Amazing! - Edit
We visited twice over the weekend, the cookie sandwiches were so good we ended up buying one of each flavour. We also had the breakfast muffin from the new brunch menu and it was delicious. Can’t recommend this enough.

You HAVE to visit this place! - Edit
Food: delicious, great selection
Read moreDrinks: luscious, creative
Desserts: sumptuous, incredible choice
Service: out of this world
I had the chicken and leek pie, mash, gravy, corn, and mac’n’cheese, toffee hazelnut iced latte, and chose 4 desserts to take away and enjoy over the next few days 😅
In summary I’ll be coming back to Cardiff specifically to eat here!

Difficult to find but worth the walk - Edit
If you are looking for this cafe don’t use the postcode located on safari as it’ll take you to the wrong address. Use google instead.
Read moreIt was so worth the walk though. The tall Cornish dark haired member of staff was so friendly and welcoming. They seemed really passionate about the cafe and its values and offerings. We only sampled the cakes and the drinks, all were delicious. My friend who’s not vegan had the danish pasty and said she couldn’t tell it apart from the dairy alternative. I too a box of cakes home as they were amazing. Next time I go I’ll be buying some of the pies, as they’re all handmade and looked artisan. A great find and highly recommended.
Pros: Quality of the food, Friendliness of staff
Cons: Not being able to find it on safari maps

Delicious pies and sweet treats - Edit
Love this place, the food and the staff. Pies and mash, sweet bakes goods (custard and peach pastry is a dream) as well as breakfasts. There's not that many only vegan places left in Cardiff, Pie Box is a vegan haven.

Best vegan food in Cardiff, highly recommended - Edit
If you like pies and/or baked goods, cannot recommend this place enough.
Read moreI have had several of the pies with the mash/gravy and also their lighter summer sides (e.g. potato salad, slaw), all absolutely delicious. Vegan pastries and cookies are very tasty as well and fantastic value if you get a few, I would recommend the peach and custard pastry and the cinnamon and strawberry/chocolate cookie sandwiches. Always friendly service.

Wish I lived in Cardiff so I could come here everyday - Edit
Love the food, will definitely come back when next in Cardiff! Such a treat to have old favourites that I haven't had since going vegan, like French toast and steak and ale pie

Excellent! - Edit
Homemade vegan pie and mash and gravy, what more could you ask for? Well actually loads; an entirely vegan menu of pies and baked goods. The food is amazing, the price is really reasonable, and the staff are super friendly. If I could give this place 6/5 then I would.

Very friendly staff. Amazing food: pies that that have great savoury flavours. Delightful breakfast options, including vegan twist on full English breakfast and a sweet french toast. Also, a range of sweet treats to die for. Can recommend the cookie cream sandwich!

Amazing spot in Cardiff! Must try! - Edit
Blown away by this place, by non-vegan boyfriend was very impressed too. Very accommodating on a busy day as well for our group. We ordered a selection of pies and a variety of the mash selection (I got the garlic cheesy - amazing!). The gravy was great as well.
Read moreWould love to come back to try the bunch sometime next time I am in Wales.
Fantastic service and the pasties were also amazing!
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Not in Ireland!

Just simply wow. - Edit
We had the breakfast pie and mash, and a macNChez pie with garlic mash.
Read moreBoth pies were simply amazing, pastry was delicious and pie filling was just the right amount along side a superbly made mash but wait… that is not all.
We followed it up with the most delicious stuffed doorstop French toast to share.
We saw it at £12.50 and was a little bit like “hmm will it be worth it” and by George it was worth it.
Highly recommend.
Pros: Pie, Location , Speed of service
