Detroit Bakery Named Best In America: Thrillist

DETROIT, MI — If you’re looking for a renowned bakery in your own backyard, look no further than the popular Sister Pie in Detroit. The corner bakery with handmade pies just got a mention as being one of Thrillist’s best bakeries in America roundup.

It was the only Michigan spot to make the list.

Here’s what they had to say:

"A pie is only as good as its crust. It’s an old adage that this West Village newcomer takes to heart, and the buttery, flaky crusts here are more than simply a vessel: They’re kind of the star. You could fill them with a bunch of old pennies and still have something delicious.

Luckily, they don’t do that very weird thing. They fill them with salted maple in one standout option on a roster that includes a transcendent honey lemon meringue, sweet beets, and whatever else comes to the chefs’ minds.

Grab some cookies, too -- the fennel-seed snickerdoodle is a beast -- and some meaty hand-pies, the ingredients for which are obsessively sourced from local farms."

Sister Pie is located in Detroit’s West Village neighborhood.
