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

Pie Dreams - Desserts Near Me - Newark, California

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

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

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

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. My favorite was the coffee chess with a little salt on top (which they give to you in a separate container for serving right before), with the matcha in close second and the french silk being a crowd favorite. read more

I finally had the chance to try PIE DREAMS and my GAHT... We rank it : #1 blueberry lemon hand pie : the sugar toppings add a splendid crisp BITE and you will find whole blueberries for the filling inside and it's super flavorful and the crust reminds me of a fancy cousin of the elephant ear pastry. Delicious would go back for their hand pies #2 coffee custard they provide a small packet of salt for you to sprinkle on top so adorable and the custard is so creamy and cold and pleasant! My bf said it reminded him of viet coffee while it made me think of the golden Korean instant coffee from Maxim HAHA I feel like there's enough caffeine to keep you going in this one slice of pie #3 key lime pie: lovely presentation but the custard was too sweet for our liking but eating each bite with the cream dollops on top balanced the flavors out a bit ANYWAYS DEF GOING BACKKKKKK read more

Decided to pick up some pies last minute for Thanksgiving. Their pre orders was already closed for pick up but we're still open to walk ins as first come first serve. Came Wednesday morning like 59 mins before they opened. I was second in line ans the line grew as time went by. The owner was joking with us, he was very welcoming. They even put out coffee from Peets in case anyone waiting in line wanted something to drink. Got the French Silk chocolate and key lime pies. Both looked and tasted great and everyone enjoyed them. 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

Pie Dreams opened where Starbread Bakery once was. limited hours 3 days a week (Fri.-Sun). no thrills operation with no decor. limited pies on hand. offerings: hand pies, whole pies, slices of sweet & savory versions. best to pre-order to get ur fill of deliz pie or try ur luck by popping in. limited seating inside. lots of parking in lot, beware of cars zipping by. was quickly served but couldn't decide immediately. choose key lime as it's my fave kind of pie. eats: key lime pie slice (7) -pie crust made with butter & flour, not the usual graham crackers... -"whipped" cream definitely house made, creamy but lacking artificial flavorings and additives. delicately decadent.. -key lime had a nice tartness. sad and glad I didn't buy an whole pie, wouldn't have stopped till I ate it all! 4.5 stars should be 5. since I eat dessert literally a couple times a year, giving 5 stars wouldn't mean a lot. Pies are worthy! save ur 2 cents, er $5 for a taste of their handpies *no idea how I would rate the other pies since key lime is my fav. **everything crumb tasted house made. nothing tasted as if it came from a can, a bottle, or a tub..... crumbs: -offerings are posted on website for pre-ordering. menu changes monthly? or due to seasonal changes/availability. read more

We talked BBQ also I will be back for sure when they have their peach pies next year. Yummy! read more

I really enjoy Pie Dreams, I haven't tried many of the pies because I'm usually late to order and the pies get sold out pretty fast. But the pies that I have had are absolutely delicious. Pie Dreams is a local family owned business and the owner is very friendly and passionate about his pies. I actually found out about this place while looking for bakeries in the area. Once I followed on IG, took a look at the website and read some reviews I knew I had to try this place. Little did I know the pies are in high demand and as soon as ordering opens up you really need to be quick. I have tried the Salted Caramel Hand Pies which I found to be quite yummy, the crust was nice and flakey and topped with sugar. The apple filling on the inside was perfect and had the right amount and sweet and salty while the apples were very tender. I also really like the Cheeseburger Pie! This pie you have to bake at home and I love that. The crust comes out so crispy, flakey and buttery and it's topped with sesame seeds just like a hamburger bun. The filling is so flavorful as you have your perfectly cooked and seasoned burger patty, onions, cheese, I think I tasted mustard but I'm not sure. It's definitely one of my favorites that I've ordered multiple times. Another item that is delicious and unique that I love are the "Crust Chips". They almost look like little biscuits but their very soft. The flavors that I've had are garlic cheddar and the brown sugar. They are so yummy and when warmed up they are even better, so addictive and you might find yourself eating the whole bag in one sitting. Overall I really enjoy Pie Dreams and can't wait for the brick and mortar to finally open up. If you're looking for delicious pies in the Fremont/Newark area please give them a try and support this local business! read more

I do not lie when I say these pies will change your life! For the Pi Day pop up, I stood in line for two hours (worth it!) and ordered one of everything. The brick and mortar location is opening tomorrow in Newark, and I already have my caramel bunny and carrot custard pies ($42 each) ordered for Easter (like two minutes after they became available for pre-order). I'm thrilled to have pies of such caliber in the neighborhood. Usually I drive to Gregory's Gourmet Desserts in Oakland to indulge, but now I'll be here regularly. Once you taste these creations, you will be too. read more

