    I've been coming bi-weekly over the past few months. I really appreciate the high quality of Hewn's bread. I have to be careful though because everything looks so good especially if I see something new. I appreciate how some items are rotated throughout the week. Some of my favorites are the baguette, morning bun, monkey bread, holmenkollen, and durum. They also have special items on holidays such as king cake for fat Tuesday. Prices are on the high side, but for the quality you get, I feel it's worth it!

    A line out the door on the Saturday morning before Easter should be a good indicator at this place's popularity. The Great Harvest a few blocks down did not boast the same we noticed. They were out of the ciabatta bread we wanted, but we ended up getting a baguette to try. It smelled amazing and was very similar to what I had in France. We also drooled over the chocolate Almond croissant which is so messy but so worth it. The combination of the Almond, chocolate and buttery pastry was heavenly. We also had the canela(sp?) which the very attentive employee explain had a custard creme brulee flavor. It wasn't as sweet as I expected but was really tasty. It would be perfect with some coffee.

    Nothing quite like fresh pastries Looking for a great shop in the suburbs? Look no further than @hewnbread!! We stumbled into their Evanston location after a little mishap at their neighbor's (who will not be mentioned, but iykyk) shop next door. But, if it wouldn't have been for that mishap we wouldn't have gotten to try Hewn for the first time!! They had a variety of delicious looking pastries and a menu full of coffees, sandwiches, and other snacks. We grabbed the Everything Bagel Croissant and a Cinnamon Brioche! They were fantastic!! We heated the Cinnamon Brioche for just a few seconds and it was just lovely We're definitely returning for some sandwiches soon!!

    Let's be real, bakeries are a dime a dozen in Evanston so it was real nice to find one where the pastries and baked goods are above beyond the rest. Hewn had a simple, open and rustic set up but it's great to see the baked goods all lined up for the day. I also saw the bakers at work in the kitchen, so I know I was going to get good quality pastries. I decided on the monkey bread and sticky bun and they're absolutely delicious! I paired them with coffee and it's even better! The man behind the counter was super nice and courteous and he even explained about their holiday order availability and cut off. Can't wait to come back and try more of their goodies!

    We've come to Hewn Bakery a few times. Their bread and pastries are ok, but we really love their coffee.

    Do they have Cinnamon Bun?

    Yes! They have cinnamon brioche buns and I believe the morning buns have cinnamon as well. My favorite breakfast treat is kouign amann.

    Do they have a cafe too? Al place to sit and east the pastries?

    With Covid still rampant, this is not really a place to sit down. there ARE benches to sit at, but no 'tables' per se. Perhaps in the spring, outdoor seating will be available.

    Still love this place. We come here for trivia almost every time they have it. Vibes are always…read moreimmaculate. We always run into the owner and his family, and he's super nice. The patio is incredible. Last night we lost (after winning the previous time, but it's good to be humbled on occasion lol). But, I thoroughly enjoyed my free grilled cheese sandwich that I won as our previous trivia night prize. Sandwiches really are their specialty. Perfectly greasy, and the caramlized onions and spinach really elevated it. Another person in our group had the turkey on a pretzel bun and said it was amazing. Also, a great range of drink options. Always a good time, and I'm excited to come to one of their mahjong gatherings, since I recently learned how to play.

    I got to attend a graduation party at The Fat Shallot and it was really nice. The catered food made…read moreby the restaurant was good. I had the fries and chicken tenders. All were very tasty. There were also burgers I didn't have one but everyone that had a burger or chicken sandwich said they were good and tasty. The open bar was nice the Tito's was smooth and I had a good time. There was a DJ and enough room on the bar floor for dancing and there was a television with sports on for the sports watchers. I also saw patio outdoors seating out back. They had two restrooms and they appeared clean for patrons. The waitstaff and bartender were all friendly and just very nice.
