Wiseys Pie and Bakehouse

Staff is incredibly friendly and sociable, amazing personality, and looked like she believed in the quality of their food. We had turkey and Brie pie and steak and mushroom.
Coming from a person who never liked the idea of meat and chicken pies, I absolutely loved what we are. This is one of those places where reviews and descriptions can’t fully describe how amazing their food tastes. They also serve pastries, dessert pies, and coffee. It’s like a café with a lot of spunk. Would definitely come back.

Used to be better. Stopped in recently while I was in the neighbourhood to get a pie and some cake — ordered what I thought was a chicken pie, ended up with a steak and ‘mush’ pie. The meat was dry, the pie had for the most part some sort of gelatinous filling, and the pie shell was soggy on the bottom, almost as if underbaked. Obviously, the server couldn’t decipher the pie circles, arrows, and lines they use to identify their pies, so how are the customers supposed to? The cake was dry, too, unfortunately. I didn’t used to mind waiting 10 mins to get served, but this is ridiculous now, especially when they have 4, 5(?) people behind the counter serving two people ahead of me. How difficult can it be to plop a pie on a plate, make a coffee, and get payment? Not going back, not worth the drive.

Never had a pie this good in my life. Got the steak and mushroom large and my girl had a small sized mince meat with potato topping. Absolutely delicious. The steak pieces were nice and thick chunks and when I mean it was fully loaded I mean it was fully loaded.
Also bought two pecan tarts and we both agreed that they were the best pecan tarts we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try the smoked cod and lamb/​sweet potato pies next time. What a great addition to the neighbourhood. Truly 5 star material.

I was not a meat pie person, but I tried their meat pie and I became a fan of it. They have a nice table and seat and you can eat there. It is a nice comfortable place. I liked to eat pie there because the pie is already heated at the best temperature. It is not cheap, but it is big. Take out is also good, but you have to heat it at home and it can be tricky. I am hoping to come back there soon.

Perhaps unbeknownst to most but let me announced now that there is an Aussie and Kiwi (New Zealand) pie showdown in this great city!
Historically speaking it is believed pies were pioneered by the Egyptians but it was the Greeks that took the idea and elevated the pie to new heights by creating the now famous pie pastry. The Romans love it, took the idea with them and started a pie revolution in Europe. Anyhow, history lesson aside… how the heck did pies become so big down south on the other side of the world? I have no idea.
In one corner you have Kanga (Aussie) around Queen W area and then there’s Wiseys; a very formidable and more successful competitor. On the outside both pies almost look indistinguishable but once you bite into it the difference is apparent. Wiseys pies have thick, chewy crust that is still somewhat flaky (barely). The dough is much too chewy for my liking. The filling is where it failed me; absolutely way too runny. I had the butter chicken and most of the filling ended up in the box. Though the flavours were okay (butter chicken was more reminiscent of a Thai curry chicken instead) I find that Kangas’ flavours are better because they are bold.
There is a clear winner here and it’s not Wiseys. I am going to give them a solid 2 stars for the food as they have all the pieces to succeed but refinement is desperately needed. An extra star for the amazing coffee from Pilot roasters! I also love their rustic, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a cozy place to relax and enjoy some amazing coffee sans the pies of course.

Had a steak mushroom pie and chicken curry pie, very delicious, nice place, can’t miss it

This place is great, and the food was «authentic».
Shared a lamb and also steak meat pies. Both were excellent, and very similar to what I used to eat in Australia. The lamb in particular was really good. The price is great too… $ 6 is very reasonable, especially given these are big pies (I had previously eaten at Kanga in downtown, where you pay more for a smaller and inferior pie).
Also tried the Lamington. This again reminded me of Australia. The exception being that it doesn’t have the layer of cream in the middle. Still really good though. My only «complaint» about this is that it’s a little on the big side. It would be nice if they had smaller ones too.
The Flat white was decent. But this is the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I thought it was more a cappuccino than a flat white… ie the milk: coffee ratio was too high. I’ll give it another try though.
Parking is a little bit of a hassle. I got free residential parking, but had to walk about 5min.
Will return!

Love them. There locations is small. But taking a pie home for dinner makes my night!

Heard about this place from a friend of mine; however, it was a bit out of my way. At last I got the chance to step in to Wiseys last week. Just a heads up, parking just infront of the store may be not available always, however just hop into Laird Ave and Park on the side roads (free parking spaces are available). Getting back to the topic, I tried their Steak and Cheese Pie and the Flat white… both were amazing! I am in love with pie!!!
Besides, I must say, the service was absolutely brilliant. The lady taking my order was smiling and explaining me about the foods and different beverages. I will definitely go back to this place again!

Double Shot Flat White pulled by a New Zealand native using Pilot coffee beans with great latte art.
It is hard to believe that Wiseys Pie and Bakehouse would serve such an awesome coffee.
And of course MEAT PIE! Steak with Cheese is not joke as the fillings has 2 layer of steak. All meat, no filler! The crust is so flaky.
Aside from meat pies, the other baked goods looks as good as everything here is baked in house.
Definitely worth stopping by Wisey Pie and Bakehouse when you in the area. I would be back for more pies and of course another Flat White!

I had to stop by this place to make up for the bad breakfast I had this morning. Next to a Starbucks, I encourage all café lovers to try this out.
This place is a perfect little hip café featuring a décor out of a Michaels inspired Pinterest board. No it’s not original in that sense but it knows what it is and does it well. I’m a big fan of their mason water keg because it fits the style and I don’t have to ask for water or refills.
My blue haired server was very bubbly and helpful in my decision making. She actually had been learning from the bakers so she knew about the items. My kind of service. Even gave me the name of the DJ they were playing.
The menu sounds nice, but the visuals are even better. Almost all the items are on display and look delectable. I could come here every week if I lived in the area. Homemade donuts and fresh meat pies — they’ve already won.
I was more than pleased with the sample tray (the most moist and soft lamington ever is created from warm eggs in the mix). A free mini cookie with my flat white was a bonus (free stuff… always works). I enjoyed a breakfast pie and saved it for later.
I could spend all day here… but I have to go.

