Mission Pie

Our sweet menu is characterized by three things: Handmade pastry, fresh, ripe fruit, and a celebration of seasonality. Our all-butter crust is made in 65-pound batches and rolled entirely by hand. The flour we use is one-third white and two-thirds whole wheat pastry flour; the whole wheat flour is entirely California grown. We also make a vegan variation that is made with coconut and canola oils instead of butter. Using fresh fruit that is harvested for ripeness and flavor rather than long shelf-life enables us to keep the recipes simple a lot of fruit, a little sugar, seasoning, and thickener are all it takes to make our pies. Mission Pie customers celebrate spring with strawberry-rhubarb, enjoy a long summer full of berries and stone fruits, welcome fall with Pumpkin Pie, and sweeten their winters with apples, pears and citrus. Our bakers start the day at 5:00 am and the full menu is available by 8:00 am. Whole pies are 9 inches, feed 6 to 8, and are $20 or $22. We also serve all of our pies by the slice for $3.50 to $4.00, with complementary Straus Family Creamery organic whipped cream. For an additional treat, you can add a scoop of Straus Organic Vanilla Bean ice cream for $1.50. Enjoy a slice here, at home, or enjoying your favorite view our favorite view is looking out at the café tables and seeing folks of all ages and backgrounds enjoying slices of pie alone or together.

For the early morning crowd we offer scones and muffins to go with morning coffee or tea. We make a currant and a maple walnut scone in small, handmade batches every morning. We also make a carrot muffin which is both vegan and delicious, along with traditional blueberry, banana chocolate, or lemon poppy muffin. We're happy to accommodate breakfast pastry orders for larger groups just call a few days ahead to order.

Our pot pies make a hearty meal for one for $7. Making pot pies gives us a way to exlore various cultural cuisines through local ingredients. In addition to our traditional chicken pot pie (made with Mary's Organic Chicken) you may find a vegan Moroccan lentil pot pie, a Niman Ranch beef tamale pie, or a ratatouille pot pie. Pot pies are enjoyed in our café or taken home for an easy supper.

When looking for coffee and tea to serve with our pie we seek out companies whose interests and values match our own regarding sourcing and sustainability. We were glad to meet the folks at Taylor Maid Farms before we even opened Mission Pie. In addition to their commitment to roasting high quality coffee, this Sebastopol-based company has invested significantly in the economic and environmental sustainability of the growers that they work with. For tea drinkers, we source from three companies, Zhena's Gypsy Tea, Teatulia and Guayaki for teas and herbal blends. Sourcing from a range of companies enables us to offer a variety of loose leaf teas at an everyday price that pair well with our pie. Our coffees and teas are also available for bulk purchase for customers who prefer to have their coffee, tea or espresso drinks at home.
