Nice addition to our downtown area. Great coffee, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and good service. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

My wife and I have been coming to this bakery for the last two weeks. The first time we tasted it we loved it. I went back for confirmation. The breakfast sandwich is to die for grape sandwich. The baked goods are awesome as well. There's no Mrs. in there everything works if you know what you're getting and if you don't, they'll make some very good suggestions. As for the Location because I have accessible concerns. I have to keep in mind. There is no public restroom there but other than that it's a great little location to sit down and have some coffee have lunch or breakfast. You can sit right out in the front and catch the breeze. read more

Harvard St Bakery And Cafe - Their flagship breakfast sandwich, the croissant breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Hemet, California

This place is an incredible find in Hemet. We live in Northern California but come to SoCal to visit family often. We discovered HSB because of their GF offerings. I went in the day before Christmas to pick up some gluten free muffins for my girlfriend, but they were out. I picked up some other gf desserts but the muffins are what she likes the most. I asked if they were going to be open the day after Christmas and I would come back. Turns out the owner is planning to take a very well deserved week off, so no luck. But then she aske me for my number and told me that while she makes no promises, she will call me if she happens to make some. Within two hours I got a phone call. Six GF muffins with my name on it! I ran out and we were able to enjoy them while they were still warm. Sooooo good. Not only are the baked goods fantastic, but service like that? Deserves as many stars as are in the sky. Will have to settle for five here, though. ps. The lemon cheesecake (not gf) is phenominal. read more

Harvard St Bakery And Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Hemet, California

We were on our way to Oceanside from Palm Springs and looking for a local place that would offer birthday cakes for my husband's twin siblings. We picked one up, a white cake with raspberry filling and then a miniature chocolate cake along with a couple of carrot cake cupcakes for the birthday. My husband and I got a couple of pastries to try as well on the drive South. The people in the bakery were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere was wonderful. I must say that I don't think I've had a better bear claw pastry and my husband had the sticky bun pastry and both were heavenly. When celebrating the birthdays, everyone thought the cakes were terrific and I must say that the white cake was heavenly as well. We always try to shop local and so glad that we found this place open on our trip. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

Stopped by here for lunch today. I normally order to go but I had the time to sit down and eat. The decor is nice and it wasn't too busy. My food came out quicker than expected which is always nice. The meatball sub and the downtowner are definitely the best thing on the menu, I would recommend requesting the meatballs in the meatball sub be cut in half to make it easier to eat. Additionally it is more expensive than it was a few months ago, but it is well worth the cost. - Mr.Narrwahl read more

Since I had an amazing experience during my first order in the summer, I decided to order here again for a party in the fall. Everything was still good and customer service was awesome. The reason I took off a star is because I ordered almost the same pastries (macaron, creme brûlée and cupcakes) but to my disappointment, they were smaller in size. I don't think i'll be placing a large order from here again. read more

Our wedding cake was gorgeous and scrumptious!.. the perfect recipe for success. Every guest raved about how delicious the cake was. The top tier was white cake with a lemon custard filling and the bottom tier was chocolate with a vanilla custard filling. Both were very moist and melted in your mouth making your mouth watering and wanting more. Finally, the vision was that of the bakery. I did not have a vision of what I wanted it to look like - only expressed my want for my wedding colors to be on the cake. I was in awe when I first saw how beautiful and vibrant my cake turned out. Highly recommend Harvard St Bakery for all your special occasions! read more

Went in completely last minute looking for a carrot cake for my mom's birthday. I'm talking about the day before her birthday, less than 24 hours. They didn't have any but they offered to make me one. She was so nice and accommodating! It was the most beautiful carrot cake I have ever seen!! Delicious too! It's a cozy, bakery in downtown Hemet that I had no idea existed until I got on yelp. Will definitely continue supporting this bakery. Also, when I went to go pick up the cake, I ended up buying a brownie as well for the trip to my mom's house and it was SO good! read more

I was in search for a Swedish Princess Cake for my wife's Birthday. After finding that Harvard Bakery made Princess cupcakes, I called to inquire about making a cake instead. They were very accommodating and agreed to do so. The cake was the best we've had in 38 years. I can't thank Laura enough for making my wife's birthday so special. read more

Been here several times and have never been disappointed. Napoleon, Toffee & Choc Chip scone, Princess cupcake, German chocolate cake, and macarons. It has all been delicious. Had custom orders of lavender scones and lavender shortbread cookies done. All amazing. Ordered a full size German Chocolate Cake and a Victorian Buttercream. Just superb. Ordered for holidays a Yule log and Christmas decorated shortbread cookies. Mouthwatering. Today had an Ortega sandwich. What a delight. Paired the sandwich with Sugar-Free Chocolate cake. I had the most amazing SF Coconut Cake on Princess Cruises. As a diabetic this past year up till now that coconut cake on Princess was the best, until today. That SF Chocolate cake was the best thing ever. It was so moist, so flavorful. No bitter after taste from sweetener. I took a business card and will be in next week for another sugar free treat. I love baked goods and am so impressed with this bakery. The owner Laura is kind and so great with customers. She remembers me. As I was eating inside I heard her have conversations with 2 other incoming customers she recognized and remembered. What service. We are lucky to have a business like this in our community. read more

I'm fairly certain they make little to none of their own pastries. If I want a muffin from a grocery store I will just go the grocery store and buy it and not be overcharged. Will never go back. read more

Harvard St Bakery And Cafe - Really like the graduate hats - Bakeries Near Me - Hemet, California

My MIL really loves Harvard St Bakery treats and since it was her birthday we had driven up from San Diego and of course we had to get her a couple of birthday treats. She really loves their chocolate covered cheesecake slice so we had to get her a slice and one for my husband too, then we 2 chocolate chip cookies, 2 chocolate chip with nuts cookies, a cheese danish, 3 raspberry jelly donuts, a red velvet cupcake and a 4 pistachio French macarons. The treats here are really affordable, I think we everything our total was $25, here in San Diego they would be twice as much if not more. My raspberry cheese danish was nice, the pasty was flaky and the glaze was perfectly sweetened, I really liked the cookies, they were nice and crispy and i liked the red velvet cupcake too. My husbands fave were the filled donuts and his chocolate covered slice cheesecake, just like his mom. Next time we're visiting we'll have to come by again. Thank you for friendly staff and cozy bakery. read more

My wife and I made our annual trip to Hemet for our grandchild's field day against other church schools. We were set that we weren't going to Subway or a similar chain sandwich shop. I YELPED the area and this delightful bakery showed up. Quaintly decorated with old photos, trinkets and local artists. We ordered both breakfast sweets and coffee as well as sandwiches for lunch. The breakfast sweets didn't disappoint. Apple and cheese danish were irresistible. So many items to choose from, gluttony almost made me hangry. I was concerned the sandwiches might suffer in the car until lunch but it wasn't a problem. Roast beef, ortega sandwich with a scoop of potato salad, turkey and provolone on fresh baked croissant. They were nicely boxed and tucked neatly in our bag. They were the envy of all the bleacher food. Next year I hope to find you in the same spot producing the magic I saw in your case.
