Pie in the Sky

Pie in the Sky in Woods Hole, MA is the best place for a date in town. (And not because it's one of the only places.) The bakery and cafe is of course famous for its pies, and also serves homemade pastries such as croissants, baked goods such as cookies and popovers, and breads - the air always smells heavenly around this cozy joint by the harbor. With an assortment of organic coffees, espresso and cocoa for the colder months and savory foods such as made-to-order sandwiches, Pie in the Sky hits all the spots. The outdoor patio seating and smoothie/juice bar is perfect for summer days, and for Sunday breakfast the place was literally overflowing with people, packed to the brim at 9 a.m. It's the best place in town.

The rotating selection of seasonal pies never fail to impress: upon my visit I saw a rhubarb pie, pecan pie, key lime pie, and a decadent chocolate creation - at Pie in the Sky you can get pie around the clock. (Ever had pie for breakfast? Awesome.) The bakery had served up classic chocolate chip cookies, blondies, seven-layer bars, a decadent-lookin chocolate peanut butter bar, and key lime raspberry bars that were tart, light and refreshing despite the massive-sized serving they give you - we ate it with a spoon.
