This is such a great place! First off, the women that work here are as sweet as can be and are extremely kind and helpful. Every time we go to Trader Joe's we stop in here first to see what's on display. They usually have a few types of bread or other baked goods on display for people to try, and the samples are usually the reason we get sucked into getting something. The s'mores bar and giant chocolate chip cookie are amazing. They are so warm and fresh and just melt in your mouth. I'm not even a sweets type of person but absolutely love these. read more

Great Harvest Bread - S'mores bar - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love this bakery. The breads are freshly made. I love the s'more bars. The bars are so buttery with a nice mix of salt and sugar. I experimented with the chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was okay. They are a little pricey but worth it. read more

Great Harvest Bread - Chocolate Chip Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I live in Charlotte NC- University Area. They make good bread. There seems to be a major problem with making and delivering muffins, cookies and scuffing. All their bake goods are delivered from across town. They no longer bake in this store. They wanted to save money by not having to hire a baker for this store. I get that. Here is the problem - There deliveries are often late and they do not deliver enough product. They seem to be out of touch with what the customer wants in their stores. I have seen customers come in time after time looking for sweet items and the nice lady that works there has to tell people that they do not have any. You are losing customer after customer on a daily base. Charlotte NC is big place and people will go elsewhere. I hope there is an owner or manager that runs these stores. It looks like somebody needs to visit their stores and talk to the people that work there to find out what needs to be done. I been coming to this University UNCC Location for about 5 years. This is my first ever review that I have ever given. It would not surprise me if this location closes down in about a year from not enough sales. You can't stay in business if you do not have all the items that people want to buy. I am willing to help solve your problem for free. My name is James Sughrue read more

Great breakfast sandwich! Very nice gentleman that's always working is always extremely nice in the am.

Service was great. That pumpkin muffin with the chocolate chips was great and I don't even eat pumpkin things. I would like that without the chocolate. read more

The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was superb!! I shall be getting it again in the near future!!

This shop is so cute! The bread is delicious. The woman behind the counter was very nice. I had a sandwich that features apples and jalapeño jam. It's amazing! It'll be a frequent stop for me when I'm in the area! read more

I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and would get a slice of bread almost everyday after school from Great Harvest. It was a treat to see this store when I was in the area for an event. It still tastes just as good as I remember! We went for the monkey bread and it didn't even last 24 hours in our house. We also got the sourdough and made delicious grilled cheeses. I can't recommend this place enough. The cashier was kind and the store was clean. read more

Popped in here after finishing grocery shopping next door at Trader Joe's. Wanted to see what they sell. Fresh baked bread, cookies, they even had cinnamon rolls bigger than my head. Cashier wore a mask and gloves. I purchased a peanut butter cookie-$2.75. Cookie was huge, delicious. I'll pop in again when I have more time. You should too! read more

Nice small neighborhood style bakery. Not a ton of choices but what they offer is fresh and really good. I love when they make the blueberry lemon scone/muffin. The name is a combination of the two but who cares. So good! Will stop in again when I am in that part of town. read more

Great sandwich. I had BLT and my husband god Panini with Rosemary garlic bread and it was fresh and mouth watering! Small and cozy neighbourhood bakery! I also see they have lots of choices for freshly baked bread! read more

So I decided to buy a loaf of harvest white bread from this place. I've always wanted to get bread from here. So the English gentleman hands me the loaf and this was the heaviest loaf of bread I had ever held. It was DENSE. He proceeds to tell me that it has no air in it because apparently other breads in other stores have too much air and his bread is better because it has no air. Really bizarre explanation. Anyways I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I go home and try a slice, this is essentially RAW bread. It wasn't fully baked. read more

4.5 stars. We've had bread, muffins and scones from Great Harvest Bread a few times and their baked goods are delicious. I particularly like their sweet potato muffins, blueberry streusel muffins, and cinnamon chip bread. Whenever we visit Trader Joe's next door we can't resist stopping in to buy something. They have a nice selection of breads, scones, muffins, sandwiches and more. You're sure to find something you'll love of their offerings. Definitely recommended. read more

