Ten years ago I was diagnosed with a severe dairy allergy. So, most desert options are off the table for me. It was rather life changing. Now, when I was young my favorite pie was without doubt, Lemon Meringue. Well, no more of that for me! But then I found Shampa’s and asked if they could do a dairy-free version. This sounds easy, but it’s not. At least if you want it to taste authentic. Well, Shampa’s did just that! Took me right back to my childhood. And if that can do that pie, they can do anything.
So if you are looking for a pie on the Peninsula, you can never go wrong with Shampa’s!!

Lemon Chess
Mad local! Peach pie had a buttery, flaky crust filled with perfectly cooked peaches; not soggy or soft. The filling was slightly bland- it might have needed more spices, lemon juice, or sugar. But I had it cold, so it's hard to say.
I also had a brown butter cookie, which had a crisp, browned exterior with a gooey, chewy interior. Everything I like in a chocolate chip cookie.
I will definitely be back to try more from Shampa's.
I have since been back to Shampa's, and I picked up the lemon chess and apple pies. The lemon chess was outstanding, like a lemon bar with pie crust. Apple filling was nicely toothsome and well spiced. Crust was lovely as always. Got another chocolate chip cookie too, don't miss those.
Had wanted to visit this place since reading about Haruwn Wesley, the owner, passing away in a surfing accident. There is a large photo of him visible from outside the store. Bought 3 mini pies- key lime, sweet potato, strawberry rhubarb cobbler- all were delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Wished I lived closer so I could support them more often...! Highly recommend.
