Portland loves its baked goods. And pie — that magical amalgamation of pastry stuffed with fruit or meat, baked to warm, flaky perfection — is no exception. Portland, a city known for its seasonal fruits and vegetables, is home to a number of pie cafes that feature Oregon produce between their crusts, from summer marionberry to fall apple. Dedicated to the best pies and pie shops, the map below serves some of Portland’s most exceptional slices and whole pies; these include sweet pies filled with fruit, cream, and/or nuts, as well as savory pies that cram as much meat as possible between two golden crusts. Note that crumbles, tarts, and cakes (including cheesecake) may receive some sort of recognition, but only if the shop already nails its pie. For more pastries, feel free to peruse our bakery map.

Lined with chic subway tile, Kim Boyce’s iconic bakery is known for its whole grain pastry, and the fruit hand pies regularly available in the bakery often feature seasonal ingredients and whole grain flour, whether spelt or wheat.

This old school spot is known for its pies and desserts, with Oregon-centric flavors like marionberry and blueberry-gooseberry. For the holidays, the apple mincemeat pie and sweet potato pie are a long-standing tradition in many Portland homes, which folks can order via email or by calling.

Lauretta Jean's

Copy Link

For those who rank, this homey spot is easily one of the city’s top three pie shops, if not Portland’s best: The crusts are always crisp and the fillings fresh. Lauretta Jean’s is a leader in both summery and holiday-vibed pies — the sweet potato marshmallow meringue screams Thanksgiving, while the coconut Key lime tastes like Fourth of July in Florida. Kate McMillen particularly shines with her cream pies, as well as the standout salted honey pie. Order pies by-the-slice or whole pies from the pie window on Division, or pre-order pies online.

Specializing in individual-sized pies, The Pie Spot’s tiny, cutesy cafe offers a fun alternative to the slice, in flavors like s’mores, brown butter pecan, and blueberry ginger. Plus, the restaurant offers killer pot pies, bacon jam hand pies, and quiches for lunchers. Gluten-free options are available, though the kitchen is not 100 percent gluten-free.

Caffe Destino

This quaint neighborhood coffee shop always offers a wide selection of pies, both by the slice and whole, all visible in a glass case by the cashier. Varieties include Oregon berry, butterscotch, and lemon cream, but the true standout is the key lime pie, with beautifully piped stars of whipped cream and slices of lime. All pies can also be ordered in advance.

Sweedeedee

This eternally beloved Portland daytime cafe has slices of its salted honey pie on offer year-round but also comes correct with holiday pie offerings. This year, diners can pre-order one of their three pies in November: the salted honey pie with an all-butter crust, salted honey custard, and Maldon salt flakes; a pumpkin pie with a warmly spiced pumpkin filling; and an apple quince pie laden with quince jam, apples, and cinnamon. Whipped cream can be added to any pie.

Making standout pies within Portland’s crowded gluten-free and vegan scene, owner Lisa Clark churns out flavors like marionberry hazelnut and apple crumb amid her charming cafe’s gleaming white countertops, wood beams, and exposed brick walls. Any given day, diners can pop in for slices of sour-cherry-peach or bumble berry peach pie, loaded with marionberries, raspberries, blueberries, and peaches with a layer of hazelnut and coconut, as well as seasonal slices. Those interested can also pre-order whole pies online.

Today, she makes seasonal pre-ordered whole pies (frozen or fully baked), tartlets, and hand pies at this Hillsdale bakery.

Banning's Restaurant & Pie House

Copy Link

This Tigard-area diner has been a neighborhood standby for a cup of coffee and a slice of fruit pie since the ’70s. Here, the strawberry pies are glistening domes of red, the cream pies — from peanut butter to banana — are luscious and nostalgic, and the mixed berry pie is encased in a golden, toasty crust. The real move is to start with the restaurant’s chicken pot pie, the platonic idea of comfort food.

Paiku

Originally a St. Johns pie cart, Paiku now serves its sweet, savory, and occasionally game-filled pies in a roomy cafe space in the North Portland neighborhood. Its rustic fruit pies, with flavors like apple and blueberry, consistently delight, but it’s really all about this cafe’s hard-to-find varieties, like the old school Italian Easter pie with Olympia Provisions ham and salami. The shop’s nut pies, like honey almond and chocolate walnut, are no slouch, either.

This bakery offers pies year-round but really leans into pie season around the holidays. Thanksgiving pies are available for pre-order (deadline is the Monday before Thanksgiving) and include options like the lasciviously gooey salted pecan pie; apple pie with an oatmeal crumb topping; a pumpkin pie with sweet meat squash, pumpkin, and creme fraiche whip; and less common options like lemon brulee pie, chocolate chess pie, and the “Barbara” pie with a Portland-y chopped hazelnut filling.
