Our Story

A corner of Pittsburgh that feels like home

Joey Joe opened its doors on Penn Avenue with a simple conviction: that the best bread begins with patience, and the best grocery begins with care. What started as a neighborhood dream has grown into a gathering place — a place where the smell of sourdough meeting the morning light feels like an invitation.

Every loaf is mixed, shaped, and baked by hand. Every item on our shelves is chosen the way you'd choose for your own kitchen — with attention to origin, to craft, and to the people behind it. We're not a chain. We're your neighbors.

What We Offer

From our oven, our shelves, your table

Two worlds under one roof — the warmth of a working bakery and the quiet satisfaction of a well-curated pantry.

Golden sourdough loaf with a crackled crust
Bakery

Artisan Breads

Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, and seasonal loaves — all leavened naturally, baked to a deep amber crust, and cooled on wooden racks before they reach you.

Flaky butter croissants on a wire rack
Bakery

Pastries & Sweets

Buttery croissants, laminated danishes, seasonal tarts, and small-batch cookies — each one folded, filled, and glazed by hand, usually before 9 a.m.

Artisan olive oils and pantry staples on wooden shelves
Grocery

Pantry & Provisions

Small-batch preserves, aged cheeses, imported pastas, house-made stocks, and the kind of olive oil you actually want to finish — selected with intention.

The Experience

More than a stop — a moment in your day

Step inside and notice the details: the sound of a crust breaking, the weight of a warm baguette in your hands, the quiet confidence of something made well.

Early Mornings

We open before the city wakes so your first loaf is as fresh as your first coffee.

Neighborly

We know regulars by name. We remember how you take your bread. That's the point.

Seasonal Rhythm

Our menu shifts with the seasons — rosemary focaccia in autumn, lemon poppy in spring.

Made With Care

No shortcuts, no compromises. Every recipe has been tested, refined, and loved into existence.

Kind Words

What our neighbors are saying

"The sourdough here changed the way I think about bread. I used to buy whatever was on sale — now I drive past three other stores just to get to Penn Ave."

A Shadyside regular

Weekly customer

"I came in for coffee and ended up filling a whole basket. The cheese selection alone is worth the trip — and the croissants are unreal."

M

A Pittsburgh local

Grocery & bakery fan

"There's something about walking in here that makes the whole week feel better. It's warm, it smells incredible, and everyone treats you like you belong."
