I am shocked at their pricing, and the quality is not anywhere close to match it. $60 for a pie, $11.75 for a slice?

An expensive adventure for poor quality I bought a full blueberry pie at this shop for $49. Big mistake. What I should have done was had a slice in the shop first to judge the quality of what I would be buying. We had the pie at supper. The blueberry layer was thick, dense even and tasteless. The crust was dry and hard. Does 'organic' mean tasteless? Sugarless? No blueberry juices? The dryness of the crust makes me think it had been sitting around in their fridge for a while. Threw the remainder out to compost. A fitting end. Not going back. read more

The food here is delicious and the place is very cozy, perfect place to stop and enjoy some chai and pie. Sometimes the service can be a bit so, so not a place to come if you're in a rush. read more

Came here to try to order the matcha latte I had kiddie corner at their cafe, however they do not have it at this location; ended up settling on a wonderfully flavoured vanilla decaf americano Misto at kid's temperature, and they made it PERFECTLY. Service was quick and they were very friendly. Loved that the place was decorated festively with poinsettias and a lit up lamp for the the holiday season! read more

I chose the Pie Shop for a quick but quality lunch with my parents while they were visiting town and I was once again very happy with the food, as were they. I had a slice of Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Quiche and a Chocolate Raspberry Cream Pie, and I had an Iced Mint Green Tea to drink. I liked how the quiche was layered, with caramelized onions on the bottoms, then a creamy egg and goat cheese layer, and a spinach-heavy layer with slices of roasted pepper on top. And the cream pie was very decadent and tasty! I really liked the flavour of the raspberry layer and the chocolate flakes in the chocolate mousse were nice. The tea was very refreshing. But the star off comes from how they messed up every aspect of my order. Before we paid, I changed my drink order from a turmeric latte to the iced tea and was only charged for the ice tea, but they made me the turmeric latte anyway (free stuff is great but not if I don't need or want it). They tried to give me a slice of the wrong pie. Some time after we'd all received our sweet pie slices and my parents had both received their savoury pies, I still hadn't gotten my quiche, so I went to ask about it and they'd forgotten to put it in, so I got it a few minutes later once they'd warmed it up. They dealt with all the mistakes fine, but it was frustrating that it happened with everything I ordered. Also I don't like that the default for hot drinks seems to be that they give you a disposable cup even if you order for here even though they have ceramic mugs available. read more

Solid 3/5 brunch spot. Would not go out of my way to eat here for brunch. The drinks are really well priced at $8-$10 per drink so if you want a brunch drink this is the place for you. The food is tasty with a side of home style potatoes usually and a well dressed salad. A go to brunch spot if you are around the kits area, if you are not dont sweat it you didnt miss something youll regret read more

I love picking up pies here to go to take home. They have both savory and sweet varieties and although it's been about 8 years since I was last here, it still tasted just as good. It was easy to heat up and made for an easy meal. We did find at the end of the mushroom quiche it was a bit salty but otherwise no other real complaints about either of the pies. read more

Okay. I found this pie shop on Yelp before I was heading to the area and I knew I had to visit. Gluten free and vegan pie?! Um, YES!! And I'm happy to say that it lived up to my hopes and dreams. I ordered a "pie and chai" gluten free and vegan combo (just shy of $15). I can't resist a rhyme like that, nor the idea of enjoying a house-made chai with a slice of pie after a morning hike. Mmm! I went with a gf + vegan blackberry apple after a long look at several delicious sounding pie options in the gf + vegan case. For my chai, I ordered it with coconut milk so it would be dairy free. My friend got a house-made chai with standard milk. They brought our orders out to us at our delightful little table. The pie slice was a great size -- large enough to feel like you're getting your money's worth. It looked amazing and came out just warm enough. The chai lattes were both piping hot, so we couldn't drink them for a bit. I didn't get to drink mine until I'd finished my pie. The blackberry apple pie was amaaaaazing! They obviously know their way around gluten free and vegan baking, because it was easily the best gf pie crust I've ever had. The filling was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. So satisfying and delicious! The chai was a bit disappointing for me. I love chai and mine wasn't great. I realized it was because of the coconut milk, though, so I took it to the counter and asked if I could get it in a to go cup with almond milk added to it. The woman behind the counter agreed (even if she was a bit puzzled by my request at first), and once she warmed the almond milk and added it, the chai tasted 1000% better. So note to self and to all -- do NOT get the chai with coconut milk. Go with almond milk or soy if you need it dairy free so you get a tasty homemade chai! Overall, I was super charmed by this little pie shop. If I lived in Vancouver, I'd come work here and have coffee dates here. Well worth a visit! read more

