Bread Fact: "A rolled-up piece of white bread was used to erase graphite before rubber erasers were invented." ― historyofbread.com Honestly, the bread we got here at Great Harvest Bread could still be used as an eraser. We stopped by here when our nearest baker ran out of sourdough bread. Yelp came to the rescue, as I have been wanting a BLT, and we popped into this place. To be purchased: · Japanese Iced Coffee ($4.00): It's a great standard iced coffee. No complaints. · Pistachio Matcha Latte ($5.75 + $1.00 oat milk): I loved that they whisk the tea by hand but the pistachio taste wasn't there. On the plus side, drinking this well into the afternoon definitely disturbed my sleep schedule. · Cinnamon Roll ($4.25 + $0.95 cream cheese frosting): If they could only serve this warm, I think it could be decent. I microwaved it at home and I'll be honest, it was still okay at best. · High 5 Fiber Loaf ($8.95): Now I get that the oats and goodies of this bread probably is the reason why it was a hefty loaf but sheesh! It's dense enough to hold the garage door open. Great Harvest Bread is a cute place. They sell a lot of little items and their soup section had me intrigued. I wouldn't mind popping in again but maybe on a different day. Their Daily Bread Menu is vast so if you come in wanting sourdough, you better get the day right! Also, it's warm in here! read more

Do you ever get those nights where you want non-dinner items for dinner? I wanted to make a BLT and needed bread. My usual local bakery sold out of bread by the time I got off work and that's when Yelp helped me out. Popped into this new-to-me place for bread. I ended up purchasing: - Japanese Iced Coffee ($4.00): Japanese iced coffee, also known as flash brew, is made by brewing hot coffee directly over ice, instantly chilling it to lock in vibrant flavors and aromas, resulting in a bright, crisp, and less diluted iced coffee compared to traditional methods. It's a nice iced coffee for a reasonable price. - Pistachio Matcha Latte ($5.75 + $1.00 oat milk): We saw her hand-whisking the matcha which impressed us. I had assumed this is a powder-and-dump place with a quick stir of the spoon. It doesn't really taste like pistachio though. - Cinnamon Roll ($4.25 + $0.95 cream cheeese frosting): I thought it would be served warm and ai was wrong. Bring it home, nuke it, and it can be enjoyable. - High 5 Fiber Loaf ($8.95): This bread is dense. I get that there's a lot of grains inside but I wasn't expecting it to be a brick. Not ideal for BLTs but great for eating with salted butter. All in all, not a bad place. They sell a lot here and it's definitely warm inside. I got to be honest though and say I prefer my local bakery for bread. read more

Great Harvest Bread is located in a plaza in Chandler. They they sell their bread and they sell jams and jellies, amongst other things. They also have cafe food options for sitting inside or taking it to go, and they sell coffee. The store was a little overwhelming when you first walk in due to all of the items they sell being by the front door. They do have a nice more open seating area inside after you order and they have outdoor seating as well. The cashier was really nice but she was a smidge slow with making my hot latte with oatmilk, I had ordered a tuna sandwhich with sourdough and received it atleast 5 minutes before I got my coffee. The tuna sandwhich was really good and I wouldn't mind coming back for another one, although it was very expensive. The coffee was not great and I recommend going somewhere else for that. Overall, if you want to buy their bread or other items they sell then I would recommend checking them out. If you need to go somewhere to eat or just get coffee, I would recommend passing on it. read more

