Darling little shop right on hwy 116 with plenty of parking. We drove over for a pie to serve our dinner guests. They had a nice selection on this Sunday afternoon. Everything looked fresh and delicious. I had walked in ready to order the chocolate cream pie but the kind lady working that day showed us the list of pies with their sweetness levels and the chocolate was one of the sweeter ones. Hubby doesn't like his pies too sweet so we went back to the drawing board and decided to order one of their fruit pies. Triple berry it is! Wow, wonderful pie, incredible crust, not too sweet and filled with lots and lots of fruit. It was the perfect pie for our family. They sell two sizes of pies but you will be sorry if you don't get the bigger one since they are so delicious. Their highly praised apple is also excellent. There are a couple tables inside if you'd like to try a cookie or a slice of the pie of the day. I love the Mom's Apple Pie metal statue by the Florence Avenue artist, Patrick Amiot, near the front door. We love supporting local businesses and this one deserves a shout out. The lady working the counter was the sweetest, most helpful person too. Thank you Mom's for providing our community with such incredible pies. read more

I've been a customer for decades off and on and am sorry to have to write this. This local institution has gradually degraded and is no longer a place I recommend. I know prices have gone up a lot for everything but the $30 pies just aren't worth it. My friend and I calculated a mark up of at least 1500% based on the fact they grow their own apples. The taste is fine but not that special. I think Betty the original owner must have sold the place or died. There's never anyone in there and they don't like taking cash. They used to sell pie by the slice and the place was packed. Now it's $19 if you want a taste. They used to serve sandwiches too-all that went away. One exception: the strawberry pie is divine, but only available in Early June. I think the place is now a tourist trap, catching the unwary who don't know better. I hope they rethink their business model, drop their price about $12 per pie and work on improving customer service. Bored high school kids are the norm and they can do better. I recommend picking up a frozen pie at Ace hardware in town and cooking it at home. read more

Cute spot with nice service, but just okay for me. I had a turnover, and while the filling was great, I prefer a crispier crust. Coffee was decent (drip only), and the staff was super apologetic and quick to fix an issue with curdled cream. A bit 'meh' on the food, but a charming interior. read more

We were in Healdsburg for vacation and we were going through wineries and stopped by Mom's Apple Pie between winery stops and we loved it! They're in a super convenient location and are open most of the day and right on an apple orchard! We entered the restaurant and we saw all of the pies and pastries and we received a warm welcome from the staff. OMG the baked pies looked amazing and absolutely called our attention! We ordered the medium apple pie for $19 and it was so so good! Apples were all so fresh and the pie had an amazing texture. If you're in the area and love fresh pies and pastries, definitely stop in! read more

Mom's Apple Pie - Choclate cream - Bakeries Near Me - Sebastopol, California

We got lost and came upon this pie shop by accident. It was Friday afternoon and the parking lot was empty. The young lady inside was very helpful and friendly. We decided on two pies to take home to surprise the rest of the family. We purchased a Granny Smith apple pie and a cherry pie. When we got home we immediately went for the pie. Unfortunately both pies were mediocre in taste, the pie crust seemed old and not fresh and there just wasn't anything special about them. We spent over $40 for two small pies. I don't think we will be back. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I had to because people have been very unfair to this establishment. I read all of the terrible reviews and my curiosity was piqued because I love fruit pie and I'm always on the hunt for good ones When I went inside just before closing, a nice young woman greeted me promptly. I asked her which pies were the freshest out of the oven and she told me pretty much all of them were baked that morning. I ordered one organic apple pie and one blackberry hand pie. My kids and I ate the hand pie on the way home and thought it was delicious. There were no seeds in the blackberries, and the folded crust was thin and had the sweet, slight crunch of sparkling sugar sprinkled on top. I grew up in New England and for me, these pies are pretty close to the ones you find at farmstands back East. I've had better, but most pies I've tried are a lot worse. I find a lot of cheap supermarket pies gross, with their over-sweet, probably from a can, gelatinous compote made from gelatin or corn syrup and thick, heavy, almost bready crust. The top of the apple pie is puffy, but the amount of filling is normal for a home-baked apple pie (see photo) The apples are tart and lightly seasoned with cinnamon and sugar. They are applesaucy and not firm. I don't mind that, it reminds me of my mother's pies, but if you are someone who likes your fruit firm, the texture won't be your ideal. The crust of Mom's apple pie is thin - I would guess a primarily shortening base but maybe butter, too. The crust flavor is relatively savory but not too salty. The star of this pie is the apple. Lastly, the cost is high but seems comparable to other upscale bakery pies that I've ordered on Good Eggs, or at Wholefoods (which usually makes a pretty good pie). You can definitely find cheaper pies, but most of tbose are probably made from canned apples, lots of preservatives, or they are several days old and shipped from Michigan or something. Remember somebody has to cut up all of these apples every day or two and roll out the dough on Bay Area salaries. All in, if the type of pie I have described sounds good to you and you're craving pie made from fresh fruit, don't skip this place based on the reviews. read more

