I am new to the area and got a welcome package which included a free loaf of bread. I bought several of their pastries and they were all incredible. The bread was amazing and the staff are very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Great place!! I have frequented Great Harvest in many states and have never been disappointed. This Great Harvest in Cary holds a special place in my heart. The owner is awesome, the bread is always amazing, and it's my kids favorite bread, and the employees are so friendly and welcoming. The only place we get our bread! read more

First I love their bread. It is the only bread I eat, that resembles the taste and texture of bread back home in Europe. Now they have opened the sandwich shop too. Having lunch here today and love the simplicity of a sandwich on such quality bread, yummy. Had a California Cobb on Dakota bread, great. There is also something to be said about sandwich assembly, nothing fell out of my sandwich!!! They also serve soup and salad. Highly recommended. read more

Always always great customer service! The bread is awesome too! I always stop when I'm in Cary! read more

I went there for the first time try one of their Tuesday specials and it was sold out. Instead, I purchased a loaf of "Cinnamon Extreme" and it is awesome. Definitely recommend you try a loaf and see!! read more

Going into this bakery shop on the cold Fall Monday morning was the best decision I made today. Their have put out so many tasting choice. I like the harvest chocolate chip pound cake best but it was quite a lot. So I chose the harvest berry vegan muffin, which is also good! I think they serve Larry's coffee here, by far the best taste I had from Larry's. Jimmy and Terry were so friendly to me and to my coffee cup!;-) read more

We've been going there for years and years and years, congratulations to them on their 11th birthday. We always enjoy the cinnamon rolls, cookies, cinnamon chip bread for French toast, cookie and brownie mixes . . . Everything is good! Just had my first Italian sandwich there for lunch, and it also was outstanding. Service always a plus and with a personal touch for longtime customers! Thanks Great Harvest! read more

Great friendly staff! And bread cookies sandwich and soup for lunch are delicious! It's very convenient they prepare your sandwiches fresh! read more

I am so thrilled that my neighbors brought me some Hot Cross buns for Easter from your bakery! They were the BEST I have ever had!! Oh my goodness I will be checking y'all out soon. Just thinking of those hot cross buns make my mouth water to try other things from your bakery. I am disabled and do not get out or go anyplace very often so I need to make a special trip to your bakery soon!!! I can't wait to try something else!!! read more

Great harvest bread has the best employees ever. Smitty is a keeper. Smitty's personality is awesome. Smitty let me try the honey wheat bread OMG. Smitty informed me it has five ingredients that's all. Talk about delicious. Especially now day with so many additives. Absolutely excellent. Oh and I did not even have to ask to try it. This bread is a must buy!!! Quality, personality, and service. EXCELLENT!!!!! Thank you Smitty and Great Harvest!!! Lydia read more

I hate to say it, but La Farm has just been unseated as my goto bakery. Not only is GH's bread super tasty and healthy, but the employees are about the friendliest I have run into. Plus, even though it is a franchise named business, each one is family owned and allowed tons of freedom in what ingredients they use and what products they make. When I walked in on Saturday, I was immediately greeted by a super genuine girl who began cutting up fresh samples of all the breads/sweets they had featured for the day. Each of the tastes were delicious and I literally could have made a meal out of it. When I inquired about the ingredients, I found out that almost all the baked goods are made from whole wheat that is freshly ground in house everyday. No wonder it's so good and lasts so long (7-10 days on the counter at home). Monthly, a new menu comes out listing the seasonally changing breads (hello pumpkin loaf). No more bag bread from the grocery store or non-whole grain from local bakeries for me. read more

I'm hooked.... I am addicted to carbs and I have found my new dealer..... The location is close to the house, the people could not be any friendlier if they tried, I always leave with a sample bigger than my head, and they grind their own whole wheat daily..... yes it is a little slice of heaven (no sliced bread pun intended!) The cinnamon chip bread makes the best sweet toasty treat, the honey whole wheat can swing both sweet and savory, anything they make swirled (i.e. pumpkin swirl) could be a dinner party dessert, and the breakfast bars made at the bakery fuel my day at least twice a week! After having Great Harvest products after every local race fro the last 3 years, I finally made it into the store and it has quickly become a weekly fixture. read more

I really shouldn't come here so often. I always end up spending too much money on bread! But good luck keeping me away. They have a bread board with a free sample of your choice as soon as you walk in. And you won't get better customer service. The staff is always friendly and so helpful. You can't really go wrong with whatever you choose - I like the honey whole wheat, but once my kids and husband tried the farmhouse white that's all they will eat. And they have so much more than just sandwich bread. Specialty breads for holiday occasions, pepperoni/spinach rolls, and their challah bread are only a few examples of their greatness. Join their email club for menus (they change monthly), specials, and the occasional coupon. Don't look at the prices. $7.95 for a specialty loaf might seem like a lot - but try it and you'll see. read more

