On the Grid : The Pie Hole

"Not many places nail a specialty like the Pie Hole does. Something as sinful as a slice of Mexican Chocolate pie washed down with a glass of milk shouldn't be so readily available. If you're not in the mood for sweets (then why are you here?) get the kale salad and the beef pot pie for something more savory (and lunch appropriate). If you're in a need of a pick-me-up, Pie Hole also doubles as a coffee spot. Take it to go, or set up shop outside and watch the locals that live above at the American Hotel." - verynice

If you're into fresh tasting pies and good coffee, here you go. A decent selection of pies and breakfast options- pot pies for breakfast (of course) - personally the chicken tasted better than the beef - the place is humble, nothing too exotic, the desserts is what keeps the place popping. Highly recommend for a date or hang out spot, but traffic is he'll being close to downtown, and of course it's a little more pricey than buying it market, but does taste way better though

I found myself never questioning my addiction to sugar again. The area that they’ve carved out of what was once more industrial and urbanized area quite walkways, and a beautiful shop called the pie hole. Only this is one pie hole you will not want to shut. I also had to try the Buffalo chicken and My, which is absolutely delicious. If you get heated up do it a few minutes cool down seating is plenty for here it’s so incredibly nice so you said some sterilize Norman Rockwell or something.

Delicious sweet pie (haven’t tried their savoury). The inside is very cool and has great design. I like their pie pint that is basically ice cream mixed with a lot of sweet stuff. Haven’t try their coffee but the menu looks good. Free street parking was very hard to find though. There was a few lots cost $4-10 per 30mins-1hr.

This was such a lovely spot. They offer a variety of different kinds of pies and treats. You can grab and go or enjoy the outside dining. The staff is very friendly and helped me to narrow down some choice goodies. The inside is not available for dining just yet, however you can walk in and order. Definitely good treats for a suprise or if you want to grab some dessert on the weekend.

Made my first visit on π day and was terribly disappointed. ordered a latte, lemon cheesecake and caramel apple pie. Lemon cheesecake was more like cream pie. Too soft to be called cheesecake and the lemon flavor was "off" and had an unnatural aftertaste. The caramel apple pie was better but a tiny bit too sweet. Latte was fine. Everything else looked good behind the glass but I doubt I'll return.

Whoa, yum. Had no idea what to order so I picked a Pie Pint and ended up with the Honey Custard flavor. Wow. It was delicious! Definitely shareable, huge chunks of pie in there, and ice cream. Great flavor, I’m definitely going back to try as much as I can. This neighborhood is REALLY cool - great to take a walk from here down to One Santa Fe and see what they’re doing there, then walk back through the Aliso Apartments and pay attention as you walk through - the amenities there make me want to move NOW! Plus, it’s right by Pie Hole. ;)

Not sure if we came on the wrong time of the day but it was not worth it. Also extremely overpriced for bad pie. Grabbed a few pieces of pie to dine in and was disappointed at how hard and stale some pies were. Apple pie was bland and just hard to eat so i tossed mine away. The chocolate one was the best one. Some pieces were cut larger than the other. Service was nice and because they over made the pie holes, they gave some to us for free. They were also a mix where some were bland and stale while others were more bearable. I love pie and was so disappointed with this place. Do not recommend.

We’ve been to this bakery a couple of times. they have a selection of gourmet pies and a food menu and assorted coffee. The slices of pie we tried were delicious. this establishment is located in the Arts District of Los Angeles. The place is unique, there’s outside dining .The service is friendly and courteous. it does get crowded on the weekends parking is a little difficult. Hopefully you’ll get a stall at a pay parking lot.

I love the pie-hole. I feel bad because every time I go here, I am always tipsy. But this is a safe place to sober up with their pie and their coffee. This place makes me smile. I got their pecan pie warmed up, it tastes fresh, and the pecans are crispy and sweet but not too sweet. Not pictured but I also got to try the apple pie and that one was also very fresh and delicious. You can never go wrong with the slices here. The coffee here is very good as is their hot chocolate. It's not the best but when you are sobering up, its wonderful. The service is also lovely as well. Everyone is very nice. At 9pm on a Sunday night, this is the best place to be to get some desert and maybe sober up a bit before going home in an uber.

