A must when in upper Arlington! When you walk in you see all the employees working hard making the bread. The cinnamon one is so good!

Tiny place.....but they have good bread particularly the cinnamon bread. The only downside is that the bread is on the pricey side. But hey when your grandson demands it, ya get it. read more

The cinnamon rolls and xtreme cinnamon bread are my favorites. They make there bread fresh daily. They have cookies and gluten free bread as well. The staff is always helpful and friendly too. read more

The service here was excellent. This was our first visit to Great Harvest, and they were very patient as we perused our options and placed our order. Their bread card (buy 5 loaves, get a free cookie; buy 10 loaves, get a free loaf) was explained and prepared for us to take. They also offered us a flyer explaining what breads/goodies are regulars, and which ones appear on certain days of the week or upcoming special occasions. We tried a lemon sunburst, a pepperoni roll, and a brownie for our first visit. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The lemon loaf was so fresh out of the oven that we were advised to wait 2 hours before bagging it in the plastic bag they enclosed, instead leaving it open in a paper bag to carry it home in. It was still warm when we had our first bites! The brownie was a huge square and full of chocolatey goodness. Parking is plentiful in the large shopping center lot. We're definitely curious to try more from the delicious flavor options, and those giant cookies also looked tasty! read more

Working at Great Harvest was difficult. Eviction hearings in 2024 and 2025. Unpaid wages for employees submitted to Ohio Dept of Commerce in May 2025. Resigned due to wages unpaid. Payroll checks were returned due to non sufficient funds three times in 2025 alone. read more

Wonderful bakery in Upper Arlington! Came in on a weekday morning and was promptly greeted. Selection (and scents) were vast. I appreciated the offer for a sample of ginger cookie or pumpkin bread. I opted for the latter and it was INCREDIBLE. Insanely moist and soft. Outstanding flavor. Seriously delicious. We opted for a loaf of gluten free bread and garlic cheddar - $15 out the door. Haven't tried them yet but am confident they'll be tasty. Five stars for friendly service and great products! read more

Yummy. I had been all over looking for bread bowls no one makes them anymore so I go to great harvest and they said they don't make them every day, but I could put in a request and pick them up later and I did and they were fresh out of the oven. They were delicious and I will do it again thank you so much read more

I made a special trip here for cinnamon bread one night last week. They were out of the extreme cinnamon, but I got a loaf of cinnamon chip, the cinnamon butter, and two brownies. Great customer service, and the best bread ever. The brownies were amazing. The cinnamon chip makes awesome french toast (with the cinna butter too). I've been here several times over the years and highly recommend a visit. My favorite is their White Chocolate Cherry, which is available on Fridays. read more

Went to pick up a order for the holiday. Employees are nice and speedy. I sampled the cinnamon chip bread and it was delicious! My garlic cheese bread was just coming out of the oven! So excited to taste it later at the holiday party we were going too. The Kentucky bourbon fruit cake was excellent and the pizza bread really delicious when I heated up a slice. read more

Cookies are large, soft, have the homemade taste of fresh oats and chocolate. Bread is all very soft and delicious- nothing tastes chain-y or artificial grocery store style at all here and prices are very reasonable. Cinnamon honey butter is $4.95, cookies just under $2. read more

Great Harvest Bread - Walnut oatmeal chocolate chip cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I don't often get bread here, but I would like to advocate for the pepperoni roll. First of all, it's bigger than my hand. Get one of these fresh out of the oven and you have a warm and delicious meal (or two if you're like me and can't eat it all). Second, you can get it with or without banana peppers. I didn't discover this until recently and was pleasantly surprised as pepperoni and banana peppers is my favorite pizza combo! There's also cheese inside, but nothing that takes away from the amazing dough. They also make delicious chocolate brownies that have chips in them. I don't have a picture because I ate it almost immediately after purchase. I highly recommend getting one when they have it. They don't always have the same food every day but you can always preorder items. They also do a rewards card to get free bread. I like this location the best and it's been the most consistent for me. Don't miss out on the free bread samples before you leave! read more

Great Harvest Bread - Pepperoni roll - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great Harvest Bread is a great spot for baked goodies. Fresh and delicious with friendly and helpful staff. I was in search of the cinnamon bread for making French Toast at home.

