🚨 THE SHOP IS OPEN REGULAR HOURS THIS WEEKEND! Friday + Saturday: 8a-noon, Sunday: 9a-noon 🚨

NO MARKET FOR US THIS SUNDAY! Come to our shoppe for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner for later! Loads of hot ones and cold ones with your name on 💚

🤎 BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON
Our always-and-forever classic. Buttery brown sugar and warm cinnamon tucked inside our flaky crust.

🍋‍🟩 KEY LIME CHEESECAKE
Tart, juicy key lime curd folded together with whipped cream cheese and graham cracker crumbs to seal the deal. Bright, creamy, tangy perfection.

🥔 CHEESY DILL HASH
A beloved classic featuring Timbo’s Spice- Hand Crafted Seasonings and Rubs Everything Seasoning! Shredded hash browns, mozzarella, cream cheese, fresh dill, garlic and that good, good seasoning atop our crust!

🍖 BBQ BURNT ENDS
Back for the first time in a long time, and perfect for stocking up ahead of Labor Day! 👀 Smoky barbecue beefy burnt ends mixed with cabbage, melty cheese and plenty of barbecue sauce.

🚨 A QUICK SCHEDULING NOTE! We will NOT be at the Aksarben Farmers Market this Sunday, August 23 (OR next Sunday, August 30)! 🚨

Our SHOP IS OPEN NORMAL HOURS both weekends:
FRIDAY 8a-noon + SATURDAY 8a-noon + SUNDAY 9a-noon

We’re only taking a little break from the farmers market, so come see us at the shop and stock up on this extremely good lineup 👇

🍋 BALTIMORE LEMON STICK
Inspired by my sister Amber and a beloved Baltimore tradition: fresh lemon curd paired with a peppermint stick. It’s juicy, puckery, intensely tart and finished with that crisp, cooling hit of peppermint. Baltimore put it in a lemon. We put it in pastry. Topped with a touch of peppermint. We’re in love with this one.

🍑 STONE FRUIT JAM
The juiciest peaches, nectarines and plums, simmered low and slow with sugar and a touch of vanilla. Nothing fussy, just peak-summer fruit transformed into the kind of classic, sticky jam that flaky pastry was made for.

🌿 MARINATED ARTICHOKE & FETA
Based on this viral summer dish I cannot stop making and genuinely one of the best vegetarian fillings ever created. Marinated artichokes, loads of feta, fresh dill, briny capers, lemon and balsamic come together in one wildly bright, salty, tangy, herb-packed pie. Oh, plus a handful of potatoes so you can officially not feel weird about it being for breakfast. An immediate obsession.

🥓 BACON, EGG & CHEESE WITH TOMATO CHUTNEY
A bacon, egg and cheese, with a little something extra underneath. More than 10 pounds of juicy heirloom tomatoes gifted to us by Long Walk Farm were simmered with onions, vinegar, black pepper, paprika and a touch of sugar to make a deeply savory tomato chutney. The bacon is still very much the star.

Again: NO AKSARBEN FARMERS MARKET THIS SUNDAY OR NEXT~ but the SHOP IS OPEN BOTH WEEKENDS! Come find us at 35th & Center. 💚

DON’T YOU DARE SAY PUMPKIN SPICE. IT’S PEAK SUMMER, BABY. 🍅🌽☀️🥧

And we’ve got a menu built accordingly: good produce, good cooking, lots of butter. This weekend’s menu below!

🤎 BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON
The forever favorite. Buttery, gooey, cinnamon-y perfection.

🌶️ PEPPER JELLY CREAM CHEESE
You know the dip. Cream cheese whipped with our sweet-tangy pepper jelly. Bright with vinegar, mildly spicy, a little sweet…all tucked inside a buttery crust that gives major Ritz cracker energy. Salty, creamy, tangy, sweet. Trust me, you want one. Always a customer fave!

🥔 GOLDEN GARLIC POTATO HASH
Becoming a beloved repeat around here! Tender diced potatoes + farm-fresh garlic-infused butter + sharp cheddar + mozzarella, with Timbo’s Spice- Hand Crafted Seasonings and Rubs Jalapeño Butter seasoning taking this batch to a whole new level. Not spicy. Just savory, buttery heaven.

🍗 SUMMERTIME CHICKEN POT PIE
Some weeks are just about GOOD COOKING and this is one of ’em. We deeply caramelized pounds of local onions + fennel, braised juicy chicken with white wine, chicken stock and herbs, then reduced all that goodness into a rich jus and folded it right back in. Perfectly savory and succulent, somehow comforting AND fresh at the same time.

