Baked From The Hart

Totally giving this restaurant, pie establishment a ZERO THUMBS DOWN! My daughter and I arrived and were not even greeted until we asked the gentleman at the counter who was more focused on the young woman he was talking to, than any customers. He started off saying there was no place to sit unless we went out and around, he then told us he wasn't serving us because the person who was supposed to come in to cook had not come in to work. He didn't offer to serve us a coffee or even water and more so, he never even asked if we wanted a slice of pie or cobbler as they were displayed in separate cooling units in the display case in the wall. We wondered, how long had the single servings of desserts being displayed, been in the cooling units already. I was appalled that our party of 8 could not at least have tasted something already prepared but instead we decided on taking our business elsewhere. Whomever hired the ignorant goofball to sit and represent their business needs to really check himself! He was not the person you leave to represent your business . He could care less about pies or anything in that establishment. I was embarrassed as I had several out of town *foodies* with me and we were all really looking forward to enjoying your restaurant's menu of pies and other lunch time delights. Eating at a black owned business was #1 on our bucket list to attend and unfortunately, I don't think any of us will ever visit your eatery again. We were all planning to take multiple desserts home with us and it didn't seem to cross his mind what we wanted or needed at all. So on hospitality alone you ranked a Fat ZERO! To me, how I'm treated and acknowledged is my #1 critique and that decides for me, whether or not they will ever see my face or one damn dime of my money, EVER!!

Cute little pie shop. It's nice bright and clean. Service was excellent. I got a small peach cobbler. I enjoyed the peach cobbler but it was more like peach pie. I would have liked mine to a bit wetter. The crust was buttery and flakey. I will definitely be back to sample the other pies. Great selection.

Baked from the Hart makes some really good pies. I heard about them a couple years ago but only just popped by looking for some sweet potato pie. I placed my order online and while it was a little arbitrary when I could pick up the pies, a quick phone call cleared everything up. I visited and picked up my order of a medium sweet potato pie as well as sweet bean, tropical chess, pumpkin pie, peach cobbler, and apple pie tarts. All of the pies were delicious. The crusts were rich and buttery, and some were nice and crispy. The sweet potato pie was the right amount of sweetness and the spices were not overpowering. The tropical chess had an intriguing mix of coconut, lemon, and lime flavors which did evoke a tropical vibe. My favorite overall though was the sweet bean pie. I have never had a bean pie, but I've gotta say I wish more people sold these things because it was sweet and had a wonderful blend of spices - evoked fall flavors. One thing to note is that the pies come in three sizes: regular, medium, and tart. The medium size is maybe 5 inches in diameter and the tarts are the size of the plastic ramekins that you see ketchup and tartar sauce in. The sizes may seem small for the price but the flavor is worth it. I personally think $5 to $7.50 is a fair price in Seattle when you see cake slices from higher-end places going for about $5-7 as well. One last thing to note is that the person I talked to, Guyana (apologies if I got her name wrong), is extremely friendly and personable. She made me feel very welcome. I recommend paying a visit sometime.

The giant slice of pie painted on the window caught our attention from the road, and we had to check it out. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was excellent. Order the sweet potato tart, it was absolutely delicious.

Bill Hart can be a surly SOB, but I love him for it. He makes the best pies, cheesecake, etc. in Seattle.. by a long shot. Hours are unpredictable, and customer service/experience is questionable at best, but this is the spot if you want the best. Long lines, slow service, closed when they say they’re open, staff annoyed by customers… it’s like a Sienfeld sketch. AND I’M HERE FOR IT. The pies are THAT good.

Holy moly, the cornbread is perfect. The pies are worth every penny. The tropical juice blend is my favorite ever. A true gem of a spot, nowhere else like it

Small pie shop inside owner’s home. Many flavors to choose from. The small size is a tart that fits into a 1 oz to-go sauce cup (about 1.5-2 inches and smaller than palm size) and the medium is about 3.5-4 inches. Pricey for what you get; $3 for the tart and $8.50 for the medium. We were looking very forward to trying these pies but unfortunately, we had an odd “turned off” experience picking up our order, were given frozen tarts without any mention, and the unfrozen ones were so-so. It’s a great concept and still worth a try if you’re really into pies.

