WheatFields cafe offers original sandwiches, soups, and salads every day of the week.

I tried the empanada of the day and the house salad last time I went, and both were uniquely WheatFields. I got the delicious white wine vinaigrette on the house salad - which was topped with cucumbers, beets, and a bean mix. And the empanada
