Brunch here was such a great experience! The menu had plenty of tempting options, and everything we ordered came out beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The portions were satisfying, the food was fresh, and there wasn't a single thing we tried that disappointed. I also really enjoyed the overall atmosphere. It has a comfortable, upbeat feel that works perfectly for brunch, whether you're stopping in for a casual meal or getting together with family and friends. The staff were welcoming and made us feel taken care of throughout our visit. It's always nice finding a restaurant where the food, service, and atmosphere all come together, and this place definitely delivered. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious brunch and a great dining experience. Definitely adding this one to my list of places to return to! read more

OVERRATED and POOR OWNERSHIP! Went to enjoy a Sunday brunch with a friend. Ordered a build your own breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage and pancakes. Food was brought out with the wrong eggs. No biggie. I politely informed the food runner of the error and he took the entire plate back. not to mention, wasn't even offered water refills. Not once. After about 9-12 mins, I still didn't have my food so I asked. When it was brought out it was extremely cold. when I told the younger waitress, she said, she wasn't sure why she offered me a pastry or to remake my food. I declined both as I did not want to continue waiting even longer since my friend had already finished her food by the time I got my second plate. instead, I asked if a manager was available, which I was told no shortly after my friend and I over here the young waitress talking about me and the food issue to her coworker. Inappropriate, I was given a card and told to call tomorrow for a manager. I called the restaurant the next day around 1 PM and spoke to the owner. Before I could even talk, he told me he already heard what happens and offered me a free pastry. I asked if he would be willing to hear my side of the story, as I was explaining to the story, he would continue to interrupt and over-talk me. He told me it's my word versus their word as far as the coworker talking about me in the corner. His only solution was to offer me a free pastry. I told him I didn't want a free pastry that I wanted him to take notes of the food issue and the inappropriate behavior of his staff talking about their patrons in front of them. The owner continued arguing with me and telling me he's not polite he's a matter of fact, and if I don't like it too bad, there's nothing he could do. I can see why the ratings have gone down since the new ownership. I will not be back. PS- Dont sit in the Russian girls section. Unless you like low end customer service and to be talked about. read more

Came here at around 11:30 and to my surprise, it wasn't busy at all. Usually see a lot of people waiting outside whenever I drive by. To be honest, the place didn't live up to the hype. Was disappointed with the service and food. This place was giving a glorified ihop. I got the eggs florentine, my husband got the salmon eggs Benedict. Large portion but the flavor was okay. Not really worth the price. If you are a Blood Mary fan I definitely skip it in this place. Was extremely disappointed by the size of the drink. Matter of fact, I thought I was being punk'd lol. Our server came by twice. One to drop the food and the second to grab payment. It might have been an off day or something but I don't think I'll be back. read more

We were a table for two. We got seated pretty quickly. We got our orange juice and coffee. And got our order placed in a timely manner after a few minutes of reviewing the menu options. Our food/dishes came out at a reasonable time, not too long, and we noticed that the table sitting outside (who got seated after us) got their food at the same time as ours. Initially our server came by five minutes after we got our food, but never came back to see if we needed anything else. I finished my coffee and was looking to make eye contact with one of the three waitresses, but it was difficult. The restaurant was somewhat busy perhaps 70% at capacity. I raised my hand three times and did not get the attention of two waitresses. I then got the attention of one waitress and she nodded to confirm she made eye contact, but she never came to our table. I finally got the third waitress' attention after 20 minutes and she had somewhat of a distressed look (no smile). And I asked kindly with a smile if I can get more coffee and a box to go. She came back a few minutes later with both. The portions of the food was average. The price of the plates were higher than average. The service was poor. I am not saying that to be critical, but perhaps they were short staffed. But the atmosphere did not feel friendly or welcoming. There are other breakfast/brunch options in the area (such as Maggie's, ETC), and I do not feel that I would return to this restaurant for a while (if ever). Service is just as important as the meal. I am saddened that my first visit to Wild Wheat did not leave a good impression. read more

