| - Humble makes some of the best crust I've ever had. I am not usually a crust person (the calorie to enjoyment ratio isn't there for me most of the time), but I would eat their crust straight. In fact, the crust was my favorite part of their Monte Crusto.
The Monte Crusto was a savory pocket pie filled with ham, Swiss, chunky cherry jam, and spicy mustard. Again, I can not overstate the magic of their crust on this dish, and the combo of cherries and mustard was stellar. The ham in my pie had a lot of connective tissue that made it impossible to cut with my fork and really difficult to chew. Without the ham it would have been a five-star experience, but gristle really, really puts me off.
I also sampled the salted honey tart and the honey lemon apple hand pie. The apple pie was light and delicious, with the honey being more prevalent in the mouth feel than the taste. The lemon was subtle. The salted honey tart was decadent. The consistency was similar to a chess filling and honey truly was the star of this delicious little pie.
The owner/baker who served us couldn't have been nicer about our indecision and very vocal tasting experience - we dined in and didn't hold back with how delicious everything was.
Humble is on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for and what you pay for is quality. Looking forward to going back and exploring some other pie options!
