Panera Bread

My husband and I have been numerous times over the years. Overall we like it. However this evening I had at least 15 pieces of bad lettuce in my salad. I took them out and put them on a napkin. Unacceptable! The restroom was very dirty and not just a days worth but many days. Unacceptable! Someone is not paying attention to the details.

Always delicious and my favorite is this Mac and cheese! A bit up in the price but always good and fresh.

This a pretty solid establishment. Ordering is easier then ever because you can now order online and customize every little detail of your meal. I suggest trying the iced green tea which is infused with passion fruit — it’s refreshing and tasty. Some other good choices are the asian sesame salad, tuna sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup. Decent prices, the pick 2 combo is a great deal. Also they have a HUGE bakery full of fatty treats. Service is always good.

My first review of a chain restaurant… Why would you bother they are all the same… Well not this one… Went buy for a quick dinner around 5:30 pm with the family after buying a new washing machine a sears. I tried ordering the fontega chicken… However they were out of the foccia bread… So then I asked for the asiago steak sandwich they were out of the asiago bread for that so I had to get it on a cibbata bread! Really why have a menu or have bread in your name if you aren’t going to bake enough bread! Not like it’s 9pm here (was around 5:30pm) The cibbata was way to thick for this sandwich and overall the asiago bread is what makes the sandwich! My son got a peanut butter and jelly on white that’s was well lacking in the filling department to say the least… My wife order the soba noodle chicken bowl… Here only comment: they should stick to sandwiches… (if only they had bread I would have agreed) To top it all off my wife and sons food came out first, my sandwich came out more then 5 minutes later… The women behind the counter explained they didn’t want the noodle bowl to get cold… :-(Very disappointed to say the least…

Always a good place to stop for lunch or a snack. A little overpriced but the food is always fresh and made well. Great coffee and I love all of the salads. Panera is a great place to chat with friends-​it has a very inviting atmosphere. Only complaint to add is that it’s usually freezing inside!

Food is always fresh and tasty. Service is usually pretty good, although most of the time there is a pretty large line. With the food being made up front and all the people it can be a little too loud sometimes. The sound carries.

Always good, always busy. If you’re in a hurry for a great salad you’ve found the place. Kind of sucks when you are there to eat and half the place is tied up with folks with laptops drinking coffee surfing the Internet. But it is what it is. 4 for food however a 3 overall.

I got a bowl of chicken noodle soup, which was okay. It came with a slice of bread and it was very fresh. Abner loved his fontina grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. You can tell it is a chain, but if I liked the sitting area around the fireplace and looks like a good place to go for coffee and talking.

As expected pretty good. Had the chipotle sandwich and french onion soup. Overall, ok experience.

panera is panera.
once you have been to one, you have been to them all.
i do love the food! i always get the same thing and live for their iced green tea (i never come without one!).
the staff here is actually really nice!
great place to meet up with friends or get some homework done!

There is a lot to say about this place. When I first saw Panera Bread, I was actually intimidated just by looking into the restaurant.
Panera Bread’s atmosphere has to be probably the best restaurant atmosphere in south coast Massachusetts. If your just there by yourself, then the front of the place is the place for you. In the front, there is a fireplace surrounded by very comfortable leather chairs. If your with three or four other people, then you should just go and get a booth or sit at the little bar in the back. The walls and tables have a burnt sienna and a comforting brown color that makes you think of the quintessential coffe shop.
When it comes to the food, I would go for any of the reasonably portioned Panini’s. The panini I enjoyed the most was the Smokehouse Turkey. But if your on a diet, or you just don’t want a big meal, then I would go for one of the salads (My personal favorite is the Caesar). The salads are probably the most appropriately priced meal in the place at about three or four dollars. And when it comes to the kids, they have a grilled cheese, peanut butter jelly, and a deli sandwich, for a good three or four dollars.
But the star of Panera Bread isn’t the food, it’s the drinks! Panera has a large variety of iced coffee and chocolaty drinks, Tea, and rare soda that is pretty much only sold in specialty stores. If you want to get a cheap drink, then get a Jones soda. Jones is just perfect for Panera because it has personality (even on a soda). The Jones soda runs for about two dollars. The green tea is served in a wide, glass mug with the most pleasant smelling smell in the place. But my favorite of all the drinks is the iced mocha. Yeah, it may be a little fatty, but it is just too good to pass up. They also have an iced caramel, and a wide variety of delicious fruity drinks.
The one drawback of Panera Bread is the price. All the Panini’s are about six dollars, but they come with a piece of bread, an apple, or a bag of kettle chips. The iced drinks (which I think are the most best things on the menu) are overpriced too. Most of the iced drinks go for about five dollars.
Panera Bread has the best vibe, and smells anywhere around, and the food to match.

chain restaurant. free wi-​fi. usually pretty busy around dinner time, i suggest if you’re with more than one person to snag a booth or table before you place your order. even though the sandwiches are pre-​made, they’re popped in the oven and toasted and are usually pretty good. if you get the «you pick two» option you get a half a sandwich (which is usually enough), a side salad or soup (i usually get caesar with is a little over-​dressed but still good) and the choice of a white or wheat bread roll, bag of chips (kettle chips) or an apple. the rolls are usually hit or miss, usually when i get them they’re hard and a few hours old. the iced green tea is really good, but only in a kind of small cup. best thing to do for drinks is to just buy a small soda and keep refilling it. the pizza thingies they offer are really good too, they usually take awhile to cook and are small (good for two people, really) and a bit expensive but still okay. the place can be a bit messy sometimes, but hey, what do you expect for borderline fast food?
