Panera Bread

This is the best Panera I’ve ever been too their service was awesome thanks CJ for treating me with great customer service keep up the good work I’ll definitely be returning to this location

Had a great Greek salad. Very fresh, and good ingredients.
I was surprised to find that they deliver your food directly to the table for you. No more waiting in line at the window to get your food. Kinda handy.
Per usual, coffee was fresh and a little above average for a ship that doesn’t specialize in coffee… But then I’m a bit of a coffee snob :-)

I’ve increased my rating from a 4 to a 5 after coming here regularly since September. The employees are kind, attentive and add to the experience. I’m partial to the night time staff. Daytime staff is also good. Never been here in the morning.
This location is very busy at lunchtime. Once the lunchtime rush is over, the customers come in waves. I can’t speak to what it’s like in the morning.
The food is always good and served quickly. With a MyPanera card you receive free food/​drink or discounts after every 8 visits. There is free WiFi, plenty of seating, a good mix of music and it’s just a nice place to eat, have something to drink (no alcohol) and spend some time. It’s really nice having a Panera in my part of town.
I like Panera in general and I especially like this location.

Mady loved the butter noodles and ate the entire bowl. It’s a first for the picky eater
I loved the edamame bowl
The mac n cheese is divine
Everything g was just super yummy
Moms favorite… I would have had the tuna sandwich with her by no bread now
Oh mom

One of the best paneras I’ve been to! Self serve lemonade? Say whaaaatttt!
I still need to practice my 60 – 40 though! but you now how it is with restaurants and lemonade! For a fairly new place it seems like the workers know what they’re doing, they keep the place clean and they actually added some seats by the door. I suggest trying their mac and cheese it’s «actually good» not too creamy like most oh and pair that with cherry pastry and boom you’re panera experienced!!!

Dear panera it won’t kill you to serve better portions. Giving this place a one star because apparently ½ a sandwich is less than ½ of what an ACTUAL sandwich is suppose to be. Not to mention my broccoli cheddar soup was COLD. Super disappointed with this place, girl at the register was kind of rude I feel like she over charged me for my meal! won’t be coming back here again!!!

Panera vs. Paradise bakery.
Paradise wins from an ease of ordering standpoint. Panera has an odd order taking system that prevents salads from being made in real time.
Quality and taste — this is a draw. Very similar items, quality of ingredients similar.
Overall ease of use — Paradise wins. Paradise provides a 16 oz (complimentary) cup for water. Panera provides a dixie sized cup — think mouth wash sized. Most Paradise have two beverage dispensing stations. Panera has one and the lines can move slowly. The position of this locations beverage center is in one of the main isles — lots of «whoops» «sorry» and «excuse me» going on @ Panera.
Best of luck Panera.

I tend to be extremely long-​winded with my reviews, but I was so tempted to just write «Yup, it’s a Panera Bread alright» and leave it at that. What more really needs to be said here? This is a true test of my nature.
So yeah, it’s pretty much what you’ve come to love or loathe about any Panera Bread. Nothing on the menu is particularly ground-​breaking, but if you like soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries you’ll probably be able to find something to enjoy here. Lately I’ve been a big fan of their Soba Noodle Broth Bowl with chicken. I’ve always enjoyed the flavor of Panera’s «Organic, Cage Free, Antibiotic Free, ‘we swear this chicken lived a long and fruitful life’» Chicken, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the buckwheat soba noodles as well. On other days where I don’t feel so soupy, I’ll do a pick two with the greek salad and turkey chili. I don’t even really find either of these to stand out to be honest, but they’re relatively «healthy», run of the mill versions of these dishes that satisfy my hunger and just get the day going again. What an endorsement, I know. But that’s sort of what you’re expecting when you come to Panera isn’t it? I don’t prepare my tastebuds for a shocking flavor explosion when I step through the door, it’s just going through the motions of ‘Eat, Sleep, Go to work, Repeat’, but it works. Maybe that’s just because I skip the bakery section.
For food I was leaning on just giving a 3 star review, but Panera’s somewhat recent roll out of their Rapid Pickup option is just so phenomenal that I bumped it up a star. You can order online (and it’s very well designed and intuitive), and drive to your local Panera where you order is just waiting for you on a shelf system. Now I don’t want to think about the implications of my food order sitting on a shelf for minutes before I arrive in this mad, mad world we live in, so I block those out and just grab it and go. Minus human interaction, plus one star.
In conclusion I’d like to rant a bit about Panera’s incessant removal of my favorite items from their menu. I loved the Spinach Power salad. Gone. I loved the entire Power salad «hidden» menu. Gone. I know the broth bowl is next. I just know it.

