| - I've enjoyed Great Harvest in Cornelius a hand full of times... and I just love it.
I live in the small town of Cornelius. On the semi-yuppy side of town where we like to have our cake and eat it too: a decent quick (ish) order restaurant, must have good food, walk-able, nice people, options to sit and chill, open all dang day long, friendly staff with a few tattoos and piercings that tell story... Yup, we're not picky here at all. Did I mention the stuff has gotta be fresh?
I am usually the type of person that walks into any restaurant (esp, If I have been there a few times) and I know exactly what I want to order. It isn't because I am not adventurous in my meal options... I just go there because of what I know is amazing on the menu. Great Harvest has so many beautiful options that I often struggle to find what I want. On the days that I eat meat, I eat the Spicy Apple Grilled Cheese. Anytime food can make me feel like the man-child that I am but still look like a respectable adult while eating it, I am all for it. You get to pick from whatever breads they bake that week. They change daily so don't fall in love with just one. However, they are all delicious. My favorite is when they have the sun dried tomato bread available.
Being new to this whole plant-based diet thing, it is always amazing when a restaurant that I frequent already has decent options... not just an option but optionS! And thank you Great Harvest. The Veggie Three Seed Hummus Sandwich is my current food situation at this establishment. I love hummus. It like like a crazy vegan's ranch IMHO... it goes on everything for me just about. So a sammy dedicated to it? Heck yes, wodie. With hummus, the texture is EVERYTHING to me. And Great Harvest slays in all the right ways. I had to be a little extra and slap some avocado on it this time because it is 2018 and whats and you can't have enough avocados in your life.
From the outside, this is a hipsters dream come true as it is located in a beautiful old brick bungalow. The inside has minimal seating but I don't usually stay and sit so this really isn't a concern for me. It is walk-up order style and pretty quick for the most part... not subway quick but they do a great job for making sure your order is as fresh as it can be. If it is traditional breakfast or lunch time, the line will be long... so plan for that and just accept the fact that it is part of the experience. And enjoy.
