Harvest Moon Bakery

When you begin your quest for the perfect doughnut, you begin here. This is a small family owned and operated bakery in Fort Smith Arkansas of all places. It is also apparently, the home of the “Halo” doughnut which is quite possibly the most amazing thing you will ever eat. Have one plain, cinnamon and sugar, chocolate glazed, or the most perfect of all- the Maple Halo. It’s a doughnut. It’s a croissant It’s thousand layers of pastry topped with maple is unreal. This will stay #1 on my list until someone somewhere can improve on this. The rest of the choices I’ll mention now- the artisan breads they offer are vast. I couldn’t think of a kind of bread they did not make. The croissants for breakfast are fabulous. The pies and cupcakes don’t seem to stay on the rack long enough to cool. They have Keto and Vegan options for those people who follow these diets. All-in-all for my travels across this great land this ranks Number 1 top bakery I’ve come across. I’m still looking…

One of the best bakeries I've ever been to anywhere! They were rated as having the best donuts in the Ft Smith area (the "Halos") and after eating a few of them I really know why - they're incredible! Best donuts I've ever had! Their other pastries, such as the danishes and cinnamon rolls are also awesome and some of the best. Their blueberry fritter is particularly good - very sweet and strong blueberry flavor - if you like blueberries and you like donuts, this is by far the best! Their pizzas are also exceptionally good - you can tell it's all made from scratch with fresh ingredients and the high quality nuanced flavors really demonstrate that! A forewarning: their cinnamon rolls are GIGANTIC! One of them is basically a whole meal (and has a good bit of strong cinnamon flavor that's just perfect - unlike some other places that are more like a plain roll and skimp on the cinnamon filling - you don't have to worry about that here!). Some of their items are slightly more expensive than other bakeries in the area, but you *definitely* get your money's worth with the awesome taste and large sizes (of some of the items)! Considering everything they do is from scratch, it's actually amazing their prices aren't higher! In many bakeries I've been to in other urban areas with comparable quality (though some of the items still aren't as good as here - particularly those halo donuts!), you usually wind up paying a lot more. This place is definitely worth it! Everything they make is good and if you're anywhere in the area and looking for some good baked items, you can't do better than going to Harvest Moon Bakery!

Their halos are awesome. Croissant/donuts. Customer service is great. Sour dough bread is awesome. Some days they’re closed unexpectedly which sucks when you drive 30 minutes. Their baked goods are one of the best in town the only thing I’d say stay away from is the pizza. Really bland. Kind of high for what you get really subpar on just that 1 item. Everything else is great. Only reason they aren’t 5 star

Their bakery is beyond awesome with a wide variety of great pastries, breads, and confections. I went in looking for the real kolaches, not the pig in the blankets that's passed off in this area as a kolache. While they didn't have them (the search continues), they did have quite a few treats I couldn't pass up.

Today was my first time at Harvest Moon Bakery and it exceeded my expectations. The place was nice and open and I loved that you could see what was going on behind the counter. I got a little bit of everything and it was delicious. The Southwestern croissant was amazing and spicy, the kids loved the cinnamon roll, the almond croissant was heavenly, the Danish was awesome. The atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. I will be back!
