The Pie Plate, Virgil Ontario

The Pie Plate Bakery & Cafe in Virgil looks cute from the outside. Inside is a different story. Forget "shabby chic" this is just plain shabby! The couch is threadbare and looks like it has survived from 1953. Loose threads were hanging from the cushions.

Everything had that neglected feel and our table was dirty, with crumbs and other food bits.

I had coffee and a lemon tart. Both were very good although Pie Plate was a bit stingy on the lemon filling. Brian had organic apple juice which he hated - it was full of apple chunks and the colour of (dare I say it?) urine.

I rate Pie Plate as 2 teacups out of 5
