Safety 10011. Wheat's End Cafe & Bakery
Go for the popovers, pancakes, or a breakfast sandwich if the menu has it that day. Wheat's End is the place to scratch the cafe itch without asking whether the toaster is shared.
The important update is that Wheat's End is takeout and delivery only now, not a lingering brunch room. It is still a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and a successor in spirit to Chicago's older dedicated cafe scene, so order ahead and plan it like a pickup.
