This adorable and ultra popular pie shop, set up in a restored craftsman bungalow--is one of the sweetest attractions in the Bishop Arts neighborhood. Pie mavens, Megan Wilkes and Mary Gauntt, offer a rotating roster of seasonally flavored pies that run the gamut from old fashioned buttermilk to a banana custard topped with maple and caramel. Their signature picks include the Smooth Operator, a French silk chocolate with a pretzel crust and the Lord of Pies, a deep dish apple streusel delight. They'll package it for you to-go in a wooden basket accompanied with a wooden fork or you can have a seat in the shop and enjoy a slice with ice cream on top.
EXPERT TIPS BY:
Ilene Jacobs
Dallas Local Expert
- Bakeries, Dessert: "Go early to avoid the lines, or try their other location in McKinney."
- Bishop Arts District's Best Restaurants: "Go early to avoid the lines, but even if there is a line, these pies are worth waiting for. If you want to purchase a whole pie, rather then just a slice, order it in advance to ensure it will be there when you come."
- Best for Bakeries Because: Without a doubt, Emporium Pies offers the best pies in Texas.
- Best for Dessert Because: Emporium has taken the humbleness out of pies and made them into something seriously sublime.
- Best for Bishop Arts District's Best Restaurants Because: A visit to Bishop Arts isn't complete without a stop at Dallas' best pie shop.
