We get their farmhouse white bread for our sandwiches now and this bread has much better texture (chew/bite) than most store bought brands. It also is more substantial per slice. Baked fresh daily, but it also freezes well and will last several days just sitting in the counter. At least it will last if we don't eat it all beforehand! My wife loves their scones with her morning coffee or when her lady friends gather together for tea. The Cruffins are a hybrid cinnamon roll/muffin and we probably need to cut back on this buttery, cinnamony goodness. Worth the destination trip. read more

Not as fun as it was when Mike was in charge, no samples at all anymore, and the music is too loud to stay in the store, but we like the super food bread, toasted. It's twice the price of the grocery store, but there are no chemicals in it so that's what we buy. The loyalty/reward system is really poor, nowhere near as good as it used to be . read more

Been buying their bread for years. Friendly folks and some of the tastiest, high-quality baked goods in the Upstate. Pro tip: Learn the back way to their shop. Woodruff Road traffic should be avoided at all costs! read more

I came here before 8am and the breakfast items such as muffins and scones just came out of oven. It's my first visit so i asked for recommendations. She recommended blueberry lemon muffin and cinnamon scone, which were great. She also recommended cinnamon rolls but they were not ready. I can't wait to go back to try it soon. read more

A "must try" from their stand at the Saturday Downtown Greenville market! We are visiting Greenville and I love going to the Saturday market. There are so many choices for baked goods and pastries. This enormous croissant was buttery, flakey and so very fresh. I couldn't wait to try it, so there is a corner missing, lol. Breakfast with my family the next day, my croissant was still perfectly fresh. I had some Kudzu Blossom jelly, fresh ground coffee and my croissant. read more

Bought a few loaves at the Spartanburg Market. Puts any Bread Loaves that I have bought before to shame. When in Greenville I will buy a few more! The Croissant, I will buy a Dozen next time. If they make them without Chocolate in the inside. The Croissant was absolutely Perfection. Sadly I only bought the one to try. read more

I came here to order some bread for my daughter's teacher since she requested fresh bread as a treat item for her. I ended up getting three loaves. I told the guy what I wanted and he told me to go wait in the other line to pay. It took a while to pay and when it was finally my turn she asked what I ordered and I told her. Even though they were sitting on the counter I saw her proceed to get my order on the displays. Someone stopped her and told her that my order was already ready. Not a huge deal but a little time consuming overall. I got 3 loaves of pepperoni bread. Very delicious and savory. I will get this again for her teacher and myself! read more

Great Harvest Bread - Fresh baked pepperoni roll up made this morning! - Bakeries Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Holy cannoli the focaccia was the best I ever ever had. Literally so darn delicious. I bought the spinach, tomato and feta at the Farmer's Market and had it for dinner. So. So. GOOD. read more

I've been to many Great harvest Breads from Michigan to South Carolina. This one is the only store that overbakes every loaf of bread by about 5-7 minutes. (Either this or the ovens are running too hot). It is unfortunate, because the flavor of the bread is good, but the whole crust area is dark brown, and super tough. it ruins the softness of the inside bread texture too, as it is somehow "too dried out." Bummer! read more

Recently I was given a packaged of sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies from this bakery. These cookies are awful. The sugar cookies are hard and taste as though you are eating spoon fulls of sugar. The chocolate chips have a burnt after taste. read more

First-great service, very nice store aesthetically. I also love how they give the samples. However, the bread is overpriced. I'm happy to pay a premium for scratch made bread. Even more so if this was a small business (which I thought it was). Even if it was, the prices are too steep. But it isn't, and the Asiago loaf I purchased was overcooked, and if I'm paying 9$ for a regular sized loaf of bread, I expect it to have much more generous inclusions than a sprinkle of cheese and herbs on top. Disappointing. Edit: the snickerdoodle cookie I purchased was also dry and hard, and had a weak cinnamon flavor. read more

Legit! Real sourdough bread (made from a starter), as well as lots of other lovely types of bread and treats. Very friendly service. Can't wait to go back. Next time, I'm going to try the cinnamon rolls. read more

I am truly upset with myself for overlooking this gem for so long. I must have driven by this bakery at least 2 times a week over the last year and never recognized it as a bakery independent from Starbucks, so I never stopped in. Now that I know it is an independent bakery, I want to kick myself squarely in the butt for not visiting it sooner. Good, well good is an understatement. This place warrants a huge Friends and Family recommendation. I will be back, again and again and again. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The sample platter is exceptional and the bakery items....well they speak for themselves. Insanely tasty!!!! Simply put...you need to check this place out. OUTSTANDING establishment!!!!!! read more

Great Harvest Bread - Oh so tasty. - Bakeries Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Best place to get fresh baked bread. Yummmm. Don't forget to get here early, the bread can sell out quickly some days.

