Love this place so much!! It's owned by a local family who are always there running the shop whenever I stop by, and that really comes through in both the service and overall feel of the place. Both the sweet and savory pies are delicious, and I like that they rotate their menu with a mix of classic and more unique flavors. It makes it fun to keep coming back and trying something new. Some of my favorites over time have been the chocolate chess, cheeseburger, and berry custard pies. All very different, but all really good in their own way. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for pie!! There are honestly not a lot of places around that you can get crafted pies from, so I think they fill a niche market here - a market that I am certainly a part of. read more

Pie Dreams - Caramel Apple hand pie, blueberry lemon hand pie, key lime pie, chocolate creme pie, berry custard pie - Desserts Near Me - Newark, California

4.5 stars Small shop and no pies were on display when I was there. Just trust that you'll get a good tasting pie. I got their chicken bacon hand pie. It was nice and warm. Tastes like how a pot pie should be. It was great on the go since I was chowing it down while driving to my next destination. I got some slices for myself to try, French silk chocolate was good. Unfortunately, it was melting (my bad) when I finally got to eat it. Chocolate whole pie for others. Got other slices for friends to try and they enjoyed it. Pandan had a nice flavor, they don't use extract which is even better. Lemon chess was good - great lemon flavor and creamy. Will need to get French silk again to eat it as soon as possible or keep in fridge when ready to eat, haha. read more

I say this, and I don't say it lightly. This is one of the best pies I've had. My siblings are probably the most picky people ever when it comes to apple pies. I have gone around the country and have brought back pies for their ratings. I had the berry custard and French Swiss pies and I devoured them! And I don't typically go crazy for sweets! I had to, of course, bring one of the caramel apple pies back for my siblings, and HOLY heck!! The two of them DEMOLISHED it in 15 minutes. Was not anticipating that kind of response due their pickiness! 15/10 would go back! read more

Super delicious! This is my third purchase in one month, and I do not regret every calorie consumed. Thus far, my favorites are the banana black sesame, berry custard, and French silk! LOVE LOVE LOVE! read more

Go get their flavor of the month: banana black sesame It's delicious and not too sweet. I've been recommending this pie to everyone the last couple of years and they all love it! I'm already on my second 10" banana black sesame pie this month...and it's only the 7th. If black sesame is not for you, then their French Silk is also delicious! I also highly recommend their caramel apple pie...especially if you heat it up in the oven. The butter crust becomes even more amazing and the gooey apple filling is beyond words. Service is great! Ricky and his wife are friendly, always with a smile and easy going. Store is cute and very clean. read more

I've tried pies all over the place--especially in the islands, Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand--so I don't say this lightly: this spot absolutely nailed it and fully satisfied my pie craving. I stopped in and grabbed the chicken bacon pie. The owner mentioned there were only four left, so naturally... I took all four. They were served hot in a box, and wow. The pastry is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and creamy--like a chicken pot pie turned up to eleven. Total flavor bomb. You can tell the recipe has been perfected. They also offer a solid variety of sweet pies. I haven't tried those yet, but that's definitely happening soon. The shop is conveniently located right across from Safeway. The inside is clean, there's plenty of seating, and parking is easy. If you're a pie lover (or even just pie-curious), this place is a must-try. read more

It has taken me way too long to try this place! Pretty convenient located in Newark, not far from the freeway. It is in a big shopping center so there is ample parking. Smaller, simpler shop but there is some seating to eat your pie(s) there if desired. I came pretty late in the day (after 3pm) on a weekend and they were sold out of multiple flavors. However I pretty much tried one of everything they had left. I was very impressed with the flavor of the matcha, it was quite true and like a more firm custard in terms of texture (kinda like a pumpkin pie). The Earl Grey was beautiful to look at it and so so strongly tea flavored. I am a big fan but if you like your desserts sweet the EG may not be for you. The coffee chess was a bit of a sleeper for me. Not as impressive to look at but so robust and rich. Do recommend for grabbing a slice! read more

Finally had the opportunity to try Pie Dreams! Arrived around 11am on a Saturday and was able to walk in, choose from a few options and off I went. I already planned on getting a key lime but since I was already there decided on a couple of slices of a unique offering: banana black sesame. Purchased a whole Key lime pie - not too sweet, tart and balanced with a flaky, pastry crust. Usually for this pie I like a graham cracker crust but the pastry was light, flaky and almost seemed like a hybrid of a puff pastry. Banana Black Sesame - unique and picked up slices to share as mom likes anything with a black sesame paste. Bottom layer had caramelized banana set in a sweetened gelatin (vs pudding-like) and a black sesame whipped cream layer. Nutty, banana-y, with subtle sweetness. Family loved it. Service friendly and straightforward. Place is no nonsense, dim and set up for take out but there are a couple of tables if you can't wait to get home. Plenty of shared lot parking and located in the Safeway shopping center (along Jarvis side) Whole pie: $40, slices $8.50 Note: Pricing may vary on flavor read more

