    My wife and I were lamenting the other day about how there was no authentic pie shop in/or near Escondido. We started to recount some of the kind of pies we used to enjoy. Then out of the blue, we were watching a show and a coconut cream pie was on the screen glistening and winking at us to bolster our appetite for some delicious slice of decadence. Well, as my mouth was salivating from that encounter, I set my sights on finding a coconut cream pie for us to enjoy. And lo and behold, what do I see as I was driving home from Palomar Hospital? Debbie's Restaurant & Pie Shoppe!!! So, I immediately made a quick turn into the parking lot with my sights on seeing a coconut cream pie in person. Alas, the parking lot was nearly empty (it was about 2:55 pm) and the restaurant was looking empty. By the way, great decorations on the outside and inside the restaurant are colorful and inviting! Well, restaurant was empty. But, not the refrigerator!!! There so many different kind of pies. Wow! I asked a very nice lady if there were any coconut cream pies available. She looked in the refrigerator and there was one coconut cream pie left. This brought a big smile to my face!!! Yes!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Brought the special treasure home and was so excited to try a slice. The crust was buttery and the coconut cream filling was perfectly sweet with the coconut bits and the whipped cream with toasted coconut bits on top was amazing!!! Definitely going back to try the restaurant regular meals, with room for a slice of pie of course!!!

    Stopped in for a quick Saturday lunch with a girlfriend. Nice little menu of breakfast and lunch diner staples. We both got the 1/2 sandwich and a slice of pie special. I got the egg salad which was a little light on egg, but tasty, plus the corn chowder. Service was prompt and polite but not intrusive. Very cute little hole in the wall with many pie options. I'll try the strawberry rhubarb next time!

    We've visited Debbie's Restaurant & Pie Shoppe for breakfast on multiple locations, and it's always wonderful! This time, I mixed it up and ordered lunch. Their bleu cheese dressing is TO DIEEEE FOR! Every item I've tried has been delicious. Always looking forward to trying something new. :) Service is excellent, with that classic home style breakfast spot vibe.

    It looks fantastic whole, but I saved a slice

    I ordered a banana cream pie for Thanksgiving and man was it fantastic We ate almost all of it already, and this pie is to die for with real whipped cream, lots of fresh bananas, intense flavor with thinly sliced almonds on top ~heavenly It's a very busy local shop with fantastic coffee and breakfast items on the other side, yet my service was quick and quite pleasant upon pick-up. We have a new pie shop

    The Debbie's legendary Chicken Cali Cobb Salad w/bleu cheese, no onions...

    Time to write an updated, and current review for my favorite diner in North County... Debbie's has been our "Go-To" spot for a several years now, it's part of our routine, Debbie's, buy a lotto ticket next door at the liquor store, Costco and whatever other errands that day.. Enough about me, let's get on to Debbie's, shall we..... Debbie's has always been consistently excellent with their food, service and prices... Yes, Debbie's changed hands a year or so ago...I admit, I was worried, I hoped they would keep everything the same, and they did just that.. It's the same awesome diner as when Debbie owned the joint.... Kudos to the new owners, they kept everything exactly the same.... Same consistently incredibly tasty food, Same excellent service, and believe or not, they kept the prices the same.... #WINNING The OG servers, Debbie 2.0, Mary, and Karen are simply the best...geez, where else can you go and they know you so well, when you walk in the door, they submit your "regular" order.... Ok, I love their Cali Cobb Salad, no onions, with a side of the delicious homemade bleu cheese dressing...but, over the years, I've had pretty most of the items on their menu, and yes they're equally as tasty..... So I'm ending with this, if you want incredibly tasty comfort food, super service (where the staff actually remembers you;) and fair prices, go to Debbie's... Once you eat here, you'll return, again, and again, again... Thank you to the new owners who kept everything exactly the same as when Debbie owned it, as the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"...

    We went on a sunday morning around 9am and it wasnt packed at all. However as the morning continued, it did get more busy. Our food was delicious and the service was pretty quick. I orderd abc omelette with hash browns and chose cinnamon roll as my toast. My mom ordered from the senior breakfast and a hot chocolate. I cant rememeber our other meal but it was great to end it with an Apple Crunch pie with ice cream. I would come back and Im excited to try all the pies.

