Deep Dish Sweet Potato Pie
Ready To Eat
Freezer Friendly
Since the 1930s, the 27th Street Bakery has been a fixture of Los Angeles’s Eastside, and its Deep Dish Sweet Potato Pie is the recipe that made the bakery famous — a true taste of the South. Tender, fresh sweet potatoes are mashed with butter, sugar, and a touch of warm spice, then baked in a flaky, golden crust until smooth and sweet. Three generations of the Pickens family have kept this homemade tradition alive, growing it into a beloved bakery known for sweet potato pie. It’s the kind of pie that brings back front-porch memories and Sunday dinner smiles.

LA's Legendary Sweet Potato Pie Since 1930
For nearly a century, the same family has been baking the legendary sweet potato pie that put 27th Street Bakery Shop on the map, ever since Harry Patterson and his wife Sadie founded their business on Central Avenue in the 1930s, in the heart of what was then the center of Black life in Los Angeles. In 1956 they converted the restaurant into a specialty pie shop, baking the homemade sweet potato pies, fruit pies, and cakes that made the bakery a household name. The recipe still carries a secret blend of spices and, to this day, only Louisiana-grown sweet potatoes, just as grandpa Harry insisted.
When the Pattersons retired in 1980, their daughter Alberta Cravin and grandson Gregory Spann stepped in, and today the third generation keeps the legacy alive. Now the largest provider of sweet potato pies on the West Coast and a true Eastside landmark, 27th Street Bakery tastes like a little slice of mama's cooking no matter how far from home you are, and it ships nationwide on Goldbelly.
