Definitely not who they used to be. No smells of fresh bread baking, awaking your senses in the morning. No. Wet concrete and cigarette butts are what we smelled walking to the door this morning. Greeted and seated by a nice-enough worker, we found a table near a window for the views. Our seats had crumbs on them, but we sat down any way. We ordered their $5.00 coffee - mine, a decaf that was extremely sour. Having to ask for refills while they were able to refill every other tables' without question. Our water was the same. No refill unless you ask for some after having to wait to get anyone's attention first. At least it was cold and the glass was clean? If I have to ask for more water or coffee, it's too late. Our meal was fine. I could have baked a crumbly wet quiche at home for much much less. My daughter got waffles that were waffles- nothing to brag about. The $6.95 4 strips of bacon though- I'll brag about $6.95 bacon because they were $6.95. When people go out to eat, it's primarily for the food but also for the experience. If I wanted "okay" food, I should have stayed home. At least my family would have treated each other like we were wanted or welcomed. I typically leave 22% or more tip- depending on the service. Today, I left 15% and that is saying A LOT. If it were up to my husband, he would have left nothing. Definitely not the same owners. How could it be? Nothing is the same except the name. Save your money- cook at home or go to Maggie's. At least they're sweet and attentive. read more

Wild Wheat - $90 after everything. Save your money, cook at home or go to Maggie's. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

We drove 30 mins to go check this restaurant out and I'm sad have to leave a bad review. When you drive in bad weather with snow coming down on a cold day excited for a hot breakfast and it's not good. It sucks plus we spent $70! I had the $26 crab omelette, daughter had the biscuits and gravy, husband eggs Benedict. All of us were disappointed even my 14 year old and she usually likes everything, I mean just no flavor at all. Even the potatoes weren't good. I watched the waiter talk for a long time with the other staff and I had to get up and remind him about my cappuccino. Just a disappointing experience. I remember I came here about 7 years ago and it was pretty good. So many places have changed after COVID. I left most of my food on my plate because it just wasn't good. The 2 stars were for the bakery items. Their baked goods that you can purchase at the counter are still good and our coffee was good as well. read more

I visited this cafe and had a very tasty meal! I ordered pancakes and eggs Benedict. Very well made and the server, Brenda, was very helpful and kind. The restaurant was very cute, clean and not overly loud. I would absolutely come back! read more

First time I enjoyed this spot was in 2016/2017 and it was one of the most delicious pancakes I have ever had. However, recently came by here in 2019, 2021 and in 2022 and each time I was hoping for the same quality of food. I have waited to write this review because I had a small inkling of hope for the food to get better, but it has been terrible. The service was not good, and I am stating this on a day that there were maybe 5-8 people in the diner. I really loved their baked goods, but those were not as good either. I am including photos of the first time I went there, and it was when I would have rated it great! however, it is no longer that. read more

Pros: food was very good and the staff was great. Cons: prices were far too high. $30 for an omelette is crazy. It was good, but not that good. It was so cold in there. The staff was even wearing puffy jackets. The heat wasn't on. There was WiFi but we were not allowed to have the password to use it. Conclusion: good food, nice staff. Too expensive, uncomfortable and needs WiFi. It doesn't work for me. I will not be back. read more

I was craving chocolate swirl cookies (my favorite from here). I saw a slice of carrot cake while browsing and decided to get that as well. When I was being rung up, I was told 2 chocolate swirl cookies + 1 slice of carrot cake is a total of $14. Upon further inquiry, a more experienced waiter corrected the price to be $2 per cookie (went up from $1.5 a few months ago) and $8 for the cake slice. Since it was already boxed up, I decided to get it. What a mistake! I ended up tossing the carrot cake because it tasted old and so dry. Service is good. All the cashiers are very nice read more

Been here before and received wonderful service. This morning however is a different story. Hostess was great and was seated immediately. She was friendly and I saw her smiling the entire time. But we just sat at our table for a good ten minutes before our server acknowledged us. When she did, I felt rushed to order and didn't feel welcomed at all. Looking around the restaurant, I don't feel that it is that busy and saw one other server and two others clearing tables. As for the food, if you come in hungry, you're not going to be when you leave. Portions are huge and very tasty. I came in hungry, ordered the meat omelette and couldn't finish it. Despite the service we received today, I will most likely come back. 2 star on the service, 4 star on the food. read more

