Hoosier Mama Pie Company

So do people here pack up pre-​ordered pies blind folded? Intoxicated? Without their glasses? Are illiterate? Just wondering. I pre-​ordered 2 pies for the week of thanksgiving. I said THANKSGIVING. So this isn’t some regular week. I may have plans but it’s none of your business. My point is that it was a huge inconvenience and fuck up to order two different pies, receive confirmation, then bring home the pies. Cutting into both and seeing that you receive two of the same pies. This is not what I ordered. By now I’m livid, enough to have a strong urge to shank a random bitch to alleviate my blood boiling; it’s just how we handle things in Chicago. with a good knife or gun fight .and going back asap to confront and switch out possibly wasn’t even an option cuz it’s a holiday the next day and I’m busy. Seriously people — pay attention??? Fuck man. I called and they sounded somewhat apologetic said I can come back in the future for a pie on them, but didn’t ask for my name, number nor give me her name just a click and the call was done. Yes sounds like a great idea. A random girl prancing in after the holidays or lord knows when cuz I traveled afar in December so I didn’t have the time to have a whole pie laying around while I’m not home for weeks. asking for a pie on the house cuz they fucked up my order with no reference of a name. Nothing. Great.
I emailed them my pictures of the pies I received and how it’s in differently labeled boxes for two different pies yet contained the same pies. No acknowledgment, no nothing. Just crickets. Nice. I fucking hate incompetence and stupidity.
DEAD to me.

I have very mixed feelings about this place.
On the negative side:
–the food is a tad overpriced
–they are slower than snot, forget calling ahead and placing your order… they wont take it. You are forced to wait for at least 10 minutes, once even 25 minutes… for your food.
On the positive side:
–Some of the pies are really good… including the blueberry and fat elvis.
–The blueberry tea is phenomenal
All in all, I wont be coming back this winter… maybe this summer on a weekend, when I have loads of time to wait for my order and can sit outside at one of the many tables.

Just picked up a pie from here the other day, and by far the best pie.

Bourbon chess and hoosier are my favorite! The hoosier is creamy and tastes similar to a crème brûlée (BUT BETTER!) Maple pecan is also a solid choice. The chocolate chess was slightly too brownie-​like for my taste since I like more traditional pie consistencies. The staff is always nice and explains each pie in detail when asked! I’ve also tried the queen mary… the peanut butter cream is phenomenal!

I’ve been waiting a while to come here. I think for a first trip, we bought way more than we can handle. By ‘we’, I mean my boyfriend and I. Let me continue by listing what we got: one slice of Lemon Chess Pie, one large Chicken Pot Pie, and one large Coconut Cream Pie.
It’s been 4 days, I’m still working on the pies.
The Lemon Chess Pie was very good. Usually, I’m not a fan of lemon desserts, but this one was different from the others. It tastes like real lemon, not the overwhelming taste of sour lemon juice.
The Chicken Pot Pie is by far my favorite. There are real pieces of chicken packed in the pie — by real I mean not frozen. Honestly, the pie was probably a good 5 pounds. I love the red potatoes in the pie too.
Coconut cream pie is my favorite pie. I love coconut. I love how they layered shredded coconut on the bottom.
In general, the crust here is amazing. Flaky and buttery goodness.

Today was National Pie Day. So, where else would one go but a dedicated pie shop? Hoosier Mama seemed to fit the bill perfectly so we came by.
First impressions: tiny sign so it’s easy to overlook. Tiny inside — 3 tables. And packed with people. Packed like you can’t even get in the door at times. That’s a good sign, I guess.
They have savory pies, sweet pies and quiche. Unfortunately they were really low on pies today. So we got a piece of their chicken pot pie and their fruit chili pie. And a couple of cups of coffee — free refills, nice. Sadly no passionfruit meringue. It took about 10 minutes for them to heat up the pies, and we managed to share a table with another very nice couple.
While we waited, we marveled at the line of people coming in. It was non-​stop. The place would kind of clear a bit, and another wave would hit. But the staff did great and even managed to bring us our pies and more coffee, pushing their way through the crowd to do so. Pretty cool.
The pies were awesome. Flavorful and full of tasks fillings. I definitely want to try their sweet pies now!

