The inviting aroma of homemade bread in the oven will immediately taunt your senses when you step into the Great Harvest Bread Company, either in the Des Moines store or at the Clive location. An old fashion bakery menu, friendly service from owners Julia and Brian Borchardt, and ever-changing list of breads will turn you into a regular customer of this family owned business.
The Des Moines store (located on the corner of 28th Street and Ingersoll Avenue), features different fresh baked breads every day. In the month of April, you will find tasty treats such as cheese, whole grain, fruit, and cinnamon breads. You can also appease your sweet tooth with their selection of sweet breads and cookies. Details on the daily schedule and current menu of specialty baked goods can be found on the website.
At 12851 University Ave in Clive, all the same delicious homemade breads are available as at the Des Moines store, with the addition of hot and cold deli-style sandwiches. Specialties such as chicken salad, peanut butter & jelly, Panini sandwiches, and several classics are made fresh when ordered. Limited seating is available, so pick-ups are recommended. Homemade jams, unique coffee, flavored honey, and other baking items are also for sale at both locations.
What makes the Great Harvest Bread Company unique is their baking process. Every morning whole wheat flour is ground right in the bakery, and all breads are free of processed ingredients. This makes for the best tasting, natural homemade bread.
