"The Magazine Street storefront for this classic New Orleans praline and pie destination has closed to the public, but the business is still baking out of a warehouse at its Uptown location and confirmed to Eater that production continues despite the storefront closure." - Eater Staff
"Once a classic New Orleans praline and pie destination, the Magazine Street storefront of Tee-Eva’s Old Fashioned Pies and Pralines has closed, though the business is still baking out of a warehouse at its Uptown location with no public storefront; I confirmed by phone that orders must now be placed by phone or online and there’s no place to browse its wares. The shop was founded in 1994 by Eva Louis Perry—known as Tee Eva—who had run the business for years before that and retired in 2000, handing it to her granddaughter; Perry died at 83 less than six months before the storefront shuttered, though her death is unlikely to have caused the closure." - Tim Forster
"Founded by Eva Louis Perry—also known as Tee Eva—this Uptown praline and pie shop opened in 1994 after a few years of catering and supplying her goods to other businesses, and before that she worked as a sweets vendor on foot. The physical shop operates as a destination for NOLA classics like gumbo and jumbalaya and also boxes up its famous sweets for mail orders. Perry, who was reared at the Magnolia housing project and learned to make her sweets from her grandmother, retired from the business in 2000 and her granddaughter now owns the shop; Perry was also a large part of reviving a NOLA tradition as a member of Ernie K-Doe’s Baby Dolls." - Alison Baitz
