Before we started the research for this story, we presumed Mission Pie would be a top contender, such is the storied magnificence of their pies. Organic, locally sourced, always fresh and always served with a smile, the walnut, mixed berry and banana cream are our favorites -- especially when topped with their house-made whipped cream. Also, vegans rejoice: There's pie aplenty for you too. Extra props go to Mission Pie for being a hang out spot the entire community can enjoy.

If you've never tried the Coconut Cream and Banana Cream pies in here, your life is simply not complete yet. The subtle attention to detail and sheer unadulterated expertise that goes into making each and every one of these is a true marvel to behold. The lightest lashings of fluffy sweet cream on top of a flaky, dark-chocolate-laced crust, the former comes with licks of fresh coconut, the latter with satisfying chunks of fresh banana. So far beyond good, they're practically evil.2128 Folsom
When we say these Babes make the most perfect pie in the city (possibly the world), we are not exaggerating. Their signature Salty Honey Walnut is so flavorful, so unique and so mouth-wateringly delicious, it is worth every penny of the five dollars they charge for one locally sourced, organic slice. Boozers rejoice too, for the trio also make a Bourbon Custard, in amongst their other unusual flavors (like Blood Orange Buttermilk and Pumpkin Cranberry Crumble). You can find the ladies in the back of the Stable Café in the Mission every Sunday. Get there early -- popular flavors sell out fast and for good reason. You've never tasted anything like this before.
