This one is really simple. It's a bread place, not a sandwich place. You could actually stop reading now because that's all you need to know. All the reviews confirm what I believed and partially experienced. People love the bread but the sandwiches are underwhelming. I'm not sure how this makes sense, but some things in life are best left as mysteries. I gave a 4 because it was a very good chocolate chip cookie and the service was very friendly. read more

My husband stopped by the other day and purchased sourdough and rosemary bread along with some of the bread pudding and monkey bread. The loaves of bread were hard as a rock! The monkey bread was stale and had to be warmed up to eat it. Even after spraying water on the bread and putting it in the oven it was very disappointing. The bread pudding was the only thing palatable and it was a 3/5. When you pay this much per load you expect fresh bread. This purchase was extremely disappointing. read more

Small w/no tables this is a pickup and go. Service is quick and easy. They'll explain any selection thoroughly including any allergans. We love the monkey bread or the cinnamon bread w/frosting. It's so delicious like a cinnamon roll. It doesn't last more than a day and always want more!! read more

We had the rosemary garlic bread to go along with our Christmas lasagna- This is possibly the BEST bread I have EVER tasted!! Soooo delicious!! HIGHLY Recommend. The density, the texture, the melt in your mouth freshness- Toasted w butter, yummmmm ( we asked them to slice the loaf before leaving the store) - next up to try: their cinnamon bread (I hear it's AMAZING) - this is an order & take away place, not a sit & eat read more

This is a nice spot. It's in a busy shopping center with shared parking. Be careful people in this shopping center are ripping and running and will tear up your car. It's a small bakery with some delicious treats. I decided to try the monkey bread. It's not like banana bread but pull apart cinnamon sugar loaf with cream cheese icing. The bread was delicious. I recommend storing in the frig if you need to and eating the same day. The customer service was basic nothing basic. I will return and try some of their other other items soon. read more

Decided to pop in while shopping in the area. The cashier was friendly cashier but l was shocked when I picked out bread and was told it was $9 plus tax!.... how do you pay about $5 plus tax for bread a few months ago, come back and suddenly it's double the price?? I understand times have been tough and I'm all for supporting local but this is ridiculous! Went to Trader's Joe with the bread and the cashier ladies saw it. They told me they used to buy bread from there but stopped because of the price hike, l agree!! Guess that was my last visit read more

Love the Bread Service is very friendly Ambiance is the smell of Bread!! I love these Carbs, they taste soooo good!! read more

The Great Harvest at home offers many, many types of bread. They offer free samples too. This is a small store in a strip mall with only a few types of bread, none of which are sourdough, or crusty. This may be an unfair comparison, but I left disappointed with no bread. read more

Oh Great Harvest, how you disappointed me. I originally had Great Harvest at the Charlotte Farmer's Market and we were impressed. We were offered a lot of samples and ended up going home with a herbed focaccia, which I learned they no longer sell? At any rate, last month, we stopped by the Rea Road location for the very first time. Was offered one sample after I made a purchase, so quite a different experience. Not that I care too much about the samples, but it definitely helped me in making a purchase at the Farmer's Market. We purchased the extreme cinnamon swirl (tried it at the market) and a garlic rosemary loaf. I was extremely disappointed when we cut into the cinnamon swirl as it was just specs of cinnamon, the swirl was no where to be seen (other than the bottom corner). It was just dry and not what I recalled tasting. The garlic loaf on the other hand was very good! I went on GHB's website and found an e-mail and contacted them with a picture of my sad bread. I received a response the next day from the manager with an apology and a bizarre offer just to let the employee know that you can get another one on us. Not sure how the employee is supposed to know or believe that? I have not tried yet, but at any rate, I responded asking questions on availability of the bread and if I could preorder. That was on 8/22. Here it is 9/21 and I received no response. Overall just disappointed in the bread I received and the follow-up from GHB. Doesn't have me running back to try again. read more

