We have been coming to Concan for about 12 years. We have seen the Concan Pies sign on the fence and talked about it frequently. This year we finally decided to try a pie from them. I knew it was a "first come first serve" type situation so I called to get their hours. They do not have a website (only Facebook). I got a very informative recording about how to order pies and their hours, etc.
So, I called back at 11:00 to order pies for my group. The old man who answered the phone was hard of hearing and slightly rude. I think maybe he thought he being funny but he never understood what I was asking him. I asked about the process for ordering pies. He said "you tell me what you want and I give it to you". So I got more specific and asked how far in advance I needed to place an order to pick up pies. He laughed and said "well I guess no more than two years". So I gave up, we drove up there. I got an apple pie and a peach cobbler. The prices are about double what is reasonable for a fresh homemade pie, and about three times what you would pay in a regular bakery. My two items were $46.00. The peach cobbler was very good. The apple pie had a solid layer of cinnamon on the bottom and none of my group liked that much cinnamon. The young guy working the counter when we arrived was super friendly, but the crusty old guy answering the phone needs to hand that job over to someone else. You need to be able to nicely explain your process to tourists (without being a smartass) when you choose to operate in a vacation destination. read more
