Wildflour, on Windward Parkway, offers patrons a lunch and dinner menu full of unique combinations. We are known for our gourmet sandwiches, pastries, freshly baked bread, homemade soups and organic green salads for the lunchtime crowd.   A Family Affair This is a family owned business. Michael's sisters often make an appearance at lunch to help lend a hand with the rush. “We love coming out to visit with Michael and support him wherever we can."  Michael's Mom, Kitty, even through her illness, was known to be present at the restaurant, clearing tables, refilling drinks and talking with customers until she finally could only sit and smile.  It was so hard for her not to be able to get up and help, and that was equally difficult for us to watch. She was 64 years young.    Michael and his wife have worked hard, taking a risk opening in Roswell and then moving back to Alpharetta. They managed to open this business with practically no money and just a vision.   The Menu Field prides himself on an ever-changing menu, flanked by mainstays such as the popular tomato basil soup and the Seinfeld. Regular customers enjoy seeing the changes in the specials each day as Field likes to introduce a few new items each week. Whether diners crave a freshly roasted Turkey Reuben with homemade braised cabbage or a lighter spinach salad with balsamic salmon, Wildflour has something for every taste bud and appetite.

On top of the regular lunch offering, Field also regularly caters lunch for many of the local businesses and special events around the city. “I’m still not ready for the dinner scene because of the time commitment” says Field, “but I love the creativity involved in a catered event and the opportunity to help make someone’s party special means a lot to me." Eventually, Michael plans to add evening hours to Wildflour’s offering, but for now, he’s enjoying the balance between the restaurant and still having time to spend with his family and the occasional fly fishing trip to North Carolina with his in-laws.   The Atmosphere   Wildflour is only open a few hours a day so needless to say, we serve a lot of people in a short amount of time. It's not unusual to see the line out the door but don't let that scare you. The line moves fast and we get you in and out in a hurry. Most of our customers have their favorite sandwiches so ordering moves quickly too! If you want to spend more time, it’s a cozy location that seats plenty while still maintaining a comfortable setting. Serve yourself iced tea, water, and soft drink stations fit close by to the order counter and pastry showcases which are filled daily with everything from mouth watering cookies to delectable chocolate ganache covered mousse desserts. Too full to eat your dessert? Don’t worry. Wildflour offers desserts and pastries to go too.   He’s Back for Good   Field says he was also inspired to return to the restaurant by all the fans he would encounter over the years. “I still remember standing outside a Billy Joel concert when one of my former customers recognized me and begged me to reopen. He gave me his number so I could call him when he could get another crab cake sandwich. I felt like a rock star myself! Now that I’m finally open again, it’s been like a family reunion and I’m so grateful to everyone who has come back to me and all the new faithful customers of Wildflour. Alpharetta feels like home to us now and we plan to be around for a while.”
