"Hewn, one of Evanston’s most popular bakeries, has earned such a large following its expanded to Lake County. The backbone of Hewn’s offerings is its assortment of hand-shaped, freshly baked bread upon which staff builds various sandwiches. It’s a perfect spot to pick up breakfast, as it offers a plethora of warm pastries and a substantial coffee menu." - Sam Nelson

"Located in Evanston, this rustic shop makes its products from scratch using organic flour and grains. Hewn’s bread selection rotates daily and ranges from challah, which is available every Friday, to beer bread baked with local brews. Get there early in the day for the most options; there are limited quantities available and the bakery’s pastries and most popular items sell out quickly." - Ashok Selvam
"Evanston bakery Hewn is celebrating Pride with its rainbow croissants, which are available for pre-order (via Tock) in a four-pack for Pride Weekend on Saturday, June 22, and Sunday, June 23. The colorful croissants will also be available to walk-in patrons (while supplies last) starting Friday, June 7. A portion of sales will go to local LGBTQ nonprofit Center on Halsted — which is also the most comprehensive health and community hub of its kind in the Midwest." - Naomi Waxman
