I am thoroughly impressed with this quaint pie shop. Pie crust is flaky and the meat filling is savory as the name suggests. One pie is big enough as a lunch. So far I have tried roast chicken and apple pie. I also bought several different kinds of frozen pies to try at home. I cant wait to try them all.
The flavors are good! As part of an American/Australian couple, we are very familiar with meat pies. Pros: The flavor of these are pretty good! Cons: It’s expensive for what it is. These are maybe $5 in Australia, yet $11 here. The pastry is a little damp inside - it’s been frozen and somehow reheated. We asked for tomato sauce and the employee gave us 3 ketchup packets and said that’s all he had. It would be tasty if the owners import some good tomato sauce to go with the pies! Note last photo for the idea…
We got takeout from Tip Top the other day. We had one steak and ale pie, one chicken pie, and a cherry pie. I ended up with a mixed impression. The food was tasty, and of high quality, but both meat pies were of questionable value: not enough meat and vegetables. The cherry pie, on the other hand was great: packed with fruit and not too sweet. Overall, it was pretty good.
Oh My Goodness... The absolute best pies around. A must stop for anyone close by. Or take the drive to Lafayette and experience this wonderful little knook tucked right in the middle of town. Have a seat outside and enjoy!! Chris is a wonderful person, thank you so much for your positive vibes and great service to all that come to your window.
This place is delicious. My top choices for first time customers: steak and cheese, roast chicken, and of course that delicious apple pie. Dont take word come in and experience the love, not just in the food but a great over all customer service experience. Everyone who works here will always greet you with a smile and stop for some good old conversation.Thanks Tip top!
BRING BACK THE MAC N CHEESE HANDPIE! Love the pies, delicious crust and fillings. Today when we went, selection was very limited which was disappointing.
Good things come in small packages. Tip Tops Savory pies are the best of its kind Ive had in the USA. A variety of savory pies made with crispy, delicate pie crust and yummy, high quality variety of savory fillings. If youre a foodie Tip Top Savory Pies is a must.
I didnt even know there was such a thing as a New Zealand pie - thank you kiwis and thank you Tip Top Savory Pies! The pies are delicious and the service exceptional. Chris was particularly friendly as I rolled up to the window just before close. I loaded up with a steak and ale, steak and cheese, and a curry chicken pie - the family loved it. Thats when I decided we needed to those same pies home frozen - along an apple pie and some ice cream home.I would highly recommend - this place is a destination!I am anticipating they will have gluten-free on the menu soon, so if this is important to you, be patient.
I received a menu for this place in the mail so my son and I rode our bikes over for breakfast- the young man working there greeted us as soon as we walked in and was very upbeat and walked us through the menu (he really set a great vibe). The place has a positive energy, fun music playing, and a patio w games. The nitro coffee was great but the soda my son got was absolutely delicious. He loved the bacon pie and I think I will get that next time. We will be back for ice cream and I think this will become a regular hang out for our family!
Theres a reason this place has over 200 reviews and is almost rated 5 stars. The pies here are great! Theyre very filling and worth every penny. Not only are the pies great but the ice cream is also amazing. After the steak and ale pie I ate, I had an apple pie as well. The apple pie mixed with the ice cream was one of the best desserts Ive had in a while! Also, the employees are super nice and helpful. I will be back!
Delicious pies and fabulous service. We had the steak and ale, and roasted chicken pies, a sausage roll and peach pie with ice cream. Everything was super tasty. Nice outdoor seating area too.
Really good food and super friendly staff! Really enjoyed our trip here. Try the ice cream! The orange chocolate chip was great!
Love all of the pies Ive tried here so far. The holiday pies are extra amazing around Thanksgiving time (they even delivered it to my house!).
Best savory pies Ive had since visiting England. NZ style or not, Tip Top is just that. We tried the Steak and Ale, Steak and Cheese and took home a Tri-berry pie. Staff is super friendly and I highly recommend a lunch (or other) visit here!
Just a cool little spot, man. I post up every pay day weekend because I cant stay away. One pie will keep you going the entire day. The fillings are savory, and well seasoned, but the crust is going to make a fanatic out of you if youre a crust fiend. Theres seating outside, and its a beautiful part of town to take your meal on a walk. If youre in Denver this is worth taking a drive out the city for.
Ever since going to Australia, I have been looking for the savory pies. These are the New Zealand style so shaped like pies and every bit as delicious. You can get breakfast style(brekkie) or even apple and cherry along with the savory choices. Never had one I didnt love. The best part is you get get some frozen to go. Absolutely one of my favorite places!!
