Praise the LARD! Stumbled upon this place by seeing the words EMPANADAS on the window. Once I saw those words, I walked straight inside and ordered myself one. I did enjoy my breakfast empanada very much but the chicken one was definitely my favorite. It came with a chimichurri type sauce that just brought the already flavorful empanada to another level. The acid/garlic from the sauce was able to brighten up the heavier filling and crust. Let's talk about the crust for a second. It was so flaky, melt in your mouth texture! We did get to try the beef empanada as they gave it to us on accident instead of the chicken. All three were delicious and next time I would love to try their quiches or homemade soups! read more

Scones are terrific, pies well above average, charming setting in downtown Manasquan. Not cheap, but quality baked goods aren't.

Blueberry crumble pie was extremely delicious!! Staff were nice, and the shop was cute!

Sunburst Pie Co is the perfect small town, made-from-scratch bakery, The scones, empanadas, pies and fresh squeezed OJ are really great. Everybody from the owner/baker to the counter staff is friendly and cool. Buy Local..support small biz.... especially when the scones are so good! Get there early as they sell out on weekends! read more

As we were on vacation at the NJ shore, took a long drive through various beach towns and noticed the Sunburst Bakery. After reading a lot of convincing reviews, decided to stop early on our way out of town for the peach scone (a bit of almond extract would elevate the fruit) and the artichoke, goat cheese, tomato and asparagus quiche. It was substantial and really creamy. And the pie crusts are homemade, tender and flaky. Added two small pies: the key lime was my absolute flavorite, creamy and just the right lime flavor without tasting too sour. Although it collapsed on the way home, it was just the right true lime taste without being bitter. I've had many versions of key lime pie, even in the Keys and this was my fave! The other banana chocolate features a pie crust lined in chocolate, loaded with layered bananas, crème topping and drizzled chocolate. Next trip, I'm trying more specialty treats! Thanks, Jay and staff for baking goodies! read more

Pies and more pies. Savory and fruit . The chicken pot pies is special. The peas, pearl onions ,carrots white meat chicken are cooked perfectly . Veg is firm and fresh not canned. Fruit pies are exceptional partly because of the crust. Yes their hours are a little restrictive because they sell out of pies. This is a one man show. If you have an urge for pie, get there before noon or you risk being shut out. The day I went, they had 1 apple, 1 apple crum, 1 pecan, 1 mini short rib and cheese whipped potato (I bought it, yum) and 1 lemon meringue full size. They will have dozens of pies at 10:00. Enough said. read more

First timer and won't be the last time. My husband and I tried the key lime pie on a stick with chocolate coating- really fun and delicious. Great cakey scones. We tried the blueberry and chocolate chip. Nice staff too. read more

I've tried their Scones, Quiches and empanadas - all fantastic. You can buy them as is- or heated up if you like. I usually get them ahead of when I plan to eat them so I hear them up later and they're perfect. Thanks Jay! read more

We try and stop here every time I'm down the shore. Best pies I've had in New Jersey. Favorites are the chocolate cream, and the coconut cream pies. The chocolate covered bananas are my sons favorite. read more

Literally NEVER OPEN! They either close before the hours displayed online, close before the hours posted even on the signage, or are just randomly closed altogether on a day that they're supposed to be open. 3rd time and still no pie. read more

First visit to Sunburst Pie this past Saturday. I bought a mini chocolate cream pie, a mini apple pie, and a slice of quiche. The quiche was supposed to be spinach and feta - at least that's what the girl told me it was, I was surprised to learn there was bacon in the quiche after my first bite, I'm a vegetarian. Needless to say, she should have mentioned the bacon. That being said, the pies were very good, enjoyed the thick homemade crust. The chocolate cream pie was decadent as you can see in my photos. The apple pie was so good, the filling could stand to be a drop sweeter. The prices are a little high here, but you're getting as close to home baked as possible here. Looking forward to returning. read more

So my boss recommended this place to me one day and mentioned that if they had the empanadas to get one. I am so happy I did! This is the pork roll, egg and cheese and it is amazing! The dough is close to a pie crust in that it is super flakey, buttery and light. Then the filling! Whatever they use to season the eggs is amazing! Get it warmed up and enjoy it with an ice tea and you are good to go! read more

If you want the best key lime pie outside of the Florida Keys, then this is the place for you. Simply amazing Key Lime pie! In season, you must try the cherry pie too. The quiche and the empanadas are delicious. And the scones are just perfect. Crispy on the outside. Moist on the inside. Kudos to the Chef! read more

The key lime pie dipped in chocolate is available only during the summer. I went in the spring and was turned away pie-less. For shame.

