Whole pies are $28 (we can only guarantee availability when ordered with at least 24 hours notice). Our whole pie menu is updated weekly and can be found on our menu here. Call us at 919-957-1090 or place your order online!

How far in advance do I need to place my whole pie order?

We ask for 24 hours notice for whole pie orders. Because our pies change with the seasons we are unable to guarantee availability of certain seasonal flavors more than 1-2 weeks in advance.

When do you start taking orders for Thanksgiving?

We will begin taking orders for Thanksgiving in early October. Keep an eye on our website/social media for updates!

I’m looking for a specific pie but you don’t have it on your menu, do you do special orders?

We are only able offer the pies available on our current seasonal menu. We do not offer custom flavors.

I forgot to pick up my order! Can I still come get it?

We understand that life happens, so as a courtesy, we will call customers who have failed to pick up orders using the contact phone number collected at the time the order was placed. However, due to the perishable nature of our products, if we don’t hear back from you that same day, East Durham Bake Shop is not responsible for missed order pick ups.

Do you have gluten free/vegan options?

While most of our products contain butter/eggs/flour/sugar we do try to have at least one gluten free and one vegan option available at the shop each day. If you have a dietary restriction please call us ahead of time to check for availability! Coffee or tea drinker? We offer almond and oat milk as dairy alternatives for our beverages.

Please note that while certain products are labeled gluten-free we cannot safely control for cross contamination in our facility and as such we are not a celiac-friendly bakery.
