A Little Neighborhood Gem Worth Finding!…read more
While visiting Oregon, my friend and I decided to make a quick stop at Loretta Jean's Pie Shop, and I'm so glad we did!
First off, this is one of those places where you'll probably need to find parking on a side street and walk a little, but trust me, it's worth it!
The shop is tucked right into a neighborhood, and it has such a cute, cozy feel. It honestly reminded me of someone taking Grandma's old kitchen and turning it into a little diner. There's a counter, a rotating pie display case, and plenty of baked goodies to tempt you, but obviously the pies are the stars of the show!
I decided to try a slice of salted honey pie, while my friend ordered the banana cream pie.
Now, I'd never had salted honey pie before, and WOW! I really enjoyed it! It had such a wonderful flavor that I actually left wanting to try baking one myself.
My friend let me taste her banana cream pie, and the best way I can describe it is like eating a banana cloud! The cream practically melted in my mouth, and it had that lovely banana flavor without being overpowering. It was delicious!
The prices were reasonable, especially considering the portions. These aren't tiny little slices of pie. They're generous, tall slices that actually feel worth what you're paying. They also have sodas and water available if you want something to drink.
The shop was a little crowded when we visited, but honestly, I can understand why! You might have to wait in line or wait for a table, but you can also take your pie to go. There's some outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option.
We stopped in for what was supposed to be a quick snack, and it turned out to be one of those little places I'm really glad we discovered.
Cute atmosphere, delicious pie, generous portions, and reasonable prices. I would absolutely go back again!
If you're in the area and love pie, this little neighborhood gem is worth a stop!