I don't do bread often anymore but if I am going to do bread - you will definitely catch me here. Yes, this store is tiny and it gets crowded - quickly. But the people here are kind and helpful. They really do their best to ensure that they help you quickly and if there is going to be a wait, they address you and apologize for the delay. For Thanksgiving - I wanted a loaf of stuffing bread and wasn't sure if they would have any when I got off of work and made it there, so I called in the morning and they were very kind in helping me and made sure that would set aside a loaf for me to have to pick-up. You guys, that stuffing was a hit at thanksgiving. The bread was so deliciously seasoned. They recommended that you set it in a paperbag for 2-3 days so that it would become "stale". I did this and was worried it wasn't going to be stale enough, the bread I started with was just so fresh and soft - I was worried. But it worked out and everyone loved the stuffing. I didn't even have to season it much because the stuffing loaf was so delicious as is. The sandwiches and soup here are pretty amazing too. The sausage and kale soup is my favorite and the gouda and red pepper is super tasty too! I haven't had a sweet treat here that I didn't like. The sweet potato muffin is hands down my favorite and the pumpkin bars are a cream cheese lover's delight. DO NOT FORGET about their jams, jellies and butters here. They make the perfect accompaniment to their breads. read more

this bread is extremely gummy. inedible really. even toasted on both sides makes no difference. i tried some rolls this weekend and it was the same thing. other people had said something about the bread. it's like it hasn't been cooked to the proper internal temp. I will not be wasting any more money here. read more

Delicious! Fantastic customer service and the owner was as nice as she could be. Looking forward to them possibly opening on Sundays & trying the Mediterranean Bread. The Strawberry Savannah Bar was to die for! read more

Home made bread,cookies,and brownies and sandwiches The have a real starter for the sour dough it tasted more like a regular white bread but it was good They always have samples of their products. Not everything but maybe ten things They don't cook all their items every day The bread can be several days old but it's always good If you want any thing in particular,it is a good idea to call They will cook to order if you call ahead I love the sandwiches. I get the club. Full of turkey,ham, cheese and tomato and lettuce. Every thing is home made When ever I go to Trader Joe's ,I stop here read more

The first time I tried a cheese biscuit and it was delicious and then the next time a friend suggested chicken salad on Dakota bread. Oh my!! So delicious!!! Looking forward to trying more yummy items on the menu. read more

I've walked past this place every time I shop at Trader Joe's and I can't believe this was my first time trying it! Was seriously the best sandwich I've ever had! Also just the sweetest people! read more

I'm a regular at their new Cornelius so I thought I'd refresh myself with the North Charlotte store today. Its tiny! Well, maybe cozy is a better word. There's very limited seating and if there are more than 3-4 in line then the seating is sure to feel cramped. Oh well, I'll manage for breads and baked goods that are as divine as the ones they crank out! Well maintained and friendly staff are a plus. I tried the Sweet Potato Muffin today and was charmed with a light and moist Muffin that was very filling! It had just the right amount of sweet potato to give it that Late Summer- Fall flavor I've pined for since the end of the holidays last year! Just wait till October for the pumpkin spice madness to start please! I've got a berry blend savannah bar for an afternoon treat. What is a savannah bar? Why don't you find out for yourself, they give our generous samples of all the daily specials! Be sure to check the menu for great breakfast and lunch sandwiches and soups as well. I know I'm going to have a great day when it starts with Great Harvest! Their bread's are synonymous with the Cornelius location's menu as that location gets all their bread baked here (The sweets are made on-site at each respective store). read more

Great Harvest Bread - Sweet Potato Muffin, very filling. Moist/light texture, great flavor! Just the right amount of sweetness. - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Best bacon egg and cheese panini we've ever had :) Order the Rosemary and Herb bread!!!!

