Father's Day
June is one of our favorite months at the bakery, as we get to celebrate both Pride and Father’s Day!
Our Father’s Day pre-orders are officially open, and we’ve put together a menu of delicious offerings for your celebration. Back by popular demand, we have our Pulled Pork Empanadas (2-pack) and Hewn-Made Pretzels with a side of honey mustard (2-pack). We're also baking up Dinner Rolls (12-pack)—which are the absolute perfect rolls for BBQ sliders. (They are also great on their own with a side of butter!).
The real showstopper this year is our brand-new Chocolate Stout Cheesecake. It is rich and decadent, and it is sure to be the star of your Father’s Day weekend. We'll also have plenty of our classic take-and-bake items and breads available for order, including our new fan favorite Baby Blonde Cheddar loaves.
Don't miss out: Place your order by Thursday, June 18th at 8:00 PM for pick up at either Evanston, Libertyville or Winnetka on Saturday, June 20th or Sunday, June 21st.
Pride is a celebration of love, acceptance, and freedom. In today’s crazy world, the mission behind Pride feels more urgent and important than ever. We are always proud to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone who walks through our doors.
To celebrate all month long, our Pride Croissants are back! Filled with berry jam, you can catch these colorful creations in our pastry case every weekend in June.
Planning a bigger celebration for Pride Weekend? You can pre-order a Pride Croissant 4-pack for pick-up on Saturday, June 20th or Sunday, June 21st. You can also grab one of our custom Pride Hewn stickers at any of our locations.
A portion of all Pride sales this month will be donated directly to Equality Illinois, supporting their important work for LGBTQ+ rights across the state.

Evanston Construction Updates
Thank you again for your patience and for continuing to visit our Evanston location during this massive construction project on Central Street. We are nearing the finish line! If the weather cooperates, the crews might be finished with their work this Friday - fingers crossed.
As you can see, this project involved alot of hard work, skill and coordination - kudos to the construction crews for their expertise and getting this done in a timely manner.
We are looking forward to having our street back and parking more readily available for our customers!
Thank you so much for supporting Hewn. We really appreciate it. If you can, please leave us a Google review. Your feedback means the world to us. Hope to see you soon!