Walked in and were seated immediately. Followed quickly by getting water. Our server was super pleasant, attentive and patient. She brought our drinks very quickly. We ordered, our food came out hot and fresh. The crab Benedict was devine. Their home fries looked a little under light so i was worried but boy was i wrong. They are packed with flavor. The menu looks huge but it's not really. They know their specialties and they do them really well. The restaurant was super clean and all the staff is helpful. Overall great breakfast spot. read more

I've been here twice and both times I got the Blintzes out of nostalgia. You don't really find blintzes on menus often, so if I find it on a menu I'll almost always go for it. I really enjoy this spot and it feels like a bakery breakfast spot I used to work at when I was in my early 20s. It's definitely not a trendy spot, but clean and maintained. Both times I went with family and could enjoy a relaxing chat without feeling rushed or urgency to leave since the location isn't super busy. At some point I'll probably try something besides the blintzes, but maybe not since they're really enjoyable. read more

Wild Wheat - Grandma Minnie's Blintzes (Full) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

We love coming here for breakfast. Something to keep in mind... They're only open until 2:30 PM and closed on Tuesdays. There is plenty of parking nearby. We have tried so many things and they have all been awesome. The crab and asparagus omelette is incredible and my wife loves the bagels. Our servers are always attentive and our great about answering any questions we may have. When we're done with our meal, we usually pick up either a pie or a loaf of bread to go. Everything is incredible. If you're in the Kent area they're right downtown and I highly recommend wild wheat bakery read more

I used to frequent this place with family so many years ago and after visiting recently, I remember why we stopped. This place used to be packed and busy from open to close. I was surprised by the empty seats at the location. The place wasnt as welcoming despite the place looking the same as it did before. I ordered the crab benedict. It was supposed to be on an English muffin. It was on two pieces of stale bread. The crab was just okay. My friend thought the bagel wasnt bad though. Its just a bagel with cream cheese. We also ordered a mocha with two shots. Tastes like a decent cup of coffee. Our server was nice though. Left us alone and didnt bother us. You have to pay at the front to close out your bill, which we didnt mind as we spent a good time here catching up. Overall, it was ok. Maybe its the fact that the food safety on the place was rated as okay and that threw me off, but comparing the quality years ago to now, to me it isnt the same. read more

Wild Wheat - Eggs Florentine and Iced Vanilla Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

We stopped by Wild Wheat to pick up some pastries after noticing this bakery while drinking boba nearby. This place seems to be more of restaurant, with bakery items in a couple of small cases near the front counter. Plain Croissant ($5) - The lamination and proofing are very suspect, resulting in overly large air holes rather than a consistent honeycomb structure. The bake is a little too hard, so the crust is dark golden brown and the interior is dried out quite a bit. Finally, the rolling of the croissant dough is not the best, creating a pastry that's kind of lumpy and off center. It's not a very good croissant at all unfortunately. I guess it tastes fine though, so that's something positive. (2/5) Almond Croissant ($5) - The croissant base is the same as above, but then they fill with almond frangipane and top with sliced almonds. The frangipane filling is somewhat gritty, sweet with great almond flavor, but has bit of strange taste in addition, like raw flour. The way they roll the croissant is also a little suspect since it results in a large nubbin on the side. (2/5) Marionberry Cheese Danish ($5) - This one's not bad. Very smooth cream cheese filling with plenty of tart yet sweet berries. The hard bake on the crust works well in this pastry to balance against the more moist filling/topping. (3/5) Ham & Cheese Croissant ($5) - This croissant is laminated in very thick layers, with the top being more like brioche rather than croissant. It's quite buttery in taste, with the ham flavor penetrating throughout. It has lots of cheese, kind of funky in taste and nice. If I think of this as a ham & cheese pastry, rather than a croissant, it's actually pretty good. (4/5) Chocolate Scone ($5) - This is a very bready and dry scone. Good number of chocolate chips on top I guess, but otherwise kind of meh. (2/5) Overall I found the pastries to be below average to average. Perhaps the breads and/or the meals are better here? read more