Glad this place opened! So close to my office too. Their bread is amazing.... so are their muffins and scones. Basically everything thats bad for you to indulge in "carbwise"... but they are health conscious as well. They get their whole wheat from family farms in Montana so that is a great selling point and statement about what they stand for. Their lunch sandwiches are pretty darn good. There aren't any tables and chairs, so it's a dash in and out type set up... but there's a bar in the corner and four stools to take a load off while waiting for your order. I ended up eating there. The staff is super friendly and know a lot about their products... it's a tough job since their recipes keep rotating on a seasonal basis. read more

the monkey bread at great harvest bread was absolutely addictive and the staff was very friendly as well!

Went there today and I am not 100% sure but I think I may have gotten food poisoning from here. I'm not fully sure if it was in the scone that I had it didn't taste old or anything like that but I'm wondering if their trays or where they were stocking the scones was not wiped down or anything like that. Perhaps bacteria ? Got very sick after eating it. read more

The parking lot is very tough to navigate because of Trader Joe's next door. Also, there are only a few tables (inside and out). It's not a restaurant. Those are the only real negatives. The customer service is excellent, and the food is super fresh. The vegetables on my wife's veggie sandwich were incredibly fresh, even memorable. My BLT was solid. My son had a turkey sandwich, which was good, but they did put a lot of mayo on it even though we asked for a just a little mayo. So, you might want to stress that point if you eat here. The most important factor here is that my wife gave her sandwich a 5 (of 5), which is extremely rare. It means the food is high quality. Definitely recommended. read more

They have quality ingredients and a friendly staff. Food is delicious and fresh!! The best BLT ever is the best BLT I've ever had!

One of the best small businesses serving the community consistently over years. We love to stop by once in a while for the artisan sandwiches and breads. The vegetarian options are just one or two but worth it, flavourful and always made with fresh ingredients. read more

My blt was delish! The bread was definitely fresh and honestly... you could tell the sandwich was just made - including the bacon! We wanted to stop by Trader Joe's but were really hungry and this was an awesome option. The ladies at the counter were very nice. While I wish the sandwich came with chips, I'm actually glad it didn't because I felt healthy and satisfied when I left. My boyfriend also ordered tomato soup and it was a nice tomato soup for a quick restaurant stop. read more

After several referrals I decided to visit this location. Cashier was welcoming and very informative about menu items. However, I was not pleased with her coworker. She was eating product while packaging food. (Without gloves) After we made eye contact she then went into the backroom behind a rack and then started to eat a cookie. read more

We tend to drop by here whenever we make the trek to Trader Joes. I've never tried any of the sandwiches but read good things in other reviews. Our favorite bread is hands down the cinnamon chip. It's like dessert for breakfast. Very good slathered in butter (But then, what's not good slathered in butter!). Don't come expecting artisanal breads but do come expecting much better than your local Harris Teeter bakery fare. On the whole cinnamon chip bread thing, it's good that Great Harvest isn't closer to home. My waistline appreciates it... read more

This place has terrible customer service. I use to enjoy picking up lunch from here, but half of the time they got my order wrong. So I stopped coming, which was saddening because when they get it right it's good. For some reason we started coming here again, on the weekends when we were in the area. I forgot the frustrations I experienced previously. They never just refund you, you have to come all the way back for them to remake and they still don't refund just for the inconvenience. I didn't even bother to ask for my money back this time I just wanted them to make it right because we hadn't ate yet. I wouldn't bother with their food, just get the loaves or desserts for in and out service. The bread is good and they have a variety. However I am beyond frustrated with this place for their lack of attention to detail on a consistent basis. I'm usually very forgiving, but there's been more times I can remember issues than having a good experience, it's just a sandwich if you can't get that right consistently then don't make them. read more

