normally love my Panera lunch, but on a recent visit to this Villages shop, I was really disappointed. First of all, the 2 items I wanted were not available.(ancient grains salad, or spinach salad, and French onion soup.) I chose the quinoa salad and vegetable/pesto soup instead. All of the“goodies” in the salad were on the bottom, & the greens were bitter, The dressing was also on the bottom, & not mixed up. I did mix it all up, but the flavor was not as good as their other salads. DITCHTHISSALAD. Bring back ancient grains and spinach salads! As for the soup… veggies overcooked & mushy. The table next to me said the same. I won’t order that one again!

Really pricy. The coffee is not as good as Dunkin donuts. I have found yesterday’s pastries on top and in the front of the rack.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner — there’s always something new and delicious at Panera Bread in the Villages. It’s casual and inviting and the coffee is excellent! Great place to meet friends to catch up!

I generally like Panera Bread. The food is consistently good. The U Pick 2 is probably one of my favorite quick lunches. I usually get the French Onion soup and the Sierra turkey sandwich on tomato basil bread, which still counts as a café item. I love the muffies(tops of muffins only, an amazing idea) and the bear claws. The green ice tea is quite thirst-quenching on any day. The clientele at this Panera is very different from Paneras of my past. Most usually have students scattered throughout on their laptops utilizing the free wifi, people grabbing lunch on their breaks and some just chatting over coffee. But this one seemed more like an old Italian deli that you might find on a street corner in Little Italy. The outside tables(especially in the morning) usually have older men hanging outside smoking cigarettes and talking about the old days. It makes this Panera a little more charming and different from you regular run of the mill Panera.

We like Panera… unfortunately, there isn’t a WORSE example of the«tweenagers» run facilities in The Villages… It amazes us, how and WHY the owners put a bunch of minimally-trained kids in charge of multi-million dollar investments and expect something good to result? Most of the menu items are prepared from frozen supplier stuff… which is OK, just nothin great… Service is non-existent. Coffee was acidic because it was so old. We watched the hired help playing grab ass in the back while we were there. The ONLY reason Panera survives is because of their hours and location.
