Welcome to SALT SPOON BAKEHOUSE. Born out of a series of pop-up dining events by chef and owner Eric Reeves, the Bakehouse is an extension of his passion for freshly baked, handmade bagels and breads. Reeves was born in New York and bagels from the “shop down the street” became a staple on the breakfast table early on. When his family relocated to Chicago, his father had to stay behind to sell the house in a tough economy, and to send a little bit of love he would overnight packages of fresh bagels for the family to enjoy. Bagels have always reminded Reeves of home and he hopes to share the same thoughtfulness and love with you that his father shared with him… no need to go all the way to New York!
SALT SPOON BAKEHOUSE operates exclusively as a pop-up with offerings being made via email invitation and social media announcements. Sign up for our Guest List, follow us @saltspoonchicago, or send an email to info@saltspoon.com for order inquiries.
SALT SPOON BAKEHOUSE will also offer a selection of naturally-leavened, sourdough breads. Springy, chewy, herbed focaccia, perfect for sandwiches. Rich, buttery, pull-apart dinner rolls to share with the family. Hamburger buns for your cookouts. Sourdough English muffins with more nooks and crannies than you can count. Everything made by hand and baked fresh. Selections will change regularly, so keep a keen eye out for announcements and pop ups.
Our classic bagels are made with high gluten flour and are boiled for a signature bagel chew with a crispy crust. Every one of our bagels is painstakingly hand-formed with an emphasis on consistency. Choose from all the classic toppings - plain, sesame, poppy, onion, garlic, and our house-blend of everything spice.
Our specialty bagel flavors rotate with seasonal and creative inspiration. Some of our most popular staples like Cacio e Pepe and Garlic & Dijon will always be available, while others like Blueberry Crumble, Cranberry Orange Blossom, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, and more will come and go.
Our house-cultured sourdough starter feeds the fermentation of all of our handmade breads. Options like focaccia, buttery dinner rolls, black sesame loaves, and baguettes will be available on a rotational basis.
From nova salmon lox, to jams and jellies, to specialty cream cheeses, cultured butter, even cold-brewed coffee, all of our accoutrements are made in-house.
