try their other desserts and pies. read more

I'm so happy to have tasted the bean pies which were a staple of my youth. These pies are all that and more! You MUST taste these pies!!! In fact, the pies are so good I wanted to start selling them but didn't know where to get them. This was about 10yrs ago before the labeling was added. Or, it may be that the guy I was buying them from would take the label off because he didn't want anyone to know his source. LOL! I moved out of town and hadn't been back. Well I returned for a visit yesterday and actually ran into the same guy who was selling the pies back then. He's still selling them! So I had to get at least two! The guy vaguely recognized me. I bought the pies and to my surprise they had a label on them with the address to the company! Whoohoo!!! My prays had been finally answered! Well now that I've been reunited with Pure Love I'll be ordering some pies and introducing them to my family as well as buying some for my grand children to sell. This will be a good way to get them started as young entrepreneurs. Thanks for creating such delicious pies without a ton of chemical ingredients. Wish you all the best and much success! I'll have to try some of your other items too. #BestPiesInTheLand read more

This place has the best pie I've ever tasted! My family has only ever gotten pie from the supermarket, but I'm definitely not making that mistake again. The sweet potato pie is delicious and much more flavorful than pies bought at a supermarket. The carrot cake is very moist and sweet. The cookies are also yummy. I would definitely recommend this place if you love pie! read more

This place is an absolute gem! I'm the kind of person who thinks that dessert especially pie can & should be eaten at any time for any reason. Pure Love Pies makes my pie loving self very happy. Thus far I've tried the coconut, squash, navy bean & pecan pies. The Navy bean pie is a revelation. This isn't the bean pie that I remember from my childhood. It's ssssooooo much better! The Navy Bean pie is light & airy with just the right amount of sweetness. No matter which pie you choose you simply can't go wrong here read more

Not understanding all the great reviews. Purchased pecan pie and apple pie for Thanksgiving. Maybe they couldn't handle the volume but the apple pie was liquid inside and no amount of heating could fix it. We threw out. Pecan pie was so sweet it gave me a toothache. Pecan pie is sweet enough...not sure who thought needed to be even sweeter. We threw it out. Luckily someone brought an apple pie from whole foods. Really wanted to support this small business but it was just that bad. read more

Great pies. Going to try navy bean pie today. Little out of my way to shop but worth the trip. read more

Oh. Emmmm. Geeeee. How did I not review this place of love a lot sooner?!?? Their pies are so damn delicious you will never want you to have a different pie again. That navy bean pie is CRACk. If you have an addiction, come here. If you don't have an addiction, come here and get hooked. Get your fix and call it a day and come back the next day and get your fix again. Their pies are bomb dot com. Xoxo read more

Best banana pudding I have ever had! And my family feels the same way! We will definitely keep coming back and try more of their delicious desserts read more

Omg how do you say deelish!!! I discovered Pure Love Pies, while at a local chicken shack. I tried the Navy Bean Pie, and instantly fell in love. I researched the company online and discovered they have a bakery in Bloomfield, NJ, in which I visited last week. First off, the customer service is superb, the guy behind the counter Eric, is hilarious and very customer oriented. I initially went to purchase a bean pie, but everything looked so good. In the end I, purchased a sweet potato pie (which I would normally never purchase, because my mom makes the BEST) ! I must say the pie was really good! Heading back there now! read more

I wasn't a pie fan until I discovered Pure Love Pies. I've never had a bad pie from there and you really do can taste the love in each bite. Best navy been pie and sweet potato pie I've ever had. read more

I was stopped at a red light in Vailsburg and saw a stand with the pies and on a whim I bought a Navy Bean pie. I was skeptical about it. It is Navy Bean after all. All I have to say, it was love at first bite. Everyone should go out and buy their pies. It's heaven in a pie. read more

I don't quite remember how I found this place but I did. I went here on a Sunday and picked up a pecan pie. The owner convinced us to try the butternut squash pie. He swore by it. We took home a slice and that was a mistake. My girlfriend loved it and we ended up going the weekend after for 4 whole pies to distribute to our loved ones. The pecan was also amazing, but that butternut squash pie was something out of this world. read more

This cat knows his pies! The navy bean pie was ridiculously delicious! They're really nice too. My only gripe is they aren't always there when their hours say they should be. I hope this place takes off as this shopping center needs it. read more

As my wife and I ate dinner at the Jamaican restaurant across the street, we sat and watched as a steady stream of customers patronized this little pie place. They must be doing something right, we figured -- so after dinner, we walked over. Their carrot cake is excellent, and has real cream cheese frosting. I'd never encountered a navy bean pie before, but the very friendly guy behind the counter offered us a taste; it's delicious, as is the squash pie. I'm sure they usually have other offerings, but their stock was pretty much cleaned out when we got there. If pie is your thing, I definitely suggest giving this little bakery a try. They seem to have quite a following. read more

This place is really special. Best pies ever. Seriously. And lovely staff. My favorites are the sweet potato pie and the butternut squash pie, but everything I have had here is delicious. read more

I came in this weekend to buy a pie for Father's Day. Pecan pie is my dad's favorite dessert and loved it so much he ate half the pie himself! The whole family couldn't get enough. I'll definitely be back for another pie at some point. Service was fast and friendly too! read more
