Panera Bread

This is the worst Panera I have ever been to. First, I tried to order a berry smoothie and they were out of the ingredients so I had to order a different smoothie. I had a voucher from another Panera (my order had been incorrect so they gave me a $ 2 coupon), the cashier didn’t know what it was so he asked an assistant manager to ring it in. The assistant manager said she would be right there, then I saw her go into the back, come back out, completely make two sandwiches (start to finish), all while the line is being held up waiting for her to finish my order. When she finally got around to helping the cashier with my order, she was so rude! She acted like she was angry at me. Then when my credit card wouldn’t scan on my end or on hers she asked me to manually type it in. In ended up using a different card just get out of there ASAP. The cashier and the girl who made my smoothie were sweet, but the assistant manager was awful. To make things worse, my smoothie was only about 80% full. I will not be going back to this Panera!

Worst… I mean WORST Panera I have ever been in. Not only is it filthy but it was disorganized chaos. I left there wondering what I was thinking. Only to even be more upset when I received half of my food. Then, because I wasn’t far I returned and they gave me a hard time. Ridiculous. With a town full of restaurants go anywhere but here. Trust me you will get better service!!!

Panera is a nice addition to Altoona restaurants. The food is very good and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Oh good. No customers at Panera, so let’s eat there! Thankfully they wait until you are in line to roll out their brand of artificial intelligence (you know, the robot-​people who appear out of nowhere and spend the whole time staring at their cellphones while waiting behind you). They came out in droves, but first come, first serve… Well technically, no. Some of them get their food before you b/​c they ordered the artificial food-​our family prefers real/​earth grown nutrients, and not syrup gravy, so sometimes it takes longer. I ordered 2 flatbreads, but only got one. The line is so long that this one simple mistake will take 45 minutes to correct, due to high demand customer-​robots at 5:40 on Wednesday. Time is money and fun– so, I’ll take the loss-​especially when one of the A.I. put a uniform on and started running the sweeper under our table while we were still eating there. What the??? Hello?! Who does that? I’ll tell you who: robots. I didn’t even get offered a scone or similar pastry for 99 cents. They have acai-​tea, but has anyone ever tried it? I doubt it.

You really can’t go wrong with Panera. Lots of options for any time of day, and reasonable-​ish prices. This location was pretty good. The service was okay, but not remarkable. It took little bit to find a clean table. The wifi was kind of slow. Overall, I probably won’t seek this location out again, but j didn’t see any reason to specifically avoid it either.

The food here is okay. The Chocolate Chip and the Cinnamon Crunch bagels are the best bagels! But if you don’t go early in the morning to get them, you won’t get them… And every-​time I’ve gotten food from here, the order is always messed up. I’ve eaten at better Paneras in DC, and Ohio.

Had the French onion soup and tomato and mozzarella panini. Very tasty. Very clean and great service. In a hurry great place for lunch.

Stopped in for lunch with my wife. Excellent food, Susan the cashier was incredibly rude. There are «help wanted» signs throughout the restaurant, apparently being short-​handed lets the staff mistreat customers.

After a long day of traveling, I was looking for something that was cheap, healthy, and close to the freeway. Panera was the perfect option. Our meals were fresh and tasty and the staff was pleasantly helpful. Panera is fantastic.

Its Panera what can I say… sometimes its good sometimes its bad. Depends on what you order really. So I ended up here after seeing the free breakfast at my hotel was all wrapped in plastic, not continental at all! I was there very early, taken care of right away. I ordered the Sausage Egg and cheese Sandwich. its great, you can tell its a real egg with the yolk cooked inside. It was a good visit to Panera on this day.

Had a turkey sandwich there today. It was just ok. They used to be better. The iced tea tasted like fish. Couldn’t drink it. Took it up to complain, one of the workers listened to me and walked away. Maybe he is the guy at makes it.

Panera is very good. I typically get the French Onion Soup and either a salad or half a sandwich. I’m not a fan of their coffee, hence the 4-​stars. It tastes okay, but it’s missing a more in-​depth flavor that I’ve come to enjoy from other coffee establishments. Their pastries are good and I do love their Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Oh, and they only serve Pepsi Products which brings down their rating in my eyes as well.

One word… YUM. Their vegetarian black bean soup is thee best!
