I was visiting from out of town and discovered this place. It would do well in the SF Bay Area where I live. Seems to be a very popular spot. Friendly service. Food and pastries were yummy. It seems to get quite busy, which may delay orders, but I didn't mind. I'll stop by again the next time I'm in town. read more

Best cinnamon rolls in the 5 state area! Incredible food, could have slightly better service as there aren't enough people to bus tables. Get there early as they tend to run out of some favorites like cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy. read more

What is Lawrence without Wheatfields? A Lawrence I don't want to know. They are busy but they have mastered the art of getting the line moving. The food is delicious. I thoroughly enjoy the beverages as well but the food is a different level. The Turkey Swiss and Apple sandwich is the Steph Curry of their Menu followed closely by the Breakfast Bowl add bacon (Lebron). Walking in feels like I have accepted a life where people still read newspapers and have time to drink a hot latte. I could not recommend this place more. WheatFields you have my heart and my wallet. read more

Love the bread here! Today, it was a tomato focaccia and a bowl of carrot soup, all super tasty. The portion sizes are always great for the price and no matter how crowded it looks, things move pretty fast. read more

I've been here a couple times recently and my family and I have really enjoyed the breakfast bowls. Service is pretty quick and always with a smile. And don't miss their pastries! Scones and cinnamon rolls are my fave! read more

This is my go to lunch stop. The salads are so good, I love that they throw some random chickpea or pasta salad on there. And the Croque Monsieur is my favorite sandwich in all of Lawrence. Goes so hard especially in the fall and winter! read more

It's definitely a cozy place to hang out at, nice and small. The workers are polite and food didn't take too long. Food is amazing, they use real ingredients from local farms around. They even make their own bread. Plates may look small but they do fill you up, so it's the best place to go to if you're really hungry. The restrooms are nice and clean. Bring a group along! read more

I ordered the Reuben sandwich and realized it didn't come with chips so I had to pay extra for those. The sandwich took a long time to make but it was very hot when it came out. It tasted great but the pastrami was so fatty, I thought it was bacon at first. Still it was very good. I also ordered their daily empanada which was sweet potato and black bean. The filling was delicious but the pastry was NOT light or flaky like a traditional empanada. It was very heavy and bread like. I didn't finish that. I also ordered some desserts to take home. We got two slices of cake, some macarons, and a lemon tart. The cakes were delicious. The lemon tart was not good. It was very runny and sour but not in a good lemony way. The flavor was just very weird. We didn't finish that either. For the most part it was a good but expensive experience. I'd go back but change some things. read more

Late lunch around 1:30 and was pretty busy, but was able to grab a table for a party of 5. Easy menu and sandwiches were pretty good. Quick bite, no complaints. read more

A friend came over and brought lunch with her. I had nervously ordered the chicken salad sandwich. I tried many different ones from other restaurants and they never tasted like my favorite from Rock a Belly in Manhattan, KS. This chicken salad was super delicious! Big chunks of chicken, celery and almonds for a nice crunch and a few dried cranberries for balance. All served on their fab wheat bread! Try it! You won't be disappointed! read more

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. read more

First timer to this established spot (new city, new job) and even the smells from the parking lot had me doing the happy food dance! I did some online recon prior to arriving so I knew I wanted the weekly lunch special (copied/pasted from website) - Butternut Squash and Apple Sandwich Butternut squash fritter, green apple, pumpkin-seed pesto, caramelized onions, and Manchego cheese grilled on Walnut Sage. $11.95 I have a life threatening tree nut allergy so the multigrain bread was suggested in place of the walnut sage - absolutely perfect combo of texture with the sunflower seeds in the bread that meshed well with the squash fritter and pumpkin seed pesto! Chefs kiss! Perfectly grilled with the kinda crunch that makes ya slap your mama and the warm tender inside of the sandwich and it's featured fall ingredients - nom nom nom Staff was kind and patient even for the time of day and long line. Can't wait for next week's special! read more

They were busy and the workers were overwhelmed but very helpful with picking a good sandwich. The food is super fresh. Great ingredients, and lots of delicious options. I was more impressed than I thought I'd be. The Rueben was good but I'd recommend taking off a bit of sauerkraut because it was a bit overpowering at first. The sourdough is so good! There was cute indoor and outdoor seating! read more

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. read more

Fantastic bread and baked goods. Easily the most delicious focaccia I've ever had! The meal of salad and focaccia is thick and full of toppings, but not too many, it's perfect, as is the mushroom melt sandwich! The chocolate coconut macaroons are huge, not too sweet but an ideal dessert. Kind of a lunch line setup, but you get through quickly. Have yet to be disappointed in their offerings! read more

