pies! simple things in la, on 3rd street.
we came here and grabbed an early bite before a show last weekend. i lOve pies, savory and sweet, so when we walked by, i had to try it out.
simple white decor, brown paper and crayons. clean + quaint.
i started with tomato soup. thick, nice roasted flavor, but a tad bit on the salty side for me.
i got the organic chicken pot pie. it. was. delicious. with arugula salad on the side.
the savory filling was excellent, with huge pieces of chicken, almost coming out on my fork in strips. hearty, with a great creamy flavor.
for dessert, i tried two mini pies, the 2″ banana cream, and the cherry pie. both were okay, not especially amazing.. the banana cream was simple, with a crumble crust and a slice of banana with pudding. the cherry was sweet, and not tart enough for my liking. maybe the flavors weren’t as accurate because of the mini size..? i might try the bigger pie next time, to give it another chance.
b had the pumpkin whoopie pie, which he enjoyed.
the savory pies were excellent, the sweet pies fell a bit short after my expectations were raised.
overall a cute easy place to grab a bite.
