Pecan, custard, apple and pumpkin pie; each of the holiday favorites are the perfect finale to any Thanksgiving feast. If you haven't ordered your dessert yet and aren't prepared to make it yourself, you're in luck. Liliha Bakery has a large selection of items to choose from according to Connie Wong with Liliha Bakery.
"We have all our Thanksgiving items readily available," Wong explained. "People come in for our pies, we have our pumpkin, custard and dutch apple, which are really popular."

She said they have noticed an increase in pie orders since Lees Bakery in Chinatown stopped making Thanksgiving pies last year and she estimates Liliha Bakery will sell over a thousand pies this holiday.
"It's been definitely busier for sure," Wong said.
She said you can preorder a pie through Wednesday evening for pick up on Thanksgiving day, or just stop by. But she warns they may sell out, so get there early.
"We are going to be open between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. depending on which location you're visiting, but we will be up bright and early. All of our bakers are going to be up bright and early to prepare all of our items fresh," Wong explained.
Liliha Bakery also has tons of other delicious baked goods like their seasonal pumpkin loaf, pumpkin chiffon puka and their famous butter rolls.
You can even pick up a fruitcake.
"It's in prep for Christmas but that doesn't mean you can't have it for Thanksgiving too," Wong said.
Zippys will also be open at 6 a.m. Thursday to pick up a last-minute pie, according to Zippy's Vice President of Communications Kevin Yim.
"Thanksgiving Day is our busiest day of the year," Yim explained. "Pumpkin pies, and any other kind of desserts, are going to be available all day long in Zippy's, though, I would recommend getting there sooner rather than later, because we do tend to sell out of all of our pumpkin pies throughout the day."
Because after all "what's Thanksgiving without a pumpkin pie?" Yim said.
But if you're not a pie person and want to add something cool to your dessert menu, Baskin Robbins is bringing back its iconic turkey cake, complete with sugar cone legs and caramel praline glaze, filled with your favorite ice cream!
