Panera Bread

I just had the soup and sandwich meal at Panera bread and it was very tasty. My main concern is that the portion versus the price is hard to justify. Don’t get me wrong the food is delicious and I am conflicted on my rating but I just can’t get the price of what I paid out of my head. I will try them again in the near future and see if my rating changes but for now I am going to stick with the current grade.

Been here a few times and loved it. Always great service and great food!

My soup came out ice cold and Cat made me heat it up myself in a microwave by the coffee station. She was very rude about it.

Visited at 11:15 on a Saturday morning; for the amount of food, I find it to be a little overpriced, but the biggest disappointment was the mess. Floors, chairs, and tables – including self-​serve drink area-​were all disgustingly dirty. Should be able to figure out a transitional cleaning plan from breakfast to lunch…

Great for lunch but by dinner they only have half the menu. It is pretty disappointing to be told every other thing you ask for is not available at this time.

It’s not lit.

Had to stop by as I’ve heard many commercials. They had many scones, muffins, turnovers. I got a pumpkin muffin for $ 2.27. It was a big muffin and the top was crusted with a sugary spread. It was delicious, I would buy another. My only annoyance was that I wanted to charge my phone, and the plug was underneath a bench. Had to get on my knees, and look under the bench, plus it was dark, couldn’t get it connected. Being on my knees under a restaurant stool was not my idea of proper dining, so I left with muffin in hand.

Good food, great value and fast WiFi, business as usual. So the reason for 2 stars? Reason 1: Lousy Customer Service. December 4, my bill was $ 5.29, check #144 977. Tried to pay with a ten and a one or $ 11. Wanted a $ 5 bill not 4 ones in my wallet. The cashier/​order taker did not understand and refused to take the $ 1 bill, just the $ 10. Asked why, she provided no coherent response mumbling something about the till telling her how much change to return. After I got my $ 4 plus change back, I tried to give her 5 ones asking for a $ 5 bill. With a dazed and confused look, she refused stating «My till is closed.» I asked her if she was a high school graduate, she says yes. Sadly, I believe her. One reason I like senior workers, they know basic math.
Reason 2: The self service area for busing your dishes was disgustingly dirty, stacked with dishes and crud.
Hope the rest of the staff has more smarts that this chick. Suspect the dirty dishes is an aberration.

Not sure why it says its closed its not. Great food!!! I dont know about the service as I always do rapid pick up!

This location has NOT closed — 11÷4÷15
This is a great place to grab a good salad and cup of coffee. Right off of I-​5.

It was good. I have only tried it once but will go back .Hopefully it will be as good. It is way better than the Everett location.

I love that I can customize my pick 2 items. The service is slow but very friendly. I go here for lunch a couple times a week and have always enjoyed my food. It’s always fresh and delicious.

Wayyy to pricey for what you get… go subway… way better!!! Salad is allll lettece

I just don’t see the big deal
for ten bucks I got a bowl of soup as good as any Campbell’s can soup and a half sandwich that was just ok a little dry and a tiny bag of chips I doubt I’ll be back I can get a better deal elsewhere for my money

My first time eating here and I was pretty impressed. The food was good and fresh. We got takeout using their Rapid Pick Up system. Everything we ordered was in the bag and was high quality.
I only have two complaints. 1) I would like to be able to pick up my order at the drive through. 2) I got a ½ turkey sandwich. Inside my sandwich was one big hunk of turkey that covered half of the sandwich. Clearly no care was put into making my sandwich. It took me 2 seconds to break it up and spread it around, how hard would it have been for the sandwich maker to do that? If they had, my sandwich wouldn’t have fallen apart in the wrapper like it did.
On the plus side, we got: A whole sandwich, a bag of chips, a half sandwich, a cup of soup, and a fruit cup for an even $ 20. I’d say that’s a pretty reasonable cost for those meals. I love the online ordering process, that made it so easy! We’ll definitely go again.

