Crustees

Five-Star Review for Crustees in LA Crustees is hands-down one of the best culinary gems in LA! Every dish here is crafted with care and packed with flavor. The Shepherd’s Pie is nothing short of perfection – hearty, savory, and comforting in every bite. And don’t even get me started on the Key Lime Pie – it tastes so authentic that you’d swear it was flown in straight from Key West! The Chicken Pot Pie is a timeless classic – flaky, rich, and absolutely satisfying. Pairing the Chili with the Jalapeño Cornbread is a stroke of genius – the perfect balance of warmth and spice that leaves you wanting more. And if you’re ordering the Peach Cobbler, do yourself a favor and get two scoops of ice cream – because, why not? The sweetness and buttery crust paired with the cool, creamy ice cream is pure indulgence. Honestly, I recommend you come here and try everything on the menu. Crustees doesn’t just make food – they make comfort. Five stars all the way!

Talk about a perfect dessert experience! I just devoured a peach cobbler pie and it was absolutely divine. The crust was perfectly flaky, and the middle was incredibly moist—plus, it was served warm, which was the cherry on top. The customer service was just as great. I was quickly greeted by a friendly man who clarified my order with some helpful follow-up questions. And to top it all off, there was some fantastic neo-soul/house music playing in the background, setting a super chill vibe. Honestly, a solid 5/5 all around!

Nestled in Slauson and Overhill is the Quaint little Restaurant called Crustee… it’s like Heaven on Earth . This little Guilty pleasure has the most Delicious Food and Dessert 🍮 they have Peach cobbler, Key lime Pie, Apple Pie, Shepherd Pie, Veggie Pot Pie, Gumbo, Banana Nut Pie… the list goes on… This Place will make you SLAP YOUR MAMA Everything is delicious and the Service is Excellent… Definitely 💯 Recommend that you take a drive to this Cafe and enjoy some of the delicious pies they have to Offer.

Always wanted to visit this spot because i just love a good pot pie but never quite made it. I did today though. #1 My Server and Staff(All 3 of them)-Extremely welcoming and great customer service. I cannot highlight that enough. I appreciate that. #2 i got the Shepard's Pie and took it to go. One bite in and they had me as a customer. Delicious. I cannot recommend them any more, they are definitely 5 Star in my opinion. I'm looking forward to returning to try the chili cheese and the chicken. I'll be trying the apple pie later on. I salute you all and thank you.

This place is really good! Best peach cobbler in la it tastes homemade always fresh peaches and flaky warm crust! I usually just get a cobbler but today I stumbled across their turkey chili so I got the turkey chili rice and cornbread. The chili was delicious, and the rice was delicious and fresh as well! The cornbread was plain but when mixed with the chili and rice it makes sense. When I walked in the cashier KIARA was helping someone else and I was off to the side looking at the menu so when she finished another customer walked up to the register ready to place his order and she politely said I was next in line. It may seem minor but her acknowledging my presence avoided a potentially awkward encounter. I was getting ready to tell him I was in line but she handled it! She was really nice and it seems like she might be new she seemed nervous as I was leaving 3-4 people walked in. I’m leaving this review to let you all know she gave me amazing customer service and to continue ensuring her she’s doing a great job. You don’t have to get every customer in and out right away it’s okay if people wait a few minutes that way you minimize errors and unnecessary stress. The chili rice and cornbread is gone but here is the cobbler

We loved this place. Order at the counter and either eat at the few tables inside or out or take home. We got the chicken curry pot pie and the beef pot pie and a jalapeno cheddar cornbread muffin as well as a plain one. The pot pies were 🔥. The crust was perfect and flaky and the filling had just the right amount of veggies. Super tasty. Half of us preferred the beef and the other half the chicken curry. The cornbread muffin were also delish, although we preferred the plain over the jalapeno. Half of us didn't like the pickled jalapeno on the top. It was too much and overpowered the corn flavor. we can't wait to go back. It may become a weekly treat.