We found this apparently nice pie shop and ordered our favorite - strawberry rhubarb. Unfortunately the pie was barely edible. Tastes like they forgot to add any sugar at all (and we don't like things to be too sweet), the crust tasted undercooked and had a very unpleasant texture. The whole thing was just a sour and bitter mess of mush. Honestly probably the worst pie we have ever tried. We ended up throwing it out after a few bites. Extremely disappointing, especially for the premium price! I hope this is not their standard quality. We won't be returning. read more

Aphrodite's Organic Pie Shop - Strawberry Rhubarb pie - this is as much as we ate before throwing it out. - Gluten-Free Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

EDIT: This establishment will delete bad reviews to cover up their bad business practices. How on the nose.. Passive aggressive staff and overpriced sub par food. The man with glasses and brown hair at the till constantly mix up orders. Tries to call out the kitchen and then aim the blame at us for not getting the order right. And will remind you about it the next time you're in. First bite of the pies will throw all of your hopes out the window! There is absolutely no flavour or love in the rest of that tiny thing you paid premium price for. Same goes with the coffees and chais - Bamboozled! Never again, this place is consistently terrible and disappointing. read more

The BEST gluten free pie and bread I have ever tasted!!! The key lime pie is divine, try it!

If you need a vegan pie this is one good option, but the pies are not great and expensive. The local is classic kits, old shop with eclectic decor. Weird they suggest a tip at check out for online orders when all your doing is picking up a pie. The pies as Save-On-Foods are actually better and substantially less expensive. read more

I live in the neighborhood and am always cheered by the warm glow coming from Aphrodite's--amid the corporatization of every street corner here, it's nice to see local businesses like this keep going. Even though they've got pie in their name, my favorite items have actually been their soups and cookies. As far as pies, I've tried a savory spinach and feta hand pie, and a slice of the lemon meringue. For my taste, the crust is overly thick, and in the case of the savory pie, the feta, or some other flavor element of the filling was overpowering to the point where I struggled to finish it (I'm not a fan of super earthy, grassy cheeses, which feta can sometimes be). However, at under $10, the soup and bread special is a comforting, filling, and budget-friendly option. The gluten free chocolate cookies are also a decadent treat--almost like eating a flourless brownie in cookie form. The extended hours mean you can come here for an evening snack, to do some laptop work, or perhaps read your latest purchase from the adjacent Banyan Books. read more

My favorite place for pies! Great selection and every type I've tried is delicious .

Delicious pies, yummy pastries and muffins and their wonderful restaurant just across the street for breakfast, lunch and dinner whenever we can. The frozen selections at the Pie Shop make home baked goods a regular possibility for my family:) read more

These pies are delicious! The crust is the best crust I've ever tasted. Good coffee and easy to find parking.

I was so craving for dessert on Sat night and took my mom with me for organic dessert. Sounds like much healthier... When we got there, we saw a short line up for table. We went to coffee shop side to order take out instead. It was incredibly disappointing of Aphrodite! I don't think we would go back again after we saw the kitchen and the pies handling and storage at there! Tons of pies stacking up on the rack with no cover! The cakes in the fridge are melting! All the pies are heated up in microwave when it served. I really suspected the ingredients are all in organic?! We got chocolate banana cream and blue berries pie to go! The chocolate banana cream pie was mediocre and the blue berries pie was so soaky (most the berries were tasteless!!) I didn't expect $7.25 & $9.25 a slice of pie was so bad! This place definitely not recommend! read more