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

Saw a video on TIkTok and when in the area it was a must to try out. It's on the corner of downtown Kent. Parking is a challenge. We arrived slightly before 0900 on a Saturday and it was a good thing because it got busy. We were a party or 7. We were seated right away. Order was taken - drinks first and the later food. The waitress seemed to be a manager because she dealt with our group with ease. I was super impressed with their mimosa & its presentation. Definitely worth the $15 price tag. All of us ordered the Eggs Benedict - with the exception of (1) selecting waffles & other selecting biscuits & gravy. Food was great. Service was good until it got busy. Ordered to go "desserts" (cannot go to a bakery & not partake) & an order of biscuits & gravy to go as I couldn't pull a teenager out of bed. Overall if you're in the Kent area, I would highly recommend giving it a shot! read more

Tried Wild Wheat for the first time 2 weeks ago with my dad on a Sunday morning. Paid $55 after tax, tip for 2 omlette plates, no drinks. After paying I went to the restroom where I saw a pile of rodent droppings. Men's room has an open drain directly in front of the urinal, and fomica wall cover is bulging. As I walked to the front counter I saw rodent droppings under the side counter and next to the pastry case. For the restaurant to be so heavily staffed, and for none of them to notice or clean this up on a busy morning was very concerning. I can only imagine what back of house is like. I've called 3 times and left my number, but no manager from the restaurant has responded. I hope they take this situation seriously. I won't be returning. read more

There was only one other table with customers. Not busy. Service was poor and the chicken club was dry and flavorless. Hardly no mayo and no seasoning in the chicken. So dry it was hard to swallow glad we had water. Used salt and pepper just to add flavor. We won't be back. read more

Foods always good here. They're usually super packed but we lucked out today and it was slow. Also bought the current hazelnut bread and got it sliced and some pastries to bring home. It was very relaxing without so many people. Very nice read more

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

Waitress had no class and was dirty and so was the table. Had to ask to get it cleaned when we sat down. Food was sub par and she didn't bring all our plates together. My son had to wait for his. Then my friend had a giant , long black hair in hers. Her hair is all silver so it wasn't hers. Yuk!!!! We should have known when the rating on the door for cleanliness said "OK". Anyway the place is a dump with bad service and bad food. On top of that it's really dirty. They comped the hair plate 50% which is real scumbag of them. I left no tip and that is the first time in my life I have done that. Don't go that dirty hellhole. There isn't one good thing I have to say about it and that's not like me. read more

Let's get straight to the point. Packed for Breakfast heard this place was fantastic but today....... Not sure what happened. I wanted to try their roasted beans in house. I got an Expresso! It was so bitter. I could not drink it. I usually don't send back coffee. This I had to. Our Server was very sweet and she even tried the Expresso herself, she agreed it was awful! Phew! It's not just me. Next I try the coffee. Which I should of know probably would be the same style beans as the Expresso. They were it was just as bad. Well just water for me. Next the food. My boyfriend ordered A Smoked Salmon Omelet. I got the Crab and Asparagus Omelet. We both requested to have them as scrambles! Yummy. It sounded so good. An hour later the food comes out it all looked good. My boyfriend's was good! Mine not so much. it was drenched in hollandaise sauce. It was just too much also the Crab didn't taste fresh at all maybe it was old and not stored properly. Unsure but my stomach was not happy later. I was hoping for a better experience. This place was recommended. I would like to say my server was great! She was running around and she was still doing a good job. We did take home a Cheese Danish and that was Fantastic!!!! read more

Wow, breakfast SERVED (with a side of anti-semitism?) We ordered two breakfast meals for delivery along with a loaf of rye bread. Whoever took care of our order thought that the Jewish rye bread meant it was appropriate to change my last name to Sandler as some sort of disrespectful joke. (The food has gone downhill since the business was sold a few years ago anyhow.) I both called the place and emailed to discuss and got zero response. I won't spend another dime here. read more

I had an absolutely amazing Roasted Pear and Gorgonzola Salad today at Wild Wheat. I went in excited to order an omelette, but read on their menu that breakfast is only served until 11AM and it was 1PM. I opted for the salad and it was incredible! I asked if I could add chicken and they happily obliged. All of the staff were super helpful and personable and the place was very clean, spacious and airy (a lot of natural light). I wish I could visit for breakfast tomorrow, but I am only visiting for the day. Next time! Thank you! read more

Haven't been here in ages since the new ownership turned it to trash but I REALLY wanted a danish for my birthday and there aren't many bakeries around. Yeah it's still bad. Worse now actually. The health department rating is "okay", one step from being shut down. Flies and fruit flies in the cases. The reconstruction is ugly. Maybe I'm too nostalgic for what once was but man I wish they just shut the place down instead of selling it to ownership that clearly doesn't care about running a good bakery or restaurant. Danish filling and fruit was nice enough but the dough, what I'm paying for, tasted stale and mild. UGHHH I miss Wild Wheat. read more