I’ve been to Hoosier Mama a few time but it’s been a while. OK, the Sugar Cream Pie is at the top of my list… ALWAYS… I had a slice of S’more Pie, and some Pecan Pie. I’ve been gone too long!!! I gotta go back SOONER… AGAIN{.if that makes sense…} As a whole the Pies are AWESOME!!! I want to try one of the Chicken Pot pies, and some of the other selections. The persons behind the counter are courteous. I have no complaints, except the place is a little small in regards to their success, and the «Company» needs to expand… I promise it won’t hurt! (smile)

Cute décor. Old nostalgic setting with antiquey tables and tables. Only three tables in small shop, one being a picnic table adorned with picnic gingham cloth. The Bourbon pecan chess pie. Sugary flaky top, roasted pecan streusel top. Crust is good, flaky and buttery. Joyous almond is a big pile of mush due to a large amount of slightly underwhipped whip cream, creamy filling of shredded coconut atop a chocolate hard cookie crust that has to be stabbed with a fork intensely. Very very tasty concoction, but poor design resulting in a pie blob. FYI, call ahead… Sign states two day notice on pie orders.

My friends put in a strong recommendation for this place so I was in the neighborhood so I thought I’d give it a try!
All they pies sounded really interesting – chocolate cream, chocolate chess, almond joy, banana cream, horchata, apple, and more – and I wanted to try them all. I ended getting the chocolate cream and it was pretty good! It was smooth and rich and satisfying. The slice of pie was large and I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. The only thing I wished was that the crust was more substantial.
The pie shop itself is really small and has only a couple of seats. But it’s cute and the staff were friendly. I hope to come back and try all the other flavors.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.
I live down the street and have literally my whole life and somehow just recently stumbled upon this place and I’m so happy I did. I first tried their HORCHATA PIE at Dove’s in wicker. It is probably the most interestingly delicious pie I have ever feasted on. I say feasted on because every time I order it I eat the whole piece in like 3 bites!
Anyways, the interior of this place is so cute. It’s super tiny with a handwritten chalkboard menu. Not the type of place that you post up for a couple hours on your laptop, but definitely the kind of place you and a date can go enjoy a quick 20 minute conversation over a delicious homemade slice of pie.
I have truly enjoyed everything I’ve ever ordered from them. I’ve tried the broccoli cheddar quiche, pumpkin pie and the chicken pot pie. I’ve even tried their biscuits with a traditional quiche that Dollops coffee shop in the loop serves! All of it is outstandingly fresh and delicious. Def recommend this spot.

I was in the area and looking for a tasty lunch and noticed Hoosier Mama’s great reviews, so I gave it a chance. The adorable vintage décor is only slightly less sweet than their range of pies, and that’s saying something.
I had a hard time not tucking into my sour cream and dutch apple pie while my savoury quiche was being heated up, but boy was it worth the wait. The spinach, onion, gruyère quiche was by far the best I’d ever had!
Definitely worth a visit, whether to have a slice sitting in this charming space, or taking some away and trying to pass it off as your own.

There’s nothing better than great pie. Correction, there’s nothing better in this world than Hoosier Mama Pie. Why else would I wait in line, in rain sleet or snow? Think I’m kidding? Look for me any random Sat or Sunday waiting for slice.
The pies are made fresh, and they are seasonal based on local ingredients. I literally call in advance to see if Maple Pecan is available. As sad is it sounds, sometimes you need to keep a guilty pleasure like pie in your life.

I’ve tried the coconut custard (my fave so far), banana custard and pumpkin pies as well as their mushroom gruyère quiche. Everything has been DELICIOUS. They’re a small operation and orders for whole pies need to be made 48 hours in advance. That just means if you have something specific in mind and want to reserve it, order in advance. If you want something in less than 48 hours they do have inventory but it’s first come, first served. Call in advance to check the flavors/​recipes they have that day.

This little place is cuter than a baby lamb and that’s a fact! Throw in some of the best sweet or savory pies ever and you have winner!
I love their chicken pot pie. I think the gravy is sherry based and it is delish. I love the savory, dark meat chunks. The tomatillo and brussel sprouts with bacon are freaking good too. For sweet, OMG… any of the fruit ones are pure heaven but the sugar cream one is amazeaballs.
The do sell out often but instead of complaining, just get there earlier.

