| - Pie Cloud is located in the heart of Kensington, right near the trendy coffee shop, The Roasterie. Street parking should be available but it could be hard, depending on the time. I normally park on the side street and walk a bit.
I've been wanting to visit Pie Cloud since I discovered it on my own, walking down the street one time. I attempted to go during a long weekend but they were closed :( so when my gf asked where I wanted to eat I said, "PIE CLOUD". She was quite hesitant because she thought it was just a dessert place but I told her that we could have dinner there as well. She was still hesitant....until she got to Pie Cloud before me and looked at the menu - "Yup, this place looks good, we're staying" aaaaannnd that's all she wrote.
But really, when I entered Pie Cloud for the first time I was too excited "SEEEEE!!! I knew you would want to try, SEEEE :P!" The place is soooo cute with the color mint blue scattered throughout the restaurant. The lady at the front was super friendly and there is a pie display near the entrance so you can gaze at that for a while. We were all standing at the bar, too excited to even sit! There were 3 of us on a Wednesday night around 7:15pm and they weren't busy at all so we got to sit anywhere. I already knew from reading reviews that I wanted either the turkey dinner pie or the mac and cheese but they do offer other menu items aside from sweet and savory pies, like burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and salads. Our waitress was good at giving mouth water descriptions of the pies and that helped with the decision. We all got waters which came in high stem glasses and I decided to go with the turkey dinner pie with fries, Michelle went with the mac and cheese pie with soup and Michaela went with the chicken pot pie with salad. I was going to try and be all healthy and get the salad but when she told me that EVERYTHING is made in house and hand cut, I knew I wanted to try the fries.
When our pies arrived, we were pretty stoked. I thought the pies were going to be smaller than they actually were so that was a bonus. I had a couple fries first and I knew it was all going to be good. The fries are clearly hand cut and they had a nice light crisp. The gravy actually came with the pie but I dipped my fries in and was delicious!!! Not overly salty like the average gravy but peppery and tasty!! I was impressed. Now to the turkey pie...O.M.G., to be honest I didn't have super high expectations with this place but man, my turkey dinner pie was AMAZING. The crust is made out of stuffing, there are nice chunks of carrot, celery, onions and of course turkey. The turkey was really moist and the mashed potatoes on top were scrumptious. It came with a side of cranberry relish and more gravy. Of course you need a little bit of everything to get the full turkey dinner experience and it's really heavenly. I love cranberry sauce with turkey so it was unreal, I can really taste the sage spice too! I think there was a moment I closed my eyes and thought it was Thanksgiving or something but nope, it's only September! Michelle thought the mac and cheese pie was good and thought the lattice bacon was neat but overall, nothing to rave about, she mentioned the soup was good as well but salty. Michaela enjoyed her chicken pot pie but didn't finish it so she packed the remaining's up. They each had a bite of my turkey dinner pie and reallllly liked it and said they would get it next time.
Being at Pie Cloud, I HAD to get a sweet pie to go. I saw many posts of the mermaid pie and was really craving a pecan pie so I was indecisive. Our waitress told me about the mermaid pie which was orange with blue curacao that gave it a zing, I don't love orange so I didn't go with that. I went to peek at the display to help with my decision and the pecan pie wasn't shouting out to me so I went on a tangent and decided to get a slice of lemon meringue (I had it when I got home and it was just as she told me. Super light and airy, nice lemon layer with the perfect tartness, sweet sweet pie and the fluffy meringue to finish, YUM).
Overall, my first visit to Pie Cloud won't be my last. Service was attentive and extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the food was really good AND prices are reasonable!! It's the perfect place for a night out with the girls to eat or if you just want a glass of wine with dessert and chat or date night with that special someone!
Ohh, I was told that they have a feature pie once in a while that is not listed on the menu but Facebook or Instagram is the way to keep up to date with Pie Cloud! Next time I want to try the sweet addiction pie and everything else ;)
*daydreaming*....I'm on Cloud Pie...
