But you still have time! Celebrate this long, lazy weekend with a delicious summer fruit pie from Betty!
Summertime pies ready to be sold to you!
Blueberry, peach crumble, and strawberry-rhubarb.

If a whole pie is too much, try an individual rustic pie.
They change with the seasons and are currently peach and blueberry.

Sweet peach pie, with a hint of cinnamon

Come in for a slice and a latté.

We’re baking all day, so stop by to pick up your favorite or order ahead of time to ensure that someone else hasn’t already picked it up!