My friends and I were having a birthday dinner at a nearby restaurant. Let's just say we had a few drinks and stumbled out of there. We turned the corner and, like out of a movie, we saw a sign. We giggled at the name at first, maybe cause of the drinks, but mostly out of immaturity. We had no idea what this place was and at the time, I don't think a lot of people did. They had just opened that year. It was late and it was the perfect place to literally stumble upon. What would make this great night even greater? A slice of pie and a cup of coffee. Surprisingly there was a line just out the door...it was close to midnight. When we got inside, all the pies (they had left) were laid out in the glass case. At the time, the options were limited to their staples...apple...Mexican chocolate...and I forget the others. Reading the menu, I was immediately drawn to the Mexican chocolate. The almost dark chocolate filling was firm, but smooth and silky...not too sweet and the right amount of bitter. The graham cracker crust crumbles as the fork slices through it, but stays in tact to give the perfect, buttery texture with every bite. There's a whipped cream on top infused with espresso. You'd think it'd make it more bitter, but it really brightens up and compliments the chili spiced filling. To this day, it's my go to slice even though their menu has expanded with newer, interesting flavors. We walked out of there better than when we walked in and it was a feeling replicated every time we came back. In a night that easily could have been forgettable, a slice of pie made it memorable forever.

Pie hole used to be my go-to spot for the earl grey pie, and I still remember how delicious it was the first time. The rich flavors of the earl grey mousse, paired with the dark chocolate base and flaky crust were phenomenal. I hadn't been back in a while, so I was super excited to grab a slice. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing and tasted different than before! The earl grey flavors were subtle, the pistachio pieces tasted slightly burnt, and the crust was so, so stale.. I really hope this was an off experience. Not only were there taste issues, the price had increased to $8.25 and the portions had gotten smaller. I'm giving what's really a 3.5 rating a 4 because of my previously positive experiences and from the friendly service I received.

The apple crumb and early grey were my favorites. The mango chimoy one was interesting but not my favorite, it was more savory than sweet but still worth the try. Pricier but way tastier than pies from Marie calendars or any other mass produced pie shop. The owner was really nice. And the ambiance is hipster and rustic. Def going back to try the other flavors.

Love this spot! Always have great pies if you're craving something sweet. Parking can be tricky since it's street parking but if you're patient you can usually find a spot. The Earl Grey pie is their most popular and that one is really subtle and isn't too sweet. Mexican chocolate is straight chocolate and almost thick.

TL;DR Very kind and thoughtful customer service, highly recommend stopping by if you're around! A delightful Sunday night adventure unfolded as our group of friends embarked on a culinary journey at this hidden gem. Our taste buds were tantalized by the enchanting Earl Grey Pie, a slice of heaven that we intended to share amongst the three musketeers. To our surprise, the benevolent owner/waiter bestowed upon us an extra slice, elevating our experience to a symphony of flavors. The Earl Grey Pie danced on our palates with a symphony of sweetness, intricately intertwined with the robust bergamot oil essence of Earl Grey, adorned with a creamy topping crescendo and a sprinkle of pistachio magic. The pie's sturdy crust played a harmonious duet with the luscious filling, creating a culinary masterpiece that left us yearning for an encore. Not content with just pie indulgence, we also ventured into the drinks realm with a matcha lavender latte. While the matcha notes sang a strong melody, the lavender undertones provided a subtle harmony, creating a duet that serenaded our taste buds with each sip. Nestled in the heart of coziness, the ambiance embraced us with its spacious warmth. From intimate two-seated tables to inviting couches, the setting offered a canvas for friendship and laughter. In this gastronomic haven, every bite and sip were not just a treat for the senses but a symposium of delight, leaving us with memories as rich as the flavors we savored.

