Great Harvest Bread Co. — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

Hate to do it, but after my reserved sourdough loaves keep getting given away, when I say “PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM AWAY, I will ABSOLUTELY show up on either Friday or Saturday” That is my word, and I have done so twice now and both times I get “we never heard from you, so we gave it away”. I have never not shown up on either Friday or Saturday. They are kind enough to offer to reserve them on Thursday, and I appreciate and commend them for that service. However, what’s the point if they just give it away and claim you never followed up? I am always able to pick them up Friday or Saturday, and it is always communicated up front. This time I asked ok, well do you have others that are reserved? Maybe it is my turn to get one and someone else can receive the bad news instead of bread. Never seems to turn out in my favor. No one stands to gain anything from leaving a (deserved) negative review with a bread company, but I have never had this issue with any other business when you give someone your word. Hopefully this helps anyone from being let down in this same fashion. The product is worth the money, no complaints on price point as with other reviews here. I would genuinely love to know the magic words it takes for someone else to sweet talk them into giving away someone’s reservation. At the end of the day, it’s just bread and business, nothing personal or worth losing sleep over. Hopefully your harvest experience is more...

I love Great Harvest—all the baked goods sold there and their typically friendly staff (particularly the owners)—and I have gladly supported their small business for at least 25 years. However, I encountered an employee today who seemed less than enthusiastic to see me walk into the empty shop or to assist me, and who pointed out at check-out that I could “tip the crew” (for pulling my own 2 loaves of bread off the shelves, apparently) and then said nothing at all after I finished paying for my purchase. My sincere “tip” is to treat others as you wish to be treated. I hope the employee was just having an off day and that the owners might reel in the ask for tips (unless employees have prepared food from their menu for a customer). If employees feel they need to ask for tips with each purchase of a loaf of bread, it’s concerning. Hoping my next visit is more of a typically...

Let me say that I love to review places with only the truth and my personal experiences..Today myself and my neighbor decided to go here. I want to say that as a black woman I felt so much love and peace here. I know it's about the food, but the presence in this place is awesome. We were given fresh bread with butter on it to taste and the variety here of ready made soups, breads, muffins and brownies😵‍💫, these brownies are mesmerizing. I absolutely love them. The staff both black and white which does not matter, but needs to be admired by how the love of people can bring blessings and food to a bowl full of treasures. This place is worth a thousand words. Plus it's so clean and the customers who come here are so sweet and friendly...I felt like I was back home and it gave me so much peace. Thank you...
