Thanks to everyone who replied to last weeks post about favorite local bakeries! I loved reading everyone’s responses and it is great to know that there are still quite a few local bakeries beyond the newer cupcake shops in town. Here are a few more bakery suggestions that were emailed to me.

Gluuteny – A gluten free bakery in Sq. Hill. One friend of IheartPGH swears by their brownies and he is even a gluten eater.

Bartram House Bakery – I know this is a drive but this place looks amazing

Jean March Chatellier – French baker in Millvale – check out the penguin cakes.

Right By Nature brings Organic to the Burgh

To Pittsburgh’s surprise and pure enjoyment, an organic market just opened on Smallman Street a few weeks ago. The shop, which is 2 city blocks, has everything from fresh baked good (the most delicious chocolate chip pecan cookies), produce ranging from vegetables to exotic fruits, flower arrangements, cleaning products and prepared foods. Right By Nature even validates parking when you park in the Cork Factory garage. How great is that? I’ve been to the market three times now and each time I go back I have even more of a reason to love everthing about it. Just yesterday there was a bit of confusion during lunchtime a co-worker and I ordered sandwiches. They felt so bad about how long we waited so they gave us our lunch on the house. I almost dropped dead. The wonderful woman who was chatting with us said, “We want you to come back!” I wanted to hug her. The staff is friendly and down to earth, you won’t see any SUV driving, soccer mom, organic bandwagon peeps at Right By Nature, only genuine people really trying to make a difference in their lives, with their health and for their community. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up etc… etc… etc…
