| - Good things come in small packages, Rustique is no exception to that rule.
Conveniently located with a short walking distance from, St. Henri Metro. Or street parking for those that use a car or bike.
The place is loaded with charm and cuteness, small but comfortable. Mind you, if you care to sit down to sip a coffee, tea, or hot cocoa, keep in mind they only have two tables with two chairs each. Along with a bench. However, space is limited!
Wait! Don't let that turn you off!
Rustique shows nothing but a load of devotion and excellent quality ingredients in each of their pies. Everything is absolutely homemade in their location. Everything is fresh and oh so darn good tasting!
The moment you walk-in, you often get a lovely smell of comforting apples, cinnamon or butter. Sometimes chocolate or lemon.
The variety of pies is outstanding! They do change from season to season, which is something I love! They have a beautifully board with hand drawn pictures of each of their pies along with labels. Everything is beautifully presented.
With so many delicious choices, you don't know what to select. Here's a suggestion. They have mini versions of their most popular flavours such as (Apple, lemon meringue, sour cherry, chocolate ganache and marshmallows. Along with many others to choose from. You pick your own flavours, whether it's a box of 3,6,12 more or less. That's up to you! Which is a great way to get an idea of each of their flavours. Which I assure you, none of them will disappoint you. Believe me!
As for the staff, as always very kind, helpful, and friendly. They add that lovely neighborhood touch to the store each time I walked in. Which is frequently!!
Aside from pies, they make some mean and outstanding marshmallows(Homemade!) along with fantastic granola and many other sweet bites. Their chocolate dipped meringue is just so darn good. Did I mention they use a European dark chocolate for all of their baking.. My favourite!
Rusqtiue truly adds the perfect sweet touch to St. Henri. Go and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
