Elijah Pies – Indulge in Handcrafted Pies at Their New Tanjong Pagar Café

Elijah Pies, a homegrown pie maker, has recently found a new home in trendy Tanjong Pagar. With their visually striking designs and innovative flavour combinations, Elijah Pies has captured the hearts of dessert enthusiasts since its founding in 2014. Now, with their first dine-in café, they are ready to take the pie experience to the next level.

It all started when owner Elijah Tan crafted the perfect Nutella pie to satisfy his girlfriend’s cravings. Through countless experiments and dedication, he created the perfect recipe. Today, Elijah’s girlfriend is now his fiancée, and their love story continues to inspire the delightful creations at Elijah Pies. For the past eight years, they operated out of a central kitchen on King George’s Avenue, and now, they’ve ventured into their first dine-in café in Tanjong Pagar.

The moment you step into Elijah Pies, you will be greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly baked pies and the warm ambience of the cozy cafe. The rustic charm of the interior, with its soft lighting and comfortable seating, creates the perfect setting for indulging in these scrumptious treats.

Our taste journey began with the iconic Nutella pie— a pure chocolate indulgence with a luxuriously smooth and rich filling atop a crunchy base. The velvety dark chocolate filling envelopes your taste buds, delivering an intense and rich cocoa experience. The addition of roasted hazelnuts adds a delightful crunch, and a nutty undertone that perfectly complements the smooth chocolate.

The photogenic wild berry lavender pie impressed with its elegant lavender swirls, a refreshing combination of berries and fresh yogurt, and subtle hint of lavender. The sweetness of the berries shines through, while the tanginess of the yogurt adds a refreshing and creamy element to each mouthful. Not only is the Wild Berry Lavender Pie a treat for the taste buds, but it’s also a feast for the eyes.

But that’s not all, the Raspberry Ripple Pie is adorned with roasted pistachios that add a nice crunch and hint of nuttiness to every mouthful. The swirls of raspberry compote provides a burst of fruity goodness, while the cream cheese adds a creamy and slightly tangy element that beautifully complements the vibrant raspberries.

For savoury options, try the Mac N’ Cheese Pie and the Scallop Chowder Pie, which offer a satisfying twist to traditional pie flavours. Unlike their dessert pies, the Savory Pies are prepared upon order, ensuring freshness and quality in every bite. While there might be a short wait for this indulgent treat, it’s well worth it. When the piping hot Mac N’ Cheese Pie arrives at your table, the anticipation builds, and slicing into it reveals a sight to behold.

The generous filling of macaroni and melted cheese is a cheese lover’s dream come true. Each bite is an explosion of creamy, gooey, and stringy cheese that’s undeniably irresistible. To further enhance the savoury experience, small bits of beef salami are scattered throughout, reminiscent of crispy bacon bits but with a unique twist.

I liked the Scallop Chowder Pie. It was optimally creamy, and still allowed the taste of the delicate scallops to shine through. The highlight of the pie, for me, was the buttery handcrafted puff pastry lattice which was baked till golden brown.

Elijah Pies’ café also offers a range of original drinks to accompany your pie experience. Go for the fragrant and nutty vanilla latte or savour the well-balanced matcha strawberry. These thirst-quenching beverages perfectly complement the tasty treats.

Whether you’re looking for a sweet treat to satisfy your cravings, or a savoury pie to warm your soul, Elijah Pies has something for everyone. This might just become your new favourite coffee break spot in Tanjong Pagar.
