I would always drive pass by this place and once I notice it, it would be too late (I don't like turning back/rerouting). Today was the day I remembered! WOW! The smell of bread just passes though your nose goes out to your ear and through your nose again. We got a cinnamon bun and blueberry scone. The blueberry scone was amazing. Nice fluffy and is packed with flavor. It has chunks of cream cheese inside that I felt was a genius idea! Great for a quick breakfast! There is tons of parking so there is no need to worry. They have a low carb bread which I'm excited to try the next time I visit. read more

I used to go to Great Harvest Bread in college alllllll the time. I'm not going to lie, sometimes we would go just to get a free slice of bread. I know, my broke ass couldn't even buy a loaf of bread...Well, I could but I would rather have spend it on going out to eat or booze... Anyway, I had only been to this location once before but I don't think I bought anything. I just wanted to see if they had my favorite cinnamon swirl and almond babka loafs...Unfortunately they didn't at the time so I didn't really come back until yesterday. I was at Lanikai Juice and remembered that Great Harvest was right around the corner so we decided to walk over and check it out. They only had a cheese bread, a healthy non-carb Kauai bread, a honey wheat, and a cinnamon chip bread available. I like healthy whole grain breads but I was feeling a sweet tooth coming on and decided to splurge on the cinnamon chip. (Its like $8 for a loaf) I tried a slice of the cinnamon chip and decided this was it. It wasn't even warm yet but it was doughy and I have a weakness to doughy bread. I knew that when toasted and buttered that crispy, slightly toasted outside and the doughy inside slathered with butter would be unbeatable....And it was..I just enjoyed a slice this morning with a big glass of milk. Yum! YELP 365: 227/365 read more

The sandwich I bought from here saved my life!!! It was New Year's Eve and my friends and I went on the Wiliwili Nui hike (OMG, I HATED IT). My friend mentioned it would take roughly three hours to complete so I definitely needed some food. I got their toasted turkey cobb sandwich without cheese or spread. While I was waiting, they gave me a sample slice of their cinnamon bread. It was delicious! During the hike, I didn't get a chance to sit down and enjoy my sandwich; my friends are moutaineers and I'm a city girl. Ready to pass out at the end, I reached in my bag and pulled out my lifesaver. I was worried my sandwich would be dry without cheese or spread but it was moist from the avocado. It was good but I'm sure it would've been much better fresh. Thanks Great Harvest Bread! Definitely wanna come back to check out their breads and scones. read more

Wow! Maybe i just haven't been in great harvest for a looonngggg time but boy have the prices gone out and over the roof! Wow wow wow! I don't remember paying 3.10 for a lemon bar or 10.00 for a bag of 6 cookies. Nor 3.00 something for the scones. What happened? Or was it the change in ownership? The other thing i didn't see was the sign outside the door listing what time the breads would be available. When did that stop? The staff are the same bubbly employees i think they're great with customer service. I hope the person enjoyed her snack i delivered because i had no $$$$ to splurge on myself. read more

I love being treated that way. Keep up the good work girls and I'll be back! Food: Healthy and tastes great! Service: Super friendly and not pushy. Atmosphere: Just right and intimate. Price: Well worth what you get...Great breads and excellent service. Parking: Enough...I've always managed to get front row. read more

Ok so I love their bread. I love their blueberry scones! Which is what the stars are for. But the last time i was there, I went to pick up a $50 order and I thought I'd try their lemon bars (which was just ok) and I was wanting a cup of coffee. I order, and the boy says to check if there's still coffee in the pot. I press/pour and get 1/2 a cup. He says is that ok? I say yes if you're gonna charge me half. He's says ok. So he rings me up and he charges me $1.75 plus tax!!!!!!!! For half a cup of coffee!!!!!! I could have went to Starbucks for a better lemon bar and cup of coffee for what I paid there. Especially after shelling out $50 for what I had ordered, he could have comped me HALF a cup!!! WORST part is, the coffee wasn't even hot!!!!!! Maybe they should teach their kids about customer appreciation! read more

Got a sandwich here, would have been great, but are they joking with these microscopic pieces of bread?? See attached pic... Hey guys, word to the wise, don't use the ends of your loaves as sandwich bread! Makes for a very sad and still hungry customer. read more

