I don't do well with yeasty bread type food. Meaning my body does not love me for eating it as much as my mind/tastebuds do and I swell up for a week. That said, when I just have to cheat and have some great bread, this is the place for it. I always tend to go for the sweet breads like the Blueberry Cheesecake bread, the Cinnamon Chip or Cinnamon Swirl bread (GREAT FRENCH TOAST!!!), Cherry, or Apple Pecan bread. Each could be eaten plain but are taken over the top when you toast them with some honey or some other spread. I wish I could learn how to make the breads. Wait, scratch that. No I don't.
Their cinnamon "scuffins" (if scones and muffins mated) are excellent and hubby likes the cinnamon rolls (not my fave). Even their snickerdoodle cookies or plain honey wheat loaves are good. They have a Florentine kind of loaf that is perfect for holiday/italian meals. Well it's a crowd pleaser but sometimes gets you in trouble w/ the Italian Mother In Law because it's more popular than what was previously served. Consider yourself warned.
Great Harvest gets brownie points for supporting the race community and providing post-race samples :) Yay!
The only reason I don't give this place a 5 star rating is that seemingly every time we have a craving to go, it's Sunday morning, when they're closed. Dang! Also I would love for them to offer some sort of breakfast sandwich with eggs in it and a place to sit down. Other than that, nothing but love.
