Publican Quality Bread

"Out of all the Publican entities, Publican Quality Bread (PQB) is the one that’s, unsurprisingly, carb-central. This is where you’ll find the baking operation that supplies bread to The Publican and Publican Quality Meats, along with a small storefront that has all sorts of pastries and loaves. Inventive baked goods like buckwheat chocolate croissants and gruyere brioche buns are available on a rolling basis starting at 7am, followed by fresh bread at 9, and sandwiches and tartines at 10. There’s no place to sit, but there’s ample street parking in the area—perfect for when you need an SUV to transport everything you bought home." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen

"This West Town bakery is where you’ll find the baking operation that supplies bread to The Publican and Publican Quality Meats, along with a small storefront that has all sorts of pastries and loaves. Fantastic things like earthy buckwheat chocolate croissants and gruyere brioche buns are available on a rolling basis starting at 7am, and fresh bread (like a tangy sourdough that’s crustier than Statler and Waldorf) makes an appearance at 9am. There’s no place to sit, but there’s ample street parking in the area—perfect for when you need an SUV’s backseat to transport everything you bought home." - veda kilaru, john ringor

"Offering sandwiches and sides for large crowds available for pickup." - Ashok Selvam

"One Off Hospitality was quiet during the pandemic, but this was the esteemed group co-founded by chef Paul Kahan’s first big splash. Baker Greg Wade, a James Beard winner, finally has his space for top-notch breads, seasonal pastries, and a cute grab and go. Publican Quality Bread in West Town allows Wade to really show off his skills, and customers will often have to wait in long lines to taste his efforts." - Ashok Selvam

"One Off Hospitality has put together a fun build-your-own Thanksgiving meal kit that allows patrons to choose among whole turkeys (in a wide variety of weights), turkey breasts, and half or whole hams, as well as ready-to-serve side dishes, pies, pastries, and bread from Publican Quality Bread. Would-be patrons should note that these turkeys are raw, so the team strongly suggests purchasing a brining kit, too. Place pre-orders online for pickup or delivery. Pickup is at Publican Quality Bread in West Town and Oak Park from November 25 to 28." - Eater Staff
