A very good pie shop.

Lovely spot to take in the essence of the community of Old Ottawa South. Great to see them share their space to support other local businesses. I love their london fog scone. Highly recommend this spot, divas!

The best pie. I crave it. The filling combinations are always fun and unique and delicious. The crust is great. It's not too sweet. I never really liked pie until I had theirs.

The other baked goods can be hit or miss. The brown sugar fudge was amazing. I don't love how they leave the bread out on the customer side of the cash as it doesn't seem sanitary but the pies are in boxes behind the counter. They make the poor cashier do all the drinks so it's a bit slow at times. But worth it.

I ordered 2 pies yesterday, apple and pumpkin. I called 24 hours before and they had them ready for pick up! They were delicious! Everyone loved them. Not too sweet and you can taste the high quality ingredients! The services was great as well! Will definitely go again to try other things! Thank you

I asked the bakery to put up a sign 3 times regarding pricing for soups because the prices change according to the weather
I inquired re the 6 item no gst and am told its different at this bakery than the one in Glebe where 6 items of any baked goods counts no gst. Im told that's wrong by this bakery. Is it? Check city by law rules.
The seated clientele are served and prioritized before the line up.
Regardless this is not a server restaurant ... its a bakery and people do not want to compete for the time of the cashier/server who is doing 3 jobs.
The signage finally went up.
The staff do not inform public that at end of day there's a sale on food. What? im not sure why?
I do not guess.

All in all we noted inconsistencies throughout the years but the main inconsistency is that we do not get to know anything about pricing unless we ask and or make it real and we need to push or call out to staff.. staff to move harder faster to serve us. Food is always great.

2025-10-02-Stopped in for a break this morning & tried the Very Berry Scone. It was fresh, not too sweet and quite tasty. I like scones made with minimal sugar, or savory, that are not dry. I was told the coffee is good here, may try that the next time.
2025-Oct- I did have the coffee here on a follow-up visit but that was not what I like & I had heartburn afterwards. I grind my own beans at home & use an espresso blend, so I'm used to strong coffee. It could be that the coffee sits on the burner, which makes for more acid.

Such a lovely atmosphere!! Reminds me of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia a bit. The scones are amazing. Thank you for supporting Ukraine!

I love this bakery and coffee shop. The scones are the best I have ever had. Especially love the coconut lime scones. Staff are very pleasant.

First pie I got here! It was so good! The crisp was crisping! It became a family favourite:)

The service is great, the employees are super nice and chill, and the cookies were really good, but if I'm paying $35 for a pie it shouldn't taste like someone dumped unseasoned frozen ground meat into a pie shell. Come for the small baked goods and the chill seating area!! But DON'T buy any of the savory pies, they're way overpriced.

Like the name says, go get a pie!!! The crust was delicious and the filling so so fruity and flavourful!!!

A welcoming small business producing fantastic pies! I purchased a Triple Berry pie and an Ontario Nectarine Plum crisp as desserts for friends and both exceeded all expectations. Keep up the great work!