Stopped by for a late breakfast. Pies were incredible and the lattes where also very good. If Im ever back in Town, will seek them out again.
First time there today, and I got to say this place is amazing. Staff is friendly. The pies are great. Definitely coming back!
Tip top pies are my ABSOLUTE favorite meat pies. I highly recommend the chicken curry flavor.
Lived in Australia for 5 years. There pies are authentic and delicious! Great crust, flavorful filling.
I am afraid to talk about this place because I dont want it to become overrun with customers. Some of the best food, in a pie, I have ever had! There is quite a variety of flavors available to try as you can see from my picture of the menu. The breakfast Brekkies are 2 whole eggs with either sausage, bacon or green chilies. Everything here is delicious and the entire staff are super friendly, as is the owner.
Pies are just the best ever. Steak and Ale are such a Wow in the taste of a hearty filling and flaky pastry.Better than any pie in England where I grew up.Keep up the hard work and so proud that you are still in business during this terrible time.Best Wishes.
The pies and coffee are incredible! The people who work here are lovely and kind. Very authentic New Zealand fare and worth trying and coming back to!!
Good pies, sodas and coffee. Breakfast pies could use a little more meat but theyre still tasty and the eggs are nice and fluffy
Pretty tasty. We got the chicken/curry and the steak/cheese pies. However, they are extremely overpriced now. In the past they were something like $9 for a single-serving pie (already quite high, all considered, but easier to stomach). Now they are effectively $14+ per pie ($11.50 each + $1 per pie Pie fee + tax), with no sides included. I know businesses are hurting this past year, but at this price I cant justify the value proposition.
Im so glad to have this place in Lafayette! They have a great selection of savory and sweet pies and they rotate in seasonal specials. The steak and cheese is my go-to favorite! The pie crust is flaky and delicious and they actually heat up really nicely from frozen (they have directions on their website, though I tend to need a bit more time to cook than they suggest). Also, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!
Unfortunately unremarkable, been passing it weekly for a while and finally stopped by today. Forty bucks for 4 frozen pies that cooked up nice but completely lacked flavor. As a foodie I was really disappointed and did I mention the the 4th one was free...really
Great savory pies! This place had a surf shop feel. It has a great selection of savory pies ( Ratatoutille, Steak n Ale, Ragu, curry chicken, etc) and a few sweet ones (peach & cherry). They also sell a few New Zealand food products. There is an outdoor seating area to the left of the shop, super cute place. Bonus: they provide HP sauce with your pies!
Tip top offers a relatively unique concept, very good customer service and, most importantly, tasty and satisfying food. We, three adults a two-year old and a dog, showed up on a hot weekday afternoon. Before we were seated, I inquired about the nitro cold brew coffee listed on the wall sign board. Instead of a puffery description, the owner drew me a good-sized portion in a cup. It was great. The five of us then sat in one of the two partially-covered outside eating areas. There were two gentle misters which made the heat more comfortable.Given that Tip Top is all about savory pies, we ordered an individual pie for each adult. They were great. Our veggie person had cauliflower tikka masala; it was tasty with a perfect pie crust and a flavorful but not very spicy filling. Carnivore number one had a chicken pot pie, which he described as perfect comfort food and which vanished in seconds. But the star performer was the steak pie, filled with large pieces of perfectly cooked brisket and a savory sauce. The personally served our dog two crunchy treats which she graded as “five woofs,” her highest grade.The food and the manager’s relaxed, comfortable and attentive service make Tip Top a great place for an interesting, casual and inexpensive meal. Enjoy! We did.
These pies are sooooo amazing, everything is homade, I could just eat the crusts and be happy....I had the steak and mushrooms pie.I was totally full but I wanted to keep eating! Yea its that good
Awesome place! Great hand pies! Oh my goodness the young lady who help us was the best I have interacted with in a long time...just super!!
Amazing! Incredibly authentic New Zealand meat pies, plus other options. I go out of my way to go here!
My wife is Australian and has been searching for authentic meat pies and sausage rolls for the better part of 12 years. On a suggestion, I stopped by Tip Top Pies tonight and picked up a frozen bakers dozen of meat pies and some frozen hatch chili sausage rolls. After trying the steak & mushroom meat pie and a hatch sausage roll, she says these are BETTER than what she could get back home! The staff were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and its in a really quaint location. We cant wait to try the other pies in the bakers dozen. Absolutely go and check this place out!
Great have pies. Theyre steak is the best.
Pretty good steak and mushroom and steak and cheese. Wasnt crazy about the sausage roll though. Service was great, friendly and fast.
