Great Harvest Bread Co. - Fresh Baked Goodness and Satisfying Sandwiches

I work in Morton and this is my absolute favorite place to get lunch. The sandwiches are good, but my favorite is their homemade soup! It's honestly outstanding and a nice sized cup with a big piece of fresh bread is under $5! The staff is also exceptionally friendly, despite the sometimes crazy lunch rush. I know it's a franchise operation, but they really make it feel like a local deli.

Best panini this side of the river! Fresh ingredients and great bread!

Very friendly staff. The place feels like a local restaurant which is good in today’s world. They only serve sandwiches for lunch I believe. That in itself is fine, but they don’t have that large of a selection of sandwiches to choose from, thus why it gets four starts. If they added two or three more sandwich options I would easily rate this 5 stars. Great place overall!

The staff were nice. The food was great! We got to sit outside on a sunny spring day!

Review Date: May 2nd, 2016 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 bellies protesting.

The baked goods, the sandwiches, and the treats - always delicious. Staff is always pleasant and welcoming.

The pumpkin chocolate chip bread is amazing! They also have really good breakfast panini sandwiches as well. Nice modern atmosphere, fast friendly service. Prices reasonable. I would definitely recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch!

Great place to grab a bistro style lunch! So many options and varieties, there’s definitely something for everyone. I had the spicy apple grilled cheese and it was 5/5! Will definitely be going back (tomorrow!)
