First time going to this establishment and what a fantastic experience. They were very accommodating about making just a rhubarb pie for my wife's birthday, not many places make them. My wife absolutely loved it, it reminded her of her grandmothers. Thank you for making her birthday a great one. I can't wait to try additional pies. I highly recommend this place. . read more

Fabulous place. We stopped in very close to closing time and the woman working couldn't have been sweeter. I'm sure she had a lot of stuff to do to close the shop but she took her time explaining what they had available as well as instructions for re-heating. We took home two mini pies (the chocolate chess was exceptionally good) plus two slices of chicken pot pie that we froze and ate about a week later. Even out of the freezer, the crust was flaky and buttery. As if the wonderful pie and service wasn't enough, this place has wonderful values. It's so nice to support a business that brings it on every level. Will definitely be back. read more

The pies are delicious and you are supporting a great cause . Hours are short so you want to check their schedule and plan so you don't miss out. read more

I got a slice of the apple crumble pie and it was really good! I couldn't finish it in one sitting, but the crumble and crust stayed crisp overnight in the fridge. The apple had what seemed to be a caramel on it and they were spiced perfectly. Will definitely visit again to try the other pies! read more

Nothing makes me happier than a trip to the Happy Apple Pie Shop on Harrison!! Of all of the businesses in Oak Park, this is my favorite!! Why? Because I love its awesome mission, the fab staff, handy location, free parking, cute sitting area, and the most incredible hand-made super fresh quiches, potpies, and dessert pies!! Best pie of all time? Lemon Chess! Ideal housewarming gift? Apple Crumble or Chocolate Chess. Coming to visit me? Bring anything! Literally, whatever is not sold out. Bring it to my house. Soon, please. read more

Great pies, the best around. And for a good cause. We have bought many pies here over the years, and they have been of the highest quality.

This is a small, quaint neighborhood pie shop. They have seasonal pie selections. When I was there they had double crust apple pie and it was amazing. They lady working there was a total sweetheart. I'll have to return to see what other exciting pies they have in the fall read more

10/10 classic, uncomplicated, zero hipster vibes just a solid slice of fresh apple pie. Skip looking at hundreds of bake shops to make a heart shaped cake and get the person you love a whole pie from this lovely business. I don't even care for chocolate much less in pie form but the chocolate chess pie from this place absolutely changed my mind. I highly recommend a warm slice of gooey redemption with a piping hot cup of black coffee on a rainy day- superbbbb. read more

The chocolate chess pie is magical. We buy extras of them whenever available then chop them up into brownies & freeze them so when we have surprise guests we just quickly thaw as many as we need, add some raspberries and swirl with extra whip cream for a show-stopping treat. Excellent mission and vision. Easy street parking. Bright & sunny space that is super clean and welcoming. Perfect in every way! read more

The chocolate chess pie is amazing. Crust was very flaky and pie had a dark chocolate flavor.

The Happy Apple Pie Shop is a must visit in Oak Park. I was introduced to this place via my in-laws. I love to shop local and I love pie so it was a must visit. During my first visit I purchased an Apple Pie. I normally am not a fan of Apple Pie but it was delicious. The pie was extremely fresh and a nice size. The crust was just flaky enough but still soft once you bite into it. I was highly impressed with the freshness and got rave reviews from people in my household. I definitely plan to make another visit in the new year. I haven't found many places that make a chest (chocolate) pie so I want to order that one next! I highly recommend stopping by The Happy Apple Pie Shop. Even if you aren't a pie person they make wonderful gifts for various occasions. read more

This is a great pie shop with a great mission. I love the inclusive work environment that they create. I picked up a Chocolate Chess pie for a friend's birthday last week. It was delicious. It looked so good that our friend dug into the pie before we even ate dinner! I'm excited for the Brown Sugar Pecan pie that we're ordering for Thanksgiving. It's great that they have a streamlined process for holiday ordering. Everyone is super nice. I can't wait to go back and try more pies. read more

If you have been looking for a light-buttery-flaky pie crust, filled with fresh fruit and veggies, then this is it. Truly the butter can be smelled in the crust, that when it is bitten into is crispy like biting through a croissant. The vegetables and chunks of chicken were plentiful and a wonderful broth in the chicken pot pie. The signature apple pie is chocked full of chunks of apples and the perfect amount of cinnamon. A little side note, the boxes are sturdy and don't have to worry about carrying more than one pie. read more

