Reviews of Savary Island Pie Company (Catering)

Talid Jalbout

The raspberry butternut tea cake was to die for! Nice and light, full of flavour and just the right size. The raspberry pie and the strawberry rhubarb pie both had a good crust but they were too sweet. Nice small cozy interior, limited seating though. Staff was friendly. It is a busy spot, so be prepared to wait to put your order in. A little on the pricey side.

Best pies and bake goods. I wish they would make more raisin tarts. They always sell out and it frustrating.

Eric Seymour

Always love Savary Island, this time especially was great. They’re totally dialed with their system during covid and we’re fast and super easy. The server helping us was super duper friendly. He even gave us a free cinnamon bun!! I recommend the Tuscan chicken sandwich and of course the cinnamon bun

Leonard Clarke

This is a fabulous bakery. Savoury and sweet. Last week we picked up a carrot cake with decadent cream cheese icing. Also a strawberry rhubarb pie. The crust was perfect. Did you know pie for breakfast is great. We also picked up a frozen tourtiere pie for Christmas morning. Very high marks!

Lori Bamber

The best pie in the lower mainland, and the sandwiches are pretty amazing too. I love the whimsical but pragmatic decor.

Tamara Roberts

Oh, I'm in love with the Italian Bread baked fresh here each day! But you have to be quick or they'll sell out! Another favourite is the scones & muffins...fresh berry flavours and lovely textures.

Meghana Reddy

Stopped by to pick up a cherry pie and carrot cake. Grab that carrot cake if you can, one of the bests I had till now. Pie was ok, bland to my liking. Service can be better, not everyone is aware of what the menu is like!

Onur Kurtiç

Very good food. Both the lentil soup and the beef pie we had was excellent. The place is too cramped though. There was a never ending lineup and people kept bumping to us as we were eating.

Stefania Giobbe

Harmony fest. Worst service ever. Ordered three slices paid 22$. Waited over 35 minutes. No pie and no refund (machines were down). Huge argument with waitstaff. Walked away no pie and no refund. Buyer beware.

David Heinrich

Arguably the best pie place in the GVA. The staff have all been really friendly and they always have a wide selection of pies and other baked goods. They even started making their own ice cream because they got tired of not being able to find options without a bunch of "gums" and other emulsifiers in there. That's dedication to quality in my book.

Christopher Jones

Lovely selection of pre-made treats, that's true. No apparent sense of urgency to make a sandwich within 10 minutes. Same wait for the poor couple in front of me. Not busy at all. Sandwich was pretty good.

Cindy Sinx

well unfortunately due to the current crisis we were not able to walk into the store but friends have been bringing us pies there for a long time and I had a gift card and we went over and got a lemon pie and a brownie the pecan brownie was one of the best I've ever had the pies are always excellent and the parking is free there's no meters in front

Alvin Wong

Good pies and above average baked goods. Coffee and coffee goods are a little inconsistent... Eg come for the baked stuff. Cost is a factor, as pricing is pretty high for the goods offered, but the taste is on point though, something to work out with your wallet.

Sh Agha

Staffa are friendly sama as all Canadians :) carrot cake was so so and coffee was medium quality

Evangeline Dalaya

The pie was delicious but this place is overrated. We also tried a raisin butter tart and it was way too sweet that it was not enjoyable. It's cute that it looks like you've wandered in off the street of Britain into a bakeshop but I found the prices to be a little steep for what you get.

Farid

The owner is a very nice person. Very helpful. The quality of products are excellent.

Ankit Sahu

Liked the food items I ordered. Customer service didn't seem quite friendly. Maybe next time.

C Liew

Best apple pie I’d ever had since moved here in 2012! In general, 99.9% (if not all) desserts, sweet pastry or cakes are over sweetened, at least to my Japanese-type-accustomed-taste! Had given up aft trying 15-30 stores until someone strongly recommended this Co! At N.Van! Really quite some distance from TriCities...so I made a detour aft a Whistler trip; TOTALLY worth it! Bought a frozen apple pie and a fresh slice that my hate-sweet-stuffs husband and I literally ate in 2min! Their steak pie (4”) is also superb! Not as salty as most others! Fifth like the buttermilk berry though. Nvr has I bought $70 worth of pies!! 4* coz the place is extremely busy! Even on a Sunday rainy 5pm, and shop was pack with queue for takeaways! It’ll be my must-detour for all my future N.Van trips!!