I’ve lived in the south and spent time in Louisiana. It’s been a hot minutes since I last had some gumbo. I was not disappointed. The flavor was as super good. Maybe the rice was a little too soft(?), but really aside from that, I was so happy to get me some southern food. Great customer service. Portion size was good. About $18

Their chilli is delicious 😋 and they have amazing customer service. But please stay away from their banana pudding it is horrible 😫😫 tastes like jello pudding... waaaay to sweet... wafers were soggy... 1 slice of banana (literally one tiny slice) BUT... THE CHILI AND they have this strawberry 🍓 peach 🍑 lemonade 🍋 that is sooo good! Oh the cornbread is delicious too 🥰

my my my... mymymymy. just left 20 minutes ago. i ordered online a banana pudding, apple crust and peach cobbla. but when i pulled up, that strawberry, blueberry&banana pudding was staring at me. menacingly. so i got of that as well. and that didn't stand a chance. i haven't tatsed the rest, but what i did eat in the first 120 seconds of walking in the house was A1. the lady who took care of me was great. friendly. funny. the music right outside was dope. not too loud. yeah i'll back to try the white bean chicken chili.

Today, I ordered the Gumbo, Curry Chicken Pot Pie, and Pecan Sweet Potato Pie through Grubhub, and the experience was fantastic. I rated it 4 stars primarily because of the Curry Chicken Pot Pie which was my favorite! Rich, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. The gumbo had a great texture and portion size, but it was slightly lacking in flavor. The same goes for the sweet potato pie, it could use a bit more depth. That said, I was more than satisfied overall and can't wait to order again. Thanks for the comforting meals

Really really good peach cobbler! I went to a very fancy dinner party at a friend's home. The menu was very hi-brow and when she told me we were having tiramisu, I offered to bring this Crustee's cobbler. Well I did not know that one of the other guests had made the tiramisu and that she was very proud of her dish. Honestly I did not mean to steal her glory. But trust me, when the cobbler was presented, that little Italian cake just didn't have a chance. People licked their spoons and found ways to sneak into the kitchen with plastic cups to take some home. Crustees delivered a delicious not-overly sweet peach filling that had a gentle hint of cinnamon and a crust you could stand up and salute. It was so damn good that the tiramisu lady stopped speaking to me. and this was the highest of compliments

This cozy bakery in Windsor Hills is a local gem! The savory pot pies, especially the chicken and chicken curry, are my absolute favorite--flaky, hearty, and packed with flavor. Their cherry and key lime pies are also top-notch. Everything tastes so homemade with quality ingredients. The staff were also really sweet, which affirms why I try to support local spots.

I love the way I'm welcomed whenever I stop by. Staff here is always friendly and eager to help. It's rare I feel a restaurant can make food that tastes like my own, amazing cooking...but the turkey chili here is so dang delicious! When you want homemade chili without having to put in the work yourself, this is the place. Perfect for chilly nights. My husband enjoys the gumbo as well. And to top it off, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious pie. I can't wait to try a pot pie as well!

My first online delivery order from Crustees now has me hooked. From the shepherd's pie, to the peach cobbler pie, to the gumbo, everything was super delicious. And WOW the serving sizes exceeded my expectations. Excellent value for money! A happy and satisfied customer looking forward to a repeat selection from the menu.

This restaurant is under rated!!!! It's sooooo bomb I've had it about 4 times through DoorDash and it never has disappointed! I get their gumbo corn bread muffin and banana pudding! I just know the other items are bomb too!!!! Yall try it!

I saw an article in La Times about businesses to support. Picked up friends from LAX and stopped for lunch. We had white chicken chili, a beef pot pie and a chicken pot pie. We splurged. A pecan pie and a sweet potato pecan pie. Oh my the crusts on all were out of this world. You could taste the love and joy from the baker's hands 100 percent out of the world on quality price service We had the dining area to ourselves and saw several come and go with take out orders Support this baker !

