The Pie Plate – Virgil, Ontario

Submitted by Jill B, Cathy C, Linda E, and Cathy K.

The perfect place to pick up a sweet treat on route to Niagara-on-the-Lake!  As Jill B. told us: “I have a job that involves me travelling a good part of Ontario, as well as being a cottage owner, so I’ve tried quite a few places. I from come a family of dessert freaks and avid bakers, my mom used to cater. Hands down the Pie Plate in Virgil is the best pie I’ve had and the closest to my mother’s homemade pie.”

Submitted by Adrian F

This pie shop in the heart of Toronto’s Kensington Market also has a Niagara connection. The pie shop’s namesake Wanda Beaver grew up in St. Catharines, Ontario, in the heart of Niagara’s Fruitland. She baked her first pie using the cherries she picked in her backyard! Make sure to try the delicious Strawberry-Rhubarb, or if you are looking for something more decadent give the Black-Bottom Chocolate Pecan pie a taste.

Bread and Butter Bakery – Kingston, Ontario

Fresh and local – two of the things that make this bakery’s pies so delicious. Everything in the store is made fresh each day, using all natural ingredients and local produce whenever possible. As Angela posted: “I hated apple pies until I had one of theirs. I’ve never had such a great pie! Their crusts are amazing. Sweet pie dough for the fruit pies, and cream cheese pastry for their fantastic savory pies and quiches!”

The Big Apple – Colbourne, Ontario

Where else to get Ontario’s best pie than at the The World’s Biggest Apple, located north of the town of Colborne. Just off the highway this is is an ideal snack break, offering delicious apple pies baked right on the premises. Make sure to leave time for photo ops!
