We came here for the banana pie for a friend of mine. Turns out those particular pies need to be ordered 24 hours in advance because they don't hold up very well when they just sit out all day. Which I appreciate them wanting you to really enjoy a quality pie.
The shop was small and cozy, but organized nicely with small tables and a counter facing the window.
The woman working there that day was super friendly and knowledgable. She seemed passionate about the brand and the culinary industry in general. She mentioned that the day before the space was rented out for a 50th birthday party with around 35 people. Which I thought was pretty interesting to be able to rent the place out. Cool idea!
We ended up getting one large apple pie and four mini pies including coconut and chocolate pecan.
Unfortunately my boyfriend ate the mini pies faster than I could take a good picture.
Over all I enjoyed the experience and the service we were giving in the shop. I enjoyed the pies, I thought they we good but not amaaazing like I had expected.
But I'll be back to try the banana pie and hopefully I will change my mind.
What a pleasant hidden gem! I had go to the dry cleaners and I stopped by this little bakery close by because my daughter was hungry. So we got a little snack. She got a blueberry muffin and tea while I got Columbian coffee. Tod, the owner of this bakery was there and 2 words: Southern Hospitality! He was so friendly, something a lot of us Jersey/NY folks lack nowadays! Anyway, definitely recommend this charming little bakery 🙂 The pies and pastries looked amazing. Tod was also telling us how he is about to go to a pie competition soon so next time I will definitely be checking out the pies!
I gave Mr. Tod 3 stars, not solely based on taste of his product but Overall.
I first came to learn of Mr. Tod's Pie Factory from a little television show called Shark Tank, which He appeared on. And not just an appearance, was a winner on the show. He managed to scour a deal out of those tight wads who always want All or Most of your business. So when I saw that, and saw that it was one of the few black owned businesses in Bergen County…I knew one day I would have to pay him a visit. But how I came about my first encounter happened on a Wednesday late afternoon and on a freak whim. Nonetheless, the little bakery shop seen on tv was staring right in front of me between a hair salon and business (restaurant) coming soon.
Upon entering the shop, I greeted Mr. Tod [whom was working the counter, and with no other employees in site] with a "Hi, I've seen you before face…I saw you on Shark Tank." He was none impressed and gave me a dry hi back. That quickly changed the tone, but I tried to stay upbeat and inquire on his SoHo location, which has since shut down. He asked me what I would like, quickly I told him his famous SWEET POTATO PIE!
He told me they don't have any 🙁 His sweet potato pie Was/Is his signature pie and he didn't have any for me. "How come I ask," he replied, "I don't have the equipment"…and would not have it for another month. So because I still wanted to generate some business his way I purchased two pecan baby bite pies (which were incredibly sweet and yummy; your trainer is going to work you hard just to burn off those calories) and a chocolate chip muffin (which has a hard crunchy exterior and soft crumbly interior), 3 tiny desserts cost me a total of $9. Kinda pricey. A whole pie is $25. I get it, he has to pay that hefty Bergen county commercial rent.
Leaving, I thought I'd go back…but upon going back, his sign that says Opens at 7 am does not really open at 7 am, more like 9 or whenever he gets there. Second visit, arrived at 9 am, he wasn't opened, swung back around at 9:30 am still nobody. Third visit, opened and had a new young kid working the register. So decided to get a few more of the bites and muffin (same consistency as the first experience.
Overall, the shop has a nice local coffee shop vibe, pretty clean, but hot…all the ovens were cookin' pies and there was no A/C. The owner needs to work on his conversation to be long lasting shop owner in the community, build a rapport with your customers, its what will keep them coming back to you instead of finding a new place.
SWEET POTATO PIE!!!
Every time we stop by Mr. Tod's, that's the first words out of our mouth – "Is your Sweet Potato Pie in stock?" Because it's not always in stock. Last time, we waited a month for it to available. The explanation? Mr. Tod's preferred stock of sweet potatoes were out, so he was waiting for the right shipment to be available before making more. That should tell you something about the quality of this place.
We've had the pleasure seeing the owner man the store on some occasions and he's always cheery and polite.
If you don't want to commit to full sized pie, mini-pies are available.
YUM!
