This review is long overdue! My family and I spent a few days in Temecula and when we were waiting for our hot air balloon company to depart, I saw the Great Harvest Bread Co. in the plaza. After our balloon ride, my carb loving self immediately headed over to Great Harvest to pick up some baked goods and sandwiches for lunch. OMG...the baked goods are super yummy (especially the cinnamon roll!) and the sandwiches are amazing too. The lady who worked the counter was super friendly as well. I went back the next day to try their apple bread. It was fresh from the over...warm and soft, and was it like eating an apple pie in a bread. I think I practically ate that whole loaf by myself. SO SO GOOD!! The baguette is crusty and delicious and so good when warm. Highly recommend if you are in the Temecula area!!!! read more

03-26-25: Cinnamon Burst Bread PERIOD!! lol I don't live in Murrieta but my friend does, so if I come up or she comes down to SD, we have to get some. She came down this past Saturday and she brought 4 loaves down with her for me and my friend. Sooo good as french toast or even just toasted with Nutella or plain butter or cream cheese. So yum! Staff is also very nice! read more

I read reviews about this bakery the last time we were in Temecula, but by the time we got there in the late afternoon most of the breads were gone. We went earlier this time and picked up a couple loaves of cinnamon burst bread, the Apple cinnamon swirl bread, and some shortbread cookies. My husband wanted a sandwich and ordered their steakhouse on sour dough. After mentioning that we'd split it, it arrived already cut on two separate dishes. How thoughtful! The sandwich was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. It had a generous portion of beef and was served on freshly toasted sour dough. I'll get my own the next time because my husband ate his half and much of mine. Service was really nice and the sample of the cinnamon burst that they let us try was good for business! I ended up getting another loaf for my freezer. I signed up for their rewards program and will get to enjoy a treat the next time we're in Temecula. Conveniently located on Rancho California Road on the way to the wineries! You won't regret stopping by. read more

The bread is amazing. They mill their bread every day. There's nothing more nutritious than that. They have delicious vegetarian and vegan options as well. The service is great and the staff is really nice. read more

Was in search for some fresh bread and this place was just that! The customer service was amazing, the lady behind the counter assisted in making my bread choices as I was looking for bread to aid in soothing a stomach ache and grabbing a sandwich. There were plenty of options and she explained everything so thoroughly that you could tell she was passionate about the business! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a restroom, and clean interior. Parking lot right in front of store. read more

So thankful I found this place! Amazing bread & cinnamon rolls! & good atmosphere. I'll be back for their cinnamon burst sourdough!

Love this bakery! The bread is super fresh and there is a large variety to choose from. There is ample parking in the lot and service was great here. There is a little board of breads at the counter where you can ask to try the selections there. They also make sandwiches with their breads which I have heard that they're good. My favorite is the Kalamata olive Parmesan sourdough! There is a good amount of olives folded in the bread with melted Parmesan in it. The cinnamon roll is super good also! It was fluffy and they even warmed it up for us! read more

This place is located in a bustling shopping center, and although it was busy , my friend and I both parked easily. We got there at 1pm on a Saturday and most baked goods were sold out. There were still enough for you not to leave disappointed but I definitely recommend coming earlier so you don't miss out. It's clean and comfortable inside and everyone working was nice and acknowledged us. We ordered sandwiches...mine was the Turkey Swiss on sourdough bread....it was DELICIOUS!! I ate the whole thing and quick lol. My friend got a breakfast sandwich. We ordered at the register and they brought our food out to us. They have seating inside but I'd say it's not really good for large groups. We sat, enjoyed our food and talked to catch up for 3hrs!! The time flew by and they let us chill there without any issues. The whole time we were there, there was a constant flow of customers but never got too busy, always seating open and no more than two groups in line at a time. I will definitely be back if/when I'm in the Temecula area. I highly recommend the sandwiches and can't wait to try other baked items!! read more

Delicious, nutritious, and amazing. The cinnablast is worth the 45 mile drive. Different daily specialties, breakfast sammie's, I mean I can't say enough amazing things about this place. Must visit. read more

