FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED
On Wednesday, November 27 (starting at 8:00am) and Thursday November 28 (starting at 7:00am), we will have a limited amount of pies, cookies, hand pies, muffins, and scones available in the shop to be sold first come, first served. If you missed the pre-order window or if you're looking to purchase additional pies, you will want to show up early and get in line. It is our experience that a line will form at least an hour before we open so we encourage you to wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. We do not hold any pies over phone, via email, etc.
CARING FOR YOUR PIE
Below are some helpful hints to keeping your Thanksgiving pies fresh for the big day.
Please refer to our Pie Care + Storage page for more information.
If I pre-order pie for Tuesday pick-up, will it still be good for Thursday?
Absolutely! See below for best storing practices.
How long do your pies keep? What's the best way to store them?
We think our pies taste best at room temperature. We recommend you keep them on a cool counter, out of direct heat. If you won't be serving your pies for a day or two, you can also keep them in the refrigerator (in the box is fine). We recommend letting them come up to room temperature before serving.
The Apple Butter Custard, Classic Sweet Potato, and Cranberry Crumble are best stored at room temperature and eaten within 2 days of purchase. However, they can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
The Oatmeal Pecan and Salted Maple are best stored at room temperature and eaten within 3 days of purchase. However, they can also be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Can I freeze my pie?
While we do recommend eating our pies fresh and within a few days of purchasing, many of our pies are suitable for freezing.
For proper freezing, tightly wrap the pie in plastic wrap twice. When you're ready to thaw, unwrap the pie and allow it to thaw completely at room temperature, on a cool counter (typically at least 24 hours). We recommend letting the pie come up to room temperature before serving. See below for heating instructions.
Can my pie be reheated?
As a general rule, Apple Butter Custard,
Classic Sweet Potato, Oatmeal Pecan, and Salted Maple are not recommended for serving warm (they will melt in the oven and won't hold their shape).
To warm the Cranberry Crumble from the fridge or from room temperature, heat the oven to 300º F and warm for 20 minutes, checking the pie by placing your hand over the center to see if it is fully warmed (more time may be required).
To warm your pie straight from the freezer, heat the oven to 350º F and warm for 20 minutes, checking the pie by placing your hand over the center to see if it is fully warmed (more time may be required).
A SEASON OF GIVING
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to gather with family, neighbors, and good food. We reflect on the challenges and successes of the year with gratitude, and share a meaningful meal to celebrate.
Through our Neighborhood Fund, our customers have an opportunity to extend this reach. This idea was born out of our neighbors' generous offers to help pay for others' groceries during the 2020 stay-at-home order. We are now carrying it on to make sure our baked goods and grocery options remain accessible for all.
Funds raised here do a few things: subsidizes our neighborhood and senior discounts, replaces the giving portion of the Pie-it-Forward initiative, and in 2021, fund the start of a community fridge for the West Village and Islandview neighborhoods. Through a partnership with The Detroit Community Fridge, Planted Detroit, and Black Bottom Businesses, LLC, we have been able to use the Neighborhood Fund to purchase a fridge and freezer, as well as pay for professional electrical work for the location. The Neighborhood Fund is also used to subsidize regular food donations to the fridge.

As always, we appreciate your support!