We were in LA visiting a family friend and were taken to crusty for pot pies. We got them to go and we got the white chili. We are now home from church and we have eaten and I am telling you this food is some of the best I've eaten. It taste like it came right out of my grandmother's kitchen.

Congratulations on your six years in business, Carl. Your Shepherd's Pies are so delicate, not heavy, and oh so tasty! Be sure to check out the pies such as cherry or mixed berry which is my partner's favorite. So happy to have discovered your eatery!

Crustees is great I had a craving for a pot pie ona cold rainy day. Diane( who serve in the military and thank you for your service) talked me out of my PJ's to come down and get a Chicken Pot Pie. I went down there and didn't get one I got a Curry Chicken Pot Pie and Key Lime pie. As a self proclaimed Key lime connoisseur it was great. The pies have very fresh ingredients seasoned perfectly also the crust is amazing I see how they get the name Crustees. It was so good I came back today to get some chili and ended up getting the chili cheese pot pie and another key lime pie. This is my new comfort food spot.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! I walked by to go to another store and I saw desserts. I decided to go in and it is extremely clean. The aroma of the desserts and baked goods just catches your attention immediately. The worker at the front was very nice and answered all of the questions we may have had. Onto the food, the selection seemed so nice so I decided to try a few things. I ordered peach cobbler, apple pie, banana pudding with strawberries, and banana pudding with nutter butters. Everything I ordered was delicious!! The apple pie could have been a little sweeter but, I think that depends on the person. However, that banana pudding with nutter butter...amazing!!!! If you have sweet tooth and want something to cure it, get the banana pudding with nutter butter! I also really enjoyed the peach cobbler. The crust to peaches ratio is what I loved. I did not try anything savory this time but, I will be back to try the gumbo, pot pie, and cornbread!

I entered this eatery and the visual draws you right in, i ask if the Preach Cobbler was good and of course the gentle said "Yes". Well to my surprise it was amazing, the crust was just right, and the favor of the peach cobbler was well balanced! It was very good, just couldn't stop eating!

It's nice to see a place that sells pot pies. They have a nice variety too. The sheapards pie was really good. A little cool in the center tho. Order took longer than expected. Cornbread was pretty good too.

Wow! Just wow! I had the first banana pudding in my life. It was a blast. I also ordered the cherry pie and it's so good. 10/10, would support their flavorful little store whenever I'm in the area.

Mmmmmmm WoW!!! We picked these up based on reviews and photos, took them to a tailgate, simply delicious!! They did NOT disappoint. Certainly hit the spot :)

I am so late to discover this amazing eatery specializing in tasty pot pies and flaky dessert cobblers! I saw an ad on FB, and we came today - and they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary today!!! We got a chicken pot pie and a beef pot pie! The chicken pot pie, the classic, was so fulfilling I felt loved! But the beef pot pie!! It had a tantalizing flavor I could not place, and I couldnt stop eating it! We then got the banana pudding and the nutter butter peanut butter pudding!! Light, rich, silky and satisfying! We couldn't stop!! Then we got several desserts to take home: peach cobbler, apple crisp cobbler and the pecan pumpkin pie! God help us!! $85 dollars later, with pies to take home - and we already are planning on coming back! There are so many more varieties to try: more types of pot pies including a special Thanksgiving pot pie, two types of chili, seafood gumbo, and so many more desserts!!!

What an amazing find.saw it on tv.thought i would try it Just fabulous pot pies.both savory and sweet Cant rav enough.got 6 pies today.just eating one now Cant wait to go back to try other flavors

Those pot pies are so delicious! Actually everything we had was good, like reeeeaaaally good. I had the veggie pot pie and my daughter had the chicken pot pie, and we split an apple cobbler. The people are very friendly and helpful. Especially the lady who when I told her it was my first time there, she said "Well, we'll see you next week! 'Cause this food will change your life!" And she was right. I will definitely be back!!

