The Best Pies in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"This family operated Pasadena institution does two things very well: pies and cobblers. Both are made with locally grown fruit and the cobblers come in a range of sizes, from single servings to trays large enough to feed a village with peach, apple, cherry, lemon meringue, and mixed berry fillings. Go straight to the Gourmet Cobbler Factory to place an order or give them a call. Act early, as they’ve been selling out of their inventory in recent weeks." - Mona Holmes

My son wanted some pie, and it was this little whole in the wall with apparently home made cobblers - a bit too sweet for both our tastes (we had the peach cobbler), but authentic it was

I went in to buy a pie to bring to a bbq. I ended up buying three, sweet potato, peach and berry. They were all delicious!!

Located on a sleepier and quieter side of Pasadena, The Gourmet Cobbler Factory is run by a nice old Black couple. Their other business is Clifton's BBQ which is two store fronts merged together. It is tucked away on the side of a building and initially is hard to find but there is tons of street parking. My mom and I saw a Huell Howser special on them a while back and for sure this couple has been baking cobblers and bbq for over thirty years now at least. I like getting their cobblers and taking it home to eat with some ice cream. Just two scoops over the 4x6 pies is enough as a good dessert. The bbq is good too and arguably better than Gus' and Lucille's. Would the pies be more if you got it from Marie Callender's? Of course it would just like any other major restaurant but the charm of the Gourmet Cobble Factory is not just the cobblers and bbq but getting to support local businesses -- our mom and pop businesses especially black owned. If you're in the area, stop by the Gourmet Cobbler Factory and pick up some cobblers and bbq.

Decently priced and delicious pecan pies (single serving sized), even when they're not in season (I bought mine in August). Small business run by a nice older couple. Get there early as they might run out ahead of closing time, which is what happened the first time I tried to go there (they close at 6pm on specific days, but were closed at 5 on the day that I tried). Also, calling in advance is hit or miss, as the voicemail is full.

I love the cobbler from this Cobbler factory in Pasadena California. I have told the owners that I have had cobbler in Georgia to El Paso Texas but they are nothing like the the cobbler factory in Pasadena,California, they have just the best!!!

The pictures do not do this cobbler justice . The taste and texture is absolutely Devine . The owners are friendly and warm . They went out of their way to accommodate me. I always visit this place when I return home and will continue to do so as long as they remain open. I remember coming here as a child and as an adult it still brings back positive nostalgia.

My husband and I stopped because of a cobbler poster. We walked in, ordered the GG plate, a cobler and a pecan mini pie. BBQ: The brisket was better than what we've had in Texas We thought the ribs would be sweet and dry but oh man it was moist The chicken looked dry but again we were surprised at how moist it was. We also tried the pork sausage and it was amazing; not oily, just the perfect amount of spice, great bounce. The potato salad had a good amount of dill and mh husband loved it. GUMBO: This was the ultimate dish in my opinion. I was afraid it would have way too much spice and flavor. But I swear, it was my ultimate favorite dish. I could eat this daily! DESSERT: the mixed berry cobbler was cold and we thought it would be bad but the crust was still crispyy! The pecan pie was a tad dry but the flavors were perfect. Let's not mention the extremely nice people who owned and ran the place. We are their newest fans.

The Gourmet Cobbler Factory is a family-run gem with big flavor packed into every bite. This cozy spot serves up the most delicious peach cobbler I've ever tasted. You can feel the love and tradition in their recipe, from the juicy peaches to the flaky, buttery crust that melts in your mouth. It's the kind of homemade goodness that's hard to find these days, but they deliver it with perfection. If you're looking for a dessert that's comforting, flavorful, and made with care, this is the place to go!

Wonderful family-owned business. We tried the mixed berry and peach cobblers, and OMG, they were nothing short of sensational !! Actually, they were perfect ! Perfect amount of fruit, amazing seasonings and flavor, and the perfect crust. Thin and delicious, not gummy or doughy. That's for both cobblers. I think the peach was my favorite of the two we tried. I really liked the berry, too, but peach was the best. It's been many months since I was there, and I stumbled onto the fact that I never wrote a review for this place. I'm so glad I discovered my error because their cobblers are worth every accolade. I had a lovely conversation with the "wife" owner. She was so sweet and talkative. Lovely person, and I was so glad to have met her... and bought her cobblers. Her husband came out front to deliver a sheet full of cobblers. He was obviously hard at work in the kitchen. We don't exactly live around the corner, but when I return to Pasadena, this will be on my list FOR SURE.

