From Semper Fi to Semper Pie

by Building A Better Boyertown

May 06, 2021

Launching this month in Boyertown, Semper Pie is a local, veteran-owned cheesecake company poised for big plans. Despise no previous experience, Crystal and Kevin Murphy started baking cheesecakes from their home on Franklin Street around mid-November during the pandemic. Crystal explains, “It started from the idea to bring a decent dessert for my mother-in-law’s Thanksgiving table. We made an apple pie cheesecake, then Kevin suggested we sell them on Facebook and we haven’t stopped since.”

The name Semper Pie is a fun spin on “Semper Fi,” the all-time famous Marine Corp slogan, which means “Always Faithful.” Kevin served in the Marines and deployed overseas. “Our commitment to serving those who serve us daily is the embodiment of our mission statement.’ explains Kevin. Giving back to organizations that help veterans returning from deployments, first responders and those who support them can be achieved by making a purchase at Semper Pie; and proceeds from every sale helps these causes.

On May 22nd, Semper Pie will be hosting its grand opening on 14 S Reading Ave. There will be raffle baskets to win, vendors, live music and of course- plenty of cheesecake.
