What is Edith's Pie?
We’re an all day pie shop and cafe specializing in savory, sweet, and beyond. Edith’s Pie started as a thanksgiving pop-up in 2019. Edith’s grew to become weekly pop-ups during 2020, and has since found a permanent home in uptown Oakland - now operating four days a week.
Edith’s Pie is owned by Mike Raskin and Jeff Wright.

How do you make your pies?
We believe in supporting sustainable food systems. Our menu is informed largely by California seasonality. Meaning you will not find an apple pie on our menu in July.
Everything we do is handmade by a small team; roughly 6 to 10 people at any given time.

Can I freeze my pie?
While we always suggesting diving into them the day you get them, many pies will hold up ok to freezing. We can’t guarantee their quality, but if you choose to, we’ve found the best method is to freeze it fully, then double wrap it in plastic, before wrapping it in aluminum foil. like that it should keep for a month or two.
Allow it to defrost in the refrigerator.
Fruit pies can be reheated in the oven at 350º topped with foil for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Do not reheat custard or cream pies.

Do you accept tips?
Tipping has been a topic of heavy discussion in this industry for decades. when we opened the cafe, we followed suit, and created a policy for our employees that we thought was fair based on the idea that we had to participate in a tipped system, falling in line only because “that’s how it’s done”. In reality, we never actually want to participate in any racist or class dividing systems of any kind - tipping having a very well-documented and challenging past on those scores. now, with over a year of data on cash flow in our brick and mortar + beyond, we are making a very welcomed change.
On August 13th 2024, we eliminated tipping from our cafe and farmer’s market operations. We provided raises across the board for our previously tipped staff, as well as a starting wage increase for any future employees. To do this, we slightly increased our prices on whole and half pies (though slices will stayed the same). -
