We were in the area doing other items when this place caught our eye. The front does not do the inside justice. Really cool safe in the background looks like it used to be a bank and it's instantly heaven when you smell all the backing aromas inside. They had a wide selection of cookies, muffins, pies, and cake cakes. They also serve coffee. It's a perfect spot if you want to eat, have a snack, hang out with the family and kids or your four-legged children outside. I have to admit we were overwhelmed and didn't know what to get so we started off with a chocolate chip cookie and an Oreo cheesecake. We will definitely come back to try the buckeye pie, which looked amazing. The prices were reasonable, and the servers were absolutely excellent. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Boy was I disappointed! I'd heard great things about this bakery. It's the Saturday before Mother's Day and I suppose empty shelves should have been expected. My daughter and I and her youngest son stopped here together. Perhaps we should have placed an order ahead of time. But at those elevated prices for a whole pie: approximately 28.00 bucks and just a standard pie size at that, I'd think they would have a few on hand! Because of their spectacular reputation for cakes, pies, and pastries I'll return sometime! read more

Something told me to stop here and I am so glad we did. When you step in, the aroma of fresh brewed coffee envelopes you. The friendly and welcoming staff make you feel at home as you make your selections. We got slices of cherry and coconut pies. Normally, I eat as little of the crust as possible, but the Pie Safe's crusts were so flaky and light I could not resist. Both pies were delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. Truly worthy of a special trip! read more

I don't expect anybody would go out of their way to come get some pie in Western NC but if you're in the area or heading to Asheville you'd be well rewarded coming here for a slice. Amazing crusts. Fillings were excellent. Nothing too sweet. Lots of choice but on a weekend get here before 12 or the choices will decrease as the crowds devour the offerings. We had the Apple and sour cherry pies and the cherry was exceptional, with a streusel type crust. I'd have bought a whole one if going back home but I was flying out the next day and it wasn't an option. And I guess you have to order a whole one in advance anyway. Prices are very reasonable too and the slices are big. You can see in the photos the pies are oversized. The town is mostly all on the one Main Street and they have made a great effort to attract tourists with great little shops and stores. Well worth a couple of hours of your time. Service was a bit slow, but y'all relax and chill while you wait. You're in the South. Eat some pie then digest as you investigate the shops! read more

Love this place. Wish our hometown had something like this. Best cherry pie ever!! Forest City, y'all are lucky.

WOW! Oh my there is more than yummy pies. Cheesecakes yelled at me and I got 4, oh my! Captured some treats to share; Red Velvet and Raspberry Swirl and Strawberry Cream and a Chocolate Covered one with a berry on top. HALLELUJAH There are quiche pies, there are berry and fruit pies, cookies and scones plus more. Amazingly escaped with a bit of money in my pocket and so many extra delicious pounds. read more

Walking Forest City's main street for Christmas lights on Christmas Eve, we stopped here to have a snack. Their bakery offerings were scarce near closing time. They did have chocolate cake and an assortment of muffins. They were making several coffees on this cold afternoon. We enjoyed the white chocolate raspberry muffin. The top was crunchy, the center moist and soft with ample dried raspberries. We are not coffee drinkers, so we passed on that. The decor is great for photo ops, with eclectic chairs and architecture, as it's in a former bank. Even the old safe is used. The service was slow, and the staff seemed to enjoy chatting with each other rather than assisting customers. They seemed put out when we asked questions. We are older than the crowd in the shop this day, or any coffee shop for that matter, but it served its purpose for us, and we moved on. read more

The best service e I've ever had at any coffee shop! Wonderful coffee graciously served and promptly. This is located in a beautiful antique bank building in a two-story lobby. Inside you can see the massive round vault door that very safely guarded cash and securities. This Poe. Safe is furnished with marble top tables and antique reproductions that invite you to sit and savor whatever baked goods you desire. Please give my compliments to whoever selected the soft contemplative piano that added the perfect touch to end a perfect afternoon. read more

First time here today, we were so excited. I had some friends say this is a great dessert and coffee place. We walked in and a nice lady says hello welcome to pie safe. Have you ever been here before ? we said no. She made suggestions, we had some , small talk ! The staff were super nice and friendly . The place was clean, the atmosphere was nice. All the desserts looked delicious. They were all very decorative . My husband had the blueberry cheesecake. He said it was so good. My friends had gotten a slice pecan pie, a cookie, mini NY cheese cake & a slice of peanut butter pie. They said everything was delicious. Everything was fantastic! So thank you so much for making our first experience awesome! ( it would have been nice to have had some keto friendly sweets, just a suggestion ) read more

