What People Are Saying
from Google"A friend suggested this place for good hand pies. She was not kidding. They are absolutely delicious. I only had the sweet pies, but there was a nice variety of savory ones as well. There is a handicap parking spot close to the building off the street."
"Great owners and amazing hand made pies. We ordered 2 sausage rolls and 2 irish mutton the night before (to ensure they had them) and collected just after noon today. They were freshly baked and oh so full of amazing flavors, awesome pastry and fillings. Please support this amazing little start up bakery."
"Phenomenal food! We tried 6 flavors and every one was a winner. Can't wait to come back!"
"What a gem! These pies were fantastic. Everything was freshly prepared and hot! Service was quick and friendly. Potato and cheddar was a favorite. I really enjoyed the blueberry pie as well. I will certainly be back! One of the best stops in Ithaca."
"I bought 4 to take back to NH when visiting over the holidays. I just had the portobello mushroom, uzbek mutton, and west african hand pies and I’m incredibly disappointed in myself that I didn’t get more"