Its a nice little local shop with yummy sweet treats, but im a savory gal myself. So I enjoyed the chicken pot pie. They are sweet and the space is small, but cozy. It would be cool if they did larger pies too, but the pocket pies are scrumptious. Would definitely go again. They were very quick and prompt to get the pasteries. There was a little line when we got there, but it went quick. Parking is a little hard as it large, but shared by many businesses. read more

Bought their pecan pie and frozen pineapple coconut hand pie. The pineapple pie supposed to come with actual pineapple chunk filling with coconut cream. Haven't try yet as you need to bake it at home. As for their pecan pie, love the generous portion of pecans, not too sweet. Only thing I am not a fan of was the pie crust which was hard, thin and flaky and has a hint of savory smell to it (kind of reminded me of the KFC fried chicken coating smell). I prefer the typical crust that you can bite into and crunchy. Since this is a small family mom pop shop (& its hard to find as it co-shared that single storey building with 2 other food chain, I would have expected the owner to be more friendly and helpful in explaining some of their more "ethnicity influenced" pie... instead I received curt and not as friendly attitude from the man who looks like the owner and baker himself. I don't think I'll be back unless their pineapple coconut pie surprises me. read more

Pie Dreams is located in Newark. I was in line when Ricky opened his doors on Pi Day 2023. His pies were delicious, and his service was excellent. I didn't realize that I had not posted a review, so I'm rectifying that now. In more recent times, I went to pick up a pie for Mother's Day. Although there wasn't the long lines, the pies were selling out. Fortunately for me, I picked up one of the few remaining whole pies. I highly recommend Pie Dreams. Ricky has done a phenomenal job. read more

Love all the pies here. The blueberry hand pies are the best! They only open certain days of the week so check before going.

Thanks to my Yelp buds for referring this place :) Flavors are hard to recommend since every one has a different palate, tastes buds and preferences. For example, two loved the key lime and one loved the strawberry matcha. However, texture-wise strawberry matcha is much more solid whereas key lime is more liquidity. Crust is a tad solidly hard (very thin on the bottom, very thin around, and very thick on top... in the perfect world, I'd appreciate thicker all around and a smaller thinner upper fold) but definitely flaky. I love how they include "real ingredients" on top such as pieces of the lime peel which brings everything together. Such simple and standardized decor across their pies but ties it so nicely. Someone asked how much one whole pie is, I said "$40" and they instantly screamed in horror while comparing how it's half price at an old well known chain. I'd much rather support a local business. Service is lovely. Very cool meeting the founder (and equally very cool seeing him in person... as they continue marching on forward). No indoor seating. Very intimate. Chalkboard states what they have. They often sell out early in the day so GO THERE EARLY! Whole pies, pie slices, and hand pies. Forks aren't directly handed to you but instead placed in a box located on top of the display case. Love how they don't stray in other directions. They do sell their crusts in the freezer (as you walk out, it's on your right). Located in a largely spaced plaza; therefore private parking lot at your disposal. I'm excited to try their other flavors! Definitely dreaming of pies now... read more

Had their key lime pie and it was tasty. Loved the flaky crust and the lime was a tad too tart for me. But overall it was creamy and yummy. read more

Cute little family owned shop with delicious pies!! You can buy them by the slice or the whole pie, which is more cost effective but damn that's a lot of pie hahah. They have rotating flavors too, so it's fun to check in and see what they offer on Instagram. One of the kids rung me up, so that was cute. I loved all the pies I've tried, but if I had to rank them, strawberry mango is number 1, then matcha, earl grey, and key lime. Parking isn't hard to find in their lot either! So if I'm around Newark again, I'm definitely getting some more hehe read more

I love the pie slices made by them! They are so tasty and full of flavor! Pandan and Guava have very forward and bursting flavors! I love how the guava geleé has a coconut custard to act as a palate cleanser and it's tasty on its own to contrast the forward guava taste. Earlier I tried the strawberry matcha pie and it was tasty but the flavor was more modest and mute. Service was friendly and attentive! Ambiance - very homey and warm from the greetings. It's a take out place so that's all I can say. One of my go-to dessert places that's near my work :) read more

