We Are JAK'S

Founded in 2019, Jak’s Bakery is the U.S. iteration of the life’s work of Zhelyazko (Jak) Latinov and his wife Molly Freedman Latinova .

​

Since moving to Pittsburgh, Jak has been practicing traditional artisan techniques for pulling and throwing handmade phyllo dough, braiding Easter breads and crafting delicacies while developing a following through special events and pop-ups.

 

Our commitment to tradition, technique and quality as well as continuous development of new creations to appeal to Pittsburgh’s appetite for unique and delicious foodie experiences keep our customers coming back week after week.
