On a recent trip back to my old hometown, I was surprised at how thin the choices had become for decent breakfast food in the downtown area. The old, funky places that were still around in the '90s and '00s are gone, and mostly there's quick food for drunk frat boys on Mass Ave, though a few places still try to aim higher. I have gone to Great Harvest several times over the last several years, and though townies love it, I've encountered the same problems every time. The folks at Great Harvest have a strong streak of the hipster-snob 'tude that has infected Lawrencian retailers over the last couple of decades. Specifically, Golden Harvest has a mildly confusing counterspace where you order at one end, pay at the other, and are (literally) looked down on by the staff, as they talk to you from behind a thick counter that's elevated by a four-inch (or so) riser. It's not very welcoming, and every time I've gone there, I've gotten a teeny dose of good, old-fashioned Midwestern 'tude as I navigate the process. The last time I went there, in August, 2013, I tried to order a veggie omelet, but was told I couldn't get it without green peppers added in. (Really? Why not? I wasn't asking for a substitution, just don't put in an ingredient I don't like... WTF??) The guy then suggested that I order the special bacon scramble without the bacon (which apparently they CAN take out) if I didn't want meat. I told him that the meat wasn't a problem, I just don't like green peppers. Eventually I ordered the scramble, although perversely, they still wouldn't take the peppers out, and I just picked around the parts I didn't want. It was okay, but not really very good -- notably the hash browns were flavorless and dry -- about the same bland quality as the restaurant at the Eldridge Hotel, but without the fancy decor. While I was at GH, I felt rushed by the staff, who removed my plate before I was ready to leave, and overall I didn't enjoy the visit, and didn't return. I tried Milton's next and thought their food was excellent, and the service was very professional. Global Cafe fell halfway between the two: great food and a tiny bit of 'tude. I plan to return to both of these places, but would have to think twice before returning to Great Harvest. It's an establishment I would *like to support, but I never really enjoy eating there.

One of the VERY best things about Lawrence! I have been to several other Great Harvest bakeries, but none compare to the Lawrence location for delicious fare and friendly folk. (some give tiny little samples even!) Great Harvest always has something I love, even if my favorites are not in stock. I have never had a bread, bar or cookie which has not been 5***** or more! You can never go wrong with the Cinnamon Chip or the Cherry Walnut. I even love the Date Bar, and I cannot stand dates! The very generous samples are an example of the generosity and kindness of the owner and staff. Many many times I have been at GH and seen children dripping from the swimming pool enjoying their samples : no purchase necessary. They really support the community in a variety of ways, including preschool visitors. When I am in town, my grandchildren always chime in when I ask if we should make a bread stop. They know I mean Great Harvest, it is my ONLY bread stop in Lawrence! (Jose, I think you were at the bakery down the street, not this one)

Great store! Love the bread. It's so tasty. The cinnamon twisters are great and only $1.50. Love baker Bob

I had seen Great Harvest while driving up Vermont, but being a regular at Wheatfield's (less than two blocks away), I had not bothered to stop in. My wife and I had to park across the street from Great Harvest during a recent visit to Massachusetts Street for some shopping, so we decided to go in. As we entered, the aroma of freshly baked bread and pies consumed me as the baker and ovens are directly behind the counter and he was removing piping-hot pie from the oven. Flavors vary by season. Unlike Wheatfield's, bread is self-service in plastic wrap on shelving next to the counter. There were samples of five different breads and a bowl full of butter next to the register and when I inquired about the offerings, the young lady sliced a piece of multigrain bread as wide and thick as the palm of my hand. The bread was moist and crunchy with chunks of wholegrain throughout, the crust being a bit too soft for my taste, but delicious nonetheless. At nearly $6 a loaf, the bread is more than I have ever paid for a loaf and $1-$2 more than their competitor down the street. The pies were gorgeous, a plump golden brown, but at $16 a pop, a bit pricey for my taste. Their products are obviously high in quality and flavor, so the only thing limiting my rating to four stars and not five was the prices. The service was excellent, the bread delicious, the prices a bit high ... CombatCritic Gives Great Harvest Bread Company 7 Out of 10 Bombs ... BOMBS ARE GOOD!

Oh dear. I'm going to be that person who gives a 5-star business a lower review... Look, I'm not claiming that Great Harvest is bad by any means - 3 stars isn't bad, it's just average, which is exactly what I found this bakery to be. The bread here is not what I would call BREAD; it clearly hasn't gone through a pre-ferment process but it hardly tastes fermented at all. What this means in terms of taste is a bland, too-soft, starchy loaf that lacks depth and is reliant solely on toppings and mix-ins for flavor. This is why I can't consider it BREAD - I could never eat this stuff alone with a spread of butter. The potato chive loaf I got was fine with my kale soup. I can see myself using the cinnamon raisin in French toast. The wheat looks like it'd make a good PB&J. At $8 for a full loaf, though, I don't want bread that serves as a cursory side to my dinner. I want a crusty artisan loaf of BREAD, crackly and aromatic and complex; I want it to shine on its own. I realize that I may be unusual in that I could actually probably live on BREAD and water. Nonetheless, even for those who are less enthusiastic I think you should have an idea of what you're getting into before you come to Great Harvest: expect overpriced, mediocre bread served in a cute and cozy shop. (And if you happen to be a BREAD enthusiast like me, I'd recommend heading down the street to Wheatfields).