A great concept a old bank where the vault is filled with pies. Not just any kind of pies but some of the best I have tried. The crust was amazing. The pies I was expecting to be sweet, yet to my surprise they were perfect, not too sweet at all! This is a locals heaven for desserts, they also have cookies and muffins. I usually stop here after getting dinner someplace close by. If you are in town make this a stop! You won't regret it!! read more

Very nice treats! The price is reasonable and the key lime pie is absolutely ridiculous delicious! We will be back!

Wasn't expecting this to be as amazing as it was!! Ambiance, service and food all 5 stars. We were only in town for a quick weekend get away but we were here twice lol!! Both Friday night and Saturday afternoon were perfect! The coffees and the pastries were equally delicious. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite so we will be back to try it all lol read more

#500 reviews!!! Saved this to be one of my Milestones cause its a WINNER!! We have heard a lot about Pie Safe nothing but good comments so we finally had a chance to stop in after eating down the street at a place we enjoy. So we had to come here for dessert! I am not big on sweets, once in awhile you want something that looks good and tastes good! We found the spot! We went in for our first time! I am not a fan of pie dough, crust anything to do with pie. Anyone who knows me knows automatically I take the thick part off the pie first. Then I just eat the filling off and leave the rest! Well guess what??? I ate all of it! AMAZING PIE CRUST! Its flakey and light and very good. I am serious when I tell you I just don't normally eat it. So we ordered a small pie to share. We didn't want anything too sweet. The girl said the Chocolate Chess pie was good. Like a brownie but not as sweet. She was correct! It was good!!! I had never had that kind of pie before either. We did buy 2 muffins as well to take home to have with coffee. A Blueberry and Chocolate Chip. The only complaint on just the Chocolate Chip was it was a bit dry and did not taste like it was just made. The blueberry my husband enjoyed. I like the sugar on top gave it a great taste. Over all a very good place if your looking for a snack or to take a pie home. Stop in here if you need a fix!! You won't regret it, Plus just think this use to be a bank so you will see the big vault in back. Great name for it, they left it the way it was, nice clean place too!! We will go back for sure! read more

Omg.... The coconut cream pie... Initially was not hungry at all and only came to hangout with my teenage child. But than I took one bite. There was no going back at that point. I devoured it and haven't stopped thinking about it and its been days. Service is great too even though I barely acknowledged them cause this pie had snatched my soul temporarily. read more

If you've found yourself in Forest City NC, and you've just searched for something delicious in this quaint little town on the way to or from Chimney Rock or you're a car enthusiast and you're in town for the Bennett Classic Antiques Auto Museum, congrats you've just stumbled upon something great! First of all... They have PIE FLIGHTS! yes that means you get 3 half slices of goodness. YAY options! (note they have CHESS pies! something you don't often see) 2nd ... Other baked options...CHEESECAKES, HUGE COOKIES, Cinnamon Rolls, Quiches... 3rd Coffee and Lattes This place is a shining star off the Main Street. Glamorous antique gold and pink touches placed casually around this converted bank from the 1920s makes this location a perfect spot to enjoy coffee and conversation or alone time with a book. I will make this an intentional pit stop whenever I am nearby. read more

When I found out there was a homemade pie store in Forest City it didn't take me long to visit. Pie is one of my favorite desserts, or maybe I should say "good pie". The shop is a in a cute downtown area right on the corner. I believe it's actually in an old bank building - I could swear a saw a bank vault at the back of the store. The variety of products here is pretty incredible, but not all products are available all the time. So... breads, scones, muffins, quiche, cheesecake, cookies and of course PIE! I'm probably forgetting some things. I opted for the NY Style Cheesecake and a Latte, while my kids split a giant Chocolate Chip Muffin. Everything was delicious and fairly priced. The Latte was less than $3 and my entire bill was right at about $10. Fresh Baguettes are only $2. If you're indecisive you can get a "pie flight" for $5.50 which allows you to choose three half slices. So why didn't I get the pie? I'm a two crust pie kind of guy and all the ones that day had streusel topping. I'll definitely keep checking back as flavors rotate and new ones appear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a coconut custard to make an guest appearance! read more

