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!

Came here for a bit of a snack after work. I ended up buying way too many things because everything looked phenomenal. Their glazed sour dough doughnut is easily the best donut I’ve ever had! I was surprised to see that they have homemade pop tarts on their menu, I HAD to try this since I love pop tarts! While this item isn’t anything out of this world, it was still very good and it definitely scratched the itch!
Very nice dining room with beautiful oak tables (I think it’s oak, idk wood).
The coffee is average, but this place doesn’t seem to be about coffee. You come here for pastries!
Very much recommend, service was fine, atmosphere is nice although the loud fridge buzzing at the entrance keeps me from writing 5 stars!
I’ll definitely be back! Fantastic job to everyone who works here!

Dear Life of Pie,
What a lovely place. A few suggestions for improvements:
Make more savory and cafe style drinks. Delicious baked good but la could use some healthy options.
Put your menu on one plaque and make it all very clear.
Take the shelves that block the window and put your tables so people can sit next to the window. You have so much light. Space out the back seats to allow for easy wheelchair access to the path room. Replace your fridge, it’s unfortunately very loud and prevents from enjoying your lovely space.
Too expensive for the quantity

Google said they still served breakfast but sadly no. And Easter weekend was too busy with selling pies to make a breakfast sandwich (only fare left from breakfast menu). Our group had scones instead.

Went in looking for a slice of savoury pie (the chalk board outside said chive and onion), but was told they don't serve slices of their savoury pies, just their sweet ones...A little confused as to why a pie shop has a grand display of sweet baked goods (donuts, muffins, rice krispie squares), but if you ask for a slice of savoury pie, the only option available is to purchase a refrigerated or frozen whole pie.I would like to try my pie before I buy.
Local Cafe bakery w locally bake goods.

My first time in life of pie today, and I have to say I was expecting there to be lots of pies to select to have a piece of pie but seems like they sell more whole pies rather than by the slice. They did have many desserts to pick from, so we had a blondie and a brownie thé blondie was a bit stale but still good and we had the drip coffee and that was also good. The service was great, very friendly staff. Atmosphere could be a bit better tight space, tables weren’t the cleanest, not many tables.

WAY TOO SALTY :/ I love this place and I have been there a few times, last time I thought the soup was very salty, and tonight we tried a kitsch, it's very good but it's absolutely salty, so I think this is not an isolated case, unfortunately that's the way they cook.

I ordered a cherry pie, the pie was soggy and mushy, the filling was bitter, tasted off and there were pits in the cherries still. Not acceptable. I even emailed them with zero response. This was Feb 2.

Went at 4pm, 1 hour before closing. No pie left for diners. Not sure what type of pie cafe has no pie for customers, especially when they have many whole pies for sale. Pies are your business and trying to save money by not putting out more is not the way to get first-timers to say “man that was good, we have to buy one to take home”Latte was somewhere between tepid and lukewarm. Not good if you are trying to compete as a small shop in a pool of large chains. (We prefer the local shops)

One of my local favourites. I try to stock up on their frozen dinner pies whenever I spot a free parking spot out front. Personal favourite is the Moroccan pie.
Quality products.