I've never visited this store, but Great Harvest bread is a favorite in my family. My son can't come home for Thanksgiving this year, so I wanted to ship him a taste of home. Nouri put together this gift box and packed it with a mother's love. She's made my day, my month, my year. If I ever make it to Charlotte, I will be sure to visit her and thank her in person. Happy Thanksgiving Nouri! read more

The one star is for customer service and four stars for the bread. I've been coming to this place for the last five years. Their breads are nice and baked fresh daily. I'm compelled to write this review from my last experience visiting this store. I stopped by on May 14, 2019 at 9:30 am with my two daughters. We looked at the samples bread and saw a big fly sitting on the sample bread. We told the young lady who work there that there a fly on the bread. Her answer was surprisingly very rude: "what do you want me to do? Catch the fly? The people walked in and out the door so the fly went in!". We're so surprised by her response and our jaws literally almost drop to the floor. We didn't say anything and just walked out the store. That'll be my last visit to the store! read more

This hurts me to do, but this location was an absolute disappointment. While out running some errands, Mom and I wanted a quick pick me up, maybe a coffee and a little snack/sandwich . Needless to say, this wasn't the right choice. Yes, Great Harvest makes amazing bread and bakery items, but the service here and our sandwiches left us underwhelmed. Upon arriving there was only one other customer ordering some bread and baked goods. There were four workers, yet only one was assisting customers. So, the one persons order took over 20 minutes because there was some difficulty with the entry in the system. Ok, we were patient. We decided to order two sandwiches, from the 5 or 6 they offer. After another 30 minutes are sandwiches were delivered to us. Yes, the bread was great, but they skimped on the fixings and did not have a knife for the mayo, that I asked for on the side. I had to use a spoon to add it..yes, I asked for it on the side because I had never had it and wasn't sure if I would like it. It was a pesto mayo. And, glad I did because it didn't taste anything like pesto, almost a bad bitter taste in my mouth. Needless to say I most likely won't return to this location and if I do it would only be for baked bread or rolls. read more

Rosemary bread is Great. I'm sure all of them are. Prices are pretty high for bread. We did get the pepperoni rolls this morning and while they taste very good half of them literally have no pepperoni in them. The three that did had maybe a slice at best. I know protein is expensive but if you sell pepperoni rolls you have to add pepperoni. Taste was still good like rosemary bread In a biscuit form. But would never buy again. read more

Amazing bread. Not sure I love the staff as one was pretty rude, but hopefully we will not ahve to deal with him again. The breads are all amazing read more

What a great little place. I visit at least once a week. Great customer service. The staff will always ask if I want a sample of something. Hell yes I want a little taste of something! Thanks for asking! The Cinnamon Chip Bread is TO DIE FOR!!!!! AND thanks to the girl behind the counter I now know that they offer the Cinnamon Chip Bread in Whole Wheat. Yippee! But know this, they only make it on Thursdays. The Dakota Bread is also a favorite in our house. One slice is like a meal. Around Easter, they offer large and small Bunny Breads. Honey Wheat bread in the shape of Bunnies. How cute is that? I ordered one this past Easter. It was a conversation piece for Easter Feast and it was very yummy too. read more

What a pleasant and bustling little bakery! I can't go near the Trader Joe's next door without peeping in its windows to see what fresh baked goodies are screaming at me from the display case. They change daily. The fresh breads are excellent but I really go for the sweets, my favorites being the Savannah Bars and the ginger spiced cookies. The muffins are huge and flavorful (and can be very filling). They serve sandwiches but they are just okay. Service is always friendly and helpful. This place is a Gotta Try (especially if you go to Trader Joes). read more

3 words: cinnamon chip bread. You will not regret it. A fluffy loaf speckled with melted cinnamon chips. The perfect amount of sweetness. I eat it straight from the bag but it also works great for French toast. They came out with an extreme cinnamon chip bread that is very sweet and very cinnamony since there is a swirl of the filling they use for their cinnamon rolls. If you are lucky, the bread has just come out of the oven and is still warm by the time it reaches your kitchen counter. Of course, there is a large selection of other bread, along with sandwiches and various dessert items that you can sample at the counter. The girl working at the cashier was super friendly and bubbly, answering all my questions patiently. read more

