Petaluma Pie Company

You don't have to tell me twice...

Petaluma Pie Company
125 Petaluma Boulevard

Petaluma, CA

Nestled in a shady courtyard a few yards from bustling Petaluma Boulevard is the Petaluma Pie Company, teasing passersby with smells of fresh-baked, buttery pie crusts oozing with hot fruit mixtures or savory meat fillings.

There’s not much to the interior of the bakeshop; then again, what more do you need other than a coffee condiment bar, a glass case displaying glistening fruit pies, a menu listing that day’s savory pie options, and a few tables where you can sit and scarf it all down?

A “Hand Pie” sounded a little more reasonable that a pot pie or beef-filled concoction so early in the morning, so my buddy and I each ordered the Bacon & Egg, an option not on the menu board but suggested by the nice girl behind the counter.  We settled at a table outside with delightful views of a speakeasy and local tattoo shop before stabbing into the golden crust with our three-pronged forks.

A flaky crust sealed and crimped in an empanada-style half-moon encased fluffy scrambled egg and crispy bacon.  This would be a great snack to have handy while window-shopping if you’re not prone to getting pie crust shards stuck in your lipstick like I am (classy).

Try their sweet and savory options, and wait to apply your lipstick until after breakfast.
