Massachusetts Restaurant Is One Of The Best Places For Pie In The U.S.
With autumn in full bloom and Thanksgiving around the corner, there is only one dessert item that takes center stage: pie. The Food Network named the best bakeries for pie in America and a Massachusetts restaurant was named.
“Something about the buttery crust and rich filling brings comfort and nostalgia to the table, and we’ve rounded up plenty of restaurants dishing out just-like-mama-made pecan, pumpkin and apple pies,” Food Network explained.
During the fall months, the most common pies tend to be pumpkin and apple. They are both relative to the season and a staple on the Thanksgiving dessert table.
However, in Massachusetts, the best pie aligns with a Boston hotel with a lot of history.
Omni Parker House
“The Boston Cream Pie is a timeless, culinary creation dating back to 1856.” the Omni Parker House explains about their original Boston Cream Pie. This popular dessert was first created and served at the opening of Boston’s Parker House. It has remained among the most popular items here ever since.
At Parker’s restaurant, they serve their famous Boston Cream Pie. In fact, they also ship frozen pies anywhere in the country. Traditionally, this pie serves more like a cake. It has layers of golden sponge cake and is topped with chocolate icing and filled with cream.
Renowned chef and Food Network personality Beau Macmillan spoke of the Boston Cream Pie at Parker’s on their Best Thing I Ever Ate show.
In Food Network’s list, they also give a nod to two other New England establishments. In addition to this Massachusetts restaurant being named among the best for pie in America, here are two other places to check out in the region. The Apple Barn & Country Bake Shop in Bennington, Vermont is highlighted for its apple pie. The Berry Manor Inn in Rockland, Vermont, is well-known for their specialties such as blueberry, cherry or peach pie.
These Massachusetts Chains Actually Have Great Bagels
#4 Gunther Tooties
There are five Gunther Tooties locations from Foxborough down to the South Shore. The owner of this chain worked in a New York bagel shop before taking over the first location in Pembroke. Moreover, a few of their spots offer drive-through. The “French Toast” bagel listed under the New York Style portion of the menu is always hard to resist.
#3 The Bagel Dudes
Sometimes known as “The Bagel Shop” (like their Chatham location), this is a family operated chain business that has a significant presence in eastern Massachusetts and in Florida. Everything is baked fresh onsite. If you’ve ever wondered what Chocolate Chip Cookie flavored Iced Coffee takes like, they have 22 different variations here. And it tastes as good as it sounds.

#2 Cafe Fresh Bagel
There are five Cafe Fresh Bagel restaurants all within about 30 minutes of each other. This is my bagel breakfast sandwich spot. I keep it simple when I go there, with a classic: bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel.
