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

Never had a bad experience at Wheatfield's. Their bread, bakery and food offerings are so delicious. We come here for breakfast and lunch often and always have to have a cinnamon roll, better than any where else. Service is good but you get in line an order at a "window". The order takers are often a little grumpy and impatient, but that's LFK for you. They could use more people bussing tables because when it gets busy, tables are hard to come by. During this time, also expect to potentially share a long table with another party. The menu can change so don't get too attached. I still miss the salami sandwich on Kalamata olive bread. Hope one day they will bring it back. 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

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

A local bakery with amazing bread and food. I've never had a bad experience here other than trying to find a table (because it is so popular!). 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

WheatFields Bakery Café - 10/27-11/3 lunch special - Butternut Squash and Apple Special Sandwich - Chicken and Pear Chutney - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

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

WheatFields Bakery Café - Ruben and turkey cranberry relish sandwiches. - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

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

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

WheatFields Bakery Café - Focaccia - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

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

WheatFields Bakery Café - Caramel latte - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

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

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

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

Ordered turkey, Swiss and green apple which is always a favorite. Today VERY LITTLE turkey. Took back to counter and was told turkey portions are prepackaged so maybe the Baguette was bigger. Nonsense. Will not be back 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

WheatFields Bakery Café - #2. Three Cheese Melt with a pickle and a hot latte - 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

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

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. Wow, it was really good. Just the right size. My daughter had a butter croissant. Can't really miss there. Overall, no complaints. read more

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

This place is incredible!!! So unique and in a league of its own. A working bakery -- things being baked all day, right in front of you, and put out fresh when ready! Smells like heaven in there. Super creative foodie baked goods and lunch items on the menu. This place reminds me of Arezmeni Co-Op bakery in the Bay Area, California. Very similar feel and gave me nostalgia. But Wheatfeilds offers way more and I miss it already! We were visiting family, and in only 4 days, we went here three times lol. We couldn't stop... breakfast and lunch. So many delicious choices. We tried the Focassia of the day twice: once was potato, Gruyère, etc - forget, and one day was cherry tomatoes, cheese, garlic, I think. The foccasia bread is so moist and heavenly... fresh rosemary in it, perfectly light and salty. I'll dream of it. The berry cream fresh toast was a huge hit with my son. Amazing thin, rustic bread used, fresh whipped cream, berries, syrup. Not too sweet, delicious! The breakfast burrito we got twice because we were obsessed lol. Both times, incredible. A mixture of potatoes, sausage, salsa, cheese, chilis, with their amazing spicy salsa on the side. Great flavors! The oatmilk vanilla lattes and whole milk lattes were both great, both days. Spicy tuna melt was so tasty, but we didn't taste any spice. Maybe we are too used to spicy food. Lol next time I'll just put their salsa on it mmm. We tried the empanada of the day: zucchini and green chilis. Ehh... pastry dough for it was good, but insides lacked flavor. I don't think it included cheese for that one that day. Ham and cheese croissant was a huge hit! I believe it's Gruyère w ham- soooooo good! We had the quiche of the day. It's a round mini quiche w a pie crust around it mmm it was a 3 cheese that day and very creamy. My son loved it-- we all did. I'd loved to try more flavors. Cinnamon roll was good. Not my fav, but also we didn't receive it heated up- maybe because that one was a to go order. Would be better warm. It was large too! Great portion. Croissant breakfast sandwich w egg cheese and bacon (scrambled egg). You can choose egg type, choose meat etc. Was good! My dad loves the ebbs braided bread baguette and orders it often he said. Ambiance: Such a cute and cozy feel in there. Very simple, down to earth feel. Simple tables of all sizes and window stool seating. Two bathrooms that stay busy. Busy your own tables to the bin, but saw some workers pick up. Counter ordering for meals, otherwise pastries given when ordered if ready. The obvious community spot, where all types of people gather there, as well as many regulars, tables big and small, families, older folks, younger crowd, everyone! And it has something for everyone! I was intrigued by so many things on their menu, and wish I could've tried it allllll... was so hard to choose! Everything is so fresh The place filled up quick later in the morning. It was a busy holiday week, w many off work and school, so may have been abnormally busy. But we still got tables after a few minute wait. Parking across the street in the free lot. Workers were mostly friendly and helpful. One girl wasn't the friendliest both days. If I lived there, this would be my spot. The salads looked good. Quiche and salad combo for $8 was a great deal I saw. The mushroom melt sandwich sounded super good w foodie ingredients. I'm seriously crying that I don't live there to eat it all. Lol I miss you already, incredible Wheatfields! read more

Have tried many of their bread options: sourdough, multigrain, champagne, olive. They're all the best in town! But my favorite are their pretzels! They're the closest to the ones I used to have in Germany, pretzel capital of the world! read more

I will be frequently visiting Lawrence here on out due to my new doc office, so of course I had to Yelp the best spots for lunch (specifically coffee shops that served a lunch menu). There were several spots to choose from and I went here based off of reviews here and Google. I got a small pastry, a Apricot Walnut rugelach, a bite-sized crescent-shaped cookie made from a rich cream-cheese dough. It hosted a combination of raisins, walnuts, apricot jam, cinnamon and sugar. It was so delicious! The sandwich was bomb that I ordered! The Croque Monsieur Sliced ham, smoked Gouda, Swiss, and aioli, grilled on White Sourdough. It had this wonderful smokiness to it from it being grilled, the smoothness of the Gouda and aoli balanced the great crunch from the bread! I agree with the reviews, over 900 and 4.5 stars, it seemed solid and it was. I will have a hard time trying a new place and a different sandwich the next time I am in! read more
