I can only speak for the chocolate mousse, soup of the day and customer service, but I'll definitely be back to try more. After this place made the review of the day, I was hoping to try the banoffee pie, but they didn't have any. In fairness, it was Easter Sunday and the cashier told me they only made them to order. When I first walked into this place, I thought I was in a Moroccan restaurant. They do a soup of the day and it just so happened they were making lentils with Moroccan spices. Thinking this was the soup of the day, the smell alone forced me to order a cup to go. Then they told me this was not, in fact, the soup of the day. The lentils were intended to go inside a pastry puff, but I didn't need the extra carbs so they let me just have the lentil concoction. It was delicious. Initially, I didn't care for the mousse, but that's because I left it in the fridge for too long after getting it home and didn't give it enough time to thaw out, so it was hard at first. I saved the rest for later and it was much, much better. The prices aren't too awful. The pint of soup and tiny mousse ran just over $10, but for Upper Montclair, I wasn't surprised. My only two gripes with this place are 1) nothing is labeled so you have to ask what everything is if it isn't obvious. And 2) The storefront is kind of cluttered with non-baked goods such as boxed cookies, Cadbury eggs around Easter time, etc. So there isn't much room to stand while you're waiting to be served. If you're not the only customer, things can get awkward. Overall though, the staff is super friendly and very accommodating. read more

This place caught me by surprise. I was not expecting the reaction that came from the family. All agreed it was like your grandmother worked in the back of this place and knew you were coming lol. The price is high but it's worth every cent. Seriously it is. First time there I got the pulled pork Pastie. Hooked. Since I've tried the turkey stuffed with stuffing assorted Thanksgiving favorites, the Lamb and feta as well as the usual store regulars. The pies are just as delicious. Each one looks different (even when the same type) and it's immediately obvious the level of professionalism in each one. The Apple/Blueberry mix is my favorite. And you really don't feel disgusting after eating it because it's actually fruit inside and not just jelly filling. I don't leave many reviews but this one felt like it am deserved it. Keep it up crew read more

Great little British store, selling all the familiar British biscuits and chocolates as well as a wide assortment of British pasties and fruit pies. Even frozen British style sausages and black pudding (blood sausage). For a Brit or Anglophile, this is the place for a taste of home! read more

AMAZING! If you are in the mood for some savory and sweet pies - this is a one stop shop. The store is very cute - with a great variety of cold pies, and a wall full of sweets and treats (chocolates, crackers, chips, etc). They also offer a variety of frozen pies that you can store at home and warm up when you need a quick dinner later in the week. Super convenient! First pie we tried was the steak, ale and mushroom pie. Let me just tell you we went across the street, sat on a park bench and ate the whole thing!!! It was just that damn good!! We also ordered the peach and blueberry pie to for home and that too was very delicious. I will be coming back to this store and getting more pies! read more

The Pie Store - Pies galore! - Bakeries Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

This is an authentic British pie shop right in Montclair. It serves as a store for imported English goods but it specializes in British baking. Most of the year, I go there for meat pies - like Shepherd's Pie or Cornish Pasties. During the holidays, I go there for homemade mince pies (best ever) and imported Christmas Pudding. They also do traditional desserts - key lime pie, etc. They own the tea shop next door as well. read more

Being from the South I'm a big fan of pot pies -- and The Pie Store makes savory pies on steroids. My favorite is the steak and mushroom -- but they are all good. My vegetarian friends love the chick pea (and so do i). All the pies are freshly made -- with the perfect crust of buttery pastry. Many days if I'm running around I stop by for the pastie (think great filling wrapped in yummy pastry) and they will heat it up. Always reliable for a great savory pie -- but many people don't know about their sweets. Whenever I throw a party -- their key-lime pies are a must. Their fruit pies are great anytime -- and make fantastic hostess gifts. They also feature authentic british snacks. read more

yummmm! I love that they put directions of how it should be served on their boxes. Their key-lime pie is delicious. I had it kind of frozen and still it was good. You can't really have them right away though? They give them out cold. The apple pie was good, but would probably be better if served a normal temperature read more

This place smells amazing before you even walk in; makes you want to buy everything!! My boyfriend and I celebrated our Thanksgiving early, and came here to get their apple pie. The crust was amazing! Even though it was a bit pricey, he really enjoyed it. He loved the crust and the texture of the apples! I think I would've preferred a sweeter filling, but for all those who love the real apple taste with a great crust this would be perfect. I definitely want to try their other pies- both sweet and savory! read more

