Dessert is a serious business here in Virginia. Whether it’s a multi-generational pie crust recipe or your favorite small-town ice cream parlor, the art of serving up sweet treats is something we’ve perfected. You’ll experience this for yourself if you visit Red Truck Bakery in Warrenton. With praise from The New York Times, Southern Living, Washingtonian, and Garden & Gun, this local bakery is nothing short of legendary. So if you or someone you love has a serious sweet tooth, you’ll be glad to know about this iconic local landmark.
The beginnings of the Red Truck Bakery were modest; it all started in a historic renovated Esso gas station in the town of Warrenton, Virginia.
A few years and countless pies later, Red Truck Bakery is now known the world over. With praise from several publications, and even the White House, these pies are a must-try.
Perhaps the most famous is the pumpkin pie. Come Thanksgiving, you can bet that Red Truck bakery churns out as many of these as possible. Each individual pie is made with a time-honed recipe, local ingredients, and garnished with a miniature truck.
The shop is known for its seasonal goodies that expend well beyond the holidays. Stop by around Mother's Day, for example, and you can look forward to sampling this heavenly raspberry frangipane tart.
