Finally, a vegan piroshky!! - Edit
Hadn't heard of the place yet, some friends alerted me to it. A Filipino/piroshky fusion cafe with lots of vegan options?! I was there 10 minutes later getting one of each vegan item to go. Based on reviews in here it sounds like their options are always changing. When I went they had three vegan piroshkies (one was a Seattle Dog, looked more like a bagel dog!), a beautiful vegan ube cookie, and a sign for vegan honey cake but they were all out. Everything was amazing and reheated beautifully. Will be back to try other options!!

Wow - Edit
I’m impressed! There are plenty of vegan savory options here but just as amazing if you’re tired of eating the same dusty ass oat bars or twofer gluten-free/vegan muffin a few cafes have…you can get a yummy dessert here!

so good - Edit
I had this place 2 years ago and I can still taste their tofu sisig, it was so damn good. I've never had tofu that tasted quite that good and it was tucked in such a soft and flaky crust, I think about it often.

Some of the best vegan cake in Seattle - Edit
I was impressed by their vegan options- almost a third to half the case was vegan!
Read moreThe first time I went I tried their rosemary and potato pinoyshki and it was very delicious, and pretty filling. My husband got the elote and while it was less filling it was very flavorful and delicious! The perfect balance of spicy and cheesy.
We also got this vegan mango pastry that was shaped like a fried egg- it was so cute! And I loved how fresh and tangy it was
We also got their vegan honey cake- which was absolutely incredible. There were layers and it was so tender!
We went back today and I got their vegan brunch pinokshi and it was stellar! More veggies inside than I expected, but I can’t get over the flavor of the pastry- so good!
My husband got the vegan cinnamon roll and it was very delicious.
Pros: Incredible vegan desserts , Tasty vegan pinoyski pastry’s, Vegan milks and lots of flavors for lates
Cons: Parking can be tricky, Not fully vegan

Nice to see vegan options - Edit
We tried the vegan Laing and vegan Seattle dog. I’ve never had a piroshky before so I’m not sure how these stack up, but the dough was unexpectedly sweet for a savory pastry. I famously hate sweets and this was no exception. The filling of the Laing was decent but the sweet bread means I will not try these again. The vegan Seattle dog was just ok (the Chao cheese is a good choice) but it didn’t have any jalapeños so it was a bit bland. My partner tried a Ube cookie and said it didn’t have much flavor except for being sweet. Not sure we will ever come back here, but it’s nice that they have so many vegan options. If you like sweets then this place might be for you.

Nice variety of options. Slightly high prices. - Edit
Title more or less says it all. I enjoyed my piroshki, but it was pretty expensive. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

I think the vegan piroshkies here are not only a great value but also exceptionally delicious, particularly with the loyalty program. For locals, getting 10% back on purchases is a significant benefit.
Read moreThe rewards system, offering complimentary vegan piroshki and coffee, adds to the overall appeal. What truly sets this place apart is their unique and incredibly tasty range of vegan piroshkies, dishes, and desserts. Each vegan item is a culinary delight, and their vegan piroshkies are the only ones in the area that taste this good.
Size-wise, these vegan piroshkies are much larger compared to a $10 burger from nearby restaurants. Considering the generous portions, loyalty rewards, and the exceptional taste of their vegan offerings, this spot isn't just affordable, it's a gastronomic treasure.
It’s definitely a must-visit for anyone in the vicinity, especially for those seeking delicious vegan options!

Great vegan piroshki and cake! - Edit
I got the vegan "beef and cheese" piroshki and the vegan "honey cake", both were fantastic! The people there were very nice and helpful. One of the people at the counter also let me know that they will be adding a vegan breakfast scramble to the menu soon.

Awesome vegan Piroshki - Edit
The beef and cheese vegan piroshki was unbelievable tasty. It’s a huge portion and it tastes so good. My non vegan friend tried mine and said it’s way tastier than the regular beef piroshki. Try it out, it’s worth it!

Lots of options! - Edit
Because we were here on vacation, we splurged and ordered one of everything vegan: potato rosemary, beef/cheeze, tofu, jackfruit BBQ, and the Seattle dog. For dessert we had a piece of sweet honey cake and sticky bun.

Please note, there is another Piroshski bakery in Pike Place. They only have 2-3 vegan options BUT their pastry is way flakier.

