Vegan Options at Great Harvest Bread Company (Updated 2024)

Vegan Options at Great Harvest Bread Company

The vegan options at Great Harvest Bread Company aren’t as good as you would think for a bakery and cafe. This is mostly due to the fact that Great Harvest uses an egg wash on their breads.

They do have a Vegan Whole Wheat Bread though, a couple of other goodies, and a sandwich. So, you may not have a huge selection of options, but there are a few different items you can choose from.


Great Harvest Bread Company Vegan Options


*Nutrition information will vary from bakery to bakery, we suggest confirming with your local bakery for the most accurate nutrition, ingredient, and allergen information.

Breads*

  • Vegan Whole Wheat Bread

-> According to Great Harvest, they “often include an egg wash on our breads” which may be why many of their breads are not vegan-friendly. Also, per Great Harvest you should “Ask your local bakery or bakery cafe if they use an egg wash or any other animal products in their baked goods to ensure you are getting a vegetarian/vegan item.”

Goodies*

  • Chocolate Brownie Muffin
  • Chocolate Brownie Teacake

Cafe Menu*

  • Veggie Three Seed Hummus on Vegan Whole Wheat Bread

The Sesame Portobello Grain Bowl on the cafe menu contains honey.

As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.