WOW - the Kahala Chicken sandwich is the bomb... Came into this place in need of some lunch after a morning of paddling and sun - figured I would pair a quick bite with some healthy juice from Lanikai Juice around the corner. Decided to try the Kahala Chicken Salad sandwich since the menu said it was a favorite. WOW - gotta have it with the squall bread. Perfect size and spiced just right. I got one in the morning and came right back in the afternoon due to the craving for more. Will be back - pls stock up on the Kahala Chicken! The place is pretty small and parking is so so, but plenty.....I will choose to walk over so I can enjoy the sandwich on my way home as well. Yummy for the Tummy.... read more

If you want something on the healthy side yet taste delicious? Go to the Great Harvest Bread Co. I thought Dave's did bread right until I ate here. The bread really made the sandwich extra ordinary. I had the breakfast sandwich that was not greasy, not one over powering flavor, just perfect. My friend had the turkey and just devoured it in no time flat. I thought I ate fast, lol. Too bad I live on the West Side bc I could definitely eat here every day. So if you are walking the Koko Head Crater trail, this is a good way to re-fuel yourself. BTW, they also have pastries, cookies, and a trail bar that might be worth getting prior to going up the hill. read more

I've been coming to this part of Kahala for a while now and I never knew this place was so good. First thing I walk in the door, stand In the doorway, look around a bit and the next thing is I'm being lured up to the counter by a friendly worker with a big handful of sample rosemary garlic bread and a select of 3 complimentary bread spreads which I had more of, you guessed it.. More Garlic!! So Delicious! Me and my girl got our own sandwich to spilt. I got their popular Chicken salad sandwich the rosemary garlic bread & my girl got the turkey sandwich with RGB. Yum yum & yummy!!!! Soo soft, so moist, fluffy and flavorful. They really know how to make bread that's for sure. I'm aware that bread can be undercooked and it is something people should look out for to save the body from food poisoning. I've had it and it's not fun. Though when I was here one of the workers asked her coworker to check the temperature of the loaves before handing it to the customer. Good looking out girl! I will be back to try other goodies! read more

I often dream of running through fields of grain and of the frontier spirit portrayed in the Little House books. Usually when that happens, a hankering for good whole wheat bread arises and I end up at Great Harvest Bread Co. They offer great breads and good service so that you can get your carbs and be on your way! As you approach the Kahala store, the smell of fresh bread wafting from their chimneys almost overwhelms you. Well, it could be bread, or perhaps a scone, or maybe a roll. In either case, whether you crave something sweet or something savory, you will be sure to find something. Whether it is the cream cheese scones or perhaps their BLT sandwich, it aims to please. Check out one of their samples while you are there and you probably will get hooked! Service is generally efficient and the staff are pretty quick to get your order completed and get you on your way. The store itself is fairly basic and there are only about 2 or 3 tables if you plan on getting a sandwich and eating there. You probably are better off just picking it up and heading to a nearby park. Prices are a little on the higher side with a 6 pack of rolls costing about $4.75 and loaves generally in the $5 to $6 range. Parking is usually available unless you go on Sunday's when Petland is having their puppy swap meet, but I don't think they are open on Sunday's come to think of it. Leaving the lot is another story, especially with the traffic along the highway. Definitely one of the better places on the island to grab some complex carbohydrates! Is it worth the trek if you aren't in the area? Heck yes! read more

FALSE ADVERTISING!!! Breads: 5/5 Cookies and Pastries: 3/5 Customer Service: 0/5 Overall: 1/5 - I gave it two stars so more people would read the review (since i routinely knock out the ones and fives to see what the true sentiment is on an establishment) The monthly ad for Great Harvest implies that you can buy a loaf of bread and if you mention the ad - you get a half loaf free. I went in and bought my regular loaf of fantastic, still warm, extremely tasty Kauai Crunch bread and asked for my half loaf of Kauai Crunch - only to be told that it's not a 1/2 loaf of any bread only one of their pre made 1/2 loafs. I asked the woman behind the counter if she could honor the ad and just cut a loaf in half - needless to say, she said no (otherwise I would not be posting this diatribe). I mentioned the ad again and she told me that if I did not want to have one of the pre made 1/2 loafs, I didn't have to participate in the offer. I then told her that her attitude was pissy, took my loaf, went home and have sat down at my computer to figure out what happened to customer service. Let me see how this could have been worked into a good solution for both of us: 1. the woman would have told me about the other loafs available 2. I repeat the ad offer, expressing my desire for a 1/2 loaf of the Crunch 3. She realizes she is dealing with an adamant (albeit a nut job) customer 4. She cuts a loaf in half and uses the remainder as a sample to hand out to customers In a market today with many people looking for jobs, it amazes me that companies still hire people unable to work outside the box and satisfy customers. If employers would stress customer satisfaction above all else, they would guarantee repeat patronage and not bad yelp reviews. read more