Where to begin with this review... Great Harvest has a special spot in my mom's heart since she franchised a bread bakery with her mom when she was young. With this location being the only Great Harvest in the entire state, you'd think it was be at the top of its game. My mom and I had the idea that we'd walk out with a good amount of bread loaves and even eat a delicious lunch while we were there. Unfortunately, their dessert and bread options for that day (we went on a Monday, St Patrick's Day) weren't that great. They had a gingersnap cookie, this coconut scone, and most of the emphasis was on their Irish soda bread (sot surprisingly because of the day we went lol). The cookie and scone flavors didn't appeal to us. We were thinking of getting their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies which are enormous, but they only had them wrapped in packs of six. We weren't about to spend a hefty amount on six of the same cookie. Another thing Great Harvest does is you can sample their breads before purchasing. My mom was disappointed when she asked if she could try some sourdough and was told they didn't have any for tasting that day. The only breads available for sampling was the soda bread and their gluten-free option :/ The cashier in general could've been nicer. She didn't even ask us what kind of bread we wanted for our sandwich; we had to specify sourdough and that's only because we asked if they had sourdough for sampling. Even for that, she was kind of dismissive when telling us they only had like two kinds of bread for sampling that day. Moving on to ordering lunch, we decided to just order one tuna sandwich and splitting it between us. We ordered the tuna salad sandwich on sourdough. Long story short, it was nothing to write home about. The tuna salad was something you'd make at home, and the toppings of lettuce, tomato, and raw red onions were obviously something you could whip together at home. It was $10 and you don't even get a side of ANYTHING. In fact, as the plate arrived at our table, the server was like, "did you guys get chips with that?" We answered that we didn't, and she went in and asked if we usually get a side of chips included with the $10. She came back out and said that we didn't, ultimately. Sad. My mom remarked that the sourdough used for the sandwich wasn't even that true to what sourdough should be; it didn't have any tangy sourness to it that one should expect in an authentic sourdough bread from a literal bread bakery. Anyway, now we know we won't be returning here anytime soon. read more

This place is located on NW corner of Warner and McClintock. They are very dog friendly. They even watched my sons dog and there was a water dish when he went to the bathroom. We got the cinnamon roll and pumpkin chocolate chip cake bread (see photos). Both were very good and cinnamon rolls were pretty large. The pumpkin chocolate chip is probably seasonal but very good as well. The people are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious! I had no clue this place was even a thing, but I'm glad I do now. Knocks competitors out of the park! The Spicy Turkey Pepper Jack Sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've had in recent memory. The Lotus Energy Drink was great too. They had so many flavors! I'm impressed, and will hopefully be back one day. read more

I have ordered bread from Great Harvest for my Thanksgiving Spread for the past 7 years!

Great breads and sandwiches. Great service. Support local business! Try their breads as they are freshly made.

stars for the sandwiches only. the sandwiches were good, but the customer service at the counter was awful! As a person with celiac, so happy to find an actual bakery that creates gluten free bread, they sure don't want to make their food with it. I understand that it's a pain sometimes to prepare gluten free items, since surfaces have to be wiped down etc., but to have the person at the counter speak in a condescending voice about the process (to which,we celiacs completely understand already) was rude. I understand there will be a slight wait on the food, but this person made me feel horrible for even ordering a gluten free sandwich and was not helpful or welcoming at all! Sorry, not sorry, that you had to, in her words, "I have to clean everything and check on the condiments depending on what sandwich you want before we start" while sighing and rolling her eyes. Then proceeded to tell me, "your condiments come out of a bottle so they are fine", to which those words were very reassuring.... I get better customer service for gluten free sandwiches at Jersey Mikes. read more

Stopped in for lunch and we were delighted with this place!! The sandwiches were hefty and full of flavor and made with home baked bread. The place is small but quaint and the staff are beyond friendly. They offer several different types of bread, pastries (Check out the cinnamon rolls!!) and even from pizza dough!! You can't find a better lunch spot that here! read more

I think this is my favorite sandwich place in the area, with their extensive menu of unique sandwiches. My favorite is the Louisville Chicken Salad because it is so flavorful. I also like the Baja Chipotle Turkey, which is creatively inspired by the flavors of a fish taco. Honestly, I've never tried something here that I didn't like. All the bread is super fresh, which is what really pushes the sandwiches over the top. I like to get a loaf of sourdough bread every time I come here as well. I wish they would open another location closer to central Phoenix! read more

Came here to pick up some pastries I ordered online! I got some sugar cookies, cinnamon roll, and morning bun. I also got a blueberry iced latte but I was pleasantly surprised to see they had other seasonal varieties: pistachio matcha, lavender white mocha... Service was quick and they also had a little grocery in the front of the store for various milled grains and honey. We will be coming back! read more

Friendly staff, clean, and good selection of food. I had a cinnamon roll. Unfortunately is was not impressed. It was tough like it had been sitting in the display case for some time. I was really looking for a great cinnamon roll, unfortunately I didn't find it there. read more

This is a great little lunch stop if you work in the area. They have a good salad and sandwich selection, and I like that they have gluten free options. I wish they had gluten free pastries that varied instead of just the cinnamon roll they always have, and the gluten free bread isn't very good, but A for effort. The coffee is pretty food, but not as good as a shop that specializes in coffee. I do like that they change up the menu with regular specials. Service is nice, and I enjoy browsing the little shop while I wait. Solid middle of the road lunch spot. read more

