Emporium Pies

Cute tiny place with fast and friendly service.
Red Velvet and Smooth Operator

My friends are a fan of Emporium Pies, but they made me wait until February to try it so i can try the Valentine's month special: Red Velvet, which was amazing and totally worth the wait. Now I have something to look forward to every February!
We also tried the Smooth Operator, which was also really good!

I got the Dr. Love & my husband got the muffin Man with the scoop.

We probably didn't need to get the ice cream scoop for each but we'll know the next time. Both pie were very rich and delicious however I was hoping for a flaky crust which neither had.

It was $8 for a slice of pie and $2 for the two scoops of ice creams it's pretty pricey but would still come back to try other flavors though!

So I've actually never stepped foot inside this store but every time my SIL comes over she brings some kind of dessert, often a whole pie, and several times they been pies from this pie shop.
I've had so far the Lord of the Pies. It's a great apple pie and not traditional. So good! This pie weighs like 20# or at least it feels that heavy. Caramel inside, crumble on top. Think deep dish Chicago pizza thick!
The cherry was ok. I wanted to love it because cherry is my favorite pie of all time but this one has a lot of overpowering lemon flavor for me. The drop dead gourdgeous pie was probably one of the best versions of pumpkin pie that I've ever had.
This week she plans to bring the bourbon pecan so I can't wait to try that!
Also on my must try list is the Melted Snowman pie. They had me at cookies and cream.

One thing I love about Emporium Pies is their ability to be unique.

All I have to say is yes to the lord of the Pies. Like how the apples still have a bite. The thick crust is nice to sop up all the cinnamon deliciousness .

Not impressed, I eat a lot of pie, I'm a big guy, this was fair tasting but the crust was ridiculous, like it was harder than a Chicago deep dish crust pizza, almost inedible. I think they are trying to be cool by making this ridiculously large crusted apple pie. What's worse, I ordered a milk and they gave me a child size off the shelf 8 oz joke of a milk.

What kind of pie place doesn't have actual bottled milk? Honestly the pies at Costco are better than this, just sayin. Great service and quaint little place, I like the atmosphere, but the pies left much to be desired.

Such Delish pies! Try all flavors or you'll be sorry... small little place that is worth your visit!

This place is good but a little over hyped. $9 for this slice. Seemed like the other choices were $8 and this seemed to be bigger. I do wish they warmed it up before serving. I ate a few bites when ordered and took the rest home. The next day I heated it up and it was perfect. Seemed like a caramel taste within the apple slices. If I come back, I'd definitely just share a piece.

Gosh, I love dessert! I knew I had to try Emporium Pies and I was very happy when we stumbled upon their McKinney location. I picked up a slice to enjoy later in the day. I think I chose Drunken Nut but I'm really not certain. It was in the car for a little bit and not totally cold when I had it but still firm enough and delish!

I can't wait to try their other flavors or revisit the slice I had. Yummy stuff! Perfect little spot for a special treat.

Fast, friendly service!

Alwyas love this place! We bring family here all the time when they're in town. I love their butter cream gang and my husband loves the nutty honey pie! Would definitely recommend!

I can't catch a break the last few days. My eating habits are outta control despite my best intentions.

I did not intend to buy a piece of blueberry pie today. I promise! Or Apple...really!

Bottom line:

Emporium Pies are delicious..
