I'm always looking for restaurants that are near Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, that are open on Sunday mornings, as that's when our Broadway Series tickets are for. Today, we decided to try Great Harvest Bakery that is about a 10-15 minute walk from the Center. As soon as we walked in, we really appreciated the cold A/C. And, the menu is pretty extensive for a bakery with both hot & cold sandwiches, for both lunch and breakfast, plus a few salads, lots of specialty coffee and tea drinks (most places only have coffee drinks but I'm a tea drinker), and of course bakery items and full loaves of bread. I thought I was going to get a breakfast sandwich but then saw the Ham & Brie sandwich and decided to get that. I also got a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin and an iced tea. My friend got the Greek Salad, a can of Pepsi, and a cookie. There was plenty of seating so we grabbed a table for 2 in the corner. Our food came out quickly and the servers were very friendly when they delivered it. My sandwich had several slices of ham, thinly sliced apples, gooey Brie and apricot jam. It was very tasty and was a pretty big portion, I thought, as I didn't finish it. Same with my friend's Greek Salad, she really liked it but left some over because we wanted to eat our bakery items. Those were also really good, with the pumpkin muffin being not too spicy and having a good amount of chocolate chips. We decided we will definitely be back here during the season as we both really enjoyed it. read more

Hopefully I will be able to upgrade this review at some point, but my first experience here wasn't the best. First and foremost, the staff are very friendly and kind and the ambiance is very comfortable. It is essentially a coffee shop inside and great for meetings or studying. I ordered the Baja turkey sandwich and the apple bacon grilled cheese sandwich to go. Maybe getting them to go was my mistake but neither of them were very impressive. The turkey sandwich was too soft, had just OK flavoring, and did not look like a $12 sandwich at all. I was disappointed and feel like I could easily have made a better sandwich at home. The grilled cheese was better and had unique flavoring but still small and somewhat poor presentation. I have to give it only 3 stars because I really was not very impressed with the food. But that said, their bread looks delicious and I will be back at some point to try it. I will update my review if I feel inclined on my next visit, but as of now, I wouldn't recommend their sandwiches. read more

I simply adore great harvest bakery. They have so many great options for both gluten free and vegetarian. They have lots of seating and it's a great place to catch up on your emails. Their gluten free biscuits are the best I have ever had. And their coffee is so good. I got the harvest moon latte today and it's like fall in a cup! Their breakfast sandwiches are large and filling. Their staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to food allergies I highly recommend coming whether you're gluten-free vegetarian or just want something to delicious. read more

Great downtown bakery with fresh bread, baked treats, and sandwiches. I had one savory and one sweet scone. They weren't as dense as a typical UK scone but I found them delicious. The cinnamon bread I took home I had to fight my husband for because it was so delicious. Service can be a bit slow but all the employees are nice and eager to help. Lots of seating for a downtown location, and big windows. They also have homemade dog treats that I'll grab for my pup next time. read more

Man I usually like great harvest but this is the second time my order has been messed up. First mess up a few months ago was when I order a ham and brie sandwich and they didn't put ham and Brie, so I opened my sandwich for it to only have apple slices and some honey on it Now my bagel is BURNT to the Gods and a very stingy serving of cream cheese read more

I'm behind getting this review up, but better late than never. What a great find this bakery is! My daughter was getting her hair done down the street and I needed to find somewhere for a yummy breakfast. Well, welcome to Great Harvest! They make their breads fresh every day - it smells like heaven in there and they also have several Gluten free items (bread and pastries). I have had the breakfast sandwich twice now - egg, bacon, cheese on gluten free bread. It was delicious. I also had a decaf latte, which was perfect. You order at the counter and then they will bring the food out to your table, or you can wait for it. The inside has a great vibe with nature stone and cute tables and chairs. You can easily spend a few hours here sipping on coffee, eating and working on your laptop. One of the days I was here, someone came in and started playing the piano. It was beautiful. They are also dog friendly for ordering. Meaning you can bring your leashed pooch in while you order - the floors are concrete. This is now a go to spot for me in downtown Orlando when I'm in the area. Definitely need to try more of the offered items. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning, have always been curious about this spot and drove by it many times. We ordered the loaded breakfast sandwich and the Cubano. Both sandwiches were delicious. The loaded breakfast sandwich was well balanced with tomato, cheese, bacon, and avocado. The cubano was savoury and the mojo pork was well seasoned and really stood out:; was certainly the most prominent participant of the sandwich. Would've gotten 5 stars but the tip screen options were a bit unwelcoming. The options were 15%, 18%, 20%, or no tip. There was no custom tip option. Literally have never seen that at an establishment where one orders at the counter. I understand that workers need to get paid, but it's ridiculous that a counter service place does not allow you to custom tip. read more