I was hyped up about this place. The aesthetics is inviting and who doesn't like pie! Great location; The Art District! Parking: I always say, it's LA which means meters, lot parking or if you're lucky and find a curb spot more power to you Let's get to the review, I ordered the crumble apple . No flavorful wah! And for $7 I wanted that flavor. I also ordered a dirty chai - it did the job

12/14 placed a pick up order for last Christmas . 12/18 Party was cancelled because of Covid. 12/18 Called store to cancel order, spoke with Dani. 12/18 Emailed to cancel through website contact form. 12/21 got a vm from store manager, Sonny confirming cancellation. Spoke with him to confirm as well. 12/25 credit card charged Store disputing my dispute. They claimed I was a no-show. Hummm... Tried several times to get a hold of someone other than a barista ( no offense to them, this is just above their pay grade) . Unable to speak with anyone who has the authority to make decisions. So here I am. Still working with credit card company. Hoping to leave the courts out of this. It wasn't a small order. Anyone???Any ideas ????

I am not a pie person. If it is there I will definitely eat it but I won't go out of my way to get pie. My friend is a big pie person which is how I found myself at the Pie Hole. The first time we went to the Arts District location they were out of a lot of options due to a change in ownership. My friend ended up ordering the Mexican Chocolate slice (~$9) and I some pie holes. She fell in love with the Mexican Chocolate pie. A decadent slice to be sure, definitely to be share or eaten over a period of time. I, as a non pie person, found it intoxicating. Intense chocolate via the smooth and thick ganache, a thick layer of whipped cream and a touch of espresso. It packs a punch. The pie holes were fine but paled in comparison to the Mexican Chocolate flavor bomb. Depending on when you go, parking can be difficult since this location is in the heart of the Arts District. If you find yourself in the area and looking for something sweet, I would suggest popping in for a slice.

Love the pies from here! Unique pie flavors. My favorite is the earl grey tea pie. It has dark and white chocolate ganache with whipping cream. The crust is flakey with a great pie crust flavor. Service is super friendly too. Parking can be a pain but there's a free parking garage down the street. You can also pre order ahead of time online!

WHEN: Sun @12:45pm (New Year's Day) It was not busy today or at least at this time. So there was plenty of seating in the lovely parklet. It didn't cover much from the drizzle weather but it was better than nothing! PARKING: Since it wasn't busy, we lucked out with free street parking just around the corner! Here's what we had: EARL GREY TEA - $8.49 This Earl Grey Tea Pie starts out with a layer of tea infused dark chocolate ganache. The next layer comes as a layer of salty pistachios and then filled with a heap of tea infused white chocolate mousse. The pie is then topped with house made vanilla whipped cream and more pistachios. Also served on Mom's crust which lends more crispy flaky layers to the pie. This is why I come here. I love this pie so much! You definitely taste the earl grey flavor and the consistency in both the filling and whipped topping is perfect--nothing runs! Though I do notice a change: There is less whipped cream topping. It only covers 60% of the slice instead of 85% now (this coverage includes the crust). There's also less pistachios--it's not gonna look like the photos on the website. Great place for pies--both savory and sweet and they have a cute outdoor seating area (parklet).

No idea how I have lived in DTLA for as long as I have but only recently (finally) got to try the pies here. On a whim, stacked a DoorDash meal order with an add-on as I was in the mood for something sweet. I have a weakness for pecan pie and the salted caramel pecan pie jumped out at me. Oh...my... I can't explain how perfectly decadent this was. Sweet, yes, but just absolute buttery goodness without being overwhelming. I savored every bite, then became hooked on noting other options for next time. They have both sweet and savory options but I'm still working through just the sweet portion. And wouldn't you know it, not even a day or so later complemented yet another takeout meal with dessert from here, this time adding the Earl Grey pie which was also delightful, every pillowy bite. Definitely worth checking out.

I've been hearing nonstop rave reviews for the Earl Grey Pie from Pie Hole for a while now and I finally gave it a try! Though it wasn't my cup of tea, I did see how it would be a popular item and it IS very unique. I originally chose the Peach Handpie but they were sold out of MOST options- they're obviously very popular, so I chose to get the Apple Crumble. Though the softness of the apple filling wasn't consistent - it has definitely earned a spot in my top three pies. They make ginormous pieces, and don't skimp on the toppings. The crumble that covered the top was AMAZING. Crunchy, yet soft. It had oats and cinnamon and the crust had the perfect structure to keep the pie together! Definitely will be back for that peach pie!!

