The Pie Hole - Vancouver

The staff of the Pie Hole is fantastic ~ helpful and very devoted to pies! And one taste will tell you why ~ Their pies are brilliant! So delicious~ A Five Star Recommendation!

About ten years ago, there was a tv show on air called Pushing Daisies about a man with the ability to bring back the dead… but with certain consequences. Together with his formerly-deceased childhood crush, he used his abilities to solve murder cases. The reason why I mention this is because the main character was a baker and opened a restaurant called “The Pie Hole”. Since then, I’ve had a fascination with being able to walk into a shop called “The Pie Hole” and order up a bunch of different tasty pies.About 4-5 years ago, I first heard about a place in Vancouver that sold pies and called themselves The Pie Hole. At the time, they didn’t have a retail location and mainly sold their pies through other retailers. This put a bit of a crimp into my plans but I finally did get to try their pies and fell hard for how tasty and unique their offerings were.Well, flash forward to 2017 and Jenell Parsons has finally opened a retail location of The Pie Hole. Located on Fraser Street (the same block as Fraser Court Seafood), you can find countless types of baked pies here… all waiting to satisfy your taste buds. One of their walls is emblazoned with a neon sign of the phrase that inspired their name… “Stuff Your Pie Hole”.You might think that pie is a very niche dessert product but they’ve come up with some very unique pies. And if you’re not a fan of sweets, they also have savory pies. Trust me, you’ve got to try their Bacon Cheeseburger Pie… it’s to die for!We stopped by to pick up a couple of slices of pie last month. The Key Lime is made from freshly squeezed lime and served on a honey graham crust. It’s light, creamy, and subtly tart with whipped cream on top. This is a great summertime pie.As much as I liked their Key Lime, I thought their Butter Pecan Pie was even better. The crunchy pecans mixed in with the sticky, chewy, ooey, buttery filling works in so many ways.I’ve often said that The Pie Hole makes some of the best pie crusts around Vancouver.

I was visiting Vancouver from Toronto with my wife and 2 kids. We were on our way to a dance rehearsal and running short on time when we passed a nice looking neighbourhood cafe. We didn't realize it was a pie shop- not just a dessert shop, but pies of all varieties: sweet, savoury, large, small, even hand held pies. Both of my my girls chose bacon cheeseburger hand pies. The hand pies were just the right size for my kids. They were packed with beef, cheese and bacon. They were incredible! My wife and I shared the chicken pot pie which was delicious. The pie was filled with tasty chicken and vegetables. It had just the right amount of cream inside and the crust was buttery and flaky. We couldn't leave without dessert, so we shared a piece of the chocolate pecan pie. It was by far, the best pecan pie I've ever had. Really!If I lived in Vancouver, The Pie Hole would be a weekly dinner spot for my family!

I was visiting Vancouver from Winnipeg and ambled upon the most incredible gem: The Pie Hole. The cafe is super cute with the most delicious looking (and tasting) pies! It was hard to choose just one flavour, so we got the apple caramel and key lime pies. I would be remiss in not mentioning the delicious coffee they serve. We sat down at a table with our pie and coffee to most incredible treat in all of Vancouver. My friend had the key lime pie; it had the most creamy filling and perfectly browned crust. You could taste the fresh limes! I chose the apple caramel pie. The apples were firm and and the caramel not too sweet. We loved the taste of brown sugar sprinkled on top. And the crust... The crust is the best pie crust I've had anywhere. It is golden and flaky and complemented the filling perfectly. The Pie Hole is the best pie shop I've visited! Highly recommend!

Stopped to pick up a steak and stout pie for dinner and a few blueberry tarts as a thank you for friends i was staying with. Best dinner ever!Staff are wonderful, polite and ever so helpful in assisting in the selection process. Will be back again and again!
