Panera Bread

Ordered the new Thai broth bowl. It was a bit spicy. I found a hair in it and brought it back up to the counter. I was surprised the manager didn’t ask if I wanted a new one or something else. Very disappointing.

The trouble with Panera is that the food is amazingly yummy yet waaaayyy over priced! I got a soup and half a sandwich and so did my husband and it was just about $ 30!!! And the portions are super small! Come on Panera, you are in America, home of the super sized and ur gonna charge that amount for a friggen half a sandwich with a small cup of soup!!! Its ridiculous, I love the food but make it bigger portions for less money and then you’d really be in business!

I love Panera Bread sandwiches and especially their smoothies. However I’m conflicted I like to order via the app & get large smoothies but they never seem to give me a large even after I specify on the printed order receipt of the size.
I love you Panera but… 3!
Place is clean & food comes out.

This is the spot in Lisbon for little group chats. Although the food is pricier, or more expensive to a broke college girl, it is a great spot to grab a bite to eat and catch up with old friends. As a student a few friends and I would come here to get delicious food and study for our finals. The line if any passed quickly and our food was ready in a timely manner.

As a chain it stands out above the rest. Bread and Pastries are fresh and still have the crunch yet soft texture.
Tried the lobster roll. Lots of quality meat but no flavor. Ended up sprinkling some salt on it. (Not something that I do).

Had a very tasteless lobster roll here. People were nice. The roll looked fine. Could perhaps have used more mayo. I’m not sure why it had no flavor but my best guess is the lack of sufficient mayo and probably frozen canned lobster meat. If you’re going to do this dish and charge a high price for it, you should do it well. I’ve heard good things about Panera but this experience taught me that they don’t really care about the flavor of the food they serve. They should take this item off the menu if this is how they are going to serve it.
Size-​wise it was fine. Bread should have been toasted and buttered.

Stopped here for quick bite midway between Stratford, CT. and Smithfield, RI.
Ordered «2 for» cup of turkey chile and ½ turkey cranberry flatbread, cup of coffee.
Bill came to 12.84, Chili was watered down and did not even fill the cup ¾ of way.
½ flatbread mushy, 2 small pieces of turkey and about 6 pieces of leaf spinach. Cranberry spears was watery. Such a disappointment! Love their oatmeal I get occ. in the AM but this lunch was horrible. Was not worth $ 5.00, never mind almost 11.00! will never have lunch there again. What is happening! You cannot raise prices and lower quality of food and not have people notice! Do something before it is too late.

I’m really not sure I’ve been impressed with any Panera’s I’ve eaten at. When you charge $ 4+ for a kids PB&J…c’mon. I’ve tried, without luck to keep the bill (for 2, mind you) to under $ 20 for a bite to eat and drink and it is impossible!
This location is ehh. Could be kept up quite a bit more – tables, bathrooms, etc… the staff is all teenage socialites for the most part, so that is reflected in the way the location is run. It’s a nice place to sit down and have space to relax for a bit, it’s just hard to find something to eat that fills you up at a cost worth spending…

Awesome café. They do such a nice job.

We used to love picking up lunch here, then heading to the movies. Over the past year, we’ve watched the portion sizes shrink, though, while the prices have gone up. (Meanwhile, the Panera in Waterford is less expensive and boasts larger portion sizes.) It’s hard for us to enjoy lunch at this location anymore because we feel like we’re being ripped off. The food is okay. Standard. Not bad, not amazing. Same for the service.

A great place to stop. Right of the high way. Perfect location.

I stopped in this location with my parents one Sunday morning for a late breakfast. This location is large and I really enjoyed the outside seating area (even though your only view is of the immense parking lot).
Upon ordering, my parents knew what they wanted and placed their order right away. I was standing directly to the side of them and before I was able to place my order, the young female cashier rang up my parents, leaving my order to be placed separately (awkward).
I eventually decided on a cinnamon bun and a coffee. I am given a cold cinnamon bun on a plate and an empty cup. Apparently you pour and prepare the coffee yourself from various canisters of flavors. The coffee tasted like it hadn’t been changed out since earlier that morning and was lukewarm at best. I then asked if they could warm up the cinnamon bun for me and the girl behind the counter points to a microwave in the center island; no words, no explanation, just points at the microwave.
A couple months later, my mother also placed a large to-​go order of breakfast goodies, as we had about ten guests staying in our home. She drives twenty minutes home only to find that they forgot the cream cheese for our bagels and our entire danish ring. She calls to see if anything can be done and is told the only way it could be rectified is if she drove back to the store that day.
Bad customer service all around at this location. Even though Lisbon is lacking in high quality dining options, I don’t see myself visiting this Panera again.

I love Panera Bread in general. The food and service here is consistent with other Paneras I have been to, except a little smaller and less seating. I enjoy the outdoor space they have created. I’m particularly happy that there is place in this area to bring my laptop to, since it appears to be a scarcity.
