| - For many years, all Wanda's pies were heaven, our favorites were the pecan, the apple, the banana cream and coconut cream. We used to but them from a small shop on Yorkville, near Yonge.
Somewhere along the line, since moving to Kensington Market, I have found a slow and stead decline in the quality, and most important freshness of her pies. I don't know if upscaling for greater distribution or loss of hands on quality control is the reason, but her pies are certainly not near what they used to be. I have had stale blueberry pies, as well as others, that seemed past their due date, I can't even eat her banana or coconut cream pies anymore, I am not a baker, but it's like the have made some substitutions for the fresh cream they used to use in the cream pies (coconut as well). I guess as they they say, things change, but for a time I considered her pies not only the best in the city, but the best I ever ate, alas, no longer.
