Customer Spotlight: Your Pie Stories
Heartwarming stories from customers about how Andy's Pie has become part of their special moments and everyday lives.
At Andy’s Pie, we don’t just bake pies - we get to be part of your lives, your celebrations, and your everyday moments. Over the years, you’ve shared incredible stories with us, and today I want to share some of them with you.
These stories remind us why we do what we do, and they inspire us every single day.
The Engagement Pie
Sarah’s Story
“My boyfriend (now fiancé!) knows that I’m absolutely obsessed with Andy’s apple pie. For our three-year anniversary, he ordered a custom apple pie with ‘Will you marry me?’ spelled out in pie crust letters on top. He picked me up saying we were going to dinner, but first he wanted to ‘grab dessert.’
When we got to Andy’s Pie at Orchard Central, the staff brought out this beautiful pie. I almost didn’t notice the letters because I was so excited about the pie! When I finally saw it, I burst into tears. He got down on one knee right there in the shop.
The staff was in on it - they had champagne ready and everything. It’s the most perfect proposal I could have imagined. We’re getting married next month, and yes, we’re serving Andy’s Pie at our wedding!”
Andy’s note: We’re always honored to be part of proposal plans! Give us at least one week’s notice for custom pie messages, and we’ll make your moment special.
The Comfort Food Connection
Michael’s Story
“I moved to Singapore from the UK five years ago for work. The transition was harder than I expected - new job, new country, no family nearby. I was homesick and struggling.
One day, feeling particularly down, I wandered into your Tampines outlet. The smell reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen back home. I ordered a chicken pot pie, and when I took the first bite, I actually got emotional. It tasted just like the pies Gran used to make.
From that day on, Andy’s chicken pot pie became my comfort food. Whenever work got stressful or I felt homesick, I’d stop by for a slice. The staff at Tampines got to know me, and checking in with them became part of my routine.
Five years later, Singapore feels like home, and Andy’s Pie is a big part of that. I’ve introduced my Singaporean girlfriend to your pies, and now it’s ‘our place.’ Thank you for helping me feel at home halfway around the world.”
Andy’s note: Stories like Michael’s remind us that food is about so much more than sustenance - it’s about connection, memory, and comfort. Michael, we’re grateful to be part of your Singapore story.
The Birthday Tradition
The Wong Family
“Our daughter Emma turns 10 this year, and we’ve celebrated every single birthday with an Andy’s pie since she turned one. It started because she was allergic to eggs and dairy as a baby, and you made a special vegan apple pie for her first birthday.
As she grew up and outgrew her allergies, the tradition stuck. We have photos of Emma with an Andy’s pie at every age. Now she’s adamant that birthdays aren’t birthdays without ‘her pie.’ This year she wants your chocolate silk pie, which is very different from her usual apple, but hey - ten is a big deal!
We’ve moved houses, changed schools, and life has evolved, but the Andy’s Pie birthday tradition remains constant. It’s become a family ritual we all treasure. Thank you for being part of our daughter’s life story.”
Andy’s note: The Wongs send us photos every year, and we’ve watched Emma grow up through these pictures. We’re already planning something special for her milestone 10th birthday!
The Long-Distance Love
James’s Story
“I’m Singaporean, but I moved to Melbourne for university. After graduating, I stayed in Australia for work. My girlfriend Rachel is still in Singapore, and long-distance is tough.
Whenever I visit home, the first thing I do after seeing Rachel is go to Andy’s Pie. Your beef mushroom pie is what I miss most about Singapore (sorry, Rachel!). It’s become such a symbol of home that Rachel now brings Andy’s pie slices to the airport when she picks me up.
Last visit, I tried to bring a whole pie back to Melbourne in my luggage. Security flagged it, and I had to explain to the officer why I was trying to smuggle a pie internationally. I didn’t get to bring it, but the story has become legendary among our friends.
Rachel and I are engaged now, and I’m moving back to Singapore next year. You know what I’m most excited about? Being able to have Andy’s Pie whenever I want. First world problems, I know, but food connects us to home in powerful ways.”
Andy’s note: James, we’ve heard this story from several expats! We’re working on shipping options for overseas customers. Until then, eat extra pie while you’re here!
The Study Group Ritual
University Students
“We’re a group of NUS students who formed a study group in our first year. We’d meet every Sunday evening to study together. One Sunday, someone brought Andy’s pies as a treat, and it became our thing.
For three years now, Sunday study sessions mean Andy’s Pie. We’ve eaten your pies through midterms, finals, project deadlines, and breakdowns. There’s something about sharing food while studying that bonds people.
This is our final year, and while we’re excited to graduate, we’re sad that our Sunday pie tradition might end. We’ve decided that no matter where life takes us, we’ll meet up once a year for Andy’s pie and remember these years.
To future students: start a food tradition with your study group. It makes the stress bearable and creates memories that outlast any exam grade.”
Andy’s note: Students get a 10% discount on weekdays before 5 PM - perfect for study sessions! We love being part of your academic journey.
The Anniversary Recreate
Linda’s Story
“My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year. Twenty-five years ago, we had our wedding reception at a small restaurant that’s now closed. The one thing I remember most clearly from that day (besides marrying my best friend) was the apple pie they served for dessert. It was perfect.
I’ve been searching for that taste for years. Last month, I tried Andy’s classic apple pie, and it was almost identical to what I remember from our wedding. Same flaky crust, same spiced apples, same warmth.
For our anniversary, we’re having an intimate dinner at home, and Andy’s apple pie will be our dessert - a full-circle moment connecting our 25th anniversary to our wedding day. Sometimes the simplest things carry the most meaning.”
Andy’s note: Linda, this touched our hearts. Food memory is powerful, and we’re honored that our pie connects you to such a special day.
