We went to the soft opening this week. It was kind of like Flaky Tart “light” as they had fewer things out, but they said they are ramping up to full soon. They are in the old Flaky Tart space on Main St.
I grabbed this off their facebook page:

Those are some eye opening prices.

Exactly my thought. I don’t buy many baked goods, but $30+ for a pie?!? Is that normal these days?

To be fair, Flaky Tart always had high prices. In good times it was usually worth it.
Were they THAT high? As I said, I rarely buy baked goods, but that’s the kind of money I’d expect to pay for a decorated cake (not that a pie doesn’t take work)!

True, I remember paying precious prices for a SLICE of mac n cheese when they added savory items but even Sickles, DOrchards and Wegmans wouldn’t charge that for a 6 slice pie. Feeds 8-10?..not my tribe.

Beyond the prices being quite high, I’m also very amused by that first line about substitutions will be politely declined. LOL!!!

Yeah good luck with that. Also a single 9” pie feeding 8-10? They ain’t never been to a Ukrainian house I can tell you that !

For all you Flaky Tart fans, here’s news (edited by me) from today’s APP:
Matthew Rosenzweig, a pastry chef and former co-owner of The Flaky Tart in Atlantic Highlands, began construction on The Baker’s Grove, previously a Billabong outlet store at the Grove in Shrewsbury in the spring. He hopes to open at the end of September. A former Flaky Tart employee joins him as pastry manager and Chris Gianfrancesco, most recently of Charlie’s of Bay Head, is culinary manager.

I’ve seen the stuff he’s posting on Instagram, the stuff looks unreal. Nice looking salads in addition to baked stuff. Can’t wait for this spot to open

Dearborn Farms & Delicious Orchards get $22-$27 for a pie. & I find them unexceptional. So, $30 for a pie? Well, I wouldn’t mind selling a few $30 pies…

I make my own pies so am not in the market. But I’ll say. With a homemade crust and the filling (not counting rest time) I’m looking at an hour at least. When I think about hourly rates $22 isn’t terrible for a pie.