Tasty, savory, delicious, scrumptious, filling...I went today to bless my taste buds. Customer service is very welcoming, friendly and inviting. I was able to find parking on the street in front of the eatery. I left my dog child in the car with it running and my air on full blast because it was a sweltering day. I wasn't sure what to get. There were so many delectable options to choose from both savory and sweet. I was persuaded by the owner to try some items so I got the Curry chicken pot pie, the Mixed berry cookie crumble pie, the peach cobbler, the banana pudding and a cup of chili. My total was 50. Service was quick and I left to go home and devour my food. THEY WERE AMAZING. Chili was thick and heart my curry chicken was moist and full and amaze balls. Both if my dishes were ready to eat and fresh! They filled me up rather quickly. I have not tried my peach cobbler or my banana as I ran out of tummy space!!!! I imagine the food keeps well for lunch the next day and beyond. This is definitely a place I'm coming back to!

This place feeds my craving for my sweet tooth. I saw this driving by headed to Target one day. I decided to come back when I had more time and they did not disappoint. I ordered a peach cobbler and a Nutter butter banana pudding and it was AMAZING!!!!!! I wanted to try the veggie pot pie, since I don't eat meat but unfortunately they did not have it. I will be back when they do. 9/10 service was welcoming, friendly, and courteous.

Very nice VERY CLEAN!!! Customer service Great!! I got peace cobbler , chicken pot pie OMG a must buy You can dine in or take out or sit outside. Let me know what you think?

Went here a few times, loved it. The last time the server decides to give me old funky rice. Never going back. It was so bad, I asked him to smell it and he agreed. Why not just give me rice from the pot. No he grabs a dust covered bowl of rice. I expected more from a black establishment. Not ever going back and rescinding my verbal compliments I gave to family and friends about this place. I waited a while to make this review but after so many places playing in my food and my face, I am done holding back.

Comfort for my soul. I have been traveling up and down Slauson for years and kept telling myself that I need to stop and check out some of the businesses. Crustees is now a favorite. I had the shepherd pot pie. It was filled with ground, turkey and lamb cooked in a red wine reduction, mixed vegetables, onion, garlic, and mushrooms, topped with white truffle mashed potatoes and cheese. It was divine. For dessert I had the La Brea classic banana pudding. it was so good. I cannot wait to come back and try all of the other savory pot pies as well as the sweet pies. I took my pot pie to go because I wasn't hungry at the time. It was easy to heat up in the oven and enjoy in the comfort of my dining room. However, Crustees has an incredible space to dine in that is really sweet and just as comforting as their food.

Best banana pudding i've ever had! Left me speechless with the first bite. I got the Labrea Classic it came out to around $8.47, soooo delicious has me drooling just thinking about it. Service was great friendly employees. Please try!

Love this place. Gumbo delicious. Turkey chili and jalapeño cornbread muffins awesome. Pot pies great. Customer service is like family. They're great here and so is the food. Try the sweet potato pecan pie, the pound cake and the peach cobbler. Yum. You will not regret it.

Disappointed. I found this terrific little spot early on during the Covid quarantine and have come to love it. It's been a couple months and I had a hankering for chicken pot pie, so I ordered. For the 1st time, I was unhappy. The entire thing was just under done. The crust was too light, doughy and uncooked. The filing was far too watery: soupy as opposed to the normal stews. Coincidentally, I also ordered a mixed berry pie and that crust was also severely raw. To the point of upsetting my stomach. My guest also tried and agreed. I know this place to be good and it has been for 2-3 years. I beg of you to please play

Some of the best chilli I've tasted from an establishment. I don't know who is back there making this but it is surely made with love. Also, the banana pudding. Maaaaan...The banana pudding... I don't even like banana pudding very much and something told me to try it out and Lord, I was NOT disappointed. Just delicious. I also appreciate that everything is pretty affordable here so I don't have to break the bank when I DoorDash and I can get some quality food in the process. My mom has been hyping this place up to me for months and she did not steer me wrong. Crustees, yall are special!!

