The famous desserts here once inspired me to devise an email subject header entitled Their A&R Man Said I Don't Hear a Swingle, but the truth is I don't recall if I've gotten one of these as I prefer the purity of the outstanding regular pie. Bad planning and weather meant absurdly late breakfast on Saturday so I was stunned to find they have tamales here. I enjoyed the chicken with red sauce. read more

The small key lime tarts were so good yesterday ! I usually get the pie but these little tarts are just as delicious. The filling has just the right amount of lime flavor with a little bit of zest. The crust is so much better than anything you can buy at local retail stores. The people working here are very friendly and kind too. read more

I was so excited to go here! And even more thrilled when I tasted the tart. The place is adorable with a pick up window. All 3 of us had the tarts. And since it was a cold day, my friend ordered a coffee too. You MUST go here! Even if it's a drive to get here-- worth it! read more

So mediocre! I'm confused how this place is famous! I would not get it again! The key lime pie did not have ANY lime flavor and left me feeling disappointed. I did enjoy the graham cracker crust which was tasty but overpowered each bite. We also got a chocolate dipped frozen raspberry key lime pie on a stick. It was refreshing on a hot day but again, there was no key lime pie flavoring. It tasted like a chocolate covered raspberry. The personal sided pie was $6.50 and the frozen chocolate one of a stick was $9. The line was about 10 people deep when I joined it and took about 10 min. There was only one person working behind the counter. They have picnic tables outside to eat at or you can walk over to the park and sit on a bench to enjoy your treat. No restrooms were available for customers. read more

Rating: 7.5/10 Date Last Visited: 9/6/2025 We ordered the Raspberry Chocolate Swingle ($9.50) and La Victoria Swingle ($9.50). The swingles are individual servings of key lime pie dipped and coated in chocolate. The raspberry swingle was delicious - there was a good balance between the raspberry jam and key lime pie plus chocolate. It tasted exactly like what you would expect a chocolate dipped key lime pie to taste like. The La Victoria had a spicy kick to it, and I personally was not a fan. It's takeout only but the surrounding area has nice views. Overall, if you're a fan of key lime pie and chocolate, this place is worth a visit. read more

I went to Red Hook Tavern twice since I needed to try the key lime pies at Steve's. The first time I went, I didn't realize that Steve's closed at 7pm, but we made sure not to make the same mistake twice. The key lime pies are all amazing, and the seasonal fruit flavored ones are even better! The crust is perfectly crumbly and the filling is tangy and sweet. I wish they had a regular frozen version without the chocolate coating since it is a bit too sweet, but the serving sizes are just right. If I had a car or if it wasn't so humid, I'd buy a full pie to go. read more

Steve's key lime pie is some of the best I've ever had! The shop is a walk-up with no indoor seating, so keep that in mind if you visit during the winter. You'll have to enjoy your pie outside, but there are plenty of benches available. The service was quick and easy, and I'd definitely come back in the summer to enjoy it in warmer weather. Still, it was well worth braving the cold! read more

Absolutely incredible! The key lime pie is perfectly balanced, refreshing, and unique for a hot summers day. Service was quick, no line at noon on weekday day. The server also gave some great recommendations and answered all my families questions about their menu and store hours (Came back twice in one day because it was just so good). Laid-back vibe by the waterfront which makes this Red Hook gem the perfect spot for a sweet treat with a view. read more

Expect a wait but the line moves fairly quickly and well worth the wait! Service is great and friendly. Stunning views of New York harbor and you can enjoy your pie on the picnic benches, especially on warm summer days. Purchased a single serving pie - the graham cracker crust is buttery, the filling is really silky and smooth, the lime is nice and tart. Really refreshing! read more

I spent a day in RedHook and heard so much about this place I had to give it a try. I'm a big fan of key lime pie so I was looking forward to this. I got the small tart and the frozen pie with raspberry. Both pies lacked the tart like flavor I look for in the pie. The crust was standard but for the price I don't think it lived up to the hype. read more

Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was really looking forward to key lime pie. Sadly, Steve's isn't quite what it used to be. The custard filling lacked the creamy texture and that signature balance of sweetness and tartness that makes key lime pie so deliciously satisfying. The graham cracker crust was crumbly and didn't hold together well, making it a bit tricky to enjoy each bite. The treat was edible, but definitely not the zesty dessert I had hoped for. read more