I really love this little place! Unlike some of the other reviews, I have never received poor customer service here. In fact, they have always been very kind whenever I have been. I love going to Trader Joe's and then stopping by for bread on my way out. I like the Dakota bread as an everyday type bread but occassionally will treat myself to some of their other delicious goodies. read more

Really love their bread here. The cinnamon chip is a standard. Usually get 2 loaves, one for French Toast on the weekend and the other to have just for toast as a treat. The kids love it. The rosemary garlic is a great compliment for italian night or to dip in oil. Folks are super nice. read more

highly recommend the cinnamon chip scuffin!! mhm so good. bought some cheddar garlic bread and a lemon bar. everything was fresh and . i'll attach a picture of their weekly bread and pastry menu for june and july 2020 below :) read more

This is a great little bread bakery, not fancy, just good. There are a lot of bakeries popping up around Charlotte, but lots seem to be filled with fancy pastries or loads of donuts at a hefty price tag. While I'm all about supporting local business sometimes I can't / don't want to spend 4.50 on a sugary french concoction. I know that GHB is a chain, a rather large chain, but I really, like this location. Right next to Trader Joe's and on my way to work, I've stopped here a few times in the morning. They aren't usually very busy, the staff is very friendly and their pastries are the perfect sidekick to my morning coffee. A little taste of happiness on my way to work. They are extremely fresh as well! For my waistline, this bakery is a bad place, for a sweet treat it is perfect. I've never tried the breads, but I have tried the scuffins ( scone-muffin combination) and the mini cinnamon rolls both delicious. The scuffins are the size of your palm and $2.15. read more

Based on the bread alone, 5 stars for sure. The white loaf is delicious. I was pretty disappointed with the customer service. There were plenty of racks of bread everywhere, but very little product was actually for sale. The clerk mumbled some type of explanation i didn't really catch, but in the end we could pretty much choose between white and honey wheat. Then she explains to me that they would not be able to slice my loaves because they were using the equipment to slice the other (custom?) orders. Really? I know how the slicing machine works. It takes about 30 seconds per loaf. You can't be bothered to slice my loaves? I'll stick with Breadsmith. read more

I love fresh bread made with all natural ingredients - no yucky chemicals or corn syrup. Two of my regular favorites are the Whole Grain Goodness ( Whole Wheat Flour, Millet, Barley, Flax Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Walnuts, Almonds, & Oat Bran) and the Dakota (with whole wheat flour and pumpkin & sunflower seeds). On occasion, we also enjoy the Foccacia. The cookies are a real treat as are the seasonal specialty sweet breads. You'll have to get your fix Tues - Sat as they are closed on Sun & Mon. Also, don't wait too late in the day to go or they will be sold out of all the good stuff! read more

In addition to their great breads, they have awesome cookies... I HIGHLY recommend you buy a batch of their chocolate chip cookie mix. It's RIDICULOUSLY easy to make... soft butter, 1 egg and 2 Tbsp water in a mixer... the cookies taste scratch made (they practically are since there's nothing artificial in the mix). My ONLY complaint is the instructions say 12-16 minutes to bake... they need a legitimate 20 minutes in the oven at 325 degrees (which is the temp the instructions said to bake at). If you have kids and you need to bring snack for sports or school for any reason... get that bag of cookie mix!! read more

This place makes 'THE' best bread I've ever tasted. They use just plain, traditional ingredients with no preserves or other crap you typically find in factory produced breads --they even grind their own whole wheat! I've had several of their breads, cookies, and brownies, all of which were amazing. If you're unsure about something, they have a full range of their products you can sample. Here are some I'd highly recommend: *Whole Grain Goodness *Honey Whole Wheat *White *Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie *Cosmic Brownies Since the first time I shopped here, I haven't purchased baked products anywhere else. read more

Wow! Not only great Bread, but even better customer service. I stopped by and grabbed 10 loaves of cinnamon chip bread for clients and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, as I waited for my order. They explained that the bread isn't slice or bagged because it was too hot, but provided bags and ties so I could wrap them when I got home. Best bakery in town! read more