I've been dying to try Crustee's since I live right down the street and drive past it all the time. I got a couple of pies as gifts and one to try for myself. The pie is insane! Can't wait to go back and try other flavors

Good all around. We got the Peach pie, individual Cherry pies and their banana pudding. My favorite was the banana pudding - I could have eaten 2, but had to be mindful to share The pie crusts were really good, the filling were a bit ordinary (and not sweet enough) for me but they did taste very fresh - so much so that I that I bit into a few cherry pits (so watch out, it could hurt depending on how hard you bite). I would like to go back to try their savory pies since the crust is nice and flaky.

I would guess by the name that they specialize in pies. And the Apple Pie I tried is fantastic, but their real claim to fame is their sugar-bomb Banana Pudding and the Seafood Gumbo which is truly exceptional. The shrimp and crab infuse the seafood savor, and chicken and sausage make a meaty mix. I'm not going to lie, nine dollars is pretty steep for a 5-inch pie, but the quality is excellent. If I'm going to spend my money somewhere, I'd happily spend it to support this family business.

I love this place. I had my guy check real quick to see if they had other places in different areas, since we do not live in or near LA. This was the best chicken pot pie that I ever had. I chose it because you could decide between two sizes. Only complaint I had is it was just not very warm.. The crust was so flaky!!!! I wish they had a place closer to San Francisco because I would have loved to try their shepherds pie. Now that I think about it, I should have gotten one to go. Or maybe one of the fruit pies... Cute little shop!!!!

My delivery came from Crustees and I was exited to try to chicken potpie and peach cobbler. The potpie didn't really move me. Unfortunately it was pretty dry. The thick crust made it taste even drier. The flavor was good and it had big chinks of chicken in it. It was just missing the moisture from more juice. Now that peach cobbler was PERFECT! The crust was delicious and the inside tasted like gold. I was skeptical because everybody can't make peach cobbler but I'll give this one a 10. I'll definitely be going back for the cobbler.

Can I just say (type), I'm glad I stopped by. First, everyone smiled when I walked in. So I smiled. I asked for the customer favorites and Rachel said "the chili (pick one, any one) and the chicken pot pie. And that's what I ordered, to go. I was not disappointed with my white bean chili and side of rice, chicken pot pie and pecan sweet potato pie. Nooooo, I didn't eat that all in one sitting...lol...I saved the chicken pot pie for dinner and had a piece of the pecan pie and pinched on it the rest of the week. And you know I had to check out the cleanliness of the dining room, serving area and restroom...check! Nice, organized, clean and fresh. Customer Service, great...check! Clean... check! Delicious Food...check! Visiting Again...ABSOLUTELY! Next up, peach cobbler...hhhmmm, and maybe the curry chicken pot pie.

Good food and friendly service. I tried the chicken pot pie. It's very good. Easy street parking during weekdays lunch hours.

I'm on a search to find the perfect pie in LA...so far mid results at best. I tried Crustees on pi day but they didn't have any specials which was a little disappointing but ok haha The restaurant itself is a little walk in cute place very clean and organized! I got a chicken pot pie and an apple pie to go. The chicken pot pie was really good! Very flavorful and sturdy. I do wish the crust was a little more buttery but overall it was tasty! The apple pie was only ok...the crust was a little too sweet for my personal taste but the filling was pretty good. Still not the perfect pie I'm looking for but I certainly wouldn't tell anyone to not go here! It's solid pie and the prices are decent. The service was really friendly and professional! I like the vibes of the place. The quest continues but you should give this one a try! It might be perfect for you!

The last time I left a review was in Oct 2022, and gave Crustees Eatery 4 stars. But now it's Dec 2023 and I'm giving them 5 stars. I've probably been here at least 30 times since Oct 2022 all the up until now, and I enjoy the food every single time. The service is great and fast, the place is always clean and well lit. So this time since I'm doing Yelp a little more often I will include some pictures of my recent ordered. My fiancé loves their White Chicken Chili and for myself I love the Rustic Chili. Every time I'm in the mood for some Rustic chili from Crustees it always tastes the same. You can't go wrong with this place. This time i ordered my usual Apple Crisp because they were out of Apple Pies and finally tried my fiancé Mixed Berry Cookie Cobbler, and I'm hooked on it as of right now until I try something different. I really like this establishment because they have a good variety of items that are made fresh daily, and you can tell that they use high quality ingredients. You can really taste it in the food. "Can't wait to try something different in 2024"

So yummy!!! Happened upon this place. Great food. Savory and sweet. Family run. Excellent employees.