So the food is average. Nothing special. But The reason I keep coming back is the service and return of gluten free bakery items. Every time I come, I'm greeted with the most wonderful front staff who are always smiling and are very helpful. I'm sad I can't tip them through my card/apple phone. I rarely have cash and in a world where everyone is asking for a tip (the cashier at shell gas station had a tip jar out ), it makes me sad I can't regularly give one to people who deserve it the most. read more

I am very familiar with great harvest, I used to go in Columbus, OH, there all the food was fresh, the staff was incredibly sweet, and the bread was always warm. Came to this location expecting the same level of service and quality and left highly disappointed. The cashier was a bit rude. The coffee we ordered tasted terrible, we received the wrong sandwiches, and none of it was that good. Would not recommend at all. You're better off at Starbucks. read more

The bread from here is sooo good, especially the Cheddar Garlic Bread and Sundried Tomato Sourdough bread. The staff are so friendly and they usually give out samples of the bread. The smell in this place is so good. They have a lot of gluten free items too which is nice. This is a great lunch spot, I love the Grilled Cheese with Tomato, the Veggie Baja Sandwich, and Garden Salad. I love to order some bread to take home. This is a great place to grab some food with friends. They have a good amount of seating, or you can take your food to go to eat near Lake Eola which is a short walk away. read more

My wife got the chicken salad sandwich (Big Sky Chicken Salad) on gluten-free bread. It was OK. Like our previous visit, the served portion size was a little bit on the small side. Like a lot of the GF items, the bread broke apart (No one's Fault as this is inherent with GF). Overall a good experience. Next time I will get a Cinnamon Latte as my last visit, it was epic. read more

First time in. Asked Yelp for bakeries. Nice little bright open space. I told the young lady behind the counter it was my first time as that I was still a little overwhelmed, but she was still kind of impatient with me. She did explain what I needed to know eventually- and after u gave her a good gratuity, she seemed to improve in attitude a bit. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a bunch of baked goodies: loaf of bread, brownie, Blondie, cheddar biscuit. Also grabbed a jar of locally sourced honey. Forgot to add bacon and cheese to my sandwich. First bites pretty good. read more

What a great bakery! So many options to choose from to take home & to eat! I ordered the classic breakfast sandwich with garlic spread and it's the perfect amount of food to start my morning. I've taken home 2 of their loaves and they both were spectacular. You can also sample their bread in the front counter! Dog friendly, bathrooms, work friendly, and staff are nice! read more

As a frequent customer of this restaurant, literally multiple times a week for lunch, coffee, or just to grab a muffin or brownie , I loved that it was one of the very few places that I could get a sandwich with gluten-free bread and gluten-free pastry options, and gladly paid the up charge for a GF bread option. I am incredibly disappointed to hear that they no longer have these options. Not sure if it was an individual store or corporate decision but they are "phasing out "gluten-free options. So backwards, in my opinion. I will no longer be a customer. read more

Came here for the gluten free goodies! The staff was super helpful as I decided what I wanted to have, and they noted my gluten allergy. I had the breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread, and I also ordered the GF cream cheese scone and the GF brownie to go. Everything was really yummy. The cafe had a really nice and bright vibe, and lots of room to sit and comfortably enjoy your meal on site. read more

