What a great find in Winston - Salem This is a little store that sells so many delightful treats and frozen meals and sides. The staff was so friendly and inviting and didn't mind answering all my questions about their menu. It all looks delicious and I can't wait to heat up all that I bought. I would definitely recommend this cute store! read more

I received the frozen chicken pot pie as a gift. It was horrible. Soupy and veggies were spare. I will stick with my own recipe. read more

Bought frozen chicken pot pie...terrible. e ded up going I to Clemmons to buy pies from Simply Southern Cuisine, just slightly more but worth it, both the pot pies and Moravian chick pies...they are always voted best and now I know why...will never replace except with my own homemade. read more

So I have not been to the store in over a year and half. My how things have changed. They really dont have a variety of box lunches like they used too. Lady was rather not really rude but rather snobby. For a chicken salad croissant sandwich, fruit, potato salad and a brownie and i got a can Dr. Pepper almost 13.00 dollars. The chicken salad one had a little chicken salad on it. More croissant then chicken. So needless to say it will be another year and half or not i will return. read more

Pie had a nice flavor. However, I searched to find any vegetables AT ALL, although the ingredients stated several varieties were in the pie. Chicken is shredded & of minimal amount. Not worth the $20 price paid at a little plant/vegetable/homemade fresh & frozen food shop, Buddy's, on Old Clemson Highway in Seneca. Owners are so friendly & proud of their shop - I expected Mrs. Pumpkins products to be delicious. VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

So I recently just started a gig as a stay at home house husband with 5 kids. And let me tell you what.... It way harder than I thought. So figured we'll let's be smart about this Brandon l, let's delegate all these harder tasks to other people. (Just for context my wife is loaded). I decided that I can go pick up a fresh home cooked meal before my wife gets home from work and claim it as mine. So that's exactly what I did and damn if it didn't backfire on me. My wife pulls down our 1.3 mile paved driveway and I prepared the table during the entire 3 minutes it takes for her to reach the house. She walks in as usually "honey Im home" and just as usually I have a feast of a dinner waiting on her. Except this time I didn't have to slave away all day making it. This is going perfect!!!... I had bought 2 of the Moravian chicken pies and some broccoli. You could almost see the steam coming off the top. "She's gonna think she's married to Gordon Ramsey" I was thinking to myself. That was until she took a bite. It was horrible. The chicken looks and tastes like it came from a tuna can and the pie looked like a soup. The crust tasted bland and possibly gluten free. None of the kids would eat it. Not even our French Bulldog Willy. I obviously couldn't claim this as mine or else I risk having to go back to the 9-5. So I admitted I bought it. She got enraged and needless to say I'll be in the dog house for quite some time. This place almost costed me my married. read more

This was possibly the worst example of a Moravian chicken pie I have seen. I purchased frozen and cooked to take to a friend with a meal. Once cooked, it was mostly gravy with very tiny, shredded pieces of chicken. I apologized to my friend. I also picked up some chocolate chip cookies for myself. Greasy aftertaste. read more

One of my favorite places to go for Moravian pies. I purchased a couple of groupons a while back and figure it would be an easy dinner as I'm starting to to get tired of cooking while sheltering in place. Got there Saturday morning and had fast, helpful, friendly service. It seems like they are staying busy especially on Friday/Saturday so getting their early is key to getting everything you might be craving. The family meal is our go to. The salad is very green and fresh and can last a couple of days in the fridge in the take and bake pie is delicious. I always make the pie, baguette, and salad and save the side dish for another night because the pie is more than enough for my family of three. For the first time I did purchase a quiche so I'm looking forward to trying that. Who can pass on a $12 quiche!!???! read more

The individual Moravian. chicken pies are outstanding! Wonderful for a quick weekday meal.

L-L-LOVE their Pecan Tarts! Probably went there 2-3 times a week during my lunch break! Plus most of the cake squares are $1 a piece and made fresh daily. Good flavors too like Pink Lemonade, Banana Pudding, Peach etc. The Lemon Lush squares are pretty good too. I kind of have a sweet tooth so I never got around to trying their actual lunch but I've heard good things from coworkers. read more

This is a go to for my wife and I. We really enjoy the chicken pies. I like the vegetable in mine and my wife prefers no veggies (Moravian). We more recently picked up an order of Mac and cheese and lasagna. Both were great. We'll be trying more for sure. read more

