[For all recipes: Let Dough Defrost in the fridge for 24 hours or on the countertop for 2-4 hours until the dough is soft. Once the dough is soft, you can roll it out to desired thickness using a small rolling pin.]
Mini Cinnamon Rolls:
· Let the dough thaw
· Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until 1/8th inch thick
· Spread melted butter or margarine on the dough
· Sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and brown sugar and roll dough into a tube shape.
· Cut into mini cinnamon rolls – (Pro Tip: One dough ball will make 1-3 mini cinnamon rolls)
· Put on a small, greased baking sheet
· Bake at 325F for 8-12 minutes. (Pro Tip: Time and temperature may vary depending on the oven.)
How We Roll: Our mini cinnamon rolls are outstanding on their own, but variety is the spice of life. To change it up, add nuts, raisins, cream cheese, bacon, apples, or chocolate chips for a fun twist on this classic.
Breakfast Bombs:
· Let the dough thaw
· Use a rolling pin to roll ¼ inch thick
· Add pre-cooked toppings like scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausage, turkey bacon, zucchini, mushrooms, or cheese.
· Pull the edges of dough to the center – top with butter or margarine
· Placed on a greased baking sheet.
· Bake 325-350 F for 10-12 minutes until the desired doneness. (Pro Tip: Time and temperature may vary depending on the oven.)
Pro TIP: Prepare items like meat & cheese ahead of time and store them separately. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; leave room for air to circulate and for breakfast bombs to expand.
Personal Pizza:
Let the dough thaw
Use a rolling pin to roll until ¼ inch thick.
Top with pizza sauce, cheese, and whatever topping you would like.
Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake 325-350 F for 10-12 minutes until the desired doneness. (Pro Tip: Time and temperature may vary depending on the oven.)

World Vegetarian Day
Did you know that approximately 10% of the world’s population is vegetarian?
October 1st is World Vegetarian Day. This special day promotes vegetarianism’s joy, compassion, and life-enhancing possibilities.
So what are the benefits of being a vegetarian? For one, you get to eat delicious food like Piroshky Piroshky!
Our bakery is famous for its meatless pies, and they’re worth celebrating on World Vegetarian Day. But that’s not all – being a vegetarian can also be good for your health!
Studies have shown that vegetarians tend to have lower rates of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. So if you’re looking for a reason to try a meat-free diet, October 1 is the perfect day to start!
Pierogi Day!
October 8th is World Pierogi Day! It’s not like we need a special day to enjoy these undeniably delicious dumplings, but it doesn’t hurt. 🙂
The Russian word pirogi and the Polish word pierogi are homonyms. Despite the phonetic similarity, the words describe different types of cuisine: pirogi can be baked or fried pie, while pierogi are boiled stuffed dumplings.
The Russian word for dumplings is “pelmeni,” and the Ukrainian word for dumplings is varenyky.
Pierogi are boiled, delicious stuffed dumplings. The semicircular dough is often stuffed with savory fillings before being boiled. After boiling them, the cook will either bake or fry the dumplings in butter to finish cooking them.
However you choose to spell it, these dumplings of unleavened dough bring a delicious and comforting meal to serve at any table. You can also order them on our site.
I don’t live in Seattle but whenever I travel close enough to grab some of their awesome baked goods, you better believe I stop and stock up! I hope this place can keep this place going for another 30+ years. I would be sad not to have their wonderful tasties anymore.”

Labor Day
September 4th is Labor Day, an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements that American workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
The holiday has its roots in the late 19th century when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday so they could be recognized for their many contributions, which helped make this country what it currently stands as today.
While we take time to relax from our hard work, let us all take a moment to remember the workers who helped paved the way for a safe and regulated workplace. Happy Labor Day!

