Super cheery counter staff, pretty good fresh squeezed lemonade, and beautiful crusts on the pies, from the slightly denser and flaky crust over big chunks of chicken, carrots and potato (oh if they only added peas!) on the chicken pie to the crumbly and delightfully sandy dark crust on their sharp key lime pie, all cut with just the right amount of butter. Good sour cream coffee cake too. Thu Jul 01 02:31:24 -0700 2004 0 Limster 1 796025 There was an article on her in the Globe's food section. With instructions for pie crust preparation. Thu Jul 01 08:19:05 -0700 2004 796023 0 Joanie 1 796030 Newspaper article intimated that pies could be customized - so you can have your peas.

My 80 year old father-in-law was also very impressed by the key lime pie that we bought him for Father's Day. The owner, Renee, is tickled by all the Chowhound attention -- be sure to mention it when you stop by, if she's out front.

Thu Jul 01 12:10:23 -0700 2004 796052 0 GretchenS 1 796057 I haven't tried the pies yet but they look (and smell) amazing. True that the owner is an absolute delight. And I really, REALLY like that the scones and muffins are an appropriate size - not these huge 800-calorie monstrosities with no flavor.

Some Australians were looking for this and so she just went on google.au & now it's a staple. The sweet pies are also delectable, but it's a bit hard to eat two pies in the same day Thu Jul 01 20:51:58 -0700 2004 796023 0 kkg 2 799111 Renee McLeod is one of this world's truly wonderful individuals. Somerville is extremely lucky to have such an amazing person sharing her culinary delights. Rock on Renee!!!! Fri Sep 24 13:14:03 -0700 2004 796107 0 Jeff DiMeo
