Panera Bread

I love this panera location… especially Shannon! Always so pleasant and lovely. Our meals are always fresh and made so quickly. Great job Panera!

I love Panera and always order the Frontage Chicken Sandwich but lately I’ve been extremely disappointed! There was hardly any chicken and way too many onions. The chicken ceaser salad was also lacking chicken. I feel like this location does not have the same quality of food as other locations.

I love their food, but the service is unreliable at best. They often mess up my order, and they always seem to be mysteriously out of what I want. The employees are kind of a mixed bag. Some have been very helpful, but others are disinterested or rude. I’ll probably keep eating here because it’s convenient and affordable, but I grit my teeth every time I go in.

My wife & I were having a business meeting this morning. First time I’ve ordered breakfast. We each got the bacon, egg, cheese on an asiago bagel. Thinnest bacon known to man, couldn’t find the cheese, and the whole thing was microwaved. I’ve eaten my last breakfast at Panera.

This is my go to panera location. Have gone to this location several times and am always impressed. The staff is always polite and welcoming even when it is a busy weekday lunch hour. The bakery area is always well stocked. Some favorites of Panera in general include: black bean soup, vegetable soup with pesto, Asian chicken salad, Thai chicken salad, tuna salad sandwich, Cuban panini, Napa almond chicken salad sandwich. I recently tried a soba noodle bowl with chicken and it was yummy. Perfect size with a side of baguette. And I absolutely love the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad. Wish it was around all year! Losing one star because of cleanliness — always seems to be a lot of crumbs on the floor :(

Love this place.
Good food always
Just tried the broth bowls
If you haven’t you should

This is my 3^rd trip to this Panera Bread. Breakfast is a major disappointment!
Pastries taste like card board. There was no coffee for 15 minutes. Staff seemed dis interested, hence no coffee!
Had soup here and it was heavy handed.
The coffee was ok
Maybe with better management at this store,

Since it is close to my house this is my hang out spot. Aside from the food being good It’s always busy, which is great for people watching… If you come to Panera be prepared to be stared at by me. Don’t worry I’ll try to be subtitle and it’s not like I’m here all the time.

3 stars for the soup, bread, pastries, and atmosphere. The sandwiches, not so much. There is a Primo around the corner. If you want a good sandwich with good lunchmeat, head there. I find the sandwiches really bland, the only saving grace is the bread which puts them above SubWay. However the portions are quite small. Soup and Half sandwich special leaves me hungry. Also adds upto 10 bucks when you get a drink… so it’s not really a great bargain. The lunchmeat seems to be presliced (subway style) so they just grab a «serving of lunchmeat» and drop it on your bread. I find my sandwiches quite lacking in the meat and cheese department. Hardly what I would call a hearty sandwich.
The stores themselves are decent, its like a hybrid coffee\bread shop. So you can hang out and study, or work while you have coffee\pastries and bland\small sandwiches. I have never had the occasion to hang out, but see people doing it often at various locations using the Panera WiFi.
I am a fan of the bread… I’ve gotten several loaves over the years and always been pleased. This is good since it is called Panera Bread!
Have never had breakfast here… do they actually crack eggs? That would be a big plus! Love me a chocolate croissant…
This store doesn’t have the best parking, the lot fill up quick around lunch time at this relatively busy strip mall.

Panera Bread has good food. It always seems like there is something new on the menu, and the menu is very expansive. They are a bit pricey, but I can get over that for the quality of the food. The atmosphere is nice too. It reminds me of a coffee shop and a restaurant. It’s great to sit on a laptop, browse the web, read some books, or enjoy your meal.

Clean, Friendly Staff, quick service and employees didn’t seem pissed at their job. Seems like the franchise owner of this Panera is keeping his employees happy.
Only down-​side they did not have the Egg, Beacon & Gouda on Flatbread — they didn’t have! Seems like not all Panera Bread have the same menu. Overall good experience.

I wish I can give the corporate a call of complains. Don’t get me wrong, the food and service was great, but there’s one thing that made me completely mad about was for some reason I have been there a lot lately from few months ago. I have spent quite amount of money on food and drinks, and they are not cheap. I am always there to do my homework on my computer while having dinner. There aren’t lots of plug, I say probably 3 location for the whole entire restaurant which seems like everyone was fighting on those plug. For some reason (which I don’t know what), they covered 2 of the plugs the last time I check (couple days ago). When I see those plugs were taped up, I immediately leave. I am not going to waste my time just eat and have to find somewhere else to study for later. Then, I went to Cosi instead of staying there.
I am not quite sure if I will go back.

I have been going to Panera for some time for their coffee. I enjoy the fact the make fresh brewed every hour or so. There is nothing better than fresh brewed. But one day I worked late and didn’t feel like making dinner. The restaurant has recently brought back out from what I am told is their Lobster sandwich. It was delicious. The bread was fresh and firm the lobster through out the sandwich. The manager said I wouldn’t be able to finish it off but it was too good not too. I went at the end of the days so just imagine if you catch them earlier. You won’t be disappointed.

