The word hewn—which means to give form or shape with heavy cutting blows by hand—is a way to connect the past with the future. Everything at Hewn is made in-house, from scratch daily. In a time of big box stores and large chains, Hewn is a return back to a smaller, independently owned and operated artisan bakery.
All of our breads are hand-shaped and naturally fermented without commercial yeast or any preservatives, chemicals, or additives. We work with a dozen local farmers to source our grains, produce and dairy. We utilize stone-milled grains that enable our products to have incredible flavor and texture. We value our team of bakers, pastry chefs and front staff, and we love being part of the vibrant and diverse community of Evanston.