After my very first bite of the Honey Sweet Potato Cornbread I turned towards my husband and said, "This pie guy has gotta have a fat wife" No insult intended, I just know that The Pie Guy is going to make this wife full fat and happy. Good thing I cut it in half first... I plan to eat my feelings about the corn bread tonight, in the form of the most delicious Cheese Cake.

The pies here are delicious! At first I was thrown off by the refrigeration of all the pies versus being displayed in a pastry case. I was also confused as to why they didn't accept pre-orders and to just come in and pick the pies you want. As I learned, they have a great system for storing their pies and serving them fresh. They do have a stockpile of pies (mini tarts, medium & whole) and cheesecakes, which are either frozen or refrigerated. I chose 5 different pies: Sweet Potato, Pecan, Key Lime Chess, Peach & Apple for an office gathering - $35 each. The pies are extremely fresh and crusts tender. My favorites were the Key Lime Chess pie and Sweet Potato. Officemates enjoyed the Peach, as that was the first to get polished off. I found the bottom of the crust a little underdone for my liking. Mr. Hart's daughter helped me with my order, choosing the pies and the kind transfer to my car. It's a cute shop that serves amazing pies! Can't wait to come back to try the cheesecakes!

I was driving by when my husband said "Pie". Just about caused a traffic accident. I whipped my truck around and came on in. Mr. Hart wasn't there, but his delightful daughter was there. I'm not a huge pie fan but I love me some chess pie. If you're from the south and you went to church down there, then ate at the luncheon after, you know there's some chess pie making an appearance somewhere. And here it is, up in the rain. Mr. Hart's daughter is lovely and kind. She gave suggestions and as soon as you walk in, you can literally smell the pie. It's like walking into a cobbler. I got the tropical chess pie which is a mix of the coconut, key lime, and lemon. Whooo! That's for the sweet tooth. My husband got the blackberry pie and he's the picky eater. He said you can actually taste the blackberries and he'd come back here to buy more pie. We also got some espresso drinks which lent well to the sweetness of the pie. You'll see in reviews that the pies are pricey. Well, yes. But these aren't your typical grocery store pies. These pies are bakery style pies. And if my sister can spent $70 bucks on a piece of log looking cake then I can spend $8.50 on a piece of delicious that will give me happy thoughts for the rest of the afternoon.

This is the best Dessert/Pie in the Seattle Area. If you feel like a apple, blackberry, peach cobbler, tart, cheesecake they have it all. Full transparency.....I'm related to the owner. I'm not letting that influence my review. Just go try it out and you'll see......it's really good!

I am all for small boutique shops but this was not impressive first of all the quality was not all that, Secondly stuff is wayyyy Overpriced. And what's up with the owner man? The dude doesn't smile at all. I felt guilty to have walked in (reminiscent of that Seinfeld soupnazi episode)

Super friendly service from the woman at the counter. Unfortunately everything in the store is absurdly overpriced. I paid $7.50 for a cup of coffee, not including a tip. This was an Americano. Normal size pies are $35 and there was a Keylime cheesecake looking thing for $105. Honestly, I didn't have any pie so I can't comment on how good it is but that seems incredibly expensive. For that price, it would have to be absolutely amazing.

Tonight, my wife and I walked into "Baked from the Hart", not knowing what to expect. We've always seen it in the neighborhood but have never been. It is safe to say, we were blown away. What a cute little spot. Also, we were joyfully met by Chef Bill Hart himself. He was funny, charming and helped us to find both a great pie and cheesecake for our dessert. We landed on the Banana Pudding Cheesecake (OMG, maybe the best cheesecake I've ever eaten), and the MarionBerry Pie (literal perfection). The crust, the filling, the size, the overall texture and flavor where incredible. To the Pie Guy himself, thank you for being kind, helping us find exactly what we would like and most importantly for one of the best desserts we've ever had. You just got two more, very loyal "regulars"! Best decision we've made in awhile was to try this spot out! 100% recommend to anyone wanting fresh baked, incredible quality pie and cheesecake! Ps sorry for the picture after our first couple bites haha!