I've had Aphrodites in my bookmark for sometime now...after reading rave reviews it was a must try. I was in the area so I tried it. The line for the restaurant was long so I opted for the cafe side. I ordered a regular latte and a blueberry lemon scone. The latte was good, the scone was ok, I didn't taste the lemon and it needed a hint of sweetness, for what I paid it wasn't worth it. I'm all for supporting local and eating organic but for latte and a scone for 8.98! You can find the same thing organic and local for less. I know they are known for baked pies so I might come back and give it another try. read more

Aphrodite's Organic Pie Shop is truly amazing. The service is splendid and the food is as fresh as it gets! It is usually me and my girlfriend's first choice for brunch and we always have a good time. I usually get the Spanish Banks Burrito and it tastes phenomenal every time. The salsa on the side adds a little tangy kick to the cheesy and eggy breakfast burrito. Although sometimes it lacks a little bit of flavour it is absolutely amazing! Go to Aphrodite's Cafe next time you're hungry, you will not be disappointed. read more

Large selection of gluten free(friendly) pies by the slice! It's a bit pricey but very good. I'll try their GF bread and cookies next time. Menu: I had the gluten free blueberry pie. The pie was served warm with an extra side of deliciousness. The blueberries were overflowing and juicy. The crust was crumbly, dense and a tiny bit flakey. It was good...not great but very good. We also had a regular pumpkin pie which good. The GF slice was a bit pricey at $8.95 (tax in) but it was very good quality. Service: Very friendly and polite staff. Venue: The artwork hanging from ceiling was very unusual. Nice cafe feel. The bakery is on one side so everything is fresh! read more

When you FIRST enter the side (South East Corner of intersection) you will think "wow, cute place!" The SECOND thought will be "holy S%$^, this place has expensive slices of pie!"

Even though this place charges a little more than what I'm usually willing to pay for things like pie ($7.50 a slice!) I think it's well worth it - organic and scrumptious all the way! Their 3 course dinners might look expensive when you view them a la carte (the second price listed) but it's only $5-$6 more for a piece of pie and a soup/salad/hummus starter. That's a good deal right there! The eggplant wrapped ricotta with tomato marinara looked kind of like a cannelloni when it arrived with some crisp asparagus and baby carrots and ...my - oh - my what incredible flavours. It was a decent size meal too - I ended up taking a whole piece (there were 3 altogether) home with me. I was a little upset that the dressing was different than the last time I was there on my salad, but loved the new version all the same. For dessert, I had a hard time deciding between the strawberry rhubarb, pumpkin or chocolate pecan pie. Guess what I chose? Chocolate always wins. I had to wrap half of that up too - it made a delish breaky in the morning :) read more

Oh, Aphrodite's, you're so expensive! Luckily I found a 50% off coupon for this place, so I finally went and tried it, after shying away several times once I read the prices on the menu. I figured that it seems so Naam-like I might as well go to The Naam - but of course, Aphrodite's food quality just blows its down-the-street competitor out of the water. We had one of the daily specials, which was a falafel burger. Our server was super knowledgeable about all the food and was more than willing to substitute and adapt things to suit our dietary restrictions. The burger was absolutely great, too, as was the salad dressing. I had no complaints about the entree. Our $10 slice of pie was another matter. It was good, yeah, but it was gluten-free. While I totally appreciate that people who can't eat gluten can order pie here, I found the crust sandy and unenticing. I feel like I spent $10 for some baked fruit, which didn't sit well with me. There wasn't nearly enough of it to justify the price. Still. It's vegan. I'm not used to spending this much money for a casual atmosphere like Aphrodite's. I think the menu prices and the decor/service level were a bit mismatched. But it was an enjoyable experience. If it's in your budget to have a casual meal for $20 a plate plus dessert, I recommend this place! read more

You get what you pay for! Although my Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny cost $17, it was pretty damn good. I really don't have a problem paying a little extra knowing that I am actually supporting LOCAL organic produce and poultry businesses. And all their fish is Ocean Wise, which is easy on the conscience and palate. Sure my Latte was a bit over done, and the pies are pretty pricey, but overall this place is a rare gem in today's big name cookie cutter type restaurant chains. I loved it! read more

