15 Places In South Carolina Where You Can Get The Most Mouth-Watering Pie

It's PIE time! My mom loved nothing better that a nice slice of pie and a cup of hot coffee. She passed that love down to me. Pie is just so pretty that it's like a work of art. The beautiful, flaky, hand-rolled crust that has been crimped and fluted, laced, and cut into shapes is just marvelous to look at. The fillings can be as different and as many as there are colors in a mega box of crayons! Plus, they are so delicious... Okay. I'm making myself hungry and I have to write this article. I have found 15 places in South Carolina where you can get the best tasting, most mouth-watering pie you've ever had in your life! Can you say road trip time? Come on!

1. Carolina Cider Company, 81 Charleston Hwy, Yemassee

"Best pecan pie in South Carolina!" That's exactly what it says in the Southern LIving magazine and they may just be correct. Of course, they have many different types of pies and you should go down there and pick up one or two or three. You can never have too many pies!

2. Miller's Bread Basket, 483 Main St, Blackville

Amish-Mennonite cooking at its finest! Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious. Their desserts are melt in your mouth goodness. Oh, by the way, the above is cappuccino cheesecake.

3. Page's Okra Grill, 302 Coleman Blvd, Mt Pleasant

Everything here is made with fresh ingredients, passion, and a deep love for what they do. It shows in their food and especially in their pies. Look at that generous portion...oh myyyy!

4. CJ's Cakes & Catering, 315 S 5th St, Hartsville

You know when you say, "Just like my mom used to make...?" well, you can't go wrong here because I'm letting you know that these pies give you that same warm and cozy feeling.

5. Two Chefs Delicatessen & Market, 104 S Main St #105, Greenville

Here you'll find amazing pies with a gourmet flair. They offer so much more here that you'll want to have a sit down meal. Don't forget the pie! Key Lime is a favorite.

6. Carmella's Cafe & Dessert Bar, 198 East Bay St, Charleston

They've been featured on Food Network and there's no doubt as to why. Pictured above are there small lemon meringue tarts (that's a small pie) with the prettiest meringue on top. They look so whimsical and they taste even better!

7. Strossner's Bakery & Cafe, 21 Roper Mountain Rd, Greenville

Talk about pie becoming an addiction? If I were closer to Strossner's, it could definitely be a problem...

8. Freeman's Bakery, 1307 2nd Loop Rd, Florence

Freeman's has been serving Florence since 1964. It's kept Florence in fresh baked goods ever since and they just keep getting better and better. What you see above is lemon meringue pie. Doesn't it look perfect?

9. Ever So Sweet Bakery, 1525 Old Trolley Rd, Summerville

Okay, it may look like I have a thing for lemon meringue pie today, but I just can't help myself. The meringue is so gorgeous and I love the swirl on these. It's a bit different. They're supplying Summerville with many different beautiful and absolutely tasty pies as well as other goodies!

10. Silver Spoon Bakery, 2507 Devine St, Columbia

"Incredible...simply incredible!" I hear these words all the time when I ask people what they think of the pies at Silver Spoon. And, it's really no wonder. I think they pull "lovin" from the oven!

11. P.I.E. Bake Shoppe, 5 Warren St, Charleston

PIE is doing something right because people come back again and again. They use fresh, quality ingredients, mix in their heart and souls, and out comes some of the most prettiest and tastiest pies you'll ever have! They cater weddings as well and have some really good sandwiches, but don't forget the pie...never forget the pie!

12. The Sweetery, 1814 E Greenville St, Anderson

Jane obviously loves what she does because she's been doing it for over 30 years. They have been written up in Southern LIving, Good Housekeeping, and Cooking with Paula Dean. Stop on by if you get the chance. You'll see friendly faces and loads of delicious treats and pies.

13. Crumb Buns Bakery, 809 Hwy 17 S, North Myrtle Beach

They are famously known for their wedding cakes, but they should be famously known for their pies as well. That's some mile high meringue on top of that delicious pie!

14. The Little Bakeshoppe, 1552 Whiskey Rd, Aiken

We should sing for pie at this place because it's that good! No joking. Baked fresh daily with fresh ingredients, they're just absolutely amazing!

15. Cakehead Bakeshop, 188 W Main St, Spartanburg

They always say to save the best for last! These guys are putting out something that should be banned it's so scrumptious! If you're ever in the area or if you're riding that way, please stop in and grab one or two slices or a whole pie for the road.

Pie has been on the backburner as desserts go for a long time while cakes and cupcakes have taken on a new angle. It seems to me that pie is making the comeback now as more and more bakeries are discovering the artistry of all that comes with baking something as simple and as wonderful as pie. Now, go out and get yourself a beautiful thick slice or just buy a whole one to take home. You won't regret it.

By the way, what's your favorite pie? I'll let you know that my favorite is key lime and lemon meringue, and maybe apple and blackberry...okay, it's just too hard to choose. Let us know your favorite in the comments below!
