Great Harvest Bread Co.

We've shopped for speciality breads at Great Harvest for the past few years. Though the bakery is not in our neighborhood, it's worth the drive to pick up a few loaves for our home. The bread can be frozen for later use, and when it has defrosted, it retains its quality.
Our favorites are the High 5 Grain and Dakota breads. I understand that these breads are made from the same dough, but the seeds that are added make them different.
They also make amazing bagels, but their selection and quantity is limited. You would have to pre-order your bagels if you intend to buy for your family. My understanding is that they make their bagels from left over bread dough, so I've not seen more than 6-8 in their display cabinet, usually less. The bagels are a nice sandwich size, with a chewy interior and firm exterior.
Their cinnamon bread varieties are amazingly aromatic and simply lovely for a treat or after meal dessert. To add to their dessert options are apple cinnamon swirl loaf, which is wonderful, and cinnamon rolls topped with a decadent icing.
I could go on, but it's best if you walk in to experience their store and offerings yourself. I suggest visiting their website before you head over their way to see their baked bread rotation and sandwich menu. Enjoy!

Im really disappointed with the experience I had here today. I ordered two Turkey Pesto sandwiches with no vegetables and balsamic on the side, plus a Caprese. Instead, I was given one Turkey Pesto and a Caprese. After pointing it out, I paid for the second sandwich, but when it was being made, I noticed the staff adding vegetables (which I had specifically requested to be left off). When I clarified again, the employees (Katie and Joshua) argued with me, insisted I hadn't ordered it that way (just like I didn’t order 2 of the SAME sandwiches), and Katie flat out said, "I'm not remaking them." Rather she told me she would scrape everything off. This is especially upsetting because I have a tomato allergy, and rather than correcting the mistake, they dismissed me. I come here often, I've never been rude, and my order has never been wrong before. But today I felt completely disrespected as a customer, and more importantly, my allergy was ignored. Sadly, after this experience, I can't say I'll be coming back.

Best bread, breakfast excellent 👌

A great local spot for fresh bread and sandwiches located just outside of Temecula wine country.
Highly recommend the breakfast paninis. Either get the garlic or chipotle spread put on your sandwich. You'll love it.

Definitely try out their monkey bread or the cinnamon burst bread. It's amazing.

I just love their everything really! But Cinnamon rolls are the boooooomb! Best ones out there

I love bakeries in general. They are far superior to anything at standard grocery stores, which at one point used to bake things not just take them out of the feeezer.
Having said that, GHBC was middle of the road quality. The tomato sourdough was pretty good but had a giant hole in the center. It happens but technique matters.The jalapeño sourdough was excellent . Not overwhelming spiciness but balanced.
The standard Alaskan sourdough round was a major disappointment. Absolutely awful. Probably the driest sourdough i have ever had. Crumbling apart and way too much cornmeal on the bottom. Just yuck. It was fed to my crows who didnt care for it and literally keep dipping it into water before they ate it.
Since not everything was bad, we will try again with other varieties and sandwiches.
For the cost per loaf though, i will be very wary. There are other places which make soudough fresh for less with better quality.

Delicious way to start your wine tasting day when in Temecula.

Tasty bread treats and sandwiches.
Very Yummy.

Holy crap! This place is A+. Went there. Wants to dine in and went there again two days later for takeout and both times everything was perfect. The service was great and the food is outstanding.

5 Stars – The Bright Spot in My Day
Most of my days tend to be on the dreary side, but walking into Great Harvest Bread Company in Temecula always gives me a much-needed pick-me-up—especially when Cassandra is working. She’s always got a great joke, a warm smile, and the kind of attitude that makes you feel welcome. In a world full of stressed and angry people, it’s refreshing to find a place with genuine kindness and good vibes. Oh—and the bread and sandwiches? Always top notch. We’ll keep coming back, no question.

They have the best freshly baked breads. Great place for a sandwich. I also love to grab quick gifts there.

I went in for sour dough loaf and to ask if they sell sour dough starter. Loaf was pretty good. Re starter, informed it needs to be pre-ordered. While there also purchased a mediterranean grilled veggie sandwich, which was nicely prepared. They were very generous on avocado and cheese. 😊 Will i go back again? It is a bit far from home but next time im nearby, wouldnt mind stopping by for another loaf. I tell you, it get any closer to homemade. We need more shops like this. ❤️

The staff here is always friendly, and my sandwich is always hot and delicious. The Smokehouse sandwich is definitely my favorite—I highly recommend it!

Great baked goods featuring Montana wheat flour. Cinnamon rolls are outstanding. Cozy seating area and friendly staff. Call ahead and order because favorites sell out early. Great bread loaf options. Starbucks across the parking lot.