With Pie Season (holidays) quickly approaching, I thought I'd leave an updated review since I've heard first hand from a lot of friends/family in the area that they still haven't given Pie Dreams a try yet. Why? Some people think/expect them to be open 7 days a week, but realistically, if you're only selling pies, thats not realistic from a business sense. So here's their current store hours (*as of Oct 2025): Thurs: 12p-5p Fri: 12p-5p Sat: 12p-5p Sun: 10a-3p Since this a family run business, check their instagram or website for updates. They could be closed because they're attending an event. You'll also want to check about pre-ordering your pie/s for the holidays as that's their busiest season (line gets wrapped around the building). Pies are priced fairly to what it should be; everything is freshly made with love and passion, the handmade butter crust and the flavors will speak for themselves. The menu changes with seasons and there will be times where a special flavor is offered (ie. Pandan, Banana Black Sesame, Strawberry Matcha Boba, etc) so get it while they offer it cause once its gone, you'll have to wait till next year. Ricky - piesmith/owner is incredibly passionate about his business, trying new things, and would love to have a conversation with everyone, when time permits. Have questions, just ask him. Some of my family's favorite flavors - Key Lime, Chocolate French Silk, Pandan, Banana Black Sesame, Lobster!!!! Go and support your locals! read more

I order every Thanksgiving and Christmas for whole pies and even stop for a slice whenever I am in the mood.

What a find! Pie Dreams has delicious pies with seasonal flavors and buttery flaky crusts. This small , cute and clean shop in Newark is easy to find with plenty of parking. There's a few tables inside but I opted to get a variety of slices to try at home. I chatted with the led er and he was so friendly and I can tell he loves what he does. My favorites were the Key Lime and the Apricot Frangipane. The texture of the key lime was silky and smooth with the perfect amount of tartness. The apricot and almond frangipane was unique and so good. I can't wait to go back and try new flavors! read more

First, The people who were working today 4/11 , were so nice! Second, the pies were absolutely delicious. If you haven't been there, GO!! Lemon, Berry and French silk were all so so good read more

Sometimes, I think pie is better than cake. Hits different. I love pie all year round, not just at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I was excited to see Pie Dreams in my feed to cater to us pie lovers. I stopped by to try the key lime. One slice is $7. It has weight to it and I'm sure one slice can feed 2 people. Not bad, honestly. Some people may see this as way too expensive. But I don't. Pie is difficult to make and there's not many places that serve JUST PIE all year round. Anyway, back to the slice. The filling was okay. It tasted like key lime yogurt. Kind of sweet but mostly tart. But the crust? Holy moly. It is so hard (in my opinion) to get pie crust just right. Pie Dreams crusty is thick, buttery, and not RAW. They know what they're doing and do the crust the right way. I worked in food service for 10+ years and I've had every kind of pie crust. Raw, over baked, under baked, oily, flavorless, hard as a rock, etc. Their crust not only maintains shape, but it holds the filling very well and doesn't crumble easily. Why am I so passionate about the crust, you say? Because it's part of the pie experience. If the crust sucks the entire pie sucks and belongs in the trash. I wasn't a huge fan of the key lime flavor but I am willing to try it again and pick a different flavor. Thank you Pie Dreams, for getting your crust right! read more

I don't usually go out for pies but I wanted to bring a sweet treat for a friend's birthday. Most cakes nowadays taste all the same and aren't as fresh / moist, so I decided to get a pie instead this time and it did not disappoint. I got their seasonal strawberry mango and French silk pies, and WOW they were so good! Not too sweet, the crust was delicious! I didn't know what to order so they were able to give me recommendations. I would definitely come back and get a full pie next time. read more

I have a sweet tooth. Cakes, desserts, and chocolate make me happy. Is cheesecake considered a cake or a pie? Well. On Father's Day, I did something different. I bought pie. Lots of pies. And they were Deelicious! Blueberry Lavender Caramel Apple Coffee Chess French Silk Orange Dream Strawberry Mango Slices of Heaven. Crust was buttery & flaky. Fillings were light, creamy & delightful. Every bite tastes like home. You can tell each pie was made with love. Enjoyed 'em all but if I get stranded on an island, I would survive on a whole pie of "Orange Dream". read more

