    Owner Elena, did not grow up with pies, but fell in love with them! "I like the idea of, and abundance of, fruit, lightly sweetened and enclosed in a buttery pie crust, that has sugar-only sprinkled on top," said Elena. "Our Pies are the best around and are very pretty. Our pie dough and all our fillings are made from scratch. The berries are grown in Watsonville, as well as our apples and they are organic.

    Sweet Elena's is also offering a 9" pumpkin cheesecake spiced up with Fresh Ginger.
    For Thanksgiving, one of Sweet Elena's dear ex-team member came up with the most delicious vegetarian mince pie (Mary's Mince Meat Pie) and now it has become a tradition to make it every year using apples, pears, quinces, dried figs, currants and lots of brandy, and we leave it to marinate for a month. Trying it will reconcile you with mince pie. In addition, we will taste our lemon tart that is truly divine as well as the classics pies pumpkin, pecan, apple, ollalieberry, strawberry rhubarb, apple crumble and more!
