Oh Lordy, these pies, y'all.
I first tasted some of their buttermilk and some of their tomato pie at the Taste of Buckhead event with a friend in the fall of 2022. We went back for SECONDS for that tomato pie, it was an incredible umami bomb with that delectable streusel-like topping I can never get enough of! You know I held onto their business card (with a coupon printed on the back)!
A month or so later, I took my twin 3-year-olds into their Vinings shop location to try and get myself some more of that tomato pie BUT we left with so much more! We were 100% surprised to find out that the shop was celebrating a secret pie day and was giving away slices, while supplies last! (Had I died and gone to heaven? Would my children slip into sugar crash comas? Who cares, we're doing this thing!)
My kids picked chocolate (duh), I picked buttermilk, and we sat and ate them at the bar while my mini-sized tomato pie was prepared for me to take home later.
It gets better.
See, when the lady behind the counter is filled with Southern hospitality (and has an apparent soft spot for cute little twin girls), you get BONUS free slices of pie. Yes, it was supposed to be a little hush-hush, but we also visited near the end of the afternoon, and of course they didn't want to end up with leftover free pie, right?
The kind-kind lady set my daugthers up with another slice to share when they got home, and she generously gave us a slice to share with Daddy, too.
The icing on the cake (or rather, the vanilla ice cream on the pie) was that the lady also gave the each of my girls a word search sheet to complete at home with the promise of a free slice of pie when they finish and bring it back!
By the way, I'm very pleased to soon be ordering an apple pie for my dad's birthday present, and when my sister-in-law comes to town, I plan to order a gluten-free quiche. I know that will be a great surprise for her.
I get serious uppity vibes when I visit Vinings Jubilee, and sure the interior is a gorgeous, spotless dream kitchen, but the people *and the food* here are nothing but comfort. 100% welcoming. (My eyes are seriously misting as I write this.)
Logistics: No bathroom available. This isn't really a sit-down place - there is a bar with 4 stools by the window. Parking is shared with the neighboring shops. Be aware of the Thursday farmer's market when in season.
I love supporting small businesses. I love nurturing our relationship with the great food of the South. I frikkin love this pie. Go to Southern Baked Pie Company and be blessed.
