This shop is delightful! The pies are stellar, from sweet to savory. We visited from KC and stayed across the street, were able to visit a few times. The hand pies are insanely good, unlike anything we have at home, unfortunately! We bought several mini-pies to take to a family dinner and all were a huge hit. The owners are great. Thank you!

If you like pie, you NEED to visit Windowsill Pies in New Orleans. As an avid home baker and foodie, I've been following them on Instagram for about a year now, and decided to finally take a trip to New Orleans and try their pies myself (they do not ship pies). In a foodie paradise like New Orleans, the bar is high and Windowsill Pies more than exceeds it. Absolutely worth a short trip outside the usual New Orleans tourist spots. Arrived mid-morning on Wednesday, to the delightfully bright-colored, quaint little shop. Skipped breakfast (and later lunch) just so we could sample almost all they had to offer. Co-owner Marielle Dupré, was friendly, gracious and incredibly helpful. In addition to her baking skills, also makes excellent espresso-based drinks. Try the honey latte. We literally worked our way through almost their entire display case. Pie flights really should be a thing. Windowsill Pies does an amazing job sourcing local, fresh, seasonal ingredients, so their menu changes with the seasons. The case was the embodiment of Fall, filled with creations made with apple, pumpkin and nuts. Windowsill Pies prides itself on being "Southern styled, French inspired and New Orleans baked" and it shows in each slice. The quality, craftsmanship and uniqueness in their pies is unparalleled. Started with their signature vanilla bean bourbon pecan pie. Made with butter browned with vanilla beans, Steen's cane syrup and Maker's mark, this is not your grandmama's pie nor is it the sticky sweet store-bought you might have settled for. Perfect blend of nutty and sweetness. Next up was Apple Frangipane tart. Honestly never had anything like it. A delicate blend of apple and almond flavors in a buttery tart crust. This was my husband's favorite. On to the gingered pumpkin tart with candied pepitas. Creamy with just the right hint of ginger. Round 2 was hand pies. While the Croque Madame were already sold out, the winter root vegetable more than made up for it. Comfort food that fits in your hand, the flavors packed in this small bite were sensational. The apple cheddar was filled with apples perfectly baked and a sharp cheddar with just the right punch. Our last bites in the store were of the almond laced apple pie. And while we were absolutely stuffed by this point, it was worth every bite. In addition to grabbing some merch (perfect for some out of state friends), we grabbed the most adorable and decadent mini chocolate tarts with Earl Grey caramel. We also bought one of the most gorgeous chicken pot pies I've ever seen. Reheated for dinner, it was flaky, savory perfection. Cannot recommend this place enough. Hope to be back again soon to try more of their incredible creations.

Don't think I have ever had pie that was more delicious than the two I had from Windowsill. The fruit is exquisite. The cherry pie we bought yesterday morning is almost gone - and there are just 2 of us. Can't give them enough praise. The crust is delish, light, and festive. Will be back for more...

A memorable slice of key lime pie.

Had the most wonderful lunch and dessert pies today at Windowsill. We will be stopping in again.

We didn’t have time to visit the store on our visit but we ordered in via DoorDash and the pies were just exquisite. The pecan pie really is to die for.

We stopped by for breakfast primarily because of how much we loved the name, and ended up being charmed by every single aspect of this place. The two owners are absolutely delightful to talk to, and were so helpful and friendly. The first day we got brown butter broccoli and cheddar quiche, an apple and cheddar hand pie, and an entire Neighbor's Bounty lemon tart to take back to our airbnb. We were sure we'd have leftover quiche but instead we ended up eating both as we stood around the counter and nearly rhapsodized over the crusts and the flavors and the presentation. We came back the very next day for the Lazy Summer Strawberry & Creme Pie, a crawfish hand pie, and some dark chocolate tarts with earl Grey caramel, and are already planning to go back in the morningI cannot stress how relieved I am that this place isn't local to me because I would try and live there. Between the absolutely charming owners, the life altering crust, and the entire vibe, it's one of my favorite spots we've found on our travels.If you're local to the area and don't go here once a week, I'm judging you. If you visit and don't go by at least once, I'm judging you. Stop hating your tastebuds and check out Windowsill Pies.

My husband and I have been popping into Windowsill Pies since it first opened and we absolutely love it! Friendly faces as well as a delicious menu and always has something new to try!
Delicious and beautiful pies to be had here both sweet and savory! Folks are super, too.
Rachel Swan
Always yummy treats-the small "bite sized" pies are a great gift/thank you! I love the ambiance and am so thankful they're on Freret!
Ginny Morrison
You MUST check out these pies (and savories)! Fantastic flavors and brilliant pastry technique. Also a fun place to hang out for events and run by good folks.

I dropped in during a busy holiday, paid a very fair price for a handmade pie and walked out a couple minutes later with the most delicious pecan pie I've ever tasted. This was THE BEST doggone pie I've ever had, period.Highly recommended.

The most amazing crust I have ever had on any pie, ever; my own, my grandmother's, any and all bakeries, Windowsill Pies' crust have no competition! and the fillings aren't too shabby, either. All the pies are great, and the pecan pie is life-changing.