What a great spot for bread. Sits in a small strip mall w a little patio space. Specials all the time but standard breads and sweets. I love the scones. Service is superb read more

Found this little gem by accident. I passed by and made a point to come back. I do my best to support small businesses. They do coffee, salads, and all kinds of sandwiches. I couldn't make up my mind, so I asked the opinion of the staff. The two most popular sandwiches are the smoked turkey goddess (cold) and the Tuscan chicken (hot) so I ordered them both. They make all their breads from scratch. They have a cinnamon chip loaf and a cinnamon loaf. I really wanted to buy one... But I would end end up eating it all myself with a side of butter. I waited about 10 minutes for my sandwiches. I took them outside. I was starving I ate one half of each. The sandwiches didn't disappoint. Tasty and best of all made from scratch bread. I wish they had a location closer. If I was in the area I would definitely make the effort to go by. read more

Everything good about bread is happening at GH. The bread is unmatched as far as being healthy, delicious and of highest quality. The sandwiches and salads are hand crafted and fresh. The employees always seem to be enjoying themselves and like their jobs. The bakery is what a bakery should be. It's warm and welcoming, and hey! Free bread! read more

I'm always on the search for fresh sandwiches especially from small businesses/locally owned. Yelp to the rescue! I ordered online which was quick and easy! I ordered the smoked turkey goddess on honey whole wheat. Pick up was quick and easy as well. The bread was wonderfully soft and fresh. The goddess dressing was tasty as well! Overall a really solid sandwich! There are so many creative sandwich types I'd like to try and their pastries as well! read more

Bread is the star here! Got the BBQ and Tuscan Chicken Sandwich on herbed focaccia and it was great! Sliced chicken between slices of pillowy focaccia. They're not shy on the serving sizes here either. There's lots of outdoor seating so you can lounge about and enjoy a nice coffee and bakery item in the mornings. Def want to come back and try their other offerings like the cookies and cinnamon bread! (Got a banana bread to go and can't wait to try that) read more

We had awesome service on August 6, 2020 when deciding on what types of breads to buy.

Their bread loaves cost more than your loaves at the store but is a solid two pounds of a wholesome, tasty goodness! read more

I recently ordered two sandwiches through my job's lunch delivery service and both were a bit disappointing. The California Cobb sandwich had a distinct school lunch vibe, which was partially due to the honey whole wheat bread and what seemed like prepackaged guac spread instead of fresh avocado (as stated on the menu). My lettuce was also black in some spots (shown in the picture). The S&L Signature breakfast sandwich was equally disappointing, with about two bites of egg and an overwhelming amount of pickled onions. I was hoping for that garlic herb spread to save the day, but I couldn't even taste it. Both sandwiches just tasted like regular sandwiches you could make at home, nothing special. They weren't the best, but they weren't the worst either. read more

We picked up Great Harvest bread at the farmers market a few years ago and absolutely loved their honey whole wheat bread. We decided it was time to make the drive to their location in Tempe to stock up! During COVID-19 they are offering curbside pick up, just call ahead to make your order, pay, and designate your pick up time. We arrived and gave them a call letting them know we were there. A nice guy came out (wearing a mask, love it) and gave us our order. So friendly and such an easy process. The honey whole wheat is perfect for sandwiches (grilled cheese is our favorite with this bread). We also got a loaf of the extreme cinnamon swirl bread. The loaf was flatter than I was expecting but the flavor is not lacking! Warm it up with some butter and it is such a treat. Overall we really love the products available here and will have to make the trip down here more often. They have various items only available on certain days to be sure to check out their schedule on the website. read more

