Think small; tiny space, small counters and tables with a few chairs. It's very casual in a depanneur kinda way.
So my first suggestion is...maybe go for take out.
Now let's talk PIE. I had a buy 1 get 1 free pie coupon which made my meal more even more affordable. If you want in on this deal without the coupon, follow ta-pies on Facebook or Twitter and they'll let you know when this promotion is happening! I bought the curried sweet potato pie, and my friend had the butter chicken pie. It cost us about $6 (including the coupon), which meant I paid only $3...score!
At first I thought I might need two pies to fill me up, but when the guy at the counter handed my pie over to me, I was happy to see it was a 'good size'. I'm sorry if I can't really give you the exact circumference, but hey, it was the perfect amount to fill my stomach.
I wish my pie was liiiitttle warmer. It wasn't a fantastic pie, but it was tasty. And who can complain for the price?
Ta-pies also sells Australian goods at a high mark-up. I didn't get to try any of the desserts, but the coconut and chocolate dipped sponge cake looked a bit sad (and questionable) sitting in the large glass cookie jar on the counter. Anyone have any thoughts about the date pudding or the doughnut? I hope to try those at some point!
