Vi's For Pies

I was driving by and decided to pop in and check it out. I have heard about Vi’s Pies, but never tried before. I walked in and the store front was very cute and clean. However, lady working the counter was not very friendly. I tried smiling and making conversation and realized that wasn’t going anywhere. So I just looked at the menu and items on my own. Asked a few a questions about a couple of pies and received abrupt answers. I bought a chicken pot pie and when I got home I noticed there were no baking instructions. I called, the same employee answered and when I asked, she replied “Isn’t it on the box?” I could tell she was annoyed. I am not usually one to leave reviews, but it just goes to show that customer service is key as sadly I did not enjoy my first experience to this lovely little shop.

The setting is quaint and cozy, yet classy. The outdoor patio is comparable to a secret garden to enjoy your lunch in. The service is what loses the fifth star for this restaurant. Some servers simply aren't attentive, and come off as a rude. They save themselves from their poor service with their delicious food such as chciken pot pie, buncwhiches, soup, and salad, amongst other specialities.

A good experience filled with tasty food at quite a good value.

Good food. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere for dining. Good prices.

Great cafe with comfort food on the menu. The menu is presented to you on a large easel. There are specials all the time too. This is a great place to bring a friend and catch up. You can also end your meal on a sweet note with a slice of cheesecake or pie. All the options are so tempting.

An amazing hidden gem in Edmonton. Very causal and comfortable. Everyone feels at ease. Food is home made taste and quality. Doesn’t disappoint at all. The one thing missing is more space as this place, unsurprisingly, seems to always be full. The brisket and the home made beans could easily be classified as some of the best Edmonton has to offer.

The pie is amazing. The cake was amazing. Basically the food is amazing. My only gripe: the staff was a little hard edged when I went, not rude, but definitely not friendly. I'll play devil's advocate and say that maybe it's because it was later in the day on a weekend, and they were quite busy, so maybe the staff was a bit harried, but that shouldn't be much of an excuse. I'd go back because the pie was some of the best I've had.

This place is Amazing! Love the cake and pies. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff! I recommend this place to everyone.

Great place for a nice lunch in comfortable restaurant

Amazing! so glad this shop is open again for dine in and take out - the dessert and home cooking is addictive

Awesome place for dessert and you really do end your night on a sweet note! Selection of desserts were amazing...so hard to choose one when everything looked so yummy. I regret not asking his name but the guy behind the counter was the definition of good service...so friendly and kept coming over to top up our coffee. We are a little late to the game but now that we have discovered this gèm, we are definitely going to visit more often.

The pies and cakes and cheesecakes are absolutely delicious. Easily some of the best. However, it's quite pricey...

Great local find. Desserts are must, even if you have to skip dinner to do so. Plus the fireplace is perfect in the winter near the tables. Great find!

A heaven for people who like dessert. Staff are super friendly. Best place for Pie’s and cheese cake. Heard a lot about brunch menu. Will try it this month.

Best pies in Edmonton. You can stop in for lunch or supper for a decent hearty meal, but dessert is by far the best. They have cake, cheesecake, fruit pies, cream pies and more. If your looking to take home anything they sell by the slice in the main restaurant or full pies out of the bake shop next door. Along with meat pies and other baked goods they also have dog treats for take out as well. Finally if your unsure what you want or need something specific you can always call ahead and put in an order or ask what is available that day.
