New Outdoor Seating At All Locations!
Those who visit our Evanston location are already aware of the outdoor tables and chairs now available for customer use in front of the store. Last week, we also added outdoor seating in Winnetka and Libertyville! We hope you enjoy sipping a latte and eating a pastry while enjoying the sunny weather. Thank you for helping us take care of our outdoor seating areas by cleaning up your tables after use, and discarding any trash when you leave. Enjoy!
Hewn "Bread Club" T-Shirts
Did you know Hewn started on two wheels? Back before we opened our doors, Ellen baked at home and delivered fresh loaves by bike for her Underground Bread Club. Our new t-shirts are a fun nod to where it all began. This 100% cotton Tultex tee is the perfect shirt for the bread lover in your life. Wrapped and ready to gift in a custom cardboard tube, pick one up at any location in unisex sizes XS–XL.
Bees Wrap Bread Bags
Our new Bees Wrap Bread Bags are flying off the shelves. If you like the wrap, you will LOVE the bags. The Bread Bag is lined with Bee’s Wrap to create the ideal environment for our artisan loaves. It’s breathable enough to prevent moisture buildup, yet protective enough to keep bread from drying out. The reusable bag features a simple drawstring closure that makes bread storage seamless.
Thanks to its natural breathability, the Bees Wrap Bread Bag helps maintain balanced humidity and airflow, preserving texture and freshness the way bread was meant to be stored. This will make your bread last and stay fresh longer. Available at all locations!
We Are Hiring
As we prepare for our busy fall and holiday seasons, we are hiring for the following positions at the bakery:
- Pastry Cook and Bread Baker: For both positions, applicants must have professional experience and availability to work the early morning shift.
- Front of House/Barista: We need at least one additional staff person for all of our locations. Weekend and daytime availability is required; barista experience is preferred.

August means back to school and college for many, including our kids. We wish you all the best as summer ends and new adventures start.
