Panera Bread

Panera is one of my favorite places to eat. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have so many great options. I also enjoy the amount of vegetariam options they have. It’s a little pricy at times but totally worth it!

This is how fast food should be! Pretty much everything on the menu looks amazing. The Fuji Apple salad is my go-​to meal and it always hits the spot. I never regret indulging in their desserts. The food and the service are consistently good.

Never come here within 2 hours of closing staff is rude and unprofessional. There out of everything on the menu.

I love Panera. Fast, healthy food with a lot of variety. This one has a drive thru and the staff are efficient and friendly. Two thumbs up!

Messed up my drive thru order by burning the bread then a second time not having the sandwich right, drove back in to have it fixed only for the sandwich to still not be correct! Absolutely terrible, having worked at a Panera in Virginia order accuracy was something we took pride in. Very disappointed.

If you’re tired of women, then hang on, we’ll be entering a «Man Era» soon. Actually I hope not.
I haven’t tried the food at this particular location, but their hot drinks are just okay. I’m not a fan of their coffee, and the mint tea I got was a little weird-​tasting. I prefer the mint tea at Starbucks, although in general I like Panera much better. I’ve been to this location twice, as far as I can remember. Both times I got tea, and used wifi — or tried to.
So I wasn’t a big fan of this Panera. Their Wifi didn’t work too well, and they weren’t as friendly and comfortable as the one on Transit. Still, it’s a cute little chain. I’m kind of annoyed this chain never lets me perform live though, whereas its knock-​off company Atlanta Bread, totally does.

ZERO STARS!!! I only have one because I can’t unclick it. Worst experience and food I’ve ever had. Out of 7people who ordered. Only 1 got what they ordered. One person’s sandwich had different meats on each half. Soups were wrong. Completely different sandwiches given. Food was wilted and soggy and thrown together. Every time I’ve had food from there, it was very sloppy and very poor quality. This is no more than a Subway with different food only Subway has better quality food. My flatbread was so soggy on the bottom half, I could barely pick my sandwich up. I will never be going to ANY Panera again. I honestly do not understand what anyone likes about this place. This is not any kind of quality Bistro by any means. I won’t even get the chicken on their Chicken salads because it’s old and soggy. Terrible…

My experience with this place is neither too good nor too bad. Me and my husband ordered panini and flatbread from this place. We ordered frontega chicken panini and southwestern chicken flatbread. But we felt the food was little dry and did not taste like flatbread at all. And the panini did not taste very great too. And the place is quite expensive for sandwiches. One thing is for sure that I am not visiting this place again.

On multiple occasions my order has been wrong and I have found that this location’s standards are not set as high in terms of cleanliness and customer satisfaction. I really enjoy panera but avoid this one on purpose due to my repeated negative experiences.

I’m not sure what all the craze/​hype is around this place. Seriously! In particular this location given its proximity to other local bakeries and that I’d certainly choose them over Panera bread. Why? support local businesses. And id certainly choose paulas donuts over panera. D&L and eagles bakerys. Granted Panera has brand chain muscle to back them up but they can’t complete with the local hometown bake goods throughout the heart of buffalo.
If you prefer the chains over the locals go for it! I’m honest, I’d rather see my fellow neighbor succeed in there business endeavors.

Whether you want to sit down for a quick snack or have a business meeting in an above average dining area, panera is deemed to satisfy! Always clean, always fast and the food is freshly prepared! Crispy lettuce and juicy tomatoes make any sandwich a treat!
Love the smoked turkey! The soups are delivered hot! But not too hot to be uncomfortable! Free wifi is a bonus so bringing your computer is always a bonus. Love this place because its consistent in both cleanliness and food prep! Enjoy your meals folks!

