Great Harvest Bread Co.

The staff was so friendly. We really enjoyed our sandwiches.

Beautiful space in the heart of downtown Downers Grove. Fabulous food with lots of local goodies like honey & nut butters. They even have nitro coffee! Super friendly staff too!

Great Harvest Bread Company is THE place for getting fresh, fluffy bread in all sorts of original and traditional mixes!

I have tried both bread from here, and sandwiches. Let me tell you, I really appreciate a place that has a solid classic menu as well as more experimental breads and sandwiches for the eccentrics like me. I tried both the Popeye and Pumpkin Spice bread. My friend and I split our loot and I took the Popeye home; surprisingly, the loaf stayed moist and fresh for a whole week! You could eat it both plain and toasted, the texture was phenomenal in both aspects. Granted, I refrigerate breads, so your results may vary.

The prices are a little bit higher than what you would expect a loaf of bread to go for in a supermarket, but that is a fair price to pay for fresh bread made every day. The price point may scare away some people, but it really depends what you prioritize. If you wanna grab some bread for a party, this might not be the most cost-effective place to shop in.

This place also has more items than bread. Though I haven't tried their other items, their selection of ready-to-make soup and various sauces look pretty interesting. This little store definitely tickles my food-adventurous fancy!

Really like thus bakery store. They have amazing bread loaf options (traditional, fruit mixed, etc.). They also make home made sandwiches for the lunch crowd. Only negative is that all this quality doesn't come cheap. Loaves are $4 to $8 each.

Really great people, love the idea of scratch made bakery in DG. Bread was great. BUT...

A ton of people were ordering the Breakfast Sandwich this morning we picked up a couple ourselves and the bread was great, good cheese and bacon, the egg was really gross. Scratch made is great but when you give a rubber fake egg it is a let down. I think I would get this sandwich every day if they made some real scrambled or fried eggs but unfortunately still on the hunt for a good Breakfast Sandwich in the area!

Hope they see this and make a change ????

Welcome to the neighborhood!
