Grand Traverse Pie Co.

"Cherry pie is a tart sweetie and the true taste of Michigan."
Michael Stern






"Grand Traverse Apple Pie: it's the Platonic ideal!"
Michael Stern



"Behind the counter, racks hold oven-hot pies cooling and wafting their come-hither aromas into the air."
Michael Stern



"Seats inside are limited to a few casual tables, as in a coffee shop. These comfortable places to sit, good coffee and extraordinary pie add up to a virtually perfect eating experience, humble though it may be."
Michael Stern



"Everyone who walks into Grand Traverse Pie Co. becomes a pie judge, like at the state fair. The day's beauteous selection is set on display for comparison and contrast in such qualities as texture, delicacy, aroma, and eye appeal."
Michael Stern



"Front Street is a well-traveled thoroughfare in Traverse City. You often see drivers tap their brake lights and slow when they pass, apparently to have a view of which of the pie repertoire are in the window and for sale this day."
