Great Harvest Bread Co. — Restaurant in Morton

Great Harvest has Great food and Good coffee.

Great Harvest in my opinion is one full of delicious coffee and fulfilling food that is delicious and satisfying. Luckily you can get both of these at Great Harvest Bread Company in Morton, IL.

On an unusually cold and rainy day, my friend and I had hunger pains and the desire for caffeine. I mentioned to her that there is a place in Morton that sounds like a perfect place to go on such a dreary day. After arriving and being warmed up by the friendly staff and room temperature, we looked over the menus and took a few minutes to decide. I settled on the Turkey Bacon Swiss sandwich that came with a pickle. I don’t remember what my friend ordered but we decided to split a delicious-looking cinnamon scone/muffin. I ordered just a plain black coffee to go with everything.

I do remember being slightly confused by the ordering process. Unfortunately, I don’t have any interior photos to help jog my memory on why it was different. But after some friendly help by the staff, we were able to place our orders and took a seat. I can’t remember if we had to get up and get the food when it was ready or if they brought it out to you. Either way, the wait time wasn’t long at all.

Finally, it was time to dig in to the food, coffee and dessert. While the presentation of the food was a bit lacking (as seen in the photos below), the food and quality were anything but. Each bite was like unlocking flavors made up of premium ingredients and expert chef hands. This was one of the best Club-type sandwiches I had in a long time. My friend was equally happy with her food as well. It came time to split the cinnamon baked good and that was also delicious. While it didn’t quite hit the same high notes as our main course, it was still delicious after our main meal. As for the coffee, what is there to say about plain black coffee. It was warm, delicious and did it’s job. Nothing fancy nor exotic. Just some plain ol black coffee. Granted, it wasn’t your bottom-shelf variety but it wasn’t anything to write home about.

After we sat there with full bellies and spiked blood sugar levels, we lamented the fact that is was so warm and cozy in Great Harvest but miserable and dreary outside. We finally mustered up the courage to leave… despite our full...

Love great harvest bread co. Just putting this on here to make others aware. I went in and got a “oatmeal chocolate chip cookie” & on the packaging it lists the ingredients - well, nowhere in that list did it mention the cookie has nuts, I just happened to notice when I was eating it that it did so I called them to let them know and the girl I spoke to acted confused as to why I would call and let her know that (she seemed like a young girl). I’m lucky that I am not allergic but I buy their cookies all the time for my child as well so my fear was that someone would do the same except they or their child would be allergic and have a reaction… pretty serious if you ask me. I used to be a baker and it’s important that you include that nuts are in a product to prevent that from happening. I mean someone could literally sue them for that if they got that cookie and had a reaction. Anyways, for those of you who are allergic, just be cautious and I would make sure to ask them if...

I loved this place but it has gone down. We came at 1pm, well after the lunch rush, and there were two tables occupied. Order 2 ham & cheese pannis, 2 drinks and 1 bag of chips and it was $29. I thought well should be good! I was disappointed because I could have made it myself at home. The flavor was good but the portion was skimpy. Then went to get drinks and we had to ask them to fill the ice, Pepsi and root beer…all were out. Dirty dish bin was over flowing and unoccupied tables had not been cleaned. I used the bathroom and the toilet paper roll was on the floor and trash was overflowing, too. This used to be a great...
