About Us
The Cooperatively Owned Bakery (and why it's the best)
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.
