I've been going to Great Harvest since it opened in the renovated Bi Rite Drugstore building. The bread is incredible--crisp crust with a chewy, moist, flavorful and delicious crumb no matter what kind you try. They just started making sourdough and it too is really good.

The main issue I have is the poor service. I walked in to pick up an online order. There were no signs. After asking I was pointed toward the cash register where I stood waiting for two other people to order, and then the cashier disappeared to put together an order. Meanwhile the two other employees (including the one who knew I was there to pick up an order) wandered about doing other things.
