Best lists of anything are always up for debate. But what isn't debatable is just how good Sister Pie is.
Thrillist names Sister Pie -- 8066 Kercheval in Detroit -- as one of the 21 Best Bakeries in America:
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.
What the national site calls "this newcomer" opened in April 2015.
