Piefee

Pies have become more "gourmet" in the last decade, and Piefee does it well at a reasonable price. On the savoury side, I've tried the vegetarian pie and vegetarian quiche, both of which are incredible - literally among the best pies I've ever had, and I don't usually like pies. They also do incredibly good custard pies (which are a personal guilty pleasure) and I suspect their other sweet treats are also great. Their signature food/drink and namesake is the "Piefee" (pie + coffee). A novel idea (and nice to try at least once), it consists of a coffee that uses a pie crust base as a "cup". The crust has a caramel-like liner, preventing the coffee from seeping through, and sweetening the coffee as you drink it. Overall, highly recommend trying a pie here

Been meaning to visit Piefee for a while. Their Piefee coffee is an interesting concept, worth trying but make sure you read their instructions (on the menuboard) before doing the wrong thing lol. Their supreme pie award listing - chicken spinach feta pie was good. The pastry was nice and flaky, the filling was good however not up my alley as i would pair with a good hot sauce. Their spicy prawn and donuts seem to be a hit with others - overheard most ordering those, something for next time. Staff is super friendly.

Had breakfast here while on business trip in Auckland Sep 2022. The weather was nice during this transition period between winter and aping and it wasn’t raining though it was forecasted to. Walked here from hotel on Queen St. it’s along the main road and hard to miss. Place was busy (mostly take out) while I was there. Good variety of hot food (pies but also sandwiches) and the usual breakfast fare of croissants and donuts. Had the curry lamb pie with hot chocolate - both were very good. Woman before the counter is super nice. Recommended for breakfast. Was here at 730 am and not many places were open.

We stopped by to grab some drinks and snacks for morning tea. I was wanting to try their piefee (but chocolate) but they weren't serving them until they were open for sit down service again. The piefee is a coffee served in a sweet pie crust. I ended up getting an iced chocolate and the custard doughnut. Both were tasty but the chocolate cover of the doughnut was mostly in the paper bag after bringing it back. I also tried the cheese scone and the caramel slice and both were tasty. I am keen to try the chocolate piefee once they are back.

When I heard there were coffees inside pie shells I had to give it a go. PieFees are mini pie shells lined with caramel and chocolate, then filled with the drink of your choice! I opted for a flat white and my partner got a mocha. That was a hot chocolate heavy but he learned his lesson and got a regular flat white in it next time. I’m able to get decaf and non dairy milk too. The coffees are excellent even if you don’t get a PieFee and the staff are so nice. We came in once after they had put the chairs up and we’re going to get our coffees to go, but they offered right away we could sit in there to have our drinks if we wanted and chucked a few chairs back down. We didn’t even ask, they just offered. The cabinet food selection is good too and I usually get the spinach feta quiche. Sweet and savory both available. Fresh bread is available and very soft, not overly hard crust like a lot of places. Perfect spot to sit in the morning on a weekend or lazy afternoon during the week for a break. Make sure to sip a PieFee over your plate or with your plate. Don’t be like my partner and eat the shell while the coffee is still in it 🙃