The lure of Great Harvest Bread Co strikes again! I had previously thought that I kicked my addiction, but I couldn't resist after driving past this place day after day... It started with just wanting some hearty spinach feta bread. It progressed to stepping through the doors... my pupils dilated, I couldn't stop sniffing, I tried so many delicious samples, and caved and bought a massive loaf which I ate a hunk of on my way home. Yup, I'm back, Great Harvest. You're always there when I need my carb fix, aren't you?

I love this place!!! I stop by every time I travel in the Lawrence area. My husband says I have an addiction :). My three favorite breads are spinach feta, whole grain goodness and cinnamon chip! I love that they give you a large free slice when you come in! The customer service is good--always friendly and helpful. GH is a gem!

Love the Challah bread! My family almost ate the entire loaf in one day. The staff that I have encountered are friendly and helpful. Don't leave without getting a giant sample slice of hot bread slathered in butter. Yummy

When I romanticize living in Lawrence and how badly I look forward to someday moving back and settling down, this is one of the places I think about. I used to come here every Wednesday just to buy a loaf of Kansas Crunch bread (do they even still make it?) and my absolute favorite part was that they'd give you a free slice to jam on while you waited. My mouth is literally watering right now thinking about their warm bread with honey on it. As a college kid I was pretty broke most of the time (that's normal right?). Before I learned about how eating bread exclusively was probably not the best for your pancreas, I once went about a solid month eating nothing but Great Harvest bread. It's been about a decade ago so I doubt they remember me but in case you do, hey guys, i'm that guy, and I appreciate you fueling me through my sophomore year. They make really great homemade breads that taste like something you'd make at home, if you had the skills and expertise they have, obviously. I always preferred it to store-bought types for a number of reasons, but the heartiness of their bread was the number one reason. It's thick, it's dense in the best way possible, and it's so good I usually just eat it by itself so I can really take in all the flavors. If they still make it, try a warm slice of Kansas Crunch, it's part of my memory of that beautiful little town.

YUM. I love everything I have ever had, and they give generous samples.

My mother loves this place. She doesn't have too many vices and rarely eats out and doesn't often spend money on herself but if she hears one of us kids are heading to Lawrence we are undoubtedly begged to make a stop here for her. (Apparently they are opening one in Topeka soon and she is very excited about it.) This place is like a drug to her. She loves it. And purchases obscene amounts of it and stockpiles it in her freezer. I think she is their biggest fan. Now, I can't deny the bread is outstanding, but the prices leave me a little cold. I just can't shell out $7-10 a loaf for bread. I just can't. Maybe I'm cheap. Maybe I just don't have the addiction.... They're local, and they produce a quality product so do, at least once, check them out. You'll find them friendly and willing to offer up samples of their fresh baked products. Maybe you too, will become obsessed!

Yum! Yummy! Yum Yum Yum! I love this place! There is nothing better than walking into a store front piled ceiling high with fresh backed bread. Well... There is one thing better and that is their spinach feta bread! I get this bread every time I go in. It's dense, chewy and a feta and spinach flavor EXPLOSION. The perfect thing for a carb binge on a winter day! I'll be back again and again and again!

Great Harvest Bread Company is an extensive chain of bakeries that exist all over the country, so it's not unique to Lawrence but it's probably the best bakery in town. Nothing about being part of a chain means reduced quality; in fact, it's the opposite. This location maintains the high standards and quality that I've found at every other Great Harvest Bread Co. I've tried. The loaves of bread are soft, substantial, and delicious. The wheat rolls are fantastic. The cookies are big, soft, and tasty as well. The cinnamon burst loaf tastes amazing with some butter on it and makes your kitchen smell wonderful. I could go on about what is good here, but it becomes redundant -- everything here is worth trying at least once, and you'll want more after that. The prices aren't unreasonable for a bakery, and though you pay a little more for a loaf of bread, it's all absolutely worth it. You even get a small (or not so small) sample each time you go for free, so you'll always feel taken care of. There are a few bakeries in Lawrence, and they're all successful to different degrees and are good at different things, but Great Harvest Bread Co never fails to please and is my favorite destination for bread, rolls, and treats. Rating: 5 stars.

I love soft bread. That's what you'll find here. If you prefer a more crusty, European-style loaf (which I do on occasion), head down the street to Wheatfields. This stuff is comfort food, and I am addicted to the cheddar garlic and cinnamon chip loaves. I live alone, so I buy the smaller ones. If they run out, they will half a regular-sized loaf for you. In my opinion, the smaller ones taste better. They always have free samples, and these aren't your typical samples. A whole roll or a slice the size of your face...that's what I'm talkin about. They also offer a frequent buyer card. Heck yes.

Great Harvest is the best bakery in Lawrence. (Hands down better than Wheatfields!) The owners and staff are always friendly and welcoming. The bread is moist, flavorful and fresh. The half loaves are perfect for me and my husband. Plus, we can get multiple flavors and not have too much bread. If you are in the need of bread, go to Great Harvest Bread Company!
