Great Harvest Bread Cafe

This place is Heaven on Earth! From the second you walk in the door you are greeted with the delicious aroma of fresh baked bread and goodies. We are so thrilled to have found this treasure. We got a decent sampling of their menu and honestly can't choose our favorite. The scuffins are moist and rich w/a perfect crisp of sugar glaze on top. The brownies were decadent and the bread was so hearty and flavorful unlike bland store loaves. The owner is so kind and knowledgeable about her passion of baking. We be back soon for more treats, thank you for baking with love!

Hidden gem?? When I went in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, barely anyone else here! But they have a great selection of local goods, bakery items, and sandwiches. 10/10 recommend!

We really enjoyed our first visit to Great Harvest Bread Company. The owner was kind enough to make us four sandwiches just before closing. We got 3 of the classic sandwiches and 1 signature sandwich. We tried the curried tuna salad, ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, and roast beef. Two were on the Dakota bread, one on white, and one on honey wheat. I couldn't resist adding a half dozen of stuffing rolls to the order. I enjoyed both sandwiches I tried, half of the turkey and half of the tuna. Both of these were on the Dakota bread, which I'm a big fan of. We used to buy it at the city market along with a loaf of their cinnamon chip (highly recommended for french toast).

I didn't get to try the ham and cheese or the roast beef. The guys ate those quickly and certainly didn't offer to share. Its going to be hard to pick which sandwich to get on our return visit, so many good options!

One thing is for sure, I need to hurry and order stuffing rolls for Thanksgiving, along with a pumpkin roll for my husband. If cookies and pies entice you, there are plenty of those as well.

A spot worth trying out and making it a favorite. My wife and I shred the chicken salad sandwich and muffin on Dakota bread. Delicious and fresh. The raspberry muffin was a treat for the drive home. They serve Shenandoah Joe drip coffee but I went across the way for a cappuccino. The owner is delightful.

The cheese bread we selected at the recommendation of the team member was the last on the shelf -- it has been gooey and cheesy and remained incredible even after a week of pacing to enjoy it as long as possible.

((the bogo end-of-day muffins we selected were... a bit dry, though. The incredible cheese bread is the stuff of dreams))

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had an amazing pumpkin muffin that was exactly as a muffin should be, perfectly moist and flavorful. Looking forward to trying more things and can only recommend!

Wonderful bakery on the main street of Charlottesville. Just a short walk from downtown. They have a great selection of cookies, savory and sweet croissants and sweet treats.

Went to this place prior to Thanksgiving to pick up some specialty items and specifically rolls. Went in there and they had a huge selection the lady that owned the place was working behind the counter she was super nice. She explained that they take care of the weed in the back room and they pretty much manage everything. I would make this a regular stop on your grocery rounds.

What a great place to get some awesome bread and other treats. Owner is so knowledgeable about the different types of bakery items and you can tell has a real passion for baking. Something there for everybody from sandwiches to baked goods to super delicious treats. I’ve been there multiple times and never been disappointed.

Fist visit to this shopping area and store. I purchased an oatmeal raisin cookie that was delicious but pricey.
