I go to the N Raleigh location. Really love the options and tastes! I choose hi protein country crunch bread. Fantastic bourbon bread pudding seasonally. Love their pumpkin choc chip muffins or tea bread, raspberry white chocolate tea bread too. Nothing I haven't liked :) Nice to not have additives! . read more

Love that the breads are made fresh on the location with only the simplest healthy ingredients and there's variety.

Quality fresh ground wheat baked just right. No chemicals or food-like substances here. Just real bread for real humans. An oasis amidst the suburban deserts here. read more

I love the scones and tea cakes from GHB. Plus they are always willing to share a sample of everything they are baking. Very friendly and helpful staff. It smells great when you enter - very "down homey". read more

This bread can be eaten without butter! I am not one for writing reviews because I am selfish and I like to keep all the good things for myself, but I feel I must share this. I don't know what kind of magic these witches are brewing, but this bakery has me in its spell. The bread: the chewiness the smell, the friendly, friendly people but most of all the taste. When was the last time you thought bread really tasted good? I am talking without butter and peanut butter and all the other hiders of bread flavor? I'm not kidding. I am eating a piece right now with nothing on it. Do they use real butter in their cookies and pastries, you ask? Well I don't know I've never asked them... because I have never needed to! Real butter in a cookie is a must and usually the reason why I don't buy cookies out in the world, but this bakery's cookies are good as mine! No the bakery did not pay me to take the time out to write this review. I do it because I am grateful for the warm bread in a paper bag and their friendly service. Thank you witchy Goddesses of the Dough for being there for me read more

I love the options. The farmhouse cinnamon swirl loaf is my favorite! The service is fantastic and always friendly. The samples they have are always generous and give you a way to try new things without purchasing big portions. What a great place. If you haven't been, go!! read more

Farmhouse cinnamon swirl and cinnamon rolls are delicious. Don't forget cream cheese frosting.

This place is amazing. My best friend's mother brought a loaf of delicious, jelly twist bread (unsure of what it was), to my parent's cookout - this was to die for. My dad and I were just amazed at how fresh, flavorful, and delicious this was. I had to check the store out myself. Upon walking in, you are smacked in the face with all sorts of yummy smells. It is incredible. I bought a cinnamon twist loaf & a pepperoni pizza loaf. The pepperoni pizza loaf was amazing!!! The reason I gave this four stars, is because I went to eat the cinnamon twist bread I bought LESS than 3 days later and it was hard, and not even edible. Was pretty disappointed. Granted, everything else has been great so I will give it another shot possibly. The prices are a bit high, but it is a specialty bread company so it is not surprising. Plus, it is not everyday that I will be going to this place, so it is a nice treat! read more

Simply delicious... Raspberry scones, Everything bread and Cinnamon buns, Oh My! Always fresh...sometimes right out of the oven fresh! I always buy a few extras and give them to friends and family...They always rave about how delicious and fresh! Don't miss out read more

Great Harvest Bread - Raspberry Scones - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My last visit here was today. After the never friendly reception, I was stunned when an unhappy looking employee knocked a $7 sunflower loaf off the metal rack, then picked it up and replaced it on the rack. If this is done in front of a customer, I can't imagine what they are willing to overlook when no one is watching. I won't be back. read more

This was my first time here, a few times I had parked nearby and walked past, but either they were closed or I wasn't in the mood for cookie, bread, scone. I went in today, I had a sample of the cinnamon bread. It was to die for. Unfortunately you can only buy it as a loaf, I would have bought 6 if they were cinnamon buns and brought them home for hubby. I did leave with a 4 pack of scones. I thought it was good. Not as good as the cinnamon bread. Maybe I don't get it, but this was A-OK to me. I thought the scone was better than you get at Starbucks, but only slightly. I may have to go again. I was hoping for a more bakery type place. read more

