About

Baby Bean Pie began in 2020, when Zakiyyah Shaheed started making pies from her home, using her mother’s recipe. Through Mandela Partners, Baby Bean Pie later became one of three vendors with a quick-service restaurant at E14th Eatery and Kitchen, a food hall in San Leandro. Baby Bean Pie became a regular presence at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in late 2024 through Foodwise’s Building Equity program. Their booth offers traditional navy bean pies in three sizes, ranging from bite-sized to a large, shareable option. Pies also come in various flavors, all sweetened with honey and carmelized spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.
