Sweet Elena's

465 Olympia Ave., Sand City, (831) 393‑2063, sweetelenas.com

When you think of the perfect pie, what comes to mind? Buttery, flaky crust? Fruit filling that is the perfect combination of sweet and tart? The pies at Sweet Elena’s have all of the above. They offer a variety of flavors, all made with organic flour and organic fruit filling, and can be ordered by the slice, the half, or the whole. Enjoy a traditional apple crumble, a classic key lime pie, a local special olallieberry, and more. These delectable treats are made under supervision of Katy Matias, who grew up working in the bakery and recently bought it from its still‑sweet founder, Elena.