The Pie Store - Bakeries Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Tried almost every pie in the place! Love that there is a place to buy British candies, too. The Shepherd's pie was good. The chicken Tikka Masada pie was a little strange, but tasty. I am Indian, so I love chicken Tikka, it was just a little different in a pastry shell. Liked the key lime and the blueberry, too. I wanted a plain banana cream pie, but they instead had some coffee combination that didn't sound appealing to me. Overall, pretty darn good. read more

I missed the boat on this one. It has been in Montclair for ages. I went for the first time only recently, and only because I read a review in yelp. So thanks Yelp for that! This store carries homemade sweet and savory pies. We have mostly had the savory ones. So good. Indian curry and a meat pie. So good. Also a key lime pie once, also good. But go for the savory ones. They also carry some other things that are usually harder to find in the US, most from Great Britain, some from other areas in the Eurozone. Nothing here is cheap, but I bet its all good. Worth it. They store well, so you can keep them in a fridge or freezer if needed. Limited parking in front, but Ive not had trouble parking now that Ive discovered it. read more

Tons of items in this tiny place. It was so good my sister bought us there twice, so we could stock up. Very friendly staff as well. Had the steak and mushroom pie one night and it was delicious. read more

Awesome!! Their meat pies are filling and tasty and there's plenty it them to choose from. If you're in the mood for sweets, they have every type of goodie you can imagine from across the pond. But most of all, they have Lucozade! One of the greatest drinks ever. So thankful my friend introduced me to it years ago read more

The Pie Store - Bakeries Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

My neighbor raves about this place so I tried it Had a chicken pot pie and a blue berry pie, both were not good at all Chicken pot pie had a bad seasoning and a thick dry crust, very dry. The blueberry pie was sour and had no flavor with too much crust as well. No one in my family liked it. Paid about $35 for large chicken pot pie and $25 for blue berry and didn't eat any of it. Definitely over priced!!! Not buying from there anymore read more

Love love love the pie store! The second you walk in you're hit with the delicious aroma of freshly baked pies. I usually come on nights when I don't want to make dinner since the pies are delicious and very quick to heat up (about 20 min for the large pasties). They also freeze very well, so my freezer usually has a couple in there just in case. My favorites are the pasties, though the pies give them a good run for their money. For the price you get a lot of pasty. One of the big pasties feeds me and my boyfriend. My favorite flavors are: sweet potato and blue cheese, cornish, and lamb and feta. They also carry my all time favorite sweets: Kinder Happy Hippos. Soooo good. Oh! And get some scones while you're there too. The strawberry scone is delicious! FYI: Last year you needed to reserve pies for the holidays, but I saw a sign that this year they're doing first come first serve. read more

I was getting work done on my truck next door and saw this little shop, im scared to try different pastries so i stuck with the key lime pie so far good maybe next time ill try something else read more

The Pie Store - Bakeries Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Pies ranging from key lime to traditional British steak, ale, and mushroom! The Pie Store has GIANT to small sized pies. Also, there are pasties. I ordered a Cornish pastie and it was fabulous. It was stuffed with ground beef, potatoes and carrots. Highly recommend! read more

Friends of ours purchased the Steak and Ale Pie and Chicken pie for my post-surgery husband . Wow ! He hasn't had any appetite for a while but this he devoured . Flaky crust with big chunks of beef , not the usual mushy pie . I had to help him out , poor guy . Will be heading to Montclair for these delights . read more

Great little place for all kinds of sweet and savory ours, tarts, soups, stews! Go in and you will surely walk out laden with goodies and happy to tuck in to the treats! Brandied Pumpkin Pie!!! Need I say more???? It is THE BEST--don't tell my mom ;-) but it really IS!!! Shepherds Pie, apple pie, cherry pie, sweet potato pie, lemon tarts, pastys (yes, I mean pastys and not pastries) lemon ricotta scones or cheddar scones to finest their chili --so many daily special soups! And great variety of UK goods in store! Perfect weeknight evening stop to take home. GO NOW- you're welcome, and Enjoy!! read more

Ive had the key lime pie and banaoffee pie and they were both amazing. The personnel are friendly and I like that they leave instructions telling you how to store/defrost the pies. read more

I've been here on 3 separate occasions and I've managed to try 4 different pies - the steak, ale, and mushroom pie, the chocolate mousse pie, the coconut cream pie, and the banoffee pie. To start off, the steak, ale, and mushroom pie is not my favorite. The buttery and flaky puff pastry top crust is the best part, but the filling falls flat. It could use some more seasoning or spices, so unless you want to add your own or enjoy bland food, avoid this one. The Pie Store offers so many other more appealing savory pies. The chocolate mousse pie is pretty good. Same with the coconut custard pie. I'd suggest getting a smaller size, as they can get pretty heavy after a while. The banoffee pie is hands down my favorite. Banoffee is kind of hard to find in these parts, but the Pie Store makes the most amazing version, complete with a flaky, crumbly biscuit crust, entire slices of bananas, caramel toffee filling, light whipped cream, and chocolate shavings on top. They only sell is on the weekends in limited quantities, though, so be sure to call ahead and request in advance​. In summary, the Pie Store brings a unique British flair to Montclair, with various novelty British items sold on various shelves in the front of the store and British pies. Parking is limited with only 4 or 5 spaces that are shared with other businesses in the front, so be wary. Additionally, only large pies come with double crusts. Smaller sizes only have a top layer crust. I'll be back to try other pies, both savory and sweet, in the future. read more