Yum yummy, delicious yummy cobbler. We tried apple and peach both were delicious. The customer service was excellent, we picked to go, called ahead when we got there it was ready to go. The inside it's pretty small, I think it's a place just to pick up and go, try them out. There's parking on the street.

My wife bought some Peach Cobbler home. I did not know I was a cobbler fan until I tried this spot. Now every time she goes to Pasadena I am telling her to bring me a new flavor to try. Really delicious treats!

3/4/2024, It's been almost one year since I last been to this hole in the wall deli that sells over-priced way too sweet cobbler that's nothing has changed about it for the past 30 years. The cobbler is still served in those cheap aluminum containers but the price has gone up now to a ridiculous $8.95 price tag. They didn't even have any peach cobbler when I came back this time, last time they didn't have any peach out as well. Only plenty of berry and apple cobbler in the display, that's ridiculous. Just 10 years ago the price was around $4.00 for a cobbler which I thought was a reasonable price, but the price has increased over 10% each year over the past decade. In fact, all the menu items have exponentially increased at this place and nothing has changed nor improved about the place. The same old painting is on the wall as you enter, the same old looking front door and its dirty windows. The old dirty looking cobbler display at the cash register which is the only thing that's changed. The owners attitudes are very sour and unfriendly especially to lighter skinned African Americans like myself. I bought two pathetically small sweet potato pies for a ridiculously $4.95 each on Sunday and the dark skinned owner made absolutely no eye contact with me nor was he friendly or polite towards me. He also just ignored me for over 5 minutes when I first came into the store. He didn't even saying anything like, "I will be with you in a second". So I just had to stand there waiting until I said something to get his slow attention. The sweet potato pie tasted sour and nasty. I gave one to my friend who was waiting patiently but a long time in the car for me, he took one bite of it and tossed the rest in the trash saying it tasted nasty. I later took a bite of mine when I got back home later in the afternoon, I had to toss mine too in the trash. A waste of my money on those pies. I won't come back to this ridiculously over-priced place nasty place. The food is honestly not that great for their sky high menu prices. Crazy!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's such a wholesome family owned restaurant. We came about 15mins from their closing time thinking we probably won't get too lucky but we did. The lovely gentleman that served us was so friendly and welcoming. It's on a quiet street in Pasadena with plenty of parking nearby. We got a pint of gumbo which came with rice and the blueberry cobbler. The gumbo was delicious! Plenty of meat and flavor it was amazing! The cobbler was rich and filling perfect amount for 2 people! Please give this place a try! You won't be disappointed:)

This gourmet peach cobbler is the best I have ever had!!! They also have different flavors but my favorite is peach cobbler. Please if you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it. We have been in Texas and they have great bbq but when I ask for peach cobbler it just doesn't have that taste and flavor that I get from Pasadena California. If you're not yet convinced by what I have said about this Gourmet cobbler Store, we have been to Georgia, the home of the Georgia peach. Well I had to try it out. But seriously the best place to get a Cobbler is in Pasadena California.

Local family owned gem with a very unassuming storefront, but when I walked in I felt transported to a southern bake shop with the hospitality to match. Gloria didn't have to do much talking for us to be sold into some peach and berry cobblers. We are so happy to have found it and will be telling more people to come here for authentic bbq and cobblers.

I come here every time I am in LA. It's a must! The best cobbler I've ever had. This family owned and operated business has been here all my life. Peach is my all time favourite, but all of them are so good. It smells like heaven when you walk in. There is cool artwork on the walls. Love it.

