Great Harvest Bread Co.
I’m a bread person. I would rather eat bread than dessert. Yeah, call me strange but I’ve been known to skip dessert for a good loaf of bread. All to myself. Eaten in one seating. I can smell bread from a mile away. Another alternative to Star Provisions and Alon’s (though not in the same caliber) is Great Harvest Bread Co.
Great Harvest boasts of using 5 simple ingredients to make their breads in-store: whole-wheat flour, filtered water, fresh yeast, salt, and something sweet. All the breads are pretty good so it just really depends on what your bread preference is. I love simple yeasty breads with plain butter so baguettes, sourdough, and white bread do it for me. But aside from breads, the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are amazingly delicious, as well as their cakes, scones, and muffins. Free samples are always available and you can taste any bread and spread
sold in store just by asking.
Insider tip:
Each location’s selection varies and have a bread schedule that differ from each other. Baguettes are usually only available on Saturdays and are gone by noon.

Yum! No, you are not weird for liking bread that much - or at least, you are no weirder than me.
I’ll have to write an article about Sol Breads here in Brisbane - they make an Olive and Thyme bread which has actual half-olives baked into the loaf.
It’s A$ 6 a loaf though - ordinary white bread here is $1.50 - $2.50 a loaf or so, and even the quality bread in supermarkets is only $4.50 or thereabouts.
But it is so worth it. It’s all real sourdough as well, no yeast (not that I mind yeast bread either).
