Wanda's Pie in the Sky

This place always has a warm, homey vibe to me whenever I visit. The staff are also warm and friendly. They have a wide selection of pies to choose from, as well as other pastries and even savoury food. I had a slice of the Wild Blueberry pie with a mocha. The pie was tasty. I like the texture of the dough. The blueberry filling is a bit tart, but not overwhelming. My only negative is it is a pretty expensive slice, and the portion is not the biggest. The mocha was also nice, and I liked the depth of the espresso flavour along with the chocolate.

Star of the show was the key lime pie. Just delicious! Really fun and eclectic vibe, suits the Kensington area well. Fun to eat pie while people watching out on the patio. There’s a piano inside where a patron was playing a silly little tune. I love places like this.

It is a very well decorated cozy space with a lot of options. Got a pecan pie which was great, not too sweet and it tasted freshly made. Also got the samosa croissant and pizza croissant. Both were good.

Heard Wanda's was a great place for pie and wanted to bring something more unique to a friend's place for dinner. We picked up a 9 inch apple crumble. Totally goofed and forgot to take a picture of it but everyone really liked it! Definitely a bit more on the pricier side at around $35ish, but supporting local businesses is always worth it. Was big enough to share across 10 people. The only thing that I found kind of strange was there was no straight up apple pie when we went. Also has a cute patio to enjoy as well!

Got the coconut cream pie and the banana cream pie (didn’t take a photo of it) and we didn’t like them. The coconut cream pie had too much whipped cream and less coconut flavour which I personally didn’t like. I also wasn’t a fan of the crust. The frozen coconut pie that you can find at metro tastes much better than this and it costs much cheaper. Staff were polite and the store was nice but the pies were disappointing unfortunately.

Homey spot with great portions and a wide variety of pies. Would definitely come back! Note to bring cash though just in case their machine goes offline.

It felt like I was on my grandmas house eating great pays. I recommend the blueberry one, also the portions are huge I was surprised. The place offers great coffee. Another great thing was the blueberry danish, the cheesy croissant and the peanut cookie.

Yummy! Great selection, happy employees. The forks were a bit wonky. But there is the opportunity to ask for a better one. (Neurodivergent score) Located in fascinating Kensington Market, you also get to people watch. I bought pie to eat and a pie to take home. Great crust! Plenty of filling.

I'm on a mission to find THE best coconut cream pie in Toronto. My obsession for coconut cream pie only started this year when I had a slice from a regular Swiss Chalet and loved the creamy texture and strong coconut flavour of the dessert. And so, top of myy list was Wanda's Pie in the Sky! I ordered a coconut cream pie to go to enjoy it outdoors and I found that the coconut flavour wasn't as strong and pungent as I would've liked. Still, a nice dessert and also not too sweet. I will totally return to try their other pies.

I stopped in here for a little sampling of some of their mini pies, which were reasonably priced and such a great variety. My only lesson learned is that I think you're better off with the full size pies for any fruit variety for a better dough to filling ratio. But the creme, meringue or comparable options are great in the mini versions! The staff was very nice as well.

Been pinned for many years and finally tried it in 2025. Don't love fruits pies so this is just a review about the cream pie. The coconut pie had layers of pudding/custard and cream on top, very different than what I've had before. The banana pie was similar to the coconut with the pudding/custard layer but it wasn't was thick. Both crust didn't have a butter taste, maybe butter wasn't used? Idk? Definitely would need to come back for a fruit pie and the key lime.

My gf knew I really liked lemon meringue and key lime pie so for my bday she researched to find a place and found this place which happens to specializes in pies. I took a look on the website beforehand and the pictures looked BUENO (thank God they have pictures too). We stopped by after filling our tummies with some goodies over at St Lawrence Market, while making sure to leave enough room. So did it live up to the hype? The lemon meringue pie? Not so much. The key lime pie? ABSOLUTELY. Wow. Will DEFINITELY be coming back for more key lime pie. Amazing pie slice. The lemon meringue slice, while the curd was tasty, it could've used less thickener imo. The meringue I could tell had been sitting maybe a lil too long cuz it was already leaking a slight bit of water. I think my mom can make a comparable lemon meringue (possibly even a better one). I do want to come back though. The peach melba sounds incredible. I also saw someone get an apple crumble slice and it looked really good too so I want to try apple crumble as well. They should provide an ice cream scoop add-on option for some of their pie slices (maybe not during winter but during summer!) We got a cup of hot apple cider to wash everything down. It was ok. Definitely not as good as the apple cider we had at Applewood Farms over in Stouffville, but that's to be expected I guess. 100% coming back. I don't think any key lime pie I've had comes close!

