Mister Wheel located inside the Upper East Food Club along Yonge St. near Church Ave in Willowdale services up Taiwanese wheel pies. Originally from Taiwan, this small shop just opened in Toronto where we happened to stumble upon their grand opening weekend. They also have a location in Singapore but I believe that this is their first ever North American location. The kiosk shares a space with other businesses in the food hall where they are located in the back right corner.
The menu only has wheel pies, which are made to order, as well as drinks. For the wheel pies, they have unique flavours like custard, red bean, taro, matcha w/ mochi, black sesame, chocolate, earl grey, Thai milk tea, pistachio, and even bacon with potato. The wheel pies are made on a special iron device where the flavours are inside the cake like pie. Since it was their grand opening weekend, they didn't have any drinks available...but if you followed them on social media you can get a free custard wheel pie. This promotion is available from Aug 2 to Aug 14 where 200 free pies are available each day.
We ordered at the cashier and she was friendly enough to let us know of the promotion to get another free pie. We purchased 2 pies (and got a 3rd one for free) where it was about a 10 min wait as the pies were made fresh in front of our eyes. There were some tables we could sit and wait at. Once our order was ready staff called out my number and the pies were still hot and fresh in their packaging.
I had the pistachio wheel pie which was delicious! The cake like pie was nice and warm while the inside was filled with a pistachio like custard filling which was gooey. My husband mentioned that the custard one he had was delicious as well.
Overall, great new addition to the neighbourhood for Taiwanese wheel pies. A perfect snack or dessert (not sweet at all!). Would be curious to try their drinks once they're available!