We were recommended this as the best pie in Vancouver. Biked a couple miles to check it out. We tried the strawberry rhubarb and took it home for dessert. It was extremely disappointing - not sweet and no detectable berries, it was bland and rhubarby. Maybe we just ordered a clunker - but this place did not live up to our expectations. read more

LOVE this place. The biggest con is the price, which isn't awful (it's high quality) but seems a bit steep. That being said, I LOVE the atmosphere- the twinkling lights and wooden furniture! It's a unique place, really adds to the magic of the street, fits in really well across from the new age bookstore, and puts a smile on my face whenever I walk by. It's a godsend for the gluten free folks. Pie and chai is delightfully delicious. Really, the price is the only thing keeping me from going there all the time. (And even then, I have a friend who goes at least weekly.) If you're wondering what to order: The mac and cheese is very popular! I also quite liked the quesadilla. And the coconut ice cream is delicious. read more

Brunch on a weekend is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE at most places - Aphrodite's especially! After striking out at two Kitsilano joints - we decided to head a little further down to Aphrodites and try our luck. What happened was INCREDIBLE - we were able to stroll right in and grab a table! I ordered the french toast and what I got was SO AWESOME. I had the most delicious meal and on top of that we had an incredible server named Michael. If you're ever at Aphrodite's and you have the opportunity to sit in his section - chat with this lovely guy! He's a super talented photographer and musician....I bought his last CD off the wall, and have been loving it ever since! I went back again yesterday because I was craving pie - got myself a slice of their Raspberry Rhubarb Pie and managed to get all the way home without eating it! What a delight, jammed with delicious filling and baked in a literally PERFECT crust. Way to go Aphrodite's. I love you :) read more

My first time here. I found a random parking spot, and saw a sign for pie. Decided to go in, and voila! Here I am at Aphrodite's. They have a few refrigerators with pie on display; all of them were aesthetically pleasing. I went to the counter and ordered a slice of cherry pie. The presentation was nice- two hearts drawn on the plate with cinnamon. The pie was different than I expected. There was no "filling" or juices of any sort from the inside. Just cherries- which were great, don't get me wrong, but where was the lava? It left me craving just a bit more. read more

So this is where I have been sneaking off to these days... If the word "organic" doesn't mean much to you, then how about "fresh" and phrases like "yummy in my tummy" sound? For a small cafe, Aphrodite's is quite unique on its own -- the setup of the place has two entrances (one for those who want to just order their coffees or pies to-go = east entrance, sit-ins = west entrance). Most of their entrees come with a garden salad with toasted pumpkin seeds and some sort of yummy (but not overpowering) vinaigrette dressing. Some must-trys are: The roma and brie melt -- an open-faced sandwich that is laden on a thick pieces of bread that is soft and moist on the inside with a nice crispy crust. Chilli and cornbread -- the chilli is is good and filling, there's never enough cornbread to dip it all. Chicken and Shitake quesadilla with avocado -- the name says it all, just eat it! Oh, and I might be forgetting something...PIES!!!! Mmmm...pies... A slice of pie with ice-cream is a must! The pies aren't too sweet (like most pies have tendency to be). Every time I get my slice of blueberry pie I cannot help but notice that the slice of pie is bleeding out blueberries -- YUM! Small tip: Once you get addicted to pies, it is definitely much cheaper to buy an entire pie to-go rather than by slice. But as far as I know, whole pies are sold to-go only, though then again, I never tried ordering an entire pie to eat-in. read more

I won't be coming back again after this. read more

Came to this place based on their reputation. The cafe was nicely decorated and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pies were good, decent amount of fruit / filling and definitely would eat it again if you put it in front of me. However, for the price, I'm not sure if I would go back as it was getting up there for a slice of pie and scoop of ice cream. If I lived in the neighbourhood, it would be a good stop once in a while, but I have to drive 30 mins to get here. Overall, solid pies. read more
