The Pie Place makes not only pies but also cakes, cookies, pepperoni rolls, and other baked goods…read morefrom locally produced ingredients. Their pies are available in flavors such as blackberry, blueberry, peach, pineapple, pumpkin, and rhubarb. Their cakes are available in flavors such as chocolate, yellow, white, and red velvet with different flavors of fillings and icings. I first encountered The Pie Place not at their brick-and-mortar store but rather through a farmers' market. I saw small pies in a variety of flavors, and I chose two of the flavors. Each small pie cost several dollars. I ate the pies at home. The apple pie had a crispy crust, fresh apples, and the right amount of cinnamon and nutmeg, and I rate it as 4.5 stars. The cherry pie also had a crispy crust and was filled with sweet and tart cherries, and I rate it as 5 stars.

Situated on Main Street in Manor, PA, this bakery is a diamond in the rough. I've been trying to…read moresupport more small businesses during the quarantine, and needed to order my mother and father-in-law a 39th Wedding Anniversary cake. I've seen others on social media post about this bakery, and I wanted to give them a try. I was so glad I did! Contacting the shop was a little bit difficult. I'll give that to the quarantine situation. But my phone call and email didn't go through, and I had to resort to messaging the owner on facebook messenger to place my order. I was looking for a small cake for just my in-laws to enjoy since we couldn't celebrate as one big family at the time. The bakery offers a large variety of cake flavors, fillings, and icings. I requested an almond flavored cake with raspberry filling and a vanilla buttercream. I also requested simple anniversary decorations, too. When I picked up the cake the owner was cheerful and energetic and showed me the cake. She put the text "Happy 39th Wedding Anniversary" in red lettering because she researched the anniversary and realized it was the "ruby anniversary", so she made it red in honor of that. The simple touches the owner puts into her work really show! The prices for cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods aren't provided on the bakery's website, so be sure to ask ahead of time so you're not surprised. The cake I ordered came to $25.00. I know I could get a cake cheaper elsewhere, but believe me when I tell you that the quality and flavor of this cake was bar-none! My mother-in-law is a huge Oakmont Bakery fan, which would be considered one of Jess B Bakes competitors. My mother-in-law called me after she tried the cake and told me enthusiastically that this cake was better than Oakmont Bakery! My MIL being the sweetheart that she is gave my husband and I a small piece of her cake, and I have to agree with her. The cake was light and fluffy, and there was a thick layer of the raspberry filling so you could actually taste all of the flavors. If you're looking for a local bakery with exceptional flavor and quality, please consider giving Jess B Bakes your business. My family will certainly give them our business for cake orders in the future!

After trying this for the first time I almost have to restrain myself from stopping by there…read moreeveryday. It's SO good. My favorite items were the Oatmeal cookie and blueberry frosted donut. The cookie was soft with just a touch of frosting which compliments it well. And the donut frosting wasn't your typical lathered on frosting, it sort of hardened and gave a little crunch to the donut. What I didn't get pictures of were the chocolate chip cookie, snickerdoodle and the frosted sprinkle donut. All of which I'd get again, I just ate too fast to get photos of. You walk in and it feels like you're in someone's kitchen. Small and cozy area to order from with just the right amount of options to choose from. Maybe about a dozen cookies and pastries. Staff was super helpful in helping pick out what to get and they gave a pamphlet on the way out to see all of the pies, cookies, pastries, etc they make. Really feels like these cookies were made from your mother's kitchen, with the same passion and joy.

