Places to buy Pies

[El General]

What bakeries are good spot to pick up a couple of pies? Upper Crust? Sweetish Hill? Is there something out there that I am missing?

I would love to find a place like the Flying Saucer in Houston.

The Texan Cafe in Hutto has some good pies as well... I believe they make them daily and when they run out, they don't have any more available for the day.

I have eaten at the Texan Cafe. A bit disappointing as they do not use real whipped cream. Almost all of their pies have whipped topping that sticks to the roof of your mouth! YUK

threadgill's and bluestar both have good pies. I think threadgill's edges out most in town. especially if you want a chocolate icebox, buttermilk or pecan.

I was really disappointed by the buttermilk pie at Threadgills. It was cold and tasted more like a pudding mix than something homemade. However, I enjoyed the buttermilk pie at Hoovers.

pie is a personal pref thing i guess. i felt the opposite. i happen to like my buttermilk pie cold though.

El General,
Galloways' Sandwich Shop on E 12th,while not a pie shop proper will make you an entire Sweet Potato Pie on order.

She'll set you back $6.50 which really lets you know the chicanery some of the other shops are up to with their overpriced goods.

I had the most amazing piece of chocolate pie at the monument cafe in georgetown. I mean I still dream about it. All of their desserts sounded delightful. And our waitress did indicate that you can call in and purchase whole pies.

i hear you, chowinginaustin. my dreams are about the black bottom banana pie they sell. it appears to be a basic banana cream pie but underneath the custard there's a layer of delicious ganache!!!! i wish they had a dessert sampler plate. i guess that's why i like going with a group of people so we can all share the different items.

I'm not much of a fan of Threadgill's desserts, but I do love the chocolate cream pie at Hoover's.
