Sister Pie

Sister Pie is a bright corner bakery in Detroit’s West Village on the east side of town. Each day, we serve pies, cookies, breakfast, and lunch. The menu at Sister Pie is nontraditional in flavor combinations, rustic in execution, and constantly changing to honor the local agriculture of Michigan. We strive to test the limits of our creativity while challenging and pleasing the palates of Sister Pie enthusiasts. We make our pie dough by hand daily and most often communally. We’re a big-hearted bunch and we can’t wait to meet you!

Why Pie?

The upside to pie is two-fold: we get to showcase Michigan’s abundance of farms and local produce (it’s second only to California in agricultural diversity in the country!) and simultaneously we fulfill our growing desire to foster family-style community in the workplace. Pie is for sharing – a delicious way to come together for, truly, any reason at all.

According to the earliest notes written about SP, Lisa dreamt of opening a “future bakery-breakfast and lunch spot-community-focused gathering locale of delicious awesomeness in Detroit.” She was inspired by Tartine and Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, Avalon International Breads in Detroit, Zingerman’s Bakehouse in Ann Arbor, and Bakeri in Brooklyn. She wanted to open a good-food/do-good kind of place that emphasized the importance of happy employees and sustainable food-business practices, and maybe even had an Electro-freeze soft-serve machine (still working on that part).
