The Blue Stove

This was a recommendation from Yelp and as long as I love bakeries, I decided to try it. The place itself is very small (we managed to find a place for our baby stroller though), pies’ assortment was very poor (only three pies at around 3 pm but I believe they bake though the whole day and it is always different). I ordered pecan molasses and maple walnut. Pies are quite good, it can be easily said that they are baked from the scratch using the whole ingredients, just like homemade. But I can’t tell that it’s the best pie, pieces are also so small that I had to take scone and muffin in addition to feel full. Overall, it was nice experience but definitely The Blue Stove did not become my favourite bakery.

A neighborhood gem that specializes in pie, with both sweet and savory options available. The staff is friendly and happy to give out recommendations. They also have a variety of other pastries available and offer a fairly popular chocolate bundt cake, but the pie is the star of the show. The blueberry apple pie is amazing, with a light and flaky crust. For those concerned, there is no lard in the crust: they use vegetable shortening.

The plum raspberry crumble is up there with the best pies I've ever had. The bacon scone was also amazingly delicious - smokey and moist and yummy. Molasses coffee cake was just ok, though. There were lots of delicious sounding pies generally. So five stars for the pie, but word of warning about the limited seating - there were a few people camped will out with laptops, which didn't leave much remaining space for us to sit and eat out goodies.