They have consistently delicious food. It was super crowded but the staff remained friendly and efficient. Their bread is delicious

OMG! Delicious, delicious food at its local best. Where to start with WheatFields because there is so much to write about... the breakfasts, lunches, desserts or the bread. The bread, the bread... that yummy beyond compare homemade bread. If you only go to WheatFields for the bread, so it. There is nothing on earth like their bread. They have this amazing bread oven and the smells alone would leave you running toward this store. They have a variety of bread but they have their tried and true line. There is a cranberry walnut, a Kalamata olive loaf, rosemary, sourdough, steel cut oats, walnut sage, sourdough rye... it is all delicious. The sandwiches are incredible. They are big and melt-in-your sandwiches. The Rueben is the best you will ever have... I promise. I honestly don't know their secret but the sandwiches are amazing. I have had many of their breakfast dishes, too. They are all wonderful and should not be missed. Everything is fresh and delicious. One word of warning... this small place gets busy very quickly and it gets difficult to get a table or seating. You might have to wait your turn in line to get served and to find a seat. Trust me, it's well worth it! There can be a line to order, a line to get a table and a line at the bread counter. Your patience will pay off, though, when you get that delicious food. For the restaurant, this is a self-serve sort of set up. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They don't follow up on drink refills or anything like that. You are kind of one your own but it's a system that works for them. They don't really have the space for servers. If you want something a quick trip to the counter is all it takes. One of my fondest memories is last Christmas and my mom came to see me from Louisiana. It did not take her long to be a WF junkie. We got there just as they were taking bread from the oven. We purchased a loaf and sat in the car, in the parking lot eating this warm, delicious bread. We had butter and just kept watching it melt into the steamy bread. What a wonderful memory. read more

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. read more

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. read more

i wish wheatfields had more consistent vegetarian options. sometimes i want more than a grilled cheese, but it depends on whether the specials will be veggie or not. read more

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! read more

Friendly and quick service bakery cafe for a quick snack or meal with a cozy, old-school vibe. Homestyle type food options and variety of sandwiches to choose from. We stopped in for a small bite and tried the daily empanada, which was a vegetable chimichurri variety, with a flakey, light crust that wasn't too greasy or heavy, and filled with zucchini and cauliflower. read more

Food - ok (sandwich / lunch wise) - Bread is really good Service - good for a lunch shop. Ambiance - Good amount of chairs not really an Ambiance driven decor per say. Had the Beef and Cheese (with pickled onions and cheese) on cha-batta (special for the day) Ok sandwich, bread is of high quality, personally i don't prefer/like Chibatta but that's on me. Plenty of sweet treats here and I got a long boule of their Sourdough rye, Tasty bread with good flavor, structure (think layers and chewy-ness) and crust. If it weren't a 45 ish minute drive from KC, and if their sandwiches were better, tThen I would be back, especially if I lived in/around Lawrence.. They are located at 9th and Mass so takes a while to get to from the K-10 bypass out south. Construction (as of 9/10/2023 clogs 23rd back to K10, so just take Iowa back to I-70 or K-10. read more

Food: 5/5 This 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: 4.5/5 It'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: 4.5/5 The 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. read more

We were visiting the Kansas campus and heard about this place. The line was pretty fast for Sunday around lunch time. We found a place to sit inside. I had the Ciabattina with egg and cheese.

WheatFields Bakery Café - Our order "number" - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

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!). read more

Such a great bakery. The bread is absolutely delicious, fresh, and not a bad price. I miss living in Lawrence and enjoying a quick lunch at the cafe. The #11 turkey, Swiss, and green apple sandwich is my favourite, and I always try to recreate it at home! read more

I came here with a friend on a beautiful day fall day. It seem like this is a pretty popular place. We were able to sit outside. They did a great job of having everything marked for COVID-19 purposes. The roast beef sandwich was simple yet very delicious. I also got their German chocolate cake and coffee which I really enjoyed. I would love to come back here and try their bakery items. read more

Wheatfields is one of my "go to" favorites. Honestly, it is difficult to make a decision with the wide variety of options on the Wheatfields menu board. I have never had an unsatisfactory meal there. Salads and all the sandwiches are great and the portions are quite adequate. Service is with a smile at Wheatfields. Staff are very customer focused. Love their bread and pastry counter and nice to take something home. I like the quiet area for dining with friends. Very cozy. read more

Good food. Roasted red pepper Gouda soup was amazing. Kind of expensive but what isn't these days? Will be back!

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'. read more
