Grand Opening

17 Sweet Pies in San Francisco and the East Bay

"Pastry chef Melissa Chou helped Mister Jiu’s earn its first Michelin star, but these days, she’s gone from plating beautiful desserts at the end of a meal to throwing open her own bakery window. Grand Opening is a regular weekly pop-up at Mister Jiu’s in Chinatown, where the star menu item is the burnt honey pie, with wild honey in the custard, beeswax cream swishes on top, and a sprinkle of fennel pollen. She usually has four different pies on the menu, in addition to cakes and other pastries, which can be ordered whole or mixed-and-matched in a slice box." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
