We love the food here. It really is top notch. However - gird your loins when coming here. The service is terrible. You have to beg them to refill coffee. And then you discover that there is none brewed. A breakfast place without coffee at the ready is problematic. I'd understand if this were a one-off, but it's been this way since before Covid - so they can't blame it on labor shortages. The waitstaff isn't trained to work efficiently. They walk back to the kitchen empty handed a lot. Service 101 is to always be bringing something or taking something away, whether the bill, dishes, etc - especially whenever busy. Like I said above, the service here isn't a new problem. We've been coming here for the food and quirky atmosphere for a while. And, we're glad that Kent has a good breakfast place. It's popular enough to give the ownership no motivation to improve their management style. So, we just resign ourselves to having to ask for coffee refills, terse managers, and embarrassingly disorganized workflow. All said, the eggs Benedict is really good. They have a very nice, light hollandaise that I look forward to. All of the omelettes are also worth trying. read more

This restaurant is wildly expensive for the atmosphere and the menu. It looks like a diner but most items are $25 and up. We were shocked! Additionally the service is terrible- extremely slow (we waited over 15 minutes just to get our coffee after ordering it) and the restaurant was mostly empty. There is no wifi available (we were hoping to do some work while we were there) After sitting over 15 minutes with no coffee and no check-ins by staff, we left. So I can't comment on the food. The whole experience was extremely disappointing. If you want a good breakfast diner, go to Maggie's on Meeker, they are affordable and the service is great! read more

We have always loved this place but their prices have gotten insane! We had breakfast here after church service and noticed their meat omelette listed at $31 dollars! I have never imagined a 3-egg omelette ever being priced at that $31 dollars...in downtown Kent of all places! I realize the economy has gotten crazy but $31bucks for just one omelette breakfast, not including a cup of coffee or your partner's meal and tip too...crazy! read more

This place's service has been deteriorating in the past year. Staff always seems overwhelmed and a bit rude, perhaps because they are understaffed. While the food remains good quality, I also think it's overpriced. Their strange menu hours make it challenging to know when to go for the right items. read more

Always a wonderful meal, the menu has a great variety and not your run of the mill menu items. The team is always on point.

I have eaten here many times, mostly on weekends when it's busy. That being said, I've understood waiting 10-15 mins for my latte because they are slammed. However, I came in a few days ago with my mom and niece who were visiting from out of town and the service was still very slow especially considering there were only 5 tables that were seated. We waited at least 10 mins for two lattes. Yes, the servers were very friendly but I don't get waiting this long. Additionally, I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was covered in green onions. Nowhere on the menu did it say there were green onions on top. So, I had to pick all of them off. This should have been disclosed in the menu. Also, the kids menu said it was served with fruit however there was no fruit with my nieces breakfast. I love supporting our local restaurants but the inconsistency here makes it hard for me to want to return. read more

I came in today with a friend and our kids and we had one of the worst experiences at this establishment. When we entered, the restaurant was fairly empty. There were at most only a handful of tables. This was around 11am on a Friday morning. It was nearly empty. The host was an older Latina woman and she didn't greet us - just looked at us and said " booth ". I told her that we needed two high chairs. She just looked at us and smiled. We ended up seating the toddlers in the booth while we waited around for her to bring the high chairs over. Instead - she comes back with a booster seat about 10 minutes later. We had a 2 year old that needed a high chair and I had to point at another child in a high chair so she would hopefully understand. My friend ended up saying it's okay we don't need it and let the toddlers sit in the booth with us. Our server finally came around and took our orders and the food came out on time and delicious as usual. She checked in on us maybe once afterwards. The host came around to bring the check to us but we told her that we wanted to place a to-go order. She didn't understand so she walked away instead of calling our server over. Then the busser came around and I got his attention and asked him to call our server over - he looks around and grabs a set of silverware from another table and hands it over to me. I said no, this is not what I'm asking for. I then used some of my Spanish knowledge and asked him in Spanish if he can call our server. Our server was actually busy talking to another guest by the checkout counter and didn't come for a good 5 minutes. At this point 20 minutes had passed since we received our cheque from the host. My friend said that she will just bring the leftovers for her husband and to forget about ordering the food. Our server finally came around and I told her how I tried to communicate a few things to the host and the busser and they didn't understand a thing I said. Her response was " yeah, they don't know any English". I am a also a restaurant owner, and I also own 3 gas stations and a convenience store in Seattle. These businesses are customer facing businesses in which our employees and ourselves have a client-facing role. If I am going to a restaurant or a gas station and I have some requests, questions, etc , I expect to be heard and understood and helped. I don't have the time and patience to be going back and forth with someone because they don't understand what I am saying, especially when we have other things on our plate and we have our hands full with children and have to get back to our lives. If I can use whatever Spanish knowledge I have learned from high school to make myself heard - some basic English vocabulary for restaurant knowledge should be a must in a customer facing role. I hope you guys do better. read more

