8. Livin’ the Pie Life
For fresh, seasonal flavors: Speaking of pie, this little homegrown shop (which started out as a farmers market stand) is a wonderland of flavors that shift with the season. Think strawberry-rhubarb in late spring, peach-blackberry in summer, and pumpkin in the fall, along with perennial favorites like lemon chess, brown-butter-coconut, salted-caramel chocolate, buttermilk and turtle (chocolate-caramel-pecan). Want to try ’em all? Sign up for the bakery’s pie-of-the-month club and savor the seasons.