Els Kessler

very found of the sandwiches they make here. a bit rich, but delicious

Alexander Schmidt

Terribly overpriced hipster joint, fitting right into the more pretentious scene of Vancouver's "hip-because-expensive" coffee houses. Some of the bread is simple toast bread and sold to you (if you do the math for certain dishes) for up to $5 per slice. That said though, the food is actually extraordinarily delicious! ... just not under these circumstances...

Westcoaster Eliz

Wonderful hot cross buns! Lemon buttermilk pie was superb. And a tortiere. Savary is a favorite of mine...never disappointed. And their display is so "pretty", albeit through the window these days. Still...a go-to during these times...take out and pick up is easy...

Rizwan Somji

Simple, pastries and bread are killer!

L gordon

Three stars for the always friendly staff. Zero for the chalk dry raspberry scone

Michael Beresford

Everything here is really good and well made, but be prepared to open your wallet wide!

Kailyn Macdonald

Food is absolutely delicious. Priced quite high - I can recall when we used to buy the pot pies and they were $26, and they are now $49. I can only assume this is because they use locally sourced items, which I can appreciate. It's definitely only a once every so often treat, but a delicious one.

Sandra B

Peach pie was fresh, well filled, and crust was flakey. Definitely overpriced. Too crowded, so for me, I wouldn’t eat here. But I was able to tie my dog up right at the entrance door; another owner had their dog actually inside the door on the mat. I liked that about the shop. Low key. That’s really nice.

Mehmet Nuri Deveci

They close 15mins early. I am sorry but if you want to leave the place by 7pm then update your closing time as 6:45pm so that we don’t need to run and then see a closed window in the end.

Chanel L

A little disappointed with pre ordering. I ordered in advanced and was told when picking up that they only had part of my order. I order 2 unbaked pies and 1 baked. Only to be told when I arrived that they did not have one of the unbaked pies I ordered. No option for refund. Either I choose something else or that’s it. I don’t personally understand why there’s a order in advance or pre ordering system in place if it doesn’t work. They only give you what’s in stock and that means nothing was prepared in advanced or maybe they sold what I placed an order for (I ordered over 48 hours in advance by the way.) If the pies were good overall, I would rate this much lower. Baked goods are tasty but this made for a bad experience.

Lisa Stewart

Stopped by for some baked goodies for a late breakfast for my girls and I. Lovely selection of treats. I had the blueberry bran muffin…delicious! My girls had a scone each…one cheddar and one blueberry! They said they were delicious. They have a takeout window to adhere with Covid protocol! Fast and efficient! It was a good experience!

Morgan

Been going here forever, and of course the prices have increased— which is understandable. However, if you are going to charge $8.00 for a “half” salad and I can literally see through the salad onto the plate then you’ve really got to reconsider exactly what you’re gouging people for. Also charging $17.50 for a veggie sandwich... yes it is good, but no sandwich is that good.

Farzad Daei

Had a terrible experience here. Multiple other groups that arrived after got the food first and it turned out that they'd served them our food. When the sandwich came almost half an hour after, it was burnt and cold at the same time. They weren't even apologetic. The worst part was the nonchalant staff who couldn't care less when we expressed our unhappiness with their food and service. Also, the place only has 5 tables and everyone had to wait around to catch an emptying table.

Ray Martian

Annie is extremely rude. Didn't enjoy my time here. Would give it 0 stars. Annie should be fired. Pie wasn't even that good. Could've bought better pie from McDonalds. 0/10.

Gabrielle

I thought this was such a cute place the environment is warm and inviting, we ordered sandwiches and at first glance they seem quite pricy but the portion was very big, and it was delicious so to me It was worth the price, brownies were good but I found those overpriced but I expected it location side. Definitely a cute place to visit. The veggie sandwich I highly recommend.

