great harvest bread co. has something for everyone- they have many samples of every bread they are currently selling, their breads and pastries are always fresh-baked, and they are just plain yummy. their classic honey wheat bread is my personal favorite, and they always seem to have that. on other visits i have sampled all sorts of different breads, of which my favorite was a cinnamon roll bread, which was basically a slice of a loaf-shaped cinnamon roll. for your kids, they have free, scrumptious, kid-friendly breadsticks, frequent coloring "contests" where your kid can color a picture and then get a giant cookie when they turn in their artwork, which then gets posted in the bakery, and a basket of books and toys. If you are in the area, i suggest stopping by! they also sell some granolas and such, and i think maybe some jams and jellies.
