Review of Great Harvest Bakery and Café

502 Burnett Ave, Ames, IA 50010

Overall Rating

Review


Okay this place was so good! It looks like a little hole in the wall from the outside but it is actually a decent sized place. Hours are 7am-2pm. They let the food speak for themselves. Most everything to drink is bottled except for coffee and free water.

Everyone who works there is very knowledgeable about gluten allergies. I had a denver omelet without cheese. It is a shared kitchen but they specifically clean everything before making anything when someone tells them its a food allergy.

If you call ahead they can make any of their baked goods gluten free. I did not because my family decided to try this on a whim but I was able to have gluten free toast, frosted sugar cookies, and a brown butter chocolate chip cookies.

The toast was actually toasted and crunchy on the outside while soft in the middle. Will be eating here again.
