Summer Pies at Zingerman’s Bakehouse

These summertime favorites are here for a limited time.  Get a taste while you can…

  • Michigan Rhubarb Pie
    Enjoy this sweet tart summer treat for a limited time! We lovingly craft this pie with our flaky all-butter crust and simple filling of fresh Michigan rhubarb and a bit of sugar. When the local rhubarb runs out, this pie will go on vacation.
  • Country Peach Pie
    Just as summery and precious as you imagine- lots of fresh peaches with a bit of sugar and real vanilla bean packed into an all butter crust, topped with a flavorful streusel we make with organic brown sugar, organic rolled oats and browned butter. A staff favorite!
  • Fresh Fruit Tarts
    Fresh berries arranged over vanilla bean pastry cream and a crisp, buttery tart shell made with a hint of fresh citrus. This is what summer tastes like! Each tart is one serving.
  • Sweet Cream Biscuits
    We hand-mix these biscuits so they are moist and fluffy to hold a heap of delicious fruits. Perfect for farmer’s market days. Available individually or in a family six pack.
  • Key Lime Pie
    A creamy tangy filling made with real Key Lime juice and a bit of local sour cream in a graham crust. Try topping it with a bit of of sweetened whipped cream to really put it over the top. Available in small and large sizes.