Very busy on a Saturday but luckily there was a table that could fit 8 without waiting for more than 30 minutes. Portion sizes are ginormous and food quality was pretty good. Classic brunch menu items and taste. They give you TONS of mimosa for the price. Also the mimosa comes with freshly squeezed OJ! Highly recommend trying this place but it is very difficult to find parking on Saturdays as it is right on the street where Saturday market happens. read more

Sister and I came to visit on a weekend a few weeks back, and the blintz's were insanely good! We ordered an omelet as well, which was okay, but nothing super spectacular. This blintz was so divine, I'll have to come back and get more soon! The staff here was friendly but not super attentive. Other than that everything was great. read more

Wild Wheat - Marionberry Grandma MInnie 's Blintzes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

Wild Wheat was not a great experience for us. The staff were friendly but the prices are awful for the quality and the amount that you get. My husband got the Wild Wheat breakfast. It came with just two eggs, home fries and toast for 16 dollars (!?). There was no bacon or sausage side with any of the egg breakfast meals and it cost an additional 5 dollars to add a meat option. My husband wanted a side of pancakes and to order just 1 pancake on the side was ALSO an additional 5 dollars. The pancake was not particularly large and both of us thought it was a bit bland. It came with a very small amount of syrup and it would have cost us 3 dollars more to get a bit more of it. I got the Stollen French toast which was 20 dollars. It was honestly inedible. It had a very gritty taste to it and was very dry. I only took a few bites before deciding against it. The French toast came with a side of fruit but unfortunately a lot of the fruit was not very fresh. I would very much not recommend it. All together we paid over 60 dollars for a really disappointing meal that we could have made at home for much less. read more

Second visit. This time, service was alright, but the entrees took a while and the food were pretty burnt. My Wheat Toast were burnt and my fianceé's onions and mushrooms were also burnt. We both ordered customized omelets and were kind of disappointed with the outcome. The prices for each topping were outrageous as well! For each meat topping, it was $4.00 and for each vegetable, it was $2.00. Not sure which other restaurant charges for every single topping, but thought it was pretty pricey. For a regular 3-egg omelet, it was already $12.00. So, mine came out to $16.00 and my fianceé's came out to $24.50 when she added jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, sausage and tomato. We wouldn't have been that disappointed had our food not been burnt since the portions were huge. Got a decaf coffee and some fresh orange juice which were good. Overall, our dine in experience wasn't as good as the first visit. read more

I'm not sure which one is colder the outside or the inside of the restaurant. Everyone is wearing jackets sweaters and scarf's. Breakfast was lukewarm the eggs were the only thing close to warm. Told our waitress the country potatoes were room temperature and got more ...warm. The lates same thing they said it came with 2 shots but it tasted like regular coffee with foam. I had a waitress warm me up with regular coffee. read more

I love this place. Everything is always so good. Eggs Benedict Florentine was amazing... potatoes cooked perfectly, the Hollandaise sauce is better than most and I don't know why. I subbed the homemade chicken sausage and sour dough. The wild wheat omelet was equally good. The pancake was delicious, esp w cinnamon and blueberries. What was surprising was the size of the mimosas. Yum. L read more

This review is for their product, not for the Cafe. We bought a loaf of Whole Wheat Hazelnut Currant and brought it home. Cut into it yesterday morning. The saltiness was overwhelming, the only flavor that came through. Oddly the "1 lb" loaf weighs 28 oz. Something is seriously wrong with this bread! Going straight into the garbage. Not worth the time and gas to return it for a refund. read more

Came in here with my wife and kids and we all enjoyed it! The kids had their Mickey Mouse pancakes with hot chocolate made at the perfect temperature for them.

