Winner of the Tripadvisor Award of Excellence, The Pie Plate Bakery is a "well-known" amongst the locals. Using only in- season fruits, these made from scratch pies and baked goods are always a fresh treat for a newcomer stopping by. Operating for over 12 years, Ruth Ann Schriefer, owner and founder, has been dedicated to using local growers and baking all her treats with traditional mennonite-style baking.

The wrap around porch that hugs the outer parameters of the shop comfortably seats 16, and is festively decorated with white lights and homemade decorations. The inside, that easily seats 30, is a cozy eating area for those grabbing a pastry or one of the lunch options they also offer.
