This small bakery takes its name from a traditional Russian pastries, namely piroshki (diminutive for "pirogi" — not to be confused with their Polish namesake, which is more of a dumpling). With more than 20 different varieties served it can be difficult to choose, but the meat one is a safe bet. Enjoy the flavor of homemade piroshki while strolling around the Pike Public Market.
Cafés
Seattle is home to both Starbucks and Tully's Coffee but these two caffeine-driven powerhouses are not alone in café offerings of the city. Many independent cafés are finding their niche with a wide-variety of coffee roasts and specialty pastries and food items. A short walk in most any direction will bring you quickly to a café to enjoy a unique treat and a cup of Joe. True coffee worshipers should visit the very first Starbucks which opened in 1971 in the Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Because the Market is a historic district with design guidelines, the store retains its original look.
