We had a weekly ritual: on Monday afternoons, we’d go to Sugar Beet to pick up a fresh loaf of Publican Quality Bread (PQB), delivered every Monday around 1 p.m. But that ritual is coming to an end because around the beginning of November, this outstanding bakery is going to have a place in Oak Park.PQB will soon begin operations at 211 Harrison Street, in the space once occupied by Rare Bird Preserves. The 1,600-square-foot bakery is undergoing minor renovations, adding large windows overlooking the kitchen to enable guests to have a “behind the scenes” peek into bread production. Inside is seating for 20; outside, seating for 40.