Delicious!!! Still some of the best pie's I've ever had. I highly recommend checking it out.

It's truly a gem in Kensington Market with many variety of flavorful pies, cookies, cakes, desserts and vegetarian food options. I really like the vibe in here; it's cozy and warm and feels like a home. The staff are very friendly that positively contributes to the vibe. I always get confused when I want to order here, cause everything looks delicious here. This time, we ordered carrot cake slices and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend.

What a treat! I've heard of Wanda's pie in the sky but this was my first visit. Lots of options to choose from for pies and even a few cakes plus baked goodies including some savoury options and salads. I ordered a decaf iced latte and a slice of key lime pie. When the barista was making my latte she accidentally made it hot but it was a scorching 30° outside and she was so nice about the accident and made me a new one that was iced. She was genuinely so kind about it and even let my friend enjoy the hot one she prepared on the house which we really appreciated. My friend had the tabouleh salad and a slice of the strawberry rhubarb pie. She said both were good! It's a great spot with a lot of character. I'm looking forward to going back to try more!

Picked up two slices to try: the carrot cake and key lime pie. Pie slices are $7.75 and cake slices $8. Both cakes were generous, tasty, and very solid home made versions of these classics. I think the cozy and warm interior really adds to this place. Though we bought our slices to go, there is plenty of seating and I imagine this would be a great spot to catch up with friends or read a book with a tea and a slice. Next time I'll try the pecan pie or coconut cream pie. Service was quick and friendly.

Located on the edge of Kensington Market on Augusta, Wanda's Pie in the Sky has been said to have one of the best pie, cheesecake, and cake slices in Toronto. So, I decided to give them a try by purchasing a small Wild Blueberry Pie to go. The bonus of bringing the pie home was that I got to heat it up in the oven prior too eating it. The pie was delicious. The blueberry filling wasn't overly sweet, or sour, and the crust has just the right amount of flakiness, and very good flavour. The pies here all have a homemade feel to them, and some other flavours available are: - Coconut Cream - Pecan - Apple crumble - Chocolate pecan - Banana Cream - Strawberry Rhubarb - Key Lime Aside from pastries, the establishment also serves lunch items such as sandwiches, soups, pizza, and have a solid café menu. The interior has an antique feel, with aqua painted walls covered with art from local artists, and posters and ads for local businesses, and events. Cozy seating is available indoors, in addition to a patio space outside for warmer months. The service here is considered average in my opinion.

Nice pies although they are a tad on the sweet side. The crust is perfect though. Tried the mango and blueberry and definitely preferred the mango more.

Purchased the pecan pie and served it to guests at dinner. Everyone was extremely disappointed as the filling texture was curdled. We discussed the reason and came to the conclusion that eggs were added while the liquid was hot and henced "scrambled". I called Wanda's Pie in the Sky the next day to explain the reason why I was returning the pie. I was told that they would refund me. When I went to the shop, I was told no refund will be given and to wait for a response from them. It has been 4 days and no response. Am extremely disappointed with the quality of the product and the lack of customer service. I purchased it based on its reputation. I definitely will not be going back.

I couldn't stop thinking about their delicious blueberry danishes so I had to come back to Wanda's Pie in the Sky! Fast service and place wasn't busy in early afternoon. The danish was so good and even better when heated up after kept in the fridge. $5 Highly recommend!

