I've ordered breakfast sandwiches three times, each time they've been wrong. I'm allergic to eggs, and they've always ended up with egg on them, despite my pleas and warnings. This last time, I finally got sick of giving away my breakfast and called to ask if I could have a replacement sandwich at some point this week. After waiting 17 minutes for a sandwich each time, I also decided to call ahead to order. I went in the pick up the sandwich, and it was fine- had no egg. WHOOHOO! I also decided to purchase a marionberry crumble bar. The guy ringing me up snarkily said, "yeah- egg in small quantities, right?" 1- he doesn't know if that marionberry thing was for me. 2- egg heated over 350 is not nearly as bad as scrambled fresh. 3- the percentage of egg in a crumble compared to TWO scrambled on a sandwich is very different. So- their Dakota bread is good, but I can get that elsewhere. The sandwiches take FOREVER to make. Even the lunch sandwiches. Seriously. What the heck are they DOING back there? Any time I've wanted a sandwich and there's more than one person waiting in the shop, I will walk back out. Being the ONLY person getting a breakfast sandwich, and wondering why it takes 17 minutes each time, leaves a very bad impression. On top of that, to have my repeated order for no egg to be ignored, then a rude response is unacceptable. Go anywhere else.

The monkey bread is always a nice treat to split with a couple friends and it's usually still warm in the middle because they're so fresh. Great place to pop in for a quick snack!

I believe that whole grains are our future Eat them daily and let them clear the way Kneading all the nutrients they possess inside Give them time to rise, to make it easier Let the loaves fiber, remind us how we used to eat Everybody's searching for a guru People need someone to tell them what to eat I never found anyone who could preach to me A rural place to be And so I learned to eat responsibly I decided long ago, never to fall for marketing wizardry If I'm fat, if I'm skinny at least I know what is healthy No matter what they take from me They can't take away my sympathy Because the Greatest Harvest of all, is happening to me I found the Greatest Harvest of all, at the bakery The Greatest Harvest of all is easy to achieve Nourishing those in need, it is the Greatest Harvest of all And if by chance, your fellow man Needs a helping hand Great Harvest puts bread on their plates Nothing goes to waste Whitney Houston almost had it all

I've been several times, mainly because of the lack of good lunch spots around SW waterfront area. The sandwiches are bland but on good bread. It's a last resort place to go. The cookies aren't even close to worth the calories. I got a dozen this morning, 6 different flavors. The people in the meeting I bought them for (males who have never been picky or discriminating) didn't like a single one of the cookies. They were literally 0 for 12 in a crowd that's never turned down a cookie. I'd suggest anywhere else, especially at $19.50 a dozen.
(2)Jen E.
I have never eaten the sandwiches or the cookies, I come for the bread. I choose different types and am almost never disappointed.... when I am disappointed it is my personal taste nothing wrong with the bread itself. Yes the staff can be a bit abrupt..... but they deal with crappy people all day and eventually that will get to you no matter how far up your ass you have Pollyanna shoved lol. Most of the time though I get great people who want to help you out. I will one day try the rest of their food but for now I am very content with the bread.
(3)Rebecca C.
For what it is, it's excellent. What it is, is a bakery. NOT a deli. I have been suckered into buying a sandwich and soup there twice and I was not impressed. Except with the bread. AMAZING bread and sweets though. I love to walk through and grab a slice of bread and some butter and just have at it. Although I try not to do that too often as gaining 10lbs is not my idea of a good time. But their lemon bars and chocolate cookies, scones and cinnamon chip bread are all the things that make life grand. I love even just walking by and taking a big whiff. Nothing says happy like carbs and sugar.
(4)Renate N.
Excellent latte 3 days in a row. Much better option than SB when going to World Trade Center for a mtg. Friendly staff. ..I ordered and then realized I forgot my $ and had to run back to my hotel for it and when I got back he had my latte ready. Next day he remembered my drink order!
(5)Jenifer M.
Baked goods are so-so. Orders are frequently incorrect and come out slow. This place is right by my office and I would love to go more often but the service is just too poor.
(2)Angeli L.
Beautiful breads and baked goods. I love seeing the racks and ovens in the background - a "real" bakery! The specialty breads are delicious - they let you sample the breads of the day. The only thing that I was sad about: the chalkboard sign out front said they had "apple crunch bread" - does that not sound absolutely delectable?! The guy inside said he wasn't sure why the sign said that...that it was not a bread-of-the-day. Oh, well - I got the whole wheat walnut-raisin-cinnamon loaf. A little dense, but okay when toasted.