I've always believed the next best thing to eating food, is talking about it. The better the food--the more I want to share it's wonders. Yelp is the perfect avenue for foodies like me to share. When sharing about all things categorized as delicious yeast yumminess, Great Harvest Bread rests at the top of the grading scale for me. It's a high honor in a world where just about everyone doesn't measure up. From the first bite among the plethora of sample choices offered, my senses exploded with yumminess. In Home Economics II, Miss Singer drilled into us that "all good food comes from good ingredients...No shortcuts..." A precept I try to live by. With that in mind, I've learned GHB grinds their own flour. Also, they're happy to share their list of organic and fresh ingredients and walk you through their products. Though their ingredients are of the highest level, it's more than that--it's the sum of them mixed with love and baked to perfection that equals a happy place for all. Inside you'll find a bright, airy and spotless environment. It's free of the hoity toity uncomfortable feeling that comes with certain niche places. It's a comfortable wonderfully aroma filled adventure. Just walking in you're all in--There is no way you can leave without product. Trying the samples led me to buy the two loafs I tried, Extreme Cinnamon Swirl and Old Fashioned White Bread. Also, they sell Coffee and have a seating area. GHB has the cool feel of an earlier America that had specialty shops that survived by being the best. Places where you know their names and their story. Quickly I learned that the gentleman who runs GHB is a seminary grad and his wife is a nurse anesthetist their children are grown. These folks are our neighbors and pillars in society. It's the best of community...It's 5-star deliciousness. You need to go there soon... and rediscover your happy place. read more

Great customer service!! Great bread! We are there every week for our bread!!! The employees are very friendly and helpful always!!!

I love stopping by Great Harvest for a little treat or a loaf of bread. Most of their items are soy-free which is helpful for me. The service is always wonderful, and I love sampling a slice of whatever they have in front. I appreciate the staff's cheerfulness. I love Great Harvest's presence at the local markets, too. The owner, Mike, has a heart of gold. read more

Stopped in to check it out this bakery. The aroma of baked bread as you enter is Amazing! They provide lots of samples. We are a big group and they were happy to give everyone a try . You'll find things like scones in a variety of flavors, chocolate pumpkin loaf, pepperoni and cheese loaf (like pizza), pretzel wreath, seed loaves, low carb breads, non dairy choices and so many more. They have nut spreads including a peanut pecan one! We tried the cinnamon butter which was delicious. The front staff is very knowledgeable about the breads and ingredients. We found out about them when visiting Happy Cow Creamery. Happy Cow sells their pepperoni and cheese loaf. We're happy we came here. Locals are lucky to have this amazing bakery in town. Great service, wonderful staff with a really happy attitude. We'll be back for sure! read more

love love love the cinnamon chip bread. it's a family favorite and such a great thinking of you kind of gift. like the new owners putting the breads all out and doing samples again. i appreciate being able to see all the bread before getting to the register to order and feeling stressed read more

I'd be shocked to find a bakery anywhere in SC that impressed me as much as this one. It is clear that there is a wealth of passion and talent behind these counters. I can't wait to try every single delight they offer. read more

DON'T FORGET THE TREATS! Following breakfast, we decide to stop by and get some treats for later. This store is about 1/4 the size of my local store so that was totally unexpected. This was not a problem because they still have enough room to do what they need to do. In our local store the samples are on a raised self-serve platter away from dirty little hands. You are able to help yourself, (with utensils), and get what you want. In this store, you will have to wait until they are available to actually serve you because they don't want your grubby little hands in the mix. Anyway, it's something to know. After sampling, I decided to purchase the pumpkin bread and my husband decided on the apple tart. I also requested a sample of the banana bread which was more of a serving but who's complaining. I love the quality baking that has become a standard with Great Harvest. The products are fresh, simple, (not overly dressed or too sweet) and delicious. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack. If you really want to get dirty, you can warm them up and add a scoop of ice cream. We both loved our treats and will return to Great Harvest again on our next visit to the city. Give it a go! read more

I was stoked when I moved to Greenville and learned they had a Great Harvest Bread here! We first discovered this chain in Charlotte, and I am pleased to say that this location in Greenville did not disappoint. As others have mentioned, their parking lot is definitely bit of a nightmare. However, it's totally worth it to get some of their yummy bread. In case you didn't know, they use fresh-ground grains in all their goods, which definitely makes a difference in the taste and quality of their goods. They also use all-natural ingredients and no preservatives. They put out a menu to let you know which days they make a particular product, so you can plan a trip ahead of time if you know which one you want. If you are unfamiliar with their breads or baked goods, most of them are available for sample in the store. The sample sizes are quite generous as well! The staff here have been great and friendly as well. There is usually a person helping us indecisive people by asking if they want samples. As for prices, their breads are around $5-7 per loaf and their baked goods are around $2-3. It might be pricier than what you buy in the store, but the quality is ten times greater. My partner and I used to waste a lot of sandwich bread, but the stuff we buy here gets eaten rather quickly. This place is great! read more

