Fresh Loaves & Fresh Starts: R&A Sourdough Opens in Roscoe Village — Plus a New Co-Working Spot to Know

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village · March 13, 2026

Roscoe Village's culinary scene just got a delicious new addition. R&A Sourdough — the Ravenswood bakery that built a devoted Chicago following for its naturally leavened bagels and breads — has opened its third location right in the heart of the neighborhood at 2256 W. Roscoe St. The new shop brings the bakery's full lineup of sourdough bagels, breads, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches to a brand new neighborhood footprint, with online ordering available for pickup during morning and early afternoon hours. It joins R&A's original Ravenswood corner bakery and a River West location, marking the brand's continued growth across the North Side. The bakery was founded during the early pandemic by Rachel Mann Beltzman and Adam Beltzman, who turned a gifted sourdough starter into something truly special — and Roscoe Village neighbors are now lucky enough to have it just steps away.

And if you're looking for a place to plug in your laptop and connect with fellow neighbors today, the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce is hosting an OPEN Co-Working Day at Birch Road Clubhouse — happening today, Friday, March 13. It's the perfect low-key way to get out of the house, be productive, and meet some of the creative and entrepreneurial minds who make this neighborhood thrive.

Whether you're grabbing a sourdough everything bagel on your morning walk or settling in for a co-working session, Roscoe Village is serving up community one bite and one connection at a time. Check lakeviewroscoevillage.org for more details on upcoming neighborhood happenings!
