Great Harvest of Newtonville — Restaurant in Newton

Will never go back. Wanted to go out and get Christmas cookies instead of making them. Google search. Thought I had found a spot. It was only 4 & the sign said they close @630. Door closed. Being ignored because it was only 4pm. Finally- like he was doing me a favor, a guy starts walking towards the door after saying it was closed. Too late. It’s the yr of Covid- guessing it wasn’t your best yr. Rule of hospitality: never ignore guests. Will spend $ elsewhere & never go back, again.

After leaving this review the owner replied & made sure i would not be able to reply. Being a first responder we work 6 days a week, making the same as burger flippers (yes, we are well aware we signed up for this). The sign on the door said they closed at 6. This was my ONLY evening off for the week. Had they updated their sign with current holiday hrs (closing @4) this wouldn’t have been an issue. I was going to give the employee a $50 because (not that, according to the owner, an EMT would have a clue- being that we deal with Covid every. Single. Day. ) I’m sure he would have appreciated it. Don’t worry though— a RN @ a hospital gave me her daughter’s home made cookies that she was too full to eat. After reading the owner’s stated sentiment- Lol.. don’t you worry!! Be sure I will not be attempting to visit the bakery.. lol.. again....

I’m very disappointed They gave me an order that was already made before I got there. Who know since when it was made. There were two different kinda bread one side rounded the other square shape. I wanted the sandwich toasted it was very moist, broke as soon as I grab it. I walked in and in two minutes I was out there door they didn’t care at all they just handed the food and that was it client at not very important at least from what I have experienced the fewer time I been there. I WILL NEVER GO...

I have bought bread from Great Harvest, ordered bread from them during the holidays, and I've purchased their bread at several farmer's markets, and it has to be the best bread that my family has ever tasted! So much healthier and tastier than any store bought bread! Always super fresh. The owners are always nice and friendly, and they keep it cleaner than other bakeries I've been too, that's for sure. The only negative to this post is that I wish I lived...
