Great Harvest Bakery/Cafe — Restaurant in Beaver Dam

I usually love coming here, but this past time was quite a bust (11/30/2023). I'm not a super frequent customer, but every couple of months I'll go in 3-5 times within a week or two to get my bread fix, so I know what I want and I have an ingrained idea of what I get will taste like. I got a chill maria coffee today and it was SO strange. It tasted a bit different just in general to usual, but mainly it had this weird acidic aftertaste. Not bitter like coffee, but a lingering acidic taste that made me wonder if their milk had gone bad under their nose. It left me with some fierce heart burn after just a few sips, never happened before! I also got a Turkey Gobbler, which is my favorite sandwich and I get one every time I come. But this time the egg in it was only partially cooked. And not in a awesome runny egg way, but the egg yolk and white were both pooling out of the center cut of the sandwich. I love a good runny yolk, but the slimy texture of undercooked egg whites is intolerable. The turkey was also not quite the same? It seemed much more generic deli meat than the nicer stuff they used to use. I'm not sure if they were just having an off day today, or if something actually changed, but the food was pretty horrible this time around. On a plus side, as usual the service is great, the place is clean and well organized, and the bread selection is...

My main two complaints about my visit today are that there were no menu prices, and honestly, when I received my meal, the price to quality ratio was a bit off. I paid $17 and some change for what is pictured close to $18. I went into the harvest bread co fully knowing they make their own bread and is a bit of an upper scale cafe due to those reasons. I know once upon a time they had menu prices and a soup and sandwhich combo. Today, however, there were no menu prices, so by the time the cashier gave me my total, i felt it was embarrassing to leave. I felt inclined to pay. I thought the quality of the meal would make up for the steep price. I was a bit floored when I received a mid sandwhich and less than mid chicken soup. My small chicken soup had about 6 or 7 pieces of noodle, and to my surprise, no chicken! I used the provided crackers to add a little more substance. The sandwhich of the month, which was a philly cheese with peppers, was very mid, nothing special that made up for the price. Come in expecting to pay a mark up on in-house bread and...

We used to order from here a lot, and I still really like it, but I haven't been able to order through the app since Spring, and the online ordering through Door Dash hardly has anything on the menu. Rather than drag the whole family, we like to order pick-up, but they've made it increasingly difficult to do so. Also, the last few times we've had sandwiches there, the bread has not been toasted enough, and is soggy. The scones here are phenomenal, as are most of the baked goods. The Chill Marias are one of my favorite drinks anywhere. We used to buy loaves of the Sourdough, because that's amazing as well, but I really wish they'd start taking orders on...
