The whole pies here are an excellent price, and they're super easy to order from. I just placed my order online same day and picked up in the afternoon. I love seeing what seasonal pies they offer (chocolate cream pie for winter) since they are always changing it up with new flavors! Their pores are rich and full of flavor without being overly sweet. No seating inside but there are some parks nearby

I picked up a blackberry crumble pie (which I heard was really good but sadly was all gone by the time I went to get a slice) and also got a pie crust to make my own pie. I have made my own crusts but find it oddly intimidating and theirs was so much better than the one you can get at the grocery store (ok so it's a lot more $ but also love supporting our local businesses). Service was quick and super friendly.

We went in one day and bought 4 slices, because why choose just one? We tried the berry crumble, the bourbon pecan ,the chocolate pecan, and the apple. Clear winner with our group was the bourbon pecan. Caramel pecan decadence is the only way to describe it. And their crust is thick but flaky..... lamination on point. Close second was the berry crumble, tart and bursting with flavor. Only to be made better by warming it up a bit with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.... Sheesh. Make the stop & pick up a pie. You won't regret it.

Delicious pie! I'm usually not a fan of pecan pie but my partner loves it. I ordered the bourbon pecan pie for his birthday and this was decadent. The crust reminded me of baklava. The filling was sweet and there are plenty of pecans. My partner loved the pie and I was surely impressed. We would definitely order pies from here again. The pies are on the pricier side but they seem to be handmade and fresh.

I've only got pies for Three Babes Bakeshop. I love supporting local businesses, especially when female and BIPOC led businesses on which their claim to fame comes from a stand at a local Farmers Market. The success of Three Babes Bakeshop belongs to the steadfast loyalty of owner Lenore Estrada, who remains the last of the three co-founders still remaining with the company, as they have been around since 2011. Estrada has taken her love of baking pies as a child to a whole new level after graduating from the Ivy League and experiencing a stint in the tech, the concept of turning a passion of pies seemed like the impossible dream, but it has now become the dream fulfilled as they have storefront in the Mission neighborhood for online ordering and pickups in addition to walk-in orders, and of course their signature stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market every Saturday afternoon. Run by the nonprofit Foodwise, what makes these highly popular farmers markets stand out is that they proudly showcase some of the best local and sustainable farms, food makers, and restaurants from throughout the Bay Area. Yes, vendors drive from far and wide just to open their stand every week here at the epicenter of San Francisco transportation and tourism, as the ferry terminal entrance overlooks the Farmers Market and the Embarcadero subway station is mere blocks away. You'd be surprised at the energy that the Embarcadero has on any given weekend, as the rays of the sun beats down on people walking and riding their bikes, there is literally an energy that cannot be beat. That's why I was so glad to see Three Babes Bakeshop still having their covered booth at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. You can't miss them, as they are located on the backside of the Ferry Building on the right hand side as you make your way towards one of the ferry piers. What makes the presentation at Three Babes Bakeshop so nice is that they have all of the pies that they are selling on any given day on their table as examples of what they have to offer. The slices are 8 dollars per slice, which of course is not the most affordable pricing, but is realistic what things are being sold for in our current times. I liked that they grouped up their pies in terms of texture and toppings, as all of their cream pies were lined up in front, their traditional pies were in the middle row, while their nut based pies like pecan and peanut butter were listed in the back row. I ordered a slice of their Banana Cream Pie and a slice of their Samoa Pie. With a total of 16 dollars before gratuity was added in, I was out the door in no time flat with my two compostable cartons filled with a slice each. The staff made sure to mark every new pie that they were cutting into to make sure that inventory for next week would be replenished with the appropriate amount of pies that they bring out to the Farmers Market to sell. When I got home I decided to eat their Samoa Pie first, as it was their special limited time only pie is modeled after the beloved Girl Scout cookie, and is a combination of Guittard chocolate, salted caramel, toasted shredded coconut, topped with fresh organic Straus whipped cream all, served on their homemade chocolate graham cracker crust. This pie, although delicious, was a little on the sweeter side. Their Banana Cream Pie is filled with vanilla bean pastry cream and freshly sliced bananas and then is topped with fresh organic Straus whipped cream and dark chocolate served on a traditional baked pie crust. This pie proves why Three Babes Bakeshop is such a revered local institution as the pie came with organic pastry ingredients, in addition to ingredients that were so thoughtfully assembled as they source from local farms, many of which are very well-known including Old Dog Ranch, Hidden Star Orchards, Yerena Farms, Balakian Farms, Tory Farms, Frog Hollow Farm, and G.L, Alfieri, among others. I do wish that they were participating at more Farmers Market because getting to their storefront in the Mission can be a challenge, which is exemplified by a lack of updates on their social media channels. But the fact that Three Babes has grown from a tiny pop-up into San Francisco's most popular purveyor of artisanal pies is something we should all be celebrating, so here's to hoping their storefront is just the beginning of their success story.

Small little bake shop that sells really delicious pies! You can buy by the slice or a full pie. I got the key lime pie slice and it was so good! The perfect sourness and sweetness to it. I loved the pie crust, it wasn't super crumbly. The size of the slice is pretty generous too!

This is a great pie shop in the city. If you enjoy pies with thick crusts, this is the place for you! I recently tried the pumpkin pie and the bourbon pecan pie. I was hesitant on getting the pumpkin pie because I wasn't sure if $45 was worth it for a fairly simple pie, but I was proved wrong. This pumpkin pie tastes distinctly unique and better than any other pumpkin pies I've had before. Most pumpkin pies just taste sweet, but you can actually taste the spices and buttery flavors of this one. This is a great option if you don't want anything too overly sweet! The bourbon pecan pie is a popular one here, but personally I didn't enjoy it as much. It was way too thick and heavy for me. A couple bites of a slice was plenty for me. Pro tip - do not make the mistake of placing an online order in the morning and assume they'll set aside what you ordered for you. I placed an online order for an apple pie at 9am with intentions to pick it up at 1pm. But I was told that the apple pie had already sold out, and they didn't honor my online order choice. This was very disappointing!
