Nestled in a charming retro shop, this bustling café serves up an irresistible rotating selection of homemade sweet and savory pies, perfect for breakfast or a treat.
"The flaky and buttery crust is the star of the show at one of Chicago’s finest pie makers. The selection changes daily at both locations — West Town and suburban Evanston — so there’s always something new to try. But the one constant, the classic apple, might be the best apple pie in the city." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
"The Hoosier Mama pie selection never skimps on the savory options. Chicken pot pie is usually available whole or by the slice, but, should they appear, don’t pass up the pork apple sage supper pie or the chicken tomatillo pot pie. There’s also a daily selection of hand pies. Hoosier Mama has an additional location in Evanston." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"This little retro artisanal bake shop whips up sweet & savory homemade pies daily, using only the best ingredients around. With only a few tables, it's a great spot to stop in and try a few different slices in their cute little window nook, or take a larger pie to go for a get together at home. The chicken pot pie is to die for, and you can't go wrong with any of their sweet options - fruit, custard, or chocolate based. In addition to pies they have muffins, scones, and Metropolis coffee. TIP - Stop in on a Friday night for a pie flight of 3 slices from an ever-changing menu." - Serafini Creative

"West Town stalwart Hoosier Mama is best known for its top-notch pies, but customers should be sure not to overlook the pastry selection. Stop by for joy-inducing cherry turnovers, corn muffins with honey, and chewy iced oatmeal cookies. There’s another location in suburban Evanston." - Naomi Waxman