Opened for Pi Day! Pie Dreams has been cranking out amazing pies from a satellite kitchen and gained a popular following. With a "soft opening" to celebrate Pi Day, the store is ready with pre-order pickups and ready made hand pies, savory and sweet as well. Picked up the French Silk, chocolate cream pie, Salted Caramel Apple Pie, and a savory Lobster pie and Chicken Bacon. Can't wait to dig in! You can tell Ricky puts his heart and soul into his pies and his pie dream of opening a storefront has been realized! Support local and grab some pies! The store will get up to speed and I'm sure a regular schedule will be available soon for preorders and walk ins. As expected and anticipated, today was met with a long line because so many loyal customers came to support. And as it was the first day of operations, some grace was needed as Ricky and team tried to work through the line as expeditiously as possible. I'm sure it will be very streamlined in no time! read more

This was my second visit to try out new flavors of this pie shop. I first found out about this shop through Instagram and decided to come back when I saw they had key lime pie and strawberry mango pie! They ran out of the peach hand pie that I also wanted to try, unfortunately, but hopefully they'll have it again next time. The key lime pie was just the right amount of tart and was finished so quickly. I never had a strawberry mango pie before and was pleasantly surprised. I knew the flavor combination should be good and was happy that it worked in the pie. They seem to have rotating flavors that they announce on their Instagram, making it easy to know what they're serving. It's a small but cute shop and I can't wait to go back. Definitely go earlier so they don't sell out of what you want! read more

I waited in line for this special pop-up for Pi Day. This business was recommended by Yelp Bay Area, so I thought I would support. The place doesn't open up until April, and taking the past space of the popular Starbread, these pies were a crowd pleaser. It's a family owned business and they were so popular they ran out of slices and larger pies so many loyal customers waited in line with me probably for almost an hour. I had the blueberry lemon and cherry handmade pies. On first glance I thought they looked like round and golden brown empanadas. Both flavors were delicious. The blueberry lemon was a really unique taste, with fresh blueberries that had a coat of lemon zing. These are great when they are warm and outside crust has a nice shell of sugar coating. These are best eaten warm with some nice tea. I overheard the owner also say these aren't really great frozen to another customer. To me these are best eaten while fresh. Can't wait til their store opens to try some other yummy desserts! read more

Really excited that we have a new, tasty pie place to try out! This is a family run business and I can tell that they put a lot of pride and effort into their work. My husband and I came for Easter and got a slice of their Berry Streusel and French silk (chocolate) pies. They were both probably the best pies we've had in a long time! There was a decent line starting to form before opening, but they were quick about getting everyone through, including preorders. Definitely check out this place if you want some tasty pie! read more

We regularly come here for our pie fix. To be honest, before Pie Dreams I wasn't the biggest pie person. But the butter pie crust here is sooo good. I also love that that rotate flavors pretty regularly which is a good reason to come back and try something new. We've probably tried almost all the flavors already. Our favorites are the hand pies - anything with apple honestly. Recently they've got the blackberry apple which is a delicious combo of tart and sweet flavors. I've also gotten their savory pies and more recently got the Mama Lo's Mechado to bake-at-home. I will say the price was a bit steep, but I enjoy supporting local businesses and their flavors are good. In the future I'd probably just stick with their usual sweet pies though. My favorite regular pie is probably the French silk pie or caramel apple pie. The owner's kids are often handling the register and they're friendly. There are some tables indoors so you can enjoy your pie immediately if you'd like. It'd be nice if they offered in house drinks in the future, I think it'd up the ambiance a bit more. Will continue to support either way! read more

Every time I go to my favorite restaurant, Dinos in Newark, I see this, but it's never open when I am near there. I decided to go grocery shopping and they were open so I went in and did some pie shopping! Oh, my God, the only picture I did not post was of that cheeseburger hand pie.... It was out of this world delicious!!! Every hand pie and slice of Pie we got was absolutely 5 stars. Honestly, it was the best pies I have ever had! read more

Pie Dreams has had a solid following before they opened their brick and mortar store. If you've never ordered a pie dreams pie before check their IG or website so you won't end up disappointed coming in on a day they aren't open or after they sell out! They do a great job of keeping their IG stories up to date with what they're sold out of/what's available on any given day. They sell an assortment of hand pies, sliced pies, and whole pies (in varying sizes). While I enjoy all their pies the crust is really outstanding in their sliced pie/whole pie variations. The hand pie crust seems to differ a little and is a bit lighter for ideal buttery goodness get the regular pies! As far as savory pies go my favorites have been the cheeseburger pie and the lobster pie! Do not skip out on these if they are available. For sweet I really enjoy any of their berry flavors! Service is great it's the actual owner working there he clearly is very invested in his pies and values his customers feedback! 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

