I went in, read the menu, saw that they had iced coffee, so I asked for an iced mocha thinking they would have that. Instead I got yelled at and condescended to- she (the owner I think) said "we don't do that fancy shit here, you're gonna have to go across the street for that. You want a regular coffee?" I said no, and then she saw that I was also getting sprite and said "Well, Sprite has caffeine in it." and she said all this while I was paying 9.50 for a basic grilled cheese and sprite served on a paper plate. I'm not some rich bitch from cali- I literally live here and work at a drugstore and get that "fancy shit" from the gas station. read more

Great bakery - had my first breakfast sandwich here with dakota sweet white bread, the whole thing just melted in my mouth. The bread was so soft that it seemed that it wasn't even there, just blended with the cheese and turkey very well. Yes read more

Paid 16.00 for two loaves of bread. Little pricey to me. But figured if it's good it's worth it. The monkey bread was great. 3 stars for that. But the sourdough was beyond doughy and quite disappointing. Sad because for the price I was expecting much better. read more

Had such high hopes for this place! Was introduced to this franchise while on a trip to Fort Collins, CO. Bought the cheddar-garlic bread and a "powerbar-style" cookie bar. Both were amazing. HAD to find one of these stores close to home. Hooray! They have one in Naperville! Well: Naperville's cheddar bread was nothing like the to-die-for loaf I'd just eaten. It was supermarket ordinary -- at $7.50 a loaf, mind you! I mistakenly also purchased their "shortbread" cookies. Oh please: white tasteless dough balls. Ugh! Well -- live and learn: $23 bucks wasted. Franchises are suppose to replicate proven recipes. Don't know what happened here. Can hardly wait to return to Ft. Collins for truly wonderful Great Harvest breads and cookies. read more

I have made the special trip to Naperville to buy bread at least 4 times now. These breads are made on site daily. Check the schedule or call ahead if you are looking for something specific. In the store they give out free samples of several breads and goodies. Breads taken home: Honey Whole Wheat Bread - Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Honey, Yeast, Salt, Eggs Hawaiian Sweet Bread - Summer only Easter Sweet Bread - Spring Only Dakota - the one w seeds Monkey Bread - never lasts long I usually freeze the bread and toast it for breakfast. You can request an extra bag/tie to avoid any freezer burn. The breads are more expensive but they are freshly made with fresh ingredients. A sign posted said they were expanding and opening a sandwich and soup section at this location. read more

Yes - Red White and Blue Bread is back for the 4th!! Stop in before it is gone, and try the squeezable peanut butter packs - sample sizes to test - cinnamon peanut butter and maple almond butter - delicious. Oh and the Rustic Tomato Bread - gaga over this toasted with hummus - served it instead of chips today at our BBQ and everyone loved it. read more

Friendly, clean with many fresh products at this little bakery. Plus they offer really good coffee. Saw "Babka" for the first time too since the Seinfeld show made it "famous." This dessert or breakfast bread was available in three varieties. Enjoying a delicious cinnamon roll which will bring me back. read more

And disappointing shelf products a number of them have corn syrup check ingredients before you buy. Coffee was great. Gluten free is tough if you are celiac bc it's still a facility where wheat is milled so it is airborne and cross contaminated if you are very sensitive but if not celiac it's not an issue. This could be a great spot for a great bakery. Just remove corn syrup, price breads competitively and offer more variety... I have to update this review because I gave it another shot and ... The monkey bread was divine AND I didn't see corn syrup in the ingredients on the shelf products. They're gluten free breads are better tasting and competitively priced. Well done!! Great bakery now! read more

Great Harvest? Friggin' Fantastic Harvest, more like it. Boom. Gluten free loaves and cookies. . . .pumpkin chocolate chip bread that will make a grown man cry. The Snickerdoodle cake bread was like a giant muffin of glorious cinnamon chips, cinnamon swirls, cinnamon ridiculousness! No, it's not cheap, but it's not the bakery at your local grocery store, either. Duh. It's worth the splurge. Go. To. There. Now. read more

