Pie in the Sky

“Isn’t it fascinating how a humble pie can become a symbol of a whole city?” This is Pie in the Sky, a hidden gem nestled in the charming town of Olinda, just outside Melbourne. It’s not just a cafe; it’s a celebration of the Australian pie, hand-crafted with love and award-winning ingredients. It’s been operating since 1993, and since then, its reputation has grown, becoming a staple on many a traveler’s itinerary.

Warm colours and comforting decor create a welcoming embrace, perfect for a leisurely lunch with friends or family. And let me tell you, the pies are truly something to behold, with every bite an explosion of flavour. The classic Aussie meat pie is a crowd-pleaser, but don’t miss out on the gourmet pies, like the Beef Guinness or the Tandoori Chicken & Spice. Here, you’ll find a menu filled with delightful options, including classic Aussie meat pies, light snacks, main meals, and oh-so-tempting desserts. If you’re after something lighter, try their famous Devonshire Tea or a toasted fruit loaf. But if you’re craving something sweet, the Mississippi Mud Cake is a must-try. It’s the ultimate indulgence, with a rich, fudgy texture that melts in your mouth. And for those with dietary restrictions, there’s something for everyone. They have a selection of gluten-free cakes, including the Sticky Date Pudding, which is both delicious and satisfying. So, come and experience the magic of Pie in the Sky.