My mom has been bringing us here since we were kids. It is hands down the BEST bread in all of columbus, maybe the country, maybe even the world. They have so many different varieties, our favorites are the cinnamon xtreme and the Gluten Free cinnamon, but the whole wheat honey is also delicious. Each loaf is around $5.50 and they make great gifts- people are always delighted. When you go into the store, they will offer you a sample of bread with some spread (butter, jam, etc) which makes the experience even better. You can win a free cookie after 5 loaves bought, and a free loaf after 10 loaves bought. The only small disappointment is that the cookies are not as good as they look; I would recommend sticking to the bread. read more

The bread and bakery products here are outstanding. A short list of simple ingredients and fresh milled flour are key parts of what makes them special. The cookies are divine and delicious. The have a nutty depth of flavor with just the right (maybe too much for some) amount of sweetness. Expect free samples to be on the counter when you arrive. The bread is fantastic, I especially like the honey whole wheat. Don't stock up unless you've got a freezer...few if any preservatives in their products. Mixes are available for some products. If you're not too far away, I recommend supplementing your grocery shopping trips with a regular visit to Great Harvest Bread. read more

The bread here is amazing! They have samples of a variety of fresh breads and butters to try, all made in the store. I tried regular white bread with garlic and herb butter, it was excellent. We purchased a loaf of the cinnamon bread, which was very delicious. They also have a variety of spreads and mixes in the store. There were a lot of customers coming in as we were leaving. It seems to be a very popular bakery, I can see why. read more

Consistently great bread and service. All locations do not meet the same level of quality and this is the best I've tried so far.

Do you like bready treats? Go here. Try the cheddar bread with garlic butter-you'll love it. Buy a loaf of the cinnamon extreme bread-you're going to die when you taste it! Seriously the best bread ever! Why did we wait so long to try it?! read more

Boy oh boy, this is carb heaven! The shop is small, since the real gem is in the product you take home. I could write all day about how my mouth drools or how I can completely demolish a loaf in 2 seconds, but instead I will just give you my recommendations: -Pizza bread -Extreme cinnamon roll bread -White chocolate cherry bread -Cheese and jalapeno bread -ANY of the cookies, I swear, any of them! (sidenote, they are huge!) read more

I don't really understand some of the other reviews of this bakery, Great Harvest doesn't make crusty types of breads, because its not what they do, If you want that you should head to Omega Bakery at the North Market. The menu changes every month and varies from day to day. I think my favorites have to be the golden wheat cinnamon chip and the cinnamon swirl, they are both great for breakfast. They also make slew of other items which are delicious, like cinnamon rolls, a variety of cookies, brownies, bars and scones. I don't think I have ever had anything bad here, plus you can always sample before you you buy. read more

I've been several times, and while they have a few decent things, for the most part, this is not the place to go if you like bread. It's all very soft, sweet and really doughy. They don't make any good crusty artisan breads. I don't think the oven temp is set very high and ALL of their breads are loaded with sugar. They do make really good cookies, but their brownies taste like they are made from a mix. They also don't make everything everyday, so you have to look at their schedule and plan ahead so you don't show up hoping to get something only to be told you'll have to wait until Thurs. They DO give out generous free samples, however they only really like to sample what's already on the board though so if you want to try something else, expect a few dirty looks. It's also pretty expensive. Expect to be pay $7 for a loaf of bread. I will occasionally stop in if I'm over that way and want a sweet fix, but this is not the place to get good bread. read more

I wanted a whole wheat bread with minimal ingredients. Since I was at the TJ Maxx, I decided to stop by here. The man at the counter was not friendly at all. They had samples, but he didn't offer me any. I didn't bother to ask for a sample because of his unfriendliness. (even though I absolutely love to sample free stuff!) The whole wheat honey bread was good, but nothing special to make me want to buy it again. read more

Cookies are great! Oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip - I've tried them and can't get enough. Asiago bread was good but their sample size was so large that I had to share with 3 family members. Friendly staff, nestled in the shopping plaza that I frequent often but hadn't noticed it til now. I'll definitely be back! read more

I love this place. Great little neighborhood bakery that lets you sample anything as long as they have enough in stock. The people are nice and I love the pink cards that earn you a free cookie and free loaf if you buy bread regularly. Awesome place to frequent. read more

Great Harvest Bread - Kula bar - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Pretty sure the morning I visited I surprised the workers as I came in the door 3 minutes after they opened. Gotta get brownies for coworkers if you know what I mean! Anyway, I was greeted and helped quickly so that I could get on with my morning. I asked for 6 of the brownies and they were fresh and still hot when they were cut and packaged for my order. I have had several other sweets from here and they all have been wonderful. I would definitely come in and get the brownies again... they were fabulous! If you're on a diet, this might be a place to steer clear so you don't get hooked. read more

