This place is Amazing! Customer service is excellent. It is so nice to have this establishment in the neighborhood. Key Lime pie and the various pound cakes are my favorite items. Many items are available to purchase as slices.

I visited with my son and we had a great time. We tried both savory and sweet choices.SavoryI ordered the chicken pot pie, which comes with a biscuit as the crust and a savory soup. The soup was good and had large chunks of chicken meat, very filling. The biscuit isn’t a standard biscuit, it had some herbs in it. I wished the biscuit had a bolder taste.My son ordered the tuna sandwich. I normally don’t like tuna salad or sandwiches but I did take a bite and I kind of wished I had ordered the sandwich instead. It came with a side salad and my son thoroughly enjoyed it.SweetWe got a slice of peach pie with salted caramel, a cinnamon roll, and a lavender and lemon cookie. That cookie, wow!!! I tried a piece right before eating my food and immediately ordered another one. The cookies are huge and the lemon is present without being overwhelming. The lavender in the cookie was very nice and compliments the lemon. Probably the best presentation of lavender in a dessert I have ever had.The peach pie is solid but I wanted it to have more peaches. That cinnamon roll is crazy good and huge. The texture is really nice, lighter than a regular cinnamon roll and the icing is delicious. I was sneaking pieces of it at home when my son wasn’t looking.The space is super cute. I grew up in Chatham so it was nice to see the old building be repurposed. There isn’t a ton of seating so you could dine with a group but there is a table in the back that you might be able to used.The cashier was so sweet, very personable. All around great experience. I will be heading back, I need that cookie!

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and full description and explanation of the menu. I tried the shokupan cinnamon roll, salted caramel peach pie and banana pudding. My favorite was the peach pie; the caramel paired with the peach was so delicious and I loved the texture of the pie and crust! I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the banana pudding; I prefer a more mousse-like texture with a more vanilla-forward flavor and this one was more pudding-like. The flavor of the cinnamon roll was AMAZING but I wish it was a bit softer and warmer. However, I did go later in the morning and got one of the last rolls so this could have been because I didn’t get there early enough. Definitely a place that everyone should visit!

The squad Christina Tosi put together for Netflix "Bake Squad" was amazing. It includes Maya -Camille Broussard, flavor queen, Ashley Holt, cake expert, Gonzo Jimenzo, chocolatier and Christopher Rull, design mavericks this team had me glued to to series. But Maya Camille wins on the show kept me wondering about the savory and sweet flavor profiles she created. So when I was reading a local newspaper here in Chicago and saw an article that she would be opening a brick and mortar location I had to go. I didn't make the soft launch but I stopped by after church today. Let me start with the location, it's on the corner of 86th St and Blackstone, entrance on Blackstone and the kitchen view is on 86th. I saw Maya-Camille in the kitchen doing her thing and I started to have a fan moment but realized two things 1) due to a childhood accident she lost a % of her hearing 2) I didn't want the stalking fan moment. So I went into the facility and place my order. I wanted to try several things to find my favorites.I purchased the Tomato Basil Quiche, Lemon Pound cake, Key Lime Pie and a Shokupan Cinnamon roll ( it's a Japanese milk bread way too much cream frosting for me. But the roll was AMAZING. HECK everything was soo flavorful now I understand the "Queen of flavor" title she gained on the show. The location is clean and smells very nice honestly everything in the bakery and restaurant section was soo clean. She also sells trinkets like hoodies, tshirts, hats and other merchandise with her monogram saying on it "Hey Cutie Pie" I almost brought a hoodie until I saw a $85 price tag on it. But let me tell you the fabric was the business. It was thick and very good quality. Speaking of price do not go there expecting a $3.00 slice of pie or a whole cake for $40 it ain't happening. The ingredients of these goodies, the flavor and the service is beyond the cost. Everything was delicious May God continue to bless this family and Maya-Camille's ministry.

