Dutch Haven Shoofly Pie Bakery
Dutch Haven
2857 East Lincoln Highway
Ronks, Pennsylvania
If I recall correctly, I used to beg my parents to stop here on our way to Ocean City when I was little. So I’m in the region — I have to stop, right? I suppose that some childhood wishes are best left unfulfilled. Yet it did have an authentic old-school sense of tacky fun.
Allegedly, it’s the home of “America’s Best Shoofly Pie” (there’s an oxymoron in there somewhere . . . shoofly is just plain yucky!)
Form your own opinion . . . order their shoofly pie by mail : )
Again Wendy, learn your fact’s “Shoo Fly “was a southern expression that the slave cooks used while the super sweet pie was cooling.
The oxymoron quip was meant to be funny; I wasn’t commenting on the real origin of the name. My humor isn’t for everyone I guess 🙂
