Located in the Culinary & Hospitality Center, Wheat Café is a 60-seat casual dining restaurant staffed by Culinary Arts, Baking and Pastry Arts, and Hospitality Management students. Students use fresh regional and seasonal ingredients in their American cuisine, and menus change each month.

Wheat opened last fall to strong reviews and brisk lunch business, said Jim Mulyk, assistant professor of Culinary & Hospitality Management.

“We are excited to add dinners to the offerings at Wheat,” he said. “It gives our students even more opportunities to gain experience and demonstrate everything they are learning.”