(4)Greg B.
Sandwiches are decent. But the counter staff seems like they are angry about you wanting to eat said sandwiches.
(1)Al L.
My wife gets so happy everytime we come here. There's nothing on the menu that she does not love. Especially when the weather's slightly cold it really warms her heart. We have yet to try and drinks, but all the baked goods are amazing. The breads and pastries always delight us. The staff is very patient and friendly.
(5)Janelle G.
Good sandwiches, delicious smelling and tasty bread( with a ton of options) and baked sweet treats to meet any wants, allergies, or picky eaters
(4)Zuzana K.
I walk by almost every day and I have to hold myself not to go in and buy the whole damn store because: 1) I would be broke fast 2) I would not be walking anymore - I would be rolling... On the days when I do allow myself to step in I enjoy the chocolate bliss cookies, the energy bars and/or their yummy cappuccinos. P.S. They always have freshly baked bread to sample along with good-old butter to spread on. Walking down the street eating buttered piece of bread is kind of embarrassing, but it is too good to care:)
(4)Kerri L.
Blackberry oatmeal muffins made here are to die for. I've eaten them for years and still love them. And, yes, the other bakery items are outstanding. I should also mention the chocolate chip cookies are to die for as well. Great Harvest has been in this spot for a good 20 years or more, and I wish them many happy baking years ahead!
(4)Amber F.
We were pulled in from the street by the cintilating smell of fresh baked bread. The Cinammon Chip Bread we took home was fantastic!
(5)Olivia T.
Great Harvest gave me my new addiction in life. Nope, it's not bread..not sammiches...not cookies...are you ready to find out what it is....Olivia T's new addiction is....*drum roll please*.... S-C-O-N-E-S Great Harvest makes the best scones ever...my favorites are berries scones (blueberry, marionberry, crackberry...etc). They are just scrumptious delicious and in my head I pretend that they are healthier than muffins. I try to resist this awful temptation, but I don't know if I could. The only way that I know how is by not walking past this awfully good place. So far it works, but I don't know for how long.
(5)JW R.
Leaving without being served = one star. They don't serve sandwiches after 3. Was I too close to closing time? I dunno, it was scraped off the window. The chick behind the counter was very nice when she told me the store didn't want my money. But that's not worth a star.
(1)Gina H.
Tasty scone + good coffee for $3.25. Why not? Also, good service.
(3)Vi N.
Service is not great. They seemed very put out by making a sandwich. the clackmas group is much nicer and actually seems to appreciate their customers!
(2)Brian D.
I am reviewing this only for the marionberry scone I ate here on a cloudy Saturday morning. It was excellent. Some scones tend to be a bit dry, others too buttery, still others too sweet. This one struck a good balance, a bit sweet and a bit savory, and a good number of marionberries to break up the action. I would eat it again.
(4)Amber K.
$7.25 for an extremely plain turkey sandwich. I have better bread and lunch meat in my refridgerator. The orange the sandwich came with was much better.
(1)Jauna W.
Great Harvest is a franchised company that, as far as I understand, sell the same products, but aren't expected to run the same way. I'd like to see the owner and employees to trek out to the Great Harvest location in Clackamas to see the little things those folks do to improve the experience of their customers. The Clackamas location employees ALL have lots of smiles, are quick to say hello, are eager to provide lots of samples for their customers to try, and get started on your sandwich order well before you get to the register to pay. Comparatively the downtown location is okay. I rarely get greeted with a hello let alone a smile. There is little to no sense of urgency in getting their orders done in a timely matter, particularly for breakfast. They're stingy with sides and offer a choice of pickle or carrots that come with your order, which means you get half a pickle spear or 5 baby carrots (really???). They rarely have samples out to try. When looking at the pricing between the two stores (comparable) vs. the service, product, and experience it's an easy choice for me to make which store I'll be going to. It's just a few little things, but it's amazing the difference in experience. On a positive note, the scones here are way better when compared to the scones at Clackamas (they always add white chocolate chips making them way too sweet!).
(2)Heidi H.
I am in Portland on business and stopped by here for breakfast on my way to work (7:15 a.m). I ordered a turkey-sausage sandwich on their basil-Parmesan bread. I added tomato to the sandwich and asked for their pesto mayo. The sandwich was beyond delicious. I have been to a lot of places where the sandwich isn't grilled enough to heat everything inside it, but this sandwich came out well toasted and hot. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because the sandwich was a little slow to come out, thankfully I wasn't in a hurry.

