Panera Bread

This location was a tighter fitting for my comfort I felt like the tables were to close together and I had to squeeze my way through the other guest which I’m sure they weren’t to happy for it either. The food was great I had a half panini/​half salad combo, my friend had a weird stale pickle, it’s not only about speed it’s also about quality for the guest so I recommend that the employees make sure every single condiment is fresh and worth eating. It’s not hard. Thank you for the great customer service it was pleasant to have great attitudes greeting you.

Price is a bit on the high side (and deserving of the $$s), but at least the food is healthy and quality is generally good.
Love the «rapid pick-​up order» on the Panera app for it’s convenience and ability to customize your order. Have «rapid ordered» several times with food pick-​up available in 10 minutes. The downside is that more times than not, something is been missing in my meals. Not worth driving back to get the missing chicken, side, or sauce. Solana Panera either needs to get their accuracy better, or maybe Panera Corporate needs to not offer 10 minute turnaround times.
I’m a fan of the salads (thai chicken, chicken soba noodle, a fuji apple chicken) and the autumn pumpkin/​squash soup (when it’s in season). Broth bowls and french onion soup are a bit too salty for my taste.

Manager Richard very rude, unnecessarily passive aggressive and created a toxic environment. Nothing Panera Bread should want in customer service.

I am not sure why it is that every time I come to this location, there are always dirty tables. There is absolutely no reason why a tables should be left unbussed for more than 5 minutes. I watched a table sit dirty for over 20 minutes. Lastly, on my visit today, my order was incorrect.

It’s Panera Bread. It’s a chain. Which means that no matter where in the world you go, the experience is exactly the same. The same bakery at the front with bagels and pastries layout. The same funky delivery system that is both pickup and service. The same color scheme. Panera is literally the same no matter where you go — with the exception of the servers. Service here is standard. Food here is the standard Panera fare. Wifi is free but remember that they kick you off after an hour if it’s during busy hours.
TL;DR It’s a Panera. Seriously. It’s not something pretending to be Panera. It’s Panera.

We arrived at this Panera Bread early on a Sunday, about 7:30AM. There were no other customers at that time. The woman working was super friendly, the problem was the cleanliness of the restaurant. It was filthy! Dust and crumbs on the tables and counters. There was a wad of chewing gum on the bench where you are supposed to sit waiting for to-​go food. That early I would have thought the restaurant would be clean, it was far from it. The carpet had not been vacuumed, it was a real disappointment to see how dirty everything was.

I called ahead, and my order was waiting when I arrived. Sadly, they didn’t indicate where the order was waiting, and nobody asked to help me for at least five (5) minutes. As «to go» orders came to the counter, names were called and people took their bags and hit the door. I was waiting and listening intently, but nothing…
Finally someone guided me to where my food had been sitting for probably 10 minutes, and now I know. I hate learning things the hard way…

We have had some really nice meals at Panera, but todays experience was horrific.
My daughter walked into Panera her happy, healthy usual self, hungry because she hadn’t eaten for hours — but she was feeling good.
She had the chicken noodle soup for lunch and a bagel. Half an hour later she started to feel nauseous, and she turned very pale. About 90 minutes later she started throwing up, and has been very sick and experiencing sharp stomach pains since about 3pm (it’s now almost 10pm). And the really sad part, she had to miss a school dance tonight that she was so looking forward to, and she volunteers for Conservation Corps at the Safari Park and she is devastated she won’t be able to go to that tomorrow morning, all because she ate Panera Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch.
I called Panera to tell them that I think their chicken soup may be bad because my daughter was really ill and hadn’t really eaten anything else today. (I was hoping to prevent another poor soul from becoming violently ill).
Instead of showing any concern for my daughter or any of the other customers who may have eaten the soup, the man who answered the phone was very defensive and immediately said that no-​one else had complained and she must have gotten sick from somewhere else. He took my name and number and said the manager would contact me again if anyone else complained.
I could be wrong, but I really believe she got sick from the soup since it was all she ate and no-​one else in our party had the chicken noodle soup, and we are all fine.
Regardless, the Panera representative answering the phone still could have been polite and perhaps even shown a tiny bit of (even faked) concern by saying something like «I hope your daughter feels better soon», which he could have done without admitting any «fault» on Panera’s side. Instead he was rude, defensive and uncaring, and so he chased us, loyal customers for years, away because I will not go there again — not because of the bad food experience, but because of the callous way my call was handled.

This Panera is on the pathway to success…
All the peeps there are cool af
Food is always speedy quick
Nice outdoor area
I’d give 5 stars if the food was piped up

I enjoy Panera Bread. I love there YOU PICK TWO. Half salad, half sandwich or cup of soup: you get to mix and match. A good deal for lunch or dinner. Be sure to check out the caloric intake if you are dieting (I dislike diets; it has the word DIE in it) or changing your lifestyle. The food is really good, but that goodness comes with calories and sodium!
This is my favorite Panera Bread as it is close to my job and whether I go in for breakfast or a late lunch, it is always tasty and good. The people are very friendly too. Make sure you sign up for the Panera Bread Club, why would you say no to free food!

