This little restaurant is a great little spot to eat vegan pies. I had the Funky Chunky and my wife the EZzy chic' n cheezy. Both pies were flaky and delicious. I added a little chili sauce and along with the mash and peas was a delightful treat. The kitchen and wait staff were attentive and courteous. Highly recommend!! read more

Great spot near Bondi. All the pies were amazing. The Strog was the best, we highly recommend the Strog. We had maybe 5 different pies and a couple dessert options (highly recommend the cookies). Angie was the best. Great ambiance and service. read more

The gluten free Moroccan bean pie was to die for and such a treat when you can't eat gluten! My partner is able to eat gluten and he got the funky mushroom pie which he loved. The crust looked so flakey too. They didn't have any gluten free pies ready but were able to make it in less than 15 minutes. They offer seating outside and also have a freezer section so you can take products home to bake yourself! read more

Funky for sure! Reminds me of Berkeley :) 3 people had pies, all were amazing-- curry, cheesy chicken & the house special. Loved the mushy peas & potatoes, as well. Yummy salad. Teen had an açaí type bowl, gave it a thumbs up. Strawberry milkshake was OK, not great (perhaps overblended- it was thin). Friendly service, though a little slow. Limited seating. A small selection of vegan groceries, too. read more

Funky Pies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bondi Beach, NSW

Savory pie shops are a ubiquitous Australian institution up and down the coast. However, I have not patronized one, as they are not that vegetarian-friendly and seem a tad sketch to me. Enter this all-vegan place, loaded with delicious-sounding options. You're not missing out on anything in these pies; there's plenty of fat and protein to make them a complete and filling meal. They're well worth the price, and the spicy Thai pie I tried was certainly craveably delicious, both in its flaky crust and satisfying filling. You can order mashed potatoes or salad on the side and they have a few other items, but I feel confident in saying that the pies are the main attraction, and they are a winner. Besides the restaurant, they also deliver, even to Brisbane. If they don't get around to expanding up here, I wonder if it might be worth it, as there are no other places like this that I am aware of. read more

Jesus. Amazing! All vegan so you don't have to think about it. Delicious pies with mashed potatoes and peas. Chocolate bars. Milkshakes. Tiny place, though, so only a few can sit here at a time. Excellent! read more

I love a good pie as much as the next person, but I admittedly am as much a pie snob as I am a pizza and coffee snob. If it 'aint primo, I'd rather have nothing. Funky Pies are about as primo as pies get, with the added benefit for a vegetarian who tries to keep as fair trade and eco-friendly as possible (and affordable) of being, you guessed it, vegetarian and "eco-funky" (cute)! And, joy of joys for my regular, hyper-allergic eating partner they make gluten-free versions of these marvellous testaments to pie-dom. Hurrah! I inhaled a Funky Chunky- shitake mushroom pie, yeah that's right! And it was spectacular. Chunk up your funk with the mash, mushy peas n' gravy add-ons. read more

Funky Pies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bondi Beach, NSW

When I think 'vegan', the terms 'delicious', 'awesome' and 'moreish' generally don't spring to mind. Funky Pies might just be able to sway me on that one after a recent taste test of one of their meat, dairy and animal product-free baked meals. This unassuming little shop seems a bit out of place amongst Bondi's trendy cafés and attractive crowd, with just a small door and plain sign advertising its goods. They have a bunch of different savoury pie fillings, like the No Wurry Curry with lentils and chickpeas in a coconut sauce and the Chilli-non-Carne made of mushroom nuggets, kidney beans, bits of green capsicum and spicy tomato salsa. I went for the Funky Chunky. As a total meat lover and having tried vegan (that is, butterless) pastry before and vowed to never do so again - it tasted as close to cardboard as I'll ever get - I approached my pie with great apprehension. What a pleasant surprise it was. The shiitake mushrooms filling had been processed to look like large chunks of beef and, though a little spongy, really did mimic that soft, easy-to-chew texture of slow-cooked meat, while the gravy it was smothered in had a bit of earthy, mushroom flavour but overall carried off a rich, meaty taste. That was topped with a layer of mashed potato, which wasn't as creamy as usual due to the lack of butter but still added a nice contrast to the richness of the 'meat'. The pastry was definitely fattening - indicated by the immense amount of oil that leaked onto my takeaway brown paper bag - but was super flaky and light nonetheless. They also serve fairtrade, organic coffee, serve their products on biodegradable packaging, and have a range of gluten-free pies for flourphobes - an ethical approach that makes everything taste that little bit better. read more