This place was my beacon of hope during the heatwave. Between the air conditioning and unlimited iced tea, I managed to escape my very warm apartment and enjoy some reading.
Overall, I think Panera does a good job on food for the most part. I do find some of their items somewhat salty to my palate, especially the soups. The sandwiches are tasty but small, but the items that I do like outweigh the ones I can skip. I really like the salads, especially the Asian Sesame, BBQ Chopped Chicken, and Steak & Blue Cheese Chopped. The mac and cheese is also very good and I often would get half a salad/​half mac and cheese in the winter.
They also have some nice pastries, though it would be nice to offer some that aren’t so exorbitant in calories. All the cookies are 400+ calories. That cinnamon crunch bagel toasted with butter is like 600+, but it is really tasty. They do assortments with cream cheeses and boxes of coffee to go. I called a day ahead to pick up early before my friend’s wedding and they had it all ready through the drive out window so I could get on with my day.
Coffee is usually very good, and I especially like their iced coffee. Lots of flavor and they keep it cold so I don’t end up with lukewarm coffee with melted ice. All staff I have encountered have been helpful and courteous. Their drive thru in the AM is not up to the speed of a Tim Horton’s. I have been the only person in line pre 7am at they still take quite a while as they are getting ready for the morning rush and baking things up.
Panera card gives out good discounts. It is more prevalent once you first get it, but I usually get $ 1 off of something each month. Inside, they have lots of tables and areas to sit, though sometimes they are a little close together as it isn’t as big as other stores. They have some nice comfy chairs and 2 person booths in the back corner, but they stuck an extra 4-​top table in the area so there is no room to use the chairs.

I love Panera. They have fresh baked sandwiches and pastries that taste amazing. They also do catering. I like that they also have a rewards program MyPanera that rewards you with coupons and freebies that automatically load on your card. Their mango smoothies are the best I’ve ever had. When you get a soup with a baguette, your baguette is a slice off a real loaf of freshly baked french bread, not a little roll like @ some other restaurants.

This review is for their bagels… I think they have a good bagel for the price — much better than Tim Hortons or DD… My three go to bagels here are Everything, Sesame, and Cinnamon Crunch… All very good…
The cream cheese spreads are good as well… Regular is fine but I also like to get the Onion/​Chive or the Hazelnut spread, mmm.
One thing is I always ask to get my bagel Double Toasted… It does not come out black either… If you get regular toasted it is hardly toasted, and probably won’t even be warm by the time you eat it… I’ve been ordering like this for months now.
I did try their tuna fish sandwich once but did not care for the taste, and it was small too.

This is my first time visiting this particular Panera. I picked up bagel pack (13 bagels w/​two cream cheeses) and an iced chai latte. It was about 20 bucks for everything which isn’t extremely high, but didn’t impress me either.
The chai tea was dinky and has an odd aftertaste to me. I’ve gotten chai lattes at a million different places and none have ever tasted like the one I got today.
I would definitely go back for lunch sometime (The soups they had today smelled delicious!), but I’d probably choose something else to drink.

YES! My daughter picks up from this particular location when I’m in the mood for their soups, which tends to be often. Yesterday I ordered my regular, a bowl of low fat veggie with pesto, and at the time of pick my daughter was informed that there was only enough soup for a cup… to make up for this heinous transgression they provided a gratis bowl of Sonoma Chicken Stew.
I looked at what I presumed to be an inferior replacement and said — meh, who needs that creamy crap. Then I tried it… WOW! What taste, what body! And to make it even better the stew came with a cheesy biscuit!
For a chain establishment, the soups — and chicken stew — are mighty tasty. Now I move on to the breads.
I have never had a «bad» bread from Panera. I like the sourdough aspect of their breads and by and large, the breads get eaten — which might explain the «muffin top» I am now sporting. I ordered two breads I never would have ordered previously, simply for a change. The chocolate/​pecan babka — not really a bread or a pastry — but an eggy delight. I am more of a savory indulger and I must admit. this sucker was tasty. A month ago I would have told anyone who cares to listen that chocolate has no place at the breakfast table. Now I recant.
My second bread, tomato basil topped with streusel, was a shocker. The flavors of the tomato and basil are artfully combined into a harmonious loaf that screams «eat me!». The topping, which I thought initially was stupid, just pulled together all the different flavors/​textures with a mild sweetness/​crunch.
Move over blasé ryes and frenchies, I’ve got new favorites now!

They have FROZEN SLUSHY TART LEMONADE.
Wonderful sandwiches and soups and many breads and pastries, my favorite is the chocolate pastry which it’s unique taste and textile guarantees you will only eat theirs and enjoy it.
Great coffee and, if you know me well, you know I never say that about more than two places!
Worth stopping in and definitely staying awhile.

Great service and relatively quick with order processing, this Panera has a nice cozy feel to it. Food is consistent and as expected out of this chain. Not much to say about them otherwise.