Whenever I am in downtown LA, I always stop at the pie hole!! it's such is it downtown staple that you don't want to mess! They have happy hour, and I only paid six dollars for my pie. The place is super spacious and clean! There are so many pie flavor is to choose from, but I always tend to stick with what I know and that is a pecan pie, the apple pie, the earl grey pie. You can order a slice or whole pie (which I usually get when I'm visiting a friends place so I don't come empty handed)

I've had a Earl grey tea pie and it has perfect amount of sweetness and full flavor to it. The staff was very nice and it has a good amount of seatings indoor and outdoors. The only downside for me was the crust, it was a bit hard for me and hard to cut the crust part with a plastic fork. I recommend it if you like pies in general.

My friends and I were planning tp get ice cream and stumbled upon pie hole. The staffs were really nice because it was 13 mins before closing. So, we hurried and order so they could close up. We got the cereal pie and earl grey pie. Cereal pie is perfect for those with a sweet tooth. It was super sweet and milk would compliment each other. Maybe they were in a hurry but they used the same knife to cut the cereal pie to cut earl grey pie so my friends earl grey pie was overpowered but the sweetness of the cereal pie *they dont have gluten free options*

Man, I feel bad as the pie was so good that it was gone before we realized to take a photo. This is the real deal when it comes to the best pie you may ever eat. They have around 20 different options for you to eat while here, ranging from savory to sweet to even in a jar! We got an earl grey tea pie, a cereal cheesecake, and a blueberry crumble. Each of them was insane and delicious. Come here if you want to experience the best pies you may ever eat.

The earl grey cream pie is incredible!! Breaking it down into its layers from bottom up: crust, tea-infused dark chocolate, tea-infused white chocolate mousse, vanilla whipped cream, pistachio bits. This pie is light and creamy; perfect for afternoon tea or late night dessert. As much as I love the earl grey slices, all the pies here are overpriced. Definitely a dessert for a treat yourself day. Pro tip: Order ahead on their website for easy grab and go!

Sure, the pies are expensive, but they're so, so good. There's an indoor seating area, and the servers bring the pie and drinks out to you based on your name. I'd say it's worth coming if you're getting a whole pie for a special occasion. The individual slices are pretty small.

Confused... vegetarian? I ordered a couple of pies after the person working the counter assured me they were vegetarian, and claimed she was as well. But then later someone has mentioned they all had gelatin in the pies... so... confused.. Got the earl grey, brownie, tiramisu and key lime... Now questioning what we ate.

This place is wonderful. My first time in I just had to try the Abuelita's Chocolate Pie and see what all the hype was about. This place was recommended by some relatives that live in the LA area. Now every time I visit the area I take a whole pie. The pies are a bit pricy but so worth it. Every time I visit the pies and other baked goods look delightful, the ambiance is vibing, and staff is friendly. Can't complain about anything everything I've tried has been so darn tasty. This establishment is located in the Arts District of Los Angeles Highly recommend for a date or hang out spot. Free street parking is very hard to find.

Haven't been in so many years, but got to order a whole pie of the Earl Grey last month to pick up at 5pm to take home. I remember the Earl Grey pie was fantastic when I first tried it many years ago. This time I felt it somehow lacked the earl grey flavor pop to it, not sure why, was more of the cream taste with less of the earl grey taste (hopefully wasn't covid loss of smell/taste? jk). The novelty factor is still there of course and it's a treat for special occasion at this price level, since I haven't found any other earl grey flavor pies (not that I've searched for any pies...). But then again it was a premium priced pie many years ago too, so just have to pay to eat it period. There was some 20% off coupon for signing up/phone#, which made the pie a little more reasonable. So if haven't signed up before, do it to save the 20%. They don't text too much and you can just unsubscribe after if don't want. That being said, trying to get to this area for 5pm pick up was a challenge. It was a Tuesday, but there was something going on around the area with streets being blocked off and what not. Made me coming up Alameda to turn east get blocked at this street and that street and ended up forcing me to go all the way east and then try to go south, ended up south of 4th street before turning back up to get to the Pie Hole from the south side. The counter folks told me there are lots of events that happen, so maybe this is a frequent thing (got caught on a Tuesday) and not just weekends, so you may want to call them to check if there is any event in the area if going there around 5pm. If there is some event happening, be sure to hit the place from the S/E side of the store, since the N/W streets will all be blocked. A map attached to help you (take the green routes, avoid red area)