Authentic Kiwi pies - thats New Zealand - only they actually have meat and veg in them. Nice shady outdoor eating area.
Great place! So good, and taking home frozen pies is great. I think everyone should try them.
Amazing yum pies. My fav is beef Ragu and Steak and cheese. Best is to bring the pie home and warm it up in the oven for few mins, so delicious!!! The pie looks small but is very filling. It was worth the drive for us. Also always lovely to hear New Zealand accent of the lovely server😊
Physically cannot stop eating the Curry Chicken Savory Pie, sooo tasty!
I love this little family owned pie shop. If you go at the right time of year the peach pie is divine.
O.M.G! Flaky crust, wholesome filling and the bottom isnt soggy. Perfect to sum it up. Worth the drive for those far away or a walk for those who are close. A little hidden gem in my opinion (my man is nodding his head in agreement).Thank you for the wonderful pies! Sorry no photos was too busy stuffing my face..next time though!
Dude. The beer cheese pie is just incredible! We got frozen to-go pies and they were everything we wanted and then some. If youre looking for some hearty food and want to experience food from a different culture, I highly recommend this spot 👌
We took a three week trip to NZ last year, and one day our friends suggested we try a meat pie. Subsequently, we ate a meat pie every day during our trip because they were so delicious. We tried Tip Top Savory Pies today and were absolutely amazed at how good and authentic their pies are. The pie crust is buttery and flakey, and the steak and mushroom filling is loaded with large chunks of tender meat and sliced mushrooms in a gravy. We drove 45 miles to find these pies, and then we brought four frozen pies home to eat some other day. You must try these pies!!!!
Great product selection. Very reasonable priced. Perfectly made, authentic hand pies.
Staff are very friendly and it was so nice to taste a bit of home here in the U.S.
I LOVE tip top pies. I know its a Kiwi pie shop, but as a Brit in Colorado id been searching for good pies for ages and am so happy to have found these guys.Steak and mushroom is amazing, and i now keep a stash of the apple pies in the freezer!
Great place for authentic meat pies! The crust is amazing and all three pies we had (Steak & Ale, Steak & Mushroom, Chicken Curry) were amazing. We will definitely be back to stock the freezer with their frozen pies!
Best authentic New Zealand pies I’ve found in my 12 years living in America 😤😤😤 the manager also was super awesome
Tip Top is great! Picked up a few pies and nippers this morning(along with the Oh Behave whiskey barrel nitro) and would 11/10 recommend! Had a nice chat with the owner waiting on the pies as well. Great to hear theyre doing well and cant wait to come back
Omg yum!! I tried the steak & cheese meat pie today and it was delicious!! The gravy was super flavorful, the steak was tender and they didnt skimp on the cheese. Plus, the crust is pastry perfection. I scraped all the flakey bits off the to-go box. When I saw the size, I wasnt sure it would be enough food but it was the perfect meal portion. I cant wait to go back and try the other flavors!
DELICIOUS!!!!! 😍 and great staff... both the girls working were super sweet and helpful in choosing a great pie
We managed several trips to Tip Top Pies over the past few weeks and it has quickly become my favorite eatery! Not only do Rob and crew provide a warm and incredibly friendly atmosphere, but the pies are absolutely the best! I can see why these are such a popular food in New Zealand! The crusts are baked to perfection, and the various fillings (weve tried both chicken and beef selections) are fresh and seasoned just right! Tip Top Savory Pies is one of the gems of Lafayette dining, and will continue to be a regular visit for us!
I wish they were closer...I would go here all the time. Highly recommend!!!
Got the steak and ale pie from here, froze it for a few days, heated up (350 for 45) on the owners instructions and it was excellent. Great tender meat, perfectly balanced flavours and the crust was absolutely perfect. I’ll be back for more!
The crust is to die for! Savory and sweet offerings are delicious❤my new addiction!
These pies are freaking amazing! I got the steak & cheese and Im pretty sure I could eat it every day for a week. It was perfect. Great crust, super tasty fillings. And the apple pie was also delish!
This is a little slice of New Zealand right here in Lafayette Colorado. This neat little pie shop brings not only the best pies in the area, but a perspective of New Zealand culture to the table. They’ve spent a long time perfecting how to make a business like this work and have got it down to a science! Not even for the money involved, but to take pride in providing quality pies to an American demographic. Take a moment from the hectic American lifestyle and fill your belly and your soul with some of the best food New Zealand has to offer! Definitely a must see if you’re in Lafayette. 10/5
Some seriously great pies and incredibly friendly staff. Was worth the 47 min drive. Cant wait to go again!
