    Hidden gem a little outside the old town. Delicious food and drinks. Prices were also good.

    OMG their cakes and pirogi are just next level! They are so delicious! We had the one with cherries and super delicious and extremely fruity. It’s like you have 80% of filling and 20% is the dough. I would recommend it to everyone!

    Recently we had a surprise delivery, Nikolay sent some complimentary pies to our company, for everyone to get together with a cuppa, pie and a chat. Very nice touch, thank you! On several occasions we've ordered various pies from Nikolay and they never disappoint. Highly recommended.

    This place ROCKS big time! Casual atmosphere, perfect location - very close to where we stayed. Big selection of pies, actually biggest that i have ever seen! Mushroom pie is awesome, lemon pie is another piece of awesomness especially when it comes with nice steaming cup of organic tea! Kids loved cherry pies. This place also serves alcohol, thus if you want to warm up in chilly Estonian weather - they got you covered!. Staff is very friendly, speaks english clearly and performes flawlessly. This is our snack place for the next few days. Keep it up Nikolay!

    No comment about their pies. You just really need to come back a few times and try all of them! A very nice place to hang out for breakfast, brunch, or any time during the times. Good vibes, low upbeat music, allowing for chatting around with company, or focusing on some personal work. Atmosphere is relaxing, and the view from the window allows to observe the daily hustle of the passersby. Personnel are friendly, interactive, and helpful. They provide detailed descriptions of the pies and their ingredients, and give recommendations to suit your own taste. The coffee is very good, though you might need more than one cup to enjoy a few of the pies. Overall an superb café!

    This bakery and cafe is amazing, you will find the fresh-baked bread, pies and good coffee. Take away or enjoy here. Moderate prices and relaxed atmosphere. WiFi. Friendly English-speaking staff. And amazing bathroom. There’s no parking.

    Good quality food with reasonable price and beautiful packing for my pies too. Thank you Nicolay. 😘 This is my second time ordered. But my fiance had order from here few times before and he said he cant decide which pie is the best bcos he love them ALL. We had made a list of order yesterday and most of them are so tasty and make our tummy so full just only 1 or 2 pies. Fit chicken - This was in my 1st order and the chicken breast has been cook in a perfect way. Its so tender and juicy. Well done. Omelette with Salmon - Good. The omelette is full of Salmon, Philadelphia and tomatoes. Each bite was so satisfied. Solyanka - Great!! Yummmm. Must order this with a cheese bun. 101%. Pasta Carbonara - Very well done for this pasta too. Lot of bacon and its so cheezy creamy until your last bite. I ordered 2 times already. Salmon spinach and cream cheese - Not bad but the Salmon is abit dry for me. Turkey and Dried plum - its OK. Maybe the Turkey make it taste bit dry. Hmm...this pie is not my favourite. Beef pie - Yes, taste great with mince eggs in there. The beef not too dry and well combination just with the eggs. But, I recommend to eat this pie with some sauce ( homemade mustard /mayo Ranch) Kurnik pie (Chicken pie) - not bad. Very special pie. Potatoes and Mushroom pie -SUPERB. Surprisingly this is my favourite pie after I done all the pie testing. I thought I would love the Salmon pie but..this pie just stole my heart away. Yummy. Sweet pie : I only love 3 sweet pie for now. - Pie with poppy seed and honey - Cherry pie - Christmas pie Pie with Marzipan, Patissiere pie and Strawberry & Curd pie maybe would taste better if I consume in the restaurant. I assume bcos i order it via BOLT FOOD delivery, the packing and time delay has kill the true flavor and texture of the pie. Maybe next time I will try again in the restaurant. Overall..good experienced and will definitely come back for more.

    Homemade pelmeni was so delicious. And don’t forget to try fresh and delicious pies. Salmon & spinach, mushroom & potatoes, vegetables & feta cheese, and as a dessert cherry and curd 👍

    Kiva paikka makeiden ja suolaisten piirakoiden ystäville.

  • 2/5 Vitali N. 6 months ago on Google
    For everyone who love pirogi! Nice place to meet friend and talk while drinking a cup of coffee or tea. Update 10.10.2023. The place became very expensive for no reason. Some dishes from the menu weren't available. I took a cutlet with potatoes. The cutlet was a bit dry but ok'ish, while the potatoes were al dente 🙄. Cappuccino had a taste of cocoa 🤮. The waitress was not friendly at all. Won't go to this place and do not suggest visiting it to anyone unless you want to buy the pirogi to take away and fine with bad service.

  • 5/5 Rolf M. 9 months ago on Google
    Laaja valikoima suolaisia ja makeita piirakoita, ja oli sipulittomia! Myös tavallisia ruokia, iso valikoima teetä. Huomenna uudestaan tänne.

    Amazing pies! 😋

  • 5/5 Tanya H. 6 months ago on Google
    I visited Nikolay years ago and now I've received another opportunity. Well, I'll be looking forward to returning to this cozy and most friendly place. Pies were simply delicious (plenty of alternatives), uncommon hot beverages - really great. Vegetarians will manage just fine. Not to mention that pleasant service and a fluffy cat laying around. Stop by and enjoy your life ☀️ Also i recommend grabbing a pie to go for your friends 😃

    Very nice Café with friendly staff. The pies are delicious. Especially the duck curry one was amazing. The breakfast selection was good. The cappuccino is a bit pricy for 4 Euro. But we enjoyed having breakfast there.

  • 5/5 Vass �. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably my favourite go-to comfort food in Tallinn. Pies are always tasty, quality is always excellent, and prices are among the fairest in the city for pies and pastries. Staff is always kind and helpful, and I'm always sure to pay my respects to Queen Elisaveta 🐈

  • 4/5 Anna-Maria N. 11 months ago on Google
    Went to catch up with a friend. The theme of the place is really fun and enjoyable, but sadly the pie was dry. Still yummy, might try again in the morning when pies are fresh.

  • 5/5 Brian I. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem of Tallinn. The place is nothing fancy and nothing to look at from the outside but the pie is excellent. Couple that with outstanding service, decent coffee and a resident cat in the restaurant and you have an amazing place. Must visit if you are in Tallinn

  • 5/5 Karen B. 1 year ago on Google
    They got the best pie/pirukad I have ever tasted! Many different flavors, both for main dish and dessert. Great options for vegetarians as well. Their smoothies are also really good.

  • 5/5 Triin P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are wondering where to find the best and most delicious pies in Tallinn and probably in Estonia, this is the place to visit.

  • 5/5 Evelyn P. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food!

  • 4/5 Thomas S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide selection of both savory and sweet pies and pastries. The cinnamon and ginger tea was super yummy, with plenty of fresh ginger chopped just before steeping. The gatekeeper cat seemed very friendly although kept its distance.

  • 4/5 Genevieve G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best for the pies mostly, I wish there were some condiments that they could provide (like mustard, ketchup, tobasco etc) as well. There was a friendly cat that I petted once it was awake!

  • 5/5 Peasley C. 1 year ago on Google
    The pies are so delicious and the setting is beautiful with tables next to big glass windows overlooking the sidewalk outside. Clean, and service is fast.

  • 5/5 Koh T. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice pie! I'd like to try all types😋
