    God's gift to mankind... carrot cake
    Nicholas L.

    Now, I'm not one of these folks who write lots of reviews, you either have to really screw up or do really well. In this case it was the latter, and let me explain the situation. My wife's birthday was fast approaching and I knew she loved carrot cake, we had come to Pie Gourmet before for other goodies and I wanted to have them make her cake. You may have astutely noticed that cake and pie are different. So, I asked if they made carrot cake, and they did but not all the time. So I begged if they would for her birthday and they agreed. I picked the cake up and it was perfect. Well, perfect is an understatement. Let me explain the depth and complexity of this cake. It's heavy, but right below that line where it becomes too dense and in that sweet spot when you know it's going to be amazing but not that it will form into a 50lb lead weight in your stomach. It was incredibly moist, and decadent. The carrot and spices were in perfect balance, leaving that little bit of crunch from the carrot and the little bit of nuts included added just that little extra crunch. The base of the cake had this perfect little crisp too it, not too crispy but just a nice light caramelization of the sugar forming into a subtle crunchy texture, just amazing. The icing on carrot cake can often be too sweet or too rich, not here, it was a perfect balance. If I am lucky enough to know the day of my death, then I will request this cake, so that I can experience heaven prior to passing. 10000/10 would try again(daily)..... I'm actually glad they don't make it daily or I'd be broke outside of the store asking for change to get another hit of the cake, homeless, and strung out on carrot cake.

    Their system is broken.

    This is my second bad experience with Pie Gourmet, and I can't in good conscience recommend them. If you deal with them, even in writing, there is a high chance they will mess up your order. The first time, I ordered a gluten free pecan pie and stopped in to pick it up on the way to a holiday party. I was hugely pregnant and they said they had no gluten free pies even though they had my order. They did t make it and couldn't find it. I left in tears. Now I am in with an order. They did not have what I placed online due to the holiday menu - totally fine. When I spoke to an employee on the phone, I switched my order to pumpkin and made sure the pickup date was today. Well, nothing got changed on the order. And they are taking walk in orders but refused to sell me a pecan or pumpkin pie even though I already paid for it. So again leaving empty handed despite paying for pies. Honestly, go anywhere else. It's not worth it. The owner will blame you and refuse to help. There are great pies elsewhere in the area. No desire to help customers or admit that maybe someone on their team made a mistake. I can't believe I'm walking away again with no pies. And I do have the email showing no pickup date listed, so convenient for them to blame the customer when their system is wrong.

    Definitely is not my go to pie shop. We typically will drive out to mom's apple pies in Leesburg. My partner loves pie so much, anytime he sees a pie shop he will stop in and try it out. The first time he went here was two weeks ago. He brought me home their chocolate pie and also their Nutella donuts. The donuts were actuallly really good but the chocolate pie was the worst chocolate pie I've had and I think it's pretty hard to mess up chocolate pie. The pie crust was good but the chocolate filling and whipped cream on top were awful. Today he stopped by again to give them another try and I declined when he asked if I wanted anything. He did bring home a pot pie for dinner and I was curious to try it. He made it in the oven and told me the one I make is better. This pie was almost $30 so I think we both had higher expectations. The chicken inside was touch and hard to chew. I think again the pie crust was good but inside lacked flavor.

    Pecan Pie
    Maitrayee D.

    Had ordered two types of pie Banana and Pecan pie. Both were tasty .Banana cream crust was underbaked. Banana cream had too much of cream. It was tasty . Loved the pecan pie too . Generous amount of pecans . If you heat it up it tastes very good.

    Apple Pie
    Christina N.

    I ordered an apple pie online for pick-up the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. There's only one line, regardless if you're picking up or ordering at the counter, and it moves slowly. It took me about 25-30 minutes to pick up my order, which was longer than expected, but they had a bunch of people working so I didn't mind! As for the pie, it was pretty good. The pie crust is buttery and not sweet. The filling is also not too sweet and the apple chunks are large, which makes heating it up in the oven take forever. I would come back since there are so many options!

    French Silk pie
    M D.

    This place was recommended on a FB group that we frequent so thought we'd give it a shot. Drove 30 minutes to Vienna. We were underwhelmed by the shop itself. Inside is well stocked with products. The young man who helped us was very attentive. We ordered a whole French Silk pie. To say this pie was awful is an understatement. The whipped cream was flavorless, the filling tasted odd and the crust had weird chunks in it. All 3 people in our family thought this pie was terrible. The worst part was we paid $35. ‍ Ridiculously overpriced and so disappointing. We learned 2 things today... don't trust FB recommendations and don't get the French Silk pie from The Pie Gourmet. The Marie Calendar frozen pie from Giant is phenomenally better and half the price.

