WheatFields is a known local institution for breakfast. With fresh bread, sandwiches and more, this restaurant was packed on a Saturday morning.

We ordered at the front and took a tray back our table to wait for our goodies.

WheatFields is a full service artisan bakery cafe in downtown Lawrence, Kansas.

Come in for a loaf of hand-shaped bread, baked on the stone hearth of our wood-fired brick oven. Stay for a cup of coffee and one of our mouth-watering pastries. Or choose from a menu of fresh, wholesome food at the cafè, where we offer dine-in and carryout options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Our bread is crafted by early-rising bakers who apply their talent and touch at each stage of the baking process. We use natural starters and slow fermentation to ensure a superb depth of flavor and an ideal texture.

I went for the biscuits and gravy - which had a bit of kick to it - and one of their pastries that was staring at me from the case: a mixed berry and almond envelope.

It was a nice blend of salty & rich with lighter & sweet.
