    Soooo good
    Anthony C.

    This place delivers in its name with their PIES. Simple, homemade, and just done right. The fillings are flavorful and not overly sweet. We ordered the pumpkin and chocolate pecan for a friendsgiving and they were a hit. These pies definitely do not taste store bought and are not artificially sweetened. The pumpkin filling was creamy with just enough spice and the chocolate pecan is nothing short of orgasmic lol. The pie crust is simple and definitely takes a back seat to highlight the flavors of the different fillings being offered. Only downside is that most pies by the time I came to pick mine up on a Saturday were not available as you have to order ahead. I would've loved to have tried their macadamia nut cream pie *drool*. Guess ill just have to come back.

    After reading the raving reviews I decided to order two pies for a Friendsgiving dinner. I was very fortunate to get those pies after requesting them the morning of. They had made extra Pumpkin && Chocolate Pecan and they kindly set them aside for me. Don't leave it up to chance though, I would definitely recommend putting in your order the day before. Service was impeccable unfortunately the pies left something to be desired. The pumpkin pie made my mouth water upon first look. Later that night after having an AMAZING dinner cooked by my friend Ale I was ready for some pie. I was heartbroken when I could barely taste any pumpkin. It was bland with hints of cinnamon. Thankfully the chocolate pecan was a lot tastier, great combo. I will be returning in hopes that the bourbon pecan is even better!! Happy Thanksgiving Yelpers!!

    Fondant strawberry cake.

    I agree with Julia S. how this bakery is more known for their holiday pies. But recently I ordered a fondant cake for my niece's first birthday and it was absolutely beautiful. I'm usually not a fan of fondant but the entire cake was completely edible. Still reminiscing about this delicious fluffy strawberry cake : )

    This place is AMAZINNGGG. The best pies and cakes I've ever tasted!! I don't like mass production store bought apple pies but their individually made ones are sooooo delicious I can eat an entire pie by MYSELF. I don't order from anywhere else during the holidays or birthdays I buy their pies and cakes they can even customize them. Their customer service is out of this world such kind and understanding people they really treat each order like it's their only one and make the effort to make sure he happy with ur pie and all the little details.

    If you're looking for a custom cake, this is THE PLACE to get it. This was my first experience ordering a custom cake. I called to get a quote for my mom's 60th birthday cake idea that I had, which involved a hidden money roll compartment that gets pulled out from the top of the cake. I called on a Wednesday and was able to get the cake on the following Saturday - so fast! I spoke to Jonathan, the operations manager, on the phone during the first call and he was very helpful and honest about what could be done in a short amount of time, but it ended up working out bc the cake I wanted was not too fancy or complicated. I asked for a simple cream colored round cake with elegant piped floral decoration, and the insertion of the money box. I emailed him some inspiration pictures and the custom cake specialist totally delivered!! The flavor I chose was Italian Cream and it was as delicious as it was beautiful. The icing was not too sweet, which is just how we like it. The price was extremely affordable (about $75), especially compared to other custom cake places. Couldn't recommend them more to all my family and friends who get custom cakes for special occasions. My mom loved it so much. Thank you so much Pie Factory! For anyone wondering, you can get the money roll kit off of amazon!

    Oh my god there aren't enough great words to say about this company I came to them with a crazy baby in the box baby shower cake and they suggested onesie cookies. Not only did they knock it out of the ballpark but everyone loved the cake and cookies and the decorations were beautiful. Other than that the price was very reasonable. Everyone else I called wanted at least $750 and they were no where near that price. This should be your go to bakery Patricia

    Ordered a cake for my sister-in-law's baby shower and it was incredible...look, taste and all. The detail was extraordinary and made the event very special. I would definitely recommend them.

    Grooms cake (they even had dotted lines for the jersey stitching!) This was a carrot cake (one of our favorites) and was delicious!

    The pie factory is a hidden gem in Houston. This place has the best pies, cakes, cookies, cake balls, etc etc! Everything is handmade in the bakery at the back and let's just say....there are never leftovers when we get dessert from the pie factory! We've been coming here for years now and order anything from pies for house parties, customized birthday cakes to even our wedding cakes! Although their main customers are larger corporations, they treat small customers like us with much care and attention. Note: Our wedding and grooms cakes were so impressive that even our venue posted it on their instagram. They have an amazing cake artist that went above and beyond what we originally requested.

    New location

    I have glanced at this place over the years and the one time I want to finally buy a pie and they move locations. It was a tad hard to find, but once you know landmarks it's no problem. The store is located at the end if a strip center that does not face the street. So be looking for the Sign. Its right next to a Brake Check. I came here still debating if I wanted a pie or cake. After looking at the selections I got the apple pie. It was good and flaky. It would make a perfect addition on thanksgiving and Christmas. I wish they had petit fours for their cakes. That would be awesome. I'll be back for a cake. It's not that expensive. Be warned --- No credit cards or debit accepted ---. I don't know if this is temporary. I'd call to see If they do now.

    Orange pie version 3.

    My family orders a variety of pies from them and they are tasty. We asked them to copy an Orange pie recipe from the now closed Sun Wah Kue bakery in San Francisco. After the third version, we think it is spot on. It is a tasty refreshing pie with whipped cream. It has a nice orange flavor. All pies should be ordered ahead time by one day.

    Today was my first visit. The staff was kind, offered samples, and the sampled pecan pie was great. I purchased wedding cookies, an oatmeal cookie, and a sweet potato pie (my holiday favorite!) The cookies were good. However, I regret to write this but, hopefully this will help for future sweet potaoe pie efforts: my sweet potato pie unfortunately, was not to par. It lacked the light to medium souffle texture traditionally associated with s.p. pie. It was rather condensed and stale, like warmed puddy or soft glue. While there were hints of actual sweet potato (much appreciated), it appeared and tasted mixed with canned ingredient, overpowering what sweet potatoes there were, with an aftertaste. It lacked traditional buttery, as well as the traditional nutmeg/spicing, and was bland yet overbearingly sweet. The business seems well operated, clean, well appointed, and the staff was kind and accommodating; it is also in a good location, so I wish the best for this business, but I have to give this honest feedback of my purchase, in hopes that it will help an otherwise well-run establishment.

    The BEST apple and pecan pie I ever had!

French style baguettes are perfect. The only problem is the pastries suffer from humidity of Houston and if not eaten fresh they can get soggy and lose their texture. I am referring to the mille fuille. The chocolate cake was really good and held up for a few days. I bought 4 baguettes, 4 mille fuille, 4 chocolate cakes and 2 boxes of mixed macaroons for $100.

I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile!
