I am thrilled that hewn has such success. This morning around 9 AM I went to get a piece of quiche…read more They were sold out again, for the third time in a row. I inquired of staff that if they're always sold out why they don't just make more With attitude she said to me "well we always sell out at seven in the morning." I was then informed, that if they made more, they would just sell out at 7 AM anyhow, and that I should show up before 7 AM to get in line before they open. If you regularly run out of a product, a smart business person would make more. Overall, when I've had them their products are good. The breads and pastries are awesome However, the snarky attitude from the staff is unacceptable. I will definitely minimize the number of times I come to the store because of their frequent morning stockouts on products.

Beautiful pastries/cakes!! They seemed too precious to eat but my sweet tooth tore through the box…read morebefore I could admire it some more(not before I took pictures of them though) I can't remember what the names were of each pastry/cake but I posted some pictures. The cakes were light and not too sweet but felt that it was too pricey. The shop is nestled in a little a mall strip so it's easy to miss. There is no place to sit so come here for great dessert after eating from other great restaurants in the area Staff was not very welcoming and they seemed hesitant to honor the yelp deal which made things very awkward. Overall, not sure I would return.

Do NOT buy Groupons here. The owner/manager was rude, unreliable, and unprofessional. She didn't…read morehonor the Groupons. They were closed for over a week at time and on the day the Groupon expired. The cakes were mediocre. I saw a deal on Groupon and thought it would be a great opportunity because I needed a birthday cake. I bought three $10 Groupons. The week I needed the birthday cake, I went in during their business hours but there was a sign on their door that they were closed for about a week. I was so disappointed. I went back this week during business hours and again, there was a sign on the door that they were closed that day--the day the Groupon expired! The sign said they would honor Groupons for the next three days but unfortunately, that was only partially true. I went back two days later and the owner said I could only use one Groupon. She said I needed to come back two more times because they only honor one Groupon at a time. She also said that she would not honor the full price of the third Groupon. I had to explain that that was my third time there and that they were closed the previous two times during business hours. I asked to speak to the manager and she said she was the manager. I asked to speak to her supervisor and unfortunately, she said she was the owner. After arguing with her and explaining that I would have used all the Groupons before the expiration date had they been opened in the first place, she finally agreed to let me use the Groupons but she only honored two and the cash value for the third one. As the owner, she had the power to honor the Groupons but she just decided not to. That goes to show how much she cares about customer service. Also, I had driven 45 minutes each way just to get to this bakery three times. I spent 4.5 hours in the car! What a waste! It doesn't make sense to get this Groupon, especially if you don't live around Skokie and if you don't have time to make multiple trips. If you do, definitely call ahead to make sure they are open.

I had no intention of eating all three at the same time. Loved the top two layers of the raspberry dessert. Would have preferred the bottom to be soft vs the chocolate crunch. In fact, it was so hard I could barely get my fork through. I took a bite of the double chocolate gluten free cookie. Kind of like a shortbread cookie with filling. Not much to say about this. I like gluten. A chocolate chip cookie. Not a tough one. It was dry and I swear it was sitting in that jar for 4 days. Total bummer. I threw it away. The piece of cake and coffee came right away to counter. I sat down. Then about 5 minutes passed and my two cookies just showed up. I went back up to ask the guy at counter for them. Wouldn't you think he could have brought to me since it was not busy and he made me wait or maybe just forgot about me. It is time to repaint and tidy up. As for the baked goods. Needs a major step up to make it. If I can't get a chocolate chip cookie that I would eat. Total loss. I pride myself of being positive for reviews. I just can't with this one.

I also tried the Israeli Rogalach which was good but it's more of a yeasted dough, i prefer the Rugalach. Try them all and decide for yourself. The first time there i bought a poppy seed coffee cake for my aunt and uncle. said it was the best poppy seed coffee cake they have had up to this point.

For breakfast and lunch - you really get a lot for the price, and the speciality drinks are amazing (highly recommend the mangonada). While I've only done takeout, the inside is family-friendly, cozy, light, and casual - very inviting. This is my new go-to for brunch takeout and special-occasion baked good gifts - just check out their hot cocoa bombs and beautifully decorated cookies.

The best croissant I've maybe had in my whole life. The croissant was so flaky (the way a croissant…read moreshould be). It was perfectly buttery but not overwhelming. The glaze over the croissant was sweet but not too sweet. The mango, cream cheese, and raspberry was outstanding. Truly exceptionally amazing. I would get this again and again and I am so sad that this is not in boston. You can tell they carefully selected what mangoes to use, and they were very generous with the cream cheese. The pairing with the raspberry was just wow. We found these are the division at farmers market, it was a busy day but it was quick and easy to get the croissant! Would recommend.

The chocolate croissant, like the plain croissant, was lacking. Not only was it missing the underlying buttery taste I've become accustomed to, but there was very little chocolate-it was almost a plain croissant itself! See picture, a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom. Again, the texture and flakiness of the pastry is spot on, but it pretty much ends there. Okay, I've 'saved the best for last'. The Morning Glory muffin! I don't know where to start, except it was amazing with each bite I took. Carrots, apples, walnuts, raisins, sunflower and flax seeds - it's a plethora of flavor and textures, with underlying notes of cinnamon and ginger - it's one of the best muffins I've had in awhile!