A staple in the Kensington market that specializes in (you guessed it) pies. They're a rather famous establishment known for their pecan, strawberry, chocolate, coconut pies. Today I came to try something less well known, only because its not in their name: their cheesecakes. Blueberry cheesecake - A classic cheesecake, with a heavy cheese filing. Not as heavy or dense as a traditional NY style cheesecake, but not as light as a Japanese cheesecake (closer to NY style more tho). The crust was amazing, as should be expected from a pie store. The jam on top was excellent, the fruity sweetness complimented the creaminess of the cheesecake. This was coupled with the butter and crunch from the crust, delicious! Mango cheesecake - the cake had the same cheesecake base as the blueberry, but had a mango mousse on top. The mousse lacked the fruity flavour as would have been expected from a jam. I don't think the flavours mashed as well as the blueberry cheesecake and so I would not recommend this cake. Great bakery, and nice if you want to head over just to grab a slice or get an entire pie for a party. I would highly recommend! The staff was also nice and helpful.

I finally got to eat Wanda's pie... but it was at a table, not in the sky. I had previously given this place a bad review because let's face it, when they are out of pie they close and I couldn't seem to catch them when they were open. The pie is so good... Well, get there early. My experience was delicious pie, friendly a really groovy location. Love everything about it! I'm very glad I got to update this review.

I had read about this place online and it is by Kensington Market. You can get either sliced or whole pies. There are both large and smaller sized whole pies too. I got the sour cherry per the recommendation of the staff. It is definitely tart, and the filling is jelly like. I wish the pastry is more fluffy, it tasted much dense and thick than I preferred. They also use almond extract in the pie so it was definitely not expected. There are tons of seating inside the little shop as well.

Came here on late summer afternoon, and it was busy!!! Wanda's pie in the sky is a pie place located in the heart of Kensington market. It's unique, cute, cozy, and offers several pie selections. I did order the lemon meringue and find it to be just OK, nothing outstanding. Definitely would come back to try other pies. I would recommend if you are a pie fan!

Very good pies. The crust could use a wee bit of salt but otherwise is so good. Def a fun place to sit with friends and your dog.

At the heart of Kensington market is Wanda's pie in the sky, a quirky and unique establishment that blends into the hop and trendy environment around it whilst also making its mark. Whilst the interior seems a little old and worn, it adds to the charm of this place serving up homestyle treats and pies with atleast one that will be sure to be to your taste. Staff are friendly and keen to give you recommendations, but make sure you ask them to warm up your pie as the first time I received it, it was stone cold. We opted for a slice of the classic Ontario sour cherry, one slice of the apple crumble and one cappuccino. The pie, once warm, was super tasty with just the right amount of sweetness to tartness. And the cappuccino was the perfect pairing with it. It was a little pricey, however the pie is good and doesn't disappoint!

This place has seen me at my peaks and valleys. I do not eat many pies but these pies are definitely giving pie. I really like the interior it makes me feel like a kindergarten art teacher in a movie. I don't remember this being the case but that coffee looks watery so be cautious of that

I recently visited this establishment based on a recommendation and its reputation as a local staple. While the service was friendly, I found the overall experience to be somewhat underwhelming and wasn't blown away by the food.

Food: 3.8/5 the lemon meringue pie is a bit sour but the top layer tastes good Environment: 4/5 good outdoor patio but there are always birds chasing for food Service: 4/5

I don't even know where to start on this one. My visit to this place was REALLY disappointing. I stopped in to grab some pies before returning to New York City. I had read about this on several lists of food options in the Kensington Market Area. I walked in just as a customer had finished paying for their items so essentially I became the first person on line. I thought things would go quickly but as the minutes ticked by and a line formed behind me, I realized none of the FIVE (5) people behind the counter were going to acknowledge the line of people forming. Consider the fact that I stand at 6'4 and I was wearing a red shirt. Being at the head of the line I decided it was up to me to address the lack of situational awareness. I asked a gentleman if there was anyone assisting customers at the register. He said he would help but his body language was lackluster and he didn't move with urgency. On top of that, I had to repeat my order for three (3) individual slices to him. I paid with cash, which they didn't have change for and went on my way. (I had to apologize to a friend that was waiting for me in the car). Imagine my deep dismay when I opened one of the pie containers and immediately spotted MOLD on the pie slice (See pictures). I could not believe it. I replayed the events in my head and remember the gentleman replacing a display slice after packaging my slices. Could he have placed a display slice into my cartons by accident? The New Yorker in me can think of an even worse scenario but ethically I can't describe that scenario because I don't have any proof. All I can say, with definitive proof is that the service was unacceptably slow considering that amount of staff at hand. In addition the food (pies at least) are not safe to eat. I'm hoping to revisit Toronto soon. I'll be passing by again to see if this was an aberration or a symptom of deep problems at this establishment. If you visit, "May the odds be ever in your favor."

