"Of course you go for the pie, but they have so much more deliciousness, like brunch and even cocktails. Whenever you connect with the Lauretta Jean's crew, whether it be here or the Farmers Market or a music festival, they just want you to be happy. The space is cozy diner meets Grandma's kitchen and that solidifies Kate's homage to her shop's namesake. And always, always butter for those flakey layers of biscuits and pie crust, that makes all the difference!" - Factory North
"A neighborhood pie spot the couple visits often; Casabianca says they “get pie … way too much,” typically “a slice of quiche and a sweet treat for later.” She brought her grandmother who declared, “we have to go every time family comes.” The anecdote continues: an uncle once “bought three pies,” and needed a stack of Pyrex dishes returned afterward." - Thom Hilton
"Noted for pie and dessert slices as a reliable late-stop in the Division/Clinton corridor." - Dianne de Guzman
"What once was a farmer’s market booth has since expanded into a bright and cheery bakery on Division. Buttery crusts give just the right amount of flaky goodness to inventive and classic fruit pies like tart cherry and raspberry chiffon, or quiches like bacon caramelized onion Swiss. After operating as a takeout window for much of the pandemic, Lauretta Jean’s since reopened its remodeled interior, serving slices, pastries, coffee, and tea. Larger orders can also be placed through the weekly bake sale." - Zoe Baillargeon
"The tart cherry pie offers a burnished, crackly, buttery, and slightly savory crust paired with a jammy filling that is sweet but not too sweet—described as balanced and gently hedonistic. The blueberry Victoria is a pie-and-cake hybrid with layers of jammy blueberry compote, fluffy cake, and tangy lemon curd under a cloud of whipped cream. The pumpkin maple cake is perfectly moist with sweet maple frosting." - Eater Staff
