This evening I walked in with hopes of receiving better service, but I have given this establishment one too many chances and should have known better. There was a large group ahead of me in line and only one person working at the counter. I could clearly see at least one other employee in the back, so you would think it would be common sense to have them come up to help serve this large group of 20+ people. The other times I have came here the service has been equally as shameful...long lines, dirty tables, out of staple items, etc. I will not be back. In response to the owner, I stood in line for 5 or so minutes and the employee in the back did not come up to help within that time. The employee in the front did not ask for assistance to serve the large group. I don't mind waiting in line for a quality product, but I'm not going to waste my time when there was no sense of urgency to provide service in a timely manner. During a past visit, a very similar situation happened. Service times were very long and a lady complained to the same employee who I saw working tonight. I'm clearly not the only one who has had an issue here. In the past (not this visit), the tables have been dirty (sticky, napkins left behind, etc.). This is usually not a big deal to me, but I want to emphasize my point that the service isn't the best at this specific location, which is why I will choose another location where I've always gotten great service. read more

Clean and following Covid regulations. I like the atmosphere, but that's where it ends. I do not like the texture of the ice cream. It's more of a gritty, icy texture. I know some people enjoy that, so if you do then you'll love it. Desserts were subpar. read more

When I walked in they have this huge old movie projector that kids just run to wondering what it is, and of course you can't touch it. Its out of place and is a accident waiting to happen. My son whom is 3 tried to run and just figure this out. They need to build an actual structure around this if they are going to make it center attention. My kids had the chicken soup and grilled cheese which was common and nothing special about it. I noticed that there was a lot of dust on the HVAC pipes and I was not close to them. If I could see that they could too, it would look nicer if the place was clean. The parking is really odd as its a quick turn into a forced line parking. I understand that this is the position of the place but its just not easy unless you know exactly when to turn. My gps and google maps could not figure it out perhaps a road sign would help out. read more

The Pie Kitchen - Desserts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I love their caramel apple pie with some ice cream ! My favorite dessert! Great place for a date as well

This has never been my favorite dessert place. I know that's practically blasphemy in Louisville but I'm just like, "eh...... it's okay". That was even my attitude when I was meeting friends at their Highlands location weekly. My son opted to go without dessert tonight. My boyfriend had the Dutch Apple pie warmed up with chocolate ice cream. I had a scoop of Spumoni ice cream. He loved his. Mine was perfectly good except for the disgusting, almost oily film it left in my mouth (it tasted good but felt horrible). For some reason, it just lacks and always has lacked a wow factor for me. I will say that I'm glad they salvaged their cute furniture from the old location. I also must warn you about the sneaky curb. It looks like pull in parking but there is actually a curb between the parking spots and road. It's hard to see at night. Not cool. read more

Such an amazing experience! One of the workers (I think his name was Josh) was especially helpful. Definitely will be going back!

Fantastic pies, cakes and muffins. My wife loves sugar free apple but would like more options such as sugar free cherry pie

Visiting family in Ky from PA we had this cake for a bday party. Never had I ever had something so delicious! The icing was very thick and sugary but amazing. The cake was moist and heavenly. Thank god this place is in another state! Mmmmmmm read more

Complete disappointment! Key lime pie had zero flavor, wasn't tart & was really just whip cream w pie crust. Chess pie was way too eggy. Banana pudding was runny & brownish Daughter got orange creamsicle ice cream & it was AMAZING!! Seemed to be a popular place but I wouldn't recommend it read more

I love this place the Smurf flavor is absolutely unbelievable!!!! The staff was so nice a polite great manners.

The best banana pudding I've ever had! I also love the four layer dessert, but really you can't go wrong with anything here.

Overly sweet, overpriced and rude. The kid working at register looked really really young. We asked him if pies were baked fresh on same day. He said he's not the baker (with an attitude). No common courtesy or customer service whatsoever. We paid $17 for a pie, thinking it must be good to command that kind of price. Wrong. Overly sweet to a point of inedible. A total waste of time and money. read more

Ice cream. Pie. Cookies. Cake. Sweet goodness. Okay - really how could I not give it 5 stars. In my book - you would really have to screw up sweets in order for me to knock you down. I have loved every flavor of ice cream I have ever tried and the staff never gets impatient with me and my "sampling". The cookies are AWESOME and they can make just about any custom shape or order you want. If you are feeling adverturaous I would suggest trying one of their cupcakes ... they ice is upside down and it's to-die-for. I have seen the sandwiches on the menu but honestly I always opt for a meal out of ice cream instead - but I do hear they are fresh as welll. read more

The Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen is always a good idea if you have a sweet tooth and are nearby one of their many locations. This place is full of treats that will satisfy your craving...cakes (by the slice or whole), cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, and pies galore. I love being able to walk in and have so many options to choose from. It's really great if you are with other people who might not dig the same desserts as you do! I frequent this location after having a meal at Coal's Pizza often, which is right around the corner. Some of my Pie Kitchen (what I call it for short) favorites include but are not limited to: cookie monster-a cookie sandwich with cake frosting as the center and decorated on the outer cookie to look like a cute monster, iced sugar cookie, smurf ice cream (blue and white deliciousness), italian cream cake, reese's cake, and yellow cake with caramel icing-either in cake slice or cupcake form. Lastly, feel free to stop by or call in to place a cake or pie order the next time you need a dessert to share/bring to a function. They are not cheap cakes/pies, but always look and taste good and are much easier than making your own. :) read more

I mean, what can I say that's not already been said? I ordered the Chocolate Chess Pie; it was PRETTY good. I say that only because, compared to my wife's Reese's peanut butter cupcake, I struggled with food envy the whole time. We brought our two kids (2,1). They split a kid's double scoop of Green Apple Sherbert. It was *deliscious*. Tasted like a green Jolly Rancher. Needless to say, they devoured it. We purchased all of these scrumptious delicacies for a fair price($9.57). Will I come back? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Did I say yes, yet? read more

I came here after dinner for a quick dessert with a friend and the staff was friendly. They recommended what I should get but I decided on the blueberry sorbet. A small is very fulfilling and was more than enough and the price was very fair at $3. read more

Wow wow wow.... I'd heard good things about this place...but wasn't ready for what I experienced. This place is AMAZING! So much so that, we got to Louisville on Friday, left early Sunday morning, and managed to go get snacks from this place twice. That's right...I'm a fatty. The first night the wife and I hung out there. Great atmosphere, booths and an outdoor section to eat at. Night one I got a piece of Oreo Cheesecake and the wife got a piece of Apple pie covered in caramel with ice cream. She and I both were in food heaven. Night two wet just stopped in for a snack to take back to the hotel to eat while we watched a movie. She got a caramel covered yellow cupcake. Seriously, this cupcake was dipped in caramel...Fully! (Wow). And, I got a giant ass chocolate chip cookie which could smack the shit out of any mall cookie (Which I love). All in all, I would go back to this place on a day trip just to get a small bit of another cookie...so very very good. read more

Got to the store at 9:05 PM, door was open, and there were quite a few people still eating at tables. There was even one person at the counter ordering. However, we were immediately yelled to that they were closed, then we were ignored. I get that they close at 9, but if you're planning on turning people away, at least lock the door. And more importantly....CHANGE YOUR POSTED HOURS. We knew it was late so we checked their hours on Google before leaving. Google said 10 so we got in the car and drove 15 minutes to be rudely turned away. I will say I like their pie fine. Ice cream is nothing special. Minus this instance, I'd give it a 3 based on food, but it's really annoying to drive somewhere, get in the door, then get told to leave... read more

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to indulge. There are all sorts of cakes, pies, cookies and ice cream to enjoy here for a cheat day. I love the chocolate-chip, pecan pie and, of course, the Caramel, Dutch Apple Pie. The servers here are great and you're bound to leave a happy camper. read more

The Pie Kitchen - Pie and cream. The best combo - Desserts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Oh, so Delicious ! The Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen is Heavenly. There is a wide variety of treats- ice cream, sundaes, pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes- and everything is homemade from rich, quality ingredients. Try the caramel-frosted apple pie, oh my! read more

Sad to say on national ice cream day there was ONLY two employees working the front counter and the customer line was raped around the counter. Bad management decision. Not to mention it's 89° outside. read more

I went to this place in early October shortly after I moved to Louisville. They had excellent pies. We tried the following which were all delicious - Chess, Lemon Chess, Chocolate Chess, Pecan Chocolate Chip, Dutch Apple. I would give this place 5 stars if not for the bad service we got that day. The guy that served us was not very pleasant, looked so serious like he was working at a funeral home, didn't talk or make any suggestions and was almost patronizing. That ruined our experience and made me wonder if I should ever go back. Thankfully, I went to the Frankfort Avenue location and the guy's service at that location was so good it redeemed the chain. I didn't want to give this place bad reviews just based on one bad employee's service. read more

Stopped in on our visit to Louisville. Strawberry rhubarb awesome, mixed berry was good as well. Carrot cake was nothing special. read more

The Pie Kitchen - Decor - Desserts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

They always have a line, even during the winter months which indicates just how popular this place is! Not a long wait or anything though, so this should not prohibit your going. Dutch apple caramel, French silk, chocolate chess, and yellow cake with caramel frosting are some of my personal favorites. This location has a really nice storefront and outdoor seating. read more

Can't go wrong with homemade ice cream and pies!!!! This is a place of pure joy and happiness. My friends got pie slices to go and they were mighty delicious. Decent sit down area, lots of ice cream and pie varieties. I saw they even had a few kinds of ice cream pies in the freezer. read more

Homemade Pie and Ice Cream Kitchen will deliver on whatever sweet thing you are craving. The atmosphere is one of an old fashioned ice cream parlor combined with grandma's kitchen. Everything is good! I usually judge the quality of a place's ice cream by their mint chocolate chip, so naturally I had a scoop of that. I wasn't disappointed! It was delicious and my boyfriend's creme brulee ice cream was tasty as well. Definitely go to one of their two Louisville locations! read more