I rarely give any reviews in one visit but the pie i had was good enough to warrant an deviation from norm. I may change review as I try it out a lil more. I love a good pecan pie and all my old pie places in seattle dont serve them all that well anymore. This place gave me such a great pecan pie...good flaky pastry and great pecan filling.. If gun to my head i had to change a little i would maybe toast the pecans a lil more if they werent done to get the flavor a little more. Else I loved this and I hope the chef doesnt stop it. The place is little far off for eastside and north seattle folks but hey what would u not do for a good pecan pie....:)

Great selections of pie! They also offer mini pies for you to try the different flavors before committing to one large pie. They also had a unique sweet bean flavor which was delicious!

The pies are expensive, but so addictively good. I was skeptical - and pie isn't even my favorite kind of dessert. However, the pies here definitely blew me away. I ordered the smallest sizes, which were a bit comically miniature for the price. I'd only spring for the small sizes if you wanted to get a sample of the place. The larger ones, I will definitely keep in mind if I have a special occasion or friend's celebration that calls for the best pie I can think of in the city. Had the Pumpkin Pie, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Bean Surpreme, and Tropical Chess Pie. I'd whole-heartedly recommend any of them, especially the Bean and Tropical Chess. Probably the only Bean pie I've tasted that was wonderful.

Rich, buttery crusts with delicious flavors. My fave so far is the Tropical pie because it has a tangy element and tastes less sweet. But the Sweet Bean is really good too! The "Medium" size is perfect for two to share. I LOVE desserts, but I can't eat a whole medium in one sitting.

I liked the freshness of the pound cake and the flavor of the sweet potato pie. Parking was a little different due to narrow streets and construction going on next door. Service was excellent

This place is great. Some of the best pies in Seattle baked by pie legend Bill Hart! The sweet potato and bean supreme are definitely standouts. In a town overrun by bland pumpkin pies, Baked From The Hart is a welcomed oasis in a flavorless desert. Also, don't listen to the "iTs tOo eXpEnsIve?!". You're paying for a lifetime dedicated to baking amazing pie. Don't be stingy and rude.

I enjoy taste testing different flavors so I created a sampler of 5 different tarts. The pie crust is light and flakey. A well made crust is essential to great pies, and this really hit the mark. Sweet Potato pie - Absolutely delicious! This is by far my favorite. It has full-mouth flavor and is great for savoring! Pecan pie - Surprisingly delicious! Many pecan pies are usually too sweet, tacky and sticky for me. This was not too sweet and it didn't get stuck to my teeth. The pecans are well seasoned and the base is gelatinous. The crust was cooked a little more than the other pies. Sweet Bean Supreme pie - Mild flavor though seasoned well. This is definitely the best pick if you don't have a big sweet tooth. This one had a little thicker crust and I wished it had more filling, but maybe it was an anomaly. Coconut Chess pie - Very sweet and drier than the others. There are sugary coconut flakes on top and a sugary thick base beneath it. My partner tasted a hint of lemon. I have more of a preference for light and fluffy coconut creme, so this style just wasn't my cup of tea. Key Lime Chess pie - Dense and gelatinous, more sweet than tart, ocre colored. This was good, but I prefer a lighter style of key lime personally. I walked in to order takeout. The business is very cozy. There was a customer behind us so we didn't stay long, but I was pleased with the thoughtful presentation of the place, including the interior design, the display case, and the menu. The menu includes different sizes and flavors of pies, cakes, and drinks. Mr. Hart is cordial and a good communicator. The tarts are pricey ($3) for the portion, but I understand businesses are taking a hit during COVID and I've seen prices generally keep rising in the food industry. In comparison elsewhere you'd pay $2.50 for smaller sized macaron or even a chocolate chip cookie. The small size allows you to taste test and find out what you like. I will go back to try the other flavors and buy the better value medium-sized pies of my favorite flavors. I've read negative reviews about the pies being frozen. Unprompted, Mr. Hart recommended warming up the pie in the microwave for 10 seconds. They are easy to pop out of their foil cups without breaking. My microwave heating ranged from 10-20 seconds depending on the pie and they were definitely better warmed up.