    Cherry Pie
    Virginia B.

    Maybe they had a bad day but we got another cherry pie yesterday and the filling is very tight and gelatinous. So sad because the cherries are tart and delicious but it's so dry I won't eat it.

    Delicious gourmet pies, quiche, and lasagna - bursting with flavor! While my hubby and I aren't big on pies, we licked the trays clean! The Spinach Artichoke Quiche is quite creamy and reminds me of a Spinach Artichoke dip with a nice flaky crispy crust. It has a spicy red pepper kick! The Veggie Lasagna is hands-down my favorite loaded up with veggies - broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, red peppers, zucchini, onions, tomatoes oozing with creamy mozzarella and rich ricotta cheese. Your daily serving of veggies wrapped up in a delicious meal! The Chicken Pot Pie is finger-lickin' good will take my hubby's word on it! The plain Cheesecake is so rich, creamy, and a bit dense! The Small pies are surprisingly quite large and filling, while the Large is more like XL. Perfect for sharing! The pies aren't always available in both sizes, there's usually more variety on the weekdays. The cozy shop gets crowded on Fridays late afternoons/evenings and over the weekends, so weekdays are your safest best and to get your pick of the pies! My biggest qualm, hence 4 stars is the highly disorganized and cavalier staff. The workers at the store are a bit snippy and curt, not the friendliest. They carelessly forgot to engrave my hubby's Father's Day cake even after I reminded them to make a note of it. Delivery is super inconvenient with no advance notice. If you're not glued to your phone, you'll miss your order! The delivery guy left when I didn't pick-up my phone. After a round of phone tag, he returned with the unengraved cheesecake. I don't understand why there's an email or text notification or a window to schedule the delivery. Delivery was disappointing and not worth the inconvenience! If you're looking for a night off or two from cooking and craving scrumptious pies, Pie Gourmet truly delivers on its name! Just skip the delivery!

    Apple Peach Pie
    Mahalia C.

    OMG....our wonderful neighbors gifted us an apple peach crumble pie for Christmas. Don't know what we did do deserve such a delicious treat, but we're fans! Less than 24 hours and my husband and I haven't stopped eating from this huge baked dessert. I love the light crumble toppings with the toasted almonds. It's the right amount of sweetness. They're getting 5-stars purely on taste. I can't say much about anything else as we have yet to experience their customer service or ambience of the place. When we stop by and try out other pies, I'll send an updated review.

    Chocolate Cream Pie

    This place isn't what it used to be. I visited today to get a couple of pies. The service was mediocre at best. The staff wasn't rude, but they did not seem inclined to be helpful. I got a chocolate cream pie and it doesn't taste any different than the chocolate cream pie from Walmart. The difference is I paid $7.95 for one slice from Pie Gourmet.

    I'm in line!

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

Since we were back in the area for a DMV for a brief visit we knew exactly where we were stopping before heading to the airport. Hubs ordered his usual sausage, egg and cheese sandwich , and I ordered the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich along with an iced mocha. I had completely forgotten they have a Starbucks on-site with a limited menu. Of course, I couldn't leave without grabbing a cookie and a chocolate croissant for later. The food arrived fresh, hot, and exactly as expected. The staff is always friendly and personable. You see professionals, students and the locals coming in and out, but there is seating available. Conversations are at a minimum and despite the attached restaurant you can still hear yourself and the other person without yelling. One thing I appreciate about Best Buns is the consistency. Whether it's been months or years between visits, the quality never seems to change. The sandwiches are flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and nothing feels like it was sitting around waiting to be reheated. Everything is prepared to order, and you can taste the difference. My sandwich disappeared one bite at a time, and Hubs completely demolished his croissant sandwich without hesitation. That's usually all the confirmation I need. Some restaurants are good. Some are memorable, but there are the places that become part of your routine whenever you're back in town. Best Buns has earned that status for us. Five stars earned! Consistently fresh.

I ordered the food to dine in and it was packaged to go. I wish the food could be prepared for dining in. It's a pet peeve of mine to see all of the grease oozing out of fries in a brown bag.
