I’ve been going to Great Harvest since they opened many years ago. They are consistently awesome! I’ve never had a bread I didn’t like, and believe me I’ve eaten almost every kind they have. The employees are fantastic and always make me feel welcome. If I was asked which bread is my favorite, it wouldn’t be easy. However, their cinnamon bread is so yummy and makes the best French toast. You’ll love every loaf you buy! Keep up the great work making the most delicious bread ever! Great gifts as well! Thank you Great Harvest! 10/2026 I moved up to Maple Grove six years ago and I thought I would love the location up here, but they are the worst ever. I went back to your location and it is the best bread ever. Can you teach the people up here how to be a good store and not have stale bread and horrible service and disgusting scones? Keep on doing what you’re doing down there because you guys are great!

I have been very disappointed with Great Harvest's consistency between stores At the Burnsville store the cinnamon rolls are often undebaked with less cinnamon and sugar than rolls in previous years and ones we buy from Great Harvest in MPLS. The cinnamon poppers we've purchased have been more like light wheat rolls with a bit of sugar. Its just very diassapointing because going to Great Harvest has been a tradition. Our grandkids slather on the wonderful cream cheese frosting so they don't mind as much. But the rolls are clearly underbaked and less of the good stuff. On the other hand the counter staff are great.

Good bread but this place has gotten severely overpriced. Loaf of bread and six scones for $30. This scones are absolutely tiny, about two and a half inches across and $3.50 per. Too expensive to go back.

  • Price per person: $20–30

Hey hey, hey, or shall we say Ho, Ho, Ho? Tis this season but, anyways, let me get to the point. Great harvest bread Co is simply just that. It's great, but it's better than great. It's beyond that. It's amazing. And here's why. The bread is warm and delicious, and the aromas are wonderful and succulent, and it isn't enough that you have great tasting bread and well skilled bakers, but you also have a friendly kind staff that's welcoming. I'm not gonna put anybody on the spot, but I you know what, you know, I think I am. Skyler, yes Skyler was the person that helped us and was knowledgeable about baking. She's a baker herself, but on top of that, she also helped us at the register and did a excellent job. Good on you to everybody else that works at Great Harvest Bread Co I advise you get out there, get as much bread as you can. Eat it for breakfast, eat it for lunch. Eat.It for dinner, it's delicious. Get all your bread at great harvest bread Co!

Best thing ever when gifting someone a meal. They have gift bags and ribbon. Easy and comforting for those recuperating. Clerks are always helpful and attentive to detail too.
