Do Rock Spring Cafe’s famous pies live up to their reputation?

With the recent news Rock Springs Cafe, located about 30 miles north of the Valley, will start selling its famous pies at The Duce in downtown Phoenix, New Times sent a correspondent up I-17 to check out the pastries.

Their verdict: Much adieu about nothing special.

Of the six pies I plucked out of the cases, the crusts all lack a flaky texture. An edge is cardboard-stiff, no melt-in-your-mouth crumble. The aftertaste is bitter.

The worst offender is the apple pie. The scent promises a perfect hint of cinnamon and cooked apple filling. The crust is stale, soggy from sitting too long, ruining the taste of its contents.

Yikes!
