I wish this place came with a scratch and sniff option for the review. It smells like warm, fresh bread on a sunny day. The bread is always great, I've come here for years and it's been consistently tasty. There are free bread samples, today was cinnamon, spread with fresh butter. I ordered a turkey and provolone sandwich for lunch, sides were extra and with a $10 sandwich I didn't want to spend any more. The sandwich only took a few minutes to prepare and came out fresh with a smile! You know what, on second thought after taking my first bite of sandwich, the price is definitely worth it. There's so much turkey, fresh greens, and the bread is moist and delish! It's such a big sandwich, I don't need any sides and I'll probably have the other half for dinner. They also have dog biscuits and treats! Snag some for your furry friend after grabbing some great bread. read more

I love stepping into this little gem in Dundee. As a kid, I grew up visiting the Rock room location with my mom, who LOVED to go get free slices and grab a loaf or two for entertaining. It was so fun to stop in "just because" recently and discover they're still serving up free slices. Plus, they have a small lunch + coffee menu! A worthwhile way to grab some freshly baked goods in a charming part of Omaha read more

Love to try the. Stupid bread samples. They have li carb, cinnamon, and a host of flavors. Their veggie sandwich is a favorite. Recently, with new ownership, it appears to have a more stable staff. It's a great place for lunch or just to pop in for. Snack. read more

Love both locations. I'm fairly sure you can't buy 1/2 a loaf (if so I missed it), but I think it would be a great offering to have that. Haven't had a bad bread here, but always curious about the different varieties but not wanting to get a full loaf. read more

Your neighborhood bread store! This is a great little shop in Dundee offering fresh bread for the most part, but also soup and sandwiches at lunch, a smattering of cookies and other small treats, and some fresh baking mixed and spices. Really fun little shop to walk in. Pro tip, coffee and a fresh slice of bread is $1.50 at breakfast! My favorite is their sourdough, which runs about $5 for a loaf, but the challah, tomato basil, and some of the dessert breads are all delicious (all around $8). If you need a fresh loaf, stop in here, but go early or you might miss all the best choices! read more

Why the heck haven't I come here before?! This is what I was asking myself after finally going inside. The older couple that works the front area. You can just tell how much they adore their jobs and they are some of the sweetest folks. They're also familiar looking to me because they do both farmers markets. Anyways, their Coffee + a slice for $1 drew me inside. Upon entering, the most heavenly bread smells hits your nose and you know you have found the proper place. It's like an old fashioned bakery with real loves of bread on the shelves freshly, made and being brought out. They also had cakes and giant cookies for not very much. On one wall they had pre-made baking mixes and the other they had a small seating area and a drink cooler. The older gentlemen who works there offered us tons of free samples with real butter and local honey. He proudly told us they mill their own grains fresh and you can taste it in the bread. I was joking around with him about how good the bread is, but I thought mine might be better. It was good fun! He also told us they have some of the best sandwiches in town. Sadly I was waiting on food from the Falafel shoppe down the street otherwise I would have taken him up on the offer. My husband and I ended up getting a slice of honey whole wheat (which he claims is their most popular) with a bottle of water, he said you don't have to get coffee if you didn't want to. I put copious amounts of butter and honey on top and oh I was a happy happy girl. We even went back a second time for another slice with water and I WISH I would have gotten a sandwich there, oh well, maybe next time. They also have a monthly menu that does change and I find myself wanting to return to try them all. However of all the Tuesday breads, I think the whole wheat was best, which YAY they have all week! If you HATE whole wheat bread because you think it's too dense or grainy, you need to try this one. It was soft and fluffy like white bread would be. If I was to have one complaint it would be the bread is pretty high priced. The whole wheat was $6 but the loaf looked pretty large. If I didn't already have bread at home I would have bought one. I over heard him telling another lady to save the label because once you collect 12 you get a free loaf, that's pretty cool! The shoppe is also a little hidden, it's on the Underwood street just east of 50th on the north side of the road under what I'm assuming is their home. Seriously... I want to go back again! read more