Abs love love loveeeeee! Menu is small and straight to the point. It's a little booth in a building with some parking spots. Great views. Service was great. Tried the classic swingle...omg...it was amazing! Served cold and that's best. I loved how the crust of the pie isn't thick, but still gives a nice crunch for each bite. It's perfectly portioned. I can't believe I missed out on this for so long. Prices are reasonable. This is a must try if you're in the red hook area or a visit in NYC. They also have coffee here which I didn't get to try as it was a hot summer day lol. I will be back to try more of the menu for sure! 10/10 read more

yummy spot specializing in key lime pie! expect a line that moves quickly on the weekends. I will say, Cait's keylime will continue to have a hold on my heart, but I appreciate the ease of getting Steve's. It's a very cute location by the water, and you enjoy the pie at picnic tables outside (no inside seating). you order the pie at the window and the order gets to you super quick as everything is pre-made. I enjoyed the crust of the pie, and we got the mini and a swingle (dipped in chocolate with raspberry sauce). The swingle was served from the freezer and resembled a cake pop! Prices are a smidge high but definitely a treat read more

I love coming here so much that anytime we have family visiting us in Brooklyn - I feel it my duty to take them here. The key lime pie here is refreshing, tart, and oh so delicious. No matter the weather outside, these pies are such a great treat for when you're journeying through Red Hook. If there's a line on the day that you visit - just wait. It always moves super quickly. PS: If you're a chocolate fan - they have a chocolate dipped key lime pie that is so worth trying. read more

I love that this is a dedicated key limee pie place (besides the surprise tamales), but truthfully, I wish the key lime was more tart!! I want my key lime to smack me in the face with sour. This one was a bit too sweet, especially when you get the frozen ones on a stick dipped in chocolate. I'd be interested in trying the larger sizes to see if the filling to crust ratio helps improve the balance. read more

Went to Steve's with my girlfriend on a chilly afternoon in December. We heard amazing things about Steve's Key Lime Pie and we were excited to give it a try. When we arrived, we were surprised to find that this was not an indoor bakery. It is a window where you order and they give you the pie to eat outside. Knowing this now, would definitely recommend patrons come to visit when it is warm outside...it can be very windy and brisk in Red Hook during the winter. We ordered 1 classic 4 inch key lime pie, and 1 Classic Swingle - a 4 inch key lime pie dipped in Belgian chocolate. To our surprise, the Swingle was absolutely delicious! The chocolate coating was bright and fruity and complimented the key lime pie nicely. The standard key lime pie was good, but the crust was a bit crumbly for our liking and the custard was lacking a punch. That said, it is still a solid key lime pie. Would recommend but wouldn't go so far out of my way to try again. read more

Did you know that (supposedly) only two bakeries in the US fresh squeeze limes to make key lime pies? One is located in Key West, FL and the other is located in Red Hook Brooklyn (spoiler: it's Steve's Key Lime Pies!) This bakery has a cute small-town feel and really adds to the whole nautical theme that all of Red Hook seems to have. You walk up to a window and order what you want so you're technically not stepping foot inside. Raspberry Swingle (6/10): A Swingle is a small 5-inch Key Lime Pie that has been dipped in chocolate and served like an ice cream popsicle on a stick. I never seek out key lime pies so take my rating/review with a grain of salt. I thought that the dark chocolate shell really overpowered the flavor of the lime/pie. I also thought the raspberry jam (as delicious and fresh as it was) also overpowered the pie itself. This place gets a 3/5 for taste but a 4/5 for vibes! read more

We wandered over to Steve's pies after having dinner in the area. Steve's has a relatively small menu consisting entirely of key lime pies in various sizes, and small pies dipped in chocolate. It was my first time here so I wanted to start off with the basic key line pie, but I'll be back to try the chocolate dipped versions later. The pie shop is actually just a window you can pick up pie from with a bunch of picnic tables out in front. Since there is no heated area, I would recommend taking these to go in the wintertime. The shop is right on the waterfront, and you can see a distant view of the Statue of Liberty from the seating area. The tarts have slightly crumbly graham cracker crusts which balance out the fresh lime flavor in the filling. The filling is not too sweet and the lime flavor tastes super fresh and well balanced - just enough tartness, just enough sweetness. Looking forward to coming back to try the chocolate dipped version. read more

Out there in the far reaches of Red Hook. This is a station of the cross for key lime pie enthusiasts. Not much to it, A Dutch door where you pay and pick up the goods. A few sizes and varieties. Know what you want before you reach the head of the line. Don't waste the man's time. Service is business like. No frills. Suggest walking out on the pier in the nearby park to enjoy your pie. read more

