We are a worker-owned, community-focused bakery and teaching space, located in Pittsburgh PA.
Third Space Bakery promotes the essential "third space" that we must cultivate for healthy and fulfilling lives: existing outside our usual first and second spaces of home and work, third spaces engage our creative, social, and independent selves, while creating community between us.
Our bakery represents not just essential nourishment that is found in hearty grain products, but also the emotional and social nourishment we find in joyful baking and the opportunities to bond over food with each other.

Chloe Newman is our resident breadhead. Her passion for baking and working with food led her to create Crust Worthy in 2019, which has run as a one-woman bakery, offering organic sourdough breads and pastries at the Bloomfield farmers markets. When she’s not elbow-deep in dough, Chloe enjoys outdoor activities, including biking, hiking, camping, sticking her hands in dirt, foraging, and going out for ice cream (yes, this counts).
After earlier work in the field of child development, Beth returned to the classroom and earned a MA in Food Studies from Chatham University in 2015. This new journey led her to work as a teaching kitchen instructor, food tour guide and freelance food writer. Volunteering in a variety of kitchens, exploring local beers, cooking, crafting and home projects consume her spare time.