First thing’s first: I’m a little biased because I love pie. Even if you’re not a huge pie fan, Hoosier Mama is worth it for the coffee and the ambiance, but I bet that this place will turn you INTO a pie fan.
They locally source their products, so keep an eye for what’s in season. I tend to get chocolatey pies which are always decadently wonderful. The staff there is always so polite and friendly, and it’s a really adorable place; it’s perfect for getting some work done, hanging out with friends, or even just eating. It’s seriously perfect for eating.

Hoosier mama on any given day seems to be busy all the time! Which I guess is a good sign because it just means that they’re obviously doing something good. I ordered a banana crème pie and thought it to be meh. I should’ve ordered an expresso pie (I had it at a friends place which turned me on to this place!) Now lemme tell you… that pie was the bomb!!! Or next time I’d like to try a chocolate chess or savory chicken pot pie.
The other reason for the 3 stars is due to the lack of a pick up window. I arrived on a busy weekend afternoon and despite 2 people behind the counter I had to wait 25 minutes in line for a pick up order. I was in a hurry and had to make my next appointment so waiting in that line was inconvenient It would have been nice to have a separate window for that. I’ m still willing to give this place another try though for their awesome pies.

I don’t have a major taste bud for pie and we dont eat it that much. We saw the place in Unilocal and wanted to give it a try. Since its raining pumpking we decided we wanted to have pumpkin pie — we were in line and everyone was getting slices from the last pumpkin pie but lucky for us we still managed to get the last one :). It was simply delicious, plain simple nothing fancy but perfect. Add 1 $ and you get a decent hot coffee.
As for the place there is ample street parking but the place is tiny literally they have fitted 3 table-​chair in place where only one can fit and there was a long queue even on a not so good (winter windy day) but still we got space (it was our lucky day).
Its worth a try.

This is an absolutely magnificent establishment. I have always enjoyed pie a little more than cake but because the USA doesn’t really have bakeries exclusive for pies, I usually just opt for cake.
I have tried the peach pie and banana cream. The peach pie was decent, however the banana cream was absolutely divine. What makes the pies amazing is the crust. You can taste the butter and they are actually moist while being crunchy at the same time. I can’t wait to return.

Walked in to pick up a pie for a birthday party on a Saturday morning and I was impressed with my experience from start to finish. I inquired as to what pies were available and they were genuinely helpful and knowledgeable about all my options. Not only that, I got a seemingly simple pie in the banana crème but it exceeded mine and all my guests expectations. I’m not sure how you could make a pie better than that and I’ll probably be back for any of my pie related needs.
The only thing is that this location is pretty much a take out only store. There is a single table but I wouldn’t count on it being available at any given time. To sum up, get a Hoosier Mama to impress at your next party. Or you know, eat it all yourself.

Hoosier has a great selection of food options. They are known for their pie (hence the name), which is delicious. I’ve had their Apple and have also heard good things about their other options. They also have a good selection of sandwiches. I’ve had the Turkey and the Ploughman, which is a ham and cheddar. Both were fresh and delicious.
My only reason for deducting a star is their coffee. They partner with Dollop, so the coffee is pretty good, but I’m not a fan of their prices. Their sizes run pretty small, but prices are steeper.
The atmosphere is neat. Its a very open space with a lot of natural light.

YUM! very tasty pies and eating a slice while sitting in the kitsch-​y storefront window is a winner.
I had held off coming here because I had read reviews about the lines. I got over it on July 4^th when I called to confirm that they were open and they weren’t out of any pies yet. So we rushed down there and had a very sweet breakfast– apple and cherry pie. Yummy! Then I got an apple pie to go for our July 4^th celebration. He got a slice of coconut cream too.
Everyone loved the apple pie, the crust was so good and there was that pinch of nutmeg or something that gave it that slightly Fall taste to it.
A word of warning, they do sell out of pies but it reflects how freshly made the product truly is… but you may leave empty handed as I discovered a few days later. I tried the chicken pot pie which was good, but I don’t think I would spend $ 29 for that again. But the sweet pies are fabulous!

This chicken pot pie is legit. Add sirracha and black pepper and voila! I have to come back for an apple pie! If it goes well, I will be a regular to bring something to house parties/​gatherings.
Note: The large chicken pot pie was $ 29. The small/​individual size is $ 9. The price for the large can feed about 4 – 6 people. Add a salad.
