Panera Bread

I’ve never got my steak and egg looking like this before. But this time, it’s really bad.

Received gift cards to this place. Not impressed at all. Its like hipster central. The online menu shows pasta dishes drove 20 miles to try this place, having never tried one before, and when we ask about the pasta dishes the people behind the counter are like completely apathetic. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

The dining area is comfortable and the service is good. I spent the day working remotely and taking advantage of the free wifi which is a great plus for a causal dining restaurant in the area. However there is a fly problem in the women’s restroom. There were 15 or so flies on the walls when I went in to use the rest room, definitely could use some pest control.

Love Panera Bread. So glad it’s finally in our area. This location offers you the convenience of finding a seat and they bring the food to you. What a nice touch. My only complaint is that during the busy hours customers should not be allowed to set up shop with laptops and books taking up tables. I have seen this at many locations and it’s frustrating when you want to sit and just eat.

I am so in love with this restaurant. The food is always delicious, the drinks as well. Service is friendly and quick, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. I’ll most definitely be returning!

Lunch was good as usual. I had my usual, grilled cheese & tomato soup and frozen caramel drink. Everything was great except for the cashier, Megan. She was very unpleasant. She didn’t seem to fit in with Panera’s image.

This is such a nice location! And there’s a drive thru. The staff was nice and it was so clean and neat here. Granted, it’s a new location but I hope it stays this way. Everything flows nicely. My favorite Panera items: Greek salad, frontega chicken panini, and tomato soup. The bakery good are delicious too!!! I don’t love their bagels, but their breakfast sandwiches are good.
Also, delicious iced green tea. I wish I could buy it in the stores.

First time going to panera and this is closest one to me. Scanned the menus on the wall for some time before ordering and decided to do the 2 for $ 4.99 half sandwiches with a French baguette (no drink). My boyfriend paid but after waiting for our food we realized we were charged about $ 12. We weren’t really sure if we were ripped off or if we didn’t pick the requirements for the deal so we just waited to eat. After tasting our sandwiches I ran up to get a to-​go menu so my boyfriend and I could see what to order for the road. Both sandwiches we purchased were chicken panini with buffalo sauce and bacon and chicken panini with cheese and veggies and were delicious but since they were both only half sized portions it wasn’t worth $ 12! My bf got the cinnamon crunch scone which he loved (I don’t like scones much), I purchased the French toast and chocolate chip bagels to go untoasted to eat later and a big chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was good, soft yet crispy on the outside. The French toast bagel was so good as was the chocolate chip bagel. Being charged $ 12 for an order that should have been $ 6 – 8 lost a star for me but we sat in a little booth and were served our food as we waited and the breads/​pastries were excellent.

First and foremost, Panera is an excellent chain. Great food quality and variety with slightly higher than average prices. This location is relatively new which is made apparent in the performance of the staff. I feel confident that in time they will find their rhythm. Only a few times has my order been mixed up but was immediately corrected without hassle. The interior is cozy and well laid out. The drive thru is a novel idea but is a bit ambitious due to the fact Panera is not fast food. Others who comment negatively on this should be aware the wait times come with the territory. Pastries are always fresh and plentiful and I have yet to receive anything less than delicious. The cross key area was in desperate need of something this modern. Hands down my favorite spot.

Good Panera food. Clean but basic inside eating area plus takeout window too. Chain can be pricy. But food quality is superb. You get what you pay for. Their Danish is to die for. Watch your calories!

I’m still keeping the four star rating, although I am starting to get frustrated. Made a quick stop for the drive thru (two days after I wrote my first review) after I dropped my daughter off at school. I ordered just a bagel. They asked if I wanted it cut in half and toasted. I said «No, just the bagel please.» I was planning on bringing it home to eat for late breakfast/​lunch later in the day. Get my order and what do you know? My bagel is cut in half and toasted. Every single time!