I'll never forget how I felt after the first time trying this place. I actually bought a loaf of bread among other things, and after eating it could not recall a time where I had bread so fresh. I then moved on to the scones, which I believe are actually made by God. They have a weekly schedule that gets posted online and in the store, but I usually don't bother because I've never had anything that tasted bad there. My favorite scones are the pumpkin, white chocolate raspberry, apple, and I believe they've done a cinnamon. They also occasionally do various kinds of pastry bars and cookies that are really good. I've been here for breakfast and had a tasty bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, with complimentary coffee. To make things even better, they also have a rewards program. Stop by this location or the location in midtown, pick up a dozen scones, and be an office hero. read more

I purchased a loaf of Buckwheat bread 8.50 and found long strands of auburn hair in my bread. Are you serious!?!?!?!?! Hair NETS! That's disgusting. I won't be back. read more

Great Harvest Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

They may have made some tasty treats but they have the rudest employees . Went in with my mom a few months back and she bought lunch and dessert . (They have samples at the front, but you have to ask for them ) . We asked for a small sample and the lady was silent and rolled her eyes but gave us a sample . Umm I thought samples were there to sample . She was so rude ! I told my mom I will never go back . However, yesterday we were at a place next door and my mom wanted to go back in to get a dessert to take home .she was willing to give the store a second chance . We walked in and two ladies never greeted us or said be with you shortly . Just saw us come in and went to the back . NEVER AGAIN ! There is no need to treat good customers poorly . Kindness is free people and how hard can it be !! read more

Since that always shop next door at trader Joe's I thought it to stop in and give this bakery a try as I enter I was greeted with by a lady and she asked me if I would like to sample a few of their breads that that she had on display I sampled them and found them all to be very tasty and mate fresh. I decided to go with the grilled cheese sandwich and it was simply delicious. It hit the spot. I was looking for something light and this was perfect. I would definitely visit this establishmentarian again for my bakery needs. There is also a small area to sit and dine in if you choose to and the bathroom is nice and clean. read more

8/13/13 Went for a walk intending to shop at Trader Joe's and to check out Curry 'n Cakes (previously Cakes 'N Flakes), when I noticed there was a Great Harvest Bread next door to TJ's! (I've bought bread from a couple of franchises in AZ years ago.) I dutifully checked in to Great Harvest and entered the store to see if there were any bread loaves and sweet treats I could buy after shopping at TJ's. It was great to see smiles on both of the employees manning the front. One of them asked if she could help me and readily obliged when I asked to see the book of ingredients so that I may know which non-allergenic varieties I could take home with me. The space was small, but cheerful and inviting. (There were even a few tables to accommodate dining patrons!) This store will be on my regular rotation whenever I visit The Queen City. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! I work nearby, and I try to get there before closing. On my days off, I come to get a sandwich and cookie!

Always amazing experience when you come here. Breads are exceptional and love the gluten free breads. Nice neighborhood stop.

The employees here are not the friendliest, but it's now gotten 1-star unacceptable. I heard that they sell sandwiches and I stopped in. The menu only had three sandwiches on it, and the one sandwich that I wanted was a chicken salad sandwich for $9.50. Only me and the kid behind the counter were in the store. I said, I'll take the chicken salad sandwich if it doesn't have onions. The kid said he didn't know if it had onions. I said, maybe you can check? He said he didn't know how to check. I said, just put a tiny sample on a fork and I'll know if it has onions. He looks at me like I'm some dirty hobo or drugged-out homeless person and he tells me, "We don't give samples" as though I asked to sample the caviar. I said, some part of you has to understand how insulting that sounds. He claims that he has no earthly way to determine if the chicken salad has onions, but I'm not getting a sample so I'm probably better off buying something else. I said, I will buy something else, somewhere else. Apparently this is the customer-last policies the proprietor prefers. read more

DELICIOUS FOOD! And fantastic service as well, i am a breakfast sandwich fanatic and it was just barely after 11 where they stop serving breakfast and they went out of the way to make me one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! So glad I stopped here definetly suggest trying their regular sandwiches as well but the breakfast and their cinnamon rolls were through the roof!! THANK YOU! read more
