Part-Time Weekend Baker - Not a Bakery

About Not a Bakery

What began as a commissary kitchen supporting restaurants Twelve, Evo Kitchen Bar, The Good Table, and the soon-to-open Douro, has grown into its own brand: Not a Bakery (NAB).

Built on a foundation of culinary creativity and craft, NAB focuses on producing exceptional breads and pastries that reflect both classic techniques and modern innovation. Our team is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of quality, consistency, and hospitality while fostering a collaborative, respectful, and growth-oriented workplace.