Mom's Apple Pie - Cross section of the apple pie - yes, it has a puffed up crust but it has a really normal amount of filling, too. - Bakeries Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Cutest little pie shop you could ever find, saved us from losing our minds as we circled a third time trying to find a winery. We never found the winery, but we decided this stop was worth the frustration. Small places like this make me feel warm and happy. Ordered a blackberry pie al a mode heated up first. Not the best pie I've ever eaten, crust was different than what I prefer, but to each their own. Still a fun stop and dessert is always a yes on vacation. read more

Mom's Apple Pie - Plenty to choose from - Bakeries Near Me - Sebastopol, California

So i have wanted to check this place out for years and we finally did...much to our chagrin. Cute place and by decor screams fall charm! The service was kinda rude and unfriendly. ....it was a Saturday afternoon and can be overlooked! The pies were awful. We had apple and blackberry. Undercooked and flavourless gooey crust. The filling was also under flavoured as well. The oatmeal cookie was pretty greta . read more

While driving from Bodega Bay, Jenner and Guernville were stopped in to pick up some dessert for after dinner later and discovered this great little place. We picked up two pies to go an Ape pie and a Strawberry Creme pie, both high domed and packed full of flavor. The strawberry was made with fresh strawberries and covered with a light whipped cream and the apple was made with local apples both were delicious. They offer a wide variety of pies freshly made in house and look forward to going back to try some more. Check it out if you are in the area, it's a must! Ciao read more

Really disappointed! We had been here years ago and loved the apple pie...first time back in the area so we made a special trip. A lot had changed - cold atmosphere and service, and the pie wasn't as remembered. The crust was dry, lacked flavor, kind of leathery. The filling was mush...reminded us of applesauce. Ate a small amount and threw away the rest. At $20, you want to be wowed, or at least enjoy it. read more

Four visits in three years and I'm still waiting to be impressed. Each time, there's a new letdown -- from pies with giant air-filled domes and barely any filling, to crusts that are flavorless, dry, and crumbly in all the wrong ways. Staff are polite, but "friendly" isn't in the recipe here. Prices are laughably high for what you get. Honestly, I think locals cling to this place because they're desperate for something to feel special about -- but if you've had truly good pie, you'll know this isn't it. read more

Went here for the first time after living in Sonoma County since 1984. File under expensive but worth it. Might be the best Apple Pie I've ever had; Gravensteins of coursel Well worth the visit. Immaculate shop. read more

Best pies without a doubt lived in Sonoma County for 20 years. Would recommend these pies very cute atmosphere to purchase your pies and the service is always friendly and kind to be able to eat one. It reminds me of my grandmother who was born 1914 and everyone in my aunts made pies as well and they tasted just like my grandmother's top-notch baker and cook good old days owned a royal café family history... Brings grandma's good tasting pies feeling back into your house... and bring the old-fashioned feelings home I will stock up on pies every time I go down to Sonoma and visit.. read more

The best apple pie I have had, I can taste the apples and cinnamon and not the excess sugar as I find in large commercial grocery stores. The crust too is light and fresh, a compliment to the apples within. Truly an enjoyable eating experience! read more

This place is the place to go for pie! This is my go to if I need to bring baked goods to an event or holiday and I don't have time to make something my self. Everyone always tells me how good it is and then I have to confess that it's Moms Apple Pie and not my own! I also love stopping here on my way home from the river or beach to grab a slice of pie for my sweet tooth! read more