The Pie Store - Medium banoffee pie - Bakeries Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

As a visitor from Calif. I experienced the pie store today. Lamb/ feta in a nice pastry dough, chicken pot pie , sausage roll and a small apple pie made for a great lunch on a snowy day. Bravo! read more

One of the really cool things about NJ is not just that we are so close to Manhattan, but that we have these little cultural gems hidden throughout all of the state. One of these gems is The Pie Store in Montclair. The Pie Store carries all sorts of delicious pies (both savory and sweet pies) made fresh. Some of my favorites include the steak & ale pie, which comes with big chunks of beef and potatoes baked under a delicious flaky crust, and the cornish pasty, which is a classic stuffed pastry filled with veggies and meat. The special part of all the pies that come from this location is the crust, which is buttery, flavorful, and has a classic texture. The soups are wonderful too - the gazpacho being my personal favorite. Another plus of this store is the grocery section, filled with candies, condiments, sides, and all other types of non-perishable UK goodies. Cadbury chocolates, wine gums, branston pickle spread, marmite, and even the hard-to-find vegemite (as of the last time I visited) are available for purchase. This place is well worth a visit if you like pastries, pies, and desserts. read more

Super great pies, British candy and other British treats! The long queue outside is a testament to how wonderful this place is. The fact that they offered ice cold water bottles to all the customers waiting was a super sweet and kind gesture! Thank you! Can't wait to get inside! :) read more

I absolutely LOVE this bakery. Key Lime Pie is my favorite. Very nice staff. Exceptional A+ customer service. I have referred several of my friends and they are now loyal customers. read more

This place is amazing.. A little expensive but what you get is homestyle sweet and savory pies.. My only issue with them is we got a thanksgiving leftover pie last year and it had giant chunks of chicken in it.. we found ourselves having to dissect the whole thing and it became a giant mess.. All they needed to do was take some time instead of being lazy when making.. I understand we may have caught them on a off day since everything else we got was always good but something like that has put doubt in our heads when we are deciding where to eat on a given night. Will try again but since they are rather expensive we wont accept them putting no effort in. read more

We had a large apple pie for a gathering. All our gusts enjoyed the pie. The crust is so delicious and the apple pieces were still crisp in the middle not like others with soggy apple laying in a goo. We had some savory ones last week and BBQ pork was especially good. I will keep going back until at least we try every single one of their baked goods. read more

Omg they're amazing! Such kind, sweet people and absolutely delicious pies, savory or sweet. They were so kind to throw in a pie fresh out of the oven, and it was amazing just like they said! We tried the apple-cranberry-blackberry pie, the one with chicken coconut curry, and the Cornish pasty. All delicious. I also very much appreciate the covid precautions they are taking. Only 1 person/party in at a time and everyone wears a mask. You guys are fantastic, we sure will be back soon! Thank you! read more

I have been going to the British Pie Store since they were on Bloomfield Ave. Most of the sweet and savory pies are delicious--the steak and cheddar, lamb and feta, key lime and bannoffee, etc. Some of the savory pies have large chunks of dry meat. The British woman who I've seen and interacted has always been kind, pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, I am giving them 3 stars instead of 5 because the counter staff has been repeatedly rude and unpleasant with really poor basic customer service skills. My friends and I have all had negative interactions with the help at the counter. The very nature of going to a pie store should be a pleasant experience! read more

My family and I stubbled upon the pie store by accident. Despite the fact that everything we have tried is delicious; we will not be returning. I just left the establishment and behind the counter was a gentleman with his mask around his chin, grabbing scones without gloves or paper. He then proceeded walk to two of the employees who were working, lean over them an discuss basketball. He then decided it was time to "sit down and eat his breakfast" right behind the counter. Completely disgusted with these actions and will not be returning. read more

Wow! Like nothing I have ever tasted! Without a doubt the best tasting pies both sweet and savory! The lamb/feta was amazing! Soccer pies!!!! And the biggest surprise a key lime pie that will blow your mind! read more

