Sagada Lemon Pie House - Mountain Province

Lemons are uncommon in the Philippines. As a matter of fact, only a handful of farms with lemon trees exists in the country today. The majority of the lemons sold in the market are imported. Well, it is not a big surprise... The demand for lemon fruits surged only recently after the Filipinos were "awakened" to healthy living.

 Sagada Lemon Pie House - Sagada, Mountain Province

That is why it is quite surprising to find a food establishment in the country that is well known for selling lemon pies. What's more surprising is that they are doing this for a decade now... (not to mention, this business is located in the mountainous regions of the Philippines.

Ladies and gentlemen... meet the famed lemon pie

 Our food trip today takes us to the Sagada Lemon Pie House in South Road, Sagada in Mountain Province. 

Those wall deco give the place an ethnic feel.

Inside Sagada Lemon Pie House

Sagada Lemon Pie House opened in 2008. Sadly, it wasn't much of success back then. The persevering owners didn't give up though. They diligently brought their lemon pies to the public market of Sagada's poblacion until it got a cult following. From there, just like what they say... the rest is history.

I love the interior of this place.

 Today, you don't need to scour the public market to taste these scrumptious lemon pies. You can visit their store in Atey, Daoagan in the town of Sagada. Just so you know, they also serve freshly brewed coffees, egg pies, and even blueberry pies during early summers.

Why don't you try a slice of the famed Lemon Pie?

I got to visit Sagada Lemon Pie House during our 2017 Ifugao - Mt. Province - Benguet Tour with my wife. During our visit, the place was crowded with tourists wanting to taste the famous delicacy. What I like about Sagada Lemon Pie House is its very native yet homey ambiance. It's great for dates or barkada bondings.

Wow! That looks very appetizing!
