Peace Pie fell on my radar when researching eateries to try while in Cape May. The name piqued my interest, being a fan of pie and dessert in general I thought this place was right up my alley. Also, the Yelp reviews and recommendations of this place sounded great - so I made it my intention to check them out during my trip.
While Peace Pie is not technically in the Washington Street Mall, it sits parallel to it on Carpenters Ln near several other businesses; it's very easy to get there if you're at the mall. There is no interior to the shop, rather it is a walk-up window with all of the production being conducted in a small structure. The exterior is really capturing to the eye - it's bright with an inviting aura.
I quickly learned - and it's worth noting - that Peace Pie does not sell pies as in the baked good. Rather, they sell ice cream sandwiches - their signature being that each sandwich has a layer of pie filling in it. In addition to this location in CM, they have two other spots in NJ plus others in SC and FL.
As I approached the window I noticed a menu with all of the flavors listed. They have a lot - but it really only lists the flavor name/combo without giving detail to the actual components of the sandwich; you would need to ask or consult the website to get that information.
Anyway, the triple vanilla looked good so I went with that - it was vanilla ice cream with a layer of vanilla mousse between two shortbread cookies. The sandwich itself was good - better than a typical ice cream sandwich. Even though it was premade, the quality itself was higher than what I have found elsewhere.
Service was fast - there was nobody else there when I arrived so I was taken care of right away. Overall, I was impressed with Peace Pie - it definitely fits in well with the whole beach aesthetic of Cape May, and I wouldn't be against returning the next time I'm in the area.