This is a huge and seemingly new Panera location. I was there for a late lunch and the place was not at all busy. Despite that, service was slow. There was some sort of management pow-​wow in the middle of the store and the result was that those few who had to man the the ship were stressed out.
I ordered the pick-​2 combo of a half steak-​n-​cheese Panini and a cup of soup. The panini arrived pretty small, but that turned out to be ok because it was also lousy — the steak part consisted of two small pieces of gristly meat — there might have been some cheese somewhere and there was a boatload of greasy fried onions that made up the bulk of the offering. As to the soup: evidently Paneras chicken noodle soup recipe no longer calls for either chicken or noodles. I got a stingy tepidly warm cup of broth with a couple of carrots and a hunk of celery floating in it. Throw in the tiny bag of chips and a small Dr. Pepper and this gourmet feast set me back 12 bucks. In the past Ive always been very happy with Panera, but Im starting to suspicion that they’re no longer trying to see how *much* they can give their customer for a dollar — now they’re trying to see how *little* they can give and still get a buck for it.

Try the breakfast bagel sandwiches. If you are looking for something on the healthy side, try the avocado egg white and spinach on sprouted grain flat bread bagel. A freshly prepared choice, which is rare to find in a chain restaurant. All bagels are on the chewy side. For lunch, you can’t go wrong with the frontega chicken panini. If you bring kids, they have courtesy cups for a small juice. Save yourself a buck. Nice outside seating.

This Panera has a drive thru and they deliver to your table after you place your order at the cash register. It store is huge, there’s a lot of space! I got a Mediterranean veggie. It’s always standard and solid for a vegetarian.
My friend got a thai salad bowl. She wasn’t that happy with it.
Cookies, pastries and bagels are always good here. Also they have a hot chocolate with marshmallows with chocolate chips in them!

(Update as of my ¹⁰⁄₁₇ visit to this location)
Today I ordered a rapid pick up order that had the butternut ravioli and soup with baguette as the side choice. I wasn’t given the bread, and the pasta container was jammed into a bag that was too small causing the lid to be open. Needless to say, by the time I got to the office to enjoy my lunch it was cold. The pasta was dry and didn’t seem to have any sauce, which I thought was strange because a co-​worker raved about how delicious the same pasta dish was when she had it last week. With Panera’s prices a bit on the high side, the employees should be cautious to ensure the orders are correct. Especially with a drive-​thru or rapid pick up order when you typically don’t realize the error until you’ve already driven off an arrived at your destination.
I voiced my concerns about this location via the Panera website. I received a response from corporate within a day. They advised me that management at this location was made aware of the issue and would be in touch with me very soon. I still haven’t heard from anyone at the Sicklerville location… I guess they’re not overly concerned in correcting the errors.
I really hope things improve as I’ve never ever had issues with any other location.

Bread was super hard. And the iced green tea tasted like laffy taffys. I told them to try it and tell me if it tasted weird to them. But none of the workers ever tried it or even heard of panera bread or knew that they were working or that they were in this country called «sicklerville»

Finally went here and got the soup in a bread bowl. My usual. However, the bread bowl was sooooo super chewy that I couldn’t even eat it. It requires super human jaw strength. I wouldn’t bother with another bread bowl again. Plus, the tiny amount of soup they give u isn’t worth the $ 6 eventhough the black bean soup was on point. I also got the cobblestone which is my fave bakery item from panera. And even after it sat out all day, it was still awesome. The staff was friendly and it wasn’t busy so they took care of us right away. I’ll go back. I’ll just skip the bread bowl next time.

Swift service and clean establishment. We enjoyed the tomato mozzarella panini with a cup of the new england clam chowder — the sandwich was toasty and well prepared and the soup was delicious. the outside really tries to make the best of its location despite being placed on a very busy network of roads.

I like the convenience of the drive through at this Panera location. The service could be better. They do not put the cream cheese on your bagel, instead they give you a small container. Have you ever tried spreading cream cheese while driving? Me either! I have been there 3 times and not once did they ask for my mypanera rewards card, so I missed out on the points. I tried to go to the website and add the information from my receipts, but it would not let me.
I work in Mt. laurel and find that location to be much more accommodating!
