Great Harvest Bakery Cafe
We operate Great Harvest Bakery Cafes that serve fresh baked, whole-wheat breads, baked goods, soups, salads, sandwiches, and related menu items. Our cafes are designed for customers who want freshly prepared bread and fast-casual meals in a bakery setting. Bread is baked on-site, and locations may also sell fresh baked bread to local wholesale and mail order accounts when permitted. We use proprietary recipes, distinctive fixtures and decor, and standardized operating, training, and promotional methods across the system. We also support the business with a research and development and training facility in Dillon, Montana.