This location just opened in September 2015, and it’s a very much needed addition to what used to be an intersection with few options for a bite to eat!
The food is delicious and really reasonably priced! I definitely suggest the Rapid Pick-​Up ordering option online for a nearly stress free experience. You can just walk in, grab your food and go (or sit down if you can find a spot). They mark your food order on the receipt in super large letters so there is no confusion, but there’s a staff member at the pick-​up window to assist with orders. The staff is very friendly!
Because it’s so closely located to a few other newly opened quick-​bite options in a very busy executive office location, this place is EXTREMELY busy between 11:45am-1pm during the work week, so go before or after that time frame to get your food in a timely fashion.
The cons are few: Extremely limited parking and the «flow» of this Panera location isn’t the best. You pick up your order in the back of the restaurant, almost where you’d think bathrooms would be, and then you weave your way back to the front to exit.

OMG finally a Panera by my work. I have been here twice and always such a great experience. They greeted me when I walked in and the staff members are so nice !!! Seriously beyond excited and really happy to have had great experiences so far. I’ll most definitely be coming here twice a week

Where to start…
No prices on their paper menu; and limited prices on the wall menu. Impossible to determine the cost of several items, including a fountain beverage or bags of chips.
Employees may need additional training. Sandwich I selected came with «sandwich sauce» and cashier had to leave the register and walk into kitchen to ask if it included mayonnaise.
8 — 10 vacant table in dining room, but all except one had dirty dishes (not paper plates, so a busser has to remove) remaining from previous customers. Table where I sat had grease stains, crumbs and food particles from previous diner. No napkin dispensers apparent in dining room, so couldn’t wipe down the table myself, until I got 2 napkins delivered with my food. Very unsanitary. Your menus have «Food should be clean.» — the dining room should be, too.
Food runner who brought my food said «Sorry about all of the plates, we’ve been really busy.» Really? Too busy to clear tables?
Beverage bar had non-​working lemonade dispenser. It was filled with lemonade but would not dispense product. I asked an employee for assistance and all she said was, sorry, it’s broken. A second dispenser labeled green tea was empty.
Best thing I can say is that my food was good (Italian Combo Sandwich). May or may not be back.

This location is new judging from the recently issued health certificate on the wall (which they had an A) and the staff were really friendly. It was also very clean but kind of hard to get to because of all the traffic on the strip. I got here around 3 and it wasn’t busy. My salad was crisp and there was not one wilted leaf. I’d come back again because I love the food at panera and this location doesn’t seem to be any different than the others.

Absolutely great place to eat a great a clean meal! I usually order the Greek salad with oven roasted turkey. I don’t know of any order place I could get this meal. If I forget to prep my food I know I can get a lean meal here!

AMAZING, KIND, RESOURCEFUL people making wonderful fresh food. I had lunch here today, left my purse with $ 150 cash, license and credit card. Caitlin and her beautiful staff held it for me, found me on Facebook and I got EVERYTHING back.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I will forever be a loyal and appreciative patron!

This is a new location, so one has to make allowances for inexperienced staff. It needs a strong manager to direct these new employees. I have stopped in several times in the past two weeks and always had a problem or two. For example, after I ordered yesterday’s lunch, i took my seat and watched the board for the name of whose order they were preparing and whose was ready, thinking that was the «eat in» system. My name didn’t appear, so I went to the pick up area and saw the person who had taken my order chatting with another server. I spied my order (soup) on the counter and tried to retrieve it. She said that she had been waiting to bring my my order because she had forgotten to give my the vibrating pager associated with my order. When I finally sat back down, the soup was almost cold. Other locations have the flow worked out much better. Also, the small size is a drawback. Things will most likely improve as the staff figure out their roles.