Pie was on par for what you would get in NZ but at $12 a pie its just not worth the cost.
Good but a bit pricey
So good. I had a breakfast pie and it was perfect.
They are always out of frozen take home cook it yourself gluten free pies? How??? Don’t be in the mood for this place because they never have what’s on the menu and you will only be let down.
WOW! My husband and I are so very stoked that this place exists! We visited NZ for our honeymoon, and TipTop is our favorite place to go for nostalgia. You can tell they use high quality ingredients, and all their options are delicious! If youve never had a meat (or meatless) pie, come here!!!
Awesome hot pies. Fast, walk up service.
I had the breakfast pie, it was good lean pie.
Top notch garbage food
I pretty much lived on meat pies while traveling in NZ for 4 months. Words cannot express the joy of coming home to learn that there was an ACTUAL NZ PIE SHOP now open in town. The first time I ate their Steak & Cheese pie I almost cried it was so good. Perfectly baked flakey crust, tender meat, delicious gravy, it’s all there. Sausage rolls are bang on too, Tip Top is the REAL DEAL!!
Amazing food! the owners are constantly improving their business— you can tell they’re dedicated. they have also done really well staying within covid19 guidelines.
Perfectly warm, filling, and delicious. Cant find anywhere else. Wonderful service, quick and friendly atmosphere :) I had the steak and mushroom while my bf had the steak and cheese.
Sooo delicious!
Very friendly staff and the ice cream was delicious!
Delicious and wholesome pot pies. The steak and cheese is to die for, and the desert pies are a perfect way to finish a very memorable meal
So happy to see hes opened this place (admittedly Im late to the party), been looking forward to trying it and Im kicking myself for taking so long to get around to it! I tried the steak and ale pie, Mac n cheese n bacon nipper, and apple brown butter pie. They were all fantastic and well worth it, though I definitely went overboard... But I had to try a little of everything for my first go!Congrats on your success, and Ill def recommend you anyone I can!
Go. Eat. Here. Thats all you need to know if youre hungry.The pies are delicious. Crust is flaky and buttery and the fillings flavorful and all very high quality. Honestly true to the meat pies in New Zealand. Absolutely tip top!
Having studied in NZ for college, one of the things I missed most was the savory pies that the country is known for. I was so excited to see an authentic shop open up in Lafayette where I could get my fix! The pies are incredible, with unbelievably buttery-flaky crust and great fillings. Great vegetarian and meat options as well. Definitely check this place out, its great for dining in or take out. Fingers crossed that they can get some L&P in the shop soon!
This place rocks. Owner is a really cool guy. Walked me through all the pies. Very tasty.
Love love this secret gem crust is so flakey and delicious. Max is the man,so friendly and he welcomes you back every time
Really good pies. Had the tikka masala veggie pie. Super nice guy with a lovely accent 😁
So good. Ran by a kiwi and we haven’t had these good of pies since coming back from New Zealand! Very excellent food, service, and coffee.
Great food and atmosphere.
Really enjoyed the pies and the people! The owner and his son were so kind. My partner is from NZ and loved connecting with someone from his homeland. We both got the classic steak and cheese pies and I’m ready to go back for seconds. Would recommend !!
Dont bother reading these reviews. Just go here, and get something. Every single thing they make is divine. The owner of the shop was awesome. Great everything. Stop reading these reviews. Just do yourself a favor and go. You will not regret it
I was so happy to find meat pies, and such a variety at that!
Amazing pies, the owner and staff are delightful. The steak and cheese pie was fantastic. Highly recommend
Im traveling the country in an RV. Drove by and saw a line. Decided to stop and try it out. It was amazing! If your in the area check them out!!!!
5-stars! Was nearby visiting family, heard there was a pie shop nearby, made the detour basically immediately... Did not regret. Delicious. And Im an Aussie, so for me to give a New Zealander praise, you know they mustve been pretty good. Thank you guys for a great taste of home! Will be back next time were near Lafayette.
Husband and I just moved to Lafayette and were thrilled to discover this place! The food is delicious!!
I ordered some pies for delivery on Uber eats and was really impressed. They came quickly and were still perfectly warm after the delivery trip.The pastry is everything you could want, flaky, buttery, and perfectly golden. The sausage roll was very tasty (the flavoring reminded me of English ones, which I loved). I also got the green chili breakfast pie, which was a fun combination of Colorado/England.The sausage rolls are well priced and surprisingly filling (very generous filling). I ended up bringing one pie home for later. I let the pie cool and reheated it in the microwave and it was still just as delicious.No soggy bottoms! Would highly recommend.
