I recently had the pleasure of visiting High Pie, a coffee and pie restaurant located in the historic Top Gun house in Oceanside. As someone who is sensitive to gluten, I was thrilled to discover that all of the items on the menu at High Pie are gluten-free. This is a rarity in the world of baked goods and coffee, so I was very excited to give this restaurant a try.
The location of this restaurant is simply unbeatable, with a stunning view of the ocean and the Oceanside pier directly across the street. We decided to sit on the patio to take in the incredible view, and it was definitely worth it. The restaurant operates on a self-serve model, with a variety of coffee and pie options available for purchase at the counter. I decided to go with a "cup of Joe," which was their version of a quick coffee, and it was delicious. It was also incredibly affordable, with a price of just $1. My girlfriend ordered a small square of their cherry pie, which was packaged in a box and ready to go. Despite the packaging, the pie was still incredibly delicious. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and perfectly tart.
Despite the self-serve model, the staff at High Pie were still incredibly friendly and helpful. They were available to answer any questions we had and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The restaurant itself is located within a historic building that is known as the Top Gun house, where the original Top Gun movie was filmed. This added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant, and it was fun to be dining in such a unique and memorable location.
Overall, I have to say that High Pie is a fantastic restaurant that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Oceanside area, especially those who are sensitive to gluten. The location is unbeatable, with a stunning view of the ocean, and the food and service are both top-notch. Whether you're in the mood for a quick coffee or a delicious slice of pie, High Pie has something for everyone, and I can't wait to visit again soon.