Bready good!! I don't know how else to put it. Samples galore with breads ranging from savory to sweet. And I love the staff! They were quick to ask me which bread I wanted to sample--I didn't even have to ask! I went with one of their most popular breads--Garlic Cheddar. It was $7 and worth every dollar. I also got their seasonal pumpkin chocolate chip bread ($7.50) which was also very good. And this is coming from someone who prefers savory over sweet anything. While this place may be a bit pricier than your local grocery store, I think it's worth it. Especially if you are a carb monger like I am and love love love yummy breads. Stop by--you won't regret it. read more

Oh boy! I really miss this place. They offer a great selection of breads, all you can imagine! Service s a Hit or miss some of them could be more friendly, but the quality Of the products worth the unhappy faces lol They have the most amazing,delicious oatmeal chocolate cookies I've ever had. Wish they offer a shipping service for all of us out of the state fans. read more

Whenever I come into Great Harvest, I am there for one thing and one thing only: the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They always moist and are by far the best damn cookies around. They also have specials on Irish Soda bread, which is always really delicious. The staff is always very courteous and fun to chat with. You can really tell that they genuinely want people to try their products: they always have samples out and if you try it out, they can't wait to hear you opinions and suggestions! It's so nice to have a staff who really cares about what you think and who really try to to be responsive to their customers' needs. You should expect to pay a little more here for bread and pastries than you do at the grocery store, but the quality of their stuff is really great and I don't feel like it's too expensive of a leap. read more

The food was wonderful, almost too good. Workers are super friendly and helpful. The catch is that the owner is a bit rude. He treats his customers (us) and his employees poorly for what we can see. Moral of the story: food and employees are amazing, management is not the best. We came in and sampled the bread they offer everyday. Before my work crew had the chance to buy anything (which we always do), he made a snarky comment about having to buy something. His remark was unnecessary and completely baffled my crew and I. read more

Automatic second stop after Succulent Seafood, a couple doors down. I love the ingredients - so fresh. The asiago italian is lovely, also the tomato, the straight-up french/italian or whatever - all delish. My only minor complaint is the breads tend toward the soft side - I could do with more dense options. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies taste so wonderful and buttery. I have not tried the pies or the gluten-free stuff, but it all looks great. read more

Delicious bread. Great samples inside. Friendly service. Quite a treat...just a little pricey. Btw...they offer som scrumptious gluten-free goodies! read more

Hawaiian bread. Why are you still reading this review? You have all you need to know. Now get going. Are you gone yet? Fine: challah, hot cross buns done like my English family makes, chewy cookies, moist muffins, and bread. Hot bread, fresh bread, out of the oven and the butter's melting from the heat bread. If this hasn't set your mouth watering, I don't know what will. Great Harvest Bread Company is honestly like crack and I'm a junkie in withdrawal for this place. My willpower and the fact turning towards Gartner aligns me to the 95th Street YMCA are all that kept me from raiding the place on a daily basis as I headed to and from work. Great Harvest opens early, tempts visitors with succulent scents and heady aromas. Did you know chicken and baking bread are the most comforting and beloved scents to western cultures? There's a conspiracy going on, I guarantee you, one you want to be in on. I can just bask in here while a line snakes forward, absorbing the contentment on the atmosphere. I've never ordered a bad product, in part because samples allow me to try many things and the standards for quality are just so high. I restraint myself from grazing and focus on one key goal: this loaf, that bag, that's it. Okay, maybe one hot crossed bun. Oh, who am I kidding, everything here is soft, chewy, and immensely flavourful. The demise of traditional bakeries around western Chicagoland has left a glaring hole in my life for freshly baked bread which Great Harvest amply fills. Staff are delightful people greeting the regulars and bantering with newcomers alike. They are actively involved in Naperville, coming out for all kinds of special events, sponsoring drives, encouraging students, engaging with families and seniors and everyone in between. I support businesses who care for and support the communities they are in. Great Harvest's employees generally seem happy and thrilled to work there, and that says a great deal. Happy employees, happy food, happy me. Thank you, Great Harvest. I miss you living in Michigan, and you're one of the surefire places I stop at whenever I'm in N'ville. read more

Let me start by saying that I love Great Harvest and I drive from Montgomery to the Naperville store and have been for years to purchase their goods. Today however I was parked in front of the store watching two ladies talk in the corner without masks on. This is a place that the bread company has set up for eating-standing room only. They had admittedly been there for 30 mins. This is a bread store, no indoor dining even according to their website and a sign posted on their door saying masks must be worn at all times. Yes they were a good 10 feet from the cashier but this is a bakery. Please leave the dining to the sidewalks in the summer if you want. There really isn't room or ventilation inside for it plus you make food for others to ingest. It's a pandemic and you lost a customer because of this move. Your employee didn't have much to say either. read more