Nice crunchy pie, with a rich apple filling. Great with a scoop of ice cream. Just the right sweetness.

Lemon meringue pie was a good combination of really light meringue, rich (yet still slightly tart) lemon curd and a base that was pretty firm (though parts were a bit mushy - I bought it late in the day) Key lime & Coconut cream pies both had light, fresh cream. Key lime had a crumbly base which had no body - I'm not a fan. Coconut cream had a crisp firm base which was good (much firmer and crisper than other pies so YMMV). Coconut had a mild flavour; lime wasn't too strong. Both had bits of fruit.

The pies and coffee are consistently great. Highly recommend pecan, coconut cream, and banana cream.

Really cute spot in Kensington! Came here for some pie and wasn't disappointed! The place looks so nice on the inside. Indoor dining was closed because of COVID but you could grab items to go. We got the chocolate pecan pie and the apple pie. Both were decadent and portions were massive. I'd definitely stick to the apple pie though as it was perfect! Come here if you're craving some good pie in downtown toronto!

Wanda shoots for the moon and comes pretty close. On our 1st visit we indulged in the banana creme pie. The cremey texture and the tasty crust was refreshing and a lovely way to enjoy the Kensington vibe. On our 2nd visit we tried the seasonal peach pie which fell a little short. Will I return yes, can things be improved yes.

Very friendly Water with ice Kensington a MUST for visitors Pecan pie is great Just need to add a bit more ice cream :)

Wanda's Pie in the Sky is a vegetarian cafe that specializes in pies and daily savoury items such as salads, sandwiches, and quiches. Their quiche is quite good. It's best to come in the morning because it's usually sold out by noon or early afternoon. The salads rotate daily. Their noodle salad with vegs (spinach, bell peppers, onion) & slivered almonds is alright - it has a refreshing taste that's not overly dressed, and I like crunch. The beans / chickpeas salad is pretty good. There are a few bench-style seatings inside, and a small patio in the front. Service is always nice and friendly.

Old fashion pies filled with fruits are such a wholesome treat. Ontario Sour Cherry Pie - Lots of fruits, not much sugar, buttery crust. Just loved it. Banana Cream Pie - Good cream and custard and banana. Real ingredients for great desert.

All original, in-house made, on-the-spot baked goods from savoury dishes (pizza, breakfast foods, etc.) to croissants to varied pies! Fun interior. Also serves beverages (including good drip coffee). Its a Kensington Market staple. Highly recommended: Weekends, they serve their Monkey Bread (Crispy and gooey moist textures, brown sugar-y sauce and walnuts/pecans and dashes of tartness ...words are unfair to describe it. MUST try! Usually available after noon-1 pm. Still only $5.00 CDN !

I am so glad my friend got me to go to Wanda's. Mouth watering savoury pies, tempting sweet pies, and coffee or tea makes for a perfect pairing. Don't get misled, Wanda's is so much more than pies; they also serve soups, sandwiches, pizza, and even pierogies. WE TRIED: - Eggs Wanda - croissant pastry with mushroom, spinach in a bechamel sauce topped with a poached egg and cheese. Perfect all-in-one breakfast item OH YEAH! - Monkey bread (also called monkey puzzle bread, sticky bread, Hungarian coffee cake, golden crown, pinch-me cake, and pluck-it cake) - warm, sticky and sweet: a carbivore's dream come true! - Mulled apple cider - the barista offered us a free sample. They take apple cider to new heights by adding their own blend of spices (cloves, cinnamon and ginger). The resultant brew was full-flavored, rich and very soothing for a cold day. We sat outside in their roomy outdoor patio and had a relaxing and very enjoyable lunch. Homey atmosphere, warm staff and appetizing food guarantees a return visit.

