Great Harvest Bread Company

Was looking for a good bagel place, but since they didn't have any, we got 2 Cinnamon rolls, which were fine - large with a good amount of icing. The place looked very clean and we took a booth to talk, noticing it is an overly Christian business with signs and sayings on the walls - which is fine, but it was the day after Halloween and loud Christian Christmas music was playing. I finally asked the young man at the cash register to turn it down. I don't like the current trend of restaurants being so loud it's difficult to have a nice conversation without having to nearly shout at each other. I might try some of their bread, but would not stay to eat inside.

First off when you walk in the smell is amazing! Second the food is delicious and the prices are great. Everything we ordered was fresh and very tasty.

I hadn't planned on stopping here but I'm glad I did. The sign out front declaring Cinnamon roll called me in. I ordered a Cinnamon Roll and a cookie to go. However they offer a free slice of bread. So I got Cinnamon Chip loaf. I put butter and honey on it and sat down to eat it. It was simply Phenomenal. It was a large slice of bread, but I inhaled it. It was so soft and flavorful. It almost melted in your mouth. I ended up buying a loaf it was.

Friendly service by happy people.

The cinnamon roll and cookie ended up being Very Good, not as good as the bread though.

Overall 5 stars. Would I return? Oh Heck Yes!

The bread here is always good, and this location had exceptional staff. While on vacation I pointed out this place to my friend who had never been to one so we popped in and had a bread sample and then of course ended up buying a couple loaves of bread to bring home. The staff on hand was exceptionally friendly and helpful and really made our vacation experience top-notch.

Great bread and friendly staff! I live in Holland so it's a 30 min drive, but it's worth it to stock up on their bread. The honey whole wheat is delicious, and it's 100% whole wheat flour. I'm sorry they are currently only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but we tend to go Friday or Saturday anyway. I love their granola too.

The cinnamon swirl bread is just to die for!!! But.... so are all the other flavors. Today we tried sandwiches and all were amazing. Every single one. Greatest thing to grab and take to the beach! Yum!

Full disclosure: I'm a bread person. I believe bakeries should not be filled with fluffy sickly sweet pastries, but instead with all sorts of breads.

Having said that: I was in heaven when we finally stopped in and picked up something from this bakery. I truly wish I had gone in here the first day we were in the area, instead of the last. But who knew it would be my own personal nirvana, from the non-descript exterior?

This place publishes a monthly baking list. They vary what they bake on a day-of-the-week basis for that month. So, for example, cinnamon swirl might be made on Mon/Wed/Fri for month of August... Additionally, they publish their bake times each day on a chalk board inside the store - so that same bread, on Monday, may be scheduled to come out of the oven at 10:30...

So - this tells you they view bread the same way I do - they love it!

The day I went in, (about 3p) they were out of Cinnamon swirl :-( but they still had pizza roll and lots of other choices too. We bought the pizza roll and our family scarfed that down pretty quickly. It was fantastic. Makes me wish I lived in Grand Haven so we could go there every single day for fresh bread.

Had we discovered this earlier, I think it might have been the go-to place to get a loaf of bread for a beach lunch... there are a few other stores close by to pick up a few other picnic fixin's, if you are paying attention.

Would I recommend: Yes!
Would I return: Yes!

I enjoyed my turkey, cheese, mustard, tomato, lettuce, and onion on thick- I mean thick- wheat bread.

Prices are reasonable- sandwich was $6.13 and medium pop was $1.51. I felt like I got my $$ worth.

Service was friendly and quick.

I wish they offered some healthier chips- I prefer baked or pretzels.

The place was clean including the bathroom

The wheat bread on the turkey sandwich was extremely good. The cinnamon rolls are delicious as well.

Best restaurant in Grand Haven. Super clean, friendly staff, great sandwiches. Try a free slice of bread!
