Hewn Bakery

Making bread is an ancient craft that relies on the hands of the baker. The word hewn is a way to connect the past with the future. Everything at Hewn is made in-house, from scratch daily. We source local and seasonal ingredients from small, local farmers when their flavors are at their peak. All of our breads are hand-mixed, hand-shaped and naturally fermented without commercial yeast. Allowing bread to ferment with wild yeast allows a richer, more complex flavor to develop. It also allows the gluten proteins to slowly and naturally break down. In addition to bread, we also make a wide assortment of handmade pastries and sweets every day. Espresso and drip coffee from Wonderstate Coffee is available, along with a wide array of sandwiches for lunch. Established in 2013. Ellen King and Julie Matthei are the co-owners of Hewn. Ellen is a classically trained chef and worked in various restaurants in Seattle with a specialty in French, Mediterranean and Vegetarian foods. Ellen atte
