A hidden gem! I’ve visited the pie box twice now and only found out about it two weeks ago!! The first time I had the French toast and OMG I have not stopped raving about it, I’m obsessed. The second time I ordered the vegan and fry up, which was also delicious! So full of flavour and really great portions, Sophie the owner is really warm and welcoming as well as the women that work with her. Still yet to try a pie but that will be my next order for sure Also big plus they are dog friendly!!

Vegan food has come a long way in the last few years. A vegan pie might seem ambitious to a carnivore, but to be honest with you, if the gravy is good, it doesn't really matter what's inside. That mash and those crispy onions were really something. Meat lovers try this place. They also do too many tempting cakes, so stop by if you want something sweet!

Everything is vegan but don’t let that put you off. We are not vegan but without any hesitation rate the food as excellent. The pies are wonderful and the sides all fresh and tasty. Follow it up with cakes and pastries to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth and wash it down with really good coffee.

Went into The Pie Box cafe after seeing their sign on riverside and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was perfect and felt so welcoming on such a rainy day. I got a dirty chai and the avocado loaded toast and it was absolutely incredible!! It’s rare you find such a unique amazing vegan cafe and this one ticks all the boxes for me! I will be recommending to everyone I know vegan or not!!

Went on the recommendation of family when we were in Cardiff for the weekend. Ended up having a brunch, then taking home pies and sweet treats for tea, then popping back for breakfast on our way to catch our train. Delicious food, lovely friendly service. Super close to the station so pop in if you can. You won’t regret.

The loveliest vegan pies! Cannot speak highly enough of this place. We've enjoyed their pies for years and were so pleased when they set up this cafe, the brunches and hot drinks are gorgeous too

Went for Avo on toast this time, but will have to try the pies soon. Thick soft toast, plenty of avocado, seasoned well. Gorgeous brownie milkshake. And took some treats to go.