What a treat this little key lime pie shop brings to the neighborhood! As someone who doesn't even like key lime pies, I enjoyed this a lot. We arrived 10 minutes before closing at 7pm on a Sunday and there was a line of about 15 people in front of us. The line went by quickly as you just order, pay, and get your key lime pie right away. I noticed he continued to serve everyone until there weren't anymore customers even if it was past closing time. I want to assume it was the owner himself serving at the window (but maybe it could be an employee); either way, he was super friendly and nice. He happily welcomed each customer with such enthusiasm and kindly helped me when I asked for my $1 off with Yelp checkin. Even though a single mini Key Lime Pie ($6) was enough, I also wanted to try the Raspberry Blonde Swingle ($8). It was such a nice balance of tartness and sweetness that was so smooth. While I enjoyed the swingle, I wish the white chocolate option didn't have the raspberry since that was too sour for me, but I'm not personally a fan of regular chocolate. Needless to say, it was still delicious and I finished both by myself. Make sure you grab some napkins as the treat gets a bit messy. I love how it's conveniently located at an oceanfront park and right off the Ferry, so it's the perfect spot to enjoy your key lime pie. read more

Food: This is the best key lime pie ever! Everyone I know who has their key lime pie loves it as well. The pie has a buttery graham cracker crust. The key lime filling is smooth and creamy with the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. They sell three different size pies as well as frozen ones if you're not eating it right away. They sell frozen chocolate covered key lime pies also. If you like key lime pie, this is the place for you! Service: Staff is friendly and packs the pies nicely for transporting. Ambiance: The place is small with tables and benches outdoors if you want to eat there. Most people purpose the pies to go. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It's worth the trip to Red Hook just for this pie! read more

Steve's key lime pie is absolutely incredible! I tried the classic chocolate-covered swingle, and it was insanely good--rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. It's a small joint with picnic tables outside when the weather is nice, making it perfect for a quick stop. More of a grab-and-go kind of place. While you're there, make a day of it by visiting nearby spots like Strong Rope Brewery, Red Hook Cidery, or Red Hook Winery, all just steps away! Definitely stopping here every-time I'm in Red Hook! read more

Saw a video of the spot on TikTok and knew I had to give it a try! We came on a Monday afternoon and we were the only ones there. It was a cute storefront with a lot of outdoor seating.

Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie - Burnt crust and can't taste the lime at all. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Because I was staying smack dab in the middle of the city, this was a bit of a hike, but let me tell you, it was WORTH IT!! Do you hear me? There was absolutely no line/wait on that Sunday afternoon, so I let out a sigh of relief exiting my almost $50 Uber . I ordered the white chocolate, raspberry key lime pie, and Lord have mercy, I needed to fly back to Dallas to slap my mama extra hard! I was caught by surprise because these delicious treats are frozen, so I recommend not immediately getting down to business if you want to keep all of your teeth....let it thaw for about 5ish minutes. The white chocolate and raspberry complimented the pie very well. Wasn't overly tart or too sweet. Perfect in every way! This is another "MUST" every time I visit! Steve did his thang, here! read more

My friend and I were nearby and wanted some desserts, so I just did a quick yelp search for "desserts," and this popped up. This place is kind of tucked away, not somewhere you'll pass by often, unless you're going to the park then it's right by the entrance. Anyways, we decided to come here. You order from the window and there's seating outside. There are 3 variations of single pies, called swingles, to choose from: the classic dipped in dark chocolate, the raspberry with raspberry and dipped in dark chocolate, and the raspberry blonde which has raspberry and dipped in white chocolate. We were greeted by a friendly staff at the window. Ordering was very quick and easy, since the pies are already individually packed in plastic. I got the raspberry and my friend got the classic. We both enjoyed our key lime pies very much, a perfect balance of sweet and tart. My friend likes the classic better since she finds that it's a bit on the sweet side with the raspberry. I like the raspberry, I guess cause I like sweeter things. I am looking forward to try the raspberry blonde next time. read more

Came here because social media told me to, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that this place lived up to the hype. I love Key Lime Pie on its own, so the idea of being able to eat one on a stick dipped in chocolate was obviously appealing to me. We came right before they were about to close on a Sunday afternoon, and the line was still going strong. I decided to try the key lime pie with raspberry, which was the right choice. Sweet, tangy, with a little something extra thanks to the addition of the raspberry. Seating here is strictly outdoors as this is a stand, so if you're coming in inclement weather be ready to take your pie to go. It's honestly kind of a beautiful thing to just see folks line up and enjoy a portable dessert together at communal picnic tables on a sunny afternoon. Come for the Key Lime Pie, stay for the vibes. read more

So glad we decided to venture out to Red Hook for these key lime pies! They were absolutely delicious. I got the 4 inch tart, which is great for a single serving.

I didn't enjoy near as much, so would recommend sticking to the key lime pie if it's your first time. read more
