Philomena Bake Shop is a gluten-free, vegan bakery with a strong wholesale presence and a growing retail storefront in Slavic Village. We are growing across both retail and wholesale—and you could be the difference-maker in our next chapter.

We are a small team of great people running a high volume kitchen. A new person joining us should be energetic, reliable (showing up is important), understands that work in a food business is often physically demanding and messy, and enjoys crossing items off a list.