I CAN NOT BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS... my husband asked me tonight- "Which do you prefer- this bread or La Farm's bread?" I almost went into shock when I realized that without a doubt I preferred the breads we had just gotten from here vs one of my favorite bakeries. I got the white chocolate chip cranberry and my husband got the spinach bread. They have a baking schedule online so it takes a lot of the guess work out of when to go. AND THEN THERE ARE THE COOKIES... I bought 2 grandma's chocolate chip cookies- one for me and one for my brother. As soon as I had finished mine I drove 40 minutes to Holly Springs to give him his. It was THAT good. Also- give their espresso bar a shot. They have some flavors not listed on the board- just ask! PS- they don't skimp on the samples ;-) read more

Great Harvest Bread - Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookie (GCC) - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Really great bakery and a few other items- tortilla soup mix, dog biscuits, biscottis, etc. The staff is normally friendly, but at times it seems they are not so crazy about kids, even though they have an area for kids to play in.... so its a little confusing. Maybe it's well deserved and they've seen too many kids not behaving themsleves, or the samples have had too many kids grab at them, but they are not the warm and fuzzy type towards children. Overall though, I come for the bread and not a kid friendly ambience. read more

I can't believe it has taken me this long to try Great Harvest Bread Company! Since I did a couple of months ago, I've been a frequent visitor. I workout around the corner and would always drive by, but it look dark (from the road) and I just didn't think of it. I participated in the Y's Ramblin' Rose triathlon and Great Harvest was providing breads for the athletes. I tried their cinnamon bread and pepperoni bread and was hooked. I promised to stop by for a visit... and I did. The first few times I tried out some cookies and maybe a sample of whatever bread they had on hand. They always have a case filled with the specials for the day, and they're generous with their samples. I started buying the loaves of their honey wheat bread to replace our regular store bought. Then one day, I sampled the Dakota bread... and my life was forever changed. The nutty goodness of that bread has now become a staple in my house. After another fluke visit where I spent 30 minutes waiting in line for the Starbucks drive thru down the street, I remembered that Great Harvest sells Pete's Coffee. I love Pete's from when we lived in California and hadn't had it since we moved. Well, now I'm stopping in a few times a week for my Pete's latte, fresh baked goodies (breads, cookies, muffins, etc), and the overall friendly atmosphere. I don't know why I always thought it was closed because there's a steady stream of customers at all times. The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious. I love supporting small businesses and this is one that makes me happy to have in my area. read more

I LOVE bread and this is the best place in Raleigh to get it. Seriously, no doubt. Great coffee too. I'd say they best thing they do is their special bars and specialty bread. Our office has moved, but we used to be very close to Great Harvest Bread Company, and I'd go there in the mornings just to pick up some fresh bread, cut it up, and put it out for our team, and they'd just devour it. It's that good. read more

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

Great variety of bread, rolls, scones, gluten-free bars, etc. Website lists their baking schedule so you can plan your visit or order ahead. They offer free samples of several flavors each day. Nice cafe space for eating your treat and coffee, plus a free book exchange. Always friendly staff and a clean store. A bit pricey, but very tasty and fresh. read more

Locally-owned chain, totally laid back and driven employees, and the best coffee and scones on Earth. My 3- year old and I make a weekly stop before his school in the morning, and are greeted like family. Can't put a price on that. read more

I searched everywhere for Irish soda bread for st.patrick's day. A worker at a grocery store told me about great harvest bakery. He told me it was a little pricey but it's because everything is freshly made. I drove 25 minutes to pick up my bread. The lady at great Harvest was nice and saved me one. Luckily, because they sold out! While there my daughter picked out a muffin, I got a cinnamon roll and found a pizza bread thing. I am pretty cheap on most things so it almost hurt me to pay so much for the bread. Ha. But honestly, it was well worth it! The soda bread was the best soda bread I have ever had and the pizza roll thing is amazing!!! My daughter even ate 3 slices of it. I wasn't a fan on the icing on the cinnamon roll but my husband ate it and said he liked it. I can't wait to go back and get more pizza bread!! So delicious!! read more

Had a delicious Pumpkin White Chocolate Muffin and great brew of Peet's Coffee. Lots of samples, friendly employees, and the smell is heavenly! Can't believe I haven't been in here before. Love that they have soy milk out to put in your coffee. You can also look up the baking schedule on their website to see which breads, muffins, scones, etc. they will have available each day. Excited to have found a new spot to grab coffee and a snack! read more

