It is incredibly difficult to find good cake or good pie. Most everything we have tried at Pie Bird Bakeshop has been amazing.
Pie Bird Bakeshop is the one bakery I will return to purchase pie, especially when I am too lazy to bake one myself. Premium ingredients are used, including European-style butter and organic, locally sourced, farm fresh fruits.
We tend to stick with our favorites each time we purchase a pie. Our favorite of what we have had is the Banana Cream: delicious banana custard, fresh bananas, and a surprise crumble. Another favorite is the Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie: great balance of the smooth, sweetness of the chocolate and crunch of the slightly salty pecan. The Horchata Chess: decadent and comforting. The Black Bottom Pumpkin: we loved the pairing of chocolate and pumpkin, but the pumpkin was more spice-forward.
Unfortunately, I am knocking a star for the one lady with the long brown hair with an attitude. She sells at the farmers' market, where every time I buy from her, she has this cold, condescending attitude. It would be one thing if that is how she normally interacts with people, but in one instance, she was incredibly friendly and helpful to the person in front of me, describing the pie itself, how long it can sit on the counter before having to be refrigerated, and how long it will hold in the refrigerator, etc. She provided none of that to me, ever. She does not have a friendly tone with me, as if it pains her to wish me a nice day. Everyone else who sells the pies is warm and welcoming, including owner, Hannah Jacobsen herself.
One bad apple ruins the entire pie; the same applies to any business.
Pie Bird Bakeshop is currently available at the farmers' markets, but we hope Ms. Jacobsen will have a brick-and-mortar bakery in the future. Ms. Jacobsen is an incredibly-skilled baker and offers many unique flavors. We look forward to her next creations.
