    Oh hi, perfect vegan YEAST donuts within a 15 drive from my apartment? Dangerous. The cold brew caramel glaze, the Boston cream, and the chocolate glazed were all standouts. I'm hoping for a non-pudding cream-filled, and a jelly-filled, and keeping my eyes peeled for those options.

    Apple fritter, Boston cream, cheesecake brownie, cinnamon sugar donut, coffee cake, all VEGAN!

    Absolutely delicious!! Service was great with a very wide selection of donuts and other baked goods. Fall flavors are available and the coffee is out of sight!! The store had a steady flow of local customers from when I went in to order, showing that it is a crowd favorite for all! I love that this vegan shop does not have to market themselves as fully vegan, and everybody loves it no matter what!

    Chocolate Cake Donut

    This is a pretty solid vegan donut place. It's nothing extraordinary, but I enjoyed my donut. I got the chocolate cake donut and it was pretty good. It did leave a film on the roof of my mouth that I didn't like, but the flavors were good. The place itself is quite cute and clean. It's small, so you definitely need to grab and go, but that worked out okay for me. The staff member was also friendly and quick. I would recommend this place if you're in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Great for any donut-lover, you would never know these were vegan if put in a lineup. Love the variety of flavors and textures! The tahini filling in particular was perfect. I'll be coming back for sure. The price is a bit high considering the donuts are light and not too big. The service on the other hand, was fast and friendly. They even threw in an extra donut since they were closing soon!

    We got there right at the 8am opening time to get a treat for a vegan birthday girl (my sister). I think it was cool that they make a Boston cream, for vegans to get a chance to try that- that's the one she had right away. All the donuts are vegan. It's nice that they give vegans such a big selection, including some flavors that are pretty unique. I tried the Thai tea and the kiwi filled with strawberry jam. The inside is soft and just the texture I like in a yeast donut. The person who helped us said that the blueberry cake donuts were the best he had ever had- my brother said that donut was good but not the best cake donut he has had. I personally prefer yeast donuts- and they have a big selection of them, which is awesome. The one critique I would have is that the frosting is very sweet, which might be overpowering the other flavors. I wasn't able of really distinguishing the Thai tea flavor, which someone else also noted. I definitely recommend the jelly filled! They do something cool where instead of just having a blob of jelly in the middle, which is standard, they fill the entire bottom layer with jelly. It wasn't an artificial overly sweet goop, which some places do, it tasted like a freshly made strawberry jam, and was not too sweet. My family members who tried the apple fritters thought they were great- with chunks of apples that melted in your mouth. They said maybe it didn't need the glaze- the natural sweetness of the apple was enough. They also liked the contrast of textures. The donuts come in pizza boxes. Overall nice experience here!

Getting seated and taking our order were comic (read: frustrating) "Who's on first" ordeal. To make matters worse, my friends ordered guacamole only to lear a few minutes later that they could not serve it because the avocados did not meet their standards. We appreciated their insistence on serving quality ingredients, but were annoyed the waitress was unaware the item was unavailable. The food we managed to have - yucca appetizer, breakfast tacos, big breakfast, and cauliflower tacos were good. In short, the food is good but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. It may be worth the trouble for strictly vegan folx.

At first, I was worried we would only be able to get bar seating since neither of us put in a reservation. Luckily, the wait staff was able to seat us at a booth as long as we finished by 8pm---perfect! We weren't super hungry, but we were able to share one of the appetizers and get dishes for each of us. The appetizer we got was the rutabaga fondue, with pretzel bread and pickled veggies. It was an intriguing dish and the pickled veggies added an interesting tang. For my entree, I got the grilled tofu with kanzuri glaze, okinawa potato, sunchoke miso butter, fancy radishes, and shiso. The presentation was very much on point! For the two of us, our entire meal was around $80. A great experience from start to finish!

The vibe is horror movie chic, if ya know what I mean. We were greeted and seated promptly and immediately checked out the menu to see what we should try.

So, we started with the Mac balls and seitan Korean wings. Our apps arrived and I must admit. I enjoyed the seitan wings more than I did the Mac balls. The Korean BBQ (seitan) wings had an amazing sauce that truly made me forget I was at a vegan restaurant. They were crispy, savory, and just delicious. I decided to go with the gyro and my partner went with the cheese steak for his entree. My gyro was yummy! The impossible beef, lettuce and tomato were reminiscent of a regular gyro. I truly couldn't tell the difference. My partner loved his cheese steak too. Monster vegan is a HIT!! Would we try it again? Absolutely!!

