HOW The Sagada Lemon Pie House STARTED?

“The Sagada Lemon Pie House is owned by Joseph Daoas. It was Joseph’s mother, Elena Daoas, a native from Candon, Ilocos Sur (married to Bartolome Daoas, originally from Poblacion, Sagada) that started it all. It was her original recipe and she passed it to Joseph that later improved the recipe to make it taste even better.

It took 12 years for Joseph to perfect the recipe. He experimented to get the right amount of flour for the crust and the right texture for the filling. It was five years ago when the lemon pie reached its greatest improvement. But of course, it didn’t end there.

In 2008, The Sagada Lemon Pie House was opened to the public for the first time, but it wasn’t a hit. So Katrina decided to bring her lemon pies to the public market, downtown Poblacion, to get better sales. Soon, more and more people buy their pies, and the rest is history.” – Source: sagadalemonpiehouse.blogspot.com/

I love the ambiance of this place. The wood furnishing really made the place look ethnic and native. Plus the staff was really nice to us.

I got myself a slice of the famous lemon pie in Sagada. Well, I’m usually not fond of soury taste-like pastries and pies. So, I wasn’t able to finish everything. But My fiance, Rey, loves it and finished as well the remaining of my pie.

You should also try their egg pie (if available) for Php35 per slice. Unfortunately, it is not available at the time of our visit there. Maybe we are just early, since we went there around 7 in the morning. There are more to eat in this house, you may refer to the photo below for the food selections at The Sagada Lemon Pie House.