The array of gluten-free food was absolutely delicious. I had several things and was able to pick up them for a few days and they still were moist and didn't have that gluten-free flake crumble effect that most pastries do have. The coffee was fresh and not a perfect temperature and I plan to come back and get a breakfast sandwich as it came. Highly recommended by some of the patrons that were in line with me. The wait time was a little long to get serviced and you have to pay the meter for parking.-so next time when I go, I will definitely make sure I have more time so I can actually enjoy it instead of getting what I got to go. I will update yelp on my next visit. read more

One of Orlando's hidden gems! I love their food selection and that everything is made fresh daily- from their baked goods, breads butters and even cream cheese! They have a nice warm vibe too! - the staff and the ambiance! You could really tell the staff was passionate with what they do. read more

I like stopping by for my morning coffee or one of their amazing sourdough breakfast sandwiches. They're always switching up their coffee, tea, and chai flavors with the seasons, which keeps things fun and fresh,there's truly something for everyone. The service is always friendly, and the open, inviting ambience makes it the perfect place to start the day. Highly recommend! read more

Sometimes life catches up with you! I was sponsoring breakfast for a management company and, for some reason, didn't have the event on my calendar. I called Great Harvest Bakery and spoke with Evan. What a lifesaver! Not only did they prepare food for my managers, but Evan also arranged to have it delivered. I love this amazing restaurant and its outstanding service! Thank you Evan read more

It had been on my list to try and since I was in the area dropped by. The shop has plenty of inside seating and some outside seating. They are know for having a variety of baked goods, which rotate daily. I was offered a sample of their bread and butter (cinnamon), which was a pleasant surprise! The staff is nice, friendly, attentive and more than happy to answer any questions. I ordered the avocado toast with a fried egg on their white bread and it was good, tasty and made to order. It is a good place around the area. read more

With the current sourdough craze going on right now, it is importan to get your bread from a reputable establishment. GHBC is certainly the place. If you are luck to grab it hot out of the oven, you're in for a fantastic treat. Kudos for their wonderful efforts to accommodate gluten free food. A breath of fresh air ! read more

This is such a cute spot! It is quite cozy and I love the atmosphere. I came here to pick up a few goods and bread, and was impressed with the different kinds of bread. The service was quick and friendly. I'm surprised I never stopped in here before, but happy that I did. I haven't tried the rest of the menu or coffee yet, but this won't be my last time visiting! Excited to go back. read more

I received a gift card from a co-worker and decided to stop by during my lunch break on a Tuesday afternoon. I was greeted with a friendly face and excellent customer service at the register. I purchased the BLT and biting into this sandwich instantly shot me back to my childhood, sitting in my family home and having a sandwich that my Grandmother made. The nostalgia! It tasted like it was made with love. I also grabbed a bag of chips and had an iced vanilla and caramel latte that was so good, I went back for a second one before I returned to work. The store's merchandise is awesome and they offer an array of products from coffee/tea makers and locally sourced honey to hats, all of which would make great gifts. I highly recommend. read more

Wow! Great Harvest is such a cute cafe hidden around the corner from Lake Eola. The service is quick, food is good, and staff is friendly. The GF garlic cheddar biscuit is incredible and the eola bar is the perfect dessert. My total was $10 for two bakery items and a 12oz hot latte. read more

I'm honestly really torn writing this review because the Honey Wheat bread itself was some of the best bread I've ever had. Unfortunately, our experience after bringing it home was extremely difficult. We purchased a loaf on the morning of February 28. When we first got home, we noticed one or two small weevils but didn't think much of it at the time. By the next evening, when we opened our pantry, there were hundreds of weevils coming off the bread and spreading into nearby pantry items. We ended up having to throw away close to $300 worth of groceries (rice, pasta, and other dry goods), completely empty and deep clean the pantry, and involve pest control. Between food loss and treatment, the situation cost us close to $500 and a lot of stress. To the bakery's credit, they did respond to our email and said they inspected their flour and storage areas and did not find evidence of pests, and they offered to refund or replace the loaf. However, they were unwilling to consider the broader impact of what happened in our home, which was disappointing given the scale of the problem we experienced. I understand that pantry infestations can have multiple sources, but the timing and the fact that we initially saw the insects on the bread made the situation very concerning for us. Again, the bread itself was delicious, and I genuinely wanted to love this place. I just wish the resolution had reflected the seriousness of what we experienced. read more