Update: 2nd meal- Chicken Noodle Soup. Another grotesque meal. Absolutely no flavor/seasoning, minced chicken and those horrible big sliced crinkled carrots from the grocer's freezer. Had to force the serving down it was so horrible, and the rest went in the trash! 3rd meal- Beef Stew looked like mushy Alpo Dog Food. Consisted of frozen crinkle carrots, frozen peas. potatoes and absolutely no meat (just mush)! I think again like they prepare the chicken, the meat was pureed in a food processor. I messaged the owner on the website about my complaint and was ignored so I had to call. He would not let me return over $140.00 spent on the inedible food but finally said he could give me a store credit of $50. Make it make sense when you can't eat the horrible food why would I want any more of it! Also, he only responded to THIS review AFTER I had to call him. There was absolutely no resolution reached. Just warning others please don't waste your money! With inflation prices I was looking for the best alternatives to feed my family. As a 1st time customer, I bought a lot of pre-made main dishes and vegetables. I cannot even describe how horrific the 1st meal I tried was. It was a family size chicken tetrazzini. The 1st bite was nothing short of grotesque. It consisted of watery spaghetti noodles, minced chicken on top of the noodles and a small hint of cheese on top that did not melt. It was not decadent and creamy-(no creamy sauce, bread crumbs or sherry) and absolutely ZERO seasoning. I had to literally add butter, cheese and salt to even stomach it and it was still disgusting! I am ashamed that I wasted so much money on meals if this is my 1st indication of what the rest of the food is going to taste like. I will update my review if anything else I bought was edible :( *** I wish I had read the 2022 reviews on here first before my purchase. I can see it was the same with other customers.*** read more

We ordered their chicken pot pie once and they were bland and not tasty. We feel that even the Costco chicken pot pies were way better and at a better price. Also our company had a catered event from them and the food was not hot at all. Room temperature was more like it. The prepared food tasted not fresh like it was prepared the day before or way earlier in the day before our event time. Many of us were afraid to eat the catered food due to us thinking we may get food poisoning. I sure hope our company decides not to go with this place again. read more

Great little place for a box lunch and desserts. We ordered the oatmeal cookie and chocolate chip cookies. All of them were great, very large and tasty. The cookie sandwich was good but too sweet for us. We viewed the chicken pies and other offerings while shopping. All items looked wonderful. read more

the food is delicious, and such a tasty, convenient option when there's no time or energy to cook! also the staff is so very friendly and accomodating! read more

I've tried just about everything and love most but was sorely disappointed when I took home an entree of Turkey Tetrazzini. It ended up in the trash. It had absolutely no seasoning and consisted of a layer of spaghetti noodles topped with a layer of shredded turkey and mozzarella cheese. With this review I hope you remove this from your menu or add some veggies and seasoning. The quiche, chicken pie, lasagna, chicken and tuna salad are delish! read more

Absolutely great comfort food. The chicken pot pie here is by far my favorite thing. The deserts I've tried are all delicious as well. A few things are admittedly hit or miss for straight flavor. Essentially, I feel a lot of the food is prepared fairly safe and less heavily seasoned that we are generally used to. That really plays well for things like the pot pie or macaroni and cheese that additional spices and flavoring only serves to dull the unique characteristic of the natural flavors. However when it comes to some of the other dishes I've had, it can seem very plain. That's no problem to me, as for dishes you take to bake at home, it's very easy to add a bit of additional seasoning to taste. Even in cases of the pot pie, if isn't enough for you, you can simply add some salt after baking if that's your preference. But the real message of the place seems to be "comfort food". Which doesn't go with heavily spiced. So it's not surprising to have the flavors a little more muted compared to typical restaurants. And especially compared to grocery store instant meals that rely on high seasoning to cover up the cheap, frozen quality. Maybe that sub not for everyone, even though you're free to add spice as you desire. But hopefully this gives you an idea of what you can expect in advance. read more

I go here a lot for the family I nanny for. They have different events and occasions that require sweet treats for their guests. Of course I get to sample first to make sure everything tastes good ;) The only thing I've ever tried were sweets, but everything looks so good I'm hoping to find a need to go back for myself soon. The chicken pie looks yummy and the place always smells amazing! read more

Two words, Simply Excellent. I used Mrs. Pumpkin catering service for a corporate breakfast event- when I say the service and meal was flawless..it was just that. The company is owned by a couple, who are THE nicest people I have ever met. They were efficient and the breakfast- complete with sugar cake and the best grits I've ever had, is still being talked about 3 days later! I strongly recommend this company- they hit it out of the park on my event! Thanks Mrs. Pumpkin, You rock! read more

