Great Harvest Bread Co. Boise at Curtis & Fairview — Restaurant in Idaho

I almost didn't stop here because I didn't see that they serve coffee on here, Google. but I went by on my bike and saw the coffee through the window. I wanted to post that they do indeed have coffee ☕

I only see small sized cups of coffee as an option. I mean, I don't see coffee as an option on one of the various menus hanging around the shop. Are they low key embarrassed about the coffee? It's good coffee, but I have no idea how much I paid for it. Why isn't there more people in here drinking coffee on this fine morning? A handful of people have come through, but none sat down. It's a nice place to sit down, with the smell of baking bread. I'd chill here with my laptop drinking coffee and eating a cinnamon roll. So why though, why is no one sitting down today?

I think I answered my own question. "One Free Coffee Refill Only, Please!" So, a costumer has only one option for drip coffee. The option is small. One refill. Fair enough, I think that works well with my style, but maybe others are a little more bougie with their coffee. Maybe they don't want to be a "coffee" place. You know focus on doing bread well, instead of spreading themselves thin.

Poker face is playing on the speakers. Oh man I could really have gone this morning without hearing this song. I'll be singing "Po po po poker face po po poker face" later today, I'm sure.

I would have given four stars instead of five because the music playing is trite, but they saved themselves through Chipotle Mayo. I can't believe they would play such lame music here. Backstreet Boys is playing right now. "I Want It That Way." Everyone is listening but no one is laughing. Tell me why. Anyway, Great Harvest came in strong when I asked about sauces for my breakfast sandwich. The man behind the sandwich presses offered me chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Perfect. Exactly what I wanted. I, truly, wanted it that way.

Oh God... Shakira Shakira Shakira, her hips don't lie, starting to feel alright. It's 2003 top 40s in here. Stepping into these doors, like stepping into the past, like a reoccurring dream where you're running from Shakira but can't seem to escape.

Other than bad taste in music, there is a loud, how do I describe, squeak? Squeal? High pitched rolling of some type of oven going on. It's not awful, but it's not great. Maybe that is why they play bad music here, to distract from the oven squeaks?

I turn around, now there is a few people sitting down. But not to stay here, just to wait before getting their food, then leaving. Why is this not a more popular place to come sit? It has to be the combination of early 2000 Black Eyed Peas and squeaky oven rollers.

Also the sausage patty might as well have came from McDonald's. Not great, well, nothing special anyway. Just basic frozen sausage. Was hoping for something made from the heart. Instead I ate something from a bag. The way it is, I guess. Perhaps, I believe now, it would have been better just to get one of the delicacies, maybe a scone or muffin or roll. You know, something made here. The breakfast sandwich just didn't cut it as being something special, something worth coming back for anyway. Thank God for that Chipotle Mayo though. You gotta ask for it though, that's the thing, they don't display this sauce info anywhere I can see. A lot to read around here. Lots of signs and texts on the wall, the menus, the signs. Where is the chipotle mayo sign?

Huh that Tik Tok song is playing. I'm boping along. It's so bad though, why does it control me? Why do I love...

I went there whit my family because I love the food there, I appreciate ppl works there but not to the point they disrespect me and my family because we're Muslims and we were wearing our hijab, I was there w my money, I saw the way they was serving me and the way they do for others. At this point I don't appreciate anything. The girl was taking my order never smiled to me or even to my 2 year old sister, we waited for our order for so long I went to ask, to me in very mean and she tn that ordered me that it's not ready even that told her my order 3 different time to the last moment I was very clam and Understandable, until she called someone else to help me, I was not happy I could've just called the cops, or done anything, besides that everyone at the place was looking at us like we're not welcomed in here, that we're not human like them. At that moment I wished that I stayed at the war.... And not come to here and see how ppl make me feel like I'm nothing.

I don't like that it was very bad vibe I was there to have good day, I was just to have good time w my family and they told us that we can't stay longer because they were closing, even tho that they had so many different Customers there.

To the girl was working there u need to be a little more opened and Educated to different ppl Culture and religion. Be more friendly and smile at ppl face. Show ppl love so they can enjoy the food they paid money for. like wasn't even ur money. Ti the other ppl works there I appreciate u guys be good ppl. And I will see u again and u will have to respect me. Because I was very respectful and I will tell u to have a good day, since that u never said something nice, I will do it and I hope u learn...

Used to be a great lunch spot…

Unfortunately in the last few months it’s taken a turn. The grownup grilled cheese was the best sandwich for miles around my office (IMO). After weeks of being ripped off when paying for extra jalapeño jelly, I’m assuming in an effort to save money, the store has changed their jalapeño jelly to some sort of homemade vinegar based jalapeño sauce. It’s ruined the sandwich completely. It’s thin and runny and overly vinegary. (Jalapeño jelly is not hard to make, don’t be OK with subpar)

Found out today that’s how it comes now… So I try the chicken salad. Dry. Bread was dry, salad was dry and somehow the walnuts were soft and mushy…$9.00 for a HALF and it’s in my trash can.

Considering the price folks pay for their sandwiches here, it should be consistently good, and when they pay extra for EXTRA jam, giving them a tiny cup 1/4 inch full isn’t worth the $1.25. Considering you’re not even using that money to buy decent jelly anymore.

After all that, tables don’t get wiped down between folks having lunch and are often sticky and the bathroom is...