Jo L

Really delicious pies! Great selection. Fresh. Delicious. Friendly staff. From individual sizes to large pies that you can take home! Tried the steak and Guiness pie and it was very tasty. Right amount of spices and flavors! No outside seating though. I had my dog with me so we ordered takeout and ate at a nearby park and it was still delicious! Savory indeed!

Reggie Bennett

Absolutely delicious and such kind staff. Definitely love to eat here, the pies are so worth it.. Had the raspberry this time.

David Manske

I been buying pies there pies for years . I thought $ 28 for a pie was crazy until I brought it home and enjoyed it. Now the pie is $34 it was mushy the filling and the crust . Last time I'm spending that much on a pie from there. Also I find for that type of price the tip option is distasteful. For that price the staff should be paid appropriately with benefits vacations and gold fillings for their teeth

Saeed Sabeti

I personally feel welcome and comfortable when I sit in cafe with oldish wooden tables and chairs, casual-looking reading lamps, and grandma-pie smelling ambiance. This is exactly how you'll feel when you order a cup of chai latte and a slice of blueberry pie (or anything else). Love it! ❤️

Marina Steele

We visited Savary Island Pie Company yesterday after a 10 hour drive and they welcomed us like old friends. The steak pie was moist, perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. The butter tarts were generously portioned and molten inside, the best I have ever had! We sat on their newly commissioned back patio and enjoyed chatting with the staff as they came and went. Our children and dog were most welcome and the owner was so hospitable, generous and friendly! Can’t wait to go back, what a special place!

Gee

Expensive but delicious, large variety of fruit pies and savoury options as well, chicken and steak pies. Lattes, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, full pies to go along with frozen pies and individual pies. Cute shop!

Kaeli Grotz

The pie is good (recommend the lemon buttermilk) and so is the mocha, but the ratio of deliciousness to wait time is not favourable, so I'm likely to go to other pie spots in the lower mainland before returning here. By the time I got to the front of the very long queue, the service was harried but friendly enough.

Kevin Zhao

They stopped selling sandwiches. The pies (blueberry and strawberry rhubarb) are are a disappointment, the filling is mushy and not fruity, tasted like frozen bluebrry paste. The outside is too doughy and doesnt have a crisp/soft crunch and tastes old and not fresh. Ive been coming here for sandwiches since 2010 and this was truly saddening.

Wade

Is above average food inconsistent customer service

Thai Truong

Came in on a rainy Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm. There was a short line up and most of the seats were taken. Luckily we got 3 seats for our group. I ordered the black bean omelette with rye/raison bread, broccoli and potato soup, and almond mocha. I'm the typical meat eater, but i found the omelette quite savory and healthy. The salsa added a nice tangy taste to the omelette and the strawberry jam on the bread was refreshing. The soup was hearty and stays warm for long. There was still a short line throughout the afternoon. Service is with a smile but food coming out may take awhile since it's really busy. I believe the delay was about 20 minutes.

Todd S

Love this place! The breakfast sandwich is pretty much perfect. They bake their own bread too!

Tony Neumeyer

No half loaves of bread anymore? What's with the window serving? Totally silly. Time to get back to normal.

Perry

I only come here for the food. Two of the other staff are very rude and unpleasant. I dred visiting this place because of these two ladies. The younger staff are so nice and have great customer service. I’ve been told the ovens were off around 3pm too. I’m giving 1 star because of the good. Might stop visiting because of these ladies.

aloha “eclecticseeker” ohana

I assume you pay your staff very well which is commendable. There is no other reason why any pie should cost in the neighborhood of 40-50 dollars.

D C

Busy place (went on a weekend brunch time), so both the ordering line and service was slow. Thought the cashier was a bit standoffish, not even a greeting, please wait etc. (maybe cause they are busy?). Pie took a while to be served. It was good but not the "absolute best ever ." Small portion for the pricing, so good to try, but not sure I will be back.

