Great Harvest Bread Co.

Went here for lunch during a conference. CLOSED! As in, for lease sign in the window! Needless to say, I was irritated.

WOW! What a wonderful bread store and sandwich shop. Stopped just to get a light bite to eat and ended up buying a loaf of Garlic Cheddar Bread to snack on during tomorrow’s Bears game and a loaf of Dakota Bread. This bread has sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds kneaded into a honey whole wheat dough. I shared a Catlow Cobb Sandwich with my wife which consisted of fresh avocado, smoked turkey breast, and crispy bacon with a bleu cheese spread on Dakota Bread. Absolutely delicious. I will be back!

We recently used Great a Harvest to cater a day after the wedding luncheon in our home for 40 guests. Not only did they open up for us on a day they were possibly not going to, but they delivered the food to our door! The sandwiches and desserts were outstanding! They were fresh and delicious! Our guests loved the variety of breads and even raved about their pickles! I highly recommend you try catering from Great Harvest if you have not done so before. The manager, Chris, is especially kind, generous and helpful! This is a great business to support!

The bread and pastries are to die for!!! Check this place out… definitely worth while…

Today brought family to give this place another try (the only cinnamon in the bread we tried last week was the name on the label. No flavor, so not sure what these other reviews are about — probably friends)
Hand-​written sign CLOSED June 20 — June 30.
REALLY? You’re in a retail business and you can’t get someone to work while you vacation? Then you are not really in business, it’s a hobby.
Embarrassing. Jewel makes fresh bread, right next door. And it doesn’t matter which tastes better. If a store is not open, nothing is available.

The bread is very good I especially love the cinnamon chip because it tastes kind of like cinnamon French bread but it is just their bread also their snicker doodle cookie is amazing. They ask you every time you come in if you want a sample of the treats or their bread. If you buy two treats you can get a free loaf of day old bread and let me tell you it tastes about the same as the bread they have when its freshly made so don’t worry about it being a day old.

Another great bread company — if you like Panera or Breadsmith’s bread, you’ll definitely love this as well. Nice, distinct clear flavors — good meaty texture. All really for a few extra dollars a week more than buying grocery store bread. A couple things definitely stand out among all items. They all taste fresh, they all have a clear theme without too many extra ingredients to distract from the main flavor, good weight and density, are a bit more moist than most bread, and sweet breads aren’t too sweet. I particularly loved every item with cinnamon in it as the flavor comes out brightly but isn’t loaded with sugar on the side. The savory breads are also delicious.
Great that the give samples as well, but I wish they had more choices available sometimes — although that might take away from the quality and consistency.

The honey whole wheat bread is fantastic! It’s the purest whole wheat bread around; no additives or preservatives. I have tried two specialty breads (whole wheat cinnamon swirl and whole wheat asiago/​pesto swirl) and they are great. I love the whole wheat options! The staff is always friendly and I am pleased there is a frequent buyer program. I read about Great Harvest on a blog and was very excited to find a location within 15 minutes of my house!

I drive by this place at least everyday since it’s in the strip mall across from my neighborhood, saw a sign that they have breakfast sandwiches so I gave it a try. YUMM! they are made to order, and taste super fresh. They aren’t too fancy but every part tastes good: the egg, cheese, bacon, and tomato. The employees are super nice also. Laid back and accommodating from the moment we walked in. We also bought a loaf of apple bread. it is amazing also and they let you try samples before so that was nice. Glad this place is so close and will be back again:)

1. Awesome sandwiches! I’m not a huge fan of sandwiches in general but this Great Harvest has very fresh and delicious ingredients, consider me a sandwich convert. (And they include a quarter slice of a pickle on the side! HELL YEAH! I love pickles!!!)
2. Nice staff — they always offer breads you can try before you order — who doesn’t love free samples?
3. Their cinnamon swirl roll loaf is out of this world, it tastes like a cinnamon roll that had an baby with a loaf and the love child was this bread. Way too good to be legal.
4. Nice variety of products you can buy at the store. I’ve bought the strawberry rhubarb «butter» and it’s out of this world. You could eat it with a spoon.
5. Awesome brownies and harvest bars!
Overall great place, fast service. The only thing I wish they did have was soup. I would love to eat some soup and indulge in one of their biscuits simultaneously. I can only dream of such a day. But till then, I will keep eating their delish sandwiches!

We have gone there at least ten times and have always received fantastic service and great bread, muffins and bars. Absolutely love that they grind their own flour and it does seem to keep the bread fresher for a longer period of time. We have also had good luck with freezing their bread. Favorites include the whole wheat, Dakota, cinnamon chip and apple scrapple. The apple scrapple makes AMAZING French toast. Husband likes the blueberry ginger muffin and I like the Savannah bars. Tonight we are going to try the pizza bread. It smells great so I can’t wait.

Only two bad things to say about this place. One-​I wish you could get either half loaves of bread or smaller loaves or something. I am always afraid to buy a whole loaf because I’m afraid it will go bad before I eat it all. Two-​this was only once, but one time I was there the chick working was so ridiculous it was like she did not understand the (not difficult) words that were coming out of my mouth.
Other than that the food is delicious, the samples are huge, and the people who work there are nice.
Try the savannah bar-​it is awesome! I also love the scones.
Oh, last thing, they do not serve everything every day (it changes monthly and rotates through the week), so make sure you check their menu online if you’re trying to get something specific (savannah bars are every day though)

I was so excited that this store was opening in our neighborhood and I wasn’t disappointed. Everyone who works there is gracious and professional. The owners are very lovely people. Now let’s talk about the food. Amazing. The breads are all so good and nutritious. The cookies are great. Their catering is also so good – the sandwiches are the best you will find anywhere. Very fresh and flavorful. I can’t wait to try the coffee others are raving about. I hope this business is here for a very long time. Thanks for adding a wonderful business to our area, Chris and Heather!

I was a little premature and wrote a bad review earlier. I decided to give this place another chance and the sandwich I got was really good and the people working there were very nice. It is a good addition to the area.

Holy Amazing Bread, Batman!
I sampled and purchased a loaf (yes, a loaf) of cinnamon chip, so good! More important, for you savory bread fans, the Garlic/​Cheddar is a must!
I also had a great roast beef sandwich on fresh baked white bread. Simple goodness.
For you coffee aficionados, they serve San Francisco’s finest, Blue Bottle. People in the Bay Area line up to wait for their drip coffee, which they proudly brew here.
Great storefront, homey interior and just overall genuinely great place. This will be a place I sneak off to often, try it.

Opening Day! Free samples!
I’m always on the look out for locally owned places, and this is one of them.
I love that their breads are 5 ingredients, and that they grind their own flour daily.
Being their first day, they were still learning things, but they couldn’t have been nicer and more courteous.
I walked out with a mixed berry-​cream cheese scone, and a drip-​thru coffee.
I’m no scone aficionado, but that might have been have been one of the best scones I’ve ever had.
For the coffee, I’d asked for a regular, batch coffee, but they didnt have any ready, so they made me a drip-​thru coffee and only charged me for a batch coffee (even though the drip-​thru probably took as long to make as it would have for them to make a full batch coffee). They appear to serve Blue Bottle coffee, a small roaster out of the Bay area. Most excellent.
They are not baking their sourdough bread at this location yet. They indicated it is a much more involved process, and they are still working out the basics of the store. I’ll be keeping an eye out for when they start baking sourdough.
I’ll be back often.
