SUSAN MCMILLAN
Susan McMillan's journey with nutrition (and love affair with beans) began when she became a vegetarian in the middle of her law school years. (Strangely, her children were not as enthusiastic as she was about beans in their childhoods as they are now.) In later life, special dietary needs and sensitivities in various family members set her on the path to finding ways to transform often bland or even unappetizing dietary food into gourmet offerings indistinguishable from "normal" food. The challenge to create gluten free baked goods that taste and feel like their glutenous analogs was irresistible.
Susan's goal is to make Wheat’s End Cafe a safe space where all people can meet and share incredibly delicious food with family and friends.
AMELIA FONTI
Native Australian opera singer and voice teacher Amelia Fonti began her love affair with food at an early age, learning cooking under the critical tutelage of her Italian mom. Her musical career took her to many countries, giving her exposure to many cultures and restaurants! After being diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and multiple food allergies, Amelia knows the many frustrations of dining out. She is thrilled to be a member of the Wheat’s End team and to share her passion for food and teaching with others.
MENI MIZRAHI
Passionate, hard working, and dedicated, Meni was part of the Senza/WE team from the very beginning, helping wherever he could from construction work to serving coffee in the morning cafe. When Senza closed its morning service in mid 2012, he convinced the owners to allow him to run a simple morning coffee service by himself. His customers loved him, and he loved what he did but, deep down he always hoped to expand that simple coffee shop to a full service cafe. His dream became a reality in March of 2015 when he took over as general manager of the new full service Wheat’s End Cafe.
In the 6 years since, Meni has built a huge following and now manages a restaurant that that offers amazing coffee, baked goods, inspiring food, and most of all, a welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service and a retreat where customers come to feel at home.
