Walking in and dining at Sister Pie was probably the best part of my weekend. The cute little bakery lying in Indian Village was welcoming as soon as you walked in. The place was filled with flowers and home-looking items kind of like a house that would belong to a grandmother. The main attraction point was the countertop, overflowing with delicious looking pastries and the cutest signs with the names on them.

With a quick glance around the place, I was already in love.

The place overall was pretty crowded not because it’s a small bakery, but also it seemed like my mom and I arrived right after a biker group. There seemed to be plenty of baked goods left from what they had baked that morning, but unfortunately, the pie was almost gone.

The lady in line right before us seemed to grab the last piece of apple pie which both my mom and I were dying to try. Luckily, they still had Salted Maple and Cardamom Tahini Squash and I opted for the Salted Maple. We also decided to try the Lemon O Poppy Bun ($4), Fresh Mint and Lime cookies (2 for $1.50), and Golden Oggie cookie ($ 1.25).

For seating, there was a long table, but the biker gang took that, a bench, standing tables, and a small wire table and two chairs. We chose the standing table and began to dig into the  pastries.

I decided to go in order of trying the pastries by starting with the one I was the least excited to try – which were the cookies – and end with what I was the most excited for – the pie.

I first tried the Golden Oggie cookie and it tasted exactly like an oatmeal cookie. Soft and chewy with a hint of cinnamon. Next were the Mint and Lime cookies. They were a harder cookie covered in powdered sugar and didn’t have much flavor when right when I bit into it. Then a sudden burst of lime came and made the cookie 100 times better.

Then I tried the Lemon O Poppy Bun and it was absolutely amazing. It had the texture of a cinnamon bun but was obviously lemon instead. There seemed to be a lemon flavored cream filling holding the different layers together and a lemon frosting on top of the bun. It was a very sweet, light and fluffy pastry that I would totally get again.

I finally tried what I came for, the pie. The first bite I took was filled with a burst of sugary maple flavoring and I loved it to say the least. It was a flavor I have never tasted before and that’s what made it both interesting and delicious.

Overall, Sister Pie was a 10/10 in my book and I’m definitely going back and recommend the bakery to anyone who hasn’t been before.
