I was lucky enough to have breakfast at Wheat Berry on Sunday morning, which proved to be a great experience. The bakery and café, located on Main Street and open seven days a week, is really charming. The cozy restaurant smells of freshly baked bread and pastries, making your mouth water right when you walk in. The décor is warm and homey, bushels of wheat line
the windows, ceramic mugs hang from natural wood shelves, and your food comes on delicately painted mismatched plates. I ordered eggs and toast while my friend had a raspberry croissant, and we were both extremely satisfied.
Our meals were simple, sure—scrambled eggs and toast aren’t hard to do—but Wheatberry’s version was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and wholesome; you can tell the food is made right in their charming kitchen, not in some far away factory. Portions aren’t that big but they’re filling, as each meal is ripe with fresh ingredients that make each bite a treat. Their homemade bread, organic vegetables, and farm fresh eggs make a simple breakfast something to be savored. That’s what makes Wheat Berry so wonderful: they make every day meals, but with extraordinary ingredients. Come stop by Wheat Berry if you’re in the mood for a pastry, breakfast, or lunch: you can expect to pay a bit of money (local ingredients don’t come cheap), but it’ll definitely be worth it.
