Our new outpost in Libertyville will provide customers with a curated selection of breads and pastries made at our Evanston bakehouse and delivered to this location every morning. In a time of big box stores and large chains, Hewn is a return back to a smaller, independently owned and operated artisan bakery. All of our breads are hand-shaped and naturally fermented without commercial yeast or any preservatives, chemicals, or additives. We work with a dozen local farmers to source our grains, produce and dairy. We utilize stone-milled grains that enable our products to have incredible flavor and texture.

We are excited to have this bakery in the neighborhood. We have not visited their Evanston location yet, but this is the next best thing. The staff are so nice and helpful are able to answer all questions on their bakery items. We’ve made it a Saturday tradition to pick up pastries a loaf of bread for the week. The quality of their pastries is 10/10 and you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients. Worth a visit! Or two!

Breads are excellent – long-ferment, heirloom grains. Our favorite is the Blonde Country – slightly chewy, slightly sour, and excellent crumb. Great for dipping in olive oil, to using in a sandwich.
Pastries are also overall very good – (and I’ve had almost all of them). The blueberry muffins are full of nice moist blueberries.
The chocolate croissants could use a bit more chocolate bits in there so you can get some with every bite.
Occasionally we’ll get a croissant that’s over-done, but it’s rare.

We’ve been driving down to Evanston to get Hewn for years and are thrilled that this location is closer. This is the best place to get bread and pastries in Lake County now. Their locally sourced grain is impressive and the flavor of their bread is sublime. I recommend popping in and trying a pastry and a coffee. I do wish they would bring their garlic knots back.

One of my favorite bakeries to visit when I can get in the area!

Based on an article I read about this being a female owned and operated business and absolutely loving sourdough bread, I was super excited to visit this small take out bakery.
The bread did not disappoint and the young man that suggested we try the blonde loaf was very friendly and super helpful. The bread was absolutely worth the trip. Nice crust in the outside, chewy and soft on inside and that wonderful sourdough taste! We also purchased an almond croissant and sticky roll which were both delicious. The products are packaged nicely in brown bags. The bread bag had the story of the bakery on it snd said fermented in Evanston which I thought was a nice touch and creative marketing strategy!
Why not 5 stars? My issue with this business is that they are cashless, which I found out as I was trying to pay. The young woman cashier said rather rudely in a condescending tone “we are cashless, do you have a card?” When I said oh this is my first time here and I had no idea. She just stared at me blankly and not friendly at all. I only had cash on me but thankfully, my husband was with me and had his card.
Customer service is a huge deal for me and this interaction felt awkward and unwelcoming. Almost like I was being shamed for trying to pay with cash. It might be nice to have a sign on the door or by the register that says you are “cashless”. Also, suggest adding this info on your website to alert the public of this business approach.
Not sure I’ll be back based on this first impression. The bread was great, but the customer service specifically the rude cashier left me disappointed in the experience.

Grabbed an oat milk latte and a chocolate croissant this morning. Both were super delicious and put me in a good mood right away. Really enjoyed it and would come back for sure 🙂

I was very excited for the grand opening after finding out about the bakery’s main location on the news. It’s a very cozy shop, with a great selection of drinks and bakery items. Seems very popular even on the first day. The staff were very nice and I can’t wait to go back.

Went for first and last time. Croissants… one plain and one almond… both over baked and the almond was still frozen in the middle… obviously not fresh baked

First visit. Sunday morning at opening. I was excited to finally remember to stop in… love fresh, toasted, buttered bread. I decided on the Country Blonde loaf. They offered to slice, which I accepted. Also ordered a couple of scones and a couple of croissant varieties. Prices are as expected, when compared to ‘higher quality’ bakeries.
The bread was fantastic, I’ll be back to try other varieties. The pastries were not quite on par with my favorites. They also offer coffee drinks and have various flours for those who wish to bake at home.

Family liked the pastries. Coffee was good too. If you want Brioche go early since it sold out 2 min after they opened today.
