Service was slow--only because they were taking excellent care of the people before me, and I was inpatient and dieing to get my order in my mouth. read more

Nice variety of artisan breads, always fresh and ready to go! The monkey bread and rosemary scones are the best! Must arrive early for the best selections of breads and pastries. Since they bring in inventory from their sister store in Evanston. What you see is what they have, so don't expect a secret stash in the back. If you want specific items or need to feed a large group, order online in advance. Knowledgeable friendly staff are always on deck. read more

Is there something I don't like at Hewn? No! Well there was this one time when I arrived 15 minutes before opening. That was not good. A good bakery vibe for Libertyville. It's a small shop with all items on display. The challenge is to limit one's purchase. Try something new. It'll be your favorite until you try something else. read more

What a sweet little artisanal bakery hidden on the main strip in Downtown Libertyville. If you're not looking for it, you'll likely miss it - and you DON'T want to do that. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable of their offerings. Huge selection of pastries (especially the drool worthy sticky buns), breads, and sandwiches. I had really hoped to grab a breakfast sandwich at the Libertyville location this morning but was sad to find out they wouldn't be delivered until 10 AM-ish. Overall, we very much so enjoy Hewn Bakery. The fermentation of their pastries and artisan breads really elevates the taste and makes them easier to digest. The flavors are delightful, and the fact that they serve Tala coffee is a huge win! read more

Hewn Evanston is a favorite, so whilst passing through Libertyville and by Hewn I decided to stop. I picked up some monkey bread and a kouign amann, which is my favorite pastry. As usual they were delicious. It was picholine olive bread day and I almost got some because it is so delicious, but didn't know if I had space in my freezer so I had to pass this time. (But seriously if you're there and it's olive bread day, get some.) The service was friendly, and they had a nice selection still left around 11am when I was here. A different vibe here for sure because there was no one there when I entered, and the Evanston location is usually pretty busy. Parking is street only. read more

Small bakery hidden in the street. Was a bit disappointed that this location has no sandwiches, but the pastries are still pretty good. Our son enjoyed (ate all) the shamrock cookie here! read more

Hewn Bakery in Libertyville is a nice stop for pastries or a sandwich! They also have Tala Coffee Roasters coffee which is always good. The cinnamon roll and almond croissant were awesome. The cinnamon roll had a ton of frosting and the almond croissant was huge! Friendly service and the line moved quick! Check it out next time you're looking for fresh pastries, breads, lunch, or a coffee! I read more

I hate to say it but we where very disappointed. READ TO THE END !!the brioche bread is a whole wheat bread. I paid $11 for a loaf of bread and it is far from a brioche. When I spoke with the young lady that answered the phone, told her my situations, she politely said she was sorry. I told her thank you for being sorry but I just paid hard earned $$ for a wheat bread,( that truly wasn't that impressive). I guess this a place I'm never going to again. The idea was good, the expedition not so much. Great news spoke with Patrick, he made everything all right! He was willing to credit my card but instead I would rather try another type of bread. So I'm glad I spoke with him, cause there where many things I wanted to try. read more

Baguettes are back and to me these are the best this side of Paris. Their loaves snd pan au chocolates are just amazing.

Omg this place! I finally stopped in here as I've been wanting to for a while but never got a chance to. It was magical. The bakery items were beautifully displayed and very fresh. I went with a ham and cheese croissant. I can't get over how amazing and huge it was. So much flavor and so flakey. So many other options as well and decent pricing. I am very excited to come back and try more! The service was quick, I was in and out in a minute or two on a Saturday morning. Ambiance was calm but small. read more

What an awesome addition to downtown Libertyville! I love the smell of pastry/ bread when you walk into the store. The employees there are friendly and helpful with suggestions. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!!! I stopped by around 2PM on a weekday and some of their popular pastries were gone already. I do highly recommend their Morning Bun, Kouign Amman and Savory Croissant. You can't go wrong with some sweet honey on your pastries! I can't wait to stop by again at an earlier time to try more of their pastries and breakfast items! read more

It's ok. Good, above average bakery. But a bit disappointed maybe because of the hype?