❄️ PLUS SOME KILLER FROZEN-ONLY FLAVORS while supplies last:

Tart Cherry Pomegranate • Watermelon Taffy • Fresh Herb Scramble • Prosciutto + Mozzarella with Cantaloupe Jam (only a couple dozen left!) • and more!

☀️🍉This week’s menu is an ode to summertime, an ode to MELONS!🍈☀️

Summer’s giving us another stretch of hot weather, so we’re celebrating one of the season’s very best flavors before it’s gone. MELONS! These are the kinds of flavors that only make sense this time of year, and our little test kitchen has been having a BLAST dreaming up such playful, seasonal delights.

We’ll be at the shop our normal hours Friday–Sunday, plus the Aksarben Farmers Market on Sunday from 9a-1p!

🍉 Watermelon Taffy
Freshly juiced Cream of the Crop watermelon is cooked into a silky, lemon bar–adjacent filling with plenty of fresh lime juice and zest for a bright, tart, puckery finish. Perhaps our most playful pie to date, may transport you to a core childhood memory!

🍒 Tart Cherry Pomegranate
A bold, jammy twist on a classic fruit pie. Tart cherries and apples simmered in pomegranate juice create a vibrant, sweet-tart filling that’s unexpected but still familiar. We keep sneaking spoonfuls of this one!

🌿 Fresh Herb Scramble
The one you know and love. Fluffy eggs, melty cheese, a generous handful of fresh garden herbs, plus shredded hash browns, all baked together into the ultimate brunch hand pie. Simple, fresh, always a crowd-pleaser.

🍈 Prosciutto & Mozzarella with Cantaloupe Jam
She’s back! Fresh mozzarella, imported prosciutto, basil-kissed whipped ricotta–mascarpone, and our juicy cantaloupe jam made from peak summer melons from Wolff Family Farms. Sweet, salty, creamy, this fancy little pie only makes an appearance once a year, and we’re SO happy she’s here! We’d wager this one will sell out early, so come early to snag yours.

HOW are we already over halfway through market season?! 😭

Come stock up on peak local produce, handmade soap, candles, shirts and all kinds of lovely locally made goods…and grab a breakfast pie while you’re at it. 😉

Sunday Funday plans, settled! ✅

MADE FROM SCRATCH. LITERALLY. 🖐️🥧

Our dough is mixed in small batches, portioned and rolled by hand, sometimes with assistance from our dear friend Skeeter the Sheeter™. Every jam, custard and savory filling is whisked, whipped and sizzled up from scratch using fresh, often local ingredients. Then every pie is cut, scooped, folded and sealed by hand, one by one. Tray by tray. Week after week. Hundreds to thousands of tiny square pies. A labor of love, butter and repetitive motion. 🫡

GOOD NEWS: after two weekends of melting into the pavement, the forecast has returned to a civilized 80–85°. We survived. Barely.

The shop is open regular hours all weekend, and we’ll be at the Aksarben Farmers Market Sunday from 9am–1pm. Thanks to the heat being…less than ideal for pie sales, we’ve also stocked the freezer with some absolute bangers while supplies last.

THIS WEEK’S MENU 👇

🤎 BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON�Our tried-and-true favorite. Warm cinnamon, buttery brown sugar, the pie that never lets you down.

🍑 PEACH MELBA�Peak summer peaches meet bright, jammy raspberries for a juicy classic that’s especially berry-forward this week, in the berry best way.

🍅 GRILLED CHEESE & TOMATO�The pie of the summer? Caramelized local onions and fennel cooked with juicy tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic and herbs, then folded together with heaps of melty cheese. You demolished it last time, so she’s back.

🌯 BREKKIE “BURRITO”�Cheesy seasoned ground beef, scrambled eggs, local peppers and onions, diced potatoes, black beans, green salsa and creamy white queso. All the breakfast burrito goodness, tucked into buttery flaky crust.

FROZEN FAVORITES ❄️ Available beginning Friday while they last 👇

🍋‍🟩 Passionfruit Lime Curd (our lemon bar’s cooler sister 😎)
🍓 Strawberry Shortcake Crunch (strawberry jam + vanilla custard + crisp topping)�🌿 Zesty Market Kale Scramble (classic breakfast is always a good one to have on hand)�🧀 Charcuterie (best seller status: salami, whipped cheese, house fennel-honey jam)

Come early for your favorite, or roll the dice and let fate choose your pie!

RAIN, SHINE OR HEAT ADVISORY. 🫡☀️🥧

The market is always rain, shine and, apparently, heat advisory 🤷‍♀️ So we’ll be there tomorrow from 9am–1pm, serving up brunch like the stalwart little pie people we are. Come early if you are able, bring water and perhaps an umbrella for shade, or grab some under our tent should you need it.

