I ordered my food to go and it was cold by the time I ate it so I anticipate dining in would be a better experience. The space itself looked good; it was well lit and clean. The employees were cheerful and helpful as I noticed a sign for the trains. They confirmed I could take the red line to orange to get to Midway, as I was headed home from a business trip. I plan to go back next time I'm in Chicago for work as many menu items sounded delicious and they have gluten free bread!

Horrible service, the server was mad that I asked question because of my gluten allergy. I had to go.

Had a work lunch here last week, and was happy to see there is a separate gluten free menu available, so I didn't get my hopes up about something I couldn't actually have. My dish came out with a little flag indicating "allergy" so there was no confusion at the table. Most importantly, the food was very good!
Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe
130 E Randolph St, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Expect rapid service and hearty portions that leave you satiated, while architecture buffs appreciate the vernacular style setting.

The pancakes were awesome - they have really cool specialty pancake options. And anytime you have a gluten free option, you’re a winner in my book. Delicious and worth a visit!!