Im really disappointed with the experience I had here today. I ordered two Turkey Pesto sandwiches with no vegetables and balsamic on the side, plus a Caprese. Instead, I was given one Turkey Pesto and a Caprese. After pointing it out, I paid for the second sandwich, but when it was being made, I noticed the staff adding vegetables (which I had specifically requested to be left off). When I clarified again, the employees (Katie and Joshua) argued with me, insisted I hadn't ordered it that way (just like I didn't order 2 of the SAME sandwiches), and Katie flat out said, "I'm not remaking them." Rather she told me she would scrape everything off. This is especially upsetting because I have a tomato allergy, and rather than correcting the mistake, they dismissed me. I come here often, I've never been rude, and my order has never been wrong before. But today I felt completely disrespected as a customer, and more importantly, my allergy was ignored. Sadly, after this experience, I can't say I'll be coming back. read more

Delicious bread company. Cute store. They sell all sorts of fun things. I tried their cranberry turkey sandwich on jalapeño cheese bread. Really good. Sandwich was fresh. Lots of flavors. Staff is nice. Good people. I already told my wife and aunt about this place. read more

After a quick search on Yelp, we discovered Great Harvest Bread Co since we like supporting small businesses and who can resist a great bakery, right? We noticed on their menu they have some baked items daily while other items are only on specific days of the week. We came here on a Friday morning and they normally have their daily goods baked warm and ready at 9am. We came at around 9:30 and it smelled amazing. // BAKED GOODS // Cinnamon Burst: A huge, round loaf with cinnamon chips in every bite. They recommend using it to make French toast which is exactly what we did when we got home. It's not too sweet and it's works well as French toast too so I would recommend that as well! Roasted Garlic Rosemary Sourdough: This is my first time having rosemary in my sourdough bread. It was good, but slightly overpowering. However, when you toast it up and top it with avocado or make a sandwich out of it then it was perfect. Some parts had huge chunks of the roasted garlic while other slices didn't have any pieces of garlic. Cinnamon Scone: I am not a fan of scones at all, but this was the best thing here! Normally, scones are too dry and are not the most flavorful things in the world, but this scone was topped with a slightly sweet cinnamon cream that was perfection! This paired so well with my cup of coffee. If I lived closer I'd be in trouble since I would literally come here everyday to get this!! I highly recommend trying this out! The next time I come here I will definitely try some of the other scones that they have. read more

BAKING FROM THE HEARTH AND HEART If you are fortunate, you grew up in a home where baking was like breathing and made every meal a better one. Walking into this bakery felt like going home. Like home, Great Harvest delivered hallmark scents we cherish, like cinnamon, rosemary, and chocolate notes that infused the air. As you wade through wafting aromas, you get an olfactory invitation to slow down and enjoy the moment. So, I took them up on their invitation. VARIETY IS KEY The kind and attentive staff made my visit easy and cheery with many "Good vibes." Their extensive product line rotates daily, so hit the website and find what you like. WHOLE IS THE GOAL - BLUEBERRY STREUSEL BREAD An energetic young man lite up when I put a Blueberry Streusel on the counter, which he loved. The young man was right - it's absolutely delicious. * BREAD-CAKE MASH UP: The texture and flavor mirrored a light, airy pound cake with color to match. It was moist and very pleasant to eat. The flavors had depth and richness lacking in most dessert or breakfast breads. * FRESH BLUEBERRIES: Large, dark blueberries pop with flavor and natural sweetness you'd expect in a quality product. * PERFECT STREUSEL: Just enough brown sugar/cinnamon streusel covered with a light icing that perfectly finished this delicious bread making it a perfect breakfast tea companion in the cool Temecula mornings ahead. Quick Note: The ingredients list included Sour Cream. Sour cream can be a game changer in rich and significantly sweeter breadmaking. Whether on top or inside the bread, it blends flavors and adds richness to create an undeniably better product. ARNOLD SCHWARZENNEGAR RATING I'll Be Back! read more

Excellent food and nice cozy place. Breakfast items or lunch Eat in or take out. Great bakery items