Don’t forget we’ve got some summer heavy hitters 👇

🍑 Peach — surprise! With notes of cinnamon, bourbon and vanilla. Market only, while supplies last!

☀️ Passionfruit Lime Curd — basically our lemon bar’s hotter, tangier cousin. A new fave.

🌿 Zesty Market Kale Scramble — savory breakfast pie packed with fresh local kale and cheesy goodness.

🧀 Charcuterie — a rare gem on our menu, featuring salami, whipped cheeses & our house local fennel-honey jam.

🍓 Plus strawberry shortcake crunch & brown sugar cinnamon!

Prefer your pies with air conditioning? Extremely fair. The shop is also open 9am–12pm.

Check the freezer. Follow your heart. You know where to find us. 🤗

HOLD A CHICKEN. PULL KALE FROM THE GROUND. MAKE PIE. 🫡🐓🌿🥧

These photos are from a visit to some of the farms growing ingredients that go directly into our pies: fresh kale, fragrant fennel and beautiful farm eggs.

We don’t get everything locally, passionfruit and limes do not exactly flourish on the Nebraska plains, but whenever we can connect the people growing our food with the people eating our pies, it feels really special.

We’re at the shop during regular hours Friday–Sunday, plus the Aksarben Farmers Market on Sunday!

A few flavors may sell out, but we’ve had at least SOME pies available until the end of market for the past several weeks. Come early for your pick, or sleep in and see what fate has chosen for you. Either way: shop local, eat pie and enjoy the abundance of peak summer. ☀️

THIS WEEK’S MENU 👇

🍓 STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CRUNCH
Juicy strawberry jam, creamy vanilla custard and a buttery malted strawberry crisp.

☀️ PASSIONFRUIT LIME CURD
Passionfruit and fresh lime juice whisked with sugar and fresh eggs turns this hand pie into a silky, tart, tropical one that lands somewhere between a lemon bar and pure summer sunshine.

🌿 ZESTY MARKET KALE SCRAMBLE
Farm-fresh eggs, plenty of cheese and chili-lime-garlic roasted kale from a handful of our local farms. Your vegetables, your protein and your pastry, all tucked into one satisfying pocket.

🍯 CHARCUTERIE
An ode to fennel, and one of our forever best sellers, hands down! Genoa salami, whipped cheeses and our signature honey-fennel jam made with fresh fennel from Fruit of Levine, Fat Head Farms honey and fresh lemon.

🪴 Fresh fennel deserves better than being known only as “that flavor in sausage.” It’s delicate, floral, bright, lightly sweet and a little otherworldly. Simmered into jam with honey and fresh lemon, then paired with salty salami and creamy cheese? Get outta here.

GROWN HERE. MADE HERE. EATEN HERE. TRUST THE CRUST! 🙏

A gentle seasonal reminder that buying your produce from someone who pulled it out of the ground nearby is increasingly feeling like both a treat and a sound public-health strategy. 🙂‍↕️ Shop small! Know your farmer! Eat something that didn’t have to travel through a mysterious nationwide supply chain!

We’ll be at the shop normal hours Friday-Sunday and at the Aksarben Farmers Market on Sunday. We are somehow nearly halfway through the season, which feels impossible because we just got here?? Market started in May and runs through October, so there is still plenty of pie-eating + veggie shopping time ahead. But the market is absolutely overflowing with beautiful local vegetables right now. Come say hi!

This weekend’s menu👇

🤎 Brown Sugar Cinnamon
Simply brown sugar, cinnamon and butter tucked inside our flaky all-butter crust. Gooey, buttery, cinnamon-swirled perfection. She needs no reinvention.

🥭 Mango Sticky Rice
Our hand-pie interpretation of the beloved Thai dessert: creamy coconut sticky rice paired with bright, jammy mango inside a buttery pastry crust. Rich and chewy, sweet and sticky, with plenty of mango shining through. A tropical dream, perfect for mid-July.

🌿 Herbed Feta & Zucchini Hash
Shredded potatoes, Fruit of Levine zucchini, mozzarella and cream cheese mixed with heaps of tangy feta loaded with fresh basil, dill and sage. Creamy, herby, salty and bright, a little Mediterranean vacation tucked into a breakfast pie.

🍔 Cheeseburger Pie with Animal Sauce
Because ’tis the season for grilling, and apparently for putting cheeseburger ingredients inside pastry. 😉 Ground beef and pork mixed with heaps of caramelized onions, pickles and melty cheese, topped with sesame seeds and served with a side of our signature animal-style sauce for dipping: creamy, tangy, pickle-y and exactly what this pie demands. We’re typically a brunchy breakfast sort of place, so this probably won’t become an everyday flavor. But it is high time for burger hand pies on the patio, don’t you think?
