Share All sharing options for: The Perfect Texas Hill Country Pie Road Trip, Mapped
Springs and summers are made for road trips, and pies are the perfect nice weather dessert, so why not combine the two with a massive pie journey around the Texas Hill Country?
Begin up north in Georgetown with Monument Cafe’s magnificent chocolate pied, trek out to Marble Falls for Blue Bonnet Cafe’s fluffy meringues, veer through Austin for some itsy-bitsy options from Tiny Pies, loop out into Fredericksburg for seasonal fruit pies featured Fredericksburg Pie Company, venture into the far west direction for Lost Maples Cafe’s varieties in Utopia, and so on.
For more pie, check out Austin’s best takes, as well as the city’s outstanding bakeries. Explore the rest of the Hill Country, from restaurants to barbecue spots.

Enjoy the greatness of the American roadside cafe at the daytime Georgetown restaurant, and sweeten the ambiance with the classic chocolate or coconut cream pies, or try a fried pie of the day topped with ice cream. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are 48-hour advance pie orders available; and there are indoor dine-in services.
This charming Marble Falls restaurant is so serious about pie, from the stellar meringues (the lemon is excellent) to fruit-jammed ones to the apple made without added sugar. There are whole pies and slices available. While, yes, it’s a bit out of the way, it’s a worthy stop along the road trip. Takeout orders can be placed over the phone for curbside pickups;whole pie preorders can be placed online for specific days; and there are indoor dine-in services.
Duck back into Round Rock for this charming bakery that pulls influences from its co-owners’ backgrounds in Mexico and Bolivia through the sweet and savory menus. The really good pies, though, are classic American, with all sorts of fruit options like strawberry rhubarb and Dutch apple, as well as peanut butter and bourbon pecan. Takeout orders can be placed in person or over the phone; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas.

Pie portions can be hefty, so might as well make one of those servings a tiny one. Not just a gimmick, these small pies are made with well-sourced ingredients by the mother/daughter team with bakery locations throughout the city. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online; typically there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas.
The vintage shop clearly has the right attitude about pie. Its slogan is: "Where good pie is more than a memory.” The menu spans cream, fruit (yes, peach is an option), and pecan. There are also pies made with Splenda for those who want the baked goods without sugar. Takeout orders can be placed in person; whole pie preorders can be placed over the phone; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas. Check the bakery’s website ahead of time because it’s been taking days off throughout the year.
Kyle is the pie capital of Texas for a very sweet reason. The restaurant features a giant fake pie fixed to the awning, and yes, the pie is really good. The menu is very long, so there’s always a new flavor to try — the strawberry-peach sounds dreamy. Takeout orders can be placed in person or online; there are indoor dine-in areas. Currently, the bakery’s national shipments are on pause because it’s too hot for shipping pies.
