Pickles Pie Shop

If leaving a voicemail to reserve a pie sounds like too much work, Pickles Pie Shop—a small bakery in a Hansel-and-Gretel-looking cottage in Big Bear City— might not be for you. But we promise a wedge of their blueberry thyme crumble or dutch apple pie is worth the effort: The owners bake pies from scratch daily using local fruit and lots of butter. Whole pies must be ordered a day in advance for pickup, but you can also pop in the same day for a slice of what's in season—just know they often sell out by late morning.
