Panera Bread

Be prepared that it is super busy! It is convenient located near UCO and is the perfect atmosphere for the last minute studying you have to do. I always get great customer service when coming here. Drive-​thru is very convenient for the morning coffee and bagel! Def going back to et some scrumptious Mac and cheese!

This location is always hella busy, but I have always had great service here. It’s very conveniently located and they get your order out relatively quickly. They just got a drive thru put in recently as well, which is wonderful. Its a great post shopping lunch spot.

Also known as St. Louis Bread Company or just «Bread Co.» to many St. Louisians. I’m a fan – have been for 20+ years. Bread Company has become the community kitchen table of the Midwest. It’s only been in the last 10 or so that St. Louis’ beloved Bread Co. has become known coast to coast. You’re welcome. We’re happy to share.
If you want to know what’s on the mind and hearts of your community, head to your local Bread Co. I love to hang out there and people watch. Some say it may be a hobby of mine, I don’t disagree. If your like me you’ll often check out the community board at Bread Co. see what’s happening or how you can get involved.
I’ve been to the Edmond location a handful of times now. One late Saturday afternoon I was enjoying the Power Kale with Chicken salad. It was spot on. I got it served with a warm French baguette to which I added a pad (or two) of real butter. I was in heaven. While I was there I took a look around and kinda felt like I could be in a Bread Company commercial.
Let me set the scene: all walks of life from Edmond gathered around Bread Co. tables that afternoon. There was a company taking resume’s and interviewing teenage-​aged kids for what looked like their very first job. I watched bemused as some kids seemed to nail their interview process with pressed shirts, clean pants, a smile, and their heads held high, while others stumbled in disheveled in their dirty soccer uniforms and iPhones in hand. Not far from the interview table was a group of women in their 30s meeting very obviously for a book club meeting. They were very passionate about their latest read and it was a lively presence in the room. There was also a dad and his two kids who were huddled closely to their mac n’ cheese worried that it might disappear before they got in their last bite. I noticed a mom and her teenage daughter having a late lunch enjoying each other’s company. Inevitably when you go to Bread Co. the room is dotted students doing homework their books open while they are busy typing on their laptops and they were all around.
I really enjoy sitting down at Bread Co. in Edmond to eat. The food is reliably good, the staff is always friendly, and they have the best soup in a bread bowl in town. The Edmond location is no exception. The staff is friendly and always willing to make you feel welcomed and be sure your order is right. I love the closed in patio seating area at this location. They also have a drive thru which always seems to be the popular option as there’s always a long line.
Bread Company is your neighborhood kitchen table. Come for the good food, the friendly staff, great coffee, free wi-​fi, fresh breads and pastries, and know that everyone’s welcome around the table.

Interesting Panera Bread set up. Although parking is tight due to the plaza that the venue is located in, looks are deceiving on the inside. Plenty of seating toward the middle of Panera Bread, as well as toward the back. The back area has plenty of power outlets for your electronic devices. However, one caveat of the back area is that the A/​C is just ridiculous. While appreciative of the room being cool, the intensity of the cold air was as cold as Hillary Clinton’s demeanor. Ice, ice cold. So cold, that I had to go out to my car and get a windbreaker + hat. Meanwhile, the outdoor conditions were 104 degrees. Go figure.
I usually get a Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich and green iced tea for about $ 10, which is usually fine. Very difficult to mess up, and this PB location did fine. One noticeable thing with this location is that after paying for your order, you are giving a number that you bring back to your table. Afterwards, an employee would bring you the meal. As many PB locations that I’ve been to, this is the first time that I’ve seen this. Who knows? Maybe this is a new change to Panera Bread nationwide.
Ultimately, this location is okay.

Ever since they got the drive through it seems they can’t handle go number of people the have everyday. Not only are they always out of something but tonight my husband and I ordered dinner. He drove 15 min into town to get it, got home and we were missing a full sandwich and cream cheese for all our bagels. I called and they apologized and said they would refund us. He went back to get the sand which and cream cheese and they only gave him 1 cream cheese! I ordered 3!!! I also have yet to see a refund. I will not be returning. They are the only Panera in Edmond though so people don’t have a choice unfortunately.

Panera in Edmond finally got a drive thru! Panera’s food is really high quality and is usually fresh and good. This location isn’t the most efficient in the metro, but the managers and employees are friendly. They forgot one of our cookies in our order, which was a little bit annoying, but not a big deal. I’ll continue to go here for soufflés and sandwiches! Love that it’s convenient to work & home.

Sandwiches are very tasty and authentic, with freshly chopped tomatoes, well cut meat, and zesty cheese. Never been to restaurant with higher quality ingredients. Soups are appetizing but overpriced. Gets crowded on the weekends so expect a short wait time.

I called to place an order on my home from the dog park. The woman on the phone asked for how many people I was ordering for, and I replied «two.» She said that she has several orders in front of me and it would take just as long to come to the store and order there. Um, really? I can’t call in a soup and salad order at Panera any more? I hesitantly decided to go to this Edmond location, left my dog in the car, and finally left with my one salad and one soup a half an hour later. While at the store, I watched as an employee (a manager, I believe) named Lex, walk around the store with an angry scowl on her face. I will be looking for places to pick up dinner from now on.