Nice! - Edit
Nice and quick option available for lunch time. I ordered the vegan tofu and mushroom and the vegan cream cheese aka seattle dog. I much preferred the seattle dog (not just because I’m a native but because it was delicious. Lol) can’t go wrong stopping in here

Amazing!!! Lots of vegan options - Edit
I went here with my mom. I got the beef and cheese piroshky and my mom got the vegan hot dog. The beef and cheese was absolutely delicious!!! It was one of the most unique and tasty foods I've eaten. I definitely want to eat it again. The hot dog was okay though. We also got some vegan pastries to take home. They had a lot! We got honey cake, a raspberry danish, and a croissant.

So many yummy vegan options - Edit
Delicious vegan piroshki, pirogy, “honey” cake, and pastries. We tried the Seattle dog, beyond beef and chao cheese, tofu sisig, and potato. Be advised that all but the beef and cheese could a little too spicy for some people. The potato is not spicy but peppery.

Wow! - Edit
There are about 4 piroshkis to choose from as of March 2021 (Seattle Dog which is a frank styled piroshki, Beef and cheese which is made with Beyond meat and chao cheese, rosemary and potato, and a Shepherd's pie as a special). Additionally there are a variety of desserts to choose from. I got the sticky buns and sent some in the mail (arrived 2 days later and they were fine and also freeze well according to my friend) to my friend and her husband and my parents and all of us *really* enjoyed the buns. They tasted better than your typical cinnamon bun (to me at least). I also got a beef and cheese piroshki and I also thought it was delicious (although the Beyond meat didn't have any seasonings - or minimal, so you may wanna go with a veggie based piroshki if you're not a fan of the meat taste). The dough had a slight hint of sweetness and the texture was interesting with the crunchy leaf on top. Will visit again and will have to send some more rolls the next time I'm in the area!

Vegan Piroshki - Edit
Excellent Piroshki with at least 4 vegan options. Casual dining-order at counter and served on paper plates. Not the place for a sit down with atmosphere but good on-the-go food!

Excellent Vegan Piroshkis - Edit
This is a wonderful vegan-friendly option downtown. The vegan Piroshkis are awesome. I highly recommend the rosemary & potato one if they have it (might have been a special). The field roast one is also an excellent choice. They also had multiple vegan desserts which were clearly labeled in their bakery area. The restaurant itself is not vegan, serves meat, but I thought they did a really good job on the vegan options and the staff were really nice. I'll mention that it's more "work cafe" style seating and wouldn't be ideal for a quiet conversation but if you want a quick vegan lunch this place is fantastic. Updated note: They have steadily been increasing the number of vegan options and some of the newer ones are wonderful. Rosemary & Potato is still my number one recommendation but if you like spicy food the jalapeno one is also excellent.

So Good! - Edit
I love the vegan options! The Potato Rosemary and nutritional yeast is my favorite. Probably the least fake ingredients, except maybe for the sauerkraut one. But I don't like Kraut, so... The Asada and the Beef and Cheese have great flavor. I'm not a huge fan of the fieldroast dog. A little spicy for me, and not very special. The rest are unique and not something you're going to make at home. Someone there loves vegans, that's for sure!

Best Vegetarian Piroshki In Seattle! - Edit
Piroshki on 3rd, not to be confused with non-vegan Piroshky Piroshky on 3rd Avenue, has an array of about 6 or 7 vegan piroshky, all of which are better than the vegetarian options at Piroshky Piroshky in my opinion, as well as a rotating selection of vegan desserts such as rum cake, sticky buns, and more. All are clearly marked. Many of the Piroshki are delicious, especially the "meat" and "cheese" options -- I would suspect they use Chao or FYH, but my favorite is the Sauerkraut and Potato, which is tart, pickly, and comforting. They also have good coffee with milk alternatives to have alongside your sweets and do wedding cake tastings. For locals, this location is convenient to all of the government buildings. For out-of-towners, Piroshki are a must-try food in Seattle, and this is the only place where you'll get a vegan one. I think it's a nice cafe to sit in for a long while, it's not bougey but no one will bother you if you want to sit and enjoy.

Some better than others - Edit
The vegan options are well labeled. There were about 5 savory options and 2 deserts. They had a carrot cupcake and a rum cake, a little on the pricey side, but it is impossible to find vegan cake so I'll take it. I liked the beef and cheese the best (with ketchup). Not the biggest fan of the other flavors, but wasn't the biggest fan of these when I was pescatarian, either. The beef asado flavor smelled like cat food. $6 for lunch downtown is pretty cheap. Their location in the Columbia tower food court does not carry vegan options.
Read morePros: vegan options, cheap
Cons: flavors are off
MarkRoberts
I agree on the Beef and Cheese! Just a note, the Piroshki place in Columbia tower isn't the same business, as far as I know. 'Piroshki Piroshki' is Columbia tower, 'Piroshki on 3rd', is the one on 3rd with the yummy vegan options :)
