Panera Bread

Just had lunch at panera. And we loved it
One of the few places un hampton where you canfill up and its afforddable. Wexome here a lot and i reccommend it to everyone

Agree that some things may be off in this one location. I’m addicted to the soufflés and usually buy in Hampton Bays but here I found them flat and bland-​looking with very little color. Unappetizing. I brought it up to the managers attention and his lackluster attitude confirmed there may be a slight management issue in this place. I remember having a customer service issue here in the past also. Ehh.

Good cup of coffee
Like the chocolate chip cookies always fresh. The French toast bagel there is also a must. Staff is very friendly and never too packed.

The best sausage egg and cheese around! The bread is delectable ad their hazelnut coffee is second only to Hamptons Coffee Company. The atmosphere is always enjoyable and the staff are so friendly!

Long line on a Saturday afternoon, but it moved quickly and we did not wait long for our food. The Lobster roll is amazing… just like the ones I had in Canada.

Most Panera Bread restaurants are very good. This restaurant however is not. The food is not very good. The staff is nice though. The pumpkin lattes are not bad.

Fast friendly service. One of the few places to grab breakfast and lunch around the neighborhood, if I don’t want to eat pizza. I was told they have Panera rewards program, only to find it’s pointless because it’s a random reward.

How do you mess up grilled cheese? First they get my order wrong and then when I do get my sandwich the cheese wasn’t melted! The only redeeming quality was the smoothie, it was really good.

very good for a chain. everyone who works here is very friendly, which is a first for anyplace in The Hamptons.
coffee is also very good with free refills all day.

This place is what Jerry Seinfeld would refer to as even steven. It is right in the middle, 3 stars out of 5, A-​OK, average. Even if it were a little better one time, it would be a little worse the next time. You can’t expect much more out of a chain sandwichery, but at least Panera carries some nice fresh breads and dessert items.
This particular Panera is always crowded as people descend on Bridgehampton Commons in droves, wiping away the memories of the drive-​in every second. They have free WiFi, good customer service and you never wait more than three minutes to get your food.
If somehow you are not familiar with Panera, the sandwiches are very average. A place which has such good bread doesn’t seem to use the correct bread for the sandwiches. The sandwiches are rushed together and I am never impressed with them although I usually eat it without delay so they taste ok in the end. The salads are fine. It seems their best offerings are in bread and dessert and possibly coffee, but in the end it is still and always will be, a chain.
