Baked From The Hart

I can not advocate for this pie shop enough. From Richmond va and this location brings those southern recipies i grew up with that brings me "home". I have come here for every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Birthday for the last 7 years. The blackberry is smooth as velvet which if u know blackberry pies u know how hard that is to achieve. If you read this far- just buy a pie and thank me later. And the banana pudding!!! Ohhhhh so good!!!!!

This review is solely about Bill Hart’s attitude and the one star reflects the redeeming friendly attitude his daughter provided to my husband. About a month ago my husband and I tried to place an order for a Thanksgiving pumpkin pie online, and we sincerely thought the order had gone through. My husband went to pick it up today to learn it didn’t actually submit. Bill was handling the online orders while his daughter helped walk-ins -when my husband approached him he was incredibly rude and dismissive. I understand the holidays are hectic but my husband didn’t come in aggressively to warrant eye rolls and a horrible attitude. He stepped outside so we could figure out what happened and he ended up purchasing a pie in person. As he was checking out, Bill looked at him and rolled his eyes at him again. Completely unwarranted. If I had been there, I wouldn’t have purchased the pie after such disrespect.

This place was such a hidden gem! There were so many wonderful options to pick from and they all sounded so delicious. We ended up getting the tropical pie, sweet potato pie, and banana pudding cheesecake. All three were so so delicious! I also loved the size of them, they would perfect and not too much. I liked that as I was able to try a couple options. Good thing I don’t live close by or I would be there everyday!

One of the best cheesecakes I think I’ve ever had! I got the mini blueberry cobbler cheesecake and it was so creamy and delicious. The berry flavor was so well incorporated, I couldn’t get enough! Everyone working there was so nice! There were so many options I’m definitely going back to try! Parking right next to the shop might be a bit hard, but there’s plenty of street parking down the road and it’s an easy walk.

Baked from the Hart makes some really good pies. I heard about them a couple years ago but only just popped by looking for some sweet potato pie. I placed my order online and while it was a little arbitrary when I could pick up the pies, a quick phone call cleared everything up. I visited and picked up my order of a medium sweet potato pie as well as sweet bean, tropical chess, pumpkin pie, peach cobbler, and apple pie tarts. All of the pies were delicious. The crusts were rich and buttery, and some were nice and crispy. The sweet potato pie was the right amount of sweetness and the spices were not overpowering. The tropical chess had an intriguing mix of coconut, lemon, and lime flavors which did evoke a tropical vibe. My favorite overall though was the sweet bean pie. I have never had a bean pie, but I've gotta say I wish more people sold these things because it was sweet and had a wonderful blend of spices - evoked fall flavors. One thing to note is that the pies come in three sizes: regular, medium, and tart. The medium size is maybe 5 inches in diameter and the tarts are the size of the plastic ramekins that you see ketchup and tartar sauce in. The sizes may seem small for the price but the flavor is worth it. I personally think $5 to $7.50 is a fair price in Seattle when you see cake slices from higher-end places going for about $5-7 as well. One last thing to note is that the person I talked to, Guyana (apologies if I got her name wrong), is extremely friendly and personable. She made me feel very welcome. I recommend paying a visit sometime.