I don't love this place but there are two reasons its hard to go there. Food is delicious, that's not a problem. The portions are WAY too big and as such cost a LOT! 3 of us for brunch? $110 before a tip. No dessert. Nuts. The next issue, the noise. You need to yell to talk. The acoustics are horrible! Its not a big place, but it needs some work. Muchvas I like the choices, they need child and elderly portions on the menu. And some soundproofing. I am reminded why I had not been there for 3 years... read more

They had some cheap day old bakery items in a large bag for $3 when I went there for lunch on a local event there. Lots of bread for $3, with cheese and jalapeños too. It wasn't hard or anything either. Great value for that. read more

We used to love this place. Was a go-to with the kids on the weekends. The past several times we went was such a disappointment we just stopped going. The service is consistently poor and it's so expensive now. The food itself is good- we always get omelettes, but they charge like luxury hotel prices for being in Kent. They used to be packed all the time and now it's always dead which I think means other people feel the changes as well. The vibe is just not the same. Sad this place isn't the same and we've lost the Sunday family tradition. read more

Okay, so this place was recommended on a trip. We got the Blintzes with marrion berry and the biscuits and gravy. Both were absolutely 10/10 like so insanely good we were practically silent while we ate our food. The best breakfast I've had in a long time. Nice ambiance, and the other breads bagged there looked really good. Quick and nice service. read more

Delicious. Loved my Italian sub sandwich. The baguette was fabulous and wish I could have had room for dessert

Clean, well-spaced restaurant with friendly staff. A solid menu with some uncommon options. Portions are gargantuan, which I tend to find a bit off-putting. However the food is tasty, and one can always share or take the leftovers home. My fellow diners ordered omelettes which they really enjoyed. The crab omelette was generously filled. The latte was good, but it was served like a cappuccino. A double shot was the perfect amount of coffee to milk ratio. My vegan plate was good with a few surprises. The sautéed veggies were topped with fresh spinach and sprinkled with Kalamata olives which really elevated the dish. The home fries were nicely crispy, which I love. but could have been warmer.The falafel (garbanzo patties on the menu) were flavorful but cold. The winner of the combo was the helping of beans - creamy with a terrific flavor. I'm glad I ordered some bread to sop uo thé broth. We ordered bread and pastries to go. I opted for coconut cake. A nice flavor, but the cake was somewhat dense and on the sweet side. The sugar cookie with sprinkles was cute and not overly sweet. I look forward to trying their sandwiches. The bread is really good. read more

After paying for my meal, the young man who seated us and checked us out, offered to make a complimentary latte for me. Who's the best I've had in forever.

Wild Wheat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

We have dined at Wild Wheat several times over the years and have always enjoyed it, even thought of it as a local gem however haven't been in some time. We went recently dined in on a holiday Monday and were very disappointed!! First, the state of cleanliness was very bad! The dining room needs a deep cleaning! Thick dust was observed on the worn, paint-chipped chairs and in low traffic areas of the floor; many pictures were hanging crooked on the walls; grime was visible on the walls and floor; the bathroom smelled heavily of urine. When a public space is this dirty and neglected, one wonders how unsanitary the kitchen might be! Service wasn't attentive - never had our drinks refilled or even checked on to ask how things were. The food was good and portions large but prices high even by current standards. Also it was a bit sickening to sit in the dining room. The owners and management need to work hard to improve from the OKAY rating from the Health Department and do some deep cleaning to return to the special restaurant it was years ago. We do not plan to return at this point. read more

OK, so I did return, still dreaming of the good desserts I've had there before. This time I was noticed and asked for my order as soon as I walked up to the counter. Told the clerk I needed time to see what was available. Clerk came back in 2 minutes again asking, almost demanding my order, as if they were in a hurry. I quickly ordered two items though I would have liked more time. The chocolate croissant was not good. Not light and flaky, instead dense and chewy layers surrounded by large air holes, with chocolate lumped in two spots. Over a week later I still have some because it is just not appealing. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places and restaurants in Kent! They make their pancakes with buckwheat and they're absolutely delicious. There's not too many other breakfast options in the area so it gets SUPER crowded on the weekends. The restaurant itself is super inviting, with large windows and natural lighting. I haven't been there for lunch in a very long time and would love to see what they have now. read more

