PROUDLY HANDMADE WITH LOVE IN NH

saxy chef is a flavor-obsessed bakery based in Keene, NH. We make pies, and we make them really well. That's not arrogance, it's just the truth.

The Story

How It Started

I started baking in 2008 out of a shared-use kitchen for a local farm stand. I'd graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, so I knew my way around a kitchen, but pies were a different challenge. I didn't just want to make pies. 

I wanted to make the best ones.


So I baked. And refined. And obsessed over every detail: the filling, the crust, the balance of flavors. Nothing was good enough until it actually was. That drive hasn’t changed.

Word spread fast. Demand grew. Soon, I became we. And year after year, we kept building, expanding the lineup, growing our reach, and staying obsessive about quality the whole way through.

What We Believe

Every Bite Should Be as Good as the First One

A lot of baked goods are too sweet, too flat, or just… off. You get one good bite, and then it's downhill from there. That's always bothered me.

At saxy chef, we make things the way they should be made. Real ingredients, handmade, with recipes we've refined until they were actually right. The goal is simple: every bite should taste as good as the first one.


That's what we're after. Every single time.
Where We Are Today

Still Growing.

Still Handmade

We’ve moved, grown, moved again, and kept expanding, and through it all, the one thing that hasn’t changed is how we make our pies. By hand. With lots of love. With ingredients we trust.

Today, you can find saxy chef pies at stores across NH and VT, with more locations added regularly. We’re still the same flavor-obsessed operation we’ve always been, just a little bigger.