I took my mother, who always made her own pies, and was highly critical of most pies she ate. She loved Mom's pies, said they were just like the ones my grandmother made. My wife and I go on an annual camping trip with old friends, and after taking Mom's pies to the first one it became a tradition. They all love Mom's pie. We are BIG fans. read more

Mom bakes them!!! Baked with the apples from her backyard orchard, her pies are delicious. Regardless, she claims there are no secret ingredients to her wonderful pies, except the freshness of locally-sourced ingredients she uses! Mom has been in pie selling business since 1983, but let's roll back a few years! Betty Carr, the "Mom", is from Japan. She immigrated to the United States in 1953 when she was in her 20's. She learned her pie making skills while earning a second college degree in Home Economics. She married her late husband, Harry Carr, and they moved to Sonoma County where they operated a 5-acre, 400,000-chicken ranch. But in the 70s they sold their ranch and eventually purchased the current property that used to be a farm equipment repair shop. They started with a roadside fruit stand and then expanded it to a deli. That's about when Betty started baking and selling pies. Sadly Harry passed away in 1992, but Betty kept operating the business and they are still there today! We learned about Mom's Apple Pie through a friend who loves discovering new places. She planned a weekend daytrip to Sebastopol so we could try a few new places including Mom's Apple Pie, and we are so glad we did! The pies are delicious. We should know, because we tried so many of them! Their Gravenstein apple pie was a must of course, but we also tried - Blackberry (Delicious!) - Raspberry (Also delicious! - Pumpkin (Yessss!) - Pecan (Loved it and I am not even a fan!!) - Coconut Cream (Very good!) - Lemon Meringue (I never thought I'd like it, but I did!) and one more that I don't recall! So there you have it! Grab one one or more of their pies if you are around Sebastopol and try them with a good cup of coffee! You'll see what I mean! read more

I absolutely am a fan! I called and ordered a pie, they called and confirmed and let me know when it was ready. Perfect pie. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. And it was THE BEST LEMON MERENGUE PIE EVER! read more

Mom's is on Highway 116, just beyond Guerneville Rd, Sebastopol. I live in Campbell and it is worth the two hour plus drive. The fresh and homemade fruit pies are delicious, as are the tarts. I choose an apple and it was suggested I wait a little as it had just been made. And, there were pumpkin, chocolate cream and banana cream pies and cookies! Hot coffee is available as well as ice cream and a variety of cold beverages. I hesitate to share - there is a little picnic area for customers hidden among beautiful flowers with a sweet view and a delightfully unique water fountain. In addition, the wonderful people who manage Mom's are gracious, kind and hospitable. read more

Gave the place two shots. Both times it was hard to figure out what was worse - the surly service, cold atmosphere, lackluster namesake apple pies, or the extreme prices. Sadly an example of a struggling business raising prices as custom declines. read more

I got the apple pie and chocolate cream pie. The apple pie is just the right amount of sweet and tart. The apples aren't crunchy and have a nice consistency. The staff didn't seem interested in helping and the amount of pies they actually had on hand wasn't many for a Sunday afternoon. The chocolate cream pie is a must. The chocolate was thick like a pudding and was delicious. Mildly firm and was not too sweet. The shop was dead though. Not one person in there which was pretty sad and dreary. Not much to make you stay there and eat either. But if I'm in the area I always go for a pie. read more

Great selection. Friendly server. Note these are fresh baked so expect to pay a bit more than at the supermarket. I liked the crust -- was not too thick -- and we were told that they don't deflate the tops so expect some filling shrink. But on berry and peach pie the fillings were fresh and with real fruit pieces. Not heavy on the starch. It's mostly a take away place but there is a nice couple of tables in the shade near the parking lot read more

Sad that in the heart of apple country, and with a name like "Moms", the pie is so mediocre at best. The average frozen pie is better than what they offer here and at a fraction of the cost. read more

This is an amazing bake shop The pies are fabulous! This is my favorite stop when I am in the area. Mom knows what she is doing.

