Reviews of Great Harvest Bread Co., Anchorage, AK (Bakery)

George Samus

We plan to travel around Alaska and needed to have some breakfast food for our travels. The staff was SUPER FRIENDLY and very helpful. They also let you taste the product before you buy, and not just a tiny bite, nice sized pieces. We were very happy with our purchase and our visit - highly recommend. And yes, the food is yummy!

I work at a coffee shop & one of my friends regularly brings me food from here. This place is gold, from the salads to the deserts. The sandwiches are yummy too and everything’s so fresh. There’s definitely care put into everything they make.

Fabiana Kirtley

I come here every once in a while to try a new loaf of bread. Today I tried the ginger and blueberry bread... it was amazing! I also ordered a Veggie Harvest half sandwich and it was really good as well!

GREAT BREAD! Was busy when I was there, and couldn't get anyone's attention to order a sandwich, thus minus a star. Ate elsewhere.

Patrick Brooks

Very large place with many different activities. Very friendly staff. Villa room build quality isn't great.

aurora Bannon

The peanut butter chocolate bread is terrible ,it smells weird, and is very dense. The peanut butter chocolate chips taste bitter and kind of sour as well. First time trying it. Not impressed at all

James Weaver

This is the best place to get fresh bread in Anchorage. I have been to a lot of bakeries and Great Harvest is consistently awesome. The staff is really friendly and they provide samples if you want to try something different. Worth waiting for if you go during a peak time.

sabrina martino

Looked this place up on Google and got real excited to go. Their website said they were open until 6pm so I headed out to try a sandwich for the first time. I got there at 3:04 and looked up at the menu. An employee noticed and said if you're looking at sandwiches we're not serving them any more. I didnt see that on their home page or online menu (easily anyway) all I saw was open until 6. I drive clear across town to get there 4 minutes after 3:00 to be told I was 4 whole minutes too late. Won't go back

Tom Borton

Awesome place.

Rosalind Griffin

One of the BEST BREAD stores in Anchorage.

Ryan Stonebraker

Yummy

Pamela Beale

Your breads have been a part of our meals for many years. We, our children and grandchildren love your breads. You have been shared with families across the US when we fly many times a loaf or two of will bread fly in our carry on. You have taken the guess work out of shopping for those picky folks we like gifting and no matter what we purchase it is always the right gift. I do have a couple of friends that like the certificates so they can choose their favorite item. As busy as you are I have always been treated with kindness from everyone who has served me. thank you for the wonderful job you do in our community. I am excited to see the Fall and holiday breads back on the shelf.

Tim Robbins

Amazing samples, large portions. The bread is delicious.

Harshavardhan Jasthi

Harvest the perfection

Snow Kitty

Fantastic experience! Was offered a bread sample upon entering that was a delicious pumpkin swirl bread. My wife and I enjoyed a roast beef panini that was very enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend coming here!

Zack Gray

Always great food and fast service. Their sandwiches are amazing, as are their baked goods.

David Arieno

Awesome breads!

Helena Wierzbicki

Great, helpful employees. The customer service was wonderful. Food absolutely delicious...and SAMPLES! Who doesn't love samples?! I highly recommend the veggie sandwich on sourdough. Yummmm

Marnie AK

I love this place. Their Cinnamon Chip bread is scrumptiously delicious. They give free samples of their breads, and the samples are full slices of bread, not just a bite. If you haven't been there, treat yourself. The fresh baked bread, along with their coffee, cookies, sandwiches, and other little goodies, are definitely worth the trip.

Jeff Hamilton

A friend of mine in NH sent me a video on social media that showed how the bread is made here. After watching this, I rushed here the next morning. I bought a loaf of cinnamon chip bread and I think its the most delicious bread I've ever had. It was still warm when I bought it, and they provided me a plastic bag in which to store it after it cooled off in about 3 hours. And I loved the fact that they have a super friendly employee right when you walk in that gives you free samples of fresh bread. As I write this review, I'm craving their bread again...

39 Pizza

Awesome bread!!! Today is their 24th anniversary and I was given 30% off my purchase. Not to mention, I get a free slice of bread everytime I visit. I really love their cinnamon roll bread.

Anxious Fur

This place is almost always full of people when I visit & it's not hard to see why, when you walk in, the smell of fresh baked goods hits your nose, the portions of their bread samples (optional butter always available) are a grand snack & I'm always tempted to buy a loaf when I visit, especially because I can try before I buy! The prices for a full loaf are extremely reasonable considering the time & money it would cost to produce a product similar at home!

Andy M

Love the place great food. Friendly faces pretty girls.

Brian Espetitee

The lady in green was super helpful and super knowledgeable about the different selections. I would definitely recommend and revisit.

Dan A

Very good Bread. I have enjoyed everything I have ordered here, and I always look forward to the next time. The wait can get long if you come during afternoon rush, or around the holidays, but that’s a testament to how good it is. Prices keep going up...

