| - TLDR: Good pie, but -1 star for price.
Pie cloud has been on my list to try for a while, we finally had a chance to stop in for dessert after dinner and drinks elsewhere. Pie was good. We tried lemon meringue, keylime, and mermaid (how could we NOT order a slice of mermaid pie!?) The lemon and mermaid pies were a bit on the sweet side for our tastes, the key lime was spot on, probably because it is topped with whipped cream instead of marshmallow-ey meringue.
3 of us had pie and coffee, but with tax and tip the bill came to $50! OK, it was acceptable pie, but not worth the price I think. $3 for a coffee (small cup, no refills) is a bit pricey, as is 8-9 bucks for a slice of pie... It was definitely better than a supermarket pie, but not miles ahead better.
Also, there are only 8 choices for sweet pies, but most of them cream based. Only Apple and pecan are the other options, which seems unusual for a pie restaurant.... I would honestly have expected more fruit pie selection, or even a seasonal or weekly special. I mean even Blackfoot diner has the same if not more to choose from.
The pie was good enough to warrant a return trip, but the price tag has me second guessing that, and feeling like I would rather try elsewhere, unless I am really hankering for a slice of keylime. Even then though, I would get it to go, and grab a coffee from somewhere else.
