Overall Rating

Review


I have to say I was disappointed in my experience here. I was very excited to learn the whole place is dedicated gluten free but was shocked at how high the prices were. You would think for the price the food would blow you away but the best way I can describe everything I got was “mid”. I ordered a donut and it came out literally still frozen. Would unfortunately not recommend this place to friends. The workers were nice at least!

Owner Response


Hello Sydney, We also wish we could charge less. Unfortunately, our costs have gone up with everyone else’s, including labor costs. We pay our staff as fairly as we possibly can—-though not as much as we know they deserve! To make sure our food is truly celiac safe, all the menu items are made from scratch: the baked goods, the soups and everything else. Gluten free flours cost several times more than wheat flour, and wholesale prices for meats, fruits, vegetables and all other ingredients have increased significantly over the last few years. That’s just the reality we live with. Our prices are as low as they have to be to keep Wheat’s End going for the community we’re here to serve.