Very disappointed. Recently purchased 2 of their breads, white and focaccia, they were both very dense and dry. The focaccia had an unusual but not appealing taste. Will not return. read more

The man who offers samples is very unfriendly and not helpful. The cookies and treats are better than the bread. Whatever you do don't pick the white loaf--It is heavy, doesn't toast well, and I just threw it out. It was like eating a wad of dough. They need to bake a crusty bread, not just sugar-filled dough balls. Sorry! read more

This is not your everyday bread company. They are SO much more!! First thing when you walk in the shop is the aroma - it is heaven. Then they offer you a sample. Drool worthy! Then your eyes rather glaze over as you peruse the options of the day. Try not only the daily breads but also the specialty ones. Don't forget the scones, cookies and other items. If it is a bit out of your way, be assured, it's worth the trip. read more

An EXCELLENT place for the carb-unconscious! (Read: me) Be prepared to get jealous looks from your Atkins-dieter counterpart stepping inside GNC next door. You've been warned. Bread menu changes day-to-day although everyday breads include: Honey Whole Wheat, Old-fashioned White, Ten Grain Whole Wheat, and the Pepperoni Rolls. With the exception of the pepperoni rolls, everything else seemed too plain for me, which is why I have always opted for other wholesome goodnesses such as: Cinnamon Swirl, Cheddar Garlic, and Cherry Chocolate Swirl. The Cherry Chocolate Swirl could easily be a dessert in of itself! Keep in mind that Great Harvest's definition of 'swirl' translates to thick layer. Other offerings at Great Harvest include deli sandwiches, scones, and cookies. Great Harvest also carries a wide selection of spreads and preserves. I highly recommend getting the cinnamon butter spread, which complements most bread options, as well as the pineapple preserve. A hidden gem tucked away in the strip mall at the corner of Reed and Henderson! read more

I'm glad I found them after seeing an ad on TV. Wonderful bread and very helpful staff and owners! Did everything over the phone, called when I was parked in front of the store. They brought it out and placed in my hatch. Great Service, ate half of it when I got home. It was still warm! Can't say enough! Looking forward to trying every kind! read more

I like that you get to sample the bread before you commit to a loaf. Also everything is local and organic. I only wish they had more traditional crusty rustic loaves. read more

I love the Gone With Gluten bread, the cinnamon rolls and the pepperoni rolls. Customer service is great and I look forward to shopping there again. read more

The chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are flat out amazing. The cinnamon roll bread is excellent, too.

I have been to this bakery a few times and I will cosign the sentiment that this is carb heaven. first off they let you sample the bread and they have multiple types of bread that you can try out and slather in butter...mmmm butter on carbs....the sundried tomato was my fave until i tried the super cinnamon one and OMG it's basically a cinnamon roll masquerading as bread. i tried it and immediately bought a loaf. I've also had a Choc chip cookie and a brownie which were good as well though nothing to hit the floor about. they have a ton of spreads/butters which I think are locally made though i haven't tried any yet. I love this place, wish they had croissants!! read more

Cinnamon chip bread, it's the best. Kids love the pizza roll. Fruit bars good, blueberry is the best IMHO. Staff is good, not great, but I have high expectations. It's a tad pricey, but free samples even that out. read more

Wow! Just wow!!! Can't say enough good things about this place! Excellent variety of fresh breads and sweet breads....so hard to choose from as they are all very tasty and sure to please any rising occasion!. With the wonderful aroma as you enter the store plus the friendly greeting of the staff with a welcomed sample of your choice with butter or without....you're hooked! Keep up the good work Great Harvest Bread, as we will continue to be your long time customer! Can't wait to stop in again!!!! read more

If you are wanting the best bread to purchase with the least amount of ingredients that are fresh ground whole wheat this is the place for you!! Well worth the drive, the money and time to visit this bakery. Plus, the free samples they offer make you want to go back and try everything they make. Best bread bakery in Columbus! read more

Drove nearly an hour to get cinnamon chip bread as my kids love it, only for the man at the counter who claimed to be the owner to be extremely rude in front of my children. No thanks read more

I have been frequenting this bread shop for years and the only time I am ever disappointed is when I get there later in the day and most of the bread is gone. Someone else mentioned they don't have any crusty Italian style breads, that is true. However, the breads they do make are soft and delicious. My favorites are the cheddar garlic loaf and the cinnamon swirl. If you get the cinnamon swirl look for the whipped cinnamon butter in the refrigerator to go with it. If you want to see a menu of the breads they are having (they rotate a schedule) check out their website www.greatharvestua.com. read more