Omg! I love love the vegan chocolate chip cookies! (And I don't really eat vegan anything) My man loves the oatmeal cream pies! I have a feeling anything you might buy here might be your new favorite! read more

This is my Wife's favorite place in forest city. I honestly don't really eat pie/cake but my wife , and anyone we bring here loves everything! I do however drink a couple gallons of coffee a day, and this place makes a damn good cup of coffee. Service is always fast, and friendly. 5 stars because there are no more stars to give. read more

Stopped in on my way from Asheville to Charlotte and I'm sure glad I did. I bought various pies for a family function and they were all delicious. Friendly service and a fun space. It's worth the trip read more

We drive from Asheville to Pie Safe just for the raspberry almond muffins and the coconut cream pie. I can't explain how tasty the almond flavor is in the muffin, and I'm not usually a muffin fan. My hubby dearly loves the coconut cream pie. I tried a bite and now I'm torn. I guess next time I'll get both! The staff are very pleasant. The prices are good and the combination vault is a sight to behold. read more

This was their Grand Opening. Packed!!! They gave away a slice of pie and coffee or hot chocolate. Cute place with seating around the bakery displays and a few seats up in the balcony. This has been a anticipated bakery in Forest City since the announced their opening almost a year ago. They will serve coffee, espresso, latte, hot tea with pies,by the slice or whole, cheesecakes, specialty cakes, muffins, scones, cookies , cinnamon buns and breads. I also believe breakfast sandwiches will be available. Looking so forward to fresh baked goodies! read more

We came for the Grand Opening, even though there have been hundreds of people thru in the first few hours the staff was great as well as the desserts and coffee!

So glad to have found this spot! I was looking for a special way to celebrate all the volunteers assisting to rehab a property. In my search, I found this spot in the next town over from where we were. The counter staff was helpful and I was super thankful to have been able to score their cherry pie and their chocolate pecan pie. Manage to get a mini apple pie as well. After a long day of having fun working, it was the pies that kicked us into a lovely night of reflection and celebration! read more

This is such a fun spot to meet with friends and get great coffee and a sugar fix. The way they preserved the old bank makes this establishment a treasure for visitors as well as locals to enjoy. I am glad Pie Safe is in our community! read more

I've really enjoyed anything I've gotten from here! A week or two ago I went in for some hot cocoa and it was creamy and rich and pipping hot! The apple and goat cheese gallery I had with it was flavorful, flakey and just a delightful way to start my morning. The bakery is in such a cool building- an actually old bank with a giant safe! Plus the play on words is pretty impeccable. read more

Awesome desserts after a nice dinner in Forest City. The town is beautiful which allows parking and a nice evening walk.

Such a delightful bakery! I've never tried a baked good I didn't like. Their cheesecake is top notch and customer service is well trained. Kind, courteous, prepared to make amends should any customer encounter an error. The owner and her staff continually go above and beyond. We used the Pie Safe for a teachers function at a local high school, they had everything ready in a timely manner and helped us out to the car. It was easy to order bulk, and made every part of the process enjoyable. Coffee is standard coffee, nothing special about it. But definitely go for the baked goods and the adorable atmosphere! read more

Love this place, best in the region for homemade breakfast pastries, quiche and pie/ cheesecake etc. great place for a coffee and scone.

Delicious pies and other desserts make this a must visit establishment. Also pair that with great service and you have the whole experience down. The ambiance feels like just what it is a great dessert place with extremely nice people running it. read more

Pie Safe does a great job serving up sweet treats in a historic downtown Forest City building. It reminds me and my wife of a small-town version of Amelie's in Uptown Charlotte and in NODA. The pies were very good, we enjoyed the Bonnie & Clyde Friday date night special (buy two slices at $3.50 each and get two regular self-serve coffees free. Cheesecakes not included.) You can get a Pie flight (three half slices for $5.50.) A whole pie will cost you $20. Lots of other bakery treats and coffees are available. If you're unfamiliar with Forest City, there's plenty of free parking available in downtown. If it's daytime, there's a bookstore not far away, in walking difference. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants for dinner before or after your dessert. We encourage you to check this place out and support local business! read more

My husband and I shared a pie flight of lemon meringue, chocolate mousse, and the best damn peanut butter pie I've ever had in my life. The pie is an amazing and the interior is adorable. So glad my husband's sweet tooth hit just in time for us to discover this gem. This will be a regular stop on our way to Asheville. We took 3 other flavors home for our kids to try. read more
