Great Harvest is the "white bread" of, um, bakeries in Annapolis. I walked in hoping for a fresh sourdough loaf, but was disappointed to learn that they mostly bake white breads. So if that's your thing, you're in luck. Most varieties come in both round and sandwich-shaped loaf formats, and slicing is offered free of charge. While the darker, more whole-grained types are outnumbered five-to-one, they generously offer sample slices of their daily favorites. In conclusion, this place has a lot of white bread. Love it, embrace it, consume it-- and relate to it. In a way, Great Harvest is like life. So deep. So complicated. read more

I go here all the time now that I work closer to it. They have wonderful muffins and breakfast goodies every morning. They seem to have something for everyone (spinach/cheese scones, cinnamon rolls, healthy bran muffins etc). I love it! read more

So what had happened was......I needed gas yesterday and had some time to spare before going to the office. I located the nearest gas station and saw this place on the way. It looked pretty adorable, and moderately crowded for its size. I stopped by this morning and was overwhelmed by the bread selection. Loafs, scones, muffins, cookies, and more, and more! I opted for a cup of coffee, a caramel apple scone, and a monster cookie for later. The caramel apple scone was crunchy and soft in all of the right places. Oh and the monster cookie, it was a tasty cookie. Who doesn't love M&Ms, peanut butter, and oatmeal? You rarely see monster cookies at bakeries, so this is a +1 for me. The staff was friendly and the shop is tiny. You can see the massive ovens in the tiny place. It's quite charming really. read more

Oh Em Gee! This is as good as it gets for a bread bakery. Yeah they have sweet things tow but this is not the place to get your cupcakes. This is the place to come and get great bread. Friendly, helpful staff and a pretty decent selection of breads on any given day. I hadn't been here in awhile but it hasn't changed. Still a great place. read more

I enjoy coming to this bakery. It is a stop when I am town. The items are so fresh and tasty. The staff is very friendly, and they always offer samples of breads and pastries. Last time, I had the pepperoni bake which I did not really like. I was expecting more. I know this is a bread bakery, but there was a little too much bread on this item. I know sounds hypocritical. I still look forward to visiting this place. I really like their cinnamon breads. read more

Delicious! I highly recommend Great Harvest. Their bread is phenomenal. I also always am sure to get cookies while I'm in there. They are soft, chewy, and delicious! I recommend the cinnamon chip bread and the chocolate chip cookie. Those are my go-tos. read more

Wonderful muffins -- my breakfast staple. Clean shop, friendly service. Quality ingredients, awesome taste and texture. The staff is knowledgeable and answers any questions I may have. read more

OMG if I don't move soon I will explode. This place is crazy good. Love all the wonderful treats, scones, breads, pepperoni rolls, etc. I am so spoiled to have this little gem in West Annapolis. White Chocolate & Raspberry Scones are AMAZING!!! read more

Their bread is so tasty. They make it fresh every day. I can't eat that much and love the fact that they make mini/single bread loaves as well as family size. You can't get that in many places. They also take personal bread orders and are so kind and helpful. They enjoy hearing what people wants and say they will ask the owner about a certain kind of bread if they don't offer it. The cheese bread is super yummy. :) read more

I love the lowfat muffins however, I picked up one on a Friday in which t was "Mixed Berry". I do not recommend this one at all. It is the second time I got it and it was completely undercooked. It was doughy not because of the water from the raspberries but because it was undercooked. This is my second time so I will not get this one again. If they use frozen berries that is perfectly fine but they should be drained or something to eliminate the muffins from being undercooked. I had to re cook the muffin the first time in the oven. Even though they offered to replace it this time, and suggested that I reheat it in the oven, I was not in the mood. I just will not get that particular muffin again. On a side note, their chocolate chip blondies are not worth it at all unless you are looking for a blondie with just nuts. My only suggestion after the fact that my sister picked them up thinking that they did not contain nuts, is to make sure that going forward that your label says "walnut blondie" so that folks are aware that it has nuts in it. It is not your responsibility to check for nut allergies but for people who may not realize that it has nuts and they are serving them to others who may have a nut allergy, it would be helpful. Just a suggestion. Thank you. read more

Awesome bakery! The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the baked goods are delicious! The cappuccino muffins are particularly good, as is the challah bread. Their scones are always fabulous as well. They also offer a surprisingly tasty packaged chocolate chili mix that makes for a great, hearty meat. read more

Really nice breads, but don't expect crackling baguettes. These are dense with a tight crumb. Our favs are the Virginia Rolls, usually only available during holidays. There is no better vehicle in which to transport a slice of honey baked ham into your mouth then one of these butter and egg enriched rolls. Make sure you toast em as they are pretty doughy. Nirvana. read more

I wanted to send a basket of muffins and treats to a a nearby office. I emailed Great Harvest and even though they don't specialize in catering, they created a beautiful gift basket filled with a wonderful selection. In addition, they offered to deliver it for me at no additional cost! The office staff reported that everything was high-quality and delicious and they will be going to Great Harvest more in the future. This was such a pleasant experience working with Great Harvest. They had exceptional customer service. I can't recommend them highly enough for any custom order. read more