    Went here to find a new pie place and omg these are freaking incredible!! Very hole in the wall place, feels like being at grandma's home! Very sweet servers. Can't wait to come back and try more off the menu! Happy to have found our new holiday pie place! They're all delicious but that dutch apple is AMAZING!!

    Everything was delicious. We had a combo of breakfast & lunch for a family of 6. We had the spinach omelet, Reuben, hash eggs Benedict, French toast combo.

    Hubba Hubba... don't forget to grab a slice of pie!

    Hometown restaurant with an inviting vibe. No frills or crazy lines. No need for red bottom shoes and expensive handbags. Bring your appetite and get the kids dressed for breakfast! Just come in and get ready to eat some delicious food. A slice of pie will run you $7. Tier display case has several pies to purchase as well. I tried the egg salad sandwich and it was good. Waitresses were assisting each other which is always refreshing and makes the mission easier. Restaurant was clean and place was packed. It's quaint and has ample parking. In the strip mall so no stairs or elevators to catch. Support local and give it a try.

    Debbie's omelet and Nick's Omelet

    Very delicious food. We usually come here 1 or 2 times a month. My boys really enjoy it.

    Such a cute local spot. Very home environment. It was a little hot inside but they have some ceiling fans. I got a hot coffee & it was average but good. The blueberry muffin was really dry that's why they give butter on the side. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito. It was super super hot!! But that's a good thing bc u can tell they made it fresh. I was able to get a side of salsa with it. The cherry pie is super tart & coconut pie was okay. Our server was really nice & surprisingly the food came out super fast right after we ordered. I really want to try the Dutch apple pie or pumpkin pie next time I come back!

    the pecan chocolate chip pie
    Roch B.

    I'm in Escondido occasionally from L.A. for business. (the business of tournament Disc Golf) Creature of habit that I am, I stay at the same trusted AirBnb and often eat at my favorite restaurants - but I was looking for a new breakfast joint. Debbie's Pie Shoppe popped up on a search and, when I saw that they were a full-fledged bakery - in business for 27 years! - I knew what I had to do... bring this home for wifey: THE PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE What?! I had no idea this was a thing! This concoction of toasted pecans, luscious chocolate, that pecan, slightly mapley, rich and creamy-goo that happens when things are properly caramelized and lovingly prepared...holy cow, it was so outrageously good, it was in fact beyond description. You've GOT to try this. Bring one home to Ye Olde Home now. Thanketh Me Later. P.S. - Thank you to the bright-eyed, smiling and lovely woman that was working attentively at 0700 that Sunday morning...you're the best!

    Special today: strawberry French toast !   With real strawberries not the canned syrup stuff!
    Carina M.

    Fast service the food was tasty, just like mom/ grandmas home cooking. Impeccable food and service, 10/10 recommend!

The cashier let me know that the apple fritters I was looking at were fresh out of the oven and still warm, so I had to try those and they were the best apple fritters I've ever had! (Fresh is always better, of course). But we also tried their blueberry cake donuts, maple bars, glazed old fashions, and a few others and all were very soft, luscious, and just a perfect version of that type of donut. I have high standards for baked goods and it only took touching one of their classic sugar covered donuts and feeling just how pillowy soft it was to know they have an amazing rise and fantastic quality. I will be returning here from now on for all my donuts!! The shop is cute inside too. They have small tables for eating your purchase afterwards and offer coffee and tea. It doesn't feel like you're in the way here and the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. No critiques whatsoever!

My favorite way to enjoy Wynston's is the ice cream flight with 4 small scoops of different flavors. While parking right in front of the place is often taken, there's a free garage nearby they validate for. So, if you love you some ice cream, head on over to Wynston's.

It's really the best way to sample all their delicious flavors. I had to try their monthly flavor, 'What's Up, Doc?'. Carrot Cake Ice Cream? How?! Well, it's true. They turned a classic cake into delicious ice cream. The other 3 flavors... Obrigaderia Brazilian Truffle Lemon & the Blueberry Swirls Parmesan Apricot We couldn't pick a favorite flavor this time.

I remember when they were across the street, even smaller storefront....and now they have TWO locations in San Diego county. Team members are always smiling. You can tell the owners care about their employees...there's a sign up....this is a no-tip business. They pay their employees a livable wage. That, in itself, speaks volumes! Oh, and don't forget to ask for a pup cup if you have your pooch with you. #longlivewynstons
