You know how you see that fresh bread truck driving through France? People buying their weekly bread? Good news!!! We have one in Oak Park! BEST SOURDOUGH EVER! That’s what I started with. My family is in love with soup night! His tomato soup is next level. I love that I can pre order. I look forward to “ fresh sourdough Sunday’s” I love that they are a local family and will always support their small, delicious business.
Don’t even get me started on the olive tapenade!

I kept seeing photos of the bread rolls and soups from Wantz & Kneads through friends in my school community and HAD to try it myself. I showed my family photos of their food and they were dying to try some too! We picked up a rosemary sourdough roll, chicken and rice soup, and some bruschetta and it was hands down the best bruschetta and homemade bread we’ve ever had! The huge role was out in two days and our family is not that big haha. They also kindly delivered us a classic sourdough roll free of charge as it was out when we ordered from the sidewalk sale and that too is all we’ve been eating! This team is nothing but genius in the kitchen and the sweetest of people who really care about their clients. I could rave on about Wantz & Kneads but you should try it yourself and see!
