I like the food, so it gets a 2. However, it’s 500 degrees and the silverware is dirty, too.

Called in and spoke to the manager about my previous order where they left out the red onions and basil in my sandwich. The manager was accommodating and offered to replace my meal the next time I came in. I stopped in today and they replaced my meal with no questions asked, even offered me sides and a drink to add to my meal but I declined, I think it’s only right to replace the items that were incorrect. I’m a super happy customer now and I hope that the service continues to get better.

BP and I frequent this Panera Bread so I am surprised to see it without a review. on our most recent visit last week, BP ordered the sesame Asian chicken salad and I ordered mac and cheese in a bread bowl. BP loved his salad, but I was unsure where the sesame seeds were… Perhaps in the dressing? Other than that mystery, the salad was very tasty. The chicken was perfect and my favorite part. I expected it to be dry, just because it was cold and in a salad, but it was awesome. My mac and cheese bread bowl, ha ha ha, I did not know it could be done! The mac and cheese is so rich, creamy, and just a perfect pick-me-up. The pasta is cooked well and the accompanying white cheddar cheese sauce is FANTASTIC! I am drooling just thinking about it. My dad has a MyPanera card and BP and I give his phone number with our order and get to redeem his«prizes» like a free birthday pastry or $ 1 off of a soup. The receipts also tell us when the prize expires so we know when to come back by!

Disclaimer: I love me some Panera. For breakfast especially, but I can rock a frozen lemonade any time! Sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese? Yes please. Soufflé, with cheese or maybe bacon? Sure! Hands down, my absolute favorite is the Mediterranean egg white sandwich. Ahh I can taste it now. But today, trying to be healthy, I tried the Power Almond Quinoa Oatmeal. Meh. Panera’s regular oatmeal is tastier than this, but this definitely seemed healthier. As in, the almonds added crunch but not much taste. The quinoa was bland too. But I sure felt good afterwards! Next time, I will go back to my tried and true carb-heavy choices, thank you very much. So breakfast may not be healthy, but the salads are awesome. Leave off some dressing and choose a boring apple instead of a hunk of delicious sourdough as a side, and you’ve got a solid healthy lunch. Now back to my favorite topic, carbs. As in pastries. Chocolate pastry is tops, but the cupcakes, cookies, and scones are all delightful runners up. This location gets crowded at breakfast and lunch, but they always try to expedite. Managers work the registers, extra staff comes around to collect plates, etc. A for effort. And for the free wifi.

Este día tuve una mala experiencia en Panera Bread, fuimos con mi familia a consumir y nos atendió una joven y muy inquieta por que no nos podía entender nuestro inglés no había nadie que nos ayudara, se acerca una trabajadora y le hace gestos de incomodidad por que no nos apurábamos con nuestra orden, no habiendo personas después de nosotros para que ella sintiera presión de otros clientes, y luego se acerca otra trabajadora y le escribe la cajera un papel diciendo SHOOTME, nos sentimos mal es una acción descrimitativa hacia nosotros y en mis manos tengo ese papelito que ella escribió ya que lo recogí de donde ella lo había botado. No es la primera vez que visitamos ese restaurante pero no hemos quedado convidados a ir nuevamente.

Management is rude and unhelpful. They stopped serving a majority of kids meals. Disappointed. Not going back. I had been going here for years. They clearly do not want to be family friendly.

I’ve eaten here many times and it’s always pretty good. We got a baguette the other day and it was fresh and hot from the oven even when I got home. Yummy! Perfect for an Italian dinner or just for snacking.

Honestly, as Paneras go, this one is pretty average. What isn’t average is the Saturday morning crew of Donald and Mannie who man the front register. These guys are top notch! Even at the crack of dawn, these guys are on their game with great service and a positive attitude. They exemplify what service means, and should be commended for their excellent job!

Panera is a great company but the employees need some work. Came in and was looking at the breakfast menu, but the employee didn’t inform us that breakfast ends at 10:30 am. We opted for bagels instead because the Panera bagels are boom. I ordered the asiago cheese(my fav), toasted with plain cream cheese and my bf got blueberry bagel, toasted with plain cream cheese. We waited for a long time, enough time for me to get teabags, pour hot water into my cup and walk almost half way but decided to walk back to get a sleeve then walk back across the store agin to get ice and walk back to the other end of the store, but the bagels were still not ready. The person who rung us up just started preparing the bagels after seeing us move closer to the register. After slicing and toasting the bagels she called our order, but the order was wrong. She gave me a plain bagel instead of Asiago. She didn’t even apologize for the mistake. She just looked back and said«ugh, they ordered Asiago, can you slice and toast it» to another employee. Umm hello? You made the mistake, please apologize not only for messing up the order, but also making us wait ~20 min for bagels.

I love Panera bread but this one was really good I ordered the frontega chicken and it was excellent as usual the only thing was that the bread was not as fresh, but still a very good sandwich, defiantly recommended for breakfast and lunch.

Their food is wonderful. Their service needs work. Ordered on rapid online order to pick up. Got to my car and found a fork to eat my chili with instead of a spoon. Also they put two yogurts to go on top of the hot chili instead of in the other bag that had the cold green salad in it. This is simply poor training or employees that are rushed and don’t care about the outcome or customer service.

