Considering that there aren't many dessert pie-focused stores in Singapore, it's great to see that they have been around for years (though I miss their spacious Jalan Besar outlet with the fun cabin-like interior and decor), presenting us with a sweet, homely alternative to cakes and ice-cream. Flavours have definitely changed up over the years (or maybe I've just been MIA from their stuff for way too long) with classics having been retained after all these years!

The Maple Latte Pie ($7.50) was something new to me, and having just come back from the stereotypically presumed land of maple syrup not too long ago, I was definitely drawn to this quite instantly. The creme is more of a coffee base with distinguishable traces of maple, and nuts, for a balanced bittersweet flavour and the cake (?) layer is pretty interesting and unique to the dessert. The cookie bits are added upon order just to make the pie a little prettier than already is. 🥰

One thing that has caught my attention though is the drastic decrease in their base thickness; it's pretty thin to the point where - especially with this one - I feel like there's no pie base at all. I did experience this the last time I was at their Upper Thomson branch, but simply don't recall it being like this couple of years back. The base of a pie is surely essential to the foundation, and overall texture and taste of it so that aspect did disappoint a little. 😧 That said, flavours are still pretty spot on and overall, it's still a place I'd go to when I'm craving for a dessert that simply stands out from the conventional without feeling like an Instagram gimmick. 😌

It's been a good long while since I last had windowsill pies. Decided against my usual order of grasshopper pie and went with the pineapple passionfruit yogurt which really took me by surprise. The filling was so refreshing, slightly tangy and not too sweet. Even the yogurt covered muesli bites on the too were a nice added crunch. A new fave!

The pumpkin pecan was recommended by the lady serving us. This pie was deeper in flavour, rich and almost coffee like. It had a brown sugar base filling, a cinnamony pumpkin purée on top with a layer of crushed pecans in between.

The pineapple passionfruit was definitely my favourite of the two. My only note was that the pastry for both pies were only ok - a bit on the drier side. Otherwise, the fillings were winning.

(S$6 per slice). Available for delivery now are these delicious pies from #WindowsillPies. Their S’mores pie has a very rich chocolate filling and the Toucan pie is well balanced with pineapple and passion fruit. 😋 #sgfoodies #sgfoodie #sgigfoodies #sgigfood #burpple #burpplesg #desserts #dessertssg #WindowSillCafe #WindowSillPiesSG

Wanted to try something new this time, but we visited the shop too late on sat night and there were only limited flavours left. We opted for the honey macademia and s'mores one! The honey macademia was my favourite between the two! The cream at the top reminded me of cedele's carrot cake cream cheese, and tasted like Khong Guan lemon puff to me! The puff pastry this time round was soft and not crispy too (I recalled the last time I had it the pie crust was crispy!). For the smores, the toasted smoked Marshmellow had a funny taste which was like slightly salty to me, with a funny temple incense kinda smell lol. As for the milk chocolate custard and fudge glaze, it was too much chocolate for me (as I'm not really a chocolate fan). Graham crackers were good though!