This is a Sunday spot for sure. Take out only but we enjoyed it outside on our patio. I'm a big a fan of places that go out of their way to give you both a delicious and nostalgic feeling. I ordered the pull pork sandwich, side of collard greens, Mac and cheese, and 1 peach cobbler. The pulled pork speaks for itself and it's handled so finely. I appreciate this method of pulled pork without fat but full of flavor on its own. They give you extra bbq sauce and some perfectly seasoned and not runny coleslaw. Mac and cheese was nice a warm and rich. The collard greens are a must!!!! My favorite side of all time paired with barbecue. Their collard greens are the best I've ever tasted. Once you open the container, you smell the ham hock and a nice peppery taste. You won't regret it. Lastly, the peach cobbler has a light and crispy crust with a delicious cinnamon and and peach filling. Warm this up and have it at home with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You will feel soooo cozy and pleasantly full. Great service and well made meals.

I happened by this location on my way to Cars. We tried the peach cobbler and it was mildly disappointing. The peach cobbler wasn't very sweet (nor was it spiced with anything) and the crust had no flavor . For $9, you get a small aluminum tin and a bland pie. I gave the store 3 stars for friendly warm service.

Introduction: I'm a sucker for a good peach cobbler and since my friend talked highly about their peach cobbler and sweet potato pie, lo and behold, I'm here. Food: Sweet potato pie: This is one of the best sweet potato pies I have ever eaten: the filling of the sweet potato tastes organic and pure; the caramelization on top earns extra bonus points in my book. I end up getting a second one to-go. Seafood gumbo: It's not easy finding a bowl of legitimate gumbo and I usually get mine in Hawthorne but the gumbo here is spot on and excellent. The gumbo's fragrance is alluringly intoxicating, with the smell of vegetables, crab and shrimp giving the nose an assertive wake up call. The gumbo's broth is light but bursting with flavor with every spoonful. While some establishment's gumbo tends to be overtly spicy in order to cover some of the gumbo's shortcomings, the spiciness of the Cobbler Factory's gumbo is different. The spiciness here is due to the gumbo's authenticity of flavor as opposed to trying to hide anything: it is spicy because it's what a particular locality of people, such as those in the South, are used to. Peach cobbler: I have had peach cobbler from a variety of places and some of the peach cobblers I've had are atrocious: on one occasion I had a cobbler in which the peach slices inside were semi-white in color and it tasted awful. In contrast, the peach cobbler at the Cobbler Factory is a sure winner: the peach slices are beautifully dark orange in color and each slice is tenderly soft, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The cobbler's sauce is divine and when eaten with the peaches, it causes the palate to salivate. The crust tastes wholesome, smooth and bears substance; this is coming from someone who usually doesn't eat the cobbler's crust. Ambiance: Casual, small mom and pop shop. Service: The proprietors are a lovely old couple who's friendly, polite, and accommodating. Price: Affordable and reasonable.

This is a combination peach cobbler dessert shop and Southern / soul barbecue restaurant known for pulled pork, greens and other sides. The pork sandwich was perfect. The Mac and cheese was eye-openingly good I don't not recommend the greens.

WOW just wow. I finally had the chance to try out this Cobbler factory and I'm sure glad I did. I appreciate the love an hard work put into this small establishment. I ordered the apple cobbler. The crispy crust was think and filled with flavor (not your usual plain crust). The filling itself was delicious and filled with subtle sweet flavors. My only feedback was that I wish the filling was a little bit thicker in consistently. I baked my order in 400 degree temperature for about 15-20 minutes back at home and the cobbler was just perfect! For the price I'd definitely be back for some more. I recommend for larger orders or orders in general just to call in advance to place your order (the menu mentioned at least 3 hours notice for some menu items). I want to try some cobbler with ice cream or maybe even some toasted oats on top. Overall great spot to check out!

I've been a few times - this is authentic cobbler. The peach is absolutely wonderful. Straight from the South, where I spent all of my childhood summers. I hesitate to say that this is a must-have for Thanksgiving due to the extremely long line of loyal customers, but the wait was worth it. Family owned. Looking forward to trying next door.

Had a craving for peach cobbler and came across this place. Ordered the peach cobbler a la mode - it was warmed up the crust was thick and homemade and the ice cream quality. This black owned business has been around a while and has great cobbler.