Love supporting a small family business! The spot is tiny, mostly to pick up and go. They sell whole pies, pies by slice, and even take home to bake yourself pies. I've had the banana with black sesame, the apricot (?) with frangipane, caramel apple, and the orange dreamsicle. They are all delicious, but the orange dreamsicle was extremely sweet. You can tell the pies are made with love. The people that work the register are always friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. The flavors are seasonal, so you might not be able to go back and have the flavor you like once the season changes. So if you find a favorite flavor, go often! read more

I've never considered myself a pie person. When presented with other dessert options, pies were always a last resort. Well, that is until I tried Pie Dreams. Pie Dreams takes your average pie to the next level. I've realized the reason why I never liked pies was that I've just never had a good one! I've tried grocery store, big box retailer, and even some bakeries ... they were all simply inferior. And I realized why - none of these places specialized in pies!! Enter Pie Dreams. So aptly named. It's the pie of your dreams and in your dreams. I had doubts when I first saw their pies, what a thick and bulky crust! And I was soo wrong. That crust (when brought closer to room temperature) is just the flakiest, crispiest, lightest, and butteriest. As for flavors: - Black sesame banana - this sounds crazy, and it sounds like it would never ever work. OH, but it DOES. This was the first pie I had from here, and it changed everything. I also hatee bananas in my desserts, but this was simply heavenly. Delicate, not too sweet, and a perfect marriage of flavors. - French silk - I mean... just imagine eating the silkiest and creamiest chocolate and pair that with an incredible crust. This was a bit sweet for me, but still delicious. - Matcha strawberry - the pairing of flavors here, again, are 10/10! The matcha filling was quite thick, almost like a cheesecake consistency? It did help keep the slices of pie intact. The thin layer of strawberry jam brought a juicy tang. Overall, the ideal - sweet, but not *too* sweet. - Pumpkin - a classic flavor, with an extra spicy twist (not like hot spicy, but the fall spices were extra prominent in a way that I enjoyed) read more

Came here for pie day. Ricky seems passionate about his craft and a good dude from our chat and how he interacts. Had the french silk (chocolate) in store and apple and lemon for takeaway for family. My opinion is that the lemon is best amongst the three Because it's a buttery flaky pie crust, I personally liked eating it by hand over fork. The pies are excellent but because they are handcrafted and quality they are not cheap like a mass produced at Safeway aisle. (~8/40 per slice/whole) It's up to you if it's worth the price but I think Pie Dreams is worth your business for pie. read more

I found out about Pie Dreams via a friend on Instagram. I knew we had to pick up a whole pie for Mother's Day a day prior! There's plenty of parking outside and upon arrival, I noticed the wall of swag you can purchase. The owner, wife and their children were around. They're very kind and she asked if we had any questions. The flavors we picked up: - key lime pie (sliced) - black sesame banana (whole) The key lime pie was a bit more sour for our taste. The black sesame banana was a hit, though! The white custard cream layer was a bit sweet according to one of our cousins, but overall we loved the pie and its unique flaky crust. I don't typically like whip cream but I think theirs is made from scratch and it's very light. I enjoyed how the slice of dessert pie did not leave me feeling heavy and bloated, even after a feasty dinner. I hope they make a full on black sesame pie in the future~ read more

Got a full sized french silk, as well as slices of their coffee chess, matcha, caramel apple, and early gray pies. Every slice was delicious and all worked very well.

First of all - DELICIOUS!!!!! So hard to choose because they all sounded delicious, but we ended up with Lemon Chess, Carrot Cake (pie), and a Blueberry Lemon hand pie. Best hand pie we've had in our lives! Lemon chess is everything you want a lemon anything to be. Carrot cake pie is not overly sweet but so delicious - if you like carrot cake, you will like this! Crust is killer too. Plus, the whole family was in there and they're so sweet. Love to support small and family businesses but even more so when they're awesome! read more

Sweet dreams are really made of pies and this place does not disappoint! Honestly, that crust is legit to die for. Flakey, buttery, and flavorful. I NEED THAT RECIPE! This spot recently opened up by my house and I had to try it out. I ended up getting the Apple Pie because my husband LOVES this flavor so we had to compare to some other spots and I was also intrigued by the Banana Black Sesame. Both were incredible! Full of interesting flavors and textures, and oh ya... did I mention the CRUST?! Sorry I still have that crust on my brain. I ordered a slice of each, but I think next time I will order a full pie. I recommend ordering beforehand because I always see a line in front of this place. Maybe it was because of the holidays, but you don't want to miss out on these! read more

