Vegan pies and brownies nearby Cardiff Central - Edit
Close to the Cardiff Central train and bus station (5-7 min. walk).
Read moreLovely athmosphere: natural wood furniture, relaxing, good for meetup in the city. They do cold and hot drinks, too. Their brownies and sweets look and taste great. The pies are their own, homemade. They also deliver via Uber Eats. Dogs are welcome.
I had a chicken and mushroom pie, and it was filling, with lovely hot gooey cheesy mushrooms centre. I also had a brownie with lots of chocolate on it. I felt stuffed!
It's so good to have a plant-based place in the town! #Veganuary

The food is incredible!!! - Edit
I have been to the pie box multiple times now and I think I’ve pretty much tried everything from the menu because I just can’t get enough!
Read moreAmazing portions, great flavour, really cosy atmosphere and staff there are so warm and welcoming.
So glad I found this place as this is now my weekly go to spot, I’m obsessed especially with the French toast and mac & cheese, but everything from there has not disappointed! Wish I could eat there everyday.
Only a short walk from the city centre and great for me as I get to take my little dog in with me too 💜
Already planning my next visit, don’t miss out
Pros: Delicious food, great portions, Amazing baked goods, Cosy & warm inside too
Cons: I don’t live close enough for delivery 😂

Amazing Meals and treats - Edit
I’ve been to the physical cafe now 6 times but I’ve had them at scaredy cats and queer emporium. I go generally each time I am around and they have a great selection of pies as suggested. But also of cookies and pastries that if you’re feeling cheeky there’s an offer when you buy 4 😳. Macaroni is amazing and staff are very pleasant too highly recommended. Due to the size and demand you have to wait about 15/20 mins so bare this in mind if you’re in a rush or order in advance to pick up and take away.
Read morePros: Pies (lots of them) and Mac, Cookies are delicious , Pastries also delicious

Call in every week - Edit
One of the best vegan spots in South Wales. I call by at least once a week either to eat in or take a pie home with me for lunch. From my very limited sampling, the cakes are equally delicious.

incredible - Edit
I went to Cardiff in summer and found out that the pie box wasn't far away from my accomodation. If I lived in Cardiff I'd go all the time!! Staff was welcoming and kind and very attentive to my requests (such as no crispy onions or no bacon). The food was amazing. Everything was so tasty. I had to go back the next day to try more. On Saturday I had the cheesy veggie pie with mash and heavenly gravy. Everything was perfect!! 😍 Later on I tried the peach and custard crown which was so tasty! On Sunday I had the giant breakfast muffin with potatoes. Again, everything was freshly prepared and delicious. In the afternoon I tried a peanut butter and jelly flapjack and it was fantastic. Absolutely loved everything and would recommend it for vegans and non-vegans alike. As an hsp I also liked the fact that the music wasn't too noisy.
Read morePros: central location , nice big cups of tea, Everything tastes beyond amazing.

The best pies - Edit
The pies here are amazing! I loved the chicken and leek pie with the Mac and cheese and corn ribs. It was £3.50 extra for gravy though which I thought was pricey!

Great selection, tiny space - Edit
An impressive and creative range of exclusively vegan savoury and sweet baked goods and the usual selection of hot and cold drinks. My peach crown pastry was delicious and satisfying. I'll be keen to try the savoury pies next time I'm in Cardiff, they look like they'd be comforting in the winter months. It's a shame the space is too small to fit a decent number of tables in.
Read morePros: Great selection, Clearly invested in the food
Cons: Space is a bit small.

We visited twice over the weekend, the cookie sandwiches were so good we ended up buying one of each flavour. We also had the breakfast muffin from the new brunch menu and it was delicious. Can’t recommend this enough.