Just ordered the rib tip dinner but clearly the only thing the damn cashier knew was "brisket dinner" . I haven't been here in about a year and nothing has changed. Still the same soggy ass Mac and cheese and over priced dinner. It went from $20-$26 for the same fucking plate. Don't eat here! It's below mediocre. It's has so much potential but just holds onto its old bad habits. Nasty weird tasting brisket and the Mac and cheese tasted like peach cobbler. It was terrible.

I walked by the Gourmet Cobbler Factory a couple of times but never tried it out until now. It was a cute hole in the wall. The store smelled of fresh-baked goodness, and inhaling it in just took all my stress away. I ordered the peach, cherry, and boysenberry cobblers! All 4x6 and enough to share with friends. The cobbler crust on the top was so good! It neither too thin or too thick. It was perfect! The taste went really well with the fruit fillings. I definitely recommend their peach! It was not overly sweet, which was just the way I liked it! The cobbler contained chucks of peaches. I also tasted cinnamon! The cherry was just okay. Nothing too special for me. I also tasted cinnamon with the cherry. The boysenberry was very unique out of the three. I found myself just eating the boysenberry filling with a spoon. I felt I could eat it for hours! It was so good! Definitely recommend the peach and boysenberry. Fun Tip! Warm the cobbler up, and eat it with ice cream. I will come back for sure to try the other flavors, and their dinner plates/sandwiches.

I first tried the peach cobbler and mac and cheese at the Century City Farmers Market, long before this shop was in existence - and I've been hooked since. When we moved to the Pasadena area and I found out he had shop, we became regulars. We've gotten the peach cobbler for ourselves, for dinner parties, and as part of hostess baskets when friends move in to the area. I have yet to meet a single person who didn't fall in love at first bite!

I ordered two peach cobblers to serve 100. The cobblers were baked as we waited and then transported by car for four hours and served 3 days later for my mom's celebration of life (she loved your cobbler). The crust remained perfectly stable and was not soggy at all. The owners gave me instructions on how transport and reheat/prep for the 3-day delay and they were spot on. Everyone loved the cobbler-stating it was the best cobbler they had ever had! I was so very happy that my Mom's favorite dessert in Los Angeles could be served to all she loved in her hometown of Madera, California. Thank you, thank you!!

Pasadena, CA Owned an operated in Pasadena since at least the 1980's, I've heard about this cobbler shop from people who would travel over 30 miles to get cobbler from here in the late 80's early 90's WAY before Yelp existed. Fast forward to 2019 and I finally tried this shop after attending an event where it was sold and they ran out. The storefront is nothing fancy, bare bones. The owners who currently run the shop have been running it for about 18 years so they took over after I originally heard rave reviews about this spot. Sadly, I was not impressed with the cobbler varieties we tried, mixed berry, peach, they were too sweet and not a fan of the crust. We bought an apple cobbler for a friend who claims this is the best one, in retrospect we should have gone with the apple too. I understand these are all made by hand and with only fresh fruit. Family owned and operated.

I been here twice, the food here is soooo good, I had the hot links, chicken, greens, Mac and cheese, and sweet potato pie, the restaurant is order and go, can't really sit down and eat here, but still worth going. Great place to get a Sunday Dinner. The owner is so nice. Would I come back, most definitely.

Love, love, love this place. I've been coming here for years so this review is long overdue. This place is a tiny little multi faceted business in Pasadena. First and foremost the family that runs this business are so nice and caring. I always get the best service when I go there. Not only does this place serve the most amazing homemade cobbler you have ever had but they serve BBQ as well. If you haven't tried their BBQ it's a must. Everything is cooked homemade so if they run out of something for the day that's it no more. Their cobbler is amazing as well. They always have seasonal flavors and the traditional cobbler flavors as well. Please support this local business, they deserve it all.

