There's a new pie in town.
Make way!
These pies have a mission,
a cause.
And they're not just any pies.
More like home-made than store bought.
Some are funky,
some are fabulous.
So far, all I've had, have been delicious.
Mission Pies is just off the corner of 25th and Mission Street in The Mission District in SF. There's no fancy sign, no fancy design, and, wonderfully enough, no attitude.
Go in here for a pie on the run, a slice and some coffee, a secret sweet before supper, or get in on a Chinese Checkers game.
What I've enjoyed: apple pie with thick slices of fresh apples, pear and raspberry with crumble top and a thick, creamy, vanilla
bean speckled banana cream pie with fresh whipped cream topping.
They also have some savoury pies, but I haven't eaten these yet.
Check these folks out! And stop by eggbeater again to tell us what you think.
HAPPY FEBRUARY!
Mmmm, sounds great. I'm going to be in SF next weekend and I'm accumulating a pile of places at which I must eat. This just went on the list, Tartine is also on the list. And, sheepishly, the whole reason for the trip is dinner at the French Laundry.

The real question is, do they have durian pies. Mmm... Durian...

I'm a lurker :D I just wanted to say that I had the banana cream pie that someone brought over for a birthday party recently, and it was absolutely delicious!

Choyoyo,
Thank you for de-lurking! Especially for news on the banana cream pie. It's such a good one to de-lurk for. I hope I report on something in the future that you de-lurk for again, you have such a great name.
