I really enjoyed your article but now I’m starving. I’m wondering what I can substitute for olallieberries. They sound delicious.

So interesting. Looking forward to tasting your pie. No lard necessary.

Why do I get sooo hungry (even after just eating breakfast) after one of your posts? The pie sounds delicious!

I was in Cambria a few years ago to see the Hearst Castle but I've heard of this place. Thanks for sharing!

David and I often stopped in Cambria on our way to visit our daughter in San Francisco years ago. It’s where I first heard of and fell in love with not only Cambria, but also olallieberry pie. We always visited Linn’s and I even bought some flatware in the shop there, which I am still using. (Villeroy & Boch) I LOVE the place! Also bought a wedding gift for a niece in one of the galleries there. So glad you discovered it; it’s a real find!

Love the idea of a 'boutique berry.' Definitely intrigued by the ollalieberry -- never heard of it before! And isn't it funny that central California can house two different places by the name of Tin City? It's also a wine-tasting enclave in Paso Robles. Anyway, loved reading this and am yearning for some pie!

Thanks for the comment, Annette! I don't think you have to be a foodie to love pies--and really it's just a lot of down-home sort of food. Even if you weren't a pie lover, you'd find something you'd want to eat! And they have a nice loo too!😉

My mouth is watering. I had never heard of the olalliberry.

I passed Cambria last summer and I DIDN'T KNOW! I'll know for next time, so I can do that thing where I say to husband "Let's stop in Cambria to use the loo....Oh, look! A pie shop!" and he rolls his eyes but parks anyway. He's lovely but not a foodie. Thanks for the tip, because this is clearly a find. ❤️
