Monkey Bites

The term pie hardly does them justice; customers rave about her offerings. If you’re in a hurry or just want a delicious meal, you can’t go wrong at Eyes on the Pies. One family from New York City on a fall foliage drive stopped in to use the restroom and ended up staying at the bakery to share a chicken pot pie. They were so happy with the food, they regularly come back. Foodies from as far away as England are also fans. There’s even more variety now, including pulled pork; shepherd and minced pork pie. The shop also offers foot-long hot dogs and chili.

Shannon Cheevers, a breast cancer survivor, supports breast cancer research and awareness. To show her support, she uses pink boxes for her pies and pink accents throughout the store. In October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Cheevers donates a percentage of profits to one of several breast cancer groups.

Space at Cheevers’ Hewitt shop is limited and because of that, they don’t have the room to make or stock a large number of orders. Cheevers said they had to turn away about 100 customers at Thanksgiving. The second store will be much larger and will offer the same popular fare, she said.

Cheevers grew up in West Milford. She has two daughters: Molly and Maeve who help out in the shop. Make sure you check out the apple roses when you’re there.
