This is not your box mix, frozen and then thaw, pre-made bakery. This is “you actually have to have talent” and “know what you’re doing” bakery looking to add another passionate baker to the team. Here, you will be creating, crave-worthy baked goods like cookies, brownies, babka, rugelach, seasonal treats, and challah products. Our guests line-up often before opening to purchase our coveted baked goods.
Food is undoubtedly love. We hear customer stories about how our food “takes them back.” A single bite can trigger a memory that was lost before it was found again at Pearl’s Bagels & Bakery. We believe that food is love and that is why we make everything from scratch daily. We do not sell next-day items, we don’t even have a freezer (or a microwave). We are proud of what we have created and what we have become known for: exceptional, quality baked goods.
If you’re looking to join and help grow one of few scratch bakeries in the Capital Region, we look forward to hearing from you.