Good squall bread, and fresh veggies (lettuce, tomato, red onions) but the sandwiches are like Subway, processed roast beef, cheese, and sauce. OK in a pinch. read more

Great Harvest's blend of 'onoliciousness with a healthy twist is ALL that! As a fan of the bakery chain on the mainland, I was delighted to find GH stores in Hawai'i, too. They have 'm'm good bread, rolls (available by special order), cookies, scones, sandwiches, and more. My personal favorites are their raspberry scones and whole wheat cinnamon chip bread. This is one of the few places that lets you sample the goods prior to purchase, too, and they don't skimp on the serving size. You get a big hunk of bread that you can spread with fresh butter if you want. It's good for a snack all by itself! The prices here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for, I guess. The product is definitely fresh (baked daily), and delish. If you're a regular (or want to become one), be sure to get their rewards card...every 12 loaves or sandwiches, you get one free. The staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful, too. The Great Harvest Kahala location is on the mauka side of Kalaniana'ole Hwy, across from Kahala Mall. It's right next to Petland, in the same strip mall as Umeke Market. Hours are Mon-Sat 6:30am-6pm. Yelp 365 Challenge #079/365 read more

Woah baby! When it comes to bakeries, Great Harvest is the best of the best! Their breads and sweets change on the reg, so be sure to check their website to see what kinds of deliciousness is in store for you each day. OR you could be spontaneous and let them surprise you! You'll never be disappointed! (Unless you go later in the day and they're sold out of what you want.) Their breads are always baked fresh in the morning and their sweets are prepared the night before, so everything is always guaranteed fresh & ready to eat! Their breads vary from savory (ex: three cheese garlic...MY FAV!) to healthy (ex: honey whole wheat) to sweet (white chocolate cherry). The cinnamon chip bread makes the BEST french toast on the face of this earth and the pizza bread makes an awesome BBQ addition. Their cookies, muffins, and cinnamon rolls are to DIE for, and some of their sweets are made with whole wheat and are guilt free! (well, relatively...) ;) This location also makes amaaaazing sandwiches! Yum yum yum! read more

Woozy from having blood drawn, I walk into this lovely place smelling of fresh bread, with smiling faces asking if I would like to sample any of the breads. I must be in heaven. The angel cuts me a slice and as I take a bite, my suspicion is confirmed. Heavenly, just heavenly. I love that Rosemary Garlic bread, but I could literally eat the whole half loaf in one sitting so I got the 5 Fiber, which has 5g of Fiber in every slice! And their power bars are amazing. So are their baked goods and their sandwiches. Can I just live here? I wanted to try the sweet breads, but fear of eating the entire loaf stopped me. Maybe I'll get brave on my next trip to heaven. read more

Parking is a little tough. It is in a little mall across from Aloha Gas. The parking is marked for specific businesses. Super friendly service. That's hard to find these days. They have different breads made each day. I didn't know what to get, so I asked the counterperson. She suggested a small loaf of cinnamon chip. Is it called a loaf of it is round? The cinnamon chip bread was awesome. It kinda tasted like a cinnamon raisin bagel. My dad like it, but he didn't want too much. So, in the end, I had to devour almost the entire loaf by myself. Tough life. The cinnamon chop definitely something I'd get again, although, I'm really curious about what the other br3ads are like. I'll be back for the great bread and friendly service! read more

I fell in love with this place instantly. They carry a fresh selection of whole wheat breads that are baked fresh everyday. The bread is different depending on the day of the week, but they always have a sample ready. My favorite is the Low Carb Kauai Crunch. Great Harvest is a perfect place to grab a healthy lunch. Their sandwiches are delicious and all the ingredients are fresh. Try the California Club, it's moist and loaded with avacado and bacon. The price is a little much for a daily ritual but every chance I get I partake. read more