Quaint little find along the highway and perfect for a little pick-me-up while driving. They had such a wide selection of pies that everyone will definitely find something to their taste. We got the chocolate cream and pumpkin which are among their top 5 pies and both were excellent. The crust is delicate and crumbly - which I'm told is really hard to do. Staff was very friendly and helpful! read more

Went to the gravenstein apple fair today... They DONT accept Apple Pay at their booth. The older lady is just straight up rude to younger folks. She claims they are "off the grid" and that's why they don't accept Apple Pay which is fine but don't be a b**** about it perhaps? The older gentleman was nice, the older lady either needs an attitude check or needs to retire. Please hire friendlier staff as you are definitely losing customers because of it. read more

Love their pies here. Got their apple pie and chocolate pie, so delicious ..the lady who works the counter was nice.

Been coming here every time we are in town. They've fixed up the parking lot and the outdoor seating over the years and cut down an apple tree. Other than that, the apple and berry turnovers have gotten better over time. Don't know about the pies though. read more

I ve had the apple pie here before and didn't like it but I thought I would try the cream pie. I got the banana cream and it was bad. The crust was ok but very very thin on the bottom. The whip cream was also ok but the problem was the filling it was so thick that you had to chew it. Disgusting :( read more

I have come here a couple times to purchase pies for the holiday season. The pies are decent. Usually lots of choices, and sometimes have to order ahead of time, hence calling in. Today, I called to see what pies they had instead of walking in so I didn't waste my time. The lady on the phone was super rude! While k was trying to get info, she rushed off the phone and hung up. Sheesh! If you have customers in store and a customer on the phone, customer service would say, it's polite and professional to ask one customer to please hold while they are helping another customer. Really awful experience considering they want to be recognized as a local family business. I really hate leaving low star reviews, but they deserve just one. read more

What a joke! Place is called Moms apple pie and at 3pm on a Friday, no apple Pies to sell. Waste of a 2 hour drive

I've always gone here for my holiday pies, and just never thought to write a review till I already had the site open and around the Forestville area. It's uh...it's really good. Their berry pies are fantastic (the blackberry is always a particular favorite), the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving is a serious win, and last Christmas I decided to try out a chocolate cream pie and it was luxurious and delicious! The prices is, as at least a few other people have noted, kind of high, but it's really not that bad for the quality. But certainly if you're on a tighter budget, this isn't the best option. Still hard to beat in the county. read more

Gee I'm really sorry but it's just not worth the money-prices are steep. The first time we got a small lemon meringue (~($17), and the meringue was super runny, and the filling had too much gelatin and not enough lemon, but the crust was good! Second time got a banana cream pie slice (~$7). The filling was super bland and way too much gelatin. There was a scant quarter inch of whipped cream on top. The crust was good. We ate the crust and tossed the filling. Maybe the fruit pies are the magic? We havent tried the food but if you are a pie shop, the pies should be good, no? read more

Mushy and bland apple pie. Extremely over priced.... I something expected better for $20.00 read more

The pies here are good, but I'm oddly disappointed each time I've stopped in here. It feels empty, stark and like there's not enough activity. I wish I didn't feel this way because I'm satisfied with the baked goodies I've purchased, but I never feel welcomed by the atmosphere to sit and enjoy my goods or meet a close friend for a bite. Service is prompt and easy, selection is always extensive. This would be a place I'd like to bring my laptop and grab a coffeee and a hand pie and get some work done or catch up with a friend, I'm hoping in the future it can become that! read more

Very disappointed the last two times buying the apple turnovers from Mom's Apple Pies. They are burnt on the bottom and corners and that's not ok when it comes to any food being sold for money. In fact when food is burnt it should be thrown away not sold!!! If this happens again, I will no longer do business with Mom's Apple Pies. Please correct this problem so I can continue doing business with your company and supporting you especially at times like these (covid) when you need it the most. FYI no one wants to buy burnt food items and selling them to customers is unacceptable. read more

I am obsessed with little mom & pop shops and this one one of them! Came here a few years ago for a pie and came back with the hubby this time after a day on the coast. The moment you walk in you are hit with the aroma of pie! This place is nostalgic and reminds you of grandma's kitchen. Mom started this business in 1984 and continued the tradition of hand made pies. All sorts of pies are available from fruit pies, to cream pies to sugar pies! We ordered an apple pie, apricot pie, and a banana cream pie. Pies were fresh and flavorful and oh-so-good! The crust is light and crispy so when you cut it it crumbles a little but once you scoop that piece of pie onto your plate and take your first bite, you'll be wanting more! Can't wait to go back for more pies! read more
