Wheat Café - Glen Ellyn

Wheat Cafe is an amazing student-run cafe that provides both good quality of food and an exceptional service.Recommend place to hangout with friends and family!

This is a student run cafe that requires pre-order and is only open for limited hours and dates. The menu and food are good, just takes some pre-planning to dine there.

There are two dining areas in the CHC. Both of the previous reviews concern the Waterleaf a more formal dining area. This review is about the quick serve facility Wheat Cafe. Like the Waterleaf this is a student run/chef supervised operation. Cheap eats! Beautiful food! During my visit, I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Jalapeno spiked Slaw and skinny skinny crispy crispy french fries. Wow! $5! One of my friends had the Texas Breakfast Wrap $3. Another good value, but not as well presented as my sandwich. Another friend had the caramel chocolate tart it was all I could do to not push her aside and eat it all by myself. Only $3! You order at a counter where you receive your beverage and then go into a small dining room, which was clean and bright. Since food is being cooked to order there is a small, but easy, wait. The wait person was a little over zealous about plate pick up, but it was opening day and we were one of the first customers. Limited days (Tues and Wed), Limited hours (10:30 am 1:00 pm) Check the website for menu details.

We frequently go to the Wheat Cafe to celebrate birthdays. The food is superb, the service is excellent, and it is a good value. There are always fresh flowers on the table and white tablecloths, so it makes our luncheon feel special. I especially like the creative way the food is prepared and the desserts are always delicious.

A great moderate price restaurant with excellent foods and service. Also, the gorgeous lighting at front of Mac Art building is a bonus for you to walk around after dinner. Book reservation now because they are opened at very limited day.
