WHAT’s Baking
Stone Milled, Locally Sourced
Hewn uses organic flour and grains. We partner with several local farmers to source our ingredients. Our Libertyville and Winnetka Outpost offer a curated selection of items. Certain items, are only available in Evanston and Winnetka. Challah is available every Friday at 9am for walk-in sales at all locations. We suggest pre-ordering Challah online. 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.
