Great Harvest Bread Co - Cary
1240 NW Maynard Rd, Cary, NC
Crema's Take
“This Cary bakery is a genuine neighborhood gem where the real star is the fresh-baked bread and pastries—think exceptional scones, muffins that locals rave about, and cinnamon rolls that have kids coming back for more. The warm, kind staff creates an inviting family-friendly atmosphere perfect for a quick grab of lunch or treats, with their turkey sandwiches on house-made bread being the kind of simple, satisfying option that turns casual visitors into regulars. While service can occasionally be slow during busy moments, the quality of their baked goods and the genuine care they put into each order more than make up for it.”

Great experience with catering! Food was delicious and everyone enjoyed. Only downside was that it took a while for me to be helped when I stepped inside and was kind of ignored by staff. When they did notice me (7ish mins) they were very friendly.
Quite possibly the best bakery experience that I have ever had! There are many reasons why this place is my new favorite; the staff is kind and create the most delicious breads, muffins and cakes to name a few. The energy inside is great where you can listen to some classic 80s tunes while you munch the grindage [❤️ Pauly Shore reference for those who don't speak 80's]... Jenn is the owner and she is a brilliant baker who found the best way to source all natural ingredients locally while keeping the price in a perfect spot. No preservatives or un-pronounceable ingredients keep me very clean and clear feeling through my day. I've been coming daily and that's why I consider it the BEST! Feast your eyes upon my most delicious pixels of the grindage attached to the review!😌🫶🏽
Great bread and treats! The scones, muffins, and cinnamon rolls are my favorite. Particularly the chocolate chip scone and the apple cinnamon muffin when they have it. Also great sandwiches.
Updating my review as we are now pretty regular visitors to this Great Harvest. It has become our go-to for a good, fresh lunch with good value. Their turkey sandwich on fresh baked bread is our usual. The staff is friendly and you always feel welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating is great. Fresh brewed tea is good. Great spot to grab a special treat or fresh bread item. Love the seasonal items, and to buy bread or treats for gifts. Helpful staff. My grandmother was missing an item made in an out-of-state Great Harvest and they literally got the recipe and started making it upon her request. So cool of them!
Our family loves this bakery for the sweet treats. My favorite muffin is the chocolate strawberry, blueberry muffins, & salted Carmel cookies. Kids love the big cinnamon buns. If you aren’t in the mood for sweets the sandwiches are very good also…. Fresh bread with tasty ingredients! My favorite it the baja turkey sandwich