Omg, their desserts are absolutely delicious. Don't just walk - run - to get them. We tried the pecan pie, peach cobbler, and apple cobbler. The pecan pie was probably the best pecan pie I've ever had. Perfectly crispy crust, buttery, addictive filling that wasn't too sweet, toasted pecans - yum. I could eat 20 of these. And the cobblers! Man oh man, the cobblers. So, so good. Both had a great crust with fillings that were just sweet enough, but not too sweet, so you could still taste the fruit flavors. Sometimes cobblers can just taste like sugar, but these weren't like that at all. I can't wait to try the other cobblers and pies, along with the BBQ! Everyone who works there was so kind and lovely. This is also a black-owned business, so make sure to support!

First time here (though been meaning to for awhile) - ordered their peach cobbler in the 8x10 size because definitely wanted to have enough for multiple servings per person in the family LOL. TIP: Highly suggest calling in couple weeks in advance to place an order, especially during holidays. I unsuccessfully called a week before Thanksgiving to find out they were all booked for orders so this time I had a reminder couple weeks before Christmas. There was a wait to pick-up even though everyone in line had pre-ordered due to technological issues checking out, so just be mindful. Was able to find street parking right in front. Cobbler wise, I really liked it! Not too sweet, I like the thick crust (put it in the oven to crisp up the crust) and amount of filling. Gotta try their other flavors next.

Happened to stumble on this place looking for the place with the chocolate croissants. I am so happy we did we got a black berry pie and Mac n cheese. It was amazing. I cannot wait to go back here. I cannot wait to try everything. I cannot wait. The owners were lovely and funny and charming. Did I mention I cannot wait to go back. I literally ate a whole pie and like a pound of Mac n cheese. All home made. All delicious. Amazing!!

I have always walked by this spot and would get overwhelmed with the delicious smell of cobbler. I knew I needed a visit, and I am so disappointed I had waited so long. First off, this place is small, is no frills, and it's definitely a get what get spot. I love it. It is a couple that runs the joint and they can't be bothered with overly decorating and aesthetic. Also, there really are only a couple of tables and chairs located on the outside for customers to enjoy their food, otherwise it is best to take your goodies to go. Next, the food. I had arrived in the late afternoon/ early evening. There was a short line and it appeared they were running low on cobblers. I suggest arriving early to ensure you receive the flavor you want most. When I got there, she had peach, mixed berry, and blackberry cobbler available. The seasonal boysenberry had sold out earlier that day. Also, there were a few stray pecan pies available, but I did not see any sweet potato pie at my visit. They also have a bbq which I did not get to try, but it looked tasty after peering over someone else's food, I definitely need to come back to try it. I opted for a mixed berry and a pecan pie on my visit. Boy did I make the right choices, it was absolutely delicious. My pecan pie was the best I have ever had and the cobbler was out of this world. I only wish I had more. Now for the service. I fell in love with the husband and wife team running the joint. The lady was absolutely hilarious and had such a fun time chatting and interacting with all the customer. She was pure delight. Yes, this place can appear to be a little rough around the edges, but I love supporting business such as these. It was a great experience and great food. I can't wait to come back.

Great little family owned business that has been here for decades. My dad use to take me here to pick up a fresh baked peach cobbler that he liked to eat with vanilla ice cream. I rediscovered it searching black owned businesses to support and I am Uber happy that I did! Peach, cherry, berry cobblers plus pecan and sweet potato pies! All take out from this hole in the wall establishment with down home hospitality. I reheat my cobbler in the oven and top it with ice cream! Plus they have gumbo and bbq dinners as well all to go. Please support your local black owned businesses!

I was here from out of town for rose bowl event. my husband loves a good baked good so found this place online and wanted to try based on reviews. we were disappointed. we got the mixed berry cobbler and actually ended up throwing most of it away. it didn't taste fresh, didn't have much flavor, and was super watery.

Still fabulous after several decades! We picked up a small peach cobbler and a small cherry cobbler this week, along with a small sweet potato pie. My wife ordered a tritip poboy that was also delicious. You really need to treat yourself to these delightful treats, get there early because they run out of goodies all the time.

For me the only place I the SGV where you can get good old fashion, like grandma used to make cobblers!

