This cozy bakery in Northeast Minneapolis serves all the classics, from French silk to strawberry rhubarb to Michigan sour cherry. The harvest apple pie is a unique take on a fall favorite — it’s made with an apple, raisin, and cranberry filling, and a pecan-brown-sugar-crumble topping. Sarah Jane’s doesn’t sell by the slice, so call the store or go online to order a whole pie ahead.

Choose a hand pie from the Buttered Tin’s bakery case or order ahead for a full-sized, take-home pie. Ten flavors are available, from banana cream and lemon meringue to seasonal favorites like rum pecan and pumpkin.

Rose McGee’s silky Sweet Potato Comfort pies are available through Rush City Bakery. This recipe — laced with nutmeg and cinnamon, sweetened with brown sugar and condensed milk — is hard to beat. Rush City Bakery home delivers, too.

This casual, homey spot in south Minneapolis has a no-frills vibe — but the pies, of course, have plenty of frills, from the French silk’s cream pompadour to the cherry’s woven lattice. Dave also serves breakfast and lunch comfort dishes like omelets, quiche, and chili, which make for great savory complements. Grab a slice or buy one whole.

A modern spot with a little bit of old-fashioned comfort, Honey & Rye bakes an exceptional pie. Order a rich chocolate coconut cream, or choose one of the rotating seasonal flavors, like peach blueberry, banana cream, or brown butter butterscotch meringue. The flaky crust gets a flavor boost from locally produced Hope Creamery butter. Get a slice at the bakery or order a whole pie.

Turtle Bread’s pies run the gamut from strawberry rhubarb to chocolate silk. (The raspberry might be the best.) Calling ahead is the best way to pre-order.

Fruit & Grain pies and pastries stand out for their extra-flaky crust. This may be the only place in the Twin Cities to find handmade pop tarts, which come stuffed with everything from cookie dough to peaches and cream — the hand pies, filled with seasonal vegetables and cheese, are a great savory alternative. Fruit & Grain’s whole fruit pies, made with a thick lattice crust, are flaky, sweet, and deeply satisfying. Note that Fruit & Grain doesn’t sell retail out of its Fulham Street location — only wholesale online and at pop-ups and markets. It also happens to be a dedicated peanut-free and nut-free bakery.

Vikings & Goddesses’ stunning pies change with the season — the bakery works with local farmers to make use of surplus crops and reduce food waste. Try a tart fruit pie like the blueberry crisp, or for something richer, the butterscotch or sweet corn custard. (If the beet pie is on the menu, don’t hesitate.) Vikings & Goddesses doesn’t have a retail space yet — it sells pies whole online.

Upgrade from the traditional American-style pie and try an elegant French tart, a crowning piece for any special occasion. Marc Heu’s chocolate tart is filled with a rich, impeccably smooth ganache and dusted with gold. Another standout is the péché mignon, topped with a mesmerizing swirl of salted caramel cream. Order a whole tart online, or stop by and see what’s available in the pastry case.