    I appreciate the owner taking the time to respond, but I do want to clarify one point because I…read moredon't think my feedback was interpreted correctly. My concern wasn't that I wanted more buttercream. It was actually the opposite. I felt the square slice had far too much frosting on top and not nearly enough actual cake, which made the ratio feel unbalanced. The response stated that I "didn't enjoy the ratio (more cake and filling, less buttercream)," but that wasn't what I was trying to say at all. I'm disappointed that my feedback seemed to be misunderstood or misrepresented. I completely understand that ingredient costs have increased, and I genuinely respect PS & Co.'s commitment to using high-quality ingredients. My concern wasn't about the price alone, it was about the value and quality of this particular dessert compared to what I've had from them in the past. More broadly, I hope this isn't part of a larger shift away from some of their trademark desserts. I was also disappointed when the chocolate chip muffin was discontinued, as it was one of my favorites. I still think PS & Co. offers some of the best gluten-free and vegan desserts in the city, which is why I'm sharing this feedback. I hope they continue making the desserts that so many people have come to enjoy.

While we didn't sit down for a full meal, the treats we took to go were fabulous. My friend raved that everything was made perfectly and tasted delicious. I tried a bit of everything and you'd have no idea that the items were gluten, sugar and dairy free! The berry muffin was better than "normal" muffins I've had. Everything was so good that after we finished our treats, we went back in for seconds! If you have similar dietary restrictions (or don't) this is a great place to stop with a lovely staff! We will certainly be stopping by again to try the full menu.

"Even if you're not vegan, go," she advised. Making a day-of reservation for 9:15pm on a Saturday in June, I walked in and was seated right away by a kind staff member. Within minutes, my glass of water was full and my equally kind server was walking me through the menu. The menu elevates vegetables and they source their ingredients from 16 farms nearby. (Most are in Pennsylvania.) Not overly hungry, I ordered two mid dishes and a dessert. (The menu is organized by small, mid, large, and dessert.) Each dish was masterfully executed and full of flavor. Suzuki Farm Kyuri Cucumbers were perfect. They come out as four large cucumber halves with all the fixings. Don't be shy. It's easier to eat them with your fingers per recommended by my server. The next dish was the Urban Roots Farm Sugar Snap Peas. The crunch of the peas with the wasabina oil complimented each other well. For desert, I ordered the Bomboloni with pistachio cream. The warm texture of the dough and creaminess of the pistachio cream was divine. I ordered another. It may be my favorite dessert I've ever had at any restaurant anywhere. If you love creative and quality food, go here. You won't regret it!

    My boyfriend and I walked in on a Saturday night for a celebration dinner. They were very busy and…read morethey didn't have any open reservations but when we called and told them we would arrive in 30 mins, they saved two of the bar seats for us. For drinks, we ordered the elderflower shrub and sanguinello to drink. I liked the elderflower shrub since it was sweet and refreshing (slightly carbonated) but the sanguinello tasted bitter and medicinal. Since my bf really didn't like his drink, the server was nice enough to let us change our amaro drink to another elderflower shrub. For food, we ordered sourdough focaccia with tomato xo sauce (similar to chili crisp oil) and the potatoes dish. The sourdough was fluffy and delicious and the xo sauce gave it a nice flavor but it did make the bread greasy. The potatoes dish tasted good because of the creamy sauce that was drizzled on top. We also ordered the kyuri cucumbers and durum ravioli. The kyuri cucumbers had a fermented ramp ranch that gave the cucumbers a nice creaminess and the garnishes (spring onion and giardiniera) gave the cucumbers a nice texture. The durum ravioli had a cheesy taste due to the cultured cashew ricotta but I wasn't a fan. Overall, we would order the potatoes and cucumbers again, maybe we would order the sourdough focaccia (if you don't mind the greasiness), but we wouldn't order the durum ravioli again. For dessert, we ordered the macadamia ice cream with strawberries, shaved ice with rhubarb, and basil. Even though the ice cream was unique, we also wouldn't order it again. The basil flavor was a bit strong and the dessert tasted mostly like macadamia nuts and strawberries rather than ice cream. The ambience was nice though and even though we were not able to get a table, we had a nice view of the chefs' cooking. We would come here again since the menu changes based on what's in season. It was my second time at Pietramala and it was my boyfriend's first time and it won't be our last. :)
