Pyshki menu and prices in St. Petersburg: signature teas, coffee, lemonades
At Pyshki iz Detstva, “Pyshki from Childhood”, a pyshka costs 40 ₽. Alongside it you will find specialty coffee, signature teas, lemonades, milkshakes and sets for sharing.
Looking for “St. Petersburg donuts”? The local classic is the pyshka, a hot yeast ring dusted with powdered sugar and one of the must-try things in St. Petersburg. Take one straight from the fryer, add condensed milk or jam and a big cup of signature tea. That is where the menu begins, and it is already reason enough to drop in. After that come coffee, lemonades, milkshakes and a few things you won't find in an ordinary pyshki café.
Everything on this menu at Pyshki iz Detstva® is made right in front of you. The pyshki are cooked on a restored Soviet machine by the counter: the dough dispenser drops a ring of dough into hot oil, and it travels round the carousel, turning golden on both sides. Coffee is made on an espresso machine, and our signature teas and lemonades are mixed with fresh syrups and herbs. Nothing is made in advance and nothing comes out of a packet. It is all fresh and piping hot.
Pyshki and toppings
The star of the show is the pyshka itself. The real thing: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, covered in powdered sugar. It is light rather than heavy, because hot oil seals it in a second and it bakes through like bread. It is delicious on its own, and plenty of people eat it just like that.

Pyshki menu FAQ
How much does a pyshka cost?
A pyshka with powdered sugar costs 40 ₽, the same at all three cafés. Any topping (condensed milk, jam, white chocolate or chocolate sauce) is another 35 ₽. If you are buying for a group, a set is better value: 12 pyshki + 1 free for 480 ₽, or 24 + 2 free for 960 ₽. Prices are a guide and may vary slightly between cafés.
What is the difference between the toppings?
All toppings cost the same, 35 ₽, and differ only in flavour. The condensed milk is the thick kind many Russians remember from childhood. There are four jams made with fresh berries: apricot, cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Chocolate lovers can choose white chocolate or chocolate sauce. The pyshka is tasty without any topping too, so take one to try and save the rest for your next visit.
What should I have with my pyshka?
Hot pyshki go best with our signature teas (220 ₽): lemon-ginger-mint, raspberry-ginger-rosemary or blackcurrant-mint, mixed with fresh herbs right in the cup. On a warm day, try a cold lemonade (320 ₽) made with fresh berries. For coffee lovers, we make espresso, cappuccino, latte and flat white on an espresso machine, just like a specialty coffee shop. And for children, a thick milkshake.
Do you have sets for groups?
Yes. When there are lots of you, or you want to stock up, go for a set and the “bonus” pyshki are on the house: the 12 + 1 set costs 480 ₽ and the 24 + 2 set costs 960 ₽. A mountain of hot pyshki in the middle of the table and a drink for everyone is how most groups do it. For takeaway, we pack pyshki in a branded box for 4, 6, 8 or 15.
The menu reads best with a hot pyshka in your hand. We have three cafés in central St. Petersburg, so pick whichever is handiest and come along. Whether you go to the one by Moskovsky railway station, on Malaya Sadovaya St. or by Sennaya Square, the pyshki are just as fresh.
