"When pie season hits, my first move is to visit this family-operated Historic South Central stalwart that’s been open since 1956, founded by Harry and Sadie Patterson, with a menu that hasn’t changed much since the early days. They do far more than pie — think coconut pineapple cake, 7up cake, banana pudding, and Southern classic tea cakes — but the lines are for the pecan pies, peach cobbler, and the extraordinary sweet potato pie. If a whole pie feels like too much, there are mini pies for quick consumption, and you can even pick one up at a Vallarta Supermarkets outpost, where they’re a supplier; during the holidays, this historic bakery gets busy, so start planning." - Eater Staff
"Open since 1956, the original 27th Street Bakery on Central Avenue has become a household name thanks to its sweet potato pies. To make each personal pan pie, they fly in sweet potatoes from Louisiana and use a secret family recipe that’s been passed down over three generations. While most people come here to try these rich desserts, 27th Street Bakery also makes a bunch of other things like red velvet cake, peach cobbler, and mini pecan pies by the dozen. If you want to skip the line, order ahead through their . photo credit: Andrea D'agosto" - Nikko Duren
"This South LA legend has been thriving since 1956. It’s a third-generation operated bakery run by Jeanette Bolden-Pickens, who, in addition to baking, is a former Olympian. With miniature or full-sized pecan, pumpkin, and sweet potato pies, the hardest part is figuring out which one to take home. Always order in advance before they sell out." - Mona Holmes
