Great Harvest Bread Co. - Mentor, OH — Restaurant in Mentor

After viewing a video on Facebook of the Great Harvest Bread Co. my girlfriend and I decided that it was a location that we're gonna have to visit. Upon our arrival we found a beautiful location that is well kept and very inviting, clean and with a great aroma. The staff was very friendly and offered samples of their different products, the young girl behind the counter was knowledgeable and was able to explain quite a few differences and what we were tasting. After several samples we decided to order something off the menu and although the many looked great after receiving our food and tasting it I was slightly disappointed. I ordered the Cubano and having tasted original cubano sandwiches in the past this was by far no comparison and my girlfriends ham & cheese wasn't any better. With all that being said a clean location with a friendly staff and good bread, it's still not enough to bring this...

We live in a Great Harvest desert (Buffalo, NY) so we sought out a Great Harvest on our road trip route. I reached out to the Mentor, Ohio location, and the owner, Chris, got right back to me. I was able to place an order (to stock our freezer with awesome Cinnamon Chip Extreme) for the day we were driving through. Yesterday was that big day, and Chris came through brilliantly! He called to confirm our order and had our freshly baked bread all set to go. We also enjoyed sandwiches on our stop and got take-out salads for our dinner, as well as a few loaves of their grain breads. The service mentality must run in the family as Molly, Chris's sister, was super helpful in seeing that our order was perfect. We HIGHLY recommend this Great Harvest Bread Company location and look forward to our next road trip through Mentor! Thank you, Chris, for going...

Bread=Good. Service=Great (Molly is cool:) Prices=UGH. Expect to pay upwards of $5-$7 for a loaf of bread. Maybe I am cheap but come on I dont like paying Whole Foods or Heinens prices at this humble small bakery tucked away in a quiet and somewhat dead strip mall...To be fair, yes the ingredients are great and wholesome and probably could justify a bit on price and I agree w/ everyone else reviews here and my favorite breads are Pumpkin Chocolate Chip and Dakota. But, the prices suck and I guess thats good because then I'd probably be here every week to buy bread and/or apple butter. Suggestion: A discount near closing time for unsold breads, or a "Happy Hour", or for frequent buyers. And yes I am part of the Rewards Club they offer but honestly its not reward-y enough for me currently. I hope to be proved wrong in the...
