Panera Bread

I like the Doylestown Panera. Good menu selections and its a clean, comfortable place to spend an hour. Unfortunately, the meals are pricey to start with and the sandwiches are so lightweight I always request more (chicken, turkey, etc) and have to pay extra.
Recently, they closed off the frozen drink area so you can’t watch your drink being made. May not matter to some, but I like to see as much prep as possible to know what I’m eating/​drinking. The divider closes off the waiting area and is so ridiculous in size it makes me doubt the only reason to install it was to «decrease customer confusion» provide «one stop for pick up.» Were people really confused?: /

My favorite Panera and my go-​to place in Doylestown. Gary and his team always take good care of me, love Ted in Catering, and Anna is my ultimate favorite worker. The food is always top-​notch and the place is clean, well-​stocked and just the best way to start my morning and sometimes to end my day too!

always order rapid pick up. they have never messed up my order yet, and its always done on time. food is delicious as well

This is your typical Panera Bread, not great and not bad. The three stars are for the assistant manager Mr Torres for giving outstanding customer service. The cashier asked if we wanted a pastry for just 99 cents. We ordered a scone and she said it was $ 2.59. We asked why it’s not 99 cents and she sort of chuckled and said «I lied. You didn’t buy a soft drink.» The assistant manager overheard and said «go ahead, I’ll honor that price» and immediately got our scone for us. Great customer service. The food though was average. Cheddar Broccoli Soup had too much of flour taste. Napa Chicken Salad sandwich had a big piece of iceberg, tomato but hardly any chicken salad. The Thai Chicken Salad had nice pieces of sliced chicken, roasted edamame and a spicy dressing.

Always go above and beyond, and the food is delicious! Their Mac and cheese is to die for, and a great place to go to lunch! One of my favorites!

Located where the old Blockbuster was in the Genuardi’s plaza, this Panera Bread is basically the same as all the others I’ve eaten at. Good service, Good Food, OK Price. A healthier alternative to the local fast food places.

Came here for a quick lunch because I was in the area. The staff was nice and I love the amount of seating this place has. Also the fireplace was really cute and modern, I’m a fan!

Panera service not so good in Doylestown.

My daughter announced this was the largest Panera she has been in. She is a fan of this chain. We don’t have one near us. We found ourselves in Doylestown and I thought I would treat her to her current favorite place.
My familiarity with this chain is reserved to their Asiago bagels, which I have had numerous times. This is the first time I ever had a «meal» there. I was disappointed. The prices are high for what one gets. I had a roast beef and cheese panini. I got the half as the whole was more than $ 10. The half was $ 5-​something. It was not filling, although it tasted all right. The bag of chips was lacking.
My daughter had a bowl (she ordered a cup) of chicken noodle soup. It was pretty good.

Probably my favorite Panera in this part of PA. It’s big and open, food is always good, and the employees are nice.

Breakfasted here this week while waiting for my court appearance. The location is very convenient to the courthouses, and unlike the hilltop, there is no parking issue down here.
The space is large and bright, and looks the same as most Paneras. The service was fine, although the ordering and delivery take place at opposite ends of the long half wall that separates the work from dining areas. There were plenty of free tables at 8:00 am and I was very comfortable occupying a booth by myself.
I had a basic breakfast of Quinoa Steel Cut Oatmeal, which came with sliced Strawberries, Walnut and Brown Sugar. It was thick and tasty. Glad it was a small bowl. The Toasted Everything Bagel was fresh and held the Veggie Spread well. With coffee, the meal was under $ 10. No problem there.
I have visited enough Paneras around the country to know that while they all look the same, they do not all act the same. The Doylestown facility did not seem to have any problem with attitude, nor accuracy, although other Unilocalers seem to have had different experiences.
Given the overall quality of the experience and the ease of parking, this Panera gets my vote for the optimal breakfast on a busy morning in the downtown area.

Went here and placed an order w the cashier, Stephanie. I went extremely slow in saying my order carefully and somehow she got the whole entire order wrong. The receipt had the wrong items listed and the bag of food was completely different than I had told her. This isn’t the first time my order has been wrong here. The manager is nice and tries to compensate but its a waste of my time to go here and have everything be incorrect. I don’t understand why the cashiers cant type in the order correctly. Maybe they should think about hiring some new people.

BEWARE., we were not informed of a $ 15.00 delivery charge.!! When I called the store they stated that there is always a $ 15.00 charge and we should have been notified. Ha! Will not be ordering again

Employees are friendly and the place itself is clean and welcoming. I’m giving three stars for the food. I feel like every time I come here (hoping for an improvement) I’m disappointed. I ordered the turkey and avacado blt. The chcicken seemed to be the end of a bowl because it was a bunch of tiny bits that fell out everywhere and the avacado was literally just a half of one stuck in there. It just fell apart when I looked at it. I need the recipe for the broccoli cheddar soup I have a slight addiction to and I won’t have to come here anymore.

Rapid pickup is awesome. Place your order and pay online, and pick up and go. Great for picking up breakfast for the office on the way to work.

Love this Panera because it’s less crowded and less loud than the one near Willow Grove mall. The pick 2 is what I always get but I tried their avocado corn salad. I thought it was a bit pricey for what you get. 9 bucks! i think I’ll stick to the pick two and a lemonade. Great spot to read and eat.

The food is pretty consistent, as this is a chain. The service varies because there is always a new person on the register. I like to eat outside. I like my you-pick-two’s

I was sooooo pleasantly surprised by our group of 5’s dinner (yes — try it for dinner — less crowded than the lunch rush) at a huge table (that can seat 7 or 8) in the D-​town Panera (fairly new location).
While prices are a bit high for «café style» fast food — the soups and breads are tasty (if not caloric) and our 8 year old loved the $ 11 Shrimp Sandwich. Plus — somebody’s gotta wash the real nowls and flatware they serve on (This is not a Saladworks!).
Some items took a long time to come out — but were worth the wait.
We’ll be back for sure.

I’ve only had their cinnamon crunch bagel and coffee which is free refills for dine in mug… but whenever I’m looking to just internet browse and have a quick and affordable lunch I come here. Free wifi!
I’m from out of town so I’ve made this place my usual hangout when I’m looking to get out of the house. Staff there is so nice and I usually just chill here for about 3 – 4 hours without any disturbances. Good enough for me to come back! I’m a bagel person so I’ll just stick to the bagels here.

Food here was great as usual. We are traveling from FL and like to eat at Panera because we know what to expect. Quality food at a decent price. My only complaint is that Sweet Tea is not served. Please brew sweet tea! Your patrons would love it!
