At Button Bakery, every loaf of bread tells a story. Founded in Evanston by Oran Rankin and Sara Rathbun, our bakery is rooted in community, tradition, and care. Before the sun rises, Oran is already at work—measuring, mixing, and tending to dough with the gentle rhythm of music playing and coffee brewing.

His love for baking is more than a craft—it's a connection to ancient traditions, to nourishment, and to the people who gather around the table. With natural sourdough culture, stone ovens, and a deep respect for the process, each bake is a tribute to the timeless art of breadmaking.

Oran and Sara set out to create more than a bakery. They’re building a hub for their new neighborhood—where warm bread and warm hearts go hand-in-hand. Whether you're picking up a pretzel, a pastry, or your favorite sourdough, you're part of something special. You're part of Button.