I hate to say this but these are times where we must be extremely careful. I went into the store to pick up some cinnamon chip bread and cookies. Well to my surprise the lady on the register went and grabbed my cookies and brownies with the gloves that she uses to take the credit cards and cash from customers-- did not bother using the white paper to grab them. The worse part is when I brought it to her attention she just said OK and didn't bother to give me a new batch after I told her I was going to have to throw away what she gave me. And might I remind you, this place is not cheap. Extremely disappointed!!! read more

They claim they make sandwiches between 10:30 and 2:30. I don't believe it is an offering, although they claim they do offer them. Every time I have been in there, during their so-called sandwich time, they aren't making them. It's one excuse after another. We're short staffed, the sandwich guy called in sick, etc. It's not all that difficult to take two pieces of bread and slap meat and cheese on it. It has been challenging to get one. New day...new try.... sandwiches are supposedly from 10:30 - 2:30.... I called at 10:37am...Me: "are you making sandwiches today?" Them: "yes, but not until 11:00am). So, I get there at 11:05am........ They aren't making sandwiches until 1pm!!!! I CALLED and was told 11!!! I have legitimately tried to get a sandwich from this place. It has been an epic fail each time. Go to Crunch Bistro instead....they make sandwiches! read more

Was in the store this past Friday and was really impressed. Was served by a friendly sales lady with bunny ears whose upbeat and friendly manner made my day. Love their cinnamon chip bread (it also makes great French toast) and sweets. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

What am I addicted to here? What am I addicted to here? What am I addicted to here? What am I addicted to here? OK so I like there bread. Maybe I have a problem. It could be the cinnamon swirl. It might be the Spinach Feta. I'm not sure. My biggest problem is when they're closed or when they're menu revolves and then I have to start a new addiction because the bread I'm currently addicted isn't being made and they say here's a free taste. It's ok. Just try it. It won't hurt you. Then the cycle starts all over again. read more

This bakery speaks for itself. Go try it. You will not leave unhappy. Sandwiches, fresh bread and desserts. Get out of your home and try them read more

It's All Good! but the "Dakota" bread is our favorite! Get Some, get some today!

This bread shop offers a wonderful variety of delicious breads and treats. Their special breads for the different holidays are unmatched by any other bakery. My favorite is the cinnamon chip or extreme cinnamon, toasting it makes it melt in your mouth with so much flavor. Their muffins and scuffing are also great breakfast treats. I would recommend going in and trying their samples and I guarantee you will be hooked. Also, the staff is friendly and anxious to help. read more

My family loves GHB! Our favorites are the cinnamon chip, The Dakota, and the honey wheat. I also love the cookies...the Dakota is amazing. And the cookie mixes are terrific. I buy the oatmeal mix and add chocolate chips. AND (when in season), the lemon bars are as good as the ones I make from scratch. Delicious! read more

Good wholesome baked goods with no added preservatives or fake stuff. Their cookies are very good.

One of our soon to be regular indulgences!! Can't seem to get past the cinnamon chip bread to try many of the others delectables yet but that's the goal! read more

The breads, muffins and cookies are amazing at Great Harvest Bread Co. This is the only bread we eat in our house anymore! We make a trip to the bakery at least once if not twice a week. Great customer service as well. read more

Thank goodness Great Harvest is in Charlotte. The quality of their bread is first class. Forget the grocery stores, make a special visit to Great Harvest. As a plus, they believe in corporate philanthropy. read more

For anyone who is Gluten Free, they make 3 different GF breads on Tuesdays only. They sell out quickly! They are very thorough in their preparation and baking to ensure there are zero traces of gluten, hence why they only bake it one day a week. It's by far the best GF bread that my wife and I have found anywhere. read more

I love this bakery for an easy and tasty lunch during the work week. There is rarely a line, and the sandwiches are seriously delicious. I love to get half a sandwich and cookie (which are enormous and incredibly good!). The service is always great, and often the cashier will offer samples of the pastries and cookies while waiting for a sandwich. All around great place! read more