I stopped into the place after eating a delicious bowl of pho at Luc Luc across the street. I wanted to try the gluten free cookies, but they were sold out of the day. So I opted for the cinnamon cup (small cinnamon roll) to avoid completing spending my "gluten budget" for the week (I'm not allergic to gluten, so I do allow myself a bit of gluten each week). I must say that I was disappointed in the cinnamon cup. The bakery smelled so good and the large cinnamon rolls looked really good and gooey. Unfortunately, the cinnamon cup was dry and needed more butter in my opinion. It might be appetizing for folks who like the outer rim of the cinnamon roll -- less butter/sugar combo--but I'm a middle roll kinda girl. Even though the cup wasn't good, I may give this place another shot. I am still on the hunt for good gluten free cookies, and their regular butterscotch cookie was pretty good.

We all know that bread is not that great for you. Super tasty, but not the most nutritious for you. Whole grains bump up the nutrition such that I don't feel guilty indulging once in a while. And when I indulge, I want good fresh bread with a hearty crust and baked that morning. I would bake it myself, but I have a thing called a "job" that takes up most of my day, but which allows me to afford expensive loaves of bread rather than grocery store crap. I came in late on a Saturday afternoon, looking for fresh 100% whole wheat bread. GHB had one loaf of the honey whole wheat left. Unfortunately it was pre-sliced. Yuck. Why would anyone spend money on stale bread? I have a knife at home I can use to cut bread. And as I was paying, I asked if it was fresh. The counter guy said it was baked the day before. What? Who tries to pass off day old bread as fresh for full price? That is against the first rule of bakeries. They gave me some line about how making bread is not easy. No duh, that's why I'm willing to pay $$$ per loaf. I was completely outraged. Great Harvest Bread is not a proper bakery, despite their pretense. Stuck with a day old loaf of bread that I was not about to waste calories on, I tried to find a street person in SW Portland to give my day-old, which is what proper bakeries do with their day-old bread. Unfortunately, this was one of the coldest days of the year, and there were no street people to be seen. Where are they in SW Portland when you actually want to give something to one? Strange. Anyway, I will no longer spend my hard earned money on their "bread products." I'd much rather go without. Maybe someday GHB will no longer try to pass off their day old bread to unsuspecting customers, but I will not hold my breath.
(1)Colin W.
Super fresh bread made right before your eyes and stumptown coffee. Really friendly folks with great service.

After 3 exhausting days in Portland, I had a great trip to the Japanese Garden, then hit this little shop on my way back toward the airport. Since I had been so constantly busy, this was my only true meal while in P-Land, and it was very welcome. The girl who worked the counter was actually sort of nice, which had shocked me because so many that I had met in the entirety of my trip had been really rude. Much like the guy who made my sandwich. Very rude and he kept making snippy comments when I was having difficulty ordering due to extreme exhaustion. I got the curry chicken salad which was rather good. Their bread options at the time of my visit were surprisingly small, but the sandwich was nice and I liked the crunch. She forgot to offer me a slice of bread, though it seemed she was giving them to everyone else, until I was kinda staring at the free bread. I also got the creamy chicken and rice soup, which was unremarkable and tasted kinda like it wasn't made from scratch. The roll and butter I also got was REALLY good. But, hands down, the best thing I ate was the Raspberry Wasabi Mustard! THAT made the whole experience great and the only reason the place got 3 stars instead of 2. The price wasn't spectacular, but it was what I expected from that part of the city. The only thing I can say is that it would seem that so many service staff in Portland seemed to really be rude - especially when I said I was from California - there is no reason for that kind of attitude with any paying customer. Thankfully, the food pepped me up so I could go home.

I will never go back to calling a sangwich a sandwich after watching the last season of the Jersey Shore. What? Everyone has their vices, mine happen to be trashy television and Pendleton whiskey served on the rocks. This review is not about Pauly D. from Jersey shore or the fact that he can't say the word sandwich and instead yells out sangwich, which I find particularly amusing. So amusing that if you happen to be sitting in my home at any given moment, chances are you will hear one of my family members holler "BEATCH WHERE'S MY SANGWICH?!" at random. Now that I have given you the rundown on sangwiches, let me tell you about a spot on the corner that I like to frequent. It's a carb extravaganza, a bakery that delivers fresh baked loaves of glorious bread, sinfully delicious oatmeal cookies, fresh soups made daily and, you guessed it! SANGWICHES! At great harvest you can build a perfect sangwich by telling them how you like it on their clipboards. The sangwiches come with your choice of pickle or carrot sticks and usually the half is big enough to stuff you full of deliciousness. My favorite is the veggie with hummus on wheat. The staff is always friendly and they let you try their bread while you wait. Who doesn't like a free sample as a preview to a delicious sangwich? Also available is ready made pizza dough, various types of bread and cinnamon rolls. If I could hang out at Great Harvest all day, I would just for the smell of fresh baked bread. For now, I will keep going back for their tasty sangwiches.