Been in twice within this past year and call me impressed. I would actually get this more but they're only open on the weekends for just a handful of hours each day, so a bit tough for me to remember that they are there. Super small store, basically just a pick up table. They are a craftsman type of pie making and each week they will only make about 5-6 types of pies. I think their website will tell you which pies will be available that week. But in both times I've gone, I just randomly picked a couple, even ones that aren't in my wheelhouse, and they have always been surprisingly great. There is true craftsmanship in these pies which makes them levels above any commercial version. You can get pies whole or by the slice. Slices are about $7-$8 per and whole pies are definitely a tad over $40. So not cheap, but again this is not your typical mass produced bakery stuff like from Marie Calender's or Costco, this is on another level. They also have savory pies as well, which may be on my horizon. Generalities: Their crust is deliciously buttery. Totally reminds me of french pastries but this is a true American pie crust, rustic and dense. They will hand you pies that are straight from the fridge, so it is cold. I found out that their crust should be served more room temp as when cold, due to the butter, is crazy hard and not ideal. Much better at a warmer temp as the crust softens a bit and the butter is more meltingly. Whatever filling you choose will be almost perfect in texture and in flavor balance. I've never had pies this well thought out as pies are usually done by grandmas and family cooks, not so much chefs. Here a chef's touch is in play, even though I don't know their history. Apple Caramel: Not your goopy canned apples. Fresh sliced apples hold their texture beautifully and not overly sweet nor spiced. Drizzled with a caramel sauce that clings and topped with a slightly crunchy streusel topping. I've never seen an apple pie slice this clean, like it totally holds its shape. Amazement. Berry Custard: What was in my head totally was not what I got... in a good way. The berries mostly blackberry or oliaberry cuz of the color were kinda pureed and held together by a bindner so it doesn't ooze out, the slice actually holds its sliced shape. Then a thin custard layer goes on top to give it a creamy contrast which was money. And the berry filling wasn't super tart nor sweet, perfectly balanced. Again blown away. Pecan Pie: I love Pecan Pies but most are too sweet for me. Even though this was gooey from molasses and other sweetners, the balance of nuts to sweet were spot on. Key LIme Pie: I'm sure most people have not had a legit key lime pie. Key Limes are the key and they are those small round limes that are grown in tropical climates. They are a total different flavor than regular limes, it is more floral with a sweeter/tart balance. This tasted like real key limes to me. And again the balance of sweet to tart was perfect. Now the pies here are rich, like I can eat a slice in 2 servings. Can't say that the masses can appreciate the difference here, but I sure can. Great local score that I need to remember when they are available. read more

In my honest opinion, the best dessert ever invented was pie. Controversial opinion, I know, but I stand by it! Anyway, Pie Dreams had some GREAT pie flavors. I got slices of the strawberry mango and apricot frangipane, and LOVED them, especially the frangipane. I'm biased because I love the flavor of almond in desserts, but it was really good even if it was on the sweeter side. The pie was a bit chilled, but I didn't mind that when it was a hot sunny day. This is such a cute little pie shop, and I'd definitely be down to try the key lime pie another time (especially since it's decorated so cutely). The person who I presume owns this place was very friendly and seemed enthusiastic about it all. Very sweet! read more

Pie Dreams - Strawberry mango and apricot frangipane - Desserts Near Me - Newark, California

This is a cute little pie shop, clean and simple setting, with a bit of indoor seating (though I took it to go to picnic in the park), and lots of parking in the plaza lot. Service was sufficient with a young kid assisting customers at the front, and hardly a wait for my order to be packaged and ready. I tried the chicken bacon 5 inch hand pie, and a slice of the sausage quiche, more than enough for a filling meal. I'm so glad I opted to try both, cuz they got me hooked. That was probably the best quiche I ever had (especially as a breakfast lover), the ground sausage was so tasty. The combination of flavors and ingredients in BOTH blew me away, the consistency moist but not watery, and the crusts so buttery and flaky. That irresistible all butter crust has got me craving more, it's what dreams are made of... maybe that's the reason for their name. They don't have a lot of variety for savory pies here on any given day, but I still got nothing but love for Pie Dreams! read more

The pies both sweet and savory are so very good and the pie crusts are the best- very light and perfectly compliment all of Ricky's pies. Holiday season is always very busy so it's important to preorder as so as the option is available online. These pies are always a big hit when offered to our guests! The store is somewhat hidden but definitely worth visiting! read more

