“For so long we’ve showed up in other people’s spaces and been a guest to them and tried to create our brand inside of their home,” Wright told Eater SF earlier this year, “and it’s really special to get to invite people into our space.About the Book A young woman goes to the ends of the earth-and beyond-to rescue the man she loves in this sweeping epic that was named an ALA Notable Book and 'School Library Journal' Best Book of the Year. Three years later, the duo baked - and sold out of - hundreds of Thanksgiving pies last fall, while also raising funds to open the doors to their first permanent cafe. He named the business for his mom and later joined forces with Wright as the pies began to develop a dedicated following. The business first started in late 2019, when Raskin began baking out of his one-bedroom Oakland apartment. The Field Call riffs on a savory bloody mary, leaning on a base of aromatic Foro Rosso Di Torino vermouth and vegetable stock made from kitchen scraps, plus lemon and fennel.īeing able to invite customers into their own space marks a huge milestone for the two co-owners, who’ve been running Edith’s as a mobile pop-up for years. The list includes all low-alcohol by volume options including the Gemini & Leo, which combines a syrup made in-house from leftover strawberry tops with cherrywood-charred Manzanilla sherry, orange sweet vermouth, and citrus. The cocktails, meanwhile, serve to help the kitchen reduce food waste by using up what might otherwise have ended up in the trash or compost. Wines and beers focus on local producers including Hammerling, Scribe, and East Brother Beer Co.

There’s coffee, naturally, but there’s also the option to pair your pie with something that’ll give you a bit more buzz. Wright says he’s particularly excited about the shop’s beverage program, which he spearheaded. On the graham cracker crust side of the list, look for coconut cream, banana cream, and key lime. More seasonal varieties include strawberry streusel and Earl Grey custard. The former camp includes some of the bakery’s fan-favorite selections such as Edith’s “world famous” scribble pie, which stars chocolate studded brown butter walnut, plus chocolate chess.

On the sweet side, pies split into two categories: either butter or graham cracker crust. A farmers market quiche will use up whatever vegetables are in season and, for now, the options also include a classic sausage, potato, and scallion number. The specific lineup will rotate frequently, but for now, swing through for options including chorizo, potato, and pepper Japanese curry chicken spinach and goat cheese and spiced lamb and date. The opening menu includes a selection of six savory hand pies intended to work for either breakfast or lunch.

Edith’s Pie will start the day with breakfast service at 7:30 a.m.

Of course, the all-day cafe won’t be open just to satisfy diners' late-night pie cravings.