The food is consistently good as is the service. I wish they had more seats with outlets and their wifi was stronger. But for a chain, I have no complaints.

Very conveniently located down the street from my office. Lots of parking albeit narrow spaces. Inside or outside dining. Friendly staff. I have eaten my fair share of bacon and spinach souffles. Light, buttery, delicious and best of all, you can eat it with one hand while driving! ;) Anytime we have a meeting at the office and I need bagels, this is my go-to place. A bagel pack(13 sliced bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese) and a tote of coffee(they pack up all the sugar, sweetener, cream, cups, stirrers, and lids for you!). Bagels are the bomb here. Some of them have a bread-like texture which makes them so buttery and light. Ok. I am thinking of the asiago bagel. You don’t need any cream cheese. Just eat the cheese already on it! My second favorite is the cinnamon crunch bagel. It is so buttery(hmmm…I’m noticing a theme) and sweet. I don’t need any cream cheese on this either. I eat both of these bagels fresh and plain. If they are a day old, you need to toast them and add a schmear. Once they had these breast cancer bagels with nuts(walnuts I think) and cranberries. Those were so yummy!!! I have yet to try to the pumpkin pie bagel, but you can bet, this is on my list. In fact, I think I’m headed to Panera in the morning just to try this! :) Lunch you say? Sure! So many favorite sandwiches… roasted turkey & avocado BLT, steak & white cheddar panini, asiago steak sandwich, napa almond chicken salad sammy. Salads are the bomb! Fuji apple chicken or steak & blue cheese or asian sesame chicken or chicken cobb. Can’t decide? No problem… make it a pick 2. Whatever you order, you get to choose a side… bag of kettle chips, bagette or apple. Yay! If you are lucky, you get to Panera when they have free samples out. New bread? New bagel? New cream cheese? Yes, yes, yes!!!

It’s 2p Tuesday afternoon, and this place is a cluster, you know. Employees having to shout for back up. I had to wipe down my booth and table with hot water before I could sit down. This location is too cramped. Bright side was the perfectly crafted latte and the fellow customer who made me laugh about the whole thing. Doubt if I return to this location.

I come here almost everyday and every time I leave satisfied. The food here is always well made, and they make sure that everything comes out right. I’ve tried all the pastas and I have to say that all of them taste great. My particular favorite is their pesto sacchettini since it’s packed with lots of cheese and topped with lots of flavor. I usually come here before or after I go to the gym, so I tend to get their grilled chicken caesar salad or their strawberry poppyseed and chicken salad which is seasonal. Then following it up with a low fat strawberry smoothie. During busy rush hours, seating tends to be a challenge, but they also have nice seating outside for those that like eating outdoors. The restaurant is located on the edge of a shopping center for those who like convenience.

i have fell in love with their french onion soup. the tomato soup was my all time fave here but now it has sadly came in 2nd haha i have noticed Panera has stepped their game up and added more variety to their menu. i have yet to try their pastas but they do look delicious. one thing i really like about this location’s customer service and the service at majority of all the Panera locations is that their staff is very friendly and polite. they have staff to pick up your dishes once you’re done, although sometimes i just do it myself since its only a few dishes. i also love their rewards program as well :)

I got a quick lunch here with my fiancé. The frontega chicken panini & tropical hibiscus iced tea and it was delish… I had them add carmelized onions on it and mozzarella cheese rather than the cheddar it comes with.

Despite all of the restaurants in this area, everyone flocks to Panera Bread. It does not matter what time of day, this location is ALWAYS busy and it’s annoying! I waited in line for 10 minutes at 8 p.m. on a weeknight to place an order, and then waited another 10 – 15 minutes just for my food because there were so many people ahead of me. What a waste of time. In addition, I’ve met some really rude patrons who give me evil looks when I politely ask them to move when I am trying to get past them. Look, I understand a lot of people seem to do job interviews and networking at this Panera, but chill out — you chose a public space and should not act as if other people are invading your private space when they are trying to leave.

I came here on a Monday afternoon and I’m surprised how crowded this Panera Bread gets! I did like the fact that there is someone standing at the counter where they bring out the orders calling out the numbers. The fact that he is there speeds things up a little. I got my hot, piping Broccoli Cheddar bread bowl in no time! The tables are a little bit small and crowded in some areas(but it’s pretty standard for a Panera bread) and the booths/tables outside for when the weather’s nice seemed nice too. Only downside is that it can be pretty crowded during peak times(lunch, dinner, etc.).

Good place to grab lunch(to go) during the week. You’ll be in and out of there in no time. If you go during the lunch rush and decide to dine in, you might not be able to find a seat though. Their sandwiches and salads are generally pretty good. I like getting their you picked two half sandwich/half salad combo with an apple(you could also get a side a chips or bread). When I come here, you’ll find me ordering a ½ Italian combo sandwich or bacon turkey bravo sandwich with the ½ chicken cobb salad or Asian sesame chicken salad. All four are good! Sometimes during their busy times the sandwiches look pretty sloppy though. But eh, they still taste good. Need a quick place to grab lunch at on the go? Panera is the place to go. BTW you could call your order in ahead of time… saves some time if you’re in a time crunch.
