Mmm, ‘Seattle’s favorite bakery’ is coming to Boise. Order now for local pickup

At this point, there’s little doubt that Boise loves Piroshky Piroshky.

But it’s becoming clear that Piroshky Piroshky has a serious thing for Boise, too.

Making its third trip to the City of Trees in less than nine months, “Seattle’s favorite bakery” (as it likes to call itself) will be back Tuesday, Sept. 17, for a preorder pickup event — this time from 5 to 7 p.m. at the same place: Barbarian Brewing, 114 E. 32nd St., Garden City.

Customers have from now until 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, to order their favorite pies, rolls, cookies and other delicacies at piroshkybakery.com .

Goods will be frozen and shipped from Seattle on an air cargo plane. Piroshky Piroshky team members will distribute them to Idaho customers at the brewery pop-up event.

Piroshky Piroshky’s menu includes temptations such as Smoked Salmon Pâté Piroshky ($8), Chocolate Cream Hazelnut Roll ($6), Cinnamon Cardamom Braid ($6) and the vegan-friendly Veggie Chipotle Piroshky ($7).

A “one-of-a-kind, Eastern European-influenced bakery,” Piroshky Piroshky has run its flagship Pike Place Market location for more than three decades, serving more than 10 million tourists and locals, according to a press release.

In 2021, owner Olga Sagan told the Idaho Statesman that she started doing Washington pop-up events the year before to keep employees working during COVID-19 shutdowns. Selling goods online and expanding the idea to other states, Piroshky Piroshky suddenly had a new revenue stream.

Idaho has been a steady market. Before it made Barbarian Brewing its Idaho home away from home, Piroshky Piroshky handed out orders at Clairvoyant Brewing Company in Boise in fall of 2022.

“Through the years,” the press release says, “our bakery has received recognition far and wide, graced by the spotlight on Anthony Bourdain’s ‘No Reservations’ and the ‘ Zimmern List ’ on the Travel Channel. By recognizing the immigrant journey embedded in our creations, Smithsonian Magazine honored us as one of ‘ The 20 Most Iconic Food Destinations Across America. ’ Each accolade is a testament to the flavors woven into our story’s fabric.”
