Pinoyshki Bakery & Cafe

Anyone visiting Seattle should have heard of Piroshki or Piroshky. I personally had been to Piroshky Piroshky in Pike Places many times in the past before Covid. Lately, I was in the mood to try Russian bakery goods so we visited Piroshki on 3rd on our way to the stadium for the Mariners game. On weekends, the bakery was less crowded so we were able to get bakery goods without any wait. I am sure the bakery would be busier on the weekdays as it is located in the heart of downtown. Piroshki on 3rd offers a good selection of piroshkis, cakes, and cookies. For the piroshkis, they have meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. We ordered two piroshkis - 1. Potato and mushroom and 2. Vegan potato rosemary. Both tasted good with a decent amount of meat and vegetables inside. What I really like about the piroshkis is the bread hard outside but soft inside. But the downside is the price. I think it is a bit pricy because I paid almost $20 for two piroshkis after sales tax. The store inside is pretty clean with many table options. As it is located in downtown, there is no customer parking available. There is a bus stop in front of the store. If you don't want to line up and wait in Pike Place with crowds for Russian bakery goods, Piroshki on 3rd is a good place to grab the Russian bakery goods in downtown.

There's a reason Guy Fieri came to this location for his show Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. This is my second time here and I'm still so thoroughly satisfied with the food, the service and atmosphere. Being treated to this experience was flooring and has etched a memory into my heart. Thank you so much for everything. I recommend: The Cream Cheese and Salmon and Pumpkin Bread Pudding for dessert.

First time tried prioshky, and for me it tastes kind familiar for me. It is really like Chinese style sweet bread with filling. Tastes good but not wow good. Pastries here are interesting, it looks like the pastry chef here tried his best to make French pastry and have some innovative idea on flavors. However, the chef is still a novice and missed many details during the making process. So, it’s good to try the pastries here because they are not pricey and have some out of box flavors. On the other hand, if you have had a lot of French pastries made by a pro, it’s fun to see the difference between a pro and an amateur.

The bread here is just soooo good and hand made in house. It reminded me of bread you get in Europe as far as texture and flavor. Light, flaky, buttery and delicious. You get to pick your filling and they also have soups and lunch specials as well as a rewards program for frequent customers. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They also serve desserts, coffee and breakfast items. Great for sit down or take out with quick service. I tried the smoked salmon and cream cheese prioshki and it was delicious. I noticed they also have vegetarian options too!
