Humble Pie Kitchen

I had my first taste of Humble Pie while walking through the Alderney Market. I could smell pulled pork… and I am addicted to it. They were just closing up shop for the day but everything still looked so fresh. Loved the pulled pork pie. Ready to walk and eat with no fork required. I’m told I can be picky at times, and wasn’t a fan of the steak and cheese (don’t kill me) even though everyone else seems to love it. I’ll be trying others, and more pulled pork for sure.

In fact, yes, I am a fan!
When I heard this place was opening in downtown Dartmouth which, oh, is where I happen to live, I was quite excited. But then I read that they would focus on meat pies. Oh. As a vegetarian, that’s far less appealing. It wasn’t until a friend posted an Instagram of their spinach/​feta «pie» (more of a roll) that I got excited again.
I soon tried it and I was not disappointed. Warm and flaky but still moist and tasty. I’ve been back a few times — both their storefront and their food stand at the Alderney market. When I get one, I do but it’s a fairly popular item.
I do recommend swinging by their storefront (Monday to Friday only) because then you can also pick up a Poppe Shoppe beverage which, for me, paired very well with the spinach/​feta «pie.»
Looking forward to this business growing and expanding.

Just had steak and cheese pie. Oh la la! Sooo yummy. I wish I had gotten here sooner. Donair pie on the menu today can’t wait to try that one later.

For us, a trip to the Farmer’s market — either Dartmouth or Halifax side — is not complete without a Humble Pie. These sumptuous hot packets of pastry, meat and cheese are heaven, hand-​held.

I stopped in here because of the amazing smell as I walked by. I had no idea what to expect but the sign outside promised some amazing fillings that definitely piqued my interest.
Inside we were greeted warmly and when we said we had no idea what we were in for, we were given an energetic walk through of all the pies in stock and a little history of the bakery.
I got the bacon and egg pie, which weighed too much for the size of and I ended up only being able to eat half of (thank god for hungry fiances) My fiancé got the most popular pie — steak and cheese. They were reasonable priced for the size and quality at $ 7 a pie.
I had a bite of his pie and it was easy to see why it was so popular. The steak is perfectly seasoned and the cheese delightfully oozy. (that’s a real word right?)
We were encouraged to come back and tell them what we thought and we will definitely be returning. As my fiancé said «I would leave the house after work just to come here.» As someone who is so exhausted after a long day — this is high praise. We can’t wait to go back and try some other fillings.

I have be waiting for 4 years for a pie to be made in Halifax as good as a ‘Humble Pie’!
After spending a year abroad in Australia and New Zealand, I came home to find the lack of pies in the city a huge disappointment. The pies that were here, were nothing like a New Zealand pie. It’s all in the crust and the gooey filling… and Humble Pie has got it right!
The price is a bit expensive to be buying pies on a regular basis unfortunately… however for a treat once in a while it’s worth it!
Humble Pie… Thank you!