Fantastic bread and yummy treats - their gluten free chocolate chip cookies are one of my favs! Super staff and really great ingredients make this gem a winner all around. read more

Awesome breads! I love them all. The seed and nut bread was surprisingly wonderful and moist. Blueberry bread...OMG. You can freeze any of it and it is like it was when fresh after thawing. read more

I am so happy to have this Great Harvest Bread Co. here in our neighborhood. The breads here are so amazing! It is so delicious, soft, and flavorful. They also have cookies that is so sweet, delicious, and it has a unique taste. Their breads here had quality ingredients, no preservatives, and so worth the prices. The aroma of their produce is spreading in the whole place. Which is so great and give a nice vibe to all of their customers. Their staff here is so nice, decent, and friendly. They are so accommodating. They also give reasons to all of their customers to come back. They are really great people! This Great Harvest Bread Co. is so huge, they have parking lot, they have clean restrooms, and their place is well-maintained. They are so easy to find and to go to. You can also visit some other well-known places near their location. Very convenient and great location. Can't wait to go back here again soon and try some of their new produce, also really want to order again my favorite food on their menu, especially the cinnamon. Thank you guys for such a great customer service! Your place is a gem in this area. Thank you and keep up the good work guys! Sensational! read more

Great Harvest Bread Company is a must. I agree with Dan P that if I culd give it 6 stars I would. They have the best bread at this bakery and my favorite is the cinnamon swirl bread- I honestly could eat the entire loaf in one sitting... it's that good. I highly recommend going here- and if you are feeling like something chocolate-y try the chocolate chip cookies- they are so good! My mouth is watering as I'm writing this review. read more

This place has a terrible business practice - it's illogical, tacky, and just plain cheap. Let me explain . . . Fall is upon us, and I have heard rave reviews about the pumpkin chocolate bread at this location. I love the idea of being able to sample a new-to-me product before I purchase, so I was excited to travel to their Naperville location and give this bread a whirl. When I got there, I asked for a sample of the pumpkin chocolate chip bread, and was told that they don't offer samples of that bread, because it is their most popular, and customers will come in just for a free piece, and then not buy anything. Therefore, they only offer the lesser popular breads for samples. In looking at these samples, they were hardly sustainable - really just a taste. "I drove specifically across two towns to have a bite of your pumpkin chocolate chip bread, was completely satisfied, and turned around and came home," said no one ever. To add insult to injury, I was told I could "buy" a sample of the chocolate chip bread if I wanted. Yes, that's right - I could purchase one slice of this bread, and then buy a whole loaf if I liked it. What if Sam's Club or Costco had this business model - "Only $2.49 to sample a Bagel Bite! If you like it, you can buy the whole box!" In reality, if I had been given the chance to sample the product and had surely loved it like everyone else does, I probably would have purchased multiple loaves - one for me, my mother-in-law, and the hostess of a party I'm attending. Plus, they would have gained a repeat customer for potentially years to come. Instead, I choose not to further support an organization who treats customers in such a degrading matter. read more

I'm in the middle I want to give it five stars because I just got their asiago bread and it taste delicious, but I just read the ingredient list and they use high fructose corn syrup it's so bad for you! at the prices this place charges you for a loaf you think they can use a more healthier natural form of sugar.. Might be back, might not, I don't know. Although I will say the lady behind the counter was super friendly!:) read more

I love the Great Harvest Bread Company. They sell a wide variety of goods from baked breads of all types to whipped honey and butter of all flavors. It is a very small store, but as soon as you walk in you are greeted by a smiling face and offered samples of their items. Today, I was able to try their bruschetta, pomegranate whipped honey, and garlic-infused oil on three different types of bread! It was soooo good. My favorite is the cherry coconut whipped honey on their Irish Soda bread. The whipped honey comes from Colorado and it is unlike anything I've ever tasted. Aside from breads they have a number of pastries you can purchase over the counter. They also sell gift baskets with all different types of items, which are perfect for a Mother's day gifts (which is creeping up on us fast by the way....). They also have a coffee menu where you can pretty much get the same things you would find at a Starbucks, but for MUCH better prices. This store is wonderful. read more