I lived in the area almost a year and a half before I finally decided to drop into this Panera. Ever since I did — I realized that I liked Panera more than I had in the past!
With the Pick 2 menu, you can get essentially half of a salad, cup of soup or sandwich (or panini!) for pretty cheap. (For each Signature item you pick, it’s a $ 1 extra, but definitely worth it.) If you’re in the mood for something sweet, it’s a bakery so there are cookies, cinnamon buns and such to choose from.
Drinks are good here, too. You have your choice of fountain drinks, coffee, tea or even smoothies (get the mango smoothie — it’s delish!)
It doesn’t matter when I come here, this place is full (but not chaotically full). The parking lot is a little weird, but again, not impossible.
Whenever I’m in the mood for a good soup/​salad/​sandwich, this is my go-​to place!

I go to this Panera a couple times a month, typically to get out of my home office for a couple hours. I enjoy mixing and matching different soups, salads, and sandwiches. I love their brocc and cheddar. It’s creamy and low calorie. Their panini’s are incredible. The roasted turkey artichoke panini is my favorite. I recently tried the cuban chicken panini, it was good, but I probably wouldn’t order it again. It was a little dry. Their Caesar salad has a lot of flavor, but I would pass on ordering thai chopped chicken salad. There is something is the dressing that I didn’t like. I love the free wi-​fi, I find calling names over the speaker can be a bit obnoxious, but overall I enjoy going there. The service is always good, they deliver a consistent product, and my toddler loves their mac and cheese.

I usually am a Panera’s fan but this particular location is not a favorite of mine. Parking is always scarce especially around peak lunch time. I ordered the lemon chicken orzo soup which was not too good. It was very bland and not so tasteful.

I normally like Panera Bread’s food – I’ve eaten many times at the location in Princeton, New Jersey, and several times at the one in East Norriton, PA – but my visit to this branch will probably be my last. In particular the salad (classic garden) tonight was inedible. The tomatoes were mush, and the spinach and other supposed-​to-​be-​dark greens were ancient and yellow. I was starving, yet I ended up throwing out half my salad and instead eating the French bread and a cookie, both of which were fine and tasted like the usual Panera fare. But I wanted my salad. Sigh.
I’m hoping that this was just a tragic mid-​winter vegetable-​shortage glitch, but I don’t think I’ll throw away my money here next time I’m in the area. Which is sad, because I like having healthier cheap/​fast-​food options.

This Panera is better than most, and caters to those of us who want to study or work on our laptops without much distraction.
The food is typical Panera fare… very similar to the other offerings in the area, such as Bear Rock, Cosi, and Corner Bakery. There isn’t an Au Bön Pan for miles, so this is really your best bet for a nice breakfast, as their breakfast sandwiches are my favorite by a long shot. Throw in an endless hazelnut coffee and it’s a very cheap, and nice, self-​serve breakfast. Just be sure to get there before 11am on Saturdays and Sundays or else you won’t be able to order breakfast anymore. Doh!
Their lunch menu isn’t nearly as good/​cheap. There are soups, salads, sandwiches and paninis, but nothing really worth it. The new macaroni and cheese is just short of Kraft, so avoid it at all costs.
The best part of THIS Panera is its wing totally dedicated to laptop workers abusing its free wifi. There are singles booths and tables, most with their own outlets, along a huge bay of windows. It’s not uncommon for people of all ages to pull in with newspapers, books and laptops, a hot cup of coffee or a pastry, and parking for hours just enjoying the sunlight and friendly atmosphere. If you really want good sunlight, there are tables right outside.

This Panera is clean and well managed. I had a delicious (Pick 2) lunch special with a small greek salad (no onion, dressing on the side) and French onion soup (a little too salty but still good).
Panera’s food can be LOADED with calories so watch what you get — especially the bread. My lunch combo came with a choice of chips, a baguette or an apple. I took the apple and felt downright righteous.
Meanwhile the pineaplle upside-​down mini bundts were calling my name — but I was good and diregarded that call.
I do like Panera — as chains go — to me it’s BETTER than Cosi. (I don’t like Cosi because once the bread cools down it turns to cardboard.)

For anyone who’s never been, Panera is a Cosi clone[1], a chain of café restaurants with locations in Canada, too. Their food is stunningly average, just like their prices. (Of course, some folks swear by them, so maybe I haven’t tried my dream dish there yet!)
I’ve been to this location three times for lunch. First time I had a portabello and mozzarella sandwich, and the second time, a bread bowl with some kind of soup[2]. I tried the Tuscan chicken, which wasn’t bad. There’s plenty of shopping center parking, and despite the amount of seating, this Panera typically gets crowded during the core lunch hour (noon to one), so you do well to arrive earlier or later to avoid the rush, unless you enjoy mosh pit lunching[3].