I LOVE the Pie Hole!!! I love it so much that this is my second visit in as many days in two different locations! All the pies look soooooo good but I just can't resist the Blueberry Pecan Crumble! OMG it is sooooo good!!!! Did I want to have it warmed? Yes so much please! Would I like to pay $.95 for a scoop of vanilla ice cream? Shut up & take my money now! This warm Blueberry pie with the ice cream melting into it is so decadent and you must try it :) My Son had the Cereal Killer pie which he said was better than it sounds LOL We both had coffee, me a Cortado & him a Salted Carmel Latte. The coffee here is very good especially for a place that doesn't bill itself as a coffee shop. The clerk taking our order was so friendly and helpful. After taking our order he offered to bring it out to us. He even included an extra slice of pie after overhearing that it was my son's birthday :) If you know the area you know the parking is terrible in general. But there is a small pay parking lot down the street where we were able to find a spot. There is some inside dining but there is also a street patio in front where we enjoyed our treats in comfort under a large awning.

I'm disappointed with their popular pie (earl grey pie). $8/baby slice is a rip off for the quality. The filling isn't bad but the crust tasted grocery store produced. They don't have many options while I was there and was hoping to get something for birthday. The cashier was nice and patient but overall I'd pass on this spot.

It's been years since I've been to this location Decided to pay them a visit since the Glendale Americana location closed and I used to always go there My husband and I were excited to get our favorite slices salted caramel pecan and apple crumble but we were both left disappointed The salted caramel pecan lacked caramel how they used to make it and they asked me if I wanted it warm I love cold pecan pie but instant regret not taking there offer to warm it up because it was not refrigerator cold it tasted freezer cold it wasn't frozen but it was really cold I've never had pie that cold Apple crumble lacked sweetness and the apples were very bitter my husband didn't like it and didn't even finish it Overall location was clean staff was nice but the taste wasn't worth the price this time

Such a cute pie hole location! Lots of outdoor patio seating & free wifi! Finding parking is the hardest in Arts District but I was able to find metered parking and stayed to do some work in the patio. The workers are very kind and bring out your pie, they also give lots of recommendations which is helpful. The earl grey is a fan fav but this time I got the seasonal Valentine's Day themed chocolate covered strawberry pie. The pies here are all veryyyyy sweet so I can only take a few bites & it's perfect for sharing. The strawberry mousse filling was perfect & I loved the crust! The hibiscus drink is also refreshing and fruity. I'll def be back with to try more pies bc everything looks so good! Great dessert spot after exploring arts district!

The pie hole is really good bakery from LA that opened recently in del Mar and Pacific Beach inside gelson's supermarkets. Definitely better than the typical grocery store bakeries you would find. As the name suggests, big selection of pies along with pie holes which are like donut holes, they also have cinnamon rolls and other baked goods, cookies etc. As well as savory pies like shepherd's pie and others. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the store and want something sweet or savory to eat.

The Earl Grey pie is super good! My fiancé said it kinda tasted like fruity pebbles lol but he still really enjoyed it. The crust is different from a lot of other pies I've had. It was very difficult to grab a bite with my fork so I just picked it up and ate it like a pizza slice. I also ordered the "Vietnamese Coffee" and it was a huge disappointment. It was missing major components from of what Vietnamese coffee is supposed to have. My friend ordered the Matcha Latte cause it seemed to be very popular and unfortunately again it was a disappointment. It tasted basically like plain milk. I'd like to come back and try some other pies (both sweet and savory) but I don't think I'd ever order drinks from here again!