I ordered a Key Lime Pie for my boyfriend's birthday. Not being from the area I pretty much selected blindly for a place in Winston-Salem that actually made Key-Lime Pie. We were not disappointed! I also ordered a few things out of the bakery case that were pretty good as well. I will definitely visit this place again if I am in need of some baked goods! read more

"The best cake we've ever had at a wedding!" This was a common statement from our delighted wedding guests. Julie was a dream to work with in creating our beautiful cake. It was moist, fluffy, and oh-so-pretty. The selection of flavors was a big hit. The presentation was classically elegant! Julie styled our cake with the silk flowers I purchased ahead of time and based the design from my inspiration photos. I would highly recommend Mrs. Pumpkins Bakery for your next celebration! read more

Mrs. Pumpkins - Our beautiful wedding cake from Mrs. Pumpkins Bakery! - Bakeries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It is my first visit here and I ordered the grilled chicken/sun dried tomato wrap. It was THE BEST wrap I has in quite some time. From where I was sitting I could see the back of the house and the floors were extremely clean. I saw some employees in the back and they were not using hair nets, but then again I do not know if they were the food handlers. The staff is very pleasant. I bought some chicken pot pie to bake at home, let's see how it tastes. So far it has been a pleasant experience. read more

My wife brought several pot pies home. She knows I love pot pies & she doesnt make them. The chicken pot pie is good certainly not great. The crust is the bright spot. However it was underwhelming flavor wise & a bit dry for my liking. I usually like a bit more gravy or whatever it is in pot pies. It could use a bit more seasoning also. Nevertheless a good pot pie foundation just needs some improving. read more

I love their chicken pot pies. I really like the Moravian style. It is yummy as a main course. I would have given them 4 stars for the pecan pie alone. However, some of their baked goods are just okay. Nothing to make them remarkable. They deliver and tend to provide good options for catered lunches for larger crowds. They are definitely a safe choice for corporate lunches. read more

We've had lunch catered from Mrs. Pumpkins before - great little lunch boxes that include a sammich or salad, dessert and a side. YUM. We also look out for groupon deals where you get a full meal - entree (usually baked spaghetti or chicken pie), salad, bread, sweet tea for really good deal. They also have similar deals without the coupon specials, just ask. Lots of other options for frozen entrees to take home and heat up. Not exactly a place you can go in and pick up lunch to eat right on the spot. Check out the cookies, bars, and cake squares as well! Husby loves their oatmeal whoopie pies. Staff is not overly friendly, but they are efficient. read more

We have been here a few times with a groupon for the family meals. Nothing special at all. The only thing worth coming back for is the chicken pie. We have had a few small bakery items that are as good as Dewey's. Enough said! I would probably not return just because it is nothing special :( read more

I got the take home meals. It was supposed to fead 4. There was a salad, tea, loaf of bread, I chose the chicken tetrazzini and scallopped potato. both dishes tasted the same. bland watery and flavorless. The chicken was seriously overdry before I even baked it for heating. it really had no flavor. the potatoes were the exact same. watery and flavorless. The bagged salad would not feed 4 and was FILLED with water, it was all limp and floppy. so I wouldnt get that again either. The baked goods are ok but I would not be trying the other items again. read more

I have been aware of Mrs. Pumpkins for quite a few years because of the Groupons, but because it's clear across town for me, I'd never eaten their wares. Earlier this week, Roy and I attended the Opening Ceremony for the local Senior Games which was held at Calvary Baptist Church and catered by Mrs. Pumpkins. Wow! What a delicious buffet! We thought everything was delicious - from the crispy baked chicken breasts, sliced pork roast, Mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, green beans, love feast-type dinner rolls to the cheese cake, chocolate layer cake and carrot cake. I'm pretty sure I tasted some of everything! They prepared this feast for about 300 people, but the food didn't appear or taste like institutional food at all. It looked good and tasted even better. read more

These are still hands- down the best Moravian Chicken Pies you can buy! I am planning a small gathering for lunch and called them about pre-cooking the pies so I could drop by on my way home from work. I was so disappointed to find out that Mrs. Pumpkins no longer takes orders to pre-cook food for pickup. The website is still advertising that they do, but when I called they said, "no." This is most unfortunate, because that was a unique service in the area! read more

I have to say that the cupcakes are divine especially on days when they make the chocolate marshmallow fluff ones, but I always feel unwelcome when I go inside the store as if I do not fit their usual clientele profile. I get the sense that I might be disturbing them and they are offended by the fact that I want to buy some of their baked goods. If the service wasn't so awful, I would go more often. read more