Visited this bright and adorable café in my childhood neighborhood last week with a friend to catch-up and chit-chat. The service was very good and attentive. We sat in the back with our coffee and order to eat there while they prepared our to go orders for our families. I ordered the bacon, feta quiche, sweet potato pie, cinnamon rolls and a coffee with hazelnut. The quiche came with a little salad and was good. I tried a bite of the cinnamon roll and it was phenomenal. The frosting was not super sweet like on a typical roll and the roll itself was soft, fluffy and really big enough for 2 people. Later in the day I tried the sweet potato pie and it too was really good. They offered a flight of pie with really interesting flavors that I was not to try that day but I look forward to going back soon. However, I will say I if you visit prepare yourself and wallet my bill was $50 For 4 bakery items and a coffee, not a complaint due to the price of food today just a heads up to those planning a visit.

Everything was a stand out - spinach feta bacon quiche, lemon pound cake, cinnamon roll. And the place is beautiful. We will be back!

I have been looking forward to visiting since the recent opening....and I am disappointed...AT ALL! I had a slice of Salted Caramel Peach pie, just delicious. My partner had the Earth, Wind and Fire, three slices...the container is empty even the chili one he wasn't exactly feeling it at first but then smashed all of it. I cannot wait to go back and try some of the other desserts and quiches. Thank you for bringing Justice of the Pies to this area, it is just what we needed.

I love coming to this place! Very friendly service and the peanut butter cookies are amazing. They also have fantastic assortment of pies that you can buy whole or as slices.

First the new location is open. 8655 S. BlackstoneChicago, IL 60619 OPEN FRIDAY-SUNDAY 9 AM - 5 PMI have to tell ya'll this cause google maps and map on I phone will give you wrong info.Anyway- YOU NEED SOME PIE JUSTICE. --this food here is exquisite. Without a doubt the lemon pound cake is THE BEST ever. The brownies are out of this world. Other customers remarked on pie and quiche. We will most assuredly be back!!

So excited Justice of the Pies has a brick and mortar store. I tried a lot of her work the last few years at pop up's and events around town. Her Strawberry Basil Key Lime Pie is just amazing. Probably not the first pie combo you think of but it works so well together. The spot is clean and beautiful. Barista made me a great cup of coffee while I waited and the cashier was super friendly and knew all about the menu.

The strawberry basil key lime is extremely delicious! I wish they were opened more days!

The rare occasion where a place is with the hype! Everything we had was delicious, absolutely nothing was bad but the pie as well as the banana pudding were the standout dishes. The teas I loved but because they were so well balanced. Quite far from a typically sweet tea. Yes the prices are good on the higher side but I can't think of a place with outstanding pies & tea under one roof anywhere else in the city. The treats let the natural flavor shine as opposed to places where they let you he sugar do all the talking. Prior to coming I told myself I wouldn't dare shell out this kind of money for a mere pie however I was wrong. The ice cream machine was down but I'm actually glad Twas because the pie alone by itself was to die for.

My sis told me about this place opening. Maya-Camille Broussard, the chef, has had pop-ups, and sells goods in some restaurants, but this is her first brick and mortar. We came by for the 'soft opening' (tba on the grand opening) and we could see the celebrity chef in the window baking! (She is deaf so please do not tap on the window!). Around the corner is the small interior (there appears to be a bench outside for sitting but we did not utilize it). A LONG line preceded us. We stood and moved a little steadily for a while. The inside has some seats along a counter, and a seating area (I think) further inside. It is very cozy in there, so if you elected to sit, it would be tight, with the line right behind you.This is right off Stoney Island at 87th. The front has a nice display case for cookies, pies, cheesecakes, quiches, cakes, brownies, a wide assortment! We were not going home directly so we picked foods that are good to eat on the go. I got the choc chip oatmeal cookie, my party got the lemon/basil cookie and brownie. All the treats were gorgeous to eat and look at! I don't usu care for lemon cookies but this was so good and flavorful!The order process was kind of hectic; while friendly and accepting of suggestions, it could be messy. If they were out of something but it was coming up, they would take the order and give you a written note to wait til the item was available. It is so congested in there, I don't know that I would have the patience for that. But it's better than waiting 15 min for nothing. They were very good about announcing being out of something. I think maybe an app would benefit the process. IF you like Maya-Camille Broussard's work and want a celeb siting, stop by there and check out the place, wave hello. There was merchandise such as her book, candles, and other objects by local vendors. When I have more time and less waistline, I'll come back for foods I can eat with a fork!
