    As someone who grew up on savory pies, such as Cornish pasties, Shepard and mince meat pies, I have to say this is the best I’ve had in a long time. The Aussie meat pie was fantastic. The mince had great flavor, and the pastry was puffy and flakey. I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad sausage roll, but the one here was excellent. Lastly, the breakfast pie was decent, but felt it missed the flakiness that make the mince pie so great. If you’re in the area, and craving some delicious pastries or a variety of coffee options, Pop Pie Co. is the place for you!

    Consider Pop Pie as a coffe shop and not just a dessert place. The other 2 coffee shops had longer lines so I walked down Park Ave to this place. In the beverage department there are coffees, teas and hot choc. Coffee here is just as good but the pastries are way better here. Besides pies there are other pastries. There are also meat pies if you want to make a meal out of it. The interior is newer and has a cleaner look and feel than some of the other places nearby. I had the salted caramel pie which I rate an 8 out of 10. This was my first visit. I recommend coming here first for coffee.

    Found this place online decided to swing by randomly after a trip to the airport. There's some construction down there so parking is tight. Don't try and be slick and park illegally because parking enforcement is all up and down that street. This place is super cute clean everyone is so nice They have a cute space to dine in. You can get take out and they have frozen takeaway. I got Classic Chicken, Hog& Cheese, and Steak & Ale. I also got a sausage roll It's going down. They also have a selection of hot and cold drinks as well as teas and coffees. Masks are required... Update after I try..

    Yum yum yum. They really know how to make a savory pie! We got the classic chicken pot pie, pork & cheese and steak & ale pies. I really appreciate how these looked. They were literally hot coming out of the oven and looked like they were made fresh in small batches. Now for the taste. It was great! The filling was cooked just right and it wasn’t over cooked. The highlight for me was the crust. It was crunchy on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. It really complements the fillings which I really appreciated. If there was one thing that could elevate these pies: they should pair them with some unique sauces. The normal ketchup/mustard is kinda boring, but a nice reduction or glaze would really step these pies up. Overall, I had a great time eating these and the service was even better!

    First timer. Came in after reading reviews. We had chicken pot pie and vegetable pot pie along with lavender lemonades. Everything was so good! Crusty yummy pies with delicious fillings. Lunch for two at $36 including tip. Totally hit the spot! We will definitely be back.

    SUCH a great little spot. The savory pies are great. I have yet to try the sweet ones. I usually get the Green Hog, a Chile Verde pork pie. The classic chicken pie is delicious, the herb sauce they use is so good, and the pastry is flaky and delicious. They have a yellow curry veggie pie, also great flavors and hearty. The mashed potatoes are really yummy, i think they put sour cream in them but please don't hold me to that. From their sweet selection, I did try a couple of cookies, oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip. They are nice, large cookies. The apple pies-cream is genius! It's a slice of their apple pie in a cup with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel. They have a good selection of coffee drinks that look and sound amazing as well. Definitely recommend!

    This place is definitely a spot to return to over and over. The customer service was top notch and super friendly. I ordered the red pork pot pie and it was delicious (photo of it attached). My husband got their green hog and he devoured it. The sausage roll is highly recommended by me. We each bought a piece of quiche to warm up at home (haven't had the pleasure of eating it yet). My hubby said their eggnog cream pie is a seasonal must for now on.

    I love the pies here, I've been many times! The chicken is a classic and is always delicious. The breakfast pie is also really tasty. I also like to get some of the frozen pies to throw in my freezer, there's a deal if you buy 5. They make great easy meals!

    This is a cute/ trendy place. Nice vibe. We had several items, chicken pot pie, breakfast pie, sausage roll and rhubarb pie. Also had a mocha coffee. Cute concept. Store was clean, service was good (restroom was very clean). Most items cost around $9, my coffee was $6. Everything was good but I can't say it was great. Tasty but nothing spectacular. The mocha choice however was very good. My taste buds may just like a bit more "zing" than I found here but nothing was bad. All in all I'd go back but I don't know that I'd go way out of my way.

    Ordered a slice of the veggie quiche and key lime pie. I would not recommend the quiche, mushrooms were too chewy for personal taste. Overall kinda dry and small slice for $7. Not a fan of the crust on either slice. Key lime pie filling and whip was delicious but again something about this bland crust doesn’t do it for me. Call in order was filled within timely manner, they were busy for late lunch hour and packed up order a few minutes after I arrived.

    This was my first visit to this restaurant, prior I ordered twice online. The chicken pie was really good along with the tasty crust. What I really enjoyed most, was their creamy corn side dish. As for dessert, it looked as if all the pies were freshly baked and the slice of apple pie I ordered, was really good…

    Amazing Pot Pies, so many fantastic flavors including veggie only (with scrumptious mushrooms and brussel sprouts). I go all the time and they are always awesome. The pies are super and they even serve beer, wine, coffee, tea too! The neighborhood is nice, parking is usually convenient. Take your doggie, they are always welcome! The staff is really great, get your enjoyable, filling, pot pies at Pops!

    It's hard for me to give 5 stars but this place is amazing. The food is great and is definitely comfort food. We ate there and then got a 5 pack of frozen to take home, you know how when you take a pizza to bake from somewhere and it doesn't turn out like in store well this isn't anything like that, the home bake products come put just as delicious as in store.

    Very full and satisfied. The staff were very nice and helpful. We had the Classic Chicken, the steak and ale, and the key lime pie. The Chicken was my favorite, nice gravy, and a good amount of veggies. The chicken was a little dry though. The steak and ale was good, but still had the bay leafs in there. It was stuffed with filling and the meat was tender. Mashed potatoes and gravy are a must. Good and chunky mash. Now that keylime pie, that is the money maker! Smoothest custard, with a little tang, I woulda liked a little more zing, but it was still DELICIOUS. Great neighborhood spot.

    Love love love this spot! My brother recommended it for my visit and so happy he did! The staff was helpful and helping me pick an dairy free options! While i am a fan kf sweet, the savory curry veggie pie took my heart! The feeling was a wave of flavors and warmth that made it hard to go anywhere else! The pie crust was perfect both flavor and texture wise and honestly if they sold the crust alone i would it is just like that happily! The salad side madd for man perfect bites, if you are a multi texture lover like me, it will leave your senses in bliss!!

    Yum and very filling! We got the steak and ale and the "Boss" breakfast pie with mashed potatoes and gravy. Will definitely come back to try other flavors!

    Decided to come here since it was close to our hotel and we wanted something sweet. Let me tell you, they LOVE sugar. We got their guava and cream cheese hand pie, my husband wanted to try key lime sliced pie and I wanted to try coconut cream sliced pie and also got a cookie. First off, the guy gave us 2 key lime sliced pies, it was super sweet and some what tart, also the crust was hard and thick. We didn't get to taste the coconut cream pie. The cookie was good. Lastly, the guava and cream cheese, it was way too sweet for us, my husband loves sweets but even for him it was a no. I even tried to dissect the hand pie to scraped off the guava jam and that didn't helped. Tried to give it to my family members and they didn't want it. In the attached pictures, as you can see it is 2 key lime pie slices. No coconut cream pie 😥 If you LOVE sugary treats then give them a try.