Truly like going to a mom and pop bakery, I like to get all my bread here. Truly fresh everyday, plus there is always a huge variety of new breads to try out. You never know what they might have baked for the day. read more

Great Harvest Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

My five star rating is based only on the cinnamon bun that we shared at the farmer's market. It was both light/fluffy and sinfully tasty. That's what you want out of a cinnamon bun/roll, not feeling bloated and terrible, but ready for 3 more! read more

The fresh dough breads are great. The bread selection is good too. My Opinion: Must try read more

This is such an impressive bakery. Feels like a true small business that has the most enthusiastic bakers. Always happy to give fresh, free samples. We brought $50 worth of bread to Columbia around Christmas time to give as gifts to different party hosts, and there was nothing but rave reviews. We actually had to make another trip up to Greenville primarily to pick up more bread from Great Harvest, because everyone wanted more of it! Insider tip: Call in your order ahead of time, at least a day or two in advance. This is the only way you can guarantee the type of bread you want will be baked and held with your name on it. Otherwise, you will only have the choice of buying whatever they happen to be making that particular day. read more

My favorite place to get coffee in Greenville! The people are fast and friendly. They give you tons of free samples. Great butter! The muffins are delicious. I am a regular customer because the bran muffins keep me regular. Pepperoni rolls are huge loafs made from soft , yummy dough, pepperonis and other stuff! Plus, they support the local community! Delicious! read more

How did I not know about this wonderful place ? Walk in and inhale, oh my lawd ! The wonderful smell of baked love . You can tell they start early, 4:00 am and by time they open the place is full of sweet breads , cinnamon rolls and savoury garlic or rosemary or jalapeño cheddar breads or so many more. Definitely Check out the menu and the Special breads for the seasons . Today I sampled cinnamon rolls and a "sample " fed 3 of us a bite. It was heavenly. I purchased a huge loaf of Blueberry cream cheese . It's divine . It's also plenty to share with family. I have to go back next week to buy last minute Christmas gifts . Who wouldn't want a treat for Christmas?!! read more

Wonderful bread, great service and the prices are dead right. We just hate the parking lot and getting in and out. Obviously not their fault, but it makes it hard for us to want to keep going back because it can take 15 minutes to pull out of the lot. The Rosemary bread is a dense beauty and for $6 or so, feeds a small army. Try the cinnamon chip scone and then thank me later. The only thing I will say is that you kind of feel rushed and there is nobody saying "Have you tried this?" Now I know that is not always feasible or even expected, but a little more help up front with some descriptions on how things taste might help a little bit. Overall, you cannot go wrong. Some of the best we have had to date. These guys make you want to be a breadatarian. read more

Hard to find anything to say beyond "yum". Whether it is bread or scones or cinnamon rolls their products are always fresh and tasty.

Best blue berry bread ever. They have tons of free samples to try all there breads. The butters go very well with all the breads. They also have butter from happy cow. This is a must on everyone's list to do. read more

Smells AMAZING when you walk in. I wish I could have sat and sampled some of the yummy breads. They have a nice seating area in the front to do just this. I came in for my favorite West End Coffee, Jamaican Me Crazy, which is a little cheaper here than at Fresh Market. This would be a great place to pop in for a hostess gift - cute kitchen towels and yummy treats to accompany their fresh bread. The staff was also incredibly smiley and friendly. I'm impressed. read more

Previously, this place would have gotten four stars but they've changed their cinnamon roll recipe and now the cinnamon rolls are dry and crusty. That used to be our go-to menu item. The scones are very good and occasionally they do a blackberry cream cheese dessert that's amazing. They also sell West End Coffee so that's a plus. The pepperoni roll up and Popeye breads are some of their best menu items. I also really like that they offer low carb bread options. Also subtracting a star due to the very high prices here. If they could knock a dollar or so off the prices I think they'd have a higher customer base. read more

We're new to the GV area and are pleased to have discovered this fabulous bread. Great Harvest produces bread that is both nutritious and utterly delicious. And the cinnamon rolls are a delight. We usually buy the bread at the GV Saturday Market, as we can avoid the dreaded Woodruff Rd. experience. But...there is a "back way" to get in and out--via the Hobby Lobby parking lot behind the store...so call and ask staff for the "secret" to using that route. We buy the bread every week and wouldn't buy anything else now. No one has bread that can compare. (Try the rosemary garlic; it's our favorite. Makes terrific sandwiches.) Jan Craig-Olinger Taylors read more

The staff here are so friendly and helpful. They let us sample almost everything for about 20-30 minutes (all the breads and pastries were very good) and never pressured us to buy anything. My friend and I walked away with two loaves and some pastries, and now we're hooked! read more

The absolute best scone ,I have ever eaten. Pumpkin chocolate chip muffin, outstanding
