Sister Pie Sets Summer Pop-Up Schedule as Lauded Bakery Plots Next Move #DetroitFood

Sales were brisk on Thursday, July 3, in Hamtramck, when Eater stopped by Florian East Lagers & Ales’ to check out Sister Pie’s pop-up. The award-winning bakery’s founder, Lisa Ludwinski, and her crew were at the brewery selling salted maple pies, strawberry and rhubarb pies, and an assortment of Sister Pie’s greatest hits. It was stop No. 2 of Sister Pie’s summer schedule, which runs through early September. This is Ludwinski’s first phase of a planned “summer interlude” for Sister Pie, announced back in May.

Sister Pie popped up at the brewery the day before Sister Pie reopening for breakfast. The bakery will open again for breakfast on Tuesday, July 22, followed by lunchtime service on Friday, July 25. A staggered schedule will continue through early September with four Saturday appearances at Eastern Market mixed in. 

Ludwinski asserts this is no farewell tour. She says some of the online conjecture has amused and frustrated her. One person made a false assumption in asking her how retirement was treating her. The next two months should help shape her plans as she writes what she calls “the final draft” of Sister Pie’s future. Ludwinski is taking her time as the world faces uncertainty through federal tariffs and other variables that impact the cost of running a small business.
