Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in the SF Bay Area (including Berkeley, Oakland, Napa, Sonoma, Marin, and San Jose)
Start New ThreadDoes any one know a good spot? I tried a piece at the Palo Alto creamery and it was too sweet and not tart. I want a nice tart piece of pie. Last time I had one I liked it was in Monterey at the fish wife.

Bette's To Go does a good one. Call in advance, though, because they don't always have it on hand.

If you are willing to venture to Cafe Gratitude I have heard their take on key lime pie is good. I haven't made it over to try their "I AM AWAKENING KEY LIME PIE" but if you are up for trying new things it might be worth checking out.

I was at the Berkeley Fat Apples yesterday and they had one. I didn't have it, though, so I can't vouch for the tartness.

Coconuts has a nice key lime tart that I remember thinking might even pass muster with my Floridian relatives. It's the best I've had in the Bay area, though that's a low bar to judge by.

Thanks for the tips. I have been to coconuts three times, but never tried the desserts except for something odd - maybe it was pumpkin pudding. And Fatapples has my favorite cupcakes, so maybe I will give both places a try.

Just had a nice tangy slice at Sam's Chowder House in Half Moon Bay. The crust was a bit thick/sweet, but the filling was tasty.
