What People Are Saying About Red Hen Bread
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Red Hen bakes bread for some of the city's finest restaurants, but you don't have to dine out to sink your teeth into a fresh-baked loaf. Founded by Art Institute grads and modeled after small European bakeries, Red Hen sells (and sells out of) a couple dozen reasonably priced loaves each day. Standards include baguettes, caraway rye, olive rosemary boule and challah, along with more exotic offerings such as walnut currant batons and Pullman brioche.

Best Bread inthe City!
by sindra5 at Citysearch
I adore Red Hen and I am very picky about my bread. I just finished the yummiest sandwich from there and cannot wait to go back for more. Really worth the extra few pennies that it costs.
- Pros: Great Sevice, Amazing Breads, Lots of Choices
- Cons: Too far from my house

Good Bread - Come Early
by ocrowiii at Citysearch
Good bread, but come early. They are often out. Service can be good and sometimes snotty and alouf. Hip attitude not good for business.

Best bakery in town
by jlr_1974 at Citysearch
The bread, coffee drinks and service here are phenomenal. It's just too bad they don't have a seating area (so you have to take the sandwiches and so on to go). The scones, bagels and baguettes are great, but I advise the garlic ring, which comes with a garlic paste in the middle. Plus, the service is always super friendly, and the folks who work there are great with recommendations if they're featuring a new item.
The Details on Red Hen Bread
Know Before You Go:
The menu of breads is extensive, but not everything is made everyday. So if you have a particular craving for, say, a goat cheese and herb croissant or raspberry cheese danish, stop by and place an order a day or two in advance.
