Panera Bread offers a delicious dining experience with friendly employees. The chicken avocado BLT is a must-try, described as perfection. The wait time for food is short, around 7 to 10 minutes, even during busy lunch hours. The workers are always polite, which is impressive considering the challenges of working in places seen as temporary jobs. Customers recommend the Mac and cheese, Chipotle chicken melt, and the green tea.
However, some customers found the loud food order announcements and unfamiliar ordering process slightly confusing. The dining area is clean and bright with plenty of seating, but the service can be slow, with one customer waiting 40 minutes for a lunch order for 2 people. Another customer who ordered on the mobile app waited 30 minutes for a half sandwich and soup, despite arriving before the lunch rush. While the food is fresh and hot, some customers feel it is overpriced for the quality, quantity, and service speed.
Overall, Panera Bread provides a tasty meal, but the service and pricing could be improved to enhance the customer experience.
