Panera Bread

My grandma, mom and I wanted soup one night and wanted to try Panera bread for the first time (we have heard so much good things about their soup and salad). Keith was the guy who helped us out and he was great. He made us feel welcome, gave us an intro about panera and helped us decide which soups we wanted. He lets us try some of the soups and also gave us free pastries since it was our first time trying panera bread out. He had a great attitude and was very friendly. Great customer service. Keith is the guy to go see and talk to if you are at panera. My grandma, mom and I loved our experience out there all thanks to Keith! Thanks Keith and keep it up! :)

I had the bacon turkey bravo sandwich and broccoli cheese soup. She had Napa almond chicken salad sandwich.
The bread was a tomato basil, somewhat tasty but I won’t have it again, that’s just my taste issues though. Piled with turkey, Gouda cheese, lettuce and tomato and bacon Very good innards.
The broccoli cheese soup I would kill for, extreme yumminess.
The business itself is clean and looks to be kept that way always. The staff was extremely helpful and very patient.
We will return. The downside is children running uncontrollably as if we were in a Chucky cheese pizza joint. But that’s to be expected with a family restaurant especially if your accustomed to an adult atmosphere.
Highly recommended!

Ordered a dozen bagels for an early Seahawks game. I seem to have a fairly new employee waiting on me who was less than friendly. I got home to find my order short by three bagels. I called the store to request my bagels and to be retrieved at another time as the game was getting ready to start. Here comes the good part — the manager delivered the bagels to me and also threw in some cookies to make things right. I love panera bagels and cream cheese and really love outstanding customer service.

Good quick and friendly service sums it all up. I love Panera bread seems like I cannot get enough. Came here to pick up a dozen bagels for $ 6.99. Their bagel are made daily and are huge. Love them.
Ordered their usual breakfast sandwich and it’s always delicious.
This is the closest location to canada as of now.
Will come back for more goodies

Friendly efficient counter help. Had a breakfast treat bacon gruyère egg sandwich on gruyère bagel. So tasty and economical. Warmed and brought to table by smiling person. Sparkly clean premises. Self serve drinks condiments cutlery. Will return.

Great counter helpers. Best bread in town good prices. I get all my bread there for all my needs. Always get greeted by friendly staff. Thank you.

I’m surprised by the bad reviews of this Panera Bread location because I had an excellent experience. Maybe I was lucky, but I hope they always operate this way.
We were greeted by the staff at the counter and they were patient since this was our first visit. They have a huge selection and being the way I am, I wanted to try everything. I ended up ordering:
Soba Noodle Bowl with Chicken — healthy, filling and tasty. It wasn’t very Asian tasting, if that makes any sense, but I still liked it.
Roasted Turkey Avocado BLT — healthy, but still very tasty. Avocado was ripe, turkey wasn’t too dry, bacon added flavor and bread was fresh.
Bear Claw Pastry — not healthy, but who cares, it was freshly baked and delicious
The dining area was clean, bright and well maintained. It was comfortable and kid friendly. The staff came by to say hi to our daughter and later on again to offer us some cheeses soufflé samples. If I wasn’t so full, I would have ordered a full one as well.

I usually like most of the selections on the Panera menu… however…on a recent visit both my friend & I had the toasted cheese sandwich & acorn squash soup. Unless you LOVE VELVEETA (!) skip this sandwich. Both of us agreed it was the most tasteless excuse for a toasted cheese sandwich ever! 3 stars because the soup was excellent. Pick anything else.

Love the food but especially love the very pleasant staff. Everyone said hello, they were very respectful of my husbands military status. The pick 2 is awesome for indecisive people like me. I got pasta and a sandwich!

I try not to come to this location because the customer service is horrible. The people that should be helping are so busy talking to each other they don’t notice customer.
Eduardo who took our order didn’t get it right take to repeat myself 3 times and then still didn’t get it right. He didn’t apologize for his mistakes nor did his manager.
Don’t put people on a order selection if they can’t take an order plan and simple.
I love Panera bread the one in everett, lynnwood and woodinville have the best customer service why doesn’t this one.

We have been here several times now and have enjoyed it with no issues. For essentially a healthier fast food establishment it’s what you would expect.

Maybe it is just this location but I was very unimpressed. I femme bet Panera as having incredible bread, flavorful soups, and amazing sandwiches. It has been a few years since I had any so my wife and I went here. We both had half soup half sand which orders. Hers was average at best and mine, the black bean I make is significantly better. Their prices have also gone up.
I won’t be back to this location and I fear that Panera has lost its touch. I will try again sometime but will not go out of my way — a long fall from grace.

Nice new cozy décor, good menu, tasty selection. No one busing tables, many unclean tables, a shame turns the general feel into a hole in the wall. Advice to Pandera Corp get a manager who cares about your brand.
Coda: Bus boy suddenly appeared and cleaned away.

I will never go back to this place again. It’s next to the Costco we frequent, and have often thought it would be nice to drop in, so we did the other day. Right off the bat I wasn’t impressed. The staff seemed half asleep, lackluster, and not very helpful. When we said we had never been there before and asked what was good we got a noncommittal response that did not sell me on anything.
After we ordered and looked for a table to sit at it was obvious that most of them were dirty but finally found one that wasn’t too bad and wiped it down ourselves. The soda stand was also difficult to find and in an odd corner of the seating area. Our food arrived in less than two minutes … proof, in my mind, that what we were eating wasn’t entirely fresh. The cream soup was awful. It tasted like uncooked flour and not much else, we sent it back and traded it for the french onion which was equally bad. My sandwich was thrown together and the insides were half on the plate, it lacked seasoning. The tortellini wasn’t bad, but since I can assume they’re not hand-​rolling pasta back there (all they did was toss frozen pasta with cheese and herbs; which I could have done at home, but which was apparently worth ten dollars), I just can’t bring myself to really praise them for it.
Like I said, I won’t be back.

I’m a big fan when it’s high-​ceilings, spacious, & good-​quality breads/​pastries ;)
Have to give the Americans props for style & size, sure know how to make this place feel higher-​end even though it’s just basic panini sandwiches too, almost like a restaurant feeling but you pay at the front & wait to get it made before choosing your table; pretty well a QSR.
And the décor is quite Martha Steward-​like; probably a better place to bring a casual date here than Starbucks, a bit more privacy.
Good booth seating near the front.
Anyways, the pecan-​candied bun/​roll pretty tasty, not as sweet as initially thought, but fresh pecans no doubt. Blueberry muffin also a good choice too.
Friendly service.
Also sell yogurt smoothies but use a purée, no sugar-​free options here.
Patio seating probably popular when it’s sunny and warm.
So Californian ;)