Panera, it’s pretty good. I go to Panera only when I need to use free WiFi when I am killing time between work appts. Today, my first appt of the day forgot about our meeting so I had an hour to kill. So I took myself to breakfast at Panera to get some work done while I waited.
I got the Turkey Sausage Power Breakfast Sandwich or whatever. I added Avocado.
It was a complete MESS to eat. I posted a pic of this. Right when he brought it to my table (which I had to clean myself, it was dirty, so I got some napkins from the front counter. Ugh) it was already falling apart. The egg white and sausage seem to be somewhat mixed together? I dont’ know. It was super messy and irritating to eat. I am not there with my 3 dirty little kids, I am not retired… I am dressed in business attire and have to see clients later. So a super messy meal is not happy for me.
Anyway, it tasted good. And pretty much everything I have had there, ever, has tasted good. I typically get sandwich and salad, all are tasty from recollection, and the free WiFi is a bonus. I have to go to Starbucks often for this freebie, so it’s nice to have alternatives.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat while running errands. We ordered two 2 meal deals. One was a sandwich and broccoli soup, the other was the Mediterranean salad with half a BBq turkey sandwich that came folded in a pita type bread. The guy at the counter recommended the salad. The sandwich I ordered had a pic at the front and it looked good, so I choose that one. Really yummy. I wish I could remember what it had on it! I posted pics of everything. My friend loved the soup, it comes in a very small bowl and the sandwiches are halved. I devoured my salad and brought the sandwich home and had it the next day. The only thing I don’t like is that when you order anything special (ie dressing on the side) they never get it right. But that being said, not bad for a quick stop and some decently healthy food.

Came here after my work out this morning and got the Egg white, avocado and spinach sandwich as well as the ham and Swiss soufflé. To top it all off, I also added a caffe latte for my caffeine fix. I paid $ 13 for all of it which I feel isn’t a bad deal considering everything. Location is clean, staff is friendly and the food only takes 5 – 10 minutes max to come out!

Little disappointed. First breakfast sandwich I have had Panera. Didn’t look appetizing. I think it was made correctly but I it look like something burger king makes in the morning.
Had many of their lunch sandwiches and I have liked them. Sent this back and got a bagel with cream cheese.

I got the Turkey BLT to find out that there’s nothing but the lettuce in the sandwich. Half slice of bacon and barely any turkey in it. Place went down hill.

Over it. In spite of the fact that my daughters LOVE this broccoli cheese soup, particularly in the bread bowls, I have lost count of how many times these guys have screwed up orders.
Typically, it’s a pick up order, that I“m rushing to grab on my way home. The first handful of times, it was something simple (unless you’re a young girl who had her heart set on a bread bowl instead of a to-​go cup), and not worth a return trip/​call. But when this became the norm (either the bread bowls missing, or the additional dressing you’d ordered), they start to add up.
I’ve never been the type to inspect a to-​go bag when it’s handed to me. I’ve erred on the side of trusting that the order has been put together with care, so it was awkward for me when I had to start pulling stuff out the bag to confirm contents. I felt like «that guy». Trouble is, in most cases, there was something missing or wrong.
Fast forward to last night, my oldest daughter’s birthday. She gets to pick the place for dinner, and confidently blurts out «Panera!» As we’re planning to dine on premise, my wife and I figure, «how bad can it be?» Well, apparently, the problem is not limited to take-​out.
I’ll stipulate, my wife’s orders can be a bit of a hassle. She’s pretty particular, and had ordered a salad without the cheese, and with the chicken warmed up. She also subbed chips for the bread. When our plates arrived, the wife’s salad was not right (though it had been rung up correctly), and our birthday girl’s bread bowl of broccoli cheese soup was missing. Two more attempts at getting the salad right, and our food runner apologetically delivered – explaining that they would comp the salad. Took my wife and daughter 10 minutes to catch up with the rest of the family, meanwhile, no visit to the table by anyone, and no refund issued.
Finally got up to inquire about the refund on the salad, and when I finally got to speak to the floor manager, it was as if she’d not heard a word about it.
Not the end of the world, by any means, but it’s clear to me that the Panera folks have not solved what appears to be a pretty prevalent problem. Hire an expediter. You will more than recoup the increased labor cost by not remaking items, and/​or losing repeat business.

Bummer. I thought they were quality but. Got a to go sandwich. Nice box. Presentation was perfect. But sandwich was soggy awful mess. Vegetarian to go. Not. Capreise… lol. capricious.

I love every Panera store but theres something about this one that makes me feel so welcomed and special. It could be the service and how they greet u every time they pass. By. Or that the set up of. The restaurant is so nice.

I feel like Panera has to have better options than what I ordered but I was greatly unimpressed with my sandwich.
I chose the Smokehouse Turkey Panini and I suppose I should have figured that it featured smoked turkey given the name but I wasn’t prepared for it. I’m not a big fan of smoked meats and would have preferred an oven roasted turkey instead. The meat didn’t even look like turkey and more closely resembled ham, which I don’t eat at all. I’m hoping it was just the smoked factor that made it look like ham and not that it actually was. I asked the cashier what else came on the sandwich and he mentioned bacon (which I asked to be removed) and mustard. What he didn’t tell me was that it wasn’t normal mustard but instead a sundried tomato mustard that I found to be too overwhelming. I also was unaware that the sandwich included cheddar cheese (I’m more of a swiss fan). My suggestion to Panera would be to display all their sandwich ingredients so people aren’t taken by surprise as much as I was.
I’ve been to Panera before and know that they make food that is much better than this and that’s why I’m willing to give them three stars still. Now I just need to figure out what a better menu option would be for me.

Okay, yes, it’s just Panera. It’s chain and they are all pretty much the same. The food is good enough. You don’t come to Panera because you are out for an amazing meal or trying to be adventurous. But I must admit, I crave the breakfast soufflés and the Mac and Cheese is outstanding. I’ll also throw in that it’s weird that you only get a packet of cream cheese with your bagel. This is a bakery, that sells bagels & yet they just can’t spread on your cream cheese? (Well, I guess the bagels across the street are better anyway).
The reason I love this Panera is that it’s always clean and pretty quiet (even when the middle school next door gets out). The employees are super nice too. It’s a great place to use the free wi-​fi to work. There’s also ample space to have morning meetings. It’s the best place to meet around breakfast time in the area.