This was a cute place, pretty busy, the cashier was friendly and nice. I ordered the classic grill cheese with tomatoes and my bf got the apple bacon sandwich. Both on garlic bread I also ordered the fla mango iced tea (no sweetner) the cashier told me she can add sweetner if i wanted to but i liked it. The grill cheese was good , but i didn't taste the garlic in the bread. It's ok, the meal It was light though not heavy. I'd get it again if I'm around the area. read more

Trust me that you'll want to visit this place!! Fresh baked breads, pastries, sandwiches and other things. They have house made granola and oatmeal. And best of all they have gluten free items! You can even get your fur babies some treats. They also have packages of local business teas. They also have some samples of various items throughout the day. When we came in obviously the tea bags caught my eye since I love tea. Had to get me a bag especially shoves it's from a local company that has no store front. The staff was so friendly and even let me sample the teas I was purchasing! I also sampled the white chocolate cherry bread and wow was I just in love!! I purchased a loaf. Which they were so kind enough to cut in half and double bag half so that I could freeze it. This is a definite must. They have sandwiches and hot food items that are also very reasonably priced. Indoor seating available. Self serve drink area. read more

claim they have gluten free options - it's on the website and also their menus. drove all the way over, paid for parking and when we got there they said they actually decided to not have gluten free options anymore. such a bummer and false advertising. be aware. they did offer deconstructed breakfast sandwiches which was a square egg patty and bacon. if you're not gf or celiac it may be a good option. to note: they did mention they are bringing gf options back next week. read more

Cute little place by eola! Parking is just meter so that's a bummer. Service is quick, and staff is friendly. Inside is so bright! Most of the tables are for smaller parties so keep that in mind. Wish the sandwiches came with a side that was included in the price like some chips or fruit cup. I was pleasantly surprised by the portobello pesto sandwich, I was worried the mushroom texture would be off and too earthy but the pesto was a nice compliment! Would recommend the homemade pastries as they rotate! read more

If you want a breakfast sandwich or a GF breakfast treat. Run.... Don't walk! I ate the GF biscuit breakfast sandwich before I thought to take a photo! The one thing I would change is the thin sad little bit of ham was not worth the up charge. After for being a deli... well, not if you are GF, for all the advertising and hype they don't actually have anything to make a sandwich with.... And for my gluten eating husband, this was what we got for $14. If the flavor was there, I would have been able to say more, but it was nothing special. read more

Great Harvest Bakery Cafe - Italian on wheat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

As a local with celiac, this was one of the only places in town where I could find GF goodies and food. They have announced that they are stopping their production of GF goods. Since the GF options were my main reason for patronizing this business, I sadly will not be coming back. I'm sure this is a calculation they made and are ok with, but it definitely stings when Great Harvest was one of the best and only places in town to get GF breakfast sandwiches and sweets. read more

Great Harvest Bakery and Cafe has always been outstanding for fresh baked goods (bread,bagels,scones) and amazing sandwiches and salads! It's a great place for breakfast and lunch!

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. The area was busy, and we had to park a few blocks away. You order at the cashier and they bring the food to your table. We had three different sandwiches. All delicious! We had the spicy apple bacon grilled cheese (not spicy- it had pepper jelly), chicken salad and turkey sandwiches. We didn't try the pastries, but I did buy some dried soup kits. read more

Atmosphere is clean, hip, & causal, as well as the friendly people working there. The quality rates high from me, and I'm extremely picky when it comes to eating out.

Plenty of delicious "Gluten free" options available!! Definitely check it out, you're going to get hooked. read more

This spacious and friendly bakery, breakfast and coffee spot is in the heart of downtown. I walked in to check it out and ended up staying and ordering quite a few items!

Everything was so flavorful. The customer service was also a plus, and I'll definitely be back again! read more
