Panera Bread

Actually… no stars! This place is the pits!!! Dirty and horribly managed! You can also tell, that the staff is miserable! I ordered my bagel toasted and it came out toasted ice cold! I ordered a Carmel latte (iced) it tasted like milk with no ice! When I mentioned it to manager she remade it but, went behind counter and talked unpleasantly about me! Who does she think she is? WORST experience EVER! #paneraisthepits

Went to Panera today at 3:00 PM, store was not busy at all, there were maybe 8 couples eating in the whole restaurant. Our food came out very quickly; but there was very little salad dressing on my salad; sandwich was soggy on bottom and messy, looked like it was put together in a hurry. The dining area where we sat has about 15 tables, 3 were occupied by couples. Then an employee came out with a carpet sweeper, she wanted the customers sitting at tables to move their feet so she could sweep under the tables while these customers were eating, and the tables with no customers that did require sweeping were not swept. I think the manager at this store needs to pay more attention to the employees’ work.

Dirty dirty !! should go to Sarasota or north port so much better & clean employees are rude & the manager does not care !!

I have come here many times and was never impressed with the service, but the food was always good. One of my favorites is the tomato soup, but today I was served a bowl of watery barely seasoned tomato-​y stuff — very disappointed. It was literally as if they added water to make it last longer. I ordered a cappuccino, which is prepared separately and called out when ready. After waiting about 10 minutes, I approached the counter to see what happened to my drink, and someone doing paperwork called who I assume to be the manager, pointed at me and said «she ordered a cappuccino». The manager glared at me with a very unfriendly expression on her face, checked the machine for the slip that prints out for the orders, and got busy, not saying a word to me. I sat back down, hoping I would hear her call when it was ready, but when I checked after about 5 minutes, the drink was just sitting there on the counter. This kind of «service» will keep me from returning, for sure. There are lots of Panera restaurants around, so it’s no loss to me.

Panera bread always has good eating, just not that healthy haha. Hubby & I went through drive-​thru after a day at the beach on a Saturday afternoon. The place was hopping, and the drive-​thru was even busy. The sandwiches were made to order and the employee working the window was friendly. I would definitely return back, as I loved the Panera back home in NJ.

The food was consistently good at this location; however, the restaurant was quite messy and the layout was not ideal when busy.

Eh, it’s a Panera. What do I mean by that? It follows the formula and does not offer anything new, exciting, or interesting worth mentioning. It’s in a strip mall, has everything you’d expect and seemed fairly clean.
