Last weekend I went to a really nice little café called Vi’s for Pies. It’s located at 13408 Stony Plain Road! This little restaurant is great for late night endeavors for those with a sweet tooth or just hunting for a nice hot cup of java. I was having one of those rather annoying nights where friends became enemies and I was itching for something to sooth me. My best friend requested we go for some key lime pie and a coffee, even if it was almost midnight. So, we headed out.
When we got there I was pleasantly surprised that it was comfortable homey. It had nice lighting that was low enough to give it a jazzy feel. Light music played overhead and the smell of sweets was in the air. We ordered out pies and sat near the window. The service was nice and friendly; it was comforting to see smiling faces.
The pie piece I got was huge, much larger than I expected! So you definitely get your money’s worth. I couldn’t even finish the portion I had but it was delicious nonetheless.
So if you’re looking for a late night coffee shop and a hot chocolate this is definitely the place for you.
I am a huge fan of Vi’s for Pies! It was my sanctuary for unwinding for many years. When I first moved away from home and came to Edmonton, I took a job as a nanny for a family with a newborn. When I found myself overwhelmed and homesick, I would tuck baby into his stroller with his bottle and walk over to Vi’s. The soft music made it very easy for a baby to sleep and the comfort food made it very easy for me to forget my worries!