Jonathan Keen

We were in Anchorage for a few days after a couple weeks exploring Alaska. Our hotel was nearby to this place, but we didn't come across it until the last day. What a mistake that was! The bread and sandwiches coming out of this place are amazing. I'll always remember walking up, being asked if I wanted a sample, then handed a HUGE slice of bread as my 'sample'. It was delicious and made me want to order an entire sandwich from them and one of their ridiculously large cinnamon buns. Stop reading this and go now!

Fabiana Kirtley

I come here every once in a while to try a new loaf of bread. Today I tried the ginger and blueberry bread... it was amazing! I also ordered a Veggie Harvest half sandwich and it was really good as well!

Rebeca de Moura

Loved it! Nice staff and great sandwiches! Ask for a sample on the way in. The cinamon bread is delicious!!

Jamie Brennan

Delicious snickerdoodles and sandwiches! Fast service and unique sandwich options. This is the best lunch we had on our trip up to Anchorage.

Sarah White Jones

Delicious! Sandwiches are always wonderful. The bread is soft and warm. The cinnamon chip is my favorite for a snack or breakfast! Turkey Pepper jack panini is hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

Alexandra Hammond

I heard about this place via Insider on YouTube. My fiancé and I came here and absolutely love it! Fresh bread that you can get a free sample of, tasty breads and sandwiches, decent coffee and friendly staff. If you happen to be in Anchorage definitely stop by!

David Scott

Best sandwiches in Anchorage. They use better bread than anywhere else around.

Daphne Raynes

Great sandwiches on incredible homemade bread. Try the roast beef and provolone panini on Popeye bread. Super yum!!

Katrina Smith

I went in to check it out. Great selection of breads. Offered me a sample of six options and gave me a FULL slice of bread w butter and honey. Have a deli bar open during lunchtime. Several specialities of Ak sour dough. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Great field trip idea for assisted living homes and daycares.

David Ustick

Great people and breads

Rachel Walden

I love this place. The bread is amazing and the sandwiches are fantastic

Mark Pavlik

Couldn't wait to post this review. Came here for a cinnamon roll and coffee and realized I've been missing out in life. They have two lines. One is the the order line and the other is a bread sample line. A BREAD SAMPLE LINE! Tried the Rustic white sour dough and it is hands down the best sour dough I've ever had. Cinnamon roll was amazing and the Khaladi brothers Americano was on point! I am going to miss this place. Although maybe they ship it to the lower 48??

Terps Madison

Always leave with a sandwich when I come in for a sample. Chicken Alaska on honey wheat. Super tasty chicken salad, just a tad salty for me today. Bread was fresh as always.

Rachel Walden

I love this place. The bread is amazing and the sandwiches are fantastic

Tena Storgaard

I have never eaten at a Great Harvest Bread, and I would definitely go back again. My sandwich was delicious and it was such a nice treat to have a taste of cinnamon roll while I waited. Excellent lunch place!

Raven Kahula

Based on two cinnamon rolls and a sample of Cranberry White Chocolate bread, this place is fantastic. We sat for 4 hours eating those then playing cards. Great little place to meet up with friends.

Jack Daniels

Best samples in town with some of the best breads and skones you will find in Alaska! If you haven't stoped in and had a free sample you won't regret it trust me, warm and friendly staff ate always avlable and willing to help with any question / order you may have.

Terps Madison

AMAZING! The bread is where it is at. If you love bread you should eat here. If Bread loves you, you should eat here. Eat where the locals eat. Locals eat here, because the bread is delicious. Enjoy!

D Slater

Asiago rustic bread is amazing! It's like pesto bread but better! I love the free samplings of bread and the cheerful staff as soon as you walk in. We go here about every two months or so and have always had good service and food.

Jill Brock

Great Bread, and free samples. Its fresh every day, the way bread store bread should be.

Tammy Hill

Joyce Frey

Caprice Simmons

Love this place! The customer service is great. Breads are absolutely delicious

Priyanka R

The sandwich was surprisingly small for the amt we paid, but I eat small portions so it worked out fine. However, the wait took forever which is the reason for the docked star. The best part about this place is the little station where they give out samples of their bread. They are so generous with the "sample" they give and the bread is warm and delicious.

Nat Luengnaruemitchai

Huge sample :) delicious bread at a steep price though

Charles Bingham

Alway's tasty and fresh.

Kate

Any time I come to Anchorage I make a point o come here. Absolutley recommend. Sour dough bread and amazing and the cinnamon chip bread is the best. Their whole wheat bread is also very good. Price is worth it.

Christopher Colburn

Omg!!!! Delicious!!!!

Sasha Smith

Delicious bread and sandwiches - try breakfast here. Great for a casual Saturday morning.

Richard Schober

What kinda of place stops selling sandwiches at 3pm. Obviously one that is overpriced with a poor business plan. If you don’t want to sell sandwiches I suggest you close your doors at 3pm and update your status to closed at 3pm

Spencer Scott

Great coffee and amazing samples.

Mandy Cole

Rodney Rismoen

1st vist. Called in an order. Stood in a very long line during my lunch break. Got to the counter. They didn't have our order. No lunch for me and my coworkers today. Lunch break gone. Last visit.

