Recognize these faces? - the lifers of wheat’s end 💪🏻
Left to right: Reilly - 8 years and counting, followed closely behind by Abbie and J 💕
through every menu change, early mornings, sold-out weekends, and all the “are you sure this is gluten free?”—they’ve been here, holding it down
a lot has changed over the years, but we’re still here making it happen
if you’ve been coming in for a while, chances are one of them has taken your order, made your coffee, or helped you find your go-to 🫡
We love having them part of our family🫶

New Vegan Gravy just dropped 🤎
Beyond meat simmered with carrots, onion, celery + mushrooms in a rich coconut milk gravy — served up with two thick slices of soft white bread for maximum dunking.
Comfort food, but make it plant-based 🌱✨

Okayyyy gluten-free carb queens rise up 🥖✨
Our new sandwiches have entered the chat:
🍗 Chicken Parmesan — crispy, saucy, melty, unapologetically messy in the best way.
🍆 Eggplant Parmesan — for our veggies & vegans who still want that comfort-food main character energy.
Both stacked, both gluten-free, both ready to ruin your “I’ll just get a coffee” plans.
Come hungry. Leave saucy.
