Before I mention the pies, I really need to correct the inaccuracies in terms of the Bread of Life Bakery's location. It is NOT in Shunyi. It is approximately located halfway between Beijing and Tianjin in an area called Langfang (廊坊). Thus, if you're ordering anything from the bakery, make sure to go with the delivery option. Otherwise, a taxi out there will be over an hour from a place like Dongzhimen and will easily exceed 150RMB in cost. Or, alternatively, I believe bus 938 from the Beijing Railway Station will take you to Langfang and back as well, about 11RMB and 1 1/2 hrs per way (Langfang is the last stop). But again, a lot of commute time just for some pies.
However, as far as the pies go, they were fantastic. The crust was easy to cut through but wasn't too crumbly, and the fruit in the apple pie was fresh and the perfect mix of tart and sweet. The pumpkin pie was delicious - creamy and fragrant. Also, the price not only contributes to a charitable and worthy cause, but it's extremely affordable, especially compared to similar quality pies I've seen advertised.
