Here in Virginia, we take our baked good very seriously. For one, baking is a traditional pastime that brings together fond memories and family. Secondly, there are few things better than discovering eateries with fantastic homemade pies. One such place, hiding in Monroe, has been a local favorite for decades. Woodruff’s is an unassuming corner store that just so happens to serve out-of-this-world pies.

Here’s more about this fantastic local bakery:

Just north of Lynchburg, Woodruff’s Cafe & Pie Shop is located at 3297 Elon Rd Monroe, VA 24574.
