Best Bread Bakery. Great Harvest is by far the best place in town to get fresh, wholesome bread and other baked goodies. The wheat is ground fresh daily,and the parent company is known ofr giving to their community. The bakery is simple, clean and doesn't bother with fussy baked goods, just wholesome, delicious, simple products. Try the Tampa Herb bread, a rich,nutty, whole wheat loaf with savory herbs,perfeect for dinner.

Free, piping-hot bread-tasting bar puts those little spoons at Baskin-Robbins to shame.. The Scene
A clean, spare interior reveals a bustling open kitchen and racks of just-from-the-oven loaves. A butcher-block "tasting bar" is stacked with loaves and ramekins of butter and jam. Slather some butter on that sample of warm cheddar-garlic bread and get a preview of Keri Eisenbeis and Michael Matthews' "rising" stars. The bakery is hip, lively and fun; an easy place to blow (and eat) a lot of dough. Employees are earnest and enthusiastic.

The Food
Most of the breads don't need a lot of condiments or fussy spreads. There's the seasonal white-chocolate-cherry swirl bread in time for a sweet Valentine's Day; an addictive spinach-feta round that eats like a meal; and a simple nine-grain loaf packed with seeds, nuts and other wholesome goodies. In addition to breads, every day you can try a different array of sweet baked goods, from pumpkin muffins to berry-cream cheese scones and incredible double chocolate biscotti.
