Yearning for a slice of pie with a tender crust and juicy, fruity insides just like grandma used to make? Patrick and Candace Cousineau can help. The owners of Pies Plus Café, deep in Calgary’s suburban southeast, they make some of the city’s best pies and baked goods. A gem of a dessert house located in the Avenida Village shopping centre just off Macleod Trail, Pies Plus has been serving fresh, made-to-order pies and other scrumptious goodies for 25 years.
The homey café seats 28 but it feels like a comfortable living room with its large windows and warm, russet and forest-green accents. The artwork and pottery displayed on the café’s walls are available for purchase.

Why go to all the trouble of baking your own pie when you can hop in the car and head to Pies Plus at Avenida Shopping Centre. With over 80 pies to choose from, if you can’t find one you want, you aren’t trying hard enough. My favourite? The Merry Berry made with blueberry, raspberry and cranberry (and no it wasn’t named after me).
View this Smart ListThis family-run pie shop in Lake Bonavista features a selection of over 100 savoury and sweet pies including fruit or cream pies – something to suit every pie connoisseur. Café regulars claim there are no pies in Calgary quite like these homemade beauties. If you’re a lover of fruit pie, try the Scary Berry pie made with strawberry, cherry, apple and rhubarb or take a more traditional approach with the apple or cherry pies. Cream pie varieties include banana, butterscotch, chocolate, coconut and more.
