WheatFields Bakery Café

This needs to be your go to brunch spot. Tasty food, speedy service. Love the big community table in the middle.

SO SO GOOD!! Every sandwich we had was amazing. I highly recommend the spicy tuna and chicken salad. I want to come back and try everything else on the menu. I love that they have rotating specials.You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. We got our food fairly quickly despite the restaurant being packed. This is a great, clean space to study with a few outlets available. The restaurant was super busy when we came around noon but cleared out towards closing time. I would recommend coming at an off hour if you are planning on taking up a table to study at.

Disclaimer: the bread and sandwiches at Wheatfields are fantastic and I would definitely recommend those. Their desserts aren't quite the same in quality and taste profile.My friends and I got two cake slices and a few other bites, and everything was just a little bit underwhelming. The Tiramisu Cheesecake started falling away from the crust at the back, which was soggy. The Black Forest Cheesecake had better crust and stayed together, but wayy sweet and not as chocolate-y as we were hoping for. Overall, still love grabbing a quick lunch at Wheatfields, but will pass on the desserts next time. If you're coming for the first time, it can be hard to get a seat inside depending on what the lunch rush looks like, so come a little early if you want to snag a table.

Good service good food plenty of space fora larger group. Friendly stafff and great coffee.

This was my go to college lunch spot when I was going to KU. The must try in my opinion is the number 16 ham and roasted pineapple. They add pickled onion and jalapeño cream cheese, and it's grilled on their house white sourdough. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything that you order here because it's all made in house. The services always super fast. You order the counter and they bring it straight to you at your table. I always make an effort to stop by when I'm in town since I've moved away.

I wish this place was closer to us so we could try everything on the menu. We went to Lawrence recently and we stop in this place while walking around. My husband ordered lunch while I bought some bread. The three cheese melt was so tasty. The chile verde soup of the day was outstanding. The coffee we ordered was also surprisingly good. The walnut bread was delicious. The staff were friendly. The place was busy but they were very efficient. We liked the casual vibe that place had.

Great little breakfast café! Another reviewer referred to it as an upscale Panera, which fits- it's got Roasterie café, yummy looking pastries, and delicious food- we both had the breakfast burrito and it was FABULOUS (the sausage chunks are plentiful & juicy!). Service was great. Atmosphere is peaceful with nice piano music.They are also *mostly* low waste for dining in- ceramic dishes and tea pot, glass water glasses. They did make my partner's iced coffee in a plastic cup (unnecessary since we were dining in), and the to-go cup for his second coffee was styrofoam. I'd love to see them make a switch to plastic-free/styrofoam-free alternatives. Otherwise... Great little gem of a place (just bring your own cup!).

Food: 5/5This was one of my favorite lunch spots in high school and a local Lawrence gem. I always get the three cheese grilled cheese and a latte. You get to select three cheeses from a lengthy list for your grilled cheese. It comes on their freshly baked sour dough and services with a pickle. It's just as good as I remember! Before high school, I switched from chai lattes to regular ones, but both are well-made and delicious. They are always packed, so you know the food is excellent and worth waiting for. Service: 4.5/5It's a bistro-style restaurant, so you order at the counter and then find a seat. The food service is fast, and the folks are friendly. You don't interact much with servers, but you can see people running around and working hard. Atmosphere: 4.5/5The building has beautiful and unique tile work inside and out. It's a small corner space, but they make the best use of their areas for seating. The space is clean and the theme is timeless. Hacks:1. There are two lines, one for the bakery items and one for food. Make sure you are in the right one.2. Baked items are first come, first served and are baked fresh daily. Their bread is incredible, so get in early to get your favorite baked goods.

Excellent bread made fresh and you can tell my roll was crusty outside but tender inside. The Kalamata Olive load is outstanding! My husband had the spicy tuna melt (#1) - it was very big, tasty and filling. We ordered the Chicken sandwich to take for my son on a fresh baguette (#5). My husband finished with a half chocolate dipped coconut cookie. Excellent staff so friendly and efficient. Good interior with plenty of seats and fee outside too!

Never again. We drove to eat here from another city. Ordered at 10:30am and at 11am one person at our table did not have their order, a sandwich. On asking, being advised they will not fill a lunch order until 11am, although others around us had their order. The lady at the register who took money, and the woman who brought a refund and slapped it down on the table, were inconsiderate and extremely rude. In this economy, $40 + tip is expected but to be overtly unbothered without regard, takes an extreme set of skills by the staff at WheatFields. I will be sure to not recommend this bakery to friends, providing details of the service and treatment. Each person I tell, will tell ten people they know, and before long everyone will know there is no value in spending money at WheatFields Bakery Cafe'.