Sweet little bread shop in a mall on the mauka exit off of the highway in Kahala. Nice selection of organic healthy breads. It's kind of hard to distinguish the entrance from the diagnostic laboratory and blood collection place next-door, my suggestion would be 1) have the blood people give out a coupon for dollar off a loaf of bread after they had to fast for a day prior to giving blood. 2) to have the dine in area have OpenWindows screened so that you can enjoy some fresh air while having a bread and jam and coffee or a couple tables outside to bring some attention and life to the front of the shop which would make it better. The staff is nice and offer a sample when you walk in the door and the one girl looks like ZiYi the hot actress from movie Crouching Tiger so they got that going for them read more

Great Harvest Bread - Cinnamon Chip Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'd like to put out a warning here. I have in the past had good service from this location but recently when purchasing pastries I had a experience of food poisoning and that was very troubling. I had a friend come over to examine one of the pastries I had purchased, she is a professional cook. She examined it and discovered that the center of the pastry was not fully cooked and still had raw dough in there. This is how I got sick. So I just want to warn you, if you go to this location make sure that you inquire whether the pastries were fully and thoroughly cooked. If we all ask that maybe they'll not make this mistake again though I do not plan to return to this location. read more

Yay! I'm a fan, again. It had been a long time since I had been at Great Harvest and I had forgotten how good the bread is. As soon as I walked in I was offered a sample by the friendly staff and I chose the peanut butter chocolate chip bread. I was sold. It has the perfect balance of the two flavors. I ended up purchasing a half loaf along with a couple strawberry cream cheese scones and a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. The muffin was okay, but the scone was soo very good with large pieces of strawberry and chunks of cream cheese. Lovely. Since then I have been to the other two Great Harvest locations (downtown and Kailua) and I have found that the scones are the best at the Kahala location as one location does not have enough cream cheese and the other location does not have enough fruit. Finally, this location also has the best service. Friendly, helpful, and gracious. read more

I love the Three Cheese Garlic Bread. It's moist and so flavorful! Also tried their chocolate cream cheese scones. There's no chunks of cream cheese in there (appears blended in) but it tasted yummy! read more

Yesterday morning, our daughter dropped off a super warm cinnamon chip bread in a brown paper bag. The aroma from it made us want to cut it right away, but we were told to wait a bit so we could cut it. Solution: we used our bread knife to cut the warm, soft, yummy, delish, piece off. Spread it with a little butter, heavenly. We live in Mililani, so this was a treat. read more

Wow! This place is simply awesome. I have never had a bad experience with any of their products. This is the first time I personally visited this store and their customer service is incredible. I walked out of there with 3 bags and $45 worth of bread. Although it was a tad on the pricey side $45 bought me 2 huge loaves of their super de duperty fabulous whole wheat cinnamon bread, a faboo loaf of their Assiago olive bread, a loaf of their yumm-o coconut quick bread AND two large sandwiches on their oh so divine squaw bread. Product? unbeatable. Simply the best bread I have ever had. The sandwiches were generous in portion and filling. I love food. I love eating. A half of the good ol turkey and roast beef sandwich filled me up. I brought the olive loaf to work. Eaten up in literally 3 hours. Customer Service? Genuine and with a smile. The girl who was working, I wish I had gotten her name, was a sweetie. She put up with my indecisiveness and did not roll her eyes, let out a sigh, or show the least bit of frustration with me at all. I think I was more frustrated with me than she was. She kept offering me bread which was a bonus. Price? It's a little high but you get what you pay for and I do not regret spending one dime there! Super duper yumm-o! read more

This place changed my standard on what bread should taste like. I call it my crack bread and I will continue to turn anyone and everyone onto it that I possibly can. Their website has a menu of their sandwiches they make using their bread and also a monthly/daily menu of what's available. I'm a sucker for the peanut butter chocolate chip bread that's usually made on Wednesday mornings. If you come in the early afternoon you can usually still get bread from yesterday that's still available as well as warm bread from the current day. Staff is super friendly. Lots of butters/pastries/etc to choose from. Go here. You'll be changed forever. read more