(4)Sara N.
I love walking in and taking in all the different aromas! The bread is fresh and the people are friendly. They make ordering very easy and simple with little clipboards indicating the different items they serve. I tried this spinach and feta bread today and all I can say was yummy!
(5)Bjorn L.
Good Reubens on Fridays. I agree they could be a little bigger, though.
(4)Todd P.
The honey wheat bread is great. The vegetarian chili is great. The cookies are great. The sandwiches are just a tad undersized, though.
(4)Britney S.
I love the feel of this bakery. It's small but quaint. It's good for grabbing a meal if you're on the go, a little small and may get crowded if there are a lot of people. The staff is friendly and helpful with ingredient questions. Seating is really just inside but only for 4-5 people at a time. It seems they only have one cashier at a time while a there is someone on the sandwich line and another person doing inventory? But a backer would be beneficial to the work flow I think. Tried the vegetable garden medley. It was very good and not terribly hot. The cashier checked for me to make sure it's vegan (that and the rice and bean soup was as well.) A little disappointed that the spicy vegetarian chili couldn't be determined, but appreciated her checking. It would be helpful for then to provide a (V) indicator for vegans as well. I really loved their chai tea latte (soy of course.) Beats Starbucks and Pete's chai tea latte hands down. Just the right amount of sweet, slightly spicy, and just oh so good. Overall, a good experience and a nice, cozy atmosphere.
(4)Becky L.
This was my first time actually buying anything from here. I always go in here to take advantage of their free slice of bread. I took a go at a heavily seeded one (don't remember the name) and it was too much wheat and too many seeds for me to enjoy. If it's your first visit ordering a sandwich, it's honestly a bit confusing. I didn't realize that you need to fill in a form near the cash register. I wish someone had told me because I was staring at the menu boards for a good five minutes. I ordered the Turkey Club which has lettuce, tomato, cream cheese, turkey (of course), and cranberry sauce. It was lunch hour, so my order took about 15 minutes to complete. It was a bit long for a half order, but I was in no rush. I was about to eat my sandwich when I realized it lacked the best part--the cranberry sauce! I immediately brought it to their attention, and the guy was nice enough to remake my order. However, I told him just a small container of cranberry sauce would suffice. Everything was all good with the addition of the sauce. I left content and satisfied. Nothing life-changing about this location, but a nice sandwich shop to go to if you're downtown.
(3)Josh R.
Been here several times recently and I like it more now than I did initially...the sandwiches are great. Very fresh (although they completely messed up my order recently - make sure you check your to go bag before you leave!). Awesome they have Stumptown. Cookies are yum and so is the bread you can buy. I recently purchased the garlic cheese bread (or something like that) and my roomie and I loved it...I also purchased a loaf of their honey wheat and it was just about the best loaf I've had from anywhere! So fresh and moist.
(4)Melanie B.
This place is great. I love that it's right off the max line too. I can hop off one train, get a latte and a fresh-from-the-oven pastry and be back on another train in about 5 mins. Thanks Great Harvest!
(4)Ranie G.
let me set the scene for you... picture me, the morning after my twenty-first birthday. I had just been awoken far too early by noisy traffic and a cat climbing on my face. My cell phone had died during the night, and I haven't memorized phone numbers since eighth grade. I was staying at a friend's apartment who was out of town. My car was in multnomah village, and how was I ever going to get there? should I mention this was my first hangover? I really needed some food, but nothing sounded good. And it was 9 AM downtown... where would YOU go for food? Somehow I wandered into Great Harvest. I love bread more than anyone should, but surprisingly it was the soup that I adored. It was rich, tomatoey and greasy. It's also the reason that I now crave soup whenever I have a hangover.
(4)Emily B.
I get my coffee (Stumptown) and something to eat here twice a week on my way to work. The muffins are ok (try the blackberry oatmeal) and the scones (marionberry and blueberry) are outstanding - a real treat!
(4)Andrew H.
Yes I have mentioned the Spinach and Feta cheese bread, even the asiago one and all of the other bread and dessert items looked oh so tasty. These folks come out to the farmers markets and the one I was at was over at 20th and Salmon in the southeast. Very friendly people and love giving out slices of bread for everyone to try. Totally worth it! If you haven't had some of the Great Harvest Bread, you are missing out. Go now (well, except on Sundays since they are closed).