Amazing food. Scenery is a little dated, but service and food is well worth it. Went with a family of 14 and food was out pretty quick all things considered. read more

My four star rating is solely based on the incredible baked goods this place has. Our local business frequently gets a variety of bakery items from here and they are spectacular. Now. If I were rating lunch the other day, it would be a 2. I ordered the smoked chicken salad, my friend ordered a veggie sandwich with fries. Service: slow Food: subpar. Her bread was stale, she didn't eat it. Pretty sad for a bakery. Fries were cold. My salad was just-odd. Big heap of one type of lettuce (not "wild greens"), a tiny splash of unpleasant dressing over walnuts (not "toasted hazelnuts"). The chicken was very dry. I will say the few toasts on the side were delicious. Sad meal and we both left hungry. read more

Wild Wheat - Smoked chicken salad. Odd. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

I really like this places for the pastry and fresh breads! Very warm and welcoming place.

So I don't like giving bad reviews but it's only fair to the public and good for the ownership. I really can't say it was a bad experience but it definitely wasn't a good one. Service was really slow for an empty floor. Food was mediocre at best. Tables weren't prepared and needed cleaning as we were sat. It was also pretty unfortunate that they started mopping with an over powering Oder of cleaning product as we were starting to eat. Staff was nice and Friendly. Maybe it was a bad day. I visit from LA often and was hoping to find a local brunch spot. For me this is not the one. Any recommendations are much appreciated. read more

Wild Wheat - Dirty glasses. I didn't take a pic of the condiment bottles and plates but also filthy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

Ok! This is the breakfast spot to trust! (Sherrie and I had breakfast-brunch on the fly, during a very buzy day six weeks ago. Her seafood linguini was fabulous and so huge, she took leftovers home. My eggs-potatoes-sausage ws equally delicious.) That was then and this is now: I returned for the same breakfast yesterday (photo attached which I texted to Sherrie). She asked if they make Quiche Lorraine to go. Ha...what a ridiculous request! But jokes on me. Wild Wheat sells full Quiche Lorraines in the glass dish they bake in. A whole quiche cuts up into 8 slices, one slice is a serving because it's rich, moist, delicious, satisfying beyond your expectations. That is equivalent to $5 per serving (and the glass pie dish is free)! Keep it in plastic wrap and enjoy it all week. These two experiences makes us want to explore the whole menu! ... definitely a 5-Star culinary hot-spot! read more

It was our first time here. Place looks a bit old and not the cleanest in my opinion. There were lots of flies going around, some of them being huge (not exaggerating). The staff were very friendly though and accommodating. My wife and I both got an omelette each. And the prices on these are not the cheapest. I believe the crab one was $32 and mine was around $24. The serving size is huge and in my opinion, can feed two people. I'd suggest ordering one and just splitting it. They also had some pretty good freshly baked pastries. We got the chocolate croissant and blueberry danish. Definitely recommend. I would love to give more stars but I think the place needs heavy make over especially at the price point they're selling for. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here but my two friends wanted to go for their January birthday celebration. Staff is friendly, service is good. But our food took forever to come out. Then when it did come out it wasn't hot, like it had been sitting there for a while. I got the biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatoes. It was ok but just not that flavorful. Before leaving I grabbed my husband and I a cookie and it was so delicious! It made up for the breakfast. read more

Have been coming here since Mark opened. Was our go to breakfast spot especially when company in town, good food, good portions, good prices and clean. Worth waiting on the weekend. Not the case any longer since restaurant was sold. All has gone downhill, except prices which are higher than Seattle top end breakfast spots. Dirty, saw rat droppings in the open area, food just not the same, not terrible but not memorable. The breads from bakery still good the last time I grabbed some. read more

It's been awhile since I had eaten here. My friends and I decided to go and have coffee and a small bite to eat. This place is expensive...so expensive that we decided on just drinks. The drinks were pricey too but very good. I can't understand how they are staying in business with the amount of money they charge. The menu sounds delicious but I can't see spending $32 for an omelette or $15 for onion rings. read more

This was a very quiet place on an early Saturday morning. Food is plentiful. You could easily split the plate. The omelet was stuffed full of meat and cheese. Lots of potatoes on the side. Took my meal home. They accommodated my desire to try the stollen French toast as a side. Very friendly staff and the baked goods looked great but we were too stuffed to try read more

Today's visit was disappointing to say the least. The restaurant was not busy, even the hostess admitted they were slow. I had to ask for my order to be taken after waiting for awhile at least 10 min. Never did I get someone to stop back by my table, I had to refill my own water twice and only other help was I put my mask and key lanyard on did someone notice and bring my check over. My biscuits were very dry even with gravy. Potatoes overdone and hard. Egg was only good thing. read more

Cute corner pocket of a find. Breakfast ONLY on Sundays but, who doesn't LOVE a good breakfast spot? A bit pricier than I would've liked but the portions are shareable.