The bread is awesome. But I like coming here because of the service. When I bring the little ones, they get treated as all-stars by the always friendly staff. The free samples are seen as big treats by the 2 and 4 year olds. Our daughter dropper hers on the way out the door once, and before she could start crying, they were handing her another piece. As for the foods, we love the honey wheat bread. It makes the most amazing french toast. When we want to be naughty, we'll get the bacon-cheese-beer bread for the cheese and jalapeño loaf. My only complain is I haven't memorized their baking schedules yet, so it's always a surprise (for me!) what treats I'll get to choose from when I visit. read more

One of the best fresh bread places you'll ever visit in Cary with humorous and courteous staff and savory bread that will have you wanting to come back for more. I went there yesterday to buy a loaf of their Gouda and Stout bread (from their March bread special which I've been eyeing ever since I read their online menu here from Yelp). Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly gentleman who sliced me off a generous sample slice of the Gouda and Stout and I was blown away on a magic carpet ride of beer & cheese flavored bread. It made me feel manly in a good way. I was so impressed and satisfied that I ended up buying an extra loaf to impress a male crush of mine (he was pleasantly ecstatic when I surprised him with it) and two Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. I've tried one of the cookies, they are tastebud pleasing as well. Conclusion: Go there if you want to experience a glorious new world of bread outside of the grocery store. :) read more

I mean just an A+ place, really! First of all, they give out whole slices of bread as samples and actually encourage you get a sample. Finally, a place that doesn't make me feel guilty about eating samples. It's really a genius business move because every sample I have tried I have needed up buying a load of. Oops! The garlic and cheddar bread is awesome! I think I could eat an entire loaf. This flavor also comes in buns which really make a burger awesome. We also love the cinnamon swirl bread they have. It is so good!!! The Mexican chocolate tea cake is good and has a unique kick at the end. All of their breads are moist and super fresh. If you get bread they offer to slice it for you which really reduces the work for you later at home. They are closed on Sundays and they have a different menu everyday so depending on what you want, you will need to check ahead. Also they sell at the apex farmers market on Saturday mornings. read more

Really REALLY impressed with this company. My parents asked me to find them whipped honey, something they hadn't had in a long time. I saw on the website that they had some and made a visit. I was pleased that they had two kinds - 100% honey and honey mixed with cinnamon. Each jar was $6.95, pretty reasonable IMO. They also had some tasty looking jams and, of course, plenty of different kinds of bread, muffins, cookies, and bread mixes. I bought a loaf of the Extreme Cinnamon Swirl and can't wait to try it (heck, I'd be happy just to smell it all day). The staff members were super nice and took their time with each customer to talk about the different breads and how they make them (they grind the grain themselves). I noticed they have a reading club for kids and after the kids have done their reading, they get a free cookie. I'm sure their website probably has more info on that. I'll definitely be returning here in the very near future. Possibly within the next five minutes. read more

My daughter and I love Great Harvest Bread! Stopping in for friendly smiles and delicious bread is a regular part of our routine. The aptly-named Extreme Cinnamon Swirl bread is out of this world (though Cinnamon Chip will also do in a pinch)! I love that Great Harvest gives back to the community as well. I've seen Great Harvest at local races handing out slices of bread to runners, and I've seen the owner, dressed as "Kernel Wheat", demonstrating wheat grinding at the Harvest Festival in Raleigh. Kids can submit completed coloring sheets to receive a free (oversized) cookie. Good people + good bread = double win! read more

Incredible as always . It's nice to have vegan options and fresh baked bread. The bread is incredible and with few ingredients. The honey whole wheat is incredible and so is the customer service read more

This place! I'm hooked. Let's start with the FRIENDLY staff! Then there's the samples. By samples I mean SNACKS. They enthusiastically feed you! I say snacks because a slice of bread is more than a sample. The extreme cinnamon is yummy! Smear some cream cheese on that bad boy and call it heaven. The pepperoni bread is delish as well! I'm pretty sure everything is tasty, but in fairness I am only mentioning items that have made it into my mouth. Now...we have to talk about the Savannah Bars. I am a sucker for fruit filling and crumble topping. These bad boys had me at first glance. The cookies didn't even have a chance sitting next to these. There are three sections of the SB: crust, fruit filling, and crumble. The crust is a crunchy coconuty layer. Solid enough to hold the other two, but soft enough to still be moist and delicious. The fruit filling...ohhhhh my. Perfectly sweetened and plenty of it. This is no thin layer of a jam spread. We are talking about chunks of fruit. Then top it off with the buttery, brown sugary, oat goodness of crumble. Melts in your mouth! You nnneeeedddddd some Savannah Bars in your life! read more

See all

Requested information about the nutritional value of the loaf I was buying and the attendant directed me to the website very rude. nice looking and great tasting bread though read more

