"We REALLY wanted to be able to give this place 5 stars… unfortunately, it just wasn’t THAT good. The pies we got were okay, but nothing short of what we could get from our local MarketStreet Bakery for half the price.We bought a cherry hand pie, a SINGLE slice of Coconut Cream and a hot chocolate. Our total was JUST shy of $20! I thought it was extremely high, for a handpie, one SLICE of pie and a small beverage, but my wife said that she was told by three people how great they were, so I was looking forward.First the hot chocolate… for $1.50 it was THE BEST hot chocolate for the price. The chocolate spoon we were given was a bit overkill after we stirred it in, but overall it was great!The cherry hand pie, meh… I have received more cherry filling in Mrs. Baird’s hand pies with a better cooked crust, as ours was overtly dry and borderline burnt along the edges which resulted in it just crumbling ALL OVER ME and requiring a plate to eat a HAND PIE so I didn’t get crust ALL over us. The filling was cherry… nothing really THAT special. I DEFINITELY DID NOT taste any of the Merlot that they claim is in the flavor… just a sweet and slightly tart cherry pie filling. Lucky Leaf brand, if I were to guess.Finally, our least impressed but the one we were REALLY hoping would be awesome. The coconut cream. There WAS cream, but the ONLY coconut we got was from the sparse coconut flakes and other than that, there was NO other coconut flavor, that me, my wife or son and two daughters could detect. We LOVE coconut cream pies, which is why we had EVERYONE taste it. We thought that maybe we just weren’t able to taste it for some reason… but alas, they said the same: all they got coconut-wise was from the flakes, here and there.Now, all things being equal, the location is super cute, the staff was really nice, although we think one person was new as she didn’t know much at all about the items… and perhaps the items are better when they are more fresh and eaten immediately after ordering, but we took our home, so I don’t know for sure, but the pies are just too overpriced for what we got versus how long we drove to experience things… so we MAY give it another chance, in the future, if we are in the area, one day."
