Great Harvest Bread Co.

Tasty breads-especially the hi5 fiber and the dessert breads. Also great whole grain brownies (the best I have had so far). Breads are very fresh and do not have any preservatives. I can eat them just as without any butter Pros: Fresh great tasting breads Cons: Not open on Sundays and Mondays more

The bread at Great Harvest is always fresh, and the selection is sometimes breathtaking. We keep finding ourselves going in for one loaf of white or wheat bread and leaving with three or four loaves and a couple of their great cookies as well! Luckily, the bread freezes well, and tastes just as good when thawed. We particularly like the Farmhouse white (which makes awesome PB&J's), the pepperoni bread, and the cheddar cheese bread, which is a great side to an assertive food like chili -- one of our favorite combinations. My personal favorite, though has to be the Cinnamon bread -- it makes the world's best french toast! more

This is a store which wraps its arms around you as you walk through the door, and gives you hugs in great doses. You immediately know that the main ingredient in each of their fantastic products is love. Some stores in the area offer you samples. At Great Harvest, they don't offer samples, they give slices!! You don't sample fragments of muffins, but a large portion of a muffin. Same thing for the cookies and breads. Undoubtedly, more then one person has left the store filled up on samples. more

This chain of bread stores is a favorite of ours in Ohio. But don't let that word ""chain"" throw you. This isn't corporate bread. This store is locally owned and operated by a married couple who have their hearts and their wallets invested in the product. And what a product! Everything is baked on the premises every day. Everything is fresh when you buy it and the ingredients are all top shelf. My personal favorite is the Cinnamon Swirl Bread. It is sinfully good! If I have any problem at all it is only that they bake to a schedule that does not seem to allow them to make the same breads on every day. So you have to keep aware of the days you will be able to get the bread you want. This place just opened in February, 2007 so local awareness is just taking root. The bad news for us is that as Caryites become more familiar with the fantastic products and great service at this store it will become more and more difficult to get your favorite bread without making a reservation. Pros: Fresh product, great variety, easy access and attentive service. Free samples Cons: Get there early and reserve your favorite treat. Baking schedule is unforgiving. more