We decided to stop for coffee in Libertyville. Hewn Bakery had great reviews, so we dropped in. Immediately we grated my the finally guy behind the counter. We asked questions shot the pastries for sale. Many scones, cinnamon rolls, cookies, etc. We got a money bread, cinnamon roll, lemon-ginger scone, and another roll with caramel injected in the middle. The pastries were a little plainer than expected, but moist. They were good, but just drier than expected. We were expecting sticky sauces on the pastries. We also got 2 latte's and the coffee was really good. Prices were reasonable, service was good, and the food was good.little bland but still very good. I definitely recommend Hewn. read more

A hidden gem in plain sight!! I was looking for a place to grab a quick cinnamon roll last week and stumbled upon Hewn Bakery. They are located in the heart of downtown Libertyville IL. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the gentleman working behind the counter. He was serving another customer so I checked out the store, so many unique things. The interior reminded me of an old bakery from my childhood, with the wooden glass cases, all the pastries perfectly displayed. The young man in front of me finished his transaction, and now it is my turn to order. The cinnamon roll that I came in for was a hard choice to stick to as EVERYTHING looked so delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I'm convinced they don't make anything bad! Every time I come in I try something new and I love it. My favorite was the savory croissant, so good! The shop is small and quaint, it's very lively but not loud. We waited a few minutes for others guests to be serviced, it was not long by any stretch of the imagination. Only critique is there isn't an option to warm any of the food items, but they are all spectacular cold! read more

This cute coffee shop located in libertyville is a hidden gem where you will find the best pastries. The highlight here for me was the crescents which were buttery, flakey, and the perfect texture. There are lots of choices to choose from, and the staff were knowledgeable and gave recommendations. The coffee wasn't anything special but not bad. Would highly recommend trying pastries here! read more

Sheesh. Diet...say "bu-bye." This...place...is...awesome! 6 stars would be awarded! So in my quest to find pecan sticky rolls as good, or better than, my family recipe...I found a close runner-up. Light, buttery, loaded with sugar and cinnamon, with a generous amount of pecans...these are equal to counter service there---both are excellent. The other offerings I selected to "sacrifice" for my research--Ginger Lemon Scones, Chocolate Croissants, Blueberry Scones, and a Fruit Danish--all excellent, magnifique! I'm not sure what is baked on site, or at their main locale in Evanston, but all were fresh, airy, and flavorful. The coffee station also contributes to the cute, clean ambiance of the shop. The shop also sells flours for baking, if you're willing to delve into home baking, in addition to some "foodie fodder" merchandised on several racks. Try the spoon jams---fabulous smeared on one of their buttery, flaky, delectable croissants! I recommend the Berry, paired with a savory ham croissant! Delish! So the friendly counter people were so helpful explaining how the business came about and why they came to Libertyville--I am thankful Hewn has elected to serve the downtown area! Fire up those ovens, I think the community needs to break bread, once again, after Covid. Grab a coffee, get a wonderful pastry and don't forget a loaf of bread to take home. All the area grocers need to stock up on butter, because Hewn is going to cause a run on their supply! Kudos to Hewn...well done! read more

Absolutely love this bakery and specifically the Libertyville location. Have just walked in many times for a few items and have also placed large orders for events. They are wonderful to work with. The manager, Patrick, in Libertyville provides excellent customer service, always pleasant and friendly, and gets it right every time. Highly recommend! read more

They provide fantastic tasting bread. The service is also very good. Nice people there. Variety of the choices.

This Libertyville location was named as an "outpost" by the bakery with its main location in Evanston. This Libertyville shop is a grab-and-go type of place that offers different bread loaves, pastries, and coffee. I ordered a variety of croissants: ham & cheese, chocolate, & the Kouign Amman. All were wonderfully flakey and buttery- very delish! This was the first time I had a Kouign Amman and it was slightly sweet and savoury from the sugar & butter. Would recommend it! They had plenty of sourdough loves and 1 brioche option when I visited. I ended up getting the brioche, but it was a bit dry. Also it's a bit pricey. Can't wait to come back to try the other pastries! read more

Coffee and pastries are very good! Delightful even! Wish they had a more accesible store. Customer service always top quality!