Lovely brunch spot in downtown Kent. A friend recommend this place to me when I first moved to WA. She said her out-of-town family LOVES the raspberry jam, enough to request to have it shipped! That tidbit was enough to intrigue me plenty to try. I've since been a fan and have shared a meal with friends and family many times over the years. The portions are hefty, the food is fantastic and not overly salted or seasoned. Last visit I had their mushroom omelette and goodness, was it delicious! It was FILLED to the brim with perfectly sautéed mushrooms. The house potatoes are also delectable. Each potato chunk is crisp and tender. And their bread? So good. I haven't had a piece of toast from here I didn't like. Add a little (or a lot) of butter and their famous jam and you're in for the best food baby nap in the afternoon. Service is consistently great as well. This last visit their lunch menu wasn't available and service was a little slow - but my group and I were there at 1 pm (they close at 3 pm). My guess is they may have been short staffed. Otherwise, everything was still good. Their mushroom omelette again was *chef's kiss* Overall, if you're wanting a sure to satisfy brunch spot, I highly recommend Wild Wheat. read more

This is a very home like place in a quaint part of town. Reminds me of a family business that grew over time. Very casual environment with plenty of seating. We arrived around noon on Sunday and it was busy but we were able to be seated right away. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They had a nice looking bakery area with lots of options. We ordered coffee which was much better than I expected. Also the pancakes and challah French toast. The French toast had almond paste in it along with cinnamon powder. The pancakes had buckwheat and were fluffy and tasty. Overall our experience was very good and we definitely will return. Enjoy! read more

Went early right at Sat morn opening time; their display was clearly not ready. A lot of empty spots. No pain au chocolat, one last loaf of white bread. Must be yesterday's. But I bought it because I came for that specific item to compare it with other places. $7! Croissants were unremarkable. $5.95??! Probably not returning. This is the first time I was able to park there; most days it's impossible to to park in that area anyway. read more

Well....this place has obviously changed hands. Horrible all around (service, food, lack of cleanliness, etc.) i'm pretty sure keeping things clean and filled is very low on their list... as is the quality of food.

It was a last-minute pick for Mother's Day brunch. And it did not disappoint. Maybe because it's off the busy areas, but we had only a short wait for a table for 6. We had called in advance and they do not take reservations, but it was early enough and we were expecting the worst for a special day like this. A table was prepared promptly when we arrived, and we were seated shortly. A round of coffees and the usual favorites-- moist fluffy pancakes, really generous serving of tasty crab omelette, eggs Benedict, pancakes, French toast. Sides were toast with house made jam and butter, and potatoes cooked perfectly. A little on the pricier side by the servings for one would be good for two hungry persons, or two meals. Service was warm and prompt. The inside was not too noisy for a busy morning. Overall we are so happy we picked this place on what would have been a stressful bush meal. We'll be back for sure. read more

(at least) day old pastries/cakes/tarts packaged in clamshell containers and sold for full price. I'm all for free enterprise economics and charging what the market will bear, but charging $8.95 for a loaf of bread that travels less than half a block from oven to counter, when I can buy an identical loaf for $5.99 at Fred Meyer or $6.50 at Colello's farm stand in Port Orchard, fifty or so miles from the oven, is way out of control and beyond what my personal market will bear. Sorry, WW. Ya lost me. read more

So many things to note. This place has really gone down hill over the years. 1st thing that struck me was the "OKAY" food rating in the windows they recieved in May 2025. 2nd thing is how much more expensive it is to dine inside then doordash. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Literally would be cheaper to DoorDash everything and eat on the patio outside. *Ex. 1 pancake is $6.95 but only $5.50 on DoorDash. And $15.50 items are $18.95 when dining in. Also, extra maple syrup is $4? A 16oz Latte comes with a single shot and is $8? Flavors cost another $1. Milk substitute is another $2!? Price gouging left and right. For a place that barely passed inspection. Service is nothing special either. Especially for $23 stack for 3 pancakes. Idk how this place is still open with plates like Lezette, Sweet Notes, Macrina, and many more within a 10 minute drive. Haven't been here in close to 2 years and now I definitely remember why. Doubt I'll be coming back unless it's to grab a quick pastry and go. Which I'm sure is cheaper if I just order it delivered to my door. Disappointed. read more

