Thank you Pie Junkie, for humouring me when I mistakingly ordered from the wrong location! Thankful that you had a gorgeous Lemon Tart Pie at your Kensington location that I could still take away with me, and what a hit it was. The crust was devine. The filling was the perfect mix of tang and sweet! I highly, highly recommend Pie Junkie!
A friend gave me a sausage roll from this place before Christmas and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I stopped in yesterday and bought sausage rolls, a proper British steak and kidney pie, some Jamaican beef pies, and what has turned out to be an unexpected delight; butter chicken pie! Fantastic service and even better food.
I went to the Kensington location and I've never had a more delicious and heavenly key lime pie in my entire life, and I've had many. The owner is incredibly amiable, she clearly bakes with love and passion. It's a must try, and the variety of their baked goods is amazing.
We went to the Kensington location. Nice welcoming place. The staff were so friendly and helpful.
We bought the Lemon Tart - nice thin flakey crust, the lemon was the perfect amount of sweet and tartness - nice light tart!
We also bought the Apple and Peach hand pie. The crust also light, flakey with a sugar topping. Lots of fruit and not too sweet, the ratio between fruit and crust was perfect.
No flaws with this place - our new favorite for sure!
To celebrate Pi Day on March 14, I decided it was time to finally stop by Pie Junkie and Bakery (formerly the Pie Hole). There was a lot of parking available immediately in front of the store, the staff were helpful with suggestions and I was soon carrying a precarious stack of pies out to my car. Pro tip: bring a buddy to help keep your precious parcels safe on the drive home – I did not and only narrowly avoided disaster.
My friends and I tried the tomato & cheese and potato galette mini pies from the savoury menu. Both fillings were creamy and rich and the flaky, buttery pie crust was perfectly baked. From the sweet menu, we tried the sour cherry pie and chocolate raspberry ganache cream pie. The cherry was sweet and tart with a beautiful lattice top and the chocolate raspberry ganache was loaded with whipped cream and filled to the brim with a raspberry-packed chocolate custard. I will definitely be back to this gem of a bakery!
I saw this place by chance when looking for Oguraya bakery and it's within a residential area. It's a small pie shop and when I got there in the afternoon they only had savoury pies left on the shelf. We got the ham and cheese quiche to go so we didn't get to stay but the service was quite friendly and the man behind the counter told us about each pie. We reheated the quiche at home and wow was it good! The crust was flaky and not dry at all, the quiche itself had onions inside which I felt really made the entire dish so much better. I've had quiches in the past that only had egg, ham, and cheese which is good too but adding onions is just wow! I just wish that there's more ham to it. I didn't try any of their other pies but they do look good so maybe if I have the chance I'll drop by again!
This was the first time I stopped in and I was excited to try their pie. I picked up an apple pie to take home. The service was friendly and prompt. The pastry was excellent and while the apples still had a bit of firmness to them, I was put off by how tart the filling was. This was a disappointment considering the price of the pie. Because the pastry was so good, I would visit again but I would try something savoury. The pie filling just didn't suit my tastes.
Really good!!!
I arrived here today. Turns out they're closed on Mondays, BUT they let me order anyway, as they were preparing for thanksgiving pie making (and the door was open) I thought that was gracious!
I ordered a ham and cheese quiche and a steak and mushroom personal pie. They heated up the quiche for me and I took the steak one cold to eat later tonight.
The quiche was the BEST I'VE EVER HAD. It was fluffy, cheesey and the buttery crust was perfect!!!
Tonight when I got home I threw the steak and mushroom pie into the toaster oven and heated it for about 15 minutes. Came out perfect!!! Just enough filling and once again a crunchy buttery crust.
The only downside is that it is quite expensive to get your own pie. $7 & $8. They're quite small. But really tasty. I'll try a fruit filled one next time!
Best pies I have ever had! Crust is perfect and not doughy. Our savory pies were oven warmed and delicious. Just get there well before closing if you want to eat there because they shut the ovens down, as we found out on our second visit. Staff was friendly and explained what was in each pie.
We had the ricotta cheese handpie and the potato gallete. The handpie was really cold and a little bit heavy. Not my favourite. But the potato was ah-mazing! Will be back to try another sweet pie soon.
I absolutely love this bakery! Everyone is so friendly and helpful when you're choosing your order. We tried the chicken pot pie, steak and mushroom, and pork savoury pies, and the sour cherry pie for dessert. The steak and mushroom was by far the favourite, but they were all very good! The crust is deliciously flaky and it definitely tastes like they use butter, not margarine. The pork pie was a tiny bit salty, but the other seasonings were really nice. We found that the chicken pot pie had a slightly too strong potato flavour, but was still very tasty. The sour cherry was also good - not overly sweet and full of cherries! Definitely planning on coming back to try some of the other varieties!
All I can say is good things about all the locations in Calgary. Their staff is absolutely the kindest people out there and very helpful. The other day I got a Keylime pie and A mixed nut mocha pie. Both are so amazing and beautifully decorated. I got the tiny pies, and they were just so freaking cute. I recommend so many people here. Perfect proportions.
We got a wedding pie and mini pies for our autumn wedding in Golden. We had a great experience working with Pie Junkie. They made my vision come alive. I was so happy with how the florals turned out. The color and style was perfect. The pies all tasted amazing. Every single pie was gone at the end of the night, people loved them! Highly recommend going with Pie Junkie!

Amazing. Every single pie. Went here for the first time the other day after apparently living under a rock, was not disappointed. My favourites were the Steak, Stout & Gruyere, and the Banana Toffee for the sweet pies. In addition to the above mentioned, we tried: Raspberry cheesecake, Coconut cream, Salted Honey, Minced Meat, Aussie Beef, Onion & Cheese (hand pie), and Steak & Mushroom. Close seconds: Aussie Beef (Tangy, Worcestershire flavor), and Salted Honey (not terribly sweet, texture like a creme brulee).
We love these pies, a special treat every so often. Not inexpensive, but well worth it. You will never have a Safeway, co-op what grocer pie again.
Pie day desserts were incredible.
Also had the savory pies. Will continue to recommend!
Sure, it can be expensive, but you get what you pay for. Go ahead and buy a typical pumpkin pie from the grocery store. This place's niche is that they're next level. Like, bring for your ma's birthday, serve for a fancy date night, or bring to your boss's dinner party. I miss living down the road from this place... what a nice ending to a winter's day, perusing the goods fresh out of the oven. My fave is probably the cherry pie because it has such a good balance between sweetness and acidity.
During peak times like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, it's always a good idea to call ahead to put your order in. They get busy!
