Delicious food. It all came out pretty quick too and was made to order. Only downside is no dine in but there’s parking in front of the building so it was no a big deal

After reading the reviews, we made a stop on our way out of Chicago to Wisconsin. Love the menu and the choices which are all gluten-free. I ordered the pop over and it was amazing. I hadn’t had a pop over in years and it makes me curious if I can make this at home, but of course it would never taste the same. Delicious!

Decent food! I got the chicken gyro (can be made dairy free) as well as the breakfast sandwich (also can be made dairy free). It was amazing being able to have gluten free pita, but I wasn't too impressed with the breakfast sandwich or popover. I love that there are so many dairy free options though! If I'm ever back in Chicago I'll have to stop here again and try more things.

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!

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.

I have eaten here several times, and I am sorry to say I’m disappointed. The food is good - not amazing, but definitely good. It’s definitely overpriced, which is understandable given the needs of a fully gf space. The biggest issue IMO is the new arrangement. No dine-in, only takeout - except all the dishes are designed as if you were eating a fancy sit-down brunch! I live around the corner and would eat here 3x a week if they offered a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for $10. But instead they offer an open-face on a bed of greens for $16 plus tax/tip… which I then have to go eat at the park nearby out of a styrofoam container?

The food is fine, and it is always a relief being anywhere that is fully gf… but I am confused as a consumer. Either be convenient, affordable, and practical - or be exquisite, expensive, and offer a superior experience. Right now this place sadly doesn’t fit either of those purposes - and though I would love to eat here far more often, it just doesn’t fit.

I’ve eaten here several times, and there’s so many options that I always feel like I can have something new. They have good dairy free options as well. I’d highly recommend the dairy-free popover and honey butter. Definitely one of my favorite places in the Chicago area.

This place is the BEST!!! Everything here is gluten free there is no wheat in the place! I had the Belgian waffle and cinnamon roll and it was so good and I feel good!! They have so many options and they also have frozen items to buy and take home. They unfortunately do not offer dine in but it’s right by Lincoln Park and is great to get and go have a picnic! Thank you to Wheats End for making it possible for me to eat foods I didn’t think I’d ever be able to eat as a celiac.

This place is great! It was such a treat to be able to pick up café food on my visit to Chicago. The staff was so nice and let me look through all the ingredient lists.

I really enjoyed the popover with honey butter. Sesame bagels were also good. I thought the brownies and scones were fine but prefer the ones I make at home. Fodmappers/IBS friends, be forewarned that most of the savory breads are made with onion – I was pretty sad to learn I couldn’t eat much of the menu (biscuits, sourdough, focaccia)

Wonderful cafe for take out. The food was delicious and the staff working were so great. I got there close to closing time and they were so kind to still take my order. Truly a treat being able to order anything on the menu. 100% gf. The beef gyros was very good, very generous portion and a side of French fries. The iced vanilla latte I got was also such a treat. I wish I lived closer but highly recommend if in the area!

very unpopular opinion but i was really unimpressed by this place. it was really expensive and honestly not as good as i expected. i’ve had a lot of better gluten free options elsewhere. maybe i just came on an off day. i do love that they’re 100% gluten free though! love having the option in the city, just sad they also got rid of dine in at their new location.

When traveling it’s such a relief to find a dedicated GF place that offers delivery! I was on a work trip and ordered food for a couple of different meals. I really liked my bagel and the donuts. I also had a skillet with yummy sourdough bread. I only wish I’d ordered a few more items. Next time!

Overall this place was great! I ordered the veggie panini which was very tasty with gf focaccia bread. The fries were sub par and bland but nothing ketchup can’t fix! But the real show stopper was their frozen items. Specifically the gf and vegan sourdough. Texture and flavor are on point, probably the best gf bread i have found so far. It’s dense and filling like normal bread and not crumbly like other gf breads. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Found this while visiting Chicago. I have 3 celiac kids and I also eat gluten-free. Very safe! Very good food and desserts!! We ordered grilled cheese and tomato soup, spicy chicken sandwich with fries, pancakes, chicken gyro with fries for lunch. And for dessert chocolate chip cookies, coconuts donut, cinnamon roll and a brownie. It was so nice to be able to order without worry, and all the food was great!!

Food is uniformly delicious! Eaten here several times. Really wonderful baked goods - scones, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, etc. Only complaint is that there is now no eat-in option. For us, coming from out of town, it means we can’t eat there over the winter since food would be stone cold by the time we got it back to hotel. During nice weather, it’s easy to take to nearby Lincoln Park and picnic. Really wish they had some sort of dine-in option!
