Is there anything more divine than a freshly baked pie? Whether it’s a tart strawberry-rhubarb cooling on the windowsill or a rich coconut cream twirling in a display case, a great pie packs delight into every bite. It’s a tricky dish to get just right: Crust can be temperamental, and fillings — fluffy meringues, saucy baked fruits, dense creams that hold their shape — require a skilled hand. Happily, there are many spots baking phenomenal pies around Minneapolis and St. Paul. Here’s where to order a dreamy whole pie around the Twin Cities.

Sarah Jane's Bakery

Copy Link

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.

There’s white sugar crystals all over the top crust and gooey blueberries oozing out the sides. A fork has cut into a bite off the tip of the pie slice and it sits at the ready on the side.

Sweet Potato Comfort Pie

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.

Quiet Cat Bakery

Quiet Cat Bakery’s caramel apple pies, laced with nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamon, have a caramel-glazed lattice top. Note that Quiet Cat doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar location — pre-order for pick-up on Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Dave the Pie Guy

Copy Link

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.

Honey & Rye and Bakehouse

Copy Link

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.

Heather’s Pies

Copy Link

Heather’s Pies bakes with fresh organic fruits, high-quality butter, and locally sourced honey. Tart fruit pies like triple berry and peach, decorated with intricate crust cut-outs and lattices, are Heather’s signature item: Order one decorated with a wreath of small flowers, or a message. But don’t miss the decadent hot chocolate marshmallow cream pie, either. (If you lack a sweet tooth, Heather’s also sells savory vegetable tarts). Heather’s doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar shop, so order whole pies ahead online.

Turtle Bread

Copy Link

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

Copy Link

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 Pie Company

Copy Link

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.

Hot Hands Pie & Biscuit

Copy Link

This St. Paul spot serves everything from seasonal favorites to Nutella and pecan chess. Hot Hands’ infamous banana cream is piled high with artfully mounded whipped cream, though don’t overlook the savory choices, like the buffalo chicken pot pie. Stop in the restaurant for a slice or order one whole online — the Thanksgiving menu offers pumpkin, sweet potato, toasted vanilla, and a few others.

Marc Heu Patisserie Paris

Copy Link

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.