We had our first lunch here recently on their outdoor patio on a beautiful afternoon. Our family of 6 adults and 3 kids all enjoyed our sandwich choices and each took a loaf of bread home. So many choices. Our Cinnamon Burst was amazing. I'm betting it will make a fantastic French toast, if there is any left. So fresh and good. The flyer shows the prices. I just wish we had a bakery like this in Murrieta. We don't so we'll be back here when we're in "knead" -- awesome! read more

We recently found out that many of their baked goods contain artificial flavors and dyes, which is really disappointing because we've always loved this place. Since everything is made in-house, we had hoped they would use cleaner, more natural ingredients. To be fair, their bread still seems fine, this concern is specifically about their sweet baked goods. read more

The last couple of times we've gotten sandwiches here, the bread doesn't seem fresh! These sandwiches always had the softest breads ... now they're dry and almost stale? Last time I thought it was a random batch, but it's been the last 3 times. What happened to the quality? read more

Came here to get some work done, it is so nice to spend time in the morning here with freshly baked breads! I ended up getting a bacon breakfast sandwich but ny favorite part was the butter they used on the fresh bread! They also have fresh coffee in the morning. Only one spot with an outlet so it might be difficult. Everyone was pleasant. read more

tried the blueberry cream cheese scone for a quick snack. Picked up their Alaskan sourdough and it was quite fluffy. It is not the rustic kind of loaf but is evenly soft and well-baked throughout. I made a quick tuna salad at home to go with it and it was really yummy. We also bought the roasted garlic rosemary one to try once we finish the Alaskan loaf. They have soup packs from this brand I've had gifted by family so I was excited to see them and bought a couple home! Perusing their selections, the pastries are quite large and definitely sharing portions. We will return when in the area! read more

I came in here a couple weeks ago and forgot to write a review! We had ordered the day before to get 2 loafs of bread online and cake to pick it up the next day and was informed they don't make that type of bread that day and that they had run out from the day before but they actually made us a fresh loaf just for us. We really appreciated that. Thank you so much. Awesome costumer service! read more

Two words- cinnamon bread. I've never been crazy about cinnamon buns, let alone cinnamon bread, but this takes the cake...er...bread. The place itself is BUSY. It's small, with limited seating indoors which fill up quickly. Since the pandemic I've been more of a grab and go kind of gal, so I looked at the menu prior and came prepared. There are menus upfront, which offer a generous variety of sandwiches, bakery goods and bread - there are also big boards posted above the counter which indicate daily specials which will make you dizzy with choice paralysis. The whole ordering experience itself is overwhelming because it's a visual bombardment of delicious choices. I wish I could say we chose at least one thing I would not get again, but unfortunately that was not the case. Its plain and simple. They specialize in bread, they make delicious bread and then they sell the delicious bread. I'll need to run marathons to keep my carb count balanced with this place! The lady at the counter was exceptionally nice, friendly and understanding of my complete confusion of what to order. I ended up getting a blueberry and cream cheese scone, cinnamon bun and a huge loaf of cinnamon bread. I don't regret any of the choices except for the high consumption of carbs that happened after I got home. The bread is not overly sweet, has a perfect crunch when toasted and is just straight up indulgent. Unfortunately this place is located pretty close to us and unfortunately I'll need to go back everyday to try the daily specials. What a fantastic problem to have! read more

The ambiance? Wow! It smells soooo good in here. With all the baking of fresh bread daily, it makes you want to take every kind of bread home! The service was phenomenal. She knew her menu and I love walking into a place having questions about the menu and employees knowing their stuff. The food? Well...let's just say this is now my all time favorite place to get a sandwich. I ordered the wine country sandwich and a cinnamon/apple bread (fresh out of the oven) to take home and make French toast with and I couldn't believe how fast it came out. Thank you Great Harvest Bread, for existing! About 12 yrs ago or so, I was managing a salon and won a basket of bread. I believe Great Harvest bread was fairly new. I've since moved to Winchester but I will now bring my friends and family to come and taste the best bread in town. Btw, I made my French toast and my family absolutely loved it! . I should have taken pictures. I will for our next trip in. read more

The service was amazing and the food was better than that, if that's even possible. I could never work here because I'd eat everything! This is a must if you're in the area! They even have things you can take home and bake! read more