Wisey’s is a new (ish) addition to the laird and eglinton corner. They serve coffee, treats, morning fair and PIE. So many types of pie. They’re lucky to have such good food/​coffee because there really isn’t much else around to draw you to this neighborhood. They serve pilot coffee, which is great. I’ve been to wisey’s at least 15 times for coffee and I will admit that the first few months were not great but they really seem to have gotten their groove and the last few lattes/​americanos/​flat whites I’ve had, have been great. I’ve tried the lamb and sweet potato, kidney, and chicken and mushroom pie and they were all delicious. I’ve been meaning to try their butter chicken pies but they seem to always be sold out (which says something). It’s a cute spot with a Kiwi theme. The owners/​staff are always nice and there are some unique treats you can’t find anywhere else (must be the Kiwi thing). Definitely worth a visit if you like meat pie, they’re the best I’ve had in a while !

Was meaning to check out this place as I drive by Wisey’s every morning en route to work. I dropped in this morning to try out a pie or two. This place is not too large, but there a few tables so you can dine in. The décor is pretty nice; it looks like you’re in someone’s backyard. If you look around, you’ll find items associated with New Zealand on the walls. In terms of getting here, it is TTC accessible (bus stop right in front); however, you can also drive here and find a lot of free parking on the side streets around Wisey’s. Alright, now on to the food … I picked up three pies (vegetable quiche, butter chicken pie, and steak-​mushroom pie). I managed to have a couple of bites of all three; they were all equally delicious. The crust was flaky and super light; there was a generous portion of filling in each pie. I could eat one whole pie and nothing else as a meal and be quite full. For next time, I’d like to try the chicken Thai pie along with Wisey’s sweets and a coffee. I didn’t know this, but apparently Flat White originates from New Zealand so would like to order it here.
Good for: lunch (meat pies), coffee, dessert

the cinnamon donut is great, mocha is good, green curry pie is a little bit rich and oily, service is friendly!

A work colleague was raving about the meat pies at Wisey’s and promised to bring me one to try. Well, today was the day and wow — the pies are superb. Perfect portion sizes, flaky crust and a decent amount of filling make them a winner in my book!
I had the minced beef pie and there was tons of delicious filling inside. I found the meat to gravy ratio a bit off, however, with a lot more meat than delicious gravy. This is a minor complaint, however.
The pie held it together as I was eating which is a feat in itself, and the pastry was flaky on top. In terms of quality, I think it’s right up there with the best and was very tasty indeed.
I’m told they have other varieties including beef and cheese, chicken satay and some fruit pies. They also have family-​sized pies which would make a great family meal on a cold evening.
Bravo, Wisey’s — I’ll be dropping by soon!

After having some mind blowingly delicious New Zealand pie’s at Ta Pies Montréal, we looked for an equivalent in Toronto and ended up at a newly opened Wiseys. We ordered the mince and cheese (my favourite) and steak and mushroom (his favourite).
While they did not compare to the heaven in pie form we had in Montréal, the crust is fantastic, a touch undercooked on the inside but buttery and delicious nonetheless. I found the steak a bit tough and the cheese a bit lacking and overall there wasn’t sufficient filling for the amount of crust. You definitely need to eat these pies on a plate with a fork and knife as they are flaky and saucy. At this price point ($ 6 with tax) we will be returning for future meat pie fixings, and I would love to try the butter chicken flavour.
The space is beautiful, what a well-​designed café. They have Pilot beans so providing the servers know what they’re doing I’m sure the coffee is great, and they practically give away loafs of bread at $ 2. I took home a sourdough that was delicious. There is also a selection of doughnuts, Chelsea buns, croissants, scones (plus other desserts) and frozen pies to take home and heat up. The servers were over the top bright eyed big smiles friendly-​friendly. Definitely a great addition to the area!

Wiseys is exactly what the Leaside area needed! The meat pies are reasonably priced and are deliciously filling (I bought some for a family brunch and they were a huge hit!). They also have an impressive selection of sweet and savoury baked goods — i., e savoury and blueberry scones are very flavourful and fresh, and the cinnamon donuts are addictive. I also tried a flat white (coffee) for the first time, and I am now a big fan.
A really lovely café with adorable décor and very friendly staff. I always look forward to stopping in.

This is the third meat pie place that I have reviewed, and this one does not disappoint, with some affordable midtown relief for my pie craving.
The strip of stores along Eglinton and Laird are going through a revival, and located next to the Starbucks, you get the requisite hipster vibe when you walk in with a large harvest table with Monocle magazines laying around, and smaller tables nearby.
The owners bake their pies daily, and unlike other places, they focus on walk in and sit down dining rather than selling pies in bulk. This means that they also provide ample seating and answer all your questions with a lovely Kiwi accent. They also offer the full café selection with coffee and pastries, making this a good chill area in an area that’s still dominated by chain restaurants.
The pies are bursting with fillings! My steak pie ($ 6) was stuffed with large chunks of flavourful beef, and seasoned well; good gravy and sticks to the basics, though there are more exotic flavours available. The crust was also very light and easy to eat, making the overall experience filling and satisfying.
I will definitely make this a regular stop the next time I’m looking for good eats midtown.

Big chunks of beef and peppery gravy goodness. Big portion of pie it will easily fill you up and I love that it’s very affordable at $ 6. I’m going back. This is a gem.

Just like in NZ/​Australia.