On August 17th, the historic Pike Place Market turns 115 years old. Together, let’s celebrate the Market’s unique characteristics and history!
Pike Place Market is one of Seattle’s most popular tourist destinations and is renowned for its fresh seafood, produce, flowers, and artisan-crafted goods. It also happens to be the location of our flagship Piroshky Piroshky bakery.
On August 17th, the historic Pike Place Market turns 115 years old. Together, let’s celebrate the Market’s unique characteristics and history!
ABOUT PIKE PLACE
On August 17 of this year, Seattle’s Pike Place Market turns 115 years old. In that time, it has grown from just eight farmers independently selling their produce from wagons and carts to a thriving community of over five hundred farmers, craftspeople, buskers, shops, and restaurants. Pike Place Market is now among Seattle’s most popular and recognizable destinations, referred to by many residents as “the soul of Seattle.” In celebration, let’s reflect on the Market’s unique characteristics and history.
BEFORE THE MARKET
Celebrating Pike Place Market begins with recognizing Seattle’s real need for it in 1907. Before then, established local farmers had to use middlemen to distribute their products within the rapidly growing city.
These “commission houses,” many of which were concentrated along Western Avenue, were notoriously deceitful. They would wildly inflate customer prices while aggressively undercutting farmers, cleverly shielding themselves from accountability with elaborate legal fictions. Their dishonesty prompted farmers and customers to petition the Seattle City Council for a change.
Pike Place Market Initiative 1917
That change came in 1907, when Councilman Thomas Revelle introduced an ordinance to establish a farmer’s market along Pike Place, a small street running parallel to Western Avenue just up the hill. It passed, giving farmers the freedom to sell directly to customers; twelve days later, the Pike Place Public Farmer’s Market was officially inaugurated.
“The Market is yours. I dedicate it to you, and may it prove of benefit to you and your children. It is for you to protect, defend, and uphold, and it is for you to see that those who occupy it treat you fairly.”
– Thomas Revell.
EARLY YEARS AND EXPANSION
In the early years, the Seattle ordinance limited Pike Place Market’s hours of operation between 5:00 AM and noon. However, demand for the Market was extraordinary. In 1909, the Athenian (which is a restaurant today) opened as an inn for travelers, making the Market an early destination for tourists.
By 1910, the city doubled the number of vendor stalls and opened the newly constructed “sanitary market,” an area that did not allow horses. Further expansion of buildings and infrastructure would continue until 1922, by which time the Market looked much like it does today.
The Pike Place Market circa 1917
Pike Place Market has faced several close calls with dissolution or destruction throughout its history. Interestingly, the Great Depression was not among them. In fact, the Market expanded during the 1930s, albeit slowly, by opening a dance hall in the Economy Market Building.
The Market was a critical public resource during the worst of the Depression era and into the 1940s, ensuring that residents retained access to affordable goods and produce despite shortages and rationing.
The first serious threat to Pike Place Market came in December of 1941 when a massive fire gutted the sanitary market. Wartime paranoia prompted an arson investigation, but the cause was never determined. Ultimately, the fire caused over one hundred thousand dollars in damages (over two million in today’s dollars).
A second, even greater threat came shortly thereafter, with the internment of Japanese-Americans. At that time, three-quarters of King County’s produce and half of its milk came from Japanese-American farmers, whose presence at the Market was unmistakable.
Internment, and the difficulty Japanese-Americans experienced re-establishing themselves in its aftermath, brought the Market into a deep decline. The composition of its farmers changed permanently.
Blue Bonnet Sue Wagon – 1960’s
It wasn’t until 1963 that Pike Place Market faced a sustained, organized effort to dissolve it entirely. Backed by both the mayor and the city council, several large real estate developers proposed the total demolition of Pike Place Market in favor of the “Pike Plaza” urban renewal project, which would’ve erected seven large towers including a hotel, apartments, office buildings, a hockey arena, and a parking garage.
Fortunately, Seattle architect and civic activist Victor Steinbrueck opposed the project and founded the Friends of the Market organization in 1964. The two sides battled over the fate of the Market until it was finally added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, protecting it from development and ensuring it would remain in public hands.
The Pike Place Cinema – Circa 1970’s
In 1973, Seattle created the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority to run the Market. Over the next decade, all the Market’s historic buildings were restored and renovated using the original plans, blueprints, and appropriate materials.
Pike Place Market announced a 74 million dollar expansion for its centennial anniversary celebration, adding more than 30,000 square feet of space and 47 new stalls for local businesses. The expanded market offers stunning views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains, ensuring Pike Place Market remains the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat for tourists and locals alike.
THE EMERALD CITY’S CROWN JEWEL
Pike Place Market is a collective space where diverse people come together in celebration of food, life, and community.
Since its founding, Pike Place Market has been a cherished local landmark. From the Pike Place Fish Market (where staff famously throw fish from display to the cashier) to its many annual events like the Chowder Cook-Off, the Taste of Pike Place Market, and Sunset Supper, the Market remains a vibrant community center for downtown Seattle.
Housing nearly five-hundred residents between eight different buildings, the Market also ensures Seattle’s artists, craftspeople, seniors, and low-wage workers have a stable, supportive home. Its founding values of quality, creativity, and affordability are alive today.
Pike Place Market is a collective space where diverse people come together in celebration of food, life, and community. With its convenient location, an abundance of amenities, and perhaps a bit of luck, the Market will surely remain a top destination for locals and tourists for another 115 years. It’s more than just a place to buy groceries – the Market is the very soul of Seattle.
It’s more than just a place to buy groceries – the Market is the very soul of Seattle.
PIKE PLACE MARKET FACTS
The daily rent for any stall in 1911 was $0.20 a day.
The oldest business at Pike Place Market is the Virginia Inn, a restaurant on 1st Ave & Virginia St, opening in 1903 and still serving guests today!
Three Girls Bakery was the very first Seattle business to be owned solely by women. It opened in 1912.
The iconic neon sign and clock were installed in 1937.
Over a dozen languages are spoken and written at the market, including Spanish, Chinese, Hmong, Vietnamese, Hindi, Tagalog, Turkish, Russian, German, Japanese, French, and Arabic.
The Market Theater, Bead Zone, and Kells Irish Restaurant are among the locations in the market with a long history of hauntings.
Victor Steinbrueck was the individual who helped prevent the Markets’ destruction in 1971 and is also one of the three architects that designed the Space Needle. There is also the Victor Steinbrueck Park adjacent to the market.
The Gum Wall is a 15 feet brick wall covered in used chewing gum since 1993. In November 2015, the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority decided to clean the wall; it took 130 hours to complete, with over 2,350 pounds (1,070 kg) of gum removed and disposed of. Within 24 hours of completion, people started placing gum on the wall again.
There are 13 locations throughout the Market where performers can entertain Market shoppers for an hour at a time. Painted musical notes mark the sidewalks where they stand, and the number painted on the note corresponds to the number of performers that can play there at one time.

But it’s a very efficient operation, so the line moves quickly. Look at the posted menus while you wait, so you’re ready to order as soon as you get to the counter.

Just thinking about biting into a warm, fresh cookie can bring a smile to our faces.

“Three words: WORTH THE WAIT. We finally stopped by on our last day in Seattle and were not disappointed. The line for piroshki was very small (1-2 min wait), and they just had a tray of rhubarb piroshki set out. We immediately scarfed down the beef & onion piroshki and a cheddar garlic roll. Both are so yummy, very substantial, and enough to share for lunch. Doubled up on those and then got a few more before heading to the airport: chicken curry, beef & cheese, rhubarb. Needless to say, they traveled well, and we feasted on all the yumminess, and all was well in the world again.”