Wild Wheat - spinach feta quiche - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kent, Washington

Wild wheat is by far a hidden gem in Kent. *puts it on the pedal stool of great breakfast places.* I know what your thinking. "They just got a new manager, why would it be any better?" Well my fellow reader and squirrel that learned how to read. It is! Let me change your mind! Happy thoughts! Review time. Atmosphere: The place looks like the stereotypical breakfast joint. (You know, chairs, bread, coffee, breakfast food. Homeless people winking at you from the window. The usual.) With wooden chairs and tables scattered across the dining place with good spacing! (Cuz nothing is more complimentary, than more space for my latino curves!) And a couple of booths, the space somewhat still feels open and welcoming. They make their bread here! Which is a delight and the smell is almost intoxicating. (Which that's the only toxic smell that'll ever reach my two of my five holes in my face! [Wow, that's a weird sentence. Lol]) fairly clean and nothing stuck out like a sore thumb. :) Pleasent and tasteful art on the walls, make it very comforting. (Which I always love to look at art while I stuff my face on such unspeakable horrundes ways! ["Billy! Close your eyes! The weird guy is here!" O.O]) Customer Service: Was delightful and quick. (Although, it was really early in the morning and they just open tho.) With a great selection of the menu and a very insightful and patient waitress, the experience was amazing! (Was that a run on sentence? ._. Idk. Lol but english is not my first language.) Food/Drinks: FRENCH TOAST IS AMAZING! (But havent you tried french toast before? *slaps person in the face!* o.o of course I had french toast!) But the way they make it here is out if this world! Omg... I still have the taste lingering in my mouth.. and it's been months. Lol. The portabella omelette is a tribute to why there is even a breakfast in the day!With each dish as fresh as the next, I cant really pick up the best. (In a world of perfection, it's hard to chip at any edge cracks.) But dont trust the words of a rambling lunatic (that loves his poodle way too much.) Go for it champ! Conclusion: ._. Welp, here we are and you probably scrolled all the way down here cuz you noticed my mediocre grammar. (Expecting I'd give you my conclusion!! Guess what! Not today!) So with great service (That makes a grown man cry. But then again I had a lot going at the time.. lol and I just got done cutting onions!), the atmosphere of welcoming place! And just the best breakfast plates Kent has to offer! So swing on by! read more

Came here a while back for weekend brunch with a friend. Unfortunately, Wild Wheat doesn't have a brunch menu and they ended breakfast too early so we had to order off the lunch menu. Luckily, the bakery was open and we could order from there too. We settled on the Frittata, Roasted Pear and Gorgonzola Salad, and Fruit Tart. The Frittata was ugly and paired with a watered down marinara sauce, which made no sense at all. It tasted better than it looked (not the marinara sauce, that was disappointing), and the crust was nice. The salad was fine, but a journey to get. They were out of Gorgonzola so we asked for Goat Cheese instead. Our server originally said that she would have to charge us extra for the Goat Cheese and tried to offer a packet of powdered Parmesan instead. Seriously?!?!? After we pointed out that Goat Cheese and Gorgonzola are way more similar to each other than to powdered Parmesan, she went and talked to a manager and didn't charge extra for the Goat Cheese. Finally, the Fruit Tart. Definitely the highlight of the meal and the saving grace. The fruit was fresh, the pastry cream was on point, and the crust was nice. We inhaled it, yum. While I didn't love my experience at Wild Wheat, I did love the Fruit Tart and would definitely come back to try more of the bakery items! read more

We came here from out of town. Heard great things about this place. The service and food did not disappoint! The hostess was very friendly and the waitresses brought out our food nice and quick! This stood out for us since we came in a large group. We had the speciality Nutella latte and peppermint mochas! I was very impressed by their selection of drinks and the taste was impeccable! Will definitely be coming back when we're in the area! read more

