The Process

Crafted with Intention

01

Sourdough & Artisan Loaves

Every batch starts with a live starter, fed and nurtured daily. We ferment slowly — 18 to 24 hours — building flavor and digestibility that quick-rise bread simply cannot match.

Buttery Pastries

Croissants layered like tissue paper, danishes filled with seasonal fruit, and cinnamon rolls that redefine comfort. Lamination is a ritual here, not a shortcut.

Our Story

Baked on Chicago Ave,
Loved by Savanna

Tailored Brews was born from a simple conviction: that the best bread is made slowly, with ingredients you can name, and in a space where customers are treated like neighbors.

We opened our doors on 1811 Chicago Avenue with a deck oven, a starter we've tended for years, and a dream to give Savanna a bakery that takes its craft seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Today, every loaf, every pastry, and every item on our grocery shelves carries that same standard — honest ingredients, patient technique, and a welcome that feels like home.
