If you love pie, put Blue Springs Cafe in Highland at the top of your list of places to visit. Located about 35 miles east of St. Louis, this homey restaurant is famous for its Foot High Pies topped with a mountain of meringue. Available whole or by the slice (while supplies last), the handcrafted pies – made from scratch each morning with flavors such as chocolate, lemon, coconut and banana – are amazing to behold and delicious to devour.
In addition to its decadent desserts, Blue Springs Cafe offers lunch and dinner served family style with menu items such as fried chicken, meatloaf, pickled beets and mashed potatoes with gravy.
The cafe is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit bluespringscafe.com or call (618) 654-5788.

Planning a trip to Shiloh, Il next Friday. I would like to pickup a pie to bring home. Do your pies travel well. Do I need to bring a cake holder to put it in a ice chest? My neighbor would like me to pickup one of your fruits pies, will it fix in a pie holder? It is a 3 hour trip one way for us. What is the cost of your pies? Can I order and prepaid for the pies? Thank you for your time.
