About Panera Bread

Panera Bread offers a convenient and efficient in-store experience, with a kiosk ordering system that allows customers to quickly and easily place their orders. The restaurant also takes customer service seriously, as demonstrated by the staff's prompt resolution of a missing item issue, complete with sweet treats as a gesture of goodwill. The location is clean and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that encourages customers to linger. Visitors appreciate the fast and friendly service, especially during busy times, and enjoy the simple but delicious selection of salads, sandwiches, soups, and bakery items. The Pick 2 option with half a sandwich and a cup of soup is a popular choice. While the food generally arrives hot and fresh, some customers note that the to-go cup of chicken noodle soup may not always be filled completely. The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegetarian options and allows for sandwich customization to meet dietary needs. Parking is available around the building, though spaces can fill up quickly during busy hours. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with well-spaced tables that accommodate guests with mobility aids, and features dedicated kid’s options for families. However, there is no Drive-Thru, which some customers find acceptable. Overall, many customers would dine here again, especially if they are staying nearby.

I was carving a salad and went in and ordered a Chicken Ceasar and took it home. I could not believe they served that lettuce to me. it was all the yellow and hard white pieces of the letuce. it was disgusting and you should be very disappointed in what is served when paying $11 plus dollars for a salad

The delivery service is bad. I got confirmation that my order was going to be delivered in 11 minutes but the driver bypassed the location. A few minutes later got another message stating that my order delivering time changed and that my order was going to be delivered in 15 minutes and after that I got another message indicating that my delivery time was going to be 15 minutes. My lunch time ended, so I had to call the store to informed them about the issue, the person who answered...read full review