went here with my coworker after an event near by, not expecting much esp bc I'm not necessarily a fan of pies but... these pies are SO good TT. Even got my dad to try some too and hes very critical but hes a fan he keeps asking me to come back for more! Mr. Hart was very kind and gave us free pumpkin tarts with our orders :) It was probably for a promotion but still! The place itself is also very cozy and feels like you're home. will definitely be coming back here time and time again ! Also! Try out the banana pudding as well!!

Nice experience to enjoy pies straight from the maker who specializes on what he knows best. Pricey for the small pies, but they are rich and tasty. Enjoyed the chocolate and pecan pies. Worth stopping by once in a while, but not a weekly indulgence kind of place.

Ate Too Fast To Capture A Pic!! I wish I had a photo! This pecan pie is AMAZING. My hubby and I went by to get a tart just to try. That was not enough. Don't tease yourself! Buy the whole pie it is worth it!! It didn't last 48 hours, hence the lack of a photo. The service is great too. Such a gentle man with a calming spirit. It is no wonder the pies are Baked from the Hart! Get your treats today before they sell out. Mmmmmmmm

Charming little Shop owned and run by the baker himself who hails from Texas. Wish I could give a better review but at these prices ($35/pie, or $12 for 2 servings) I'd hope these pies were out of this world. The pecan pie wasn't any better than your home-brew Karo syrup kind (though the crust was decent). The search for good pecan pie continues.... The peach cobbler fired better but still wasn't a standout.

While the pies certainly aren't bad, I had a key lime chess pie and a medium peach cobbler, they certainly aren't outstanding enough to go warrant the $8.50 price tag. The key lime pie had great flavor but was overly dense in my opinion. The peach cobbler was undercooked and still a little raw. Overall, overpriced and mediocre. Would not recommend.

Mr. Hart knows how to bake a good pie. It's kind of shocking how many newer, fancy pie places seem to get the branding right but can't pull off a pie crust. If you're a fan of custard, definitely try the bean pie. I liked the buttermilk chess pie but found the bean pie just the right level of sweetness for my tastes. I'll definitely be back to try different pies!

A friend recommended we come here, so we did. This bake shop is located in a house and when inside, you'll feel like you're sitting in someone's living room, enjoying afternoon dessert with friends. Since we couldn't make up our minds, and since they offered mini-sized tarts, we decided to get an array and try as many as possible. They specialize in bean pie here. In fact, there's a newspaper article hanging in the "kitchen" area which tells you the story of how Mr Hart started this bake shop. If you're lucky, Mr Hart might just be around and spend a little time chatting to you. One of my friends got into a conversation with him and the next thing I knew, she had ordered some apple crumble that was just coming out of the oven.... A la mode, might I add. The desserts are great. Even *I*, the non dessert love, ended up liking them. Definitely worth a visit if you can get there.

Very good quality! And good customer service! All of my friends loved the pies I brought for Thanksgiving

Today we purchased Sweet Bean Pie and we extremely pleased We also bought Honey Buttermilk Cornbread which we heated and inhaled with our dinner. Best cornbread ever purchased, really delicious. So glad we listened and bought some before we left the store! Highly recommend this shop.

Amazing baked goods! I went in to purchase some sweets for my office. I ended up leaving with five extra pies for myself. You walk in to an amazing smell and I am assuming the owner baking. Love the product and bonus it is POC owned business. The owner even ran after us after we left to give us complimentary mini pies! So kind! Go! Run! Support!

