Wheat's End Cafe & Bakery (NO DINE-IN)

Shrimp po'boy and chocolate chip pancakes are delicious! Generous portions. I am not gluten-free and just decided to try this place out. Very happy I did! Some of the best pancakes I've ever had. The pancakes are probably a better deal than the shrimp sandwich but both were good amounts of food 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 excited to come back and try more items on the menu.

I was tempted to give it 4 stars just because it’s takeout-only but I won’t, because everything else was so great! I ended up ordering through Grubhub since there’s no dine-in option, and it would’ve been a waste to bring it back to my hotel. That said, as someone with celiac, it’s incredible to be able to order anything off the menu without worry. The variety is amazing so many tempting options, it was hard to pick just one meal, drink, and treat. I went with the gyro lunch, the signature popover (I’ve been craving a croissant and have been on a state-to-state hunt!), and the ginger juice, which was pure ginger with no added sweetness. Everything was excellent

We ordered 3 things and they were all incredible. We had the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes, Blueberry Belgian Waffle, and the Cheddar Biscuit and Gravy. My boyfriend's favorite was the Biscuit and Gravy. Mine was the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. We would definitely eat here again to try even more of the goodies.

(tldr at the end) About a week ago, I ordered several items to try, with mixed results. In descending order from best to worst: The falafel? So good. The bread was so nice and chewy, and the falafel pieces themselves were almost perfect. Could have been fried just a bit longer, but so good. It came with fries, and they were nice and crispy (so rare to get with a wheat allergy). This was my favorite item. 4.75/5 Second, the lemon poppy seed pancakes: a nice big serving size, and the lemon glaze added a lot. However, and this is on me for not understanding from the description, but the pancakes themselves did not taste of lemon at all. There was supposed to be lemon zest on top, but I only tasted the lemon when I used the glaze. Still, very good. Almost perfect if the pancakes themselves had

Gluten Free safe haven in Chicago! Entire menu is gluten free with very clear options for dairy free. Everything is full of flavor and many options to also purchase frozen gluten free bakery/bread in addition to enjoying it fresh off the menu. It's definitely a "tastes too good to be gluten free" location, and as a celiac I've never had any issues.
