PORT JEFFERSON, NY — For those who have a sweet tooth, grab a fork. Torte Jeff is scheduled to open Thursday in Port Jefferson, bringing pies to the community.

Lisa Harris, the owner, told Patch that pie enthusiasts can expect confectioneries both traditional and those with a twist. Harris, 51, who has been living in Port Jefferson since 2016, said she's been baking her entire life and called it a passion of hers. She has been baking pies for her family on occasion. Now, she'll be preparing them for Port Jeff and beyond.

"Pies were always something I could bake, and they've turned out rather well, so I've always felt comfortable baking them," Harris said. "When this space became available, I just thought it would make a perfect little pop-up shop to test the waters, test the pie climate."