The you pick 2 I ordered was $ 11. The salad was fresh and great. The sweet asian dressing was good and just the right amount of tangy and sweetness to it… not loaded with sugar but it tastes like there was a sugar substitute in there. If I knew it would bother me, I could order something else.
They have several choices for EVERYTHING! And they have an iPad to help you avoid lines and misunderstandings for complicated orders. Their pesto is basic…
The chipotle mayo has enough zing to make me forget it’s mayo.
This particular Panera bread has open-​concept dining which isnt ideal for strangers conjuring in one area… I love Panera and I understand why they did this dining layout. It maximizes space… for me its great for people-​watching.
My favorite sandwich is the Asiago turkey with avocado. My favorite soup is the broccoli cheddar.
If you are like me and particular of how much sauce you like on your sandwich, the iPad order option allows you to put it on the side or mention if you want no, light, reg or extra… even on the side.
I dont trust people with what they think is a light amount so I usually get it on the side.
There are many fast food and great dine-​in restaurants in this area but they wouldnt have a combo deal where I can have half a salad, soup or sandwich. It was still a lot of food for me still, I boxed up half. Half the salad or sandwich and the good chunk of bread they put on the side filled me up. Going to a grill gathering later and wanted something light and refreshing before I ate a burger or something. We will see… I’m not usually a picky eater but recently I’ve made a huge lifestyle change and had introduced alot of fruits and veggies into my diet. I ate at a fast food place last night and it tore my stomach up because it wasnt used to the grease anymore.
I highly recommend this panera if you have allergies or are on a special diet because you really can get something fresh and healthy… flavorful… worth your money and you can order it as selective as you’d like.

This was the nicest Panera I’ve ever been to. It was so clean & the atmosphere was quiet (granted I did go for breakfast & I’m normally in at lunch). The tables were made out of this beautiful wood, they had an outside patio to sit at & a drive through.
The food at any of these locations is good, but not great. The breakfast sandwich selection is a lot larger than I thought it would be though. I just got the bacon, egg & cheese on a cibatta bun (again, good but not great with flavor).
The main reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the look of the inside & how great the atmosphere was.

One of the nicest Panera’s I’ve ever seen. Really cool new look inside and out. So far I’ve only had great service and food as I’ve come to expect here. It is new, so they are still getting up to speed it seems, but that’s normal.
I wish there was more of them and with all drive thru. I love their beads and soups. Just a great place. I also love that they donate all the unused bread and stuff nightly to people in need and make everything fresh every morning. So hard to find that quality and passion these days.
I’ll be back, plus great place to run thru leaving or going to the outlet stores

Everyday I drive by this Panera, and everyday since construction started I’ve had to listen to my 6-​year-​old suggest we dine here. So, today we gave it a try!
Newly built, this Panera is modern and fresh inside. It offers fast-​track ordering via Kiosk iPads. They also have «order from your table» service, and a drive-​thru. There is a little patio outside, which is not yet open for dining.

My first impression of this establishment was: clean, modern, streamlined. However, I found the seating less comfortable than older Paneras. The benches were hardwood, and ran the entire length of the restaurant, so whenever a patron at another table got up or down, the bench vibrated.
I did enjoy the extra customer service on hand. A young man bused our table, which I have never experienced at other Paneras. I’m not a fan of the cafeteria style setup where one pays full service prices but is expected to bus their own table. I didn’t see the usual dish-​return stations, so maybe this establishment offers a little more service? For the price of the food, bus service should be complimentary.
Food was good, and the beverage station was tidy. Restrooms were clean.

We do panera in Everett every Sunday after church and we were so happy to have one bread home! How unfortunate that the food sucked!!!
Panini sandwiches (fontina grilled cheese) did not have a crispy cheese top like they always do it (in Everett) and my sons mac n cheese was uncooked noodles and watery! I love their panera mac n cheese but not here! We asked them to recook it and it was again, watery and not even all the way cooked! How do you jack up pre packaged mac n cheese that you need to heat up?!?
I will drive the extra miles to go to Everett.
P. s. It feels like a cafeteria in the new location. Hard chairs and not a «homey feel» with the cushioned seats. What a shame!