Pies are basic/standard. If you want a whole pie, it's about $45. Not sure what the hype is. I've been here a few times before my last visit with friends but still wasn't impressed by anything. It's one of those places you stop by after a meal in the Arts District since dessert places are limited in the area unless you venture towards Little Tokyo. Some pies are super sweet. Outdoor seating is available and social distancing is enforced inside. There's parking available in various lots around the general area or metered parking.

~review for the earl grey pie only~ must go!!! i've never seen a place that sells earl grey pie and had to get a few slices (each slice was around $8 and a whole pie $45). very worth trying out. the earl grey flavor is strong but not overpowering and the whipped cream on top makes it so much better. there's also some chocolate layer between the crust and filling and i love that it adds texture to the pie. i will definitely be coming back for the earl grey pie and to try some others as well

I love the new Pie Hole vibe! The staff is super friendly, and although they are known for delicious pie, their coffee is surprisingly awesome too! This spot is now cuter than ever with a bit of a fresh look. Definitely a good spot to hangout and enjoy something delicious.

This place has gone down hill. What the helk happened? Pies are served in plastic containers rather than plates. The restroom needs work. They had no toilet paper or paper towels. Why is this place neglected?

I've been coming to Pie Hole for years and have always had decent to excellent customer service. Everything they offer is great, including their expresso/coffee menus and teas, not to mention their selection of pies that still taste great if purchased and frozen to be enjoyed at a later date. The location in Little Tokyo is probably the most consistent in their offerings. I've found, however, that quality of food and service varies by location. On more than one occasion in the post pandemic era, I've ordered several ice teas that looked cloudy (when the drink is usually clear) and bitter. The last time it happened, I showed the service clerk the beverage, she mentioned that it was the last of the pitcher and that it usually looked that way. She did not offer to brew a new batch. I proceeded to request a different beverage and she charged me for the second item. The pies also use to taste better but it hasn't been the same since. The crust has a harder bite to it and the earl grey pie is not quite as pronounced in its flavor--just subtle and too sweet. This place is a hit or miss.

The Yelp Review: Like pie? Like coffee? Like hanging out in the Arts District? What are you waiting for? * * * End of Review * * * Technical Documentation: First Impression: At 6:30 pm, I went to Pie Hole and had a horchata latte and a slice of Mexican Chocolate pie. The pie came in a cardboard box. The cardboard box was one of the less aesthetic platings I have seen. So, I had my reservations at first. On tasting, the first impression was that the pie was not knock your socks off orgasmic the way some pies can be. * * * Footnote: Early sex writers were wrong in thinking that the two types of orgasm were vaginal and clitoral. Vaginal, supposedly, was the good one. Current psychophysiological research shows that the two types of orgasm are sexual and pie. Pie is the good one. * * * Second Impression: This Mexican pie did not set off the pleasure centers all over my body. But I inhaled my pie in less than 45 seconds. Any pie that gets eaten in 45 seconds Is probably a pretty good pie. My horchata latte went down in 90 seconds rather than 45. You can make your own assessment of the horchata latte. The pie seemed light. The pie seemed small. But I was not even remotely hungry again until after midnight. After leaving the Pie Hole, I was at a wonderful reception where they were passing around plate after plate of marvelous appetizers and snacks. I had zero interest whatsoever. That one piece of pie was all I needed all night. And this was a pie that was as light as a feather. * * * Conclusion: There is clearly, some kind of Magical Artistry going on with the pies at Pie Hole. Never say no to Magical Artistry.

Yeah they specialize in pies and they are great but the coffee tastes like dirt water. Almost chocked on how bad it was and decided to get some hot water to go with my pie. They didn't even apologize but admitted their "coffee maker" hasn't been cleaned in 2 months.

The Pie Hole is just the best. They have everything you can think of to put in pie crust. Of course, they have pies, the ones they have to differ, but they always seem to have apple and it is great. Beyond there great pies, you can have dinner there. They have the best chicken pot pie, some days they have mac and cheese pie and it is so wonderful. I am hoping they will add seating so we can dine there. I just love it.