I was so excited. Thought we could have some options for dinner. Really nice but really ditzy staff. Inconsistent. Green bean casserole good the first time...flavored with yucky sweet spice (accident?) the second. Baked spaghetti was awful. Quiche super disappointing. Sugar cake was yummy though....Everything tastes bland to me but still holding out hope. Will try chicken pies next. read more

Had a catered meal at an event. My friends all really liked it but personally I had an Italian sub and I don't really like salami so I didn't really love it. also the side was fresh fruit and I don't like fruit. But it was definitely high quality food overall. The chocolate chip cookie on the other hand was Fire. So good! Will have to check out the real store soon! I want to get more dessert foods read more

We visit Winston Salem throughout the year, but especially at Birthday time for our grandsons. This visit was for a special "8" year old who is a Harry Potter enthusiast Special order for a special boy, they make the best cakes and are willing to "decorate" as requested . In our opinion can not be beat Will attempt to post picture. read more

I tried Blue Apron and Clean Eatz, they are ok but can't beat Mrs Pumpkin. I purchase the frozen meals. They are delicious and large enough that I can have lunch and dinner. Why not support local?? walk in and speak to the chef, let them know exactly what I want. read more

This review is strictly praising the service. I live out of state in Texas and I wanted to surprise a friend that lives near the bakery with a birthday cake. The staff was patient and helpful, answering all my questions and concerns and even went out of their way to send me a picture of the final product and it looked absolutely fantastic (especially considering my special requests). My friend was ecstatic and told me the cake was absolutely delicious. Top marks from Texas for Julie and the rest of the staff at Mrs. Pumpkins. Y'all are awesome. read more

I used Mrs. Pumpkin's bakery for my wedding cake. It was beautiful and delicious! Everyone at the wedding commented on how great it tasted. I was 100% satisfied. She gets 5 stars! I was going to use the catering division for my reception. I found Don McEwan extremely unprofessional and very difficult to work with. So much so that 4 weeks before my wedding I decided to go with a different caterer for my dinner. I have never dealt with someone in the service industry that was so rude. I was told that the catering is actually a separate company than the bakery. I do not even give them 1 star! read more

Was ok, nothing really to impressive. Had a groupon and thought id give the place a try. The pie was really the only decent food i liked but not a whole lot of flavor to it and the chicken was a little on the dry side. Staff was not very talkative and the place seemed dead. read more

I visited this bakery for the 2nd time today. Both times by two different employees, I was treated as if I was disturbing them. I wanted to order a cake for husbands bday & was quoted $25 the 1st time & $20 today & I had to provide the pic. When the clerk saw that the movie character pic logo depicted a gun she immediately said the man who would be making it could not do that part of it. I stated it was an important part of the pic and didn't understand why it couldnt be done. She said she would check with him and call me back. She called back to tell me it could be done, but now it would be $60! I personally believe this was an anti-gun, anti-2nd amendment of this retailer . Needless to say, I and my family & friends will be shopping elsewhere in the future. read more

I ordered a cake,Wizard of OZ to be exact, I showed the lady who would be making The cake in the store a picture of what I wanted, which had ruby red slippers on it at that time she stated I do not have the red shoes I will have to try to make them, I also emailed her the picture of the cake that day as she requested, after that day a couple emails were sent to each other confirming flavor of the cake ,icing, and pick up time. Never once was it mentioned that she was unable to do the ruby red slippers. Lo and behold pick up time and there's no ruby red slippers on top of the cake! as I question this to one of the sales associates ringing me up , she said there is nothing on the paper about red slippers, I explained that I spoke with the lady the day I ordered it and the conversation we had and also the picture that I emailed,she said "hold on let me go ask her"The associate returns not even the lady who made the cake who you would think would come and speak with a person she had miscommunication with, and the response was "she said she made it clear that there would be no shoes" um ok CLEARLY NOT... no apology and you would think she would come and clear things up herself, not to mention price was higher then advertised on website, considered leaving without cake but I am a KARMA believer... i just made my own ruby slippers and will be passing along this experience with others to prevent future crappy customer service recommending LILLY CAKES in King NC to anyone who prefers a prettier cake at a lower price made by nicer people read more

I love this place! I've bought 2 Groupons from here that were $14 for an entree, side item, salad, baguette and 1/2 gallon of tea...for 4 people!!! The food is down-home cooking at it's best. Even without a Groupon deal, I believe they have the same special for only $20. Their baked goods are great too...you must try the cream cheese brownies! They are to-die-for! I've come back a couple times even without the Groupon. It's a great way to feed 4 people a home cooked meal (on a budget, I might add) when you don't have time to cook. Haven't tried the cakes yet, but they look better than Dewey's :) read more
