My aunt told me several years ago about the grape pie and how good it was but we didn’t have time to stop. Fortunately, I was able to return this year in late August with my boyfriend and we got to come get one. I wish I could’ve bought some and brought them home to Florida with me! So good!! Everyone was very nice inside. Definitely recommend.
Pies are good, but staff was down right rude. When the lady answered, it was like we were interrupting her day. We started looking around and she seemed annoyed.
When we inquired about pies she was again rude. Do you want small or large, fresh or frozen. Ok $21 now get the heck out, is how we felt. No welcome, no thanks, and rushed us out as soon as she could. As soon as we walked out, we wanted to walk back in and hand the pie back and apologize for inconvenincing her.
We come here once a year, always get a Monica's pie. Never had this experience before.
Locals adore Monica's Pies and I've been going for years. Larger selection is usually sold out during busy fall season. Excellent Concord Grape pies.
We went to the Grapefest today and tried a grape pie from Cindy's located there. It was incredibly good. We went back to buy some more and they were sold out. I can see why. This brings me to Monica's Pies just a few short miles down the road. Her pies cost more and they had an abundance of pies available. We came home excited expecting a similar taste. This was so disappointing because these 2 different pie brands couldn't have been more different tasting. Cindy's pies taste much more fresh and natural while Monica's Pies tastes like artificial pie filling. Don't just take my word for it and try Cindy's Pies for yourself and then come back here and give a review. In the meantime anyone is welcome to stop over for an almost full Monica's grape pie. Why consume empty calories without the satisfaction? Thanks for listening!
Good pies, jams,etc.
Come for the pies, not the service. Door is locked until you come calling. Interesting way to have a food business. But yummy stuff and so unique.
Monica is famous because she makes great pies. I am impressed with the pies. Very good, especially the grape.
Unique pie shop (selling jams and a few gifts as well) famous for their fresh grape pie (which is a bit sweet, but pretty good) and frozen chicken pot pie. They also offer a seasonal selection of fresh fruit pies baked daily. There's no cafe, but there is a portable facility in the parking lot.
Purchased a Grape & a Raspberry pie. They tasted great! You'll get 5 stars when you accept Debit/Credit cards. Pies are great, but not cheap. Bring cash.
My bf and I had to stop here after learning about grape pies being a staple of this region. Of course we did survey multiple people throughout our trip to determine who owned the 'best' grape pie in the area; the votes were split and we tried Monica's due to it's proximity to our cabin and the whole Food Network appearance drew me a little closer.
Never had grape pie, nor did we hear about it before our trip, so didn't set any particular expectations but this turned out to be a little too sweet for our palettes and not something we'd rave about (glad to have tried it though!). On the other hand, their caramel apple nut crunch pie was AMAZING. We both took one back home for our respective families and it was such a hit. Only wish I bought more for gifts.
We heard so much about Monica's pies that we just had to buy a few. The Dutch Apple pie is wonderful. Next time we'll taste the grape pie too. Great local bakery!
Great key lime and grape pies. Nice selection, not cheap though.
They lose a star for not taking credit cards. Its crazy not to take credit cards when your dealing with pricey touristy items that are impulse buys.
Was not pleased with the pie. Filling is more of a jelly that seems to be squirted into a pre made crust. The crust is not homemade. It's not worth the drive and I have had better pie else where.
I really want to give this place 5 stars but sadly the CS we received was not ideal. It was good but the vibe wasn't as I had expected from a small town pie shop that has a great rep.
The pies though are outstanding. The flavors are great and their assorted sizes were great for having a little bite or more if desired.