You don't have to commit to just one pie, they have mini tarts and pies of all sizes! We got a little bit of everything. The cornbread was so good.

SUCH a treat! The owner Chef Hart was so kind to explain all his pie types and offer recommendations. I had never had sweet bean pie before and it was excellent. It's so silky and smooth and perfectly sweet. We also got the sweet potato pie and the tropical chess pie which was lemon-coconuty. I loved all of them but the sweet bean supreme one the best. The crust on all of them was so flaky and perfect. My only regret was not getting the bigger size!! But it's great that he offers 3 sizes so that you can really sample more if it is your first time in. I'll be back soon!

I was looking for a great pie place in South Seattle to order some Thanksgiving pie and found this place - and I'm glad I did. I met with Bill (the owner) who is extremely accommodating and friendly. His place is really close to the Mount Baker light rail station at a kiddie corner. It is warm, inviting, and smells great. This is a place where you can get coffee and a small piece of delicious pie while either studying or waiting for your train. I pre-ordered the blackberry cobbler for Thanksgiving, paid and had no problems picking it up on our arranged date. When I went to pick it up, Bill and his family were pretty busy to say the least! I overhead that they had at least 61 orders of pumpkin pie to finish! Make sure to pre-order your pie if you're thinking of getting anything for Christmas and to pick it up at least 5 days in advance to beat the crowds. You can freeze your pie and reheat it when you're ready to serve it in the oven. I did exactly that (set oven at 350F and had it sit there for about 20ish minutes) and the pie still tasted amazing. I brought it to work and it was a hit! The blackberry gooeyness wasn't at all too sweet and the crust was made just right -flaky and buttery. I definitely would order pie for Bill again, great local business that I'm glad to support.

True to the title-we felt privileged to meet Bill Hart himself manning the shop on his own on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I freely sampled the original pie that got him into the business 20yrs ago, the sweet bean supreme (!), and we were excited to take one home. My girlfriend got the espresso which she says was really good and the key lime pie. The multiple attached rooms are done up nicely for small groups and single patrons who just want to relax to read a book or study. An absolute highlight of beacon hill and a must-try & keep returning back for me. They also cater. Mr. Hart is the most genuine, hard-working, and earnest guy I've met in years-I enjoyed the chat and thank you for the hospitality Bill.

I got some sweet potato pie, lemon chess pie, and bean pie from Baked From The Hart in Columbia City right by The Original Phillys. So delicious! It took me a couple days to digest the cheese steak and move on to the pies, but they do well in the fridge, and the pies don't disappoint. I had never tried a bean pie before this, but it was good and I'm not even a big fan of beans. It's smooth, not like a can of baked beans or anything. It's well spiced and I think their signature pie. Worth trying! The owner Bill was so nice. There are so many flavors to choose from. Sure, a little on the pricy side, but that kept me from expanding my waistline too much ("only" 3 pies, haha!) Go support a black-owned business and enjoy some pie!

Delicious pies! I ordered two to take to a friends house, and oh wow! Crust was perfect, filling was perfect, everything was amazing. I fully recommend this business.

One of my favorites. I visit every two weeks. We especially like the key lime and sweet potato pies.

Baked From The Hart's Buttermilk Pie is delicious! For a medium pie it cost about $8.50. Which is a little pricey. But if you are craving for something like a pie it's worth it. When entering Baked From The Hart is feels like your home. The warmth and the sweet smell of something baking is very comforting. So that I love. Good customer service overall.

The blackberry cobbler I had was delicious. It's easy to miss the shop, but it's definitely worth a stop by for pie.

Walked in and was kindly greeted by warm, delicious scents and by a friendly lady baking a cake. I ordered the tropical buttermilk pie. I sat by the window and basked in the cozy, homey environment. This place has great vibes. The pie was very delicious! I couldn't have been happier. This place is a hidden gem.

Delicious pie! I had a peach cobbler and pound cake. It was divine. The bakery is so cozy, I wish I found this place before COVID. I would have loved to read books and spend my weekend mornings here.

