I was HAPPY Great Harvest had a masks mandatory sign! Even if you are fully vaccinated, it's best…read moreto wear a mask inside public buildings because vaccinated people can still carry and transmit the virus--and they can still get a breakthrough case of Covid. Until we know more and until more folks get vaxxed so we can reach herd immunity, masks are important. So, the 5 stars is for the masks required and also for the wonderful bread. I have had G.H.'s bread in other locations, well, other states, actually, because Vernon is really out of the way for us. Bread is amazing and loaves are a good size. I also bought 3 sandwiches to enjoy with a friend, too, but was a bit disappointed as there wasn't much of the chicken salad filling inside them (unlike the photos which do show very fat sandwiches!) In addition, I'd like to suggest you open a shop in say, Cheshire, CT or Hamden or New Haven. You will have a very brisk business in these areas!!!!

My friend and I stopped by The Great Harvest Bread Company for a quick lunch. I had no idea this…read morewas a national chain, I have never heard of them before. This particular location is in a small shopping plaza in Vernon. The inside looks like an independent bakery. They have a huge assortment of breads, they can make sandwiches upon request or from the menu. Additionally they also make salads, cookies and coffee. I'll have to note, the two teenage girls working here weren't friendly, welcoming or capable of smiling, maybe they are new, but something needs to change. I got the Turkey Goddess sandwich on Wheat Seeded Bread. I also got an iced coffee. They serve Peet's coffee. This combo was only $13. This bread was very fresh, flavorful and covered in seeds. It was filled with tomato, onion, lettuce, Havarti cheese, avocado spread and turkey. It also came with a pickle, but it was way too salty for me. This sandwich was very filling, fresh and tasty. My friend got a similar one and she also enjoyed it.

Tried again, much better coffee…read more This place had a very awesome breakfast sandwich, and wanted to try them again. Opted for the blueberry pancake cold brew, along with a piece of banana bread and an egg sandwich with turkey. Food was delivered outside, and I took my pics. The breakfast sandwich is delightful. Everything is seasoned, punchy, and plentiful. The bread was grilled on a panini griddle, but didn't toast. So there wasn't a lot of contrast in textures. But the egg was fluffy, had a cheese skirt, garlic aoli is strong, and the bread is baked fresh. The cold brew was strong, but the cold foam on top mellowed the coffee out and gave it a nice blueberry and yeasty sip. Very similar to a blueberry pancake which the drink is named for. Good but leaned heavy on the cold foam. Banana bread was a bit gummy. Too much banana and not enough flour nor sugar. Not bad, but the weakest bite of them all. Price was high, at about 24 for the 3 items. The quality is worth the price point, and it's a great but somewhat limited breakfast spot for the area. If you want an avocado toast, breakfast sandwich with actual flavor, and wicked strong coffee, then this place does it well. Baked goods can be a bit random in quality, but the savory fare is great

The egg wrap is very filling and made with very fresh ingredients. The iced mocha is delicious and strong as it comes with two double shots of espresso in it. Even my cat wanted to enjoy this food. The wait time can be long at times when this place is super busy, but there are ample things to browse at inside while you wait. There is plenty of street parking and parking lots nearby.

Quality is still good, price and portion are askew…read more We came here as a quick sandwich bite on our way around the state. Service was good, and the ambiance is still lively. The still tastes good, with some exceptions. The frier oil seemed burnt, so the pickle chips we had just had that little bit of carbon taste on them. The pickle chips batter was very thick, and the mayo was the only respite. The sandwich, still tasty, seemed much smaller than normal, the meat still had good flavor, but the portion was lighter in comparison. The prices are also a bit high. The sandwich coming out to about 15 bucks. The bargain is very much gone now, and the portion is okay for a sandwich but pricy because of this shrinkage. Not shown are the overcooked onion rings. We returned those and the server promptly removed them from the bill. So really good customer service. I opted for a brownie for dessert, and the brownie was a disappointment. Too sugary, no flavor, gummy, and disappointingly small and thin. A detractor for sure. As a deli, it feels like it's on the decline. I know things are pricier now, but what you pay vs what you get doesn't match up. I'm hoping they pivot from this path, but right now it's no longer my go-to. It's still tasty, just pricy

Pizzas are thin crust and okay. Service was fine. I wish some servers would just bring over a refilled soda when they see that we're running low. It gives that attention to detail finesse. Having said that, we requested multiple refills during our dining experience. Ambiance is chill. Everything is mostly black and red. I can't say the metal chairs are comfortable but the booths are! Given there's so many pizza places to choose from, especially in Vernon, I probably would return to this establishment.

Still great bites for a good price…read more I come here from time to time. This place is very much a good quality but ample portions place. So for those looking to fill their bellies with good eats then this place fits the bill. Tried their birria tacos, and they were cheesy and greasy in the best way. The consommé was flavorful and not too overpowering. You could eat it like a soup and be pleasantly surprised. The beef was tender but a little dry. Needed the broth. As a quick casual bite place, it's a very solid place to go. The parking lot is the biggest gripe, but outside of the businesses control. Worth a try if you're hungry and want lots of good food

We also chose to eat in the restaurant, which for a quick-service place was quite cozy and inviting. Overall, great prices, great food, and great convenience. We will definitely be returning soon.

I gave her…read morethe same look you'd give someone suggesting that hospital cafeteria meatloaf was haute cuisine and said, "If this is really what you want... just remember the last time." And honestly? Credit where it's due: this place may be the single most consistent restaurant in existence. Fourteen years later, nothing significant has changed. The food remains perfectly competent in the most uninspired way possible, a masterclass in culinary mediocrity. Portions are generous, though the prices still suggest ambitions the kitchen never quite fulfills. In the end, we left exactly as we did 14 years ago: neither disappointed nor impressed. Just aggressively, spectacularly, and completely whelmed.

I ordered the Chicken Parm Grinder. I decided to get a whole one to make sure I'd have half a sandwich for leftovers the next day. I couldn't believe how big the sandwich was when it arrived. I ended up cutting one half into 3 sections and couldn't even finish all 3 of them. It doesn't come with any sides, but how could you possibly have room to eat any sides?? Everything was served in oversized portions and we went home with a ton of leftovers which were just as good the next day. It's a little pricey, but you're getting SO much food that it doesn't feel like a ripoff. The waitress was extremely nice and attentive, no complaints at all!