See all

I read people complaining that there is no "zero" stars, well I'm looking for a sixth star for this place. Happy people that like what they are doing handing out generous samples of our favorite staple. Imaginative bread baking, snickerdoodle cookies, good coffee, and very reasonable prices. The bread is a meal in itself, and there's no Starbucks within a couple of miles. read more

I have to watch my carbs and Great Harvest makes 2 types of low carb breads (cinnamon & a multi grain). Not only are the breads delicious my blood sugar has been stable. Thanks Great Harvest Bread. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have a wide selection of bread, plus cookies, muffins, and other goodies. It is always so difficult to choose. Fortunately they have plenty of samples to help out. This alone would make for a wonderful store, but it does not stop there. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They are patient and knowledgable and have never steered me wrong. One afternoon when I was stocking up on carbs, a high school aged kid came in and wanted to use the phone to call his mom for a ride. The staff let me use the phone and also loaded him up with samples while he waited. What a great place! read more

Food is excellent, staff is incredibly nice. But the owner was completely rude to my work crew and myself. I want to make it clear all of their staff is incredibly nice and the food/ treats is incredible read more

It is amazing what a difference the right bread can make for a meal or sandwich. At breakfast we have really enjoyed the cinnamon bread for a treat. The Asiago focaccia bread is also a favorite of ours. Looking forward to trying their sandwiches and salads. read more

Best bakery in Naperville, hands down. My absolute favorite is the Asiago Italian Focaccia and the Cheddar Garlic bread. These rolls are a great pair with any dinner and I'm excited to try their Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bread for fall! read more

This place has the best white bread I have ever tasted. I am spoiled, I can only eat white bread from here. Store bought white bread tastes like cardboard compared to this stuff. They have DELICIOUS cinnamon rolls, and they are fat-free, Bonus!! I can go on and on. Their white chocolate cherry bread is great. The orange blossom bread is wonderful. OK, just go here you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on most of the menu items because I am GLUTEN FREE, but the GLUTEN FREE items they offer are amazing!!! Best bread I've had yet!! read more

I like stopping here after going to Walkers Charhouse and getting some fresh bread and cookies.

We need more bread specific shops around town like this. Particularly my wife and I like the as Iago savory bread but they also have a great variety of low gluten and can I say healthy bread selections. They always have freshCut bread to sample and different dipping sauce and oils as well. This is a well established mom and pop shop bread store read more

Got to love a place that has free samples of its products. My favorite is the chocolate chip pumpkin bread but almost everything I've had is awesome! Don't go in there expecting a bland, tasteless white bread that you can roll into little balls....this bread is the real stuff and worth every penny. I just wish I had more time in my schedule to stop in everyday! read more

AMAZING bread and cookies. I can't believe how good their multigrain/whole is. YUM. Just as a point of reference, they don't sell crusty artisan bread, it's sliced loaves. read more

Like others have said, this place truly has the best bread. My only experience with this place is through the Wheaton Farmer's Market, but their products are consistently delicious. I've fallen in love with the rustic tomato bread, garlic cheddar rolls, and oh my god, the Oregon Herb bread - I could eat loaves of that onion-y, dill-y, poppyseed-y goodness. The staff is always friendly and always willing to let you sample something before buying it. It's a bit more pricey that what you'd find at the grocery store, but in my opinion it's worth every penny. I can't want to try some of their other items that I've missed. read more

I can't believe this place is still here! I remember coming here with my mother when I was a little kid and being super excited every time we would go. But I had never really paid much attention to what was here until more recently. And it brought me back to the past! Once you enter the door, you are embraced with the fragrance of freshly baked bread (which is what they're known for) and they have so many different choices of bread to choose from. But don't worry, they will let you taste any of the flavor combinations. Also, make sure to grab their calendar, because they change (I assume still) the varieties of bread they offer monthly. But the staff is well knowledgable and very friendly. After bringing me back to happier times, it has hooked me in once again, and I will definitely make this a regular spot. read more

The breads are absolutely delicious. They have a bunch of samples that you can try before you purchase. A bit more expensive, but totally worth it! Service is wonderful! read more

Delicious varieties of bread and specialty condiments. Bread is moist but also very dense. Try whatever is in season!
