Menu - Hewn Bread

Hewn uses organic flour and grains. We partner with several local farmers to source our ingredients.

Our Libertyville outpost offers a curated selection of items. Certain items, such as hot sandwiches and dutch crunch rolls are only available in Evanston and Winnetka. Cold Sandwiches are now available at all locations.

Challah is available every Friday at 9am for walk-in sales at all locations. We suggest pre-ordering challah through our Tock site. Baguettes are available at all locations every day – they are usually out of the oven in Evanston by 9:30 am, and available at our outposts by 10:30am.

Daily Specials

Our bread selection rotates daily and consists of our country loaf, blonde country loaf, whole wheat seeded and rotating specialty loaves. Baguettes are available at all three locations around mid-morning-they are available on a first come, first served basis. Please note that this schedule is subject to change pending ingredient availability and/or certain holidays or events.