I've been a loyal customer for 5 years and have recommended many people to this shop, but I can't bring myself to go back there again. The owner Jay spoke to me a few times, both on the phone and in person, in such a nasty manner that I have finally had it with being abused for spending a lot of money at his establishment. At first, I attributed it to being stressed over the number of orders he has to produce during the holidays, but his abrasive and rude attitude carries over to other non-holiday days. I've been told by other people I referred to his shop, that he was also very nasty to them, and they have stopped patronizing his business. I realize and understand that we don't know the personal struggles people might have, but when in business there needs to be some sort of courtesy extended to the people that support your business. Aside from his offensive attitude, when you dare ask a question about a product you really love, he has more than once complained about the price of the items required to make it. I wish I could continue to shop there, because his products are delicious, but I think I owe it to myself not to be battered by him any longer. read more

best banana cream pie on earth! I mean it... He knows how to make a flakey crust, fresh bananas, sugar, cream etc. All I can say is you have to stop here and see for your yourself. Anything I have ever tried here makes me smile and want more. Owner very "real" and attentive, funny, charming etc. Love supporting this place. I come quite a bit and try not to eat everything in site. Just support the locals, he deserves it. He should be voted best pie in all of New Jersey! read more

This is going to boarder on GUSHING but this place is GOLDEN. I took home a slice of spinach feta quiche, a mini blueberry pie and a hearty chicken pot pie. Everything was amazing! The quiche was savory with a delicious crust. The blueberry pie was one of the best I ever tasted with just enough tartness to make it perfect and again the crust was so great! The chicken pot pie was jam packed with tons of chicken and fresh vegetables and you guessed it oh that crust! I'm here to say gooooo to Sunburst Pies and treat yourself to food definitely made with love and pride. After seeing posts on their Instagram account for so long I am thrilled I finally went and you will be too. I'm about to become a regular! read more

What everyone says about their pies: it's TRUE! You can't miss this stop whenever you visit Manasquan. I wish I could take them home but I can see how the delicate crust could be ruined when refrigerated. read more

This is an awesome find. Talking with a server at comitted pig about pie and she tells us to go here. Best find. Where do I begin. I missed it a few times trying to get there because they are not open late but worth getting to finally. I called and asked if they had banana cream pies and could I get extra banana. One hour later the most amazing banana cream pie and as if it was no big deal to make for me but it truly was an amazing pie and they we're so kind about the request. I left with chocolate banana, chocolate cream, berry, scones and insanely unique empanadas in little boxes with accompanying sauces. This place has so much more and the owner is so so kind and happy to please us. He deserves the credit for above and beyond. He cares about the quality he serves. And it shows. Made even my crazy family super happy and now they order here for birthdays and our gatherings. Yum. read more

I am so in love with this place. I rarely eat scones or pies because few get the texture of crust right! Tender but flakey is a science. This guy nails it every time. I live an hour away but make excuses to come to Manasquan just to visit Sunburst. So far I've had the dessert pies, scones, pot pies, Shepard's pie and quiches. I prefer everything warmed in the oven to get the perfect crust consistency. Therefore, the cream based pies weren't a home run for me because when refrigerated the crust loses its charm. Today I brought home a cup of the Cajun shrimp soup. Is there nothing the cook/owner can't accomplish? It was spectacular!! You can tell when someone loves his job. The dedication comes shining through in the quality of the food served. read more

Their pumpkin pie was just like homemade as I'm sure it is! apple and chocolate cream were delicious too. I paid top price but are very good. I'd like to try others as well. read more

Amazing apple pie and empanadas! The secret is lard in the crust but it sure is good. We loved the mini apple pie so much that we went back and got a mini apple crumb pie, also fabulous. Flaky, flavorful crust and delicious apples. We got a full size blueberry peach pie which was a little disappointing. Fruit didn't seem cooked enough (odd texture) and more liquid inside than I'd like. But those empanadas.... The spicy ground beef with raisins is addictive. My husband and daughter's favorite was the caramelized pineapple shredded pork one. They may not look large but are so rich that it's wise to share one. We're here for the week and I'm planning going back for another beef one. Closed Mondays so hope there will be a hot one waiting for me Tuesday. read more

Pies are my weakness. And so is this place. This was the number one apple pie that I have. And trust me, I have been devouring pies for 30 years now. It was warm, crispy, not too sweet, filed with cinnamon, just like a Love it. They have a large variety of sweet and savory. The staff is welcoming, the prices are just right, and the service could t be faster. Thank you!! read more

Sunburst Pie is exceptional!! The Chocolate cream pie is decadent and rich, the banana cream pie is to die for loaded w/ banana and the banana filling is delicious.. all the pies are great - best in the State for sure! The Empanadas as fantastic too - always has an interesting variety. The scones also wonderful.. this is a must ! Do yourself a favor and stop in.. this place is a 'find' and you will be back again and again!! read more

Great place to get a superior pie. Key Lime seems to be the most popular - it's pricey but worth it. Awesome quiche, scones, light lunch options. Everything looks and tastes super fresh. The owner is really nice. Go there and check it out! read more

I just bought the chicken broccoli pie. It was OUTSTANDING!!! I can't wait to go back!

I found Sunburst on Yelp while searching for a bakery. I needed a dessert for a few dinners guests. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try it. When I arrived, I was overwhelmed with choices, so I asked for recommendations. The girls at the counter told me that the key lime is popular. Next most popular is the chocolate. So I got one small pie of each. I was tempted to try a mini of all the flavors, but I held back and decided that one more mini would suffice. I love apple pie, but I am hesitant to buy it from a bakery because my mother-in-law's apple pie is hard to beat. Well, I caved and ordered a mini of the apple as well. Let me tell you, EVERY pie was SO darn good, and my dinner guests were impressed. I will definitely be back. read more
