In Orange County, Noble Pies stands out as one of the best bakeries in New York State. Owner Leslie Noble started selling pies on the roadside with a sign that read, “Turn Back For Pie.”
That sign still stands outside her shop, Noble Pies Bakery and Cafe, located at 121 New York 94 in Warwick. The bakery is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to at least 8 p.m.

Fun Facts About Sullivan Street Bakery
Jim Lahey, with the help of Joe Allen, opened Sullivan Street Bakery in Soho in 1994. The main bakery is now located in Hell’s Kitchen, with other locations in Chelsea and Miami, Florida.
Lahey’s belief was that “good bread should be available and affordable for everyone.”
Originally aspiring to be a sculptor, Lahey’s travels through Italy as an art student inspired him to bake bread. He couldn’t find bread in New York like the beautiful, crusty loaves he ate in Italy.
