Kandi’s Pies and Pastries

I had a slice of the strawberry rhubarb, purchased at a farm stand and baked at home. It wasn’t baked long enough, but it was still the best slice of pie I have ever eaten. Nothing about it was artificial tasting and the crust was incredible! I think this is better than cake for a party :)

My neighbor has been telling me to go here for over a year, but I usually enjoy doing my own baking. This year however, thanksgiving was at my house so I opted to buy dessert. I went down there the day before thanksgiving a few minutes after they opened. The place is so cute, barely out of suburb Tracy so it feels like it’s country but it’s actually only a 3 minute drive from my house :) They were all decorated inside, it was warm and smelled like heaven. The line was wrapping around the inside of the shop but they were very quick! I grabbed an apple strudel (which my husband, who never eats pastries, said was amazing and he couldn’t stop eating it!), an apple pie and pumpkin pie. The pumpkin pie was amazing! It tasted homemade and was cooked to perfection. The apple pie is gorgeous and has yet to be eaten, but I know it cannot disappoint.
If you need to grab a quick gift for a friend or potluck, this is the go to place! I had her Christmas cookie platter last year as a gift my neighbor and they were all so good.
I super recommend this place.
PS the lovely people behind the counter were so friendly and kind. It was a clean space. Their packaging is very professional.

We got an Apple Dutch Pie. It was incredible. Hand cut apples. Perfect flavor. Excellent customer service. They are only open seasonally. We happened to get a pie on the first day they opened.

Ordered an apple and chocolate cream pie a couple days before Christmas Eve. They were open til 5pm on Xmas Eve.
Drove right up to their store (situated on their beautiful property) walked in & picked up our pies. No huge Costco or Safeway lines to stand in…
They were a little pricey for 15.00 each but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! My family LOVED them & the presentation was beautiful.
Thanks Kandi! Can’t wait to come back!

Kandi’s Pies and Pastries is the best homemade bakery in Tracy I have ever tasted, she’s seasonal so I look forward to when she’s open everything is awesome my favorites are her Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, Banana Nut Bread, her Pies you can’t go wrong with anything you buy it’s all good too many choices. I’ll take one of everything please !!!

We love Kandi’s Pie’s. Always the best and a tradition for our family holidays.

I’ve purchased a number of items from the Kandi’s Pie stall on my visits to the Farmers Market and where I haven’t had a Pie… Yet! I’m guessing they are what they do best. Which should I purchase one am probably best doing from their store as the goods I sampled from the Market did not taste too fresh.
— Cinnamon Roll (
) Very Disappointed. Was very dry and tasted like it was a couple of days old. 1.5÷5
— M&M Cookie (
) Crunchy, not overly sweet, lot’s of M&M’s but were only on the top of the Cookie and not baked in. Also lacked flavor, some Vanilla essence could fix that easy. 2.5÷5
— Macaroon (
) Huge, delicious Coconut flavor, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. ⁴⁄₅
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (
). Soft and chewy, nice spiced flavor ³⁄₅.
The staff that work the store are very nice and if you come after 12pm some great deals can be had.

The first time going to kandis I bought a pie the was great. The second time I bought a pie from the farmers market it didn’t taste good at all. The filling of the pie tasted like a gel and I wasn’t to fond of it. Bought a cookie and expect it to be a little better, it was too hard for me ended up throwing it away.

My mother went to the Farmers Market about a month ago. Bought a yummy looking Apricot Pie. She cut a slice of pie a day later or so later and it was moldy inside.
When my mother called to inform them of the moldy pie, Kandi the owner, was completely rude, disrespectful and inaulted my mother.
How much of an idiot do YOU have to be to insult a customer who wasnt even being rude when the called in the first place?! Grow up and handle your business like a professional adult and not like a 5 year old who cant have a cookie from the cookie jar.

Best pies, pastries, cookies, you name it! The pie shop is adorable with a large parking lot and working orchard. When they say «homemade» they mean «homemade». The chocolate cream pie is my absolute favorite, although when it comes to Kandi’s Pies, I would happily stuff my face with any of the flavors.

I had to give in and go to the shop that is only open around Holidays. And I have to say I like the Pies better from the shop, when I get one a the farmers market they have wrapped the in saran wrap (I know it the best way to sell them at the farmer market), but it change the flavor some. I still love this Bakery.

Purchased several cookies at the Farmers Market this past weekend: milk chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, peanut butter, M & M, and oatmeal raisin. They were a buck each. Since their pies got such great reviews, I figured the cookies must be great, too… but that wasn’t the case. They looked good, but they tasted like they were a couple days old– kind of stale. The flavor wasn’t very good either.

I purchased this pie from our local meat market… thought it may be a bit pricey but looked amazing so I had to try it. It IS amazing!
I bought the apply pie and what sets this pie apart from the rest is the crust is amazing! It not only thick but very flavorful. I love how the apples are sliced and the over all texture of this pie is great!
I will definitely be buying pies for special occasions from them again.

I don’t think I have EVER had pies as good as the ones that come from this little shop. My stepmother ordered a few for Christmas gatherings and I was blown away.
The shop is open seasonally and takes orders in advance (though I understand that some are available from the counter as well).
My favorite: The Banana Split Pie. Give it a try and change your world! :)
Other than that I had the pecan and the triple-​berry, both of which were perfect!

mmmmmmmm Cherry Pie! — yeah really what’s not to like?
Bought the pie at Tracy Farmers Market for $ 5.
Filling was really delish– you could taste the cherries, the pie crust was pretty good too, not hard or doughy.
I am a fan of Kandi’s Pies!

A local secret– down a county road… no you are not lost– drive a little further & you’ll see this cute place on your left in a place you’d least expect it in an orchard. If you prefer to shop in town you can get these yummy treats at the farmers market which is open seasonally. Kandi’s is not open daily but of course they are open for the holidays… Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving… but sadly you cannot just pop in on a whim to pick up one of these yummy pies. I suggest ordering ahead around the holidays so your favorite pie will be there. Some of their top sellers do get sold out. Of course when that happens they always recommend something that becomes a new favorite– so I guess that’s not always a bad thing.
The parking lot is very tight & everyone who comes here seems to bring their truck or SUV so be warned that the closer to the holiday you come in, the more of a chance you will be waiting for a place to park or practicing your parking & backing up skills.
My sons favorite birthday cake is a Dutch apple pie from Kandi’s thank goodness he’s an Easter baby. If you come for your special order pies, bring a little extra cash, the treats in the display case are very tempting & worth taking home to try — the peach braided strudel is great, the cookies are yummy & FYI you can buy a frozen pie that you can bake at home if you want to impress your friends… and claim it as homemade… lol They even offer some sugar free pies.

We have had the holiday sugar cookies 2 years in a row as gifts. The first year we thought they were fantastic. We were looking forward to having them again the second year.

The pies are down right incredible. You can taste the fruit in her fruit pies the amount of sugar does not over power the flavor of the fruit. She makes the «best» sugar free pies as well. Her eclairs are marvelous. Many other items are sold especially during Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas when the retail store is open for business.
You can find her frozen unbaked pies in Brentwood at Tachella’s Fruit Stand during the late Spring to early Autumn months.