I was unaware this place even existed, until out of the corner of my eye as I was quickly driving by --- a little place just behind the Academy Theater I found a street parking space and walked into this tiny to-go place. Cobblers, Pies, and BBQ. I went in with the intention of trying the cobbler. I bought one personal size peach and one personal size apple. Both were absolutely delicious. For best results, heat them up for a couple of minutes and if you want, make it a la mode. I would definitely go back for more cobbler. I also want to try the sweet potato and pecan pies. And yes, they serve BBQ. I can't speak to that on my first visit, because I had no idea that they served this until I walked in and saw menus with that information on. Maybe I will try that next time!

This place doesn't really stand out, in terms of the food as well as the physical restaurant. It kind of blends in with the pavement, and the cobblers are hidden in the back of the store. The interior of the store is really small- realistically, only two customers can be inside of the store at a time (adhering to the social distancing guidelines). There's a couple of fans in the store but no air conditioning, and only a few cobblers up on display. I was able to try their Berry Cobbler, but their filling was overtly sweet. You should probably have water or coffee on hand to balance out the sugar. Their cobbler felt like a deep dish pie, just without the bottom crust. Which is unfortunate, because the crust was the best part of the cobbler. The presentation of the cobbler was ok, though the aluminum tray the cobbler was in was sticky due to the berry filling overfilling during baking. Unfortunately, I don't think this place lives up to the "Gourmet" part of their name, but I look forward to trying their savory meals!

The peach cobbler is so yummy, and the pulled pork sandwich is delicious!! A mom and pop shop with excellent service! Great place to get food to go, keep in mind there is no indoor seating.

Came in at 5:30 pm (on a Thursday when they close at 6pm) to get a mixed berry a la mode - Amazing. Warmed up with two scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream it can feed two people for a sweet treat but its perfect for one person too. It was close to closing and they still had a nice selection of pies out. No indoor or outdoor seating so its still only takeout. Two women inside were sweet, 10/10 I'll be back soon cobbler factory...

I love the Gourmet Cobbler Factory. Now I am a connoisseur of Peach Cobbler. O can't bake one, but I know a great one when I taste it. My Brother Gregory Long cooks a great Peach Cobbler, to the point that we fight over it at Thanksgiving. Had to stop by while visiting from Texas. Took two cobblers home to friends we were staying with along with 1/2 gallon of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The flavor is how I remembered it, delicious. Fresh from the oven, these pies were still warm, sweet, juicy, filled with peaches. I love their crust. It's a bit different, but still a Nice compliment to this dish. I would definitely advise to call ahead to check on the inventory at hand. You can also order larger sizes. Great item to bring to dinner with friends or your boss. Parking in Pasadena is frequently patrolled so feed the meter.

I recently moved to the area and discovered this little place while out on a walk. Today, I thought, it's peach season so a cobbler is a must!!! I ordered the cobbler and the pecan pie. The peach cobbler was delicious with a sweet peach filling and a flaky crust. But omg the pecan pie!!! It was perfection and by far the best i've had; not too sweet, just the right amount of vanilla and with roasted, caramelized pecans on top and crunchy flaky baked to perfection crust! I really wish I didn't live within walking distance because I will definitely return multiple times! And the woman who greeted and helped me was the sweetest and an absolute gem. Definitely could not recommend this place more!

My wife and I were at the Huntington Museum and Garden for the afternoon and she had already mentioned that afterwards we would stop by for some peach cobbler a la mode. Luckily we arrived just before closing time. We were somewhat surprised the shop was a very small store, though good things always come in small packages. The owner, a very delightful and friendly woman perhaps in our age range as we're grandparents, was very kind enough to allow us to eat inside which generally is a to go eating establishment. We were extremely happy with the portions and the prices, though nothing compares to the taste bud delight we both had devouring the peach cobbler and ice cream. We hope to be back in a few months or sooner and will order the same and a sweet potato pie to go.

Located on the unassumming corner of a building. Love this find! Very homemade feel to their apple cobbler, and definitely worth the price. Call ahead for sizes greater than the standard 4x6, for which they have several ready to purchase off the shelf.

Lovely family owned business with delicious desserts. Recommend the peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, and pecan pie.
