"Bud “The Pieman” Royer founded the Royers dynasty, including the popular Royers Cafe down the street, which is run by his son JB Royer. Located just a short walk away, this popular pie joint is completely separate and owned by The Pieman’s daughter, Tara Royer Steele. The vibe is also a little different, with a variety of coffee drinks, pie shakes, smoothies, and a cutesy shop to browse through with clothing, books, and mugs that offer inspirational and motivating quotes. The pie, however, is the focus, with Royers classics like the chocolatey Texas Trash Pie and the iconic brown sugar and cinnamon-loaded Not My Mom’s Apple Pie — recipes that have been in the family for years." - Brittany Britto Garley

"As the sibling to Royers Round Top Cafe, Royers Pie Haven is famed for its pies—try the Texas Trash Pie—as a quintessential Round Top sweet stop." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"The Round Top bakery is one of the very best places in Texas for pies. Stock up on pies and be sure to get a slice of junk berry for fruit-on-fruit-on-fruit flavors for the road. Check out its nearby sibling cafe Royers Round Top Cafe for a classic Texan menu. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The owner of Royers Round Top Cafe, Bud “The Pieman” Royer, set up a pie headquarters around the corner in Henkel Square. Here, sweet and savory pies are sold whole and by the slice. Satiate a sweet tooth with a slice of Texas Trash pie, and pair it with a latte or cappuccino. Keep up the sugar high with other non-pie treats like blueberry or cranberry muffins, and then explore the neighboring boutiques. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are outdoor dine-in services." - Megha McSwain

"I watched Megan be initially skeptical of Royers Pies’ Texas Trash pie based on appearance, but the mix of coconut, chocolate chips, graham crackers, pretzels and caramel eventually won her over — she said all the ingredients were having a 'Body' party in her mouth — and the 'White Trash Texas' version (with white chocolate chips) made her break out into a dance; their pies are available on Royers’ website and via Goldbelly." - Brittany Britto Garley
