Still loving the Great Harvest breads. There is nothing else like them. Dense, intense yeasty smell and taste unlike anything else. Don't forget to take your bread card. I have actually now been able to redeem two of them. Latest Great Harvest fan is now Buddy the dog. I left the loaf within his reach for too long while unloading the car. He tore into the Dakota bag and had consumed parts of three slices before getting caught. Now, whenever he sees or smells that bread, he acts like it's salmon. Yes. It's that good. They have other items worth checking out in the store. Buddy recommends them as well. (He has tried a few soups.) read more

Great Harvest is one of my favorite sandwich spots for lunch. Options are simple but the bread is so fresh! I like getting my sandwich on the honey wheat bread.

such a great place ! we love the Dakota bread and had lunch there today. we will keep going back! thanks !

They made great baked goods, we used them for gift baskets and were beautiful and professionally done! We were very happy. My only suggestion is some of their breads seem slightly underbaked, not sure if you're supposed to heat them at home but we got a cinnamon bread and it was partly raw. read more

It won't take long for this friendly team to know your name. They work hard to make every customer feel like an old friend, and now many customers ARE old friends.

BEST BREAD & GOODIES IN THE AREA. If only we could get a great Harvest Store in Freeport. We Stock Up when we go to Rockford, as it freezes well. Staff is Always Friendly. Don't pass this gem up. It will Definitely be YOUR LOSS. 12 read more

Good tasting products. How about agreeing to discontinue using high fructose corn syrup? Please do all you can to make your bread more healthful. Thanks. read more

I've always appreciated Great Harvest although they have high prices and they don't have medium-sized round sourdough loaves.

Simply the best! Love the apple crumble bread and the pumpkin chocolate chip bread!:)

Wow! I can't believe I haven't been in sooner! Seriously! -The options of bread are to die for. -They gave us HUGE taste test pieces. They had a big glass covered area on counter where they take pieces of bread to taste. -Extremely friendly staff! -They have other options available besides loafs of bread. -They offer customized sandwiches. -Great prices -Fill up a card of 10-12 purchases & get a loaf or sandwich free. As we were tasting, mingling with another customer, & enjoying our experience, one of the ladies screams half off on bread. Only reason why I didn't take advantage is because hello calories ;) Bread is extremely soft and delicious. The lady suggested french toast with the apple crisp. I also made a grilled cheese sandwich out the 3 cheese bread, it cooked amazing with ghee butter. Had a perfect crunch while still being soft on the inside. read more

I live in New York City and I just love coming here when I come to Rockford for work. The bread is delicious and fresh and when you walk in - there is a plethora of varieties to try - and the staff is very generous with the samples! They also make sandwiches for lunch and you can customize you sandwich based on different meats and cheeses to really play off the bread of your choice. For example, the garlic cheese bread goes great with shaved ham as the cheese is swirled through the bread making a more flavorful sandwich than ham and cheese on white bread. The pumpkin bread is sweet and delicious for breakfast. The cookies are really amazing here too! read more

The bread is delicious but when you go there in the morning you expect that they will have bread. My mom went there this morning and they only had one kind ready. All they sell is bread.... it's a bread place, why aren't they prepared and have at least a few of each breads in the morning. Unfortunately this lost them a customer. read more

Very disgusted. Wanted to prepay for bread and pick up the next day since I am out of town. Nope will not do it. Not customer friendly. Will never go there gain. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about this bakery. They give you samples of the flavor of the day. Not a tiny one either, a full size slice! Delicious bread, cookies and friendly staff. One gal in particular was a joy. Connie, you have the most friendly and humorous personality. You made my day!! Thank you! read more

I love Great Harvest! They have the best bread in town and make the most wonderful sandwiches. The owners Barb and Steve are great people and their business is an asset to the community. The employees have the terrific people skills and I can't say enough good things about Connie. I always leave the store uplifted and with the best goodies around! read more

Don't go later in the day!! As someone from Des Moines, I was hoping to find a bakery here in Rockford. I went to Harvest Bakery after coworkers had raved about it. I walked in about 2 hours prior to their closing time on a Friday, hoping to get a loaf of bread for the weekend. After looking at their daily menu, I inquired about a particular loaf and was met with "we're out." I asked about another flavor and, again, "we're out." After 2 more times of this I asked what they DID HAVE. Given those options, I asked to sample a piece of a particular loaf, as the worker said they give free samples to try. I was met with "we don't have any samples of that particular kind." This happened one more time before I told them to forget about it! To top things off, my 4 year old daughter was doing the potty dance, I asked if they had a restroom we could quickly use and they directed me to the Subway next door. Will never go back! read more

This a cute little bread shop that has tons and tons and tons of variety! It looks like a mom and pop shop that enjoys making relationships with the customers. They have breads like Irish soda bread, brownie bread, cinnamon bread, and even pumpkin bread!!!! There are tons of samples so you know what you are buying from the get go! The breads are dense and heavy so be aware. Make sure to ask about the breads if you are particular! read more

OMG. Smells so good as soon as you walk in the door. The Honey Whole Wheat bread really caught my attention with only a few simple ingredients, plus it's delicious. I tried a piece pumpkin chocolate bread today and wow! Everything I have had has been scrumptious. read more

LOVE everything about this place... Personally, I am addicted to the scones (a weekly reward to myself each Friday). Barb and Steve (owners) are wonderful... always greeting customers with a smile and a slice of bread. Friendly staff who take the time to get to know their customers and great food - what more could you ask for :) read more

A neighborhood staple! Anytime I bring a loaf of cinnamon swirl, apple crumble, or pumpkin chocolate chip to a get together- I get so many compliments. My co-workers in Chicago beg that I bring bread on Monday after visiting Rockford on the weekends. Call ahead to ensure you get the bread you need or come in early to try a slice! Love this place. read more

Hello, heavenly bakery! I would go here just to soak in the smells. I was hunting for a bakery and a caterer recommended this. Their bread is not cheap ($5-7/loaf), but you are paying for the quality of their finest ingredients. You can taste that they use whole grains, good butter, and the best cinnamon. We love the cinnamon swirl. They feature different breads throughout the week. Their Dakota bread makes your sandwich. Shoot! Forget the sandwich ingredients and just eat bread. We LOVE this place! Great coffee too from an independent local coffee roaster. Yay! read more

Every imaginable flavor of bread. They all taste fantastic! Addictive really-free samples too-nice chunks of fresh bread. This weekend I had pumpkin chocolate chip and apple bread. read more