I am so happy Hewn Bakery has a home in Libertyville! It definitely fills a missing piece in the area. The staff is super friendly and the bread and pastries are absolutely delicious! The first time I went (grand opening), I purchased the blonde country loaf, plain croissant, and chocolate chip cookie. The blonde country loaf was just wonderful-Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside (I had to stop myself from eating half of it on my drive home). The plain croissant was so buttery and flaky! The chocolate chip cookie was just okay. On my most recent trip (photos added), I ordered the whole wheat seeded loaf, a chocolate croissant, a savory croissant, and a matcha latte. Everything tasted fantastic! The loaf had a wonderful nutty flavor, the chocolate croissant and savory croissant were so deliciously flaky and buttery, and the matcha latte was super tasty! I'm thrilled to have a wonderful bakery to support that's so close by! Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Cute into town bakery with glass cases filled with crafted yummy baked goods. I chose a cherry galette which had a tender crust and not overly sweet filling. Just perfect! They do serve coffee but with no indoor seating I opted to go across the street to a cafe for coffee. read more

my first time at the libertyville outpost of hewn. the evanston location is pretty accessible--but o was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. take out seems to be the way to go at this location, and there are a lot of choices. the same very good bread (publican is better) and fantastic service. i ordered a blonde sourdough, savory individual tart, and a bloob scone; chocolate biscotti (an afterthought and v glad that i did). my SO thought that the tart was great--and the chocolate biscotti even better. my one biscotti was augmented by another--on the house, which made me happy! it was YUM! and so i will return, mostly because of a great experience during my first visit. read more

This place isn't even just perfect baked goods, they also have high quality espresso drinks that'll have you questioning why they aren't open at 6am on your way to work. Excellent everything read more

Extremely high prices--around $6 for one pastry. Staff is friendly, interior is very small and becomes incredibly cramped on busy days. We have bought pastries, brioche, and sourdough from here and weren't terribly impressed by any of them. read more

This is the an awesome place for the most wonderful breads and pastries. Everyone working there is completely knowledgeable about ingredients which is a great help for us with allergies.

I love Hewn! I used to make the drive to Evanston every few weeks for a loaf of good bread, a baguette and a kougn aman. It got to be a bit of a problem, weight wise. Now, Hewn has come to me! However, I didn't realize this is an outpost, and they don't bake on site. The baking happens in Evanston, and they drive the goods over in the morning. Well, the consequences of this is 1. They open later (7:30). 2. No baguettes. 3. Smaller selection of baked goods and bread in general. There's still plenty of pastries and such, the bread is fresh and yummy, and lots of local honey/maple syrup/olive oil etc pantry staples, as well as a well stocked freezer/fridge. I'll be back! But I hope they will get baguettes. read more

A great artisan bread bakery! Morning Glory muffins were delish. Nice assortment of muffins and croissants. Good service!

Outstanding bread! Fresh and delightful. Lots to choose from. You won't be disappointed!

The best bread in the world. Love that they have a libertyville location. Wish there were more of there items in libertyville, but go get their bread. It's fantastic. read more

Found by accident when the conscious cup was packed. Great coffee and baked goods. Will go again!

Stopped in for a quick latte and grabbed a couple pastries because why not? The cinnamon roll was delish!! Buttery throughout and heavily covered in caramel sauce oh yeah!! We were tempted to purchase a loaf of bread but @9 bucks a loaf we passed. Very good nonetheless. read more

Fabulous bakery- highest quality ingredients and the best pastries- too bad they are closed on Monday and Tuesday

Great artisan breads! Helpful staff. Wonderful local bakery for bread. Not a "sweets" bakery

Beautiful breads and wonderful pastries topped with wonderful consistent service. I love it.
