Open one day a week and has a sign showing someone violently striking another person for not wearing a mask and refusing to sell to them in October 2023. Ugh.
We got lucky and went in a Saturday when they were open. Seems like you must order ahead online for pickup unless you get lucky like we did today. We bought the last peanut butter cookie, 2 chocolate eclairs and 2 carrot cake muffins. OMG they were all SUPER DELICIOUS!!! We immediately looked at their website and made an order to pickup next Sat. I guess it’s good they are only open on Saturdays or we would be in there too often for our own good. They are sooo delicious!! Love Love Love their baking !!!!!
We stayed in Cortez, CO on our way to Mesa Verde and I looked up a bakery to stop at. The Pie Maker had great reviews and looked friendly! They were open for order pickups on Saturday, we were there on Tuesday. I reached out before we left on our road trip and they stayed in touch with me and we arranged a time I could pick up our order.
The mini strawberry-rhubarb pies are great you’ll taste both flavors! The mini apple pie crumble is crunchy and there’s a little extra cinnamon kick with the apples. We also got some cookies. The molasses cookies were awesome, and the peanut butter cookies deserve a big glass of milk! Excellent customer care and friendly shop!
Had the pleasure of trying the apple and autumnal hand pies from The Pie Maker while visiting Cortez recently and they're absolutely delicious! Wonderful homemade pies and friendly, helpful staff. Try them while you're in town; it'll be worth it!
The only thing more delightful than the pastries is the owners. Such amazing people!!! But ok, the pastries are friggin’ amazing too. Worthy of a big city expensive bakery, this very fairly priced bakery delivers VERY delicious goods in such a lovely little town. I was just passing thru on my way to the parks but will forever make a detour anytime I’m near. Not to be missed!
Fantastic small local business. We had the mini pecan pie, a chocolate chip cookie, and a nitro cold brew. Everything was delicious! Owners are friendly! Highly recommend!!
I've had the pleasure of enjoying both savory and sweet pies from the Pie Maker...and they are FAN.TAS.TIC. The hubbard-green chile savory pie: I could eat this every day and not grow weary. Their gluten-free chocolate torte takes you off that chocolate precipice into Choco-Lovely Land. Many thanks to Tim and Shani for purveying such fine pies, located in scenic Cortez just off of Main Street!
