Megan Wilkes and Mary Gauntt have made a name for themselves in the baking world. The young entrepreneurs have unleashed a frenzy for pie in the Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff. Emporium Pies is a thing of beauty.

In a simple unassuming cottage on Bishop Street, Megan and Mary offer pie and coffee….that’s it! I suppose they also have Thin Mints if any Girl Scouts have been in the area. No doubt, these confectioners would turn them into an an awesome pie.

the selections change with the seasons

Something that will never change is the sweet philosophy  that a tasty pie is one with no artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, dyes, or corn syrup.

take it to go for a midnight snack!

Even the packaging is quirky and clever.

But where do we start? The chocolate pie, The Smooth Operator, jumped right out at us!This French Silk Pie’s secret is a crunchy pretzel crust. This has to be the best chocolate pie ever made!

In our family, coconut always runs a close second to choclate.The Snowball offered at Emporium Pies beats any other coconut pie in town hands down. It’s creamy! It’s Crunchy! It’s everything you want it to be!

Believe it or not we couldn’t stop. Perhaps we were on a pie-high. So we ordered Dr. Love. We weren’t sure we were going to like Dr. Love because of it’s red velvet roots. We’re not big red velvet fans. However, the bohemian twenty something pie monger at the cash register sold us on the chess-like pie with the flavor of red velvet and cream cheese. Believe me, it’s worth it to step out of your box. We were so glad we did. What’s not to love about Dr. Love? NOTHING!!!!

Who knew that a bakery that only offers pie would be worthy of such acclaim? I do and I’m telling everybody!!!

Travel to the sunny south side of Dallas. Go ahead, cross the Trinity River, and land in pie heaven.
