1) Native Foods Cafe
Leave it to organic sugar to bring on super sweetness. One slice of cheesecake is so rich, that between the creamy ginger granola-crusted bites and the blueberries on the side, stick a fork in it, you'll fill up fast. Good luck finishing it.
Price for a can't miss piece of pie: $2.95

2) Clementine
It's hard to catch the same piece of pie twice at this catering powerhouse that also serves rotating daily specials. The sweets menu is full of chocolate cookies, brownies, pastries galore and, naturally–pie. I ordered a piece of that day's special, the key lime pie. The brown sugar garnered crust stole the show, with the light whipped topping made the key lime middle addicting. No matter what the special is that day, mark this as a can't miss menu for a sweet tooth.
Price for a can't miss piece of pie: $3-$4 depending on pie of the day.

3) Fresh Corn Grill
A piece of pie by any name would taste as sweet–especially if it's the Apple Tarte Tatin. Immediately tasting of sweet caramel and sugar-glazed apples, the sweet top of the baked dessert set it apart from the other slices of the day. Sure, it's a tad pricey–but prepare to get what was paid for taste-wise. Insider tip: be sure to ask for vanilla ice cream, and plenty of it.
Price for a can't miss piece of pie:$4.95.