I would have gave this place more stars but as my friends and I were finishing up our meal, we were told «very politely» by one of the staff that people usually leave when they are finished eating. I felt extremely uncomfortable after that. I did not appreciate that person’s comment at all. After we were existing the location, he went on to question us about our career «testing» our knowledge. He was extremely condescending and passive aggressive.

Tomato soup with grilled cheese is superb! Mac and cheese fun for kids! Greek salad is also good

Typical Panera – pretty friendly service on most days. Food consistently good–

Great place to have lunch or a snack. Also great for a beverage in the afternoon and get on the free wifi and meet new friends. We love it here and parking is great too, give it a try with your friends and family.

There may be better local sandwich shops, but when it comes to the traditional chain sandwich shops, I don’t think any other restaurant holds a candle to Panera. Their food is always tasty, especially their tuna salad sandwich. I’m also a big fan of their garden vegetable soup.
The atmosphere is always chill and the prices are right in line with other sandwich shops in their category. I also enjoy their free Panera card, which pretty much guarantees you a free pastry of your choice whenever you buy a meal… which, let’s be honest… who doesn’t love a good pastry? My only complaint is that I wish that all of their soups were available everyday and not limited to specific days. Other than that, I’m always happy to have something from Panera Bread.

Morning crew was WAY better than lunch crew on Thursday! Smiles from the employees just make everything so much better! They were so sweet to toast my bagel twice without any hesitation and the lady taking our order was just a million times more friendly than «negative Nancy» who took our lunch order on Thursday. Glad I gave it another chance!

I love panera! I’m usually satisfied with whatever I order. For breakfast I love to get the Mediterranean Egg White on Ciabatta and I add steak. It’s delicious! My favorite breakfast sandwich! It has Vermont White Cheddar (which is realllly good), basil pesto, tomatoes and spinach.
Panera also has one of my favorite coffees, the hazelnut. Which is brewed fresh frequently throughout the day, making it a great place to study.
The only thing I don’t like about Panera is that you leave smelling like food and that really bothers me.

My apple chicken salad was stingy on the chicken and my turkey sandwich was dry. I understand times are tough, but restaurants around here can’t expect to continue sacrificing the quality of their end product and still charge premium prices. Get it together.

I’ve been to this location twice– and overall, I do enjoy them. I enjoy the many options they have, it actually makes it difficult to order, because you want to try everything!
I had ordered half a sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup– my sandwich came out before my soup and then I was informed that they ran out of the tomato soup and it would be about 20 minutes for the next batch. I decided to wait, because I didn’t really have anywhere to go and I REALLY wanted tomato soup. Well, 20 minutes goes by and one of the servers came up to me and told me «Your tomato soup is still frozen and it’s not ready yet. I can try to scoop some out and microwave it for you” — I was hesitant (1, because it was FROZEN! and 2 because it wasn’t ready) and he was insistent. At this point, I have waited 20+ minutes, so decided what the heck. He also insisted that I take a soup home with me because of this inconvenience, I passed and said no thanks, but again, he insisted and you can tell he really felt bad. So I agreed and asked what he recommended– he recommended the broccoli cheddar soup and I told him that would be fine.
He brought out my tomato soup and as much as I was excited that it finally arrived at my table– I was SO disappointed in it. You can tell it was frozen and if you have ever froze soup, you know the flavor sinks to the bottom– so my soup was basically watered down. Bless his heart for trying though! I could mentally picture him scrapping the top of the soup, as if he was scooping ice cream.
Next time, no matter how bad I want tomato soup… I have learned my lesson and will just walk away and perhaps try again on a different visit.
For dinner that night, I opened the soup that he had packaged for me… remember, the broccoli cheddar one? Well, it was CLAM CHOWDER! (Sighs). I couldn’t help but to laugh at the whole experience. I might need to find a different location… ha!

Great salads, fresh food. Accommodate special orders :) My fav is the fuji apple salad, I get a whole split into 2 containers and voila…2 fast and yum lunches. The chicken is no antibiotic and hormone free. The dressing on this salad is like candy crack. Tomato and mozz panini also delish! Can’t go wrong for a girls lunch, just watch if you are checking the nutrition, most are pretty high if you actually eat the whole thing.

Ok, there’s so much great about Panera that I can’t give them less than a 4 star review… So good in fact, that I eat there any chance I get. Today was one of those days! I had a pick two with an Italian Combo and the new Chicken Sonoma Stew. I can’t get enough of the {Italian Combo, it is by far one of my favorite café sandwiches, the stew however is a different story. I’d never had a bowl I didn’t like at Panera and since the weather is coolijng down a bit I thought nothing of trying my first stew of the season. WOW! I was in for a big surprise! The biscuit that came in the stew was of a strange texture, and it was served cold (the biscuit, not the stew). The flavor of the stew is hard to explain… it was almost like a pot pie filling, but lacked a spicy and salty component. It was ok at best…
But I still LOVE Panera!

I visited this Panera this morning. The food is on par with other Panera Bread stores I’ve visited. The lighting is better in this one than in others though, which makes a difference to me since I go to a Panera to get an iced tea and sit and read. I like it that early morning goers like myself don’t feel pressured to leave after our bagel is eaten. Overall, I would say the atmosphere is casual and relaxed.
Their iced tea is also the best casual dining iced tea I have encountered in the greater OKC metro.
