| - I've had this place bookmarked for some time and had been looking forward to checking it out. I feel bad giving it only 3 stars, but I'm just trying to be honest.
First off, the service was fantastic. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and asked if I had been there before. I told the man working the counter that this was my first time in and he proceeded to explain what their menu was. Part of my motivation for going there was the check-in offer on Yelp for a free fruit hand pie, so I decided on an apple pie as well as a ham, egg, and cheese. I was given a mini hand pie to try while I waited for my order to be up, which was nice (I chose a chocolate one, which was pretty good).
I was pretty underwhelmed with the ham, egg, and cheese. It tasted dry and I could hardly detect any melted cheese despite the pie being piping hot. The ham had a gray color to it which turned me off.
The apple pie was good. It reminded me of one of those Hostess pies but flakier and a lot less sweet. I would have preferred the crust to have had a bit more flavor, but the apple filling was very nice - not too sweet and not too tart. The apples were soft but firm instead of mushy, which was good.
I really, really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately what I experienced wasn't enough to bring me back.