If you find yourself in Keningston Market and are craving something sweet and delicious, look no further than Wandas! This place is a staple and so good! It's bigger than most places in the area so you can definitely have a sit down there to eat and relax. It's a place for a huge variety of different pies and cakes as well as some savoury food options. Everything is very fresh here. The one thing is that if you buy something you should eat it quickly as it can go stale pretty quick.

Nice vegetarian eatery selling pies and other foods in Kensington Market. I got the wild blueberry 6" pie. My first impression was that the crust is very nice and thick and the blueberry filling was plentiful. The filling wasn't too sweet which was nice, it was tart and complimented the crust well. Overall I would recommend this place for higher quality pies, they have a lot of different flavours and I would love to come back again to try more things.

I've often visited Wanda's with others who have purchased something there but until now I'd never bought anything from the store myself. On Sunday - Kensington Market's last Pedestrian Sunday of the year - 3 others and I went there to buy something to take to another friend's place. We decided upon an apple crumble pie which turned out to be quite delicious. A great choice. The venue is quite small but being situated right on a street corner is nonetheless quite conspicuous. The service we received was quite prompt; we'd walked by the store earlier but didn't go in then as we noticed a lengthy lineup. So we went to a nearby venue for drinks, then decided to check Wanda's again, finding the lineup almost nonexistent compared to earlier. So a note to others: even on a particularly busy day in the Market, i.e. Pedestrian Sunday, it may be worthwhile to come back later if you can if there's a long lineup. The décor inside is nothing special; typical for a quaint pastry shop. There is a small patio out front which is nice.

Breaking news of the day: the girlfriend likes pies. Also breaking today: I realized I DON'T like pies. So in order to leave an un-biased review, here's one from the girlfriend: Hey guys! Girlfriend here! I've heard a lot about this place and after 6 years of living in Toronto, on a particularly miserable, rainy day we decided to try it out! It's like you walked into your grandmas cottage kitchen converted into a cafe. Full of random tidbits that mesh together and a messy yet lived in vibe. Love it! If you're a clean freak this place is probably not for you but then you shouldn't be in Kensington in the first place (my favourite neighbourhood in Toronto). We ordered their two most popular pies (as described by the super friendly staff) and a coconut milk latte; the key-lime pie and sour cherry pie. The key-lime pie was fresh, airy and wonderfully sour. The base was crumbly and tasted of cookie dough but for pie. However, if you don't like citrus flavours don't try this as the lime flavour is quite strong. Gives you a little zing at the end of every bite. The sour cherry pie was warmed up. I loved it! Could have been warmer and more gooey but overall a great cherry pie with hints of almond (yes it has almonds). The crust was delicious and flakey. The coconut latte was a coconut latte. I'm a coffee snob so can't say anything about this. Definitely not for coffee snobs but completed my overall rainy day evening dessert run. Overall please go for some delicious pies you won't regret!

I don't recall ever having cookies, pie and a cinnamon roll that tasted sooooo good. The sour cherry pie wasn't overly sweet. How can an an oatmeal chocolate chip be so moist, chocolaty and crumble like a flakey cake, all at the same time? The cinnamon roll-melts-in-your-mouth FANTASSSSTIC. It's a must visit if you're in Toronto. It was my go to place for delectable pastries.

Part of my Toronto trip includes being able to try the best pie in the city! After asking friends and checking out various blogs and Toronto food blogs, all signs pointed me to Wanda's Pie in the Sky. This place is located in Kensington Market near China Town, which is a bit of a hike from where we we were (since we were in town for TIFF). But, my friend was gracious and we made our way over there to have pie for dinner. A pleasant surprise upon walking in is that it's a 100% vegetarian restaurant! This made me feel great, because that meant their pie crusts weren't made with lard. The shop is really quaint and charming and located on the corner of Augusta and Oxford. It's a pretty decent-sized space with bar stools along the windows (that open up), plenty of patio seating, tables located throughout the inside. There are many pies to choose from from cream pies, to fruit pies and even sweet and savory pies! We asked the lady working there what she would recommend and she said since Ontario peaches were in season the peach pie would be a good choice. My friend ordered a slice of that and I ordered a slice of peach and praline, which was like a peach with caramel on it. It was so, so good. The pie slices are $5-6/slice, which sounds expensive, but I pay about that when I visit Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits in Chicago. The plus side was my friend really got 1 1/2 slices of pie since the last piece of peach pie left, wasn't big enough to cut into two equal pieces. I don't know why there are bad reviews for management. We had a fine experience with the people working there; very friendly staff! We were there about an hour before they closed, so they weren't quite as busy. Perhaps in their busiest times it's a little crazier in there..? Regardless, I had a lovely experience there, the pie was delicious and I will absolutely come back next time I'm in Toronto!