I am so disappointed in this place. I was communicating by email, with the owner, trying to order 2-3 loaves of Challah bread for the Jewish New Year. We got close to finalizing the details and she disappeared. I agreed to pay her in advance, to buy more than I really needed to satisfy the minimum order requiremen and to pick up my order. Not sure what more I could have done. She gave no reason, no apology, no nothing. I don't get it. I'm from the Chicago area and loved Great Harvest bread that I used to get there, so when I heard they were opening a store here, I was very excited. I went over there, eager to buy some bread and the employees were quite rude. I left without buying a thing. Like owner, like employee, I guess. Too bad. BTW.....found my bread at Albertson's.....So there! I'd like to retract my prior review, posted earlier today. the owner contacted me and apologized for forgetting to advise me that she was going to be out of town and incommunicado while she was getting remarried. Understanably, she had other things on her mind other than my Challah bread order. Apparently this oversight was completely unintentional and I apologize for my part in this misunderstanding. This was not a case of ignoring her customer or her business. Life just got in the way. If I remember correctly, Great Harvest has fabulous bread and I am planning to go back soon to purchase some of their very yummy bread. Please ignore my prior review. This was simply a misunderstanding which has now been resolved. I apologize for my derogatory review. read more

1st time ordering and it was a disappointment.

Been about six years since I last ventured into this place, but had much better results this time. I tried the Louisville chicken sandwich is a chicken salad with spiced pecans and seasoned mayo. The bread was fresh baked and dense enough to hold up to the chicken salad. It was about 9 bucks for this filling lunch sandwich. Nice staff too. read more

A colleague and friend I work with suggested I make a visit to Great Harvest Bread Company in Tempe because there is a pistachio matcha latte on the menu. This small business is located in a strip mall at Warner Road and McClintock Drive. An assortment of freshly baked goods are available including different kinds of breads, cinnamon rolls and cookies--all which looked and smelled great. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I was primarily visiting to try the pistachio matcha latte which is a specialty seasonal item on the menu. I'm not a fan of matcha so I ordered an iced pistachio latte instead which tasted how I expected it to taste. However, it wasn't exceptional and I could have made the same quality--if not better--at home. Overall, I was satisfied with my order and would stop in again to try one of the baked goods. Time of Visit: Saturday at 9:30 AM Order: Iced pistachio latte with oat milk Wait Time: 1-2 Minutes (In Line), 5-7 Minutes (Order Ready) read more

Oh my, this place is wonderful. I popped in a couple Saturdays ago for lunch & the second I walked in I was welcomed with the comforting smells of all the good stuff they make. SAMPLES! THEY HAVE SAMPLES! :-) It was heavenly. It's a cute little store front in a strip mall, ample parking, with a nice wide walkway between the bakery & eyeglass store to the west of them. There were probably about six tables available outside, plenty of seats to pull up & cop a squat. The staff was friendly & did not rush me when I couldn't decide what to buy (so many choices!). I ordered the ham & brie sandwich, the spicy apple bacon grilled cheese, with a big kahuna bar for dessert. The brie sandwich was good but needed a bit more flavor to it; the grilled cheese was the best of the two, it was very very good. I think if they brie had some of the pepper jelly from the grilled cheese, it would have been a lot better. The order took awhile to come out which was no biggie since it was gorgeous outside, I was in no rush, & to me that meant it would all be fresh. I was not disappointed at all in the food. The only reason I chose a 4-star vs 5-star is because the inside of the store immediately in front of the door was a bit jumbled. Not messy, I simply got the impression they had so many items packaged ready for sale that it felt a little crowded inside. The following Wednesday morning I popped back in to pick up some of their rolls for a potluck. Lucky me, there was so much food at the potluck I was able to bring some of the rolls home. I will definitely return to Great Harvest Bread. read more

The Asiago sourdough bread is to die for!! Moving to Arizona from Romania, where we have amazing bread we buy fresh everyday, I didn't even realize how much I missed good bread until I had this. This is the best bread I have had in the last 4 years and hands down the only bread I can sincerely say I truly enjoyed since I've moved here!

I learned about Great Harvest because we received coupons for a free cookie after voting in 2020. We went into the bakery and the only cookies left were their gingersnaps and I'm not a big fan of gingersnaps. They were DELICIOUS! After that initial wonderful free experience, I decided to go back and have returned regularly. Their Cheddar Garlic Jalapeno Bread is phenomenal and is a great choice for making grilled cheese sandwiches. Their Snickerdoodles are fantastic and go great with a cold glass of milk. Plus, their customer service is fantastic; their staff is always friendly and thanks you for your business. Bread lovers, rejoice! *Tip 1* They open and 7am, which makes Great Harvest a great choice to stop by after a morning workout. Their menu includes sandwiches and soups too! *Tip 2* Sign up for their rewards club and earn points towards future purchases. read more
