The 8 Best Places to Eat Pie in Winnipeg That Might Be Better Than Your Grandma’s
Fall will always be pumpkin season in our household. Every year, like clockwork, I go out and find the best pumpkin-spiced, flavored, and infused treats.
Pie sits at the top of that list. After a few seasons of searching, I’ve discovered some truly amazing pie spots in Winnipeg—not only for my fall favorites but for those classic, year-round flavors too.
Below, I’ve rounded up the best pie spots in Winnipeg to help you satisfy all your cravings.
1. Tall Grass Bakery

Website: https://tallgrassbakery.ca/
Location: 859 Westminster Ave
Operating hours:
Mon-Fri, 7 AM to 6 PM
Sun, 7 AM to 5 PM
Phone: +12047835097
Must-have: Banana Cream Pie
Tall Grass Prairie Bakery is known for its wholesome baked goods, but it’s their Banana Cream Pie that really stands out. You should grab a whole pie or a slice when it’s available but don’t wait too long because it only pops up once in a while.
It has a chocolate-lined crust, which adds a sweet, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy custard filling. Sliced bananas are generously layered in the center, giving a refreshing sweetness that cuts through the rich cream.
Finally, it’s topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, making it a very indulgent treat.
Pro Tip:
Aside from Westminster Avenue, you can find Tall Grass Bakery at Forks Market. The selection of pies may vary per branch so check their socials ahead of your visit.
2. Goodies Bakeshop

Location: 1124 Ellice Ave
Operating hours:
Mon-Fri, 9 AM to 10 PM
Sat, 9 AM to 9 PM
Sun, 10 AM to 6 PM
Phone: +12049492480
Must-have: Lemon Meringue
Goodies Bakeshop offers a slice of nostalgia with its carefully crafted pies. They have quite an impressive range of baked treats, which include fruity, chocolatey, and tangy flavors.
I love a simple fruit pie with its homemade flaky crust, but the Lemon Meringue and Key Lime are irresistible, especially when I’m craving something sweet and tangy. The whipped cream goes so well with the fresh fruit as it balances out the sweetness.
What I like about this bakery is that most of their pies are available at the store. Except for the pecan, you won’t have to pre-order these baked goodies.
Pro Tip:
They don’t accept orders via Instagram messages. Aside from giving them a call, you can email them at [email protected].
3. Cocoabeans

Location: 113 St Anne’s Rd
Operating hours:
Tue-Fri, 10 AM to 6 PM
Sat, 10 AM to 4 PM
Phone: +12049185313
Must-have: Pumpkin Pie
Cocoa Bean isn’t just the best gluten-free bakery in Winnipeg; it’s also one of my favorite pie spots in the city. Everything they make, from warm pumpkin to peach, is entirely gluten-free, making it a go-to for anyone with celiac disease.
I always look forward to their seasonal pies, which are made with the freshest fruits and produce available. The only problem is that they run out so fast.
But if you crave pie all year round, their chicken pot pie is a must. They now offer family-sized, heat-and-serve options that make it easy to enjoy piping-hot pie straight from your own oven.
Pro Tip:
Call ahead to check what pies are available and order your favorites before supplies run out.
4. The Rustic Kitchen

Location: 933 McLeod Ave #4
Operating hours: Tue-Sat, 10 AM to 6 PM
Phone: +12046884767
Must-have: Chicken Pot Pie
The Rustic Kitchen is known for its delicious pre-made meals, which include a variety of pies. If you’re craving something hearty but don’t have the time to cook, their chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food—warm, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying.
Made with a perfectly golden crust, and packed with chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, it’s a simple dish done exceptionally well. It’s no wonder it’s one of their bestsellers.
Aside from pies, you can get other sweet and savory treats at this store. They have calzones, tarts, baked buns, and more.
Pro Tip:
If you’re looking for variety, keep an eye on their weekly rotating menu, as they offer new pies and savory dishes regularly.
5. Baked Expectations

Website: http://bakedexpectations.ca/
Location: 161 Osborne St
Operating hours:
Sun-Thu, 12 PM to 10 PM
Fri-Sat, 12 PM to 11 PM
Phone: +12044525176
Must-have: Key Lime Pie
Baked Expectations offers an indulgent take on classic desserts, but they have one type of pie—Key Lime. The custard filling is the star of the show, made with fresh lemon and lime juice that gives the pie a sweet and tangy base.
Each pie is made in one large, shareable size that costs around $60. Although it’s on the pricier side, the taste is worth every penny.
If they don’t have any Key Lime pie, you might as well stick around and try their delicious cakes, which they are known for. While I do love a good old-fashioned chocolate cake, they have other flavors worth exploring like strawberry and carrot.
Pro Tip:
The pie requires a $10 deposit for the pie plate, which is refunded when you return it.
6. Munch It

Website: http://www.munchit.ca/
Location: Dominion Centre, 67 Goulet St
Operating hours:
Mon-Sat, 9 AM to 6 PM
Sun, 10 AM to 3 PM
Phone: +12044159553
Must-have: Lemon Pie
Munch It is a hidden gem with an impressive variety of fruit pies and tarts, starting at just $14.99. The selection includes classic flavors like apple, blueberry, peach, and banana cream pie.
They have limited seating inside, but its casual, friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot to get an afternoon pick-me-up. You can enjoy your pie with a cup of coffee or one of their tea lattes.
Although their pies are usually available daily, you can request custom orders for special occasions. They need extra time to prep and bake everything so give them a heads-up via phone or email.
Pro Tip:
They offer city-wide delivery seven days a week, so you can have a slice of pie delivered right to your door. When ordering via email, be sure to specify your delivery preferences.
7. Lilac Bakery

Website: http://www.lilacbakery.com/
Location: 920 Grosvenor Ave
Operating hours: Tue-Sat 10 AM to 5 PM
Phone: +12049928000
Must-have: Strawberry Rhubarb
Lilac Bakery offers a tempting selection of fruit pies like strawberry rhubarb, lemon meringue, and coconut cream. Their savory options are more elusive, so when that seasonal mincemeat pie appears on the menu, you’ll want to snag one fast!
My favorite is the strawberry rhubarb. When you bite into its light, flaky, and buttery crust, you’ll taste the sweet strawberry jam with a hint of zest from the rhubarb, which gives the pie such a well-rounded flavor.
The 10-inch pies serve up to eight, ideal for sharing with friends and family. But if you’re in the mood for a solo treat, their mini pies are perfect for indulging in one delightful sitting.
Pro Tip:
Remember to give 48 hours’ notice for custom orders to ensure your pie is baked fresh.
8. The Grove

Website: http://www.the-grove.ca/
Location: 164 Stafford St
Operating hours:
Sun, 10 AM to 1 AM
Mon-Wed, 11 AM to 1 AM
Thu-Fri, 11 AM to 2 AM
Sat, 9 AM to 2 AM
Phone: +12044153262
Must-have: Chicken Pot Pie
Aside from being one of the best mac and cheese spots in Winnipeg, The Grove is my go-to for chicken pot pie.
All that flavor comes from the rich, creamy sauce that coats the tender chicken and fresh vegetables. Then, they top the pie with a flaky, crisp puff pastry that just enhances the overall flavor of the filling.
Each order comes with a side dish of your choice, like a refreshing salad or crispy chips to balance out the richness of the pie. The portion sizes are generous, making this a full meal in itself.
Pro Tip:
This place fills up fast, especially during peak hours. For a relaxed experience, try visiting for an early lunch or a late afternoon treat.