If you stop in, you will walk in to a friendly face. I was offered a free sample of the Cinnamon bread, and man was it tasty. I went in looking for goodies, walked out with a pound of bread and some cinnamon rolls. All were very tasty! Highly recommend this homey, elegant bread store! read more

All I can say is if you want to walk in a business and instantly be greeted by maybe some of the nicest people on the planet, go to Great Harvest's Dundee location. The best part is they give you FREE bread while they're at it. I tried the Dakota bread last visit and it's interesting but delicious, and chock full of sunflower seeds. Add a little of the butter and honey they have available and you're set. They even try to give you more free bread after you've finished your slice. A good variety of breads and other baked goods i.e. Cookies, kolaches, are available for purchase as well. Cinnamon chip is highly recommended. One reason I go to great harvest is for their granola...it's insanely delicious. It's cooked in orange juice which makes it slightly unique and oh so good. read more

What can you say about a business that gladly hands out free samples? I have passed by this location for years, but today as I was photographing Dundee I happened to park right in front of the store. I was about to leave but remembering their free samples, and I really wanted a nice loaf of bread, I decided to see what I could find. The free sample sitting on the counter this Saturday was a White Chocolate Cherry Swirl. It was to die for. Next to a sizable tub of butter didn't make it any worse. I was ready to buy a loaf, but being the end of the week, their selection was limited and this had sold out. I saw their selection of scones, and I made sure these got sold out next. The lady serving me was a hoot. She talked about the Vienna Orchestra (apparently in her first life she was a musician) and convinced me to YouTube "Hamilton" a Rapped Opera. I almost tried one of their sandwiches, but I was in a hurry. That was what actually first caught my attention, I did not know they had soups and sandwiches, and very reasonably priced. I will return if not for a loaf of bread (and free sample) but to try their roast beef sandwich. read more

Excellent and beyond pleasant service in the mornings. Lovely Lady is always working when we come in and she is simply awesome. I cannot believe I haven't caught her name yet. The kids love the free slices of cinnamon chip bread and we always pack up on dog biscuits and every so often something else... chocolate m&m whole wheat brownies, cinnamon rolls (tasty bite doesn't even cover it), and the occasional full loaf purchase. The new breakfast biscuits are delicious and a deal. In the past le quartier had the market on a quick breakfast for our "walking picnics" but now we have options. It is appreciated that the bakery makes everything from scratch, which justifies the prices, however I do wish they would cut corn syrup out of their recipes. This limits our purchases to the occasional versus the go to. read more

Go here mainly for their Cinnamon chip (?) bread, found out about it because they had a little stand downtown at the Old Market farmer's market and it's absolutely amazing. Easily finished off a full loaf with me and my girlfriend while waiting on drinks at a nearby bar.. Cinnamon loaf bread is one of their signature slightly sweeter breads, isn't too overwhelmingly sweet but has a subtle cinnamon flavor that lingers! Highly recommend. PS dog-friendly: Have pretty big dog treats for sale too for those dog lovers out there!! read more

Every time I've come here, I've been warmly greeted and treated like a welcomed friend. I love getting sandwiches here and also enjoy buying the loaves separately. I usually ask for their personal favorite when I order because they know what they're talking about. The samples of the day's bread are also a nice touch. I would highly recommend if you want a neighborhood gem that really delivers on producing quality bread and personable customer service. read more

Stopped by in a pinch to get a loaf of bread to go with dinner. On our walk home, we questioned why the loaf was so heavy! Well... turns out it was underbaked (raw). We can't serve this to our company! read more