No thank you... Since the change in ownership, unfortunately, the food has plummeted. The menu in large may have stayed the same, however the recipes have not. This was a huge disappointed especially waiting 9mo before allowing myself a taste of gluten and being separated from many outings with coivd. My go-to menu item has been their roasted turkey cranberry aioli sandwich with house salad. The bread did not taste like rosemary garlic nor did the aioli sauce bring out other flavours than mayo. Balsamic dressing for house salad, runny with limited flavours. To sum it up - bland Another disappointment, during covid at my recent visit, there is no touchless menus and from what I observed they continue to use the paper menus repeatedly. They once drew me to the area, however it will now by a 'pass' for me. read more

It pains me to write this review because this place has always been one of my go-to breakfast spots. Admittedly, it'd be a while since I have been here due to covid but I went twice recently and both experiences were just not up to par. The first time it was super slow and my party was one of two tables in the restaurant. It was still impossible to track someone down! :( I also noticed that prices have definitely gone up and for the amount they're charging, the service and the food are just not up to par. The second time I went, the server forgot one of our items and we didn't even bother telling her, we just wanted to get out of there due to how long we were waiting for someone to check us out. Also, this was one of my go-to spots for a good latte and the lattes my friend and I had were terrible. Really sad about it but I'll be having to find a new breakfast place. read more

We were taken to this place while visiting family in Seattle. The wait was a little long but I'm on vacation so who cares. My salmon tostada was the redeeming factor for the wait. This will definitely be on my list to go to the next time I'm in town. Thank you for seasoning your food. read more

We once really loved this place, we moved away for a couple of years and have just recently moved back. We went to WW this past weekend and I was shocked at how much the prices have increased. Not just a little (which I understand in today's economy) but a lot. How in the world can you justify $20 for oatmeal? Portabella mushroom omelet (which was my favorite), $23 and the smoked salmon omelet $32 !? Service was a little slow but that's to be expected with good fresh cooked food. I don't mind paying for good food but c'mon man, this is just insane to me. Will not be going back unfortunately I simply cannot justify the huge price increases. read more

The service was great. Food was bland, ordinary, and overpriced. The ambiance was ok. The restaurant was very cold inside. I hate overpaying for food that is just ok. A plate of waffles with regular syrup was $17 for my son. Even my daughter who got bagel and lox, found it ho hum. Like what?!! Save your time and money. This place is not what it used to be. read more

Wandered in for a late Sunday brunch. Happy to say they weren't too crowded, food was tasty, and the staff was great. Hard to find a good brunch spot that's not in Seattle, or super crowded on the weekend. So happy, we were there shortly after noon and the place was only half full. Outdoor seating was available (a pleasantly warm day). I got the salmon omelette and it was chock full of salmon! Husband got the meat omelette filled with house made chicken apple sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions and cheddar cheese. The coffee was fresh and hot. A little pricey, but overall well worth it. Perfect place to grab a bite and have a chat read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past it but it's actually pretty decent ! I've only been here a few times but it has been good. However, it gets really busy so be prepared for that and also the ketchup taste old. But that could be my taste buds I always refrigerate my ketchup so maybe they don't. Anyways ! I would recommend if you're in the area. The quiche is a really good option and also very filling. Coffee is OK. Prices are not bad for how full you get ;) Seating is very limited and the dining area is like a huge fish bowl. So not really good for intimate setting. Good for family, friends but I wouldn't go on a first date here. read more

Came here for my bday and must be under new management, service was poor to say the least compared to previous years. We came for lunch and I ordered smoker salmon Rueben, house salad and an ice tea. $25 for the sandwich. The salmon was dry and unseasoned. You can taste the smoke but no salt and no aioli. The ice tea was over brewed and murky in color. I took the tea home To split it and make 4 ice teas out of it. I ate 1/4 of sandwich and took it home to see if I could somehow bring up back to life with flavor. My gf ordered the fish and chips and Cesar salad $25. She got 4 small pieces of fish and lots of fries. No lemon offered with neither the salad or the fish. When we tried to ask for one no one even looked our way. So I walked up to the register and they just asked if I wanted the check...so I took it and left. No one ever asked how are food was etc. We were only there for 30 mins... Sad to say don't know if we'll ever come back read more