"STOP. TURN RIGHT. TURN RIGHT. STOP, TURN RIGHT!" Stop? Turn right? Who gives a shit, just stop for the bread! No, but seriously, I yelled at my boyfriend to stop and turn right all at once just because "I saw that place on Yelp and I want to look." Turning in right from the road, there was a number of parking spots available. We threw our new whip in park and sped walked up to the door. The front door offers a monthly menu, daily menu, and a strong scent of carbs coming through. I'm leaving for vacation this week so I thought to myself, "Do I need a loaf of bread?" Probably not but I had to go inside and double check anyways. Upon entering, we were immediately offered sample slices of bread of our choice. I chose the Kauai crunch and my boyfriend chose the cinnamon bread. In addition there were 3 butters to sample: whipped, cinnamon, and garlic. Garlic butter on Kauai crunch = delicious. Cinnamon bread plain = yum, I can see this bread working awesome for French Toast. I didn't end up taking a loaf of bread home because I'm trying out this thing called "Need vs Want thinking" and in the moment I didn't NEED the bread (remember that vacation I mentioned?). I wanted it but I ended up with an oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookie instead. This was to to reward myself for not buying any loafs. I'll be back after my vacation for both the Kauai Crunch and those cookies...those large, noggin sized, chewy cookies. read more

GHBC is my newest obsession. At one point I was getting a sandwich here at least once a week. It's that darn good! I believe there are two kinds of eateries...there are those that try to make ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Unfortunately most of these places end up being mediocre to terrible (diners are the exception) because they're just trying to do too much and end up not doing anything particularly well. Then there are places that do just a few dishes but make them extraordinarily well. Great Harvest falls into the second group. They have only 5 or 6 types of sandwiches. Each is amazing in it's own special way. And each one is made with such love and care that you half expect to see a note in the bag from mom reminding you of how much she loves you. First of all, each visit starts with a sample of FRESH bread. And, holy crap, its the best bread you've ever had and you can make a mini-meal off of the sample they give you. I'm in love with the cinnamon bread but just about everything is divine. Pair this were a few different types of butters (cinnamon, garlic, sweet butter) and you've got some food from the gods right there! My favorite sandwich is the kickin' chipotle - freshly cut roast beef, with fresh veggies, on fresh bread. The sauce they use has enough kick to make it extra yummy but not so much to mask the meaty/bready awesomeness of the sandwich. If that doesn't satisfy your hunger they also have freshly made cookies and lemon bars that are also out of this world. read more

Absolutely LOAf this place! (Get it?). Bad jokes aside.... The baked goods are amazing.

Loved a variety of their loaves and now especially love their vanilla honey butter $6 and their whipped butter.

I remember when this location first opened. Several other shops opened at various locations after that but all have since closed so this Kahala location is the last remaining Great Harvest Bread on the island. Prices are a little on the high side compared to the square supermarket sliced loaves but the bread quality is significantly better here. Still always a sample slice cheerfully offered, a nice touch that hasn't changed over the years. read more

Their products are good. Customer service is inconsistent. Recently, while I was waiting for my food two other people were offered samples and rewards cards but I was not. Not a big deal but it made me wonder "why not me?"...which is never how a customer should feel. All customers should be treated equally. Probable won't be coming back, there are plenty other sandwich spots out there. read more

Good bread, good scones and muffins, and quick sandwiches. This great harvest had great service and friendly staff. Parking can be tight, but the food is great! read more

Although I've only tried a few of their breads so far, all got the thumbs up. While the honey wheat is a solid choice for sandwiches, the cinnamon chip (c.c.) was outrageous for toast. Slather (please note I did not say spread; slather) a hot slice of c.c. with butter and you are starting your a.m. right! The apricot almond is also a good choice for breakfast but didn't quite match the quality of the c.c. I'll try to check out the scones soon to see how they measure up to Diamond Head Market. The c.c. and apricot almond both seem a bit pricey but the honey wheat seems more reasonable. The parking lot is a bit tucked away. If you are coming from town and pass Kahala Mall on your right, turn left on Kilauea St and than look for the long driveway right next to the Makana store. If you prefer your breads and treats fresh, here's a link for their current baking schedule. http://www.greatharvestkahala.com/breadandsweetsmenu.html read more
