Born out of her parents’ kitchen in Milford late-2012 Lisa Ludwinski has earned national recognition at Sister Pie, the story of hard-work and triumph as “blue collar” as Detroit itself though the corner lot on Kercheval Avenue remains humble even now. Built on loans, grants and friendship, plus a 24-hour dance marathon in 2015, guests entering Sister Pie will quickly note a sizable workspace filled with women, many taking time to greet patrons or offer suggestions of items tucked away on a table behind glass. Willing to take a stance on environmental issues and workers’ rights, a no-tipping policy utilized to assure equality in pay plus biodegradable packaging and composting a priority, choices change daily but always include Cookies such as the Wheat-free Buckwheat Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Golden Raisin and smoky-smooth Peanut Butter Paprika. Not forgetting a “Sandwich Cookie” that looks like two bite-sized Biscuits around Buttercream, a favorite recommended by friends who’ve taken one of Lisa’s baking classes, suffice it to say Sister Pie’s “From Another Galaxy Brownie” lives up to its name while being both gluten-free and vegan while the Strawberry Cornmeal Scone was an edible snapshot of late-Summer. Obviously not forgetting some eponymous slices, two of four available this day, Salted Maple spins Canada’s classic beautifully on an all-Butter Crust while The Banana Pete puts a mountain of Meringue and crumbled Cookies on a Banana Custard base.

Fannie is the absolute sweetest! I called 17 bakeries trying to find someone who would make a shareable dessert that is both vegan and gluten free! I received 16 no’s before Fannie said yes! She went through all her recipes with me to find one that would work for the dietary restrictions I was trying to accommodate and even gave me samples to try to make sure it not only fit the dietary requirements but to make sure it tasted good! I never knew something vegan and gluten free could taste so delicious! Her cheesecake was delicious! Her zucchini bread was just the most perfect dessert for a cup of coffee or tea and the carrot cake was to die for! If you want a baker that will accommodate your dietary needs and taste even better than a “normal” dessert with the best personality, I would definitely call Have Another Slice! I will be ordering from her again! Thank you!

I am gluten-free but not Celiac. They have a few (3-4) pastries that are gluten-free (unsure of the cross contamination status). Most of them were chocolate, which I am also allergic to. So, I wasn't able to get anything to eat. The staff was super nice and I'd love to go again if I lived in Detroit. I had the Genmaicha (green tea with rice toasted into it). It tastes very good, more earthy, and I needed quite a bit of simple syrup. When exiting, I decided to buy the lavender heart meringues because those were also gluten free. They also tasted a bit earthy in addition to the flavoring, but it turns out I don't like meringue anyways so I may be biased. There wasn't a lot of parking in front of the store. About 6-8 parallel parking spots for $1 per hour. Luckily I got a spot, but there weren't many left. There are more spots across the street.

Astoria has delectable pastries and treats that are sure to satisfy most! Gluten-free options are hard to come by, but that is not surprising given they are a pastry shop.

Beautiful spot run by beautiful people! Got the vegetarian/gluten free marshmallow. Would very much recommend coming by to see the art in their gallery and the art that is their baked goods :)