The pie we bought was definitely excellent and homemade as if you made it yourself. You need to keep it on your counter but refrigerate if you're gonna eat it for another day or so. Very nice little bakery in back with people with disabilities who work there. Very cheerful and friendly staff. Charming little atmosphere and you can stop and have a slice or buy whole. read more

Didn't realize the pie shop was here because of the huge sign above the store that has nothing to do with the place. The lady at the front was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Glad I stopped in to find this neighborhood gem. I had the Chocolate Chess (reminds me of a fudge brownie) Lemon Lavender, Brown sugar (really good!) mini pies. Also the ham & cheese quiches. The crusts were tasty, and flaky, fillings are flavorful. They sell whole pies, slices and minis. Which I suggest to get if you can't make up your mind. If you're in the neighborhood stop in!!! I've read a few of the comments on this thread especially about the ones saying it's too sweet or they've had better at the grocery stores??? Smh ‍ THOSE piese are super mass produced and with so many preservatives and don't taste as fresh. This is why I can't stand Yelp reviews at times, people always gonna hate. read more

We love the Happy Apple Pie Shop! This is such a nice shop. The staff is so nice and the pies are absolutely delicious! During our most recent visit we had a chocolate chess pie - and it was simply the most delicious pie. I tried to hoard it - only giving my family tiny pieces so that I could enjoy the rest! Their fruit pies are also delicious and they have options that are smaller so you can try multiple. Open Tuesday - Saturday for your dessert options but don't forget their savory pies also! Delicious, friendly and a lovely spot in the Harrison shopping and dining area. read more

Someone gifted me a gift card as a welcome to the neighborhood. Specialty homemade pies freshly made right inside the shop. When entering the shop you can see the kitchen in the back. Friendly customer service. Each week the shop features three new pies. Apple pie is always on the menu along with other specialty seasonings flavors. I admire the business mission of making sure the environment of their customers and workers are equal. I ordered the Canadian brown sugar and chocolate chess pie. I enjoyed the flavors of both pies. I will keep my review updated. Once I taste the other flavors. read more

So disappointed, for thanksgiving we ordered their pie flight. It was supposed to be three small (I believe 7") pies, Pumpkin, checkered (chocolate), and apple crumble. Not only were they super small in diameter they were also much more shallow than a regular pie. All three were way too sweet, the checkered was like a brownie on a pie crust, the apple crumble was not a crumble but had tons of oats and very little apple filling. So not worth the $45+ tax Also purchased a full size pumpkin pie and the crust was under cooked and way too thin from underneath. read more

I've been working in Oak Park for over 10 years and didn't know about this pie shop! They have longer hours so you can actually stop by after work. I picked up a slice of their apple pie. I thought the crust was good and there was a good amount of apple filling. The apples are cut rather small and heavy on the spice. I think I prefer the apple chunks to be larger. Not my favorite apple pie slice, but I'd go back to try their other offerings. read more

This is a very aptly named shop! Our favorites include the pasties, chicken pot pie, key lime pie and of course the signature Happy Apple pie, but everything they make is topnotch with high quality ingredients. They often have new goodies to try, with both savory and sweet options, so it's always fun to check what's cooking there. It's a very warm place with cheery paintings, a warm colors, great service and big smiles. I also love that they support people with disabilities. read more

This cute little shop is all the feels! All the pies I've tried have been delicious, today was strawberry balsamic and it was gone in an instant. The staff is super friendly, the pies are yummy, and purchasing from them also supports a great cause. They teach job skills and employ special needs community members. The pie alone would keep me coming back, but the extra warmth of supporting a wonderful cause is unbeatable! read more

Happy Apple is my Happy Place. Got mini quiche today with Canadian bacon. I just love this place. Their pies are stupendous and I forfeit weight loss for them. Go get your pies today! If you don't I will, fair warning! read more

The food is absolutely stellar. Let's start there. I've never had anything, sweet or savory, it wasn't excellent. The problem is everything else. The woman who runs the place is a very nice person. The staff all kinds of people who have developmental or intellectual delays, and their mission of teaching them all the skills and employing them is really wonderful. But the inside of the restaurant is a cluttered mess.Service can be very spotty as the owner runs to and from the baking area. And they have absolutely no idea how to use social media, so by the time you know, something exists, they may be sold out of it. Plan to order an advance, or come in with no expectations. read more

Disgusted. A so called grape pie? It was gross. The apple pie was ... not k. Not worth the money. Pass read more