Spencer Evanshen

I liked to come here for the sandwiches but I haven't been able to get one in two years because they have been "suspended" for one reason or another every time I come. The latest reason is because of the holidays. Leaving a low review because after two years savory should adjust to the new normal and sell sandwiches again or just remove them from the menu permanently instead of randomly pulling them from the menu for months at a time. We have enough random restrictions place on us these days all I want is some consistency with my sandwiches lol.

Jes Vid

Good baked goods, delicious bread, beware the prices. I used to enjoy popping in here occasionally but I have truly been priced out now. I didn't seem to get much change out of $5 for a single muffin last time. If you are not price sensitive I thoroughly recommend this bakery. It still draws the faithful and expansion should help the crowded seating situation, but don't go expecting much change out of $20 for a very light lunch.

Orit BC

Stopped there the other day for cookies. The lady dropped the last cookie on the floor so she gave it to someone at the back who just put the same cookie in a different bag. Didn’t even try to hide it. Also their shortbread cookies are stale so asked for my money back. They used to be so good a few years ago but since covid and that take out window the created this place lost me as a customer. Too bad…. Response to owner- you should ask your employee who worked yesterday at around 4PM what she did with the last chocolate caramel cookie that fell on the floor. Do not insinuate that a customer is a liar because it doesn’t look good at your end.

Murray Cbr

The food is wonderful - best pie crust anywhere, and coffee is ok. It is the consistently poor eating environment that makes this one star - every visit, I’ve had to remove the previous patron’s dirty plates and cups, and wipe the table clean myself. The floor is covered in food spills and crumbs. This needs attention, and more staff handling front of house. As others have noted, food orders can be delayed or go missing. After waiting 20 minutes we asked about the slice of pie and got a surly response.

Diane Espiritu

This pie shop is a Gem of a bakery! My favourite is their Raspberry Rhubarb, pick up a warm pie to go or grab a seat in their cozy cafe and have a berry or apple pie a la mode. I have yet to get there early enough to snag a fresh cinnamon bun but their chocolate espresso walnut brownies are divine! The coffee is fresh and delicious, home made soups and breads are hearty if that's what you need before digging into desserts, family friendly and helpful staff!

Laura Wong

the customer service at savary island pie company has been always been fantastic, but at our last visit the general manager truly went above and beyond! overall, an excellent place to stop by for high quality baked goods & coffee.

Kate Stewart

Delicious, all natural homemade icecream - best I've ever had in Canada! (I'm a Kiwi and we are known for our great ice cream :) ). Bought some this eve from the gorgeous pop up on the West Vancouver seawalk. A gorgeous spot to hangout with great views of the city (plus the staff were v patient and friendly). Highly recommend.

Petra Ludde

Their pies are pricey but legendary. I went for an assortment of muffins, cinnamon buns and coffee cake. Soo delicious ????

The Greek

I normally don’t write reviews as I know how hard the industry is. I was encouraged by the Savory staff in this instance. This is not a review about the pie, but their garlic dressing. I have been eating it for 15 years…. Now it has changed to a greasy emulsion that doesn’t even keep well. The taste and texture are completely off. I will go back for pies but until the garlic dressing is switched back I will never buy this dressing again. I hope you take this feedback into consideration. Thanks

Yufei Wang

Yummy pies (ofc), sandwiches, tea, and coffee! A little expensive but the quality is top notch, and is a great treat!

Janet Lee

Had a slice of raspberry rhubarb pie. Good flavours balance of sweet and tart. Slice size is on the small (compared to The Piehole) and $7.50 is pricey. Glad to try once and support a local business, but that will be the only time I buy pie from here.

