Panera Bread

This is a typical panera. Good, reliable food. Certain cashiers could be a bit more friendly. I’ve also had them forget my drink a few times. But it’s usually just the one cashier. Everyone else seems very polite and friendly

We are a fan of panera. It is a great place for a quick meal even though it is kinda pricey.
We prefer to get lunch here because there is more a variety of healthy choices on the lunch menu. We like to do a You Pick 2 combo. We always switch up what we get so it would be difficult to write about the meals. But all in all definitely always pleased with our choices.
The staff here are friendly and always have a smile on their faces. The food is made fresh to order so sometimes it might take a little bit of time but no worries.
The restaurant is clean and their is seating available both outside and in. We will continue to go to panera for meals.
Compared to other fast-​food places, this is a top ranked one

Staff were friendly enough, but the service was a bit slow considering they weren’t very busy (there were maybe 3 or 4 people in the place total) and the breakfast sandwich I ordered was a bit slapdash (wildly unevenly cut bagel, ingredients falling out, etc)…

Clean throughout although there are some damaged booths. Food has always been fresh and orders accurate. Speed of taking and filling orders is excellent. This location has a huge waiting area near the order queue and an exit to the side in case the front is busy. Staff is friendly and professional.

I love everything about Panera. They food is delicious. The employees are excellent, and the place is always clean. You have to try the Mac and Cheese. It’s amazing! The Caesar salad is awesome and fresh. The desserts are delicious. My go-​to is the bear claw. I usually go by myself since it’s a mini vacation for me.

Panera is a franchise type soup, salad and sandwich place that does not offer table service. You order from a wall menu then bus your own meal to a table. They offer a selection of pastry and breads, bagels and coffees including cappuccinos lattes and frozen drinks. The atmosphere is quite airy with sunny windows and small booths and tables in several rooms, perfect for a quiet chat with a friend or a group meal. The place is kept clean and they have a nice gas fireplace in the center to sit near in chilly weather. Everything here is assembled with fresh ingredients. I do not believe that the soups are made fresh on premises. I think they are purchased in huge sealed bags and reheated, but they taste fine. The sandwiches are assembled from precut meats and grilled, salads assembled from fresh lettuce and other ingredients. The quality is good and the people work hard to get your food out fast. Their selection of iced teas is unique as I know nowhere else carries acai berry or hibiscus tea. If you are vegan or veg you have somewhat of a better selection than most places as they carry a vegan soup nearly every day, black bean, veg or squash and it is labelled on the menu with a green V. The salads are fresh and you can request they drop cheeses. They have vegetable sandwiches. Still no soy or almond milk, just bovine, but sugar helps. With each meal you get a quarter of a very crusty bread baguette, to dip in soup and they sell them in their bakery section. I asked once what they do with unsold bakery items and they don’t dumpster it, they donate it to a local food pantry or church group.
I’ll continue to eat here.

Wondering if the only other reviewer gets the concept of Panera? Yes, the prices are high, but does she realize that just about every time on the menu is made in store. So you are getting what you pay for, which is fresh made items.
Anyway, speaking on Panera, this location is on par with all other locations that you can visit. With it being one of the newer locations, it’s fairly clean and up kept. Service is decent, orders are put together in a timely manner. Warmer months are better to visit as there is seating outside. This makes a decent enough place to have dinner and a movie at. The theater is within walking distance from here.
In this part of Johnstown, it’s one of the better places to eat. Even if it seems like the prices are «WAAAAY OVERPRICED!»

WAAAAY OVERPRICED! For the quality of the food, prices are very high. Sandwich over $ 9? Crazy. The soup was good, but again, too expensive. And you don’t even get waited on in this place.