Brigid Levi

Hands down the best breadstore. 8 years later and I finally got to go back and experience the flavors I fell in love with all over again. It's such an open warm place with great staff. 100/10 will be going back. And while the prices are on the high side for some of the breads, you are getting your moneys worth of flavor

Riley Andrus

Best bread in town

Destiny Wells

Expensive but delicious!

Jenny Clay

Wonderful sandwiches!

Jen McLaughlin

Amazing. A taste of home. Literally from my home town.

Margaret Cormier

White chocolate cheery bread is the bomb!

Bruce Earley

What's not to love about fresh bread

Kasindra Van Meter

Great sandwiches and great bread. Their "samples" tend to be full sized slices of different breads so show up hungry! The place is clean and the staff is friendly.

nithyaz cm

Wow! This place was amazing! We were met with friendly smiles whom offered up huge samples of their different breads. We managed to save room for a couple of sandwiches that were just as amazing! Their cinnamon roll, ham and cheese roll, and the smoked salmon sandwich will have you coming back for more! I really wished I had smuggled some back in my suitcase! ~sigh~ We will return on our next visit to Anchorage.

John Pruitt

Great place to grab a sandwich...and try some delicous bread.

Universe Critic

The stuff they bake are amazing, but they lost a star because of the sandwiches they serve.

Jenny Ramos

The Chai latte is amazing, just enough sweet. The Sandwiches are amazing, great place for a quick breakfast. The smell of bread is also very enjoyable. Great find.

Anthony Ervin

My absolute favorite bread place period. I love the white chocolate cherry bread and their sandwiches are awesome! This is one of our family favorites.

Deborah Hart

Always the best service and super friendly. Not to mention best bread ever.

Samone FrazierDrath

Excellent food. Very casual.

Peter Newman

Very nice bread, free samples, friendly service. Would be five stars if the prices were about 20% lower.

Anna E. Tipikin

Wonderful place for a small gathering! Smells amazing when you walk in

Nauman Khan

Delicious choices!

Kayla Henry

HOLY MOLY this place is good. I took a bite of my Turkey and Pepper Jack panini and instantly wanted another one before I was even finished. The chipotle sauce was really good, the turkey itself was flavorful and sliced thick, and the bread... lord. Also, they have cinnamon rolls the size of your head and give out samples. Highly recommend.

Darlene Cullor

Smells great, grabbing a sandwich

David Kiyak

Staff are SUPER friendly, bread samples are generous, and the sandwiches will fill you right up. so delicious!!

Nicole Milliron

This is a great place to get some fresh baked bread or a sandwich. Their sandwiches can be made hour or cold. They even give you a slice of whichever bread you want to try while you wait.

Ben Morook

The bread and service is great. My wife worked at a Great Harvest in Salem for a while and I can hardly eat breat bought at a grocery store. However, the ownership's decision not to open other locations and the franchises decision not to let others open other locations locally is why they get 2 stars. We have enough demand in Anchorage for another location to succeed. Driving to the heart of mid-town traffic prevents more people from eating healthy bread. I bought a mixer and a grinder and I make my own bread soley to avoid driving to their single location for a single item in mid-town. OPEN MORE!

Cleo Hill

Bread heaven, grain nirvana.

Jason Williams

Excellent bread store and sandwiches are awesome!

Rebecca s

I ordered a sandwich and they made it wrong. I had to drive all the way back because I wanted the correct sandwich that I specifically ordered and had her repeat back to me the first time. Then I did the same thing, ask her to repeat back to me what I wanted, when I went back. Drove all the way back to work only to find out it was wrong AGAIN! I got refunded my sandwich and my coworkers sandwich that I had ordered but still very irritated about who made the sandwiches today during lunch and it wasn’t even that busy.

Paul Harren

Most all of their bread is a great choice. Chipotle turkey sandwich is excellent - distinct and flavorful ingredients.

S.A Stapley

Good cookie

Evonne Beavers

Amazing bread there. Yummy

Ida Nelson

Easy to get hooked on their warm, delicious breads. Love to share this with visiting friends and family. Usually send them off at airport with Bread tucked in their carry on! A don't miss business that donates to diverse organizations. Stop in soon!

Katie Marrera

I love the salmon spread on Asiago Rustic bread. Super friendly staff and I like that they let you call your order in ahead of time and then come pick it up.

Norma H

Magically delicious

Eddy Beard

The food was fresh and fast. They run the kitchen like a clean well oil machine. The Salmon on Woodstock was absolutely delicious

Donna Cofield

Sales lady was pleasant, patient and very helpful. Food and bread awesomely delish!!

Dimitri Smith

Of course being closed on Sunday always makes for a sad day when you pull up and find they're not open. However, this is my go to place for a great sandwich. You're always hit with a great smell of freshly baked bread when you walk in and there are so many options to chose from.

Heather Henderson

The sample table offers new addictions daily. Fresh ingredients and everything is made on site.