Today is the 2nd and perhaps final day of the "soft opening" of TBSP. The first bakery incubator in…read morethe region I got the opportunity to meet and tour with Phil E. the bakery manager. Phil explained to me that unlike Smallman Galley these bakers are be trained and build their reputation in order that at the end of their 18 month run here, they can start their own bakery. I had the opportunity to meet and greet three of the resident bakers-Christina, Jewel, and Sam. Chris, the bread maker was due in later but I did manage to purchase one of his day old French breads to take home. Phil showed my husband and I around the unfinished premises and some of the ideas he's planning. There will be a classroom for promising bakers. Other bakers can come in periodically and sell their goods. He took us into his office where he showed us mannequins acquired from the old Kaufmann's dept store windows which he hopes to showcase at a later date. He also has several dated but still working appliances such as an old time wheat grinder that empties out on the third floor. Much of the 2nd floor is under construction but the 3rd floor houses the main kitchen itself with many of their items donated by local businesses. The kitchen can be rented out for community bakers. They also plan to hold events here with other businesses. I was blown away to see an actual Middleleby-Marshall oven company oven. He showed us how is rotates and is still operable. He was gracious to answer my questions regarding gluten free, vegan, and of course holidays. For gluten free they have a very small selection but they hope to get in Patrick from Paddywagon in Dormont next week to make gluten free and vegan baked goods. Special orders can be taken including wedding cakes, challahs, or anything else large scale to meet your needs. Everything here is local and farm sourced and all the ingredients are fresh. Back to the first floor where the bakers were just starting to put out all those delicious goodies. The choices will blow you away-quiches, biscuits, croissants, muffins, cookies, etc. Didn't see a cake but I'm sure those will pop up later in the day. Their coffee comes from Prestogeorge in the Strip district. Now this is how it works. Hanging on the wall is a picture of each baker and a vertical color stripe by their names and bios. Each of the cases will have the corresponding color noted on the item so you can tell which baker made it. Believe me, it is so easy to just look at all the goodies and forget who made what. In addition they were giving out some free samples of yesterday's baked goods. I got to sample a peanut butter brownie, a raspberry croissant and a carrot muffin. My husband sampled the same brownie. These were all melt in your mouth good! Phil explained to us that anything that doesn't sell is donated to the baker's charity of choice. Since we wanted to take home a taste of everything I ended up buying a mini quiche, a huge apple crumb cake, and chocolate chip cookies from Christina, the chocolate brownies from Jewel, and a loaf of French bread from Chris. We got to see the dough Chris plans to use today to make a walnut bread along with his specialty sourdough bread and more. They do not have a bread cutter yet but they hope to get one soon. Believe me Sam's glazed donuts looked outstanding but we decided next visit. Another interesting thing they have is this wooden coin with their symbol on it. They have cute sayings on the side which you can vote for. The most votes will determine the next T-shirt they use. The concept doesn't stop here. We got to meet and chat with the curator Maria who has bakery related art on display throughout the store. She plans to rotate aspiring and talented artists to display and sell their work here. She had also mentioned the possibly of teaching classes here. Throughout the store you can see old knickknacks and items of yesterday including the old streetcar that used to run on Brownsville Rd. Finally, we got to meet and chat with Jami P the executive manager who oversees operations and was open to any ideas I had. Everything here is very reasonably priced and it is so easy to go overboard. Once home I had the quiche which was already fully cooked and warm along with one of the chocolate chip cookies. They quiche as dense and quite filling-very good. The cookie-soft and moist. The bakery society of Pittsburgh hopefully plans to start their regular business hours this coming Mon. They will be open six days a week with slightly reduced hours on Sat. Located on Brownsville Rd in Mt. Oliver, metered street parking is available or you can catch a couple of bus routes since this is the main street of the neighborhood.

I really want this place to succeed. It hasn't gotten more organized since opening, and could be…read moregetting worse. Staff in the store is challenged, keeping inventory must be expensive. It's a tough business in a struggling neighborhood. please support this business for the people with a dream while it finds its niche. I am disappointed that this morning they had nothing pumpkin so I bought a peach crumble and was overcharged for it as a pumpkin bread pudding and a baguette which isn't great and it was a white bread on my receipt at $3.50. not great and not worth $3.50. I'm sad and not encouraged that they will survive. Maybe somebody had a bad day
