We bought many items here, the best being the piroshkis and blintz. Most of the sweets we tried were a little on the dry side. The poppy seed bread is a winner. Apricot cookie was also good.
Best Georgian food, hands down. Nearly every time we visit SF we stop here.
Hearty lunch and dinner foods, as well as sweets.
The shuba is excellent.
You can buy full size cakes for parties.
Create, authentic Russian and eastern European baked goods. Could not ask for better food at reasonable prices. A real asset to San Francisco!
The beef and cheese piroshki was recommended and did not disappoint. Delicious and hearty and a bargain at $3.55 each as of Dec. 2023. In the heart of the Richmond district with lots of other fun eateries and shops.
A sign on the door indicates no dogs, but the staff person behind the counter let me bring them in (2 very small dogs on leashes of course).

Nice pastries and soups, with clearly labeled prices. Highly recommend the piroshkis.
When you enter this bakery, you'll see a variety of delicious foods in the glass cases. They have soups, including borscht, in big containers that you can buy for around $7. Their piroshkis are under $4 and are pretty big. I recommend getting a beef and cheese piroshki if they're available. In my experience, they run out of them in the morning or early afternoon. Also, the cheese piroshkis aren't as good as the other varieties. They don't skimp on the fillings, so you get your money's worth. Their pastries look good, but I've seen nicer pastries around the city for similar prices, around $5. They are beautiful, but they aren't actually that intricate. Still, if I wanted a pastry and I saw theirs, I would definitely buy one.
Prices have definitely gone up, but the foods are just as good. You can get a cake here for a similar price as from a grocery store, but this is an actual bakery. There is a restroom for customers. If you would like a drink, they have fresh coffee, bagged tea that can be brewed, and bottle drinks in a refrigerator.
Overall, I recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for some Russian or Georgian foods. Everything tastes good and doesn't cost as much as some other places. I appreciate that the prices are very clearly labeled. There is some seating available, but they put the chairs up before closing time.
Comrade, do you want piroshki?
OH DO I EVER! Can I have 10? I have enough ration coupons for them.
Comrade, did you find parking?
YES! And only 19 blocks away
Comrade, how many car windows did you still have when you got back to car?
4 out of 6! A truly successful San Francisco parking experience!
All jokes aside, if you can get parking, and if you get can get parking where your windows aren't going to get smashed in, you totally need to go.
Do note, they come fresh out of the fryer every 10 to 15 minutes. So maybe just sort of hang around and look like you didn't hear asking to take your order until you see them taking out a new tray.
The Soviet era Decor is amazing.
It looks like one of those fake stores showing the Glorious achievements of socialism in some Soviet era magazine.
Look at ll the canned mackerel!
Sadly, no Eurasian or Mongolian women in babushkas behind the counter anymore. And no, I'm not joking about that.
Never had Russian bread before... I must say. It was so delicious! If you are ever on the Bay area.. Stop by yo pick up some sweet bread to go with your coffee😋
We were thrilled to finally find authentic piroshkis , excellent , so tasty and satisfying!
The prices were amazingly affordable on everything, and we had to try the tempting pastries which were just as authentic and wonderful! (We have been grieving the loss of the famous “House of Piroshki” we grew up with 30-40 Years ago when we came
Into the city from the East bay - and finally found THE PLACE!!)
Please patronize so they never go away…. This was a true gem of a find!
Their piroshkis are gigantic and delicious and can be pretty much a meal by itself! They also have different fillings from cabbage to potato to beef and cheese. I tried the potato one and it was delicious! I also tried their cherry turnover which was also a good sized pastry.
Highly recommend and I would definitely try even more pastries the next time I’m around the neighborhood.
This is the place where delicious chebureki are sold. It is a deep fried dumpling that is very popular in Eastern European countries as an appetizer. This meaty turnover with the authentic Russian flavor is a must try dish.
The lady was very kind and helpful, coming around to the counter to my side and pointing out their most popular items based on my preferences. Super tasty chocolate mishka and poppy seed items!
This is an amazing place to get traditional and cheap baked Russian goods. You can tell that the local Slavic people know about this place and come often.
The customer service is very good and the food is also very good. I highly recommend the Napoleon Cake.
If you want to experience some of the Russian cultural food, this is the prime spot to do so.
Just by chance was walking in the neighborhood and saw this Russian pastry shop. Oh my!! Was shocked by all the goodies it had. It was filled with various desserts, breads, soups, filled rolled cabbages, piroshkis, pelmenis and apple strudels. It was like walking into a Russian candy shop. The prices were very reasonable. Plus, they r opened 7 days a week from 7am - 9pm. However, if u come after 5pm, a lot of food may be sold out. . I would definitely come back to get more Russian goodies next time I am in town..
Best piroshki in Little Russia. The range of fillings go from beef & cheese, mushroom & eggs to cabbage, all of them delicious, especially when it's served warm. While a bit heavy on the gut, this is still an ideal destination for trying the comfort foods & baked goods of Russia!
Mouth watering pastries and slices of cakes , sweet little bakery with various goodies and choices of sweets and food.
Small sitting area , very decently priced.
One of my favorite bakeries ever in SF. I often get a piroszhki as a very delicious grab and go meal. Today was my doll's birthday so I got a beso(sp?) for them. Raspberry white chocolate mousse cake shaped like an apple. So very delicious and very cute. So many other beautiful confections you'll have to see for yourself. They are hella rude to you here if you're not Eastern European it's very good. I also love getting the poppy seed roll.
