I've visited The Giving Pies twice now and have been quite happy after both visits. Such a cute little place with wonderfully presented pies of all sizes and varieties! Went for breakfast both times and got to try the bacon & cheese quiche and the spicy sausage - loved both. They were served on custom plates that had their logo stamped in and I thought it was so cute and charming. I've had several of their dessert pies now and really enjoyed them all. Thank goodness they have them in mini sizes so that I could have multiples. I'm a sampler kind of girl so minis were perfect for me to taste and enjoy the lemon, key lime, guava, and mango across both of my visits. I think key lime was my favorite of them all to date. I'd like to try some others that are less of the fruity variety to have with coffee, so I plan to return! Love it all and hope folks get a chance to go out and support this great small business!

My husband and I were looking to get pies for our wedding rather than a traditional cake. Voahangy was so kind and helped arrange a tasting at the last minute for us. She was super responsive and got back to our emails so quickly. The tasting was well organized and a great experience. We ended up ordering 10 pies. She did a fantastic job and really made sure that we had the freshest pies for our wedding. My only complaint is the website is a little hard to navigate because the banner takes up most of the screen. But once you get past that, everything is amazing. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

I've had this place on my radar for a while and finally had the chance to check it out. I missed the first entrance, but entered through the second and found parking across from the daycare. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by a woman, and the cashier patiently waited while I browsed. I considered asking for popular recommendations but opted for my preferred flavors instead. I chose four mini pies (blackberry, apricot, mango, and banana chocolate) and one medium-sized pie (blueberry). While my order was being packed, I noticed they offered a variety of other pies, including large ones. The seating area was cozy, with tables and benches along the wall. The pies were nicely displayed, offering plenty of options to suit all tastes. I tried the blackberry pie first, and it was delicious - not too sweet, with natural fruit flavors, a perfect crust, and an amazing crumble topping. The mango pie was also absolutely delicious. The apricot pie is an acquired taste, so if you like apricot, you'll enjoy it. The banana chocolate wasn't to my taste, and the blueberry was a bit too sweet for me, though it still had natural flavors. Overall, I enjoyed everything I tried and am glad to have discovered this place. I'll definitely return to explore more flavors or stick to my favorites, which were the mango and blackberry!

Tried 2 savory pies: feta / goat cheese and crab green onion. Absolutely loved both of them! Best pies I've had in a while. Very filling and satisfying. They heat them then and there for you. Definitely coming back soon to taste the sweet pies. The savory and sweet pie collections are very vast and diverse. Excited to try them all! Service is quick. They only take cash tips so come prepared. The ambiance is simple and homely - like a no frills bakery. The coffees are also very nice! Highly recommend.

Ambiance **** (4) clean and cute; tight seating Food **** (4) -- the pies were very tasty but they were pricey (stars include price) Service was efficient--not much talk.

I've had this place on my radar for so long and finally was close by to check it out. I missed the first entrance and entered through the second entrance and found some parking across the daycare. I walked in and was greeted warmly by a woman. I came up to the front and the cashier greeted me and waited patiently while I browsed. I was going to ask what was popular but I went by what flavors I preferred. I got 4 minis (blackberry, apricot, mango, banana chocolate) and 1 of the size up (maybe medium -blueberry). While he packed it up I browsed and saw they had other pies and large pies too. I took a seat in one of the table spaces that was very comfy. The setup has tables and benches against the wall to sit on. It's got a cozy feel to it. Pies are displayed nicely. So many options for all preferences. Once I got my order I took a bite of the blackberry and it was delicious. Not too sweet, natural fruit flavors, pie crust was 10/10, and the crumble on top of the pie was to die for!! Mango is absolutely delicious! Apricot is truly acquired taste. If you like apricot you will like it. Banana chocolate was not my personal preference. Blueberry was a little too sweet for my liking and again still natural flavors all around. I enjoyed everything I ate and I'm glad to know this place exists and is serving up delicious pies. Will return and keep exploring flavors or just grab my favs which were mango and blackberry!

Uniqueness: Many unique types of mini pies to choose from!

Highly recommend their lemon tart and chocolate caramel. Anything with crumble is also amazing! I was surprised for years that The Giving Pies was literally right next to a Greek spot I would come by from time to time, and was craving some delicious pies from this place. Of course we all know the drama and amazing public outpouring of support for this tiny shop but want to try to give an unbiased review aside from the news of that. Coming to this spot on a weekend was not crowded as the hype had died down at this point, and there was a small line of around 5-6 people waiting. Since this is a small business, the pace could be slow but trust me when we get to the quality of these pies, it was worth it. The shop is small with a window of various assortment of mini, medium, and large sweet pies and also some savory pies (quiches possibly?) as well. They have your typical pecan, chocolate, and berry flavors but what surprised me and also was a big plus in my opinion was their assortment of unique other flavors such as pear, apricot, ube, and mango for example. I decided to get a mixed box of chocolate, mango, ube, pecan, lemon, and apricot for take out, and by the time I got home and tried them--wow for quality of pies in general, these were probably one of the best I had in a while in the South Bay. It's been a while since Marie Calendars closed if I'm trying to think of any pie or traditional pie locations but if you want a legitimate pie albeit a mini pie, this was the spot to go to. The lemon tart was delectably sweet, tart and soft, consistency of what you'd expect from a perfectly made lemon tart that had a perfectly thick yet thin crust. The chocolate (caramel) tart was a surprise to me as it was definitely better than what you'd expect from a chocolate tart. The apricot and mango tarts each were sweet and fresh and I loved the crumbles on top that was better than a typical crumble/strudel. The pecan tart was at the bottom of my list but not that it was bad but it was like any other pecan tart. Service here I could tell they're short staffed but were very friendly and made sure you got the tarts you wanted and hoped we liked them. Prices for these pies can be pretty steep at around 3-4 dollars for their mini tarts but trust me, it was well worth the try. If you come earlier, I'm certain there's plenty more flavors to choose from as well. Giving Pies being a spot that was in my opinion literally unknown until I was in the area to actually see it was one of my best decisions when it comes to desserts, specifically to tarts & pies. If you're willing to spend a little extra, you'll be enjoying probably one of the best pie spots in the South Bay and helping out a great small business. Give this place a try once with their small tarts for starters (lemon and chocolate is best in my opinion) and I know you'll be back to try some more. A high recommendation in my eyes and I know I'll definitely buy some more when I'm back in the area.

Super cute, tasty mini pies! I brought them to a family dinner and they were the perfect little dessert. The kids especially couldn't wait to choose their pie! Us adults even cut the mini pies into quarters so we could sample as many as we could. All delicious. Quick, friendly service too.
