    Absolutely in LOVE! Heard about this place from friends and a coincidental drive by had me in their doors in no time! i dropped by for thee desserts (hence the name) but while in there, the lovely lady told us they make breakfast and lunch too. That sounds fantastic! I tried the coconut cream pie and the german chocolate. Both were to die for ! The coconut was creamy and refreshing. The chocolate was rich and yummy! The place is very cute. It's an old bank that turned into the pie safe. They still have the safe from back then!

    I have such a soft-spot for the kindhearted business owners out there. This lady is at the top of the list. She handled our family's small invasion with such grace and charm on a very busy morning for her. I was so very excited to get to stop in during a recent trip to the area to visit with my husband's family. This small shop is even more adorable than the initial photos made it out to be. And the food? I posted no photos because it didn't last long enough for us to think about taking any. Our group just had eggs, biscuits and homemade apple butter but they were delightful. The treats we took with us were tasty as well. While sadly I didn't get to try any pie I have enough faith in the baker's skill to order one and have it sent to me in Arizona without ever having tried one before. It may be my Christmas indulgence. If you have any interest in trying this place (and you would be a fool not to), I would recommend looking them up on Facebook. The owner does a really great job of utilizing social media and because of that I was both able to find out about them extending their hours to the Saturday that I was in town and learn about a lovely fall festival that I might not have had a chance to find out about otherwise.

    Dutch apple pie :) delicious!

    The best pies you will ever eat come from the Pie safe Bakery. We ordered a strawberry pie and a coconut cream pie - both were excellent!!

    Live the Pie Safe. The food is reminiscent of my childhood. Shirley, the owner, is friendly. It was like sitting down with an old friend.

    I usually stop in for pie and/or cookies to take home, but the chicken and dumplings are worth a try as well. Friendly and really good food.

    This local establishment was a good find for me. It's a cozy, nicely decorated café that is…read moreinviting and has wonderful aesthetics. I was interested in trying their baked treats, and upon my visit, I found exactly what I wanted to get. The menu variety was good. They offer cookies, pastries, breakfast meals, lunch meals like sandwiches, etc. The pricing was reasonable. I got a Pink Cookie (Southern IL specialty), a Chocolate Chunk Walnut cookie, a Date Walnut cookie, something called an Orange Chipper (a type of cookie), as well as an Italian sandwich (called Bakery Sub on the menu). The Date Walnut cookie was my top favorite. It was soft and also crunchy where the walnuts were. The Orange Chipper was my next favorite, followed by the Pink Cookie (iced frosting shortbread cookie). The sandwich was loaded and had a good flavor. The deli meats (ham, and salami) were fresh. The service was good. This was a gem of a find for me and I would go back there again when visiting Carbondale. Definitely recommended.

    A group of us recently went there and the staff was less than friendly. Very poor customer service…read more They seemed annoyed to be serving us. The drinks were also very watered down. No manners when serving drinks and seemed to have an attitude. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but sadly I would not return here due to the poor service and quality of the drinks.