This place is awesome. The deserts are always on point and their savory pies are great for lunch or dinner. This morning we picked up a key lime pie and couldnt help but grab two scones, one cheddar and the other chocolate chip. The cheddar scone tasted like a light cheeze it. Every time we go in the employees are very friendly. We recommend to anyone willing to listen. read more

Hands down the best pie around. Found this gem on a business trip and made two purchases. The Large Apple pie was phenomenal, the crust was perfect. The Lemon scone was delightful, sweet and definitely a winner if you like the taste of lemon. The store itself is small but the staff is very friendly and helpful. I wish that there was a location in MA.. NJ won here :) read more

Have been there a few times because I love shepherds pie and the one they make here is great.......but I can never leave with just that due to the fact that every thing looks great and pretty much is.....loved the apple pie and the Portuguese tarts....am going to try more due to all the posts here...... read more

Mini Key Lime pies with crust!!! I'm secretly not wanting to go home this year for Thanksgiving so I can swoop by here and pick up a Turkey Stuffing Pie to go along with my canned cranberry sauce and bottle of sparkling cider. I took a menu home and am pretty much drooling all over it plotting my next pie feast and return. read more

Five stars because the staff is seriously *amazing*. Will work with you to accomodate almost any order. Hankering for a Brit-delight? They don't carry it? Don't worry...inquire as to its whereabouts, they will track it down, *or* if you want something in bulk...they will place an order with the manufacturer... seriously. It might take a few months to arrive (or never, depending upon manufacturer/distributor restrictions..)... but they have delivered CASES of British soda before, amazingly enough. Pies - savory or sweet - are indulgent and delicious...and as corny as it sounds, I feel like it's because they are made with a little love. Really. Made from scratch pies that are fresh and constantly changing takes a hell of a lot of effort from the approximate 5 or so employees I see working here. For Easter, they had orders out the whazoo.....the Thursday before Easter, I needed a pie for the fam..., obviously the traditional Italian Ricotta-pie is out of the question, so I went with the intent to for a fruit pie, and to trick the majority of my family who thinks I can actually bake (ha, yeah right.) Blackberry pie? CHECK. Best damn pie I have ever had...in my life. For reals. One of the best, easily. I sure as hell wasn't fooling anyone. SO fresh. So delicious. Damn straight. read more

The apple raspberry pie and apple pie filling was very soggy and flavorless and disappointing. The pie crusts are very good and key lime excellent. Would give it a try again as the place smelled wonderful and the soups and pastries looked yummy! read more

A throwback to my trips to England and eating at some of my favorite pie shops, this place is a piece of London in Montclair. With a variety of delicious choices and and sizes you easily want to get one of everything and hide in a corner and not be bothered. The steak & ale pie was out of this world. I took it home and toasted it for a couple of minutes and when you open it you just want to yell "God save the queen!" It's that yummy! But wait there's more... Let's take a moment and talk about the scone. Typically a scone is a hit or a miss. Can be very dry and hard to the point where you can use it as a weapon. Not at The Pie Store. At The Pie Store the cheddar scone is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's very cheddary (not a word, but it's the best to describe the amount of cheddar in this scone) and the best part is that it taste like crispy cheddar like the corners of a grilled cheese sandwich done right where the cheese came out and it is oh so very crispy and delicious. It took all of my being not to back and take the rest of the cheddar scones. Pie Shop - I will be back and enjoy everything you are selling. Thank you for bringing England to Montclair. read more

Not as special as we were hoping for Father's Day. The mousse pie is a bit too rich and the apple pie a bit bland. While I did not try it I was told by my father that the key lime pie was just right. So perhaps that's the Goldilocks of this place. read more

Excellent spot. 1) This place has tons of British-Indian pies: chicken tikka pie (small & very expensive at 16 USD) and chicken madras pie (large and very adorable at 8 bucks). 2) They have a large selection of British chocolates: Crunchie (excellent honeycomb toffee bar), Cadbury Flake (ok), Nestle Toffee Crisp (good), Smarties (good, but I like M&M better). 3) They also have soft drinks from the British Isles: Club Rock Shandy (excellent Irish soda), Irn Bru (Scotland's national drink after whiskey), and Tizer (British soda). 4) Next time I will get the Banoffee pie and Key Lime pie. read more

"First rule of Pie Store is: You do not talk about Pie Store." (That's my theory on the lack of reviews so far.) The food IS good enough to inspire a zealous cult. The Steak and Mushroom Pie w Brown Ale brought me to rapture. All the pies I've tried here are excellent. The dessert pies are gently tart rather than sickly sweet - a perfect way to follow the savory meat pies. Also, The Pie Store is well-stocked with British provisions. I like to get a pack of Maynard's Wine Gums on each visit. read more
