I originally visited PieconicNY for a yelp event and enjoyed that experience. The staff members…read morethere were wonderful, friendly and helpful. So, I decided to send a couple of pies to my stepmom for her birthday and ordered them from the website. Unfortunately, the pies did not arrive in time for her birthday - so I had to call and find out what happened. Long story short, they only ship pies on certain days of the week. It wasn't clear that I had somehow missed a deadline...so I'll blame myself for not reading (or, perhaps understanding) the fine print and also say that there's some room for improvement on the website re: shipping expectations/communications. If a customer is paying almost as much as a pie costs for expedited shipping, it's assumed that the order will go out within a day or two of the initial order. The owner actually called me to talk me through it - which was very nice - and he even offered to drive the pies to me (not realizing that I was shipping to another state). Anyway - the pies did eventually get there and they reported back: -shipping/packaging was great -arrived frozen as advertised -they kept frozen until Easter -the crown maple pecan pie was the favorite - hands down winner -the Empire State bourbon chocolate - very rich but (their opinion) - the bourbon flavor was a little too heavy handed. Overall the products here are good quality and I'd check in again at some point.

I've read the other reviews and I'm beginning to believe that people's preferences for pies is…read moresimilar to people's preferences for pizza. Everyone has their own idea of what makes the perfect pie/pizza. I agree with those who praise the service they received. We found Lena to be very helpful and informative. As is pointed out on their website, you can't be certain that they will have the pie flavor you crave if you are a walk-in. Yes, you can order a pie ahead of time, but plan on giving them 48 to 78 hours, and all flavors may not be available to you. Their most popular pies are the Bourbon Chocolate Walnut, the Backyard Apple, and the Chocolate Ecstasy. We tried three "different" pies. I emphasize "different" because not only was each flavor different, but each pie was also different from any similar flavored pie we've ever had. One common difference was the crust. None of the pies had a flaky crust. Instead, the end crusts had a heavy, dense texture that was difficult to cut. It was a good-flavored crust, however. The Chocolate Ecstasy was nicely rich, flavorful, and not overly dense. The Bourbon Chocolate Walnut had a filling that approached the look of a quiche with pieces of walnut and chocolate chips. There was a hint of bourbon flavor, and it was my wife's favorite. The Double Blueberry Crumble may have been my favorite, but my wife tasted an herb flavor that turned her off. This may be why I thought it surprisingly had a savoriness flavor. No herbs were listed on the ingredients. We also purchased a Lemon Cookie. Nice strong lemon flavor, soft and chewy, but once again it was not like any cookie I'd had before because it was as thick as a single layer cake. The coffee we tried was average and lacked the boldness I prefer. There were obviously many things that we did not try. If we are back in the area I'd consider stopping in to try something like a quiche, muffin or cheesecake.

I cannot believe I have never been here before. One of my friends works here and has been telling…read moreme to come here for so long. They are only open on the weekends and I was working at a job near them on a Friday so I knew I had to stop in before work. It's a very cute and unique, bakery and store together.

They offer a wide variety of pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and drinks. Their homemade aioli sauce is out of this world. I look forward to going back!