So nice to have a local Mom n Pop shop down the street with healthy home made eats. Of course all the dessert pies are scrumptious but the savory pot pies are a must have. The staff is always so polite, patient, and helpful. Can't wait to taste their pumpkin pies !!!!

I loved this place. They have great pies. I don't know how many I've ordered over the years for myself and others. This past Saturday, I ordered two half pan cobblers (one peach and one berry) for a memorial service. I was so excited to share them with my loved ones. The owner placed them on the floor of my car behind the driver and said I was good to go. The peach was great, but the berry was underdone. It was like soup. It spilled all over the box and onto the other cobbler. When I called to tell the business, they said it was my fault because it wasn't placed flat on the floor. It was, and the owner placed it there and didn't say a word. This is really unfortunate because I really liked this business.

The chicken pot pie is very good but overly priced for the size. I miss Boston Market

I had the banana pudding and chicken pot pie. Both were the best I'd ever had. Definitely coming back to try everything else.

When I am too busy, Crustees is go-to for a delicious healthy dinner. My favorite is the Shepherds Pie with the truffle mashed potatoes topping. Add one of their lemon-y Lemon Meringue Pies for a special occasion or just make a simple green salad. The Shepherds Pie is very popular, so you may want to call in your order. The friendly counter staff will have your order ready and you're ready for dinner,

i love their mini pies. Steven is awesome and the rice is the bomb! The place looks transparent and cool colors with comfort food that makes a person want to buy everything on the menu! Thank you for bringing this to us!

Scene: *Woman who should have purchased a pumpkin pie earlier in the week is feverishly on the hunt for a pumpkin pie the night before Thanksgiving. She scrolls through Yelp and sees phenomenal reviews of Crustees Eatery* PLOT TWIST - I'm the woman! I arrived at Crustees at around 6PM on a Wednesday night and nearly jumped for joy when I realized that parking was available right in front of the shop, which generally isn't the case from 9-5 because of traffic flow in that lane. As soon as I entered, I saw two personal sized pies that resembled pumpkin pies, but I was deceived. I asked the cashier whether they had any pumpkin pies, eyeing the displayed pies, as another employee entered from the kitchen with as many pies as she could carry. The cashier told me that the displays were sweet potato pie. However, there were two additional pumpkin pies available! I asked her to wrap them up and also purchased a banana pudding. The total came up to about $25 for the three items. Y'all the pies and pudding were heavenly! I was reluctant to share with my husband but needed another person to experience the pure bliss of Crustees desserts. The serving size seemed small at first but it took my husband and I a few days to finish all three desserts. It was certainly a big enough serving to share, or at least have seconds, and maybe even thirds depending on the level of your sweet tooth! I'd definitely recommend you run, not walk, to Crustees to grab your desserts at any time of the year, not just during thanksgiving.

Chicken pot pie was fire but the shepherd pie wasn't so great .'I did order over postmates so it came with a coupon for buy one get one free ! Major plus

Crustees is delicious, quality food - our favorites are the chicken pot pie, curry pie and chili pie...sometimes I get the chili when I'm pretending to be good! Sweet Potato Pie is good as is the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (a special treat for my dad). Not the cheapest but worth it...so pleased to have quality, take-out in my neighborhood

My favorite restaurant in the whole neighborhood! The best chilli I've ever had. And don't get me started on that banana pudding. I can't wait to try the tiramisu.

They were out of classic chicken pot pies so I tried the curry chicken AND 10 OUT OF 10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND. DELICIOUS