Oh my sweet god-this peach cobbler!!! Looking forward to trying all the other items on the menu

The pies were clearly fresh. I got an apple cobbler and a sweet potato medium pie. The crust was delicious and honestly the best part for me, but I'm also biased. I prefer crusts over the center. Speaking of the center, it was too sweet for me. I have a pretty bland taste bud, just for reference. I had to eat the pies, split through out three days. The crust stayed crispy even on the third day!! I appreciate that a lot!

Plan. Ahead. Order. Ahead. Pay. Ahead. Plan to wait. There's a whole laundry list of what you should do before coming here. Also... the sizing of their pies is absolutely the most inconsistent you'll find. The medium size is about the width of a large mason jar. Don't come expecting the sizing to reflect the order. Also, if you call over the phone and someone says "Yes I have your order written down!" The don't. Pay online or even better, plan ahead and get them sooner before any holiday or celebration. The team does their best but it's apparent they are growing as a brand and have some opportunities to expand their customer service support. Thanksgiving was a lot to watch just one team member handle the lines alone and bake pies! Be patient. Thanks for the magic you added to our holidays and I'll remember to order the large of ever size next time!

So good! Love that they have traditional sized pies as well as personal. A pie for everybody and every occasion. Definitely check this place out if you've got a hankering for some sweetness.

We'd seen the signs and finally stopped. Great pies, wonderful atmosphere - cozy and stimulating. Can't wait to hang out there when COVID is a memory

As close as I can get to my mothers souther cooked Pie's. She love his pies and so do I.

An amazing variety of the most extraordinary pies, pound cake and other deserts in the area. They are expanding into savoury offerings as well including quiche, chicken pot pies, and more. It's a must taste experience hands down!

We tried the medium sized sweet potato, sweet bean, and peach pies. The sweet potato pie was my favorite. Mr. Hart has wonderful service and some seriously amazing pies!

Chef Bill Hart's claim to fame is the Sweet Bean Supreme, but his Chess Pie and Pecan Pie are also good. We hope to try the others next time.

This was the best pumpkin pie I have ever had. They were super busy and the pie was clearly made fresh, like, "please come back in 45 min so we can make your pie" kind of fresh. It was annoying that it wasn't ready, but also it was Thanksgiving day and it was clear everyone was there getting their freshly made pie at the exact same time. All was forgiven though, after tasting the pie. It was so tempting and so fresh, it might have been eaten before dinner! Worth every penny, and every second of waiting. Can't wait to come back for more pies!

Picked up some mini pies, turnovers, and banana pudding: pecan, sweet bean, tropical, key lime, apple, peach, and blackberry. The banana pudding was made to order. It was creamy and fresh. All the pies and turnovers have good crusts. Perfect amount of sweetness. My favorite is the pecan pie. Definitely will be back to pick up more.

This place is amazing! The owner was gracious enough to accept a last minute order from my team and made 600... yes 600 pies! AND they were incredible! Highly recommend this gem :)

Been here a couple times but not going back. I have had it with ridiculously priced products in Seattle and am not supporting these businesses any longer. Yes, the pies are good but the prices are outrageous. Last week we bought a pecan pie for our niece's birthday. It was $35. it had a very thin layer of finely chopped pecans on top and the rest was all filling. Today we bought a few "medium" size pies for $7.50 each and they were tiny. See pics.

Delicious pie and fun to get the small size in different flavors to try them all. We ordered several online and had a smooth process at pickup.

Awesome place! Tried 3 small pies: Sweet Bean Supreme, Apple Cobbler, and Buttermilk Chess. All of the pies were amazing. The sweet bean was mildly sweet and the spices were well-balanced. The apple cobbler was a perfect mix of sweet and tart, and the buttermilk chess was a decadent custard pie. I also appreciate the 3 different sizes: Full, personal, and tart (mini). Going with the personal or mini sizes you can try more than one!

This place is amazing. Got a peach cobbler and a sweet potato pie yesterday and both were fantastic. I recommend highly and will definitely be back.