My husband mistakenly had our car software update download when we parked to grab lunch at Mr. Pickles. So we decided to eat in the car while waited. We saw a line building up in front of the former Starbread bakery. Upon checking on Google and Yelp, it looked like this craft, locally owned pie shop was worth checking out. The line never got to be more than several people long since it moved quickly. Once inside, the vibe is a very cool, modern, chill place to enjoy pie. The minimalism inside is nice and not overwhelming. Which is perfect because the focus is the amazing pies themselves. I'm no dessert chef or food critic, but the flavor profiles on these pies are amazing. I would say that if you're the type of person who wants a very noticeable crust throughout most of the pie, this isn't the place to get that. The amount of filling to crust is staggering - and not in a bad way. It comes down to pros al preference. Sometimes, I want more crust that almost has an al dente dough-y ish tooth to it. If I wanted that, I wouldn't come here. If it was a nice, sunny day, and I wanted pies that packed tons of flavor and had a light and crisp crust, I would come here. Now for the individual reviews Carrot custard - I love my carrot cake loaded with chunks of carrot, golden raisin, walnut, the works. So biting into this was pretty fantastic. It's very loaded and did not disappoint. The cream cheese whip on top gives it that extra oomph of richness. Key lime - I never liked key lime until very recently. My brother loves key lime pie, so I ordered that famous one from Florida. It was great. This one did just as well in capturing the punchy and refreshing flavor of fresh lime. The tartness wasn't aggressive and was just enough to go with the house whip on top. This was probably my favorite of the three that we got today. French silk caramel - I love chocolate cream pie. I didn't know that I would love French silk chocolate pie but I should've expected as much. The salted caramel base takes it to another level. I always opt for banana over chocolate pie so I haven't tried too many chocolate ones in my lifetime. But I do know that this one is so smooth and rich, yet just right. TLDR; there's way more filling to crust ratio. The crust is thin and buttery if that's your cup of tea or you don't mind. The fillings are where it's at. The flavors sing! I'll probably be back to get whole pies to bring as dessert for any parties/gatherings. I can only eat so many cake flavors from all of the local Asian bakeries lol Don't forget to enter/the line starts on the Dino's side and the exit is the main street side. Happy pie eating! Oh- I do want to go back for the hooded sweatshirt. I love cute merch from local businesses (because I am not brave enough to ever start my own; I'll cheer others on from the sidelines)! The last nice touch was that the kids were in charge of the register today (Easter Sunday)! They both did a great job and the owners should be proud. Professional and friendly service is such a plus. Especially from the next generation who's already in training and doing a beautiful job. read more

Do you dream of pie? No? Just me? Well no bother, come to Pie Dreams and you may just start dreaming of pies or perhaps that first bite will start your dreamy state. Extremely popular among the locals as well as patrons introduced to it through social media, you'll always see a line before they even open. What helps Pie Dreams stand out is definitely their innovative, unique pie flavors and signature pie crust. They specialize in custard like pies but also have hand pies for sale which are great on the go. For pies, you can get them by the slice if you're just looking for a tasting or if there's a flavor you've set your tastebuds on, very the whole pie. I would recommend getting a slice first if you're unsure however. The flavors rotate quite frequently so keep up with their social media accounts to stay abreast on the flavors of the week. My personal favorite thus far has been their strawberry matcha - yes, we got the whole pie and enjoyed every last bit of leftover pie. Certain flavors may be a bit bold and adventurous for some folks but they'll open your bellies to new possibilities! We tried a few other flavors including eggnog, pumpkin, apple streusel and a flavor referencing Santa. We also got a couple hand pies to try. The unique flavors were...unique. We weren't instant fans of the eggnog one but I personally grew to enjoy it with each bite. The price is a bit higher than normal for pies but the quality and experience make it worthwhile. Additionally, the shop may seasonally close so plan ahead and order early. Overall, if you're looking for desserts to cap off a dinner or for a celebration and not trying to go traditional with a cake, come to Pie Dreams where traditional is thrown out the window with their out of the box flavors. Dream of all the possibilities - Pie Dreams probably has them! read more

Long overdue review for Pie Dreams. Ricky, the pie master, is truly an artist. The crust is unlike anything I have ever experienced and the fillings show unwavering devotion to technique and quality of ingredients. My favorite has been strawberry matcha tart. It never made it home. After a single nibble, I was possessed to eat the entire pie slice with my bare hands as my car inched on the Dumbarton. Traffic never tasted so good. Now, when I visit Pie Dreams, I stash the goods in the trunk. read more