Seems no one's reviewed Great Harvest in a while. As we all know, both locations have been enticing customers in off the street with their "Free Slices" sign for several years now. And I have to say when I was a starving/hungover college student living in Dundee, this place was a real lifesaver on many an occasion. You'd walk right in and they'd offer you a giant slice of their delicious bread that you could slather in butter and honey if you'd like (oh, I like). Fuel for the soul when your tank is running on empty. Over the years, as I became less of a broke-ass and I started actually buying their bread (the bakery is located at their Rockbrook location, btw). And most varieties I've tried are extra-hardy but soft to the touch from inside to crust. While it isn't exactly cheap for a loaf of bread (they start at around $5 on up), it should last you an entire week. But since it's made fresh right here in Omaha, you should definitely refrigerate it to ensure a couple extra days of freshness. Also, their sandwiches are all good. Fresh meats, cheeses, veggies, etc. served up on fresh bread. About as simple and tried-and-true of a concept in the universe, but done well nonetheless. Kudos to Great Harvest for offering a pretty decent vegetarian option as well. Now back to the free slices. On my latest visit here, the free slices were shoved off to the back of the shop, whereas before you'd walk in to see the tray of slices right next to the cash register, which were then offered to you right off the bat. This time around, I had to ask about the free slices myself, and kind of awkwardly tip-toed around other customers to get to the goods. Not sure if this was a one time deal or if they changed their policy to not push the free slices as much. No matter. If fresh, locally baked bread is something you're into, Great Harvest has something you'll love. read more

Hands down the best bakery in the Omaha area, i don't think that i came across another that can be compared to Great Harvest. I was driving by after an appointment and saw the 'coffee and a slice for $1' and was so thrill that the bakery was still around. My grandparents use to take us in there for free samples when i was a kiddo. read more

FInd freshly baked loaves of wholesome bread here. Buy a whole loaf or order one of many sandwich options on your choice of bread. Add a bowl of soup and finish with a sweet bakery treat. This friendly shop is tucked into the east end of the Dundee business strip. Fresh. Homemade. Local. read more

The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with walnuts are really good. They are a little on the sweet side, but still yummy!

Great Harvest makes absolutely the best bread I've ever had that my mom didn't bake at home. ...And maybe even then. They'll be more than happy (insistent, even) to give you free slices to try -- and they're not small slices, either. The bread isn't necessarily cheap ($5-7 for most loaves), but in a bite you'll know where the money goes. Plus, it's baked fresh, so it's bound to be better for you than store-bought. I am in love with their 9 grain, but have had various breads infused with cheese and their cornbread as well, and have found each to be as good as it gets. One small caveat: although I've only had their sandwiches once, I found that the quality of the sandwich didn't match the quality of the bread. But that was, again, just once, and besides, their loaves are so good I don't mind taking them home and making my own. read more

Great place! You can come right in and have a slice of bread for free. I believe this was reasonably priced for a place that is local and fresh. We got the onion and dill bread. We really enjoyed it. Not just a bread and butter type. We made some great sandwiches with it, too. I would definitely recommend this place for others to try out! read more

The cinnamon chip bread is a family favorite. I always feel bad bringing in a few kids- once they've all had a sample, we've practically gotten a free loaf. But we will always be back. Last time I tried the white chocolate raspberry bread. Wow. Wish that was on the regular menu. read more

I love this neighborhood gem! We walk there for a slice of bread and coffee. Everything here is good! Free bread samples, whipped butter and honey - available for purchase also - sandwiches, soup, biscotti, cinnamon rolls, all kinds of bread!! And they have baked goods for your furry friend also! And not to be discounted, the service is outstanding! Always friendly and helpful staff. read more

This place is awesome. They have free slices of bread every day, plus cookies, soup, etc. Definitely check it out if possible.

Every time I go I think I must branch out; however, I see that wheat bread and my mouth waters. I have it sliced for sandwiches and toast. Makes THE best toast, and I know it's healthy. Like others who have commented, it's hard to believe it's a chain. Tastes totally homemade. They also make gluten-free and have a variety of breads and treats. I must try them. . .I must try them. . .I must. . . read more

Inconsistent. Apparently depends on who is working. Had it yesterday and it was good. Today - not so much. "Best ever BLT" had one piece of bacon. And onions, for some reason. Took 30 minutes to make three of them. read more
