La Fiesta Square, Lafayette
In October the bakery Cake. closed in La Fiesta Square in Lafayette and now Oakland-based Pietisserie has opened a holiday popup shop through December 31st. Pietisserie recently appeared on the Cooking Channel show Unique Treats and is becoming more popular throughout the country; Check out photos of the inside and their menu after the jump. I talked with owner Jaynelle St. Jean who indicated that her favorite holiday pie is definitely the eggnog cream pie. I tried the grapefruit pie with some trepidation as I typically go for standard apple pie but this was seriously delicious. The real deal! Word has gotten around as they were already completely sold out when I dropped by so you may want to call in advance to see what’s available. I know I’ll be back. Who knows, they may end up staying in Lafayette permanently if things work out… They also offer Red Bay Coffee from Oakland.
From their website:
PieTisserie began after San Francisco native Jaynelle St. Jean staged a window of her mother’s home as an iconic country window, with homemade pies set out to cool. Compelled to create her own small town in the city, she gave away slices to passersby willing to eat with neighbors. Jaynelle launched PieTisserie, making it her mission to fill the need for unique and delicious pies, and to remind people of the importance of pleasant surprises close to home via her Random Acts of Sweetness.
