Highlights
"Inside this dentist's office-turned-bakery is the best key lime pie in the city, made better than the rest by the addition of strawberries and basil. Get a whole one, or get a slice and build your own pie flight to decide whether you like the lemon espresso or cucumber, mango, and chili lime versions better. Cakes, cookies, quiches, and banana pudding are on the menu too. Warm dishes like chicken pot pie are available after 11am, made even warmer by the friendliest conversations you’ll ever have with strangers." - veda kilaru, john ringor

"Chicago pie whiz Maya-Camille Broussard named her pie business after her father, Stephen Broussard, a criminal defense attorney and pie enthusiast. After years as a pop-up and virtual operation, the bakery in 2023 opened a permanent location in Avalon Park. Broussard, who gained national fame as a breakout star on Netflix’s Bake Squad, serves sumptuous quiches and savory pies.