Mar Clanuzzi

It's sad what's happening to this fine bakery which used to be a West Van institution. We frequented them years ago while the owner was baking her pies in the space across the street, Bean Around the World. We followed her to the new location and enjoyed her soups, the wonderful bread and pies. And the friendly staff. Now, there is one staff member in particular, a young woman, who doesn't seem to care. No smile, and has an attitude. It's an unpleasant start to sitting down to enjoy a coffee and a sandwich. The soup plates have become smaller. A sandwich at $12 is expensive for such a place. I wouldn't mind paying $12 if it arrives hot. The toasted sandwich I ordered the other day was cold. The coffee cups are ridiculously small. Worst of all, there are no napkins. You have to wait for a napkin to be given to you and it's the smallest. Hard to eat a sandwich with mayonnaise and a small napkin. There is cheapness about the place when a restaurant is so tight on a small item like a napkin. Not to mention how tight the seats are close to each other. There are too many other fine places now in West Vancouver so I am not going back here ever to eat on the premises. The bakery is good for take out. Their bread is excellent. Really too bad. I loved this place.

susie Lang

This used to be my most favourite place until Nanna destroyed this company's previous superb service and cleanliness. Nanna has no regard for sanitization and cleanliness. She does not wash her hands and reuses disposables and left overs …

Paul Seung

Great sourdough bread and deserts. Pretty pricey in general, but would come back on occasion.

Sophie

basically , i bought this pie , AS A JOKE. this pie i got (lemon buttermilk with berries) WAS 40$. like i understand,,,, tough times, support local businesses, that’s all well and cool. buying an incredibly expensive dessert now that i think about it is not that funny of a joke but i digress BUT I WAS GOING IN TO TASTE THIS PIE AND THINKING THAT I HAD WASTED MY MONEY BUT NO THIS PIE IS REALLY REALLY YUM LIKE I THINK I MIGHT THINK ABOUT THIS PIE YEARS AFTER ITS INITIAL CONSUMPTION this is literally the perfect pie for me however i will only be giving it four stars for the fact that i am now like 16$ in debt and my bank just called edit: i gave it 5 stars cause i have eaten half the pie

Shaveta Kumar

Had the apple pie, tasted good but would have been better if they warmed it up. However they said the ovens were off at that time and it was around 2 pm. Otherwise it was tasty.

Fair Judge

Pricey, but the vegetarian sandwich is one of the best I've ever had (before realizing I needed a special diet). The bread that they use has a wonderful texture and flavour. Cute and cozy atmosphere. Only wish they had more dairy free and gluten friendly options.

David T

Rating based on absurd prices, not quality of food. Good, not always great, solid food but the prices are insane. $45 for a chicken pot pie?! Save $ and pay "only" $19 for a small one. How about $34.50 for a fruit pie, one that is good but not better than others in the area for 1/3 to 1/2 the price? I think not. Pastries and breads are good and pricey though not as much as the above. Judging by the crowds here west Vancouverites don't care, but I for one refuse to be gouged like this in the future.

Sunny H

Been going here over 20+ years. Just a few years back I began to notice the negative attitude of the workers (especially the owner/manager). They have become incredibly rude and condescending and always rushing customers when they are …

seonki kim

I love the pie and bread here, but the hair from the carrot cake was amazing.

Aubry Stone

Amazing pie and food. Grilled cheese is unreal. Almost always busy for good reason. Beautiful interior, a mix of old chairs and tables all squished together. If you have a certain pie in mind go early as they do sell out.

Darcy

The Italian bread is a must every time we are in town. We always pick up more to take home.

Mike W

Soft blubbery scone, flavourful fluffy chicken pie, sweet hot chocolate and spicy chai latte. What more can you ask for to enjoy a scenic sunny afternoon at this little hiden gem.

Christina Nakhvat

Blacked out and ate the whole pie its that good. But in all seriousness what a great treat that feels home made and like a hug. Do yourself a favour and have their pie with a good hot cup of coffee.

Bill Phillips

Unmatched fresh homemade baking year after year. Only great staff can make that happen!

Ryan V

Love their pies. The quality of their pies are always consistent. Great service in general.

Joann Martin

The lemon buttermilk with berries was great as usual! It's quite sweet, tangy, dense and rich. The flavors go so well together though, and it's incomparable to any pie I've had! Such a decadent pie that most people love once they try it. A small slice goes a long way since it's quite a heavy pie. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the North Shore. Enjoy a slice of pie and wander the beautiful beaches of Ambleside.

Morris Chan

Went 9:30am on Sat, half their menu was not available. Pies aren’t available until 11am. Had a cinnamon bun that tasted old.