I thought these pies were very average and tasted similar to what you could get at a grocery store. The pumpkin pie had such subtle flavoring it almost tasted like nothing. The apple pie was more like pieces of apple with granola as it fell apart immediately and didn't hold together the way you would like a pie to. Instead I was eating all the pieces separately rather than getting some of the filling with the pie crust and the toppings. Maybe their other flavors are better but these were nothing special. read more

Enough already! They lost a client. This is the third time in 6 months that I was told they aren't taking orders and so I can't get a regular old apple pie. Instead they'll "have plenty of the crumb pie" (that obviously nobody wants as much. Learn. Make less crumb.. and more regular if you want to keep clients! I'm done with this place. read more

First time visit today. Chicken pot pie was flaky,full of flavor. We had mini chocolate quiche for desert. Going back on Friday for more. Better than mom's cooking!! read more

Great pie shop! Greeted immediately by a woman.. I think Michelle who answered all of my questions regarding available pies and specials that I read on their Facebook page. Received slice of Apple Pie, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, and (2) mini quiche with Canadian bacon. Yelp Reviews stated that apples are cut small - this is true which I didn't think I'd like but it was ok because crust was nice and buttery! Everything was delicious and I'll order a special flavor pie in advance. Removed a star because I didn't see gloves being used read more

Pie was so average! Had a better pie from grocery store. Sorry, I won't be back to the Happy Apple Pie Shop maybe the baker should tasted the pie before selling it!!!! And way over priced read more

So delicious! Had the shepherds pie and the Guinness stout chocolate pie. Easy curbside pickup, and got about three meals out of it for the two of us. Highly recommend!! read more

I purchased an apple pie 1/11/23 and was not pleased with my pie. I expected apple slices with syrup and instead received tiny kids size cubes with a pasty filler. There was plenty of crust but not very flavorful. The price was outrageous at $38. I will not be returning. read more

Unlike most of the pies that are too sugary and lack real ingredients, the fruit pies here are truly worth the trip from downtown. The store is small but the pies are top notch quality. I had ordered mini pies and full size pie for holidays, service was always good. I also admire their business model- hiring and training people with disabilities. read more

BEST fruit pie I've had since I was a kid! We had the Blueberry Crumble and the Apple Crumble. Really fresh fruit, crust perfectly cooked, even on the bottom (which is often not the case in other places.) The spice is subtle so it just set off the fruit but didn't dominate, and the homemade granola on top was so rich & delicious I wanted it for breakfast. Fortunately we got an extra piece yesterday and had it this morning for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Complete satisfaction. read more

Delightful people, delicious pies! I discovered the Happy Apple Pie Shop this weekend when I needed to bring dessert to a dinner party. The staff was so helpful (and patient with my 3 year old who was very excited and energetic when we arrived). They helped me to land on the double crust apple pie and the lemon lavender chess pie, both of which were fantastic. I look forward to getting another one of these soon! read more

I had heard a lot of good things about this place, so I decided to make a point of it to check it out. I'm a big Key Lime pie fan, so that was on my bucket list to try. Figured I'd see what else looked good and buy a few pieces to take home. Unfortunately there was no Key Lime that day - the key limes weren't available and was told to check back in a couple weeks. I can appreciate that, no problemo. So what to have... A glance at the options resulted in three slice purchases. * Apple. I figure if the place is named after it, it should be good. And it was a good piece of apple pie, but I've had better. * Chocolate chess. It was explained that this is a brownie-like pie, I like brownies, so I gave it a shot. Loved it - lots of chocolate flavor. * French Silk. I got this in part because French Silk pie sounds soooo good, yet more often than not, the ones I have tried over the years fall short of expectations. Not this one. Can you say, "ridiculous"??? Taste bud nirvana. Worthy of its own fireworks display. Parisians and caterpillars stand tall!!! A couple of general thoughts. First, these are not big slices. Maybe half the size of what you'd get at Bakers Square and I'm talking "height", not portion width. That's the only comparison to BS that I'll make here - they're not in the same ballpark by any means. Next, the crust is thin, but kind of mega-tasty and crispy. I was able to eat all but the apple pie by picking it up, rather than with a fork. Finally, at $5 per slice, I probably won't be buying the apple pie much anymore, but I'll be an investor in the French Silk. I'm happy to pay a price for something that truly exceeds expectations. I'll be back. Hopefully for the Key Lime pie. read more

Great tasting pie! Both sweet and savory variety are great. I'm heading to pick up my apple crumble pie for Thanksgiving. If you need a whole pie, I recommend ordering it in advance. read more