All I can say is: wow!!! Great ice cream, pleasant staff and too many things to choose from! read more

Holy COW was this place awesome. It took me a good 15 minutes to decide which of the delicious treats to try. Location is great - lots of places to sit-down including a kid-sized old fashioned table, which my 2-year-old adored. Ice cream, cookies, cheesecake, pies, OH MY! To cut back on decisions, I decided to get pie AND ice cream! The dutch apple caramel pie was TO DIE FOR. I am not kidding, this stuff was heaven. Topped with praline ice cream? It's like a little bit of heaven. I'm glad I'm not from the area because I'm sure I'd weigh 350 pounds if that place was less than a 5-hour drive. read more

This location is okay. It's generally a good experience. I have a bone to pick with the consistency. Many a time, I've sent my husband out to get a slice of my favorite (Chocolate Meringue), and it's come back with the pudding part completely inedible. There were 'bubbles'? I don't know. But it wasn't the smooth consistency of chocolate pudding that it should be. Sometimes they let a last piece of pie sit in the case and get stale- then you get a piece (because they sell it) that has air-hardened edges, yuck. This location is run by teenagers. So sometimes, you get a complete deformed piece of pie do to the person not being able to get it out perfectly, so they just slosh it in the box- I guess they figure if it's "to go", you won't notice, or it won't matter because you won't be there when you eat it. In the summer, the place is so crowded, the line goes to the doors practically. One day I saw a middle-aged woman, I guess she was eager to avoid the line, STEAL a box of Valentine's cookies off a promotional table. I was appalled. I guess I would say I've had better overall experiences at the original Pie Kitchen at Bardstown Road and Taylorsville. read more

The service was amazing. The girl behind the counter was very sweet and very helpful since it was my first time there. The ice cream was delicious. I highly recommend Boston Cream Pie. We also got the CakeBalls, which one is just enough with a small cup of ice cream! read more

I hosted a birthday party for my fiancé with the worst birthday of all time ... the day after Christmas. So the old St. Mathews standby, Plehn's bakery, was not an option because they were closed. But the Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen was open to make the cake fresh. Now I had been to "the pie kitchen" several times for ice cream, but wasn't all that impressed with the pie I had years ago, so I thought ordering a Birthday Cake there was a risk. But the risk paid off big. Not only was the cake beautiful but it tasted A LOT BETTER than any cake I had from Plehn's. Yeah, I will still go to Plehn's for donuts and bread, but Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen takes the cake ... literally! Everyone at my party agreed and didn't want me to escape with the left overs. Their people were also very helpful in the ordering process too. read more

Love this place! Great selection of ice cream, pies, cakes and cookies. Decided to have cinnamon ice cream that was delicious. Daughter had a sugar cookie that she loved. Of all the pie kitchens this one has the most character. Love the location that is part of the old Vogue theatre center. This is a place that you actually want to hang out at and enjoy the vibe. Price is great! Ice cream was under $3 for a generous one scoop cone. read more

Homemade ice cream using locally sourced dairy. You can taste the difference in the food here; delicious cheesecakes and ice cream and a warm slice of pie help soften the cold weather. I will definitely be returning read more

Great ice cream, pies, cake, and cookies. I hate to admit it, but i am obsessed with this place! Their Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is my favorite! They also have the best made to order cake I have ever tasted. read more

I keep trying so hard to find something here that I like but really it just isn't happening. The chess pie just tastes like fat. Like the batter left in a bowl that you lick, but not even tasty. And the apple pies are just so underwhelming. The butter pecan ice cream is so sugary. Definitely prefer any brands over theirs. Big fan of the banana pudding though. Staff are patient with giving people samples and are always friendly. read more

First time to this very quaint and cozy dessert restaurant. Tried the peach pie and had the cinnamon ice cream. It was Terrific! The pie crust was very tasty, melt in mouth good! Also had the chocolate cake which was very good, but I think my husband and I were going into overload. Recommend this place to anyone wanting something for dessert or something to satisfy a sweet craving. read more

It was FABULOUS ! And we didn't have to wait an hour! It truly far exceeded our craving for a unique dessert experience!

Not a big fan at first, but now I love it. Chocolate chip cookies are the best if they aren't over cooked. By far the best thing they have is the Reese cupcake!!! I thought it might be too much, but it is now my favorite thing they make. Cupcake with any icing is a sure thing as this place but the Reese is the one you will make a special trip for in the future. read more

I was greeted with a smile and a delicious piece of warmed chocolate pecan pie with homemade butter pecan ice cream. How bad could that have been? read more

Pie and Ice Cream. No better combo. Love places that support local farmers and keep ingredients simple and none artificial. Not to mention their selection of cookies. Try the Reese's or Chess pie with Cinnamon ice cream. read more
