"This must be where pies go when they die."

If you're planning a trip to Pender Island, may I suggest you begin by having breakfast at the Pender Island Bakery Cafe.

Recommended: splitting their huge cinnamon bun. It is sticky, soft, sweet, and delicious. It doesn't even need frosting to complete it.

Then, after you travel about, checking out the short hikes and beaches the island has to offer, hop on back to the bakery for a four berry rhubarb pie to take home. I'm considering going back to Pender just for the pie.

The pie goes great with good company and homemade whipped cream.

*Note: This may be your route by default since most dinning places on Pender Island are closed on Mondays and/or Tuesdays during the off season.

  1. I only see a quarter of the pie in the picture. If there were two of you, then each of you ate 3/8 of the pie or one of you has berry stains all over your guilty face. I am beginning to understand the concept of "all in."

  2. We had a little help. We also ate a good portion of that pie. Everyone had guilty berry stains on their faces. Yes, "all in" is a philosophy for a good life.

  3. Tucker is glad everyone was "all in" on the pie.

  4. Hmmm, this reminds me of watching food shows on TV where your mouth starts to water and you have to use the back of your hand to wipe the drool off your mouth. Does this come any where close to describing the taste of the bun and pie?

  5. Old Diver, you made it sound more delicious than the picture, and you haven't even tried the cinnamon bun!