This is my third time coming here only because the first two times they were sold out and I was pretty bummed but the owner greeted and gave us some free alpaca coffee just for coming out which was really nice of him to do. I'm so happy that I came out again because I've been wanting to try their pies. I've seen nothing but great reviews on this place. Today, we got the caramel apple hand pie, pumpkin, french silk, and peaches peaches and wow! All pies were amazing and they're not overly sweet. Definitely coming back for sure. read more

TLDR: Excellent Flaky Pie Crust! Helps the community This is a very very small place, probably because it's not a full-time bakery. According to my wife, the owner only bakes a limited number of pies over the course of the weekend. And once they sell out for that day, it's gone! The menu is seasonal, so it changes about once a month. There doesn't seem to be any staples, but we haven't been monitoring the place for a long time. So when we got there, around 1:30, there was already quite a long line. I'm not sure if it's because it's a popular place or because a girl's soccer team was visiting, accompanied by all the parents. Regardless, we waited a good 20-30 minutes and by the time we got up to the counter, 3 of the pies were sold out. For this month (October), we ordered the Hennessy Pecan Pie and a Peaches Pie. The peaches were soaked in cinnamon sugar, and I (who am a super-taster of sour things) couldn't taste any sourness at all. Which is the primary reason I don't like fruit pies. And yet it wasn't syrupy sweet either. As mentioned, everything is home-made, and they don't add any artificial sweeteners. The crust is the star... and really it should be the star of EVERY pie. Even though I'm sure the pie has been sitting for the entire day, the bottom was still very flaky and thin. I enjoyed that the most. The outer crust was buttery as well, but because it's thicker, it was more hard to chew. I think I like this pie even more than the ones in Hawaii, and I LOVED the Hawaiian pies! Pecan pies are normally super-super sweet, especially those supermarket ones. Not this one. It's again, slightly sweet, but not cloyingly so. Pecans were fresh, and had a chew. The crust was again, beautifully flaky and buttery. If a cookie nowadays cost $4, then this pie at $7 is definitely reasonable. I think what puts this place over the top, 5 star territory is their commitment to the community. The day we were visited, they had a fundraiser for the Hawaii Fires. They seem to support local sports teams as well. Good for them! read more

I've never met a pie (@ Pie Dreams) I didn't like. I am so happy to have finally tried Pie Dreams today. I was very impressed with all the pies. Both the cherry and the pineapple/coconut hand pies were amazing. Crust was perfectly baked and just the right amount of sugar on top. The filling was perfect too. Perfect balance of sweetness with big chunks of fresh fruit! The chicken bacon pie was excellent also. The filling was once again, perfect. The crust had the best texture of flakiness and crispness. I ate that one so quickly that I didn't get a picture of it. The bakery shop is cozy and even has some seating to enjoy the fresh pies on site! The PieSmith, Ricky, is so welcoming, knowledgeable and genuine. You can usually find the whole family working there helping out this thriving business. Go there and you will not be disappointed. read more

Every time I bring these pies to a gathering they are a hit! I don't think there has ever been a slice left over. The crust is amazing, it has a fantastic layered texture and soft crunch but also has enough structure that you can pick up a whole slice without it falling apart. I personally really love that they do both traditional pies and rotating seasonal pies, since some parts of my family like traditional flavors but the other half loves the variety. It's also really great to just be able to walk in and grab a few slices on the weekend, too! I think every time there is a holiday there is a long line, but since they do preorders it hasn't really been an issue for me. Genuinely, I haven't had a single bad slice from here! read more

We loved that the coffee pie resembled a Vietnamese coffee taste, love that it was paired with some flaky salt on the side. The strawberry mango wasn't too sweet, just how I like my pastries!

Pie Dreams - key lime pie slice - Desserts Near Me - Newark, California

HANDS DOWN, BEST PIES EVER! I used to think I was not a big fan of pies because I've really only had pies from Nations or Costco and the crust are lame. Pie Dreams has the most amazing butter crust, it honestly doesn't even matter what the filling is as his crust is that good (no wonder he sells crust chips). I've been fortunate enough that my friends usually are the ones that were able to snipe an order off ig and would share slices it whole pies with me. It has been a long time coming and I'm so glad his brick and mortar storefront finally opened and I'm able to go get pies myself. We stopped by today and grabbed a slice of the strawberry mango and coffee chess. They're both friggin delicious! The strawberry mango was juicy and refreshing, while the coffee chess had an amazingly smooth and strong coffee flavor. His young son was working the register while he supervised and his son is an impeccable salesman. He said he wanted his son to develop his communication skills and learn how to talk to others that aren't just his peers. Can't wait to go back for more pies! read more