Their pecan pie is really tasty. I'm normally not a fan of pies because they are too sweet but this pie is not sweet at all. Lots of pecan and the pie filling is dense and thick which I love.

3.5 Stars I had high hopes. They had a West African groundnut soup which looked good. The pastries were meh except for the spinach and feta croissant. Vegetarian pizza nice. Counter service ... detached. I thought I was the only one who felt that way until I read through some other reviews. The items were not excellent or exceptional by any stretch of the imagination, and that, combined with the overall dismissive attitude will not bring me back.

Over-rated. Found a hair in my Lemon Meringue​ pie, a long brown hair. Too sweet. I didn't bother going back for a "refund"; not going to ask for my $7 back (like really?) Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on Woo. I've tried this place numerous times and it's disappointed me each and every time. Only saving grace is that it's nestled in Kensington Market.

Good location in Kensington and near UT to people watch and just to relax after checking out all the unique stores near by. The pie itself is okay -- we had the banana cream and the cream was a little too watery. It's not the most upscale place, as tables can be kinda dirty and you have to buss your own plates. Also the decor is basically a mosh posh of random but if you're into hippie things, then this place is for you!

With a name like that, you'd think I'd try the pie on my first visit, but you'd be wrong. I'm quite stubborn like that. Got the strata which is kind of like a savoury bread pudding with heaps of flaky bread (tasted croissant-like), layered with various veggies, sitting in a hot tub of zesty creamy goodness. This vegetarian place is perpetually popular so seating can be limited, but the vibe is very chill once you do settle in. There's communal tables too. Rating: 4 attempts at ordering burgers from KFC out of 5

Wanda's was incredibly dirty and I was scared to buy anything. There were a lot of bugs flying around and flies were sitting on the pies and cupcakes. I ended up buying a carrot cake cookie because it was placed in a closed container with no flies. The cookie was light and not dense. They have a pretty large selection of desserts.. more than just pies. My friend ordered a coconut cream pie and she said it was not bad. It is also kinda expensive for a slice of pie. It cost around $5 for each slice. It is a lot more worth to buy the entire pie. The location of Wanda's is great. It is in the center of Kensington Market. It is a little hard to find parking but if you do, this area is a cute place to walk around. No free wifi.

July 3/19: A damn decent piece of Coconut Cream Pie!! Very tasty in the heart of Kensington Market. Has both outdoor & inside seating (although limited inside seating). Great selection. Mine was my favourite Coconut Cream Pie. Good size piece & very "coconutty"...just the way I like it! I'd go again for sure.

Bought the famous apple crumble and sour cherry pie (my rating only applies to these two deserts). Apple crumble is good, but not good enough to justify the price. The crumble lives up to my expectation; it's crunchy with slight burnt taste. But I'm a bit disappointed at the apple filling. I expect the apple would be better than this in the apple season. The sour cherry pie is a total bad choice from my view. Not because it's too sour as other people have warned, it just tastes not like cherries more like canned fruits. That being said, I might still come back to try other pies.

After the first bite of the banana cream pie I fell in love with it and this shop and I told myself I'm gonna come back every weekend for this. Hands down the BEST banana cream pie I have ever had in my life. They have so many choices, but I don't really like the strawberry rhubarb one, they also have so many other things than pies such as sandwiches, cake, croissant, cookies. I will try more when I'm back in the future.

I've never eaten here, but at least once a year I treat myself to Wanda's Blueberry Pie. AMAZING! You can really taste the difference. There's no preservatives, it's not overly sweet, just the right amount of filing. The blueberry pie is the only pie I've had here, and it's delicious and I would recommend it! Check them out :)

Been here a few times over the past few years. I've always gotten something that I've liked. I've ordered cupcakes, pies and croissants from here and they're always great! If you're in the area it's a great place to stop at!
