I've tried their apple pie. Way too much cinnamon. I could barely taste the apples. Yesterday I bought a pumpkin pie there for $32. It was horrible! There is too much molasses in it. You cannot taste the pumpkin. Utterly disappointing! The piecrusts are always good, but their fillings are in no way traditional. The fillings do not honour the main or advertised ingredient. There is always too much spice or flavour and it overwhelms the flavour of the main or advertised ingredients of apple or pumpkin.
Pies were good but not great. Maybe I just had an off day but the pumpkin pie, which I've had here before was meh at best and my wife had something else that was so sweet it hurt our teeth. For a $7+ slice of pie I expect a lot more.
This is one of the very best bakeries in the lower mainland. I always look forward to coming here after a run on the sea wall. The muffins, scones, and cinnamon buns are superb. The French-style omelette is delicious too
Pricey, but the vegetarian sandwich is one of the best I've ever had (before realizing I needed a special diet). The bread that they use has a wonderful texture and flavour. Cute and cozy atmosphere. Only wish they had more dairy free and gluten friendly options.
Really good pie, had the Cherry, but so overpriced. One slice of pie was $7.25 and it was a fairly small slice. If you are in the area and you want good pie, you'll find it here, just be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for it. Small interior so seating is close quarters, coffee is decent but nothing great. Overall a pretty mediocre experience.
Old fashioned bakery. Great place for weekend brunch. The space is tight though.
Love this place, their raspberry scone is amazing. Their soups, and breakfast sandwiches are also very good. Always a great experience.
I personally feel welcome and comfortable when I sit in cafe with oldish wooden tables and chairs, casual-looking reading lamps, and grandma-pie smelling ambiance. This is exactly how you'll feel when you order a cup of chai latte and a slice of blueberry pie (or anything else). Love it! ❤️
The best sandwiches and pies in the lower mainland! The place can be a little cramped at times, and its a little on the expensive side but the food is simply amazing. Highly recommended.
Came in on a rainy Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm. There was a short line up and most of the seats were taken. Luckily we got 3 seats for our group.
I ordered the black bean omelette with rye/raison bread, broccoli and potato soup, and almond mocha.
I'm the typical meat eater, but i found the omelette quite savory and healthy. The salsa added a nice tangy taste to the omelette and the strawberry jam on the bread was refreshing.
The soup was hearty and stays warm for long.
There was still a short line throughout the afternoon.
Service is with a smile but food coming out may take awhile since it's really busy. I believe the delay was about 20 minutes.
Had a terrible experience here. Multiple other groups that arrived after got the food first and it turned out that they'd served them our food. When the sandwich came almost half an hour after, it was burnt and cold at the same time. They weren't even apologetic. The worst part was the nonchalant staff who couldn't care less when we expressed our unhappiness with their food and service. Also, the place only has 5 tables and everyone had to wait around to catch an emptying table.
Friendly staff. Service a bit slow. Pies and bread loaves made from scratch. Nice to sit by the counter watching kitchen activities. The slice of chicken pot pie I ordered was filled with real chicken chucks and other veggies. Pie crust is average. Yet still have troubles to justify $9.5 for a slice of pie that size.
Very good food. Both the lentil soup and the beef pie we had was excellent. The place is too cramped though. There was a never ending lineup and people kept bumping to us as we were eating.