Quite honestly as good as it gets, some of the best bread(s) I have had. I love everything about this place, the first time I visited was because they were having a bake-sale of some sort on a Sunday, benefiting a co-workers daughters swim team or something. One of the best decisions ever! :) I love the fact that they offer you a little slice/sample of something when you walk in the door. The exact words that greeted me last time I stepped in were "lets get you something to eat", as the woman behind the counter proceeded to cut me a slice of their bread for the day. Offer me a free slice of awesomeness when I step in, and you pretty much have me sold! Stuff I've really liked : (1)Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread/Cake : divine! They dont make this everyday though, as I found out the hard way on my last visit :( (2) Ginger, Blueberry sugar tea-cake : lives up to its rather long name :). Had this when I couldnt find (1). (3) They had a bread that had cheese and pesto, I forget what it was called exactly but it hit the spot! :) They do have a weekly/daily menu that means different items are available on different days, so might be good to look that up on their website before heading out. Can't wait to try more of their stuff! read more

Today was my first day stopping into Harvest bread and all I can say is wow! I am embarrassed to admit that I sampled 3 different breads while I was there and they were all delicious! I love that when we walked in they said let us feed you! I bought 8 cinnamon rolls for my teen daughters sleepover and they can't wait to eat them! read more

Great Harvest Bread - Yum! Cinnamon rolls! - Bakeries Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Delicious bread, great customer service & they have amazing samples. The high protein low carb crunch is my favorite. Every bread & sandwich I've tried from here has been top quality. read more

This is a lucky find for me and my family! The food is so fresh and tasty! You will not be disappointed!

Very nice Breads and good service. We reached almost around closing time and they didn't have the bread we ranted to buy for trial. Upon our request they were ready to cut a couple of fresh breads for us to try. We left the store happy with a jalapeño cheddar bread :) read more

New owners and have definitely noticed the difference. While I love their product offerings, they either can't find the order, it's not ready and today the muffins were missing the blueberries as ordered per the website. read more

Found this place on yelp and their sandwiches were amazing and the staff was extremely friendly. Would come back to here and eat as well as reccommended it to other people. read more

Wonderful bread! I really like the dakota. Also the pumpkin chocolate chip cake. And the roast beef sandwich is delicious! Always greeted with warmth - it's a joy to go there. read more

Great customer service. They have best breads and ample samples of new breads to try :) I really like their fresh salads and sandwiches

Love this bakery! Not only do they make fresh, natural-ingredient breads and treats but they are an excellent contribution to the community. And they give you free samples from the cutting board. It's the perfect blend of sustainable environmentally health conscious, socially engaged member of the community, at a reasonable price! read more

I loved the salad selection, the food is so fresh! I would highly recommend. The bread is outstanding and the sandwiches are awesome!

I recently served a loaf of bread from Great Harvest and watched it disappear before my eyes. It was delicious and everyone kept taking slices, slathering them with butter, eating them and coming back for more. That hasn't happened since, hmmm, France. This is a franchise, owned by the Williams'. The flours are the best to be found, most coming from Montana. The owners are there to tell you all about the different items and to give you generous samples of anything you want to try. When I was in there Friday, one woman and her daughter seemed to be having their lunch. They kept tasting bread after bread after cookie after bread but not quite making up their minds about what they wanted. The owner was so gracious through it all, while I was getting a bit impatient. Rest assured, this is a class-act operation with delicious breads and wonderful, caring service. What more could you ask for?! read more

Great bread and wonderful service! My favorite bread is the Cinnamon Swirl, eat it alone or topped with cream cheese. Yum.

Very yummy bread, the free samples are great, and the staff are very freindly. I wish there were nutritional facts on the packaging but that's not gonna stop me from coming back :) read more

All natural ingredients, freshly baked, excellent customer service, great rotating and standard variety and charity too (they donate breads that don't get sold)! Makes it worth the 20mins drive for us. We never buy bread anywhere else! read more

Best breads in the Triangle without a doubt. Sometimes is the simple things that are most enjoyable and this is the place for that. Not pretentious or over done in any way. Just great bread and the best staff in the area. You just want to hang out and talk and eat the free samples of their breads. Everything is fresh and good and relatively healthy (lots of whole wheat). La Farm is good if you're looking for French breads, but they can't hold a candle to Great Harvest's service and fun attitude. Personally I like GH breads better also. You may think you're too old for PB&J, but you haven't lived until you try PB&J on honey whole wheat. cinnamon chip, dakota, high 5 fiber, spelt... they're all great. read more

Garlic, Cheddar, Jalapeno- enough said. This place is really, really good! Great people and generous with the community as well. We had GHB-Cary cater a Friday morning corporate breakfast and man I have never seen the food go so fast. If you are sick and tiered of bagels, try them out. Awesome. read more

I seriously would quit my job at another bakery if Great Harvest could offer half of what Whole Foods does as far as pay and benefits. Take delicious bread. Shove delicious masses of cheese inside. Make love to bread with a knife and a toaster. Remember me in your will for telling you about this place. read more

We stopped in after lunch at Brew and Que, and we're really glad we did! Staff was very friendly and outgoing, and generous with the samples! we picked up a loaf of their Jalapeno cheese bread, which was delicious, as was the pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Since we've got our frequent flyer card, and a schedule (they seriously have a humongous variety), we'll definitely be back for more! read more