This location is not like the other places. They ran out of espresso so only decaf is available then bagels are out so we ordered sandwiches then after waited 15 min the order still came out wrong.

It pays to be nice and understanding. I went to this location about 2 days after opening, and they had a huge backup. The wait time ended up being between 45 – 60 minutes. Of course people were getting mad and demanding managers as if they completely forgot the meaning of compassion. The workers already looked stressed and they were being super nice to everyone, apologizing frequently. My lunch hour ended and I needed to go back to work, so the manager gave me a full refund. After talking with her and encouraging her brace herself for the people who are going to give her crap for what happened, she assured me to return and she can help me out. I went today and luckily she was the one who helped me. She comped my order. And although I didn’t order a drink the previous time, she gave me a free drink. PLUS, a dessert of my choice. To society: things happen. I’m sure your attitude and threats about calling cooperate when they are trying to hard to please everyone doesn’t help speed up the process. My food today was fast and delicious. Good karma is the best!

Experience: My friend and I decided to stop in for dinner at this new location. I’ve been to Panera’s all over the country and they have such amazing breads, soups, salads, and sandwiches. It was Wed @6pm.
Facility: It’s seems to be a bit small compared to other Panera’s I’ve been to, but maybe it’s the layout. It was very clean as its a brand new location.
Service: Well, I ordered my meal and when I tried to pay, it declined my card. I was using my Discover, which I pay off each month. The attendant ran it again, and said it was declined, I told her that it was definitely not the card. Of course now I’m mortified because everyone in ear shot thinks I don’t pay my bills now. The attendant didn’t know what to do, so she started to go get the manager. I didn’t want to hold up anyone behind me, so I ended up paying with Amex and standing off to the side to call my card company to find out why it was declined. Meanwhile the manager stepped up and I told him how embarrassing the situation was that their machine did not take my card. His answer was that they don’t judge people. Really??? There’s nothing to judge!!! Eventually the folks from Discover said there weren’t any problems with the card, and said they don’t even see the «declined». They said they should have manually entered the card number, which of course they did not.
I mentioned this to the manager too, and he just answered they could have done that. I guess it’s just new people, new store, but unfortunately at the expense of my embarrassment. :(He did say he would mention it to their IT too, but I didn’t have confidence he really will.
He did check on my friend’s food and brought her a free piece of bread since they didn’t have croutons. That was nice.
Other than that, the attendant that came by, I think her name was Mykayla, she was a sweetie! She chatted with us and cleared our plates with a super positive disposition. We really liked her.
Food: What can I say… it’s Panera! The food is good. This time I got the pick 2 and a drink, and a plain bagel for tomorrow.
Winter squash soup — ⁴⁄₅ — thick, creamy and a tad sweet as squash can be.
Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich — 3.5÷5 — a little too runny, but the flavor was very good. I took one bite and juice went all over. My friend laughed and said it was a tad wet for a chicken salad. Maybe it sat too long and the grapes and celery sweat a little too much. It still tasted good.
Bread — ⁵⁄₅ — they have the best bread ever!!! Crispy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. LOVE!!!
Overall: Panera is always one of those spots I will return no matter how the service is, because it’s just Yum! Although, if I ever have a credit card issue at this particular spot again, I’ll avoid this spot and go to one of the others in town.

We just had a great experience with the staff at this Panera. Even though we had some trouble with mobile ordering on their app (1^st world problems!), all the issues and minor mix ups from mobile ordering were resolved by the staff quickly. They made it right, and even gave us a gift card and cookie for the trouble. It’s the small gestures that make all the difference. These guys are top notch and are empowered to «make it right.» Of course the food was amazing as well and came to our table very quickly. Can’t say enough great things about this location, and about Panera in general. If only we could get Panera up in Salt Lake City!
