The date

Savary Island Pie Company has anchored a sunny Dundarave corner for over three decades, and the butter smell reaches you before the door does. The pies are the legend, made from scratch on-site, with the lemon cream and cinnamon buns commanding their own devoted followings. Split a slice, grab two coffees, claim a window seat, or carry everything three minutes downhill to the beach.

How to do it

Find Savary Island Pie Company on the corner of Marine Drive and 16th in Dundarave village, you'll smell the butter before you see the sign. The pies are the reason it's been here 30-plus years, so split a slice of the lemon cream or whatever fruit pie is fresh that day, and arrive early because the cinnamon buns are the cult order and they do sell out. Order at the counter, grab a window seat for people-watching, or get it to go. It's open daily 7am to 7pm, so it flexes for any plan. Don't miss walking your coffee three minutes downhill to Dundarave Beach and the pier afterward, it turns a quick bakery stop into a proper seaside stroll.