There were a lot of mistakes made during our visit. The service was sluggish and forgetful - it took twenty minutes to receive a latte, despite there being a barista who was cleaning the counter. Additionally, they brought out the wrong dish to our table. When we mentioned these mistakes, our server did not apologize and instead blamed either the kitchen or the barista. Even though it wasn't particularly busy (it was only 1 PM on a Saturday), the service was still frustratingly slow, likely due to our server spending time chatting with their friends by the host stand. I hoped there would be no more issues, but unfortunately, the quality of the food wasn't satisfactory. Although we were excited about the buttermilk buckwheat pancakes, they tasted more like cinnamon pancakes and lacked the expected buttermilk flavor. It should've been titled cinnamon pancakes on the menu. That's really the only flavor you tasted. I also ordered biscuits and gravy which was another miss The biscuits were dry and not served with enough gravy, while the potato hash had potential but was ruined due to overcooking and presentation issues. The portion sizes were large, which might be a positive aspect considering the high menu prices, but reducing the serving size slightly could result in the same quality product with more reasonable pricing. I really wanted to like this place. However, they didn't leave me any choice. $92 breakfast with tip and no alcohol for two people is the reason I was motivated enough to write this review.

Put ourselves on the waitlist through yelps online waiting system but when we got their we were told their system has been acting up and that we were never really in line. Fortunately they had an empty table for us. Food was alright. They have really great bread (sourdough!) and the raspberry jam on the table is super delicious on it. Ask about their specials. They also have a pastry case which all seemed really good and fresh. Drip coffee tasted pretty good (which is surprising because I feel like refillable drips at brunch places are usually mediocre). All in all, a decent brunch place but nothing to rave about. Just something to check off my list. read more

5-Star review despite a few hiccups. I have been to the WWBC countless times, and this small town cafe is always busy with consistently great food. This particular visit, the lines for breakfast started early. We arrived a little after 8:15am, and were able to grab the last booth by a window. I am familiar with their smaller menu, so only needed to quickly glance over my options to confirm what I wanted. I was most excited for , was there espresso options - I was craving a breve, hazelnut cappuccino. It took about 10 minutes for our server to greet us. Not because she appeared to be inattentive, rather busy. I don't mind a little wait if I can see my server is hustling! She wasnt over friendly when she greeted us, simply walked up and asked if we were ready to order. Lol, once again, I know they have great food- and I was super hungry and needing my espresso ASAP- so I didn't mind she was all business. After everything was ordered it took about another 12-15 minutes for my coffee. This isn't the standard- so it was forgivable- because I knew how much I'd like it. The cappuccino itself was not dry enough, made a mental note next time to be super specific. The food arrived right after the coffee- and was picture perfect . We were cashed out in a timely manner. Another great visit- I will be back. Early on the morning as always ' read more

I've never had a breakfast meal here that I didn't like. Super delicious, great portion sizes, relatively healthy and the baked goods are so good.

Excellent place for brunch. My party and I came here on a Sunday afternoon. It was fairly busy as expected, but we were greeted and got seated right away. Our server was great. Always checked in on us and refilled our beverages very timely. I ordered a coffee and a smoked salmon omelette. The salmon omelette and home style fries tasted great! Salmon was very flavorful, not dry at all. Potatoes were crispy and not too salty. The only complaint is that the toast was a little stale. Other than that, would definitely recommend. This place is somewhat pricey but totally worth it due to its generous portions. read more

Hands down, my favorite brunch spot in Kent. This restaurant has a bakery inside, so you can grab some delicious desserts or to-go their freshly baked bread. I've tried their omelets and eggs benedict and they never disappointed me. Their portions are quite big so I'd say their price range makes sense (usually at least $10+ each of their main dishes). If you have a toast with your order, please try their jam that's on the table because it's so good! Now parking in the area can be a little tough along the street where the restaurant is, but you should be able to find parking in a street away - just take a walk before and after you eat your yummy food! read more

We have known this place for nine years, today we were happy to come but we found very disappointing things. 8:30 am and the smell of detergent was so strong in the entrance... We waited a few minutes to get our seats and order, but they forgot details about the hot chocolate without whipped cream. And the worst was I found a large hair in my omelette. I definitely don't recommend coming back. What happened with this place? Did they change ownership or cooks, everything was tasteless. I almost forgot to mention that there are a lot of flies too. read more

Their pastries were good! We ordered from too good to go and they had instructed us to pick up between 2:30 and 3. We came in at 2:35 and the server seemed irate that we were there before closing. We told them we were picking up from the too good to go and they were still irritated. Little bit of a bummer but their pastries were really really good. read more