(5)Laura N.
Has anyone ever played Balderdash...er, actually, I'm speaking to a group of yelpers. Let me start again. ...So last weekend when you were playing Balderdash, what would you have come up with if GHBC graced your challenge card? A. Garden Hamsters of British Columbia B. Genital Herpes Breakout Center C. Good Hope Baptist Church D. Great Harvest Bread Company E. Greater Hawthorne Bowling Club F. Genius Heathens Boys Choir The correct answer for this review would be (D), Great Harvest Bread Company...although (A) is a dangerous threat we should all be aware of and who knew Baptist Churches had such a lock down on Google? Had you picked the right answer, you would have read this as the description: GHBC is a made-from-scratch bread shop started by two college kids who were into "all-natural" way before it was cool. Now not only do they make delicious bread, but they freely offer it in generous chunks (complete with butter and/or honey) to anyone who visits the store, purchase or not. A hot slice of Apple Crunch bread is worth 5-stars alone. Granted, you'll need to arrive at the crack of the doors to snag a fresh loaf. But trust me - make french toast for your significant other with a piece of this bread, and you will be amply rewarded.
(4)Ben J.
Samples...who doesn't love free samples and trying things before you buy them? Great bread selections that vary each day of the week. Check top shelf selection for day old breads/pastries and discounts. Also a great place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch sandwich.
(4)Trumary S.
A great healthy lunch spot in the heart of downtown Portland near the Max, Great Harvest is encouraging healthy eating one sample at a time. They always have samples of bread whether you buy something or not. Everything they have is fantastic - their tuna, curry chicken, meats are amazing. If you're starving or need snacks later, get the box lunch. For $10 you get a HUGE sandwich, carrots or apple, chips, cookie, drink and a pickle. AMAZING. Their coffee and muffins, scones and other treats are to die for. So tempting when you get off mass transit before hitting the office. True, they have limited seating, but with this quality, I don't mind grabbing it to go.
(5)Nick P.
Great deli sandwich! Mmm, everyone was nice and there was a Lot of great smelling food it was almost hard to make up my mind. I will be back for more!
(5)Stephen W.
Come on people, this location is two steps from the MAX tracks for a reason. The tiny, cramped, yeasty store is not a hang-out. I bet most people stop in because, like me, they need some damn good aromatic bread and coffee before boarding the stinky train. The benches are only good for browsing the Oregonian while you wait for your sandwich. The outdoor seating fills up during lunchtime for the two months it's not raining. So can you just get your bread and quietly go love every morsel of it? Sandwiches: Buy a loaf of their bread, go home and use it to make better versions of their cold sandwiches... but I think their hot sandwiches are delicious. Service: The same guy is behind the register every time I'm there. He's fast, polite, and he gives me free samples of bread. Warning: If you walk by there in the morning, prepare yourself for the heavenly scent of their Cinnamon bread in the oven-- it's irresistible. Tip: People with discerning taste cannot miss Great Harvest's Irish Soda Bread on St. Paddy's Day.
(4)E C.
MEH! I came here after a stroll through Yamhill District. The little bakery looked like it would have some great food, but it was far from the truth and the service was MEH. Ordered a lemon bar and was very dissappointed. Ordered a garlic cheese stick. I tasted the cheese..but the garilc? Dont get me started on the bread. The bread tasted like the bread sticks you get in grade school cafeterias. Probably wont go back. Should change name to OK Harvest.
(2)Nicole W.
Small menu selection. Surprisingly low lighting. Little seating. Fine for a quick I-have-other-places-to-be meal. Nothing too exciting happening here.
(2)Mike K.
If you're looking for a lunch spot that resembles a Tokyo subway at rush hour (in terms of crowdedness), this place is for you. They make their own bread (hence the name), so that's cool, but when you need your lunch within 20 minutes after squeezing through the front door (because it's crowded, not necessarily because you're fat) and the reality is more like a half hour, the bread thing only goes so far. Hiring a couple extra folks to handle the daily lunch rush would earn them another star at least.
(2)J M.
Excellent sandwiches. The Cinnamon buns look amazing.
(3)Jenny C.
Stumptown and Scones. What more do you need for breakfast? Nothing. If your max stop is at 3rd and Yamhill it's a great place to run in and grab breakfast, lunch, or a snack before getting on with (or ending) your day Conveniently located, the staff is friendly, and it's delicious...