What happened to this corner restaurant/bakery in downtown Kent? This used to be so charming and the go-to place to have breakfast or lunch with friends! I hadn't been in a few years, and all of that has changed. First thing I noticed was the food safety rating had dropped to "OK." Second this was the dirty entry mat (Weather has been rainy, but looked like it hadn't been cleaned or swept for weeks.) The flooring has been removed to reveal raw, stained and cracked concrete. It was fairly busy and super noisy! We were seated right away, which was nice, and the staff were friendly, but the menus were ragged and hard to read through the worn "clear" plastic. Prices have skyrocketed (like everywhere) and though there are lots of items, many of them are so similar it's hard to choose. They used to have amazing muffins, but now the bakery case is half full of cakes and half pastries & cookies that looked to have been purchased elsewhere. The hot water for my tea was not quite hot enough, and the mugs are small. The food came promptly, but somehow my eggs and toast were both just warm... butter didn't even melt. The scrambled eggs were dried out and crumbly. The breakfast potatoes (a mountain!) were not evenly cooked; little burnt bits (scraped from the pan bottom?) were mixed up with undercooked big chunks. Fortunately there were so many, I could pick out the best. My partner's omelette came out fine, but had the same potato issue. The wait staff kept the coffee topped up, which was nice. All in all, I won't be back. Super sad to lose this gem. read more

When I traveled to the Northwest this used to be a regular stop. The vibe was relaxing, cozy but not sedentary. The bakery selection used to be amazing with an ample selection. The food was always on point. A few days ago we had breakfast and it was disappointing. The place looks a bit jagged and used. The restaurant now has a weird vibe, as though it's cold and without personality. The bakery display case appeared to be broken on one side so everything was stuffed into one unit and honestly it just didn't look fresh or inviting. The staff was nice but transactional. At the counters. Our server was very pleasant and to be honest, was the only reason why we didn't leave. The food was very pricey, 32 bucks for their top omelette but the portions were quite large. It competed with breakfast pricing that we found in Seattle's finest restaurants, which isn't a bragging point. My friends were all asking me "are you sure this is the same place you loved?" The raisin bread we were served was a bit old and crumbled apart. The portable mushroom omelette was delicious. Potatoes were great. I might consider this place again but I would probably pass for another. I want to love it. I just couldn't find it during this trip. read more

Wild Wheat - Omelettes and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

Used to really love it here, went today and the food was okay and I was kind of shocked at the prices. $20 for a bowl of oatmeal and $33 for a meat omelette is kind of crazy, more expensive than some of my favorite Seattle restaurants. Service has always been a little on the slow side, but that never bothered me. I don't think I'll be going back or recommending until there's a refresh of some sort. It's a bummer because I used to love it here! Not sure what happened. read more

This is a long standing restaurant in downtown Kent. We haven't been for years so thought we'd meet up and try it. It was a crowded weekend morning. We were able to get a table right away, but we had to wait awhile for drinks and service. I ordered the Wild Wheat Omelette Breakfast. It was good, nothing really stood out, standard omelette. I probably wouldn't come back. I thought our food was pretty expensive for breakfast fare and service was just okay. read more

5 stars for bread!!! I am unable to provide stars for anything else on the menu and actually eating here because it is way, way too expensive! Eggs Benedict costs $24. Ummm eggs Benedict on the waterfront in Kirkland at Beach House costs $15! I'm not understanding why it's so expensive at Wild Wheat. HOWEVER, I am still giving it 5 stars for the bread loaves because they are super delicious and I enjoy them. I also had a pastry once that was some kind of blackberry tarte that was very yummy! The rest of the food is probably good too but people in a different tax bracket than me will have to be the reviewers on that LOL read more

The place is clean and well staffed. The food was good but not exceptional. Yet, their prices are high. The 2nd visit I just ordered sides. I wish their prices weren't so high.