Really delicious vegan pies, I couldn't believe how well they could create a tender meaty taste they way they do. I think someone told me it was pulverised mushrooms? Wherever it was, it was delicious. The only reason for 4/5 stars was the seating. Really cramped space, so you best be ready to get cozy if you're eating in. read more

Yay for Funky Pies. I think it's best if you go during the day for lunch, because at night you'll be left with only a few options and the pies would have been sitting there for a while. Met with chill, friendly service, we had a look to see what was left for the day. On the menu they have a decent variety, all vegan, and I was quite pleased they still had one rustic Bolognese pie left as it was the one I wanted to try. The other one we tried was the chilli non carne (mushroom nuggets, kidney beans & capsicum in a mild chilli tomato salsa). Pies are $6.50 and $12 including a side. They no longer had any mash, peas & gravy left so we went for a salad. As mentioned on the menu, the crust is indeed flaky and delicious. Makes for a premium pie. But the filling is also important, and Funky Pies do not disappoint. Both were super tasty, if I had to pick only one I'd say the chilli non carne was slightly better, but only just. The capsicum and tomato salsa did it for me. As delicious as the crust was, the pies could do with a bit more filling, but this is so minor because the pies were really that good. So good, so worth checking out, and I'm glad to have gotten around to it finally as these guys have been on my list for ages! read more

YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE VEGETARIAN. I lived in Australia for a year, seeing the classic Aussie pie in every restaurant, wishing I could try one as a vegan. Then I found Funky Pies and all of my food dreams came true. I brought my omnivore boyfriend, we ordered two pies (the tuscan mushroom and another which I don't remember the name of), and we sat down. I looked around me imagining that this must be what heaven looks like. Funky Pies offers any type of vegan drink you could want, including kombucha, coconut water, the works. They even sell vegan desserts like ice cream and little ice cream sandwiches and a lot of other things too. When we got our pies, I went crazy with the photography, and then we settled in and ate them. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this was seriously one of the best meals of my life. It was that good. Not only were they insanely delicious, but the whole meal came out to less than $30 for two people. If you are visiting Sydney, do yourself a favor and go to Funky Pies. read more

This restaurant is super cute and the service was really great!! I ordered the funky monkey (I believe) and it was SO GOOD. Would never even guess it is vegan. The mashed potatoes as well as gravy and peas were also delicious. The two girls working there were super friendly. It is a very casual place and not all the pies are offered everyday. Definitely will return though!! read more

I never really know what to say about pies. It's pretty hard to get them wrong but we all know at least one place that still manages to make a pretty average pie. Funky Pies is better than average. A wide range of vegan 'meat' pies, and super satisfying after a cold surf. Eat in and get a nice crispy salad on the side. Bonus- they also stock naked treaties- a mouthwatering selection of sweetie vegan cakes and slices. Get the raw nickers bar if you're new to the process. f you are a vegetarian craving meat and stodgy treats, this is the place to go. read more

Inexpensive and delicious. I got a pie that was supposed to have mushrooms in it, but actually came with fake meat. It was very tasty anyway. The crust was a little chewy, but still great. The filling was very savory and had a depth to it that I don't always see in vegan food. They'll serve it with mashed potatoes, peas, and gravy for a little extra. Yummmmm... I wish I had this near me. Australia is good at vegan savory pies. The seating area outside is also adorable. It was a great place to sit and read or just enjoy the weather. read more

Funky Pies - Vegan shiitake pie with mashed potatoes, peas, and gravy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bondi Beach, NSW

One of the first things I learned upon entering Australia a few weeks ago for my holiday is that Australians really like pies, as evidenced by the plethora of pie shops in every city I've been fortunate enough to visit. I thought that being a vegan here meant that the flaky, hearty goodness of an Aussie pie was out of reach for me. When lo and behold I discovered Funky Pies that offers plant-based pies in Bondi Beach! Holy deliciousness, batman! I had the funky pie for dinner tonight and it was positively scrumptious! The crust was the right amount of flaky goodness and the mushroom and gravy filling was the perfect blend of flavors and texture. I may seriously try to contact the owner and beg them to open a shop in Los Angeles, they're that yummy! read more

Probably my favorite vegan spot in Sydney! Delicious pies with good service for a great price, especially for such a unique product.