Great Harvest Bread - Pumpkin White Chocolate Muffin - Bakeries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

See all

The staff member had me with "we grind our own flour". Seriously?? Yes, obviously a place that has high quality control standards! Bread is good, but take a moment and peruse the side shelves, too. The granola...amazingly awesome!!! read more

Big samples, really friendly & kind staff, and delicious bread! The samples are often a quarter slice of thick bread or a quarter of a big cinnamon roll- one of my favorite parts about stopping by since you can try a couple of things before deciding. The cranberry white chocolate cinnamon swirl bread is SO good and a loaf is gone from my house within the day. The ingredient lists are short and totally recognizable. Stopping by Great Harvest is a great experience and always a highlight to my day! read more

My son won some coupons through Wake county library for free giant whole grain cookie and wanted to pick one up for my Birthday. We have never been there so on the coupon it list two locations. One in Raleigh which is the closest to us and one in Cary. When redeeming the coupon they told him and his mom that they didn't take the coupon and only the Cary location would. Bad customer service when two potential new customers are in front of you and you won't take a coupon for your company that has you listed on it for a free cookie. read more

This little tiny awesome place with homemade food gets me! Excellent baked goods with variety of samples, delicious coffee and friendly staff. Try it! read more

We were excited about getting some fresh baked goods before taking my father to the airport to head to Korea. I had reviewed all the bakery's in Raleigh and felt like this would be the best one. Their website said the bakery opens at 6:30am so we got up early and arrived to the bakery at 7am with just enough time to head to the airport after. They had nothing fresh baked yet when they opened. They said they were still in the process of baking. If you publicize that your bakery is open at 6:30am, then you should be ready and prepared for customers to buy fresh baked goods. Otherwise, don't publicize that and change your opening time. So disappointed in this experience. Will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more

Such good bread, rolls, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting at one of the outside tables and having a cinnamon roll and muffin. And the owner, Dee, was so welcoming and friendly. It's about impossible not to leave with a loaf or two of bread! We will return for sure! read more

When I lived in the area, I'd always get my bread from here. Yes, it may technically be a franchise, but it's great bread. Get the honey whole wheat or something healthy. Make toast. Use it to make sandwiches. Go crazy. Also get a lot of cookies (just because). Four star bread but, for the area, five stars. read more

GH is great! Not only do they have great baked goods (my favorites cinnamon bread, cinnamon scones and, on Fridays, freshly baked Challah for Shabbat). But perhaps not as well known, freshly brewed daily Peet's Coffee, among the best and vastly superior to Starbucks! read more

The bread here is always delicious. Well worth the trip and the price. The samples offered are generous and the staff, for the most part, friendly and upbeat. One star lost because it looks so dated and old. The floor and paint are probably the originals from 10+ years ago. It could use some work to bring the interior into this decade. read more

Bread quality is not as good as it was when it first opened while prices have gone up.

This is on our list of stops when we're in North Raleigh. My daughter loves to stop in when I pick her up from school in the afternoon. The employees are so friendly and helpful, and patient with my daughter who loves to pick out her own samples before we buy! It is a nice place to sit and have a cup of coffee and a small treat. A big plus; clean bathrooms! The bread is a little on the pricey side, but it's local and you can pronounce all of the ingredients, and their sandwich bread is really a big, big loaf, so I think it's worth it. read more

My whole family loves Great Harvest! The friendly staff offers all my children generous samples of their bread and always talk with them. We love the healthy ingredients and delicious bread. Everything tastes wonderful. I high,y recommend you try them especially if you are trying to eat healthy. read more

Awesome! Just moved in the area. Missing good bread! Made husband drive me there. No complaint after he tasted the sundried tomato bread!

I love the multigrain multi berry muffins - now I can have a muffin without feeling guilty! I have discovered lots of tasty things from their generous sample program, and I am a big fan of Peet's coffee. The service here is great, and I find the baking schedule online really helpful. read more