Wonderful baked goods, great gifts, and welcoming staff! We've been coming here for years. We regularly buy the challah for communion bread at St. Martin's Lutheran Church here, as well as quick breads for the church's hospitality hour. The sinful cinnamon and eggnog swirl are out of this world! I also love the scones and muffins. Saturday afternoon at Great Harvest has become a regular thing. read more

Great Harvest never disappoints! we got a lemon-blueberry sweet bread and it was fantastic. a loaf bread we got had spinach, red peppers and Parmesan, very tasty with the additions complimenting the bread not overwhelming it. a cinnamon snack stick was a nice dessert when spit. next time i am in Annapolis the asiago pesto will be nest in line! read more

Thank goodness for your great harvest. You make my morning brighter. Your big, fresh muffin is good!

So many good things to eat and the folks there are the nicest people! Three cheese rolls, muffins, cookies, loaves of bread in so many varieties. Moist muffins, three berry bran muffins (that look unbelievable), pepperoni loaf and on and on and on. We will be visiting them often! read more

Okay, the bread here is just delicious. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars are because the hours they are open, make it really difficult to get over there except on Saturdays. But anyway, here is my review. I have been here twice, and the first thing I saw was a Spinach scone (yuck was the first thing that came to mind), but I do love trying new breads and such. I absolutely loved it. I got one the 2nd time I was in and will probably get one each visit I make. I also bought their white chip and cherry bread. So delicious. It is great just as is or toasted with some butter...yum. My kids also love their cookies. They are big, so I usually get one for them to split on the way home. This is definitely my favorite bread store in the area. I love bread and would eat it constantly if it didn't make me gain weight. It is a must try. read more

I cannot believe there are only 24 reviews for this place. It's wonderful. The bread, muffins and scones, are delish, and I cannot imagine they do anything "average." I've lived in Annapolis 7 years and I don't know of another place in town like it in terms of a bakery with this type of quality, variety and value. The best part about it though is the "neighborhood feel" and the kindness of the workers. The people working there love what they do and pass their enthusiasm on to the customers. It's "small town" in that way. They print out a flyer that tells you when they offer certain breads, and they even have recipes they share. When I have people over to my house for breakfast I make a "french toast casserole" recipe I got from them. They also supply the baked goods for other establishments in Annapolis. Recently I became addicted to their brown rice pumpkin choc chip muffin. :) read more

The staff here is as friendly as it can possibly get, what a great group of people. Very helpful, friendly and efficient. Of course it's a marketing ploy, but how many places give free samples and allow you to try one of each?! Their food sells itself - it's that good. This was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back. read more

What a cute little bakery! The staff was very attentive, well-trained and kind. I will be back :) This place is a hidden gem and if you've never tried it before you're missing out. Bought breads for my office and it was a hit! Prices are extremely reasonable and was very pleased with my purchases! Breads are fresh and always available for tasting. Love Great Harvest! read more

Best baked goods I have ever tasted. These guys have never let me down. I would highly recommend them.

Great scones, great bread, good coffee and free samples for tasting. Simple, elegant and good flavors. A nice local bakery that you will be pleased with. The only issue is that they dont have a mini oven to reheat anything on the spot. read more

Love this place so much! Love the samples and always warm and welcoming employees! They also serve really amazing coffee.

Great folks, very good coffee, and the bakery fumes reward you for walking through the door. Altogether good experience.

Excellent customer service! I go in before work a couple of times a month, and everyone is always so friendly! Not to mention, their scones, breads and muffins are delicious! The raspberry white chocolate scone and cinnamon chip bread are my favorites! read more

Awesome bakery, small, not flashy or pretentious- ovens, dolling racks, a counter and some small displays. Tucked away conveniently in quiet West Annapolis, it is worth the jog off of Rowe Blvd to get freshly baked and well baked bread. They frequently have or will create samples for you, so you can taste before you buy. Not inexpensive, but worth the investment in your health and enjoyment. read more

I made my first stop at this little gem this morning after passing by it everyday on my way to work and I wish I had checked it out sooner! The family that runs it is super friendly, the goods are baked fresh from scratch everyday, and everything looks delicious. I bought a sweet bread loaf to bring to work for my coworkers and everyone loved it, even the girl who hates all things sweet! I also really appreciated the quick and friendly service. This will be my new Friday morning stop for breakfast! read more

Super friendly staff took the time to describe everything and offered us samples of multiple products. And the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins were awesome!! read more

We LOVE THIS PLACE! great bread, friendly people, good value for price. Last year, the science project was comparing bakery bread to store bought loaf bread... Guess what... Bakery bread was better than store bought ... Lasted longer before molding, mold grew at slower rate. Why? Fresher bread... Store bought took 3-5 days from baking to our house: GREAT HARVEST was same day. Why less? Cleanliness of great harvest and lack of mold spores introduced on face of bread when the store bought was sliced in factory. GO FOR FRESH BAKED BREAD!!!!! read more

oh I sure miss the challah and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins....we don't have your stores here in Florida near me in Venice !!! So very sad... read more