If you want a pie hit the Funky Pies, their variety of pies will make you doubt yourself for a while before choosing the one of your taste. Trust your instinct on the pie you want and enjoy it. read more

So pleased that I made the trip. Too often vegetarian and vegan food falls short on flavour. Funky Pies by contrast is an orgasmic explosion of tastebud stimulating excitement. Just wish that it was such a trek from the upper Northshore to get here. I've just devoured a Spicy Thai Pie & have bought a Tuscan Mushroom Pie for dinner tonight. I'm leaving a happy man with the intention of now being a regular. read more

The best pies.. ever. Located conveniently near the beach and appropriately priced. This vegan pie blew my mind and i absolutely could not believe that it was vegan. The place looked a bit dodgy in reviews but in person, the vibes that came from the place and the servers were so relaxed and chill. You could see the preparation and the cooking and the ovens so i felt assured that it was fresh and warm and healthy. Overall, great food, great service and great price. Loved it. read more

Funky Pies - G'day Satay w/ mash, peas & gravy ($12) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bondi Beach, NSW

The pie was decent. Service was a bit scatter brained. They ran out of pies but the guy said they had some more baking and would be about 20 min so we sat and waited (the only ones in the restaurant) . Just as the pies were about to be ready a line started forming and he kept serving the line people before serving us (who just sat and waited by ourselves for 20 min) ... after letting him know that we were still here he didn't recognize us ... which was wired because we were the only ones in the place with him for about 20 min. He ended up serving about 10-12 people and took us 3 times to get him to finally serve us. read more

What's not to love!? This place is great, loved everything I tried so far. My favourite is the Spicy Thai pie. The people who work here are nice and helpful. read more

What a great find! Vegan food is hard to come by in Australia so we were delighted to find this all vegan cafe. They mainly serve pot pies which I guess Australians just call pies. It was a huge amount of food and so so good. They had pastries, ice creams & other tasty treats. They had smoothies/milkshakes that were also really good. There isn't much seating there and sometimes you have to wait if they run out of pies & need to make more but believe me, well worth it. read more

I've tried two different pies, both of which left me wanting... For more!!! They are so delicious, I'm actually more hungry after I eat one than I was before. And it's vegan, which isn't a necessity for me, but when it tastes this good, it's important to mention it. Seriously - I realize this is a really glowing review, but if you like flaky crust and savory filling, with the guilt-free feelings that come from eating vegan, this is a must-visit place during your trip to Bondi. The locals will confirm this. I'm just visiting on holiday from LA, but this was a multiple stop for me. Make sure it's a stop for you too. read more

About a year ago, i decided to become a vegetarian. It is a choice that i havent regretted - save for one thing. I feel like i am betraying my fellow australians by not being able to indulge in a meat pie every once in a while. I mean sure i could just get a mushroom pie but its not the same. This was seriously weighing on me. I was questioning whether to give up my vegetarianism just for that one sweet pie. Then i came to Funky Pies, and tasted their tuscan mushroom pie. Probably the best pie i have ever tasted. I mean sure meat pies are good but that tuscan mushroom pie haunts my dreams. read more

Outstanding authentic pies. I ate here twice before I realized it was vegan, which is not usually my first choice.

Don't advertise gluten free pies when all you have is a frozen apple pie which will take 30 mins to cook and no microwave. What a disappointment read more

A tiny little place with a limited section of veggie pies, but don't let that turn you off! Though several are fake-meat pies multiple ones are not. Friendly staff, tasty food, inexpensive, satisfying. Bondi does have multiple veggie options, but this is still worth visiting. read more
