Cherry Pie - American Dessert Pies

Cherry Pie brings traditional American homemade dessert pies to Docklands, Melbourne, with recipes inspired by the owner’s grandmother. The pies are described as authentically American, made to order and prepared using old-fashioned techniques. The business also says it works with local suppliers to source fresh, quality ingredients, giving the offering a clear focus on handcrafted baking rather than mass-produced desserts.

The family story is central to the experience. Recipes were passed from the owner’s grandmother to their aunt and mother, then on to them, with childhood memories of cinnamon baking and time spent in Grandma’s kitchen shaping the range. The site also captures the family’s lively opinions about pie, from cherry and peach to pumpkin, chocolate and lemon meringue. Cherry pie is the owner’s own favourite, while a family story about a prize-winning chocolate pie — reportedly good enough to inspire a marriage proposal — adds a personal touch to the brand’s history.

The Docklands shop is at 6 Star Crescent in The District Docklands, in the building with H&M. The website directs visitors to its online shop for the full menu and confirms that pies are baked to order. Pies by the slice are also available through selected partner venues in Thomastown, Collingwood and Beaumaris. Cherry Pie attends farmers markets around Melbourne and regional Victoria as well, including events in St Kilda, South Geelong, Elwood, Williamstown and Coburg, so the business has a presence beyond its Docklands address.

There is no detailed description of a dine-in space on the website, so Cherry Pie is best understood as a destination for ordering homemade American desserts, picking up a whole pie or finding a slice at a market or partner venue. It should appeal to people looking for nostalgic family-style baking, those curious about American pie traditions, and groups or families wanting a dessert to share. The venue has a 4.9 Google rating from 87 reviews, offering a strong indication of local customer approval.
