About Panera Bread

Panera Bread continues to offer a variety of fresh and wholesome menu options, though the quality has been inconsistent at times. The salad with chicken was found to be overly vinegary, and the chicken tasted processed. However, the iced tea was positively delicious. The new Bradenton, Florida location is smaller, with bright lighting and lacks the intimate atmosphere of booths. Despite the changes, the staff remains friendly and helpful. While the Green Space adjacent to the outdoor seating area is unfortunately littered with cigarette butts, the overall customer service at Panera Bread is commendable, with staff resolving order mix-ups promptly and without additional charges. The larger new location presents opportunities for improved organization, such as line markers and better communication between front-of-house staff and customers.

Share your opinion about Panera Bread

i would love to say the location is the bomb but it's not!!! old location may have been smaller but was way more organized. I never had any mess up orders. I have been to the new location 3 times now. I should know to check my bag! broccoli cheese soup bowl, drink and cookie ordered. where's my bread bowl??? Also let's get some organization like line markers to tell people where to stand to wait. front of the house taking orders need to be able to communicate with the customers....read full review
I went to Panera this morning to pick something up for breakfast and unfortunately their credit card machine was down. I was in the Drive-Thru and I couldn't figure out what was taking so long until the gentleman came back and told me that the credit card machine was down and that today's order was on them. They were not charging me. Hopefully they will be able to get their issue resolved quickly but for me. Thank you Panera for your excellent customer service..
Yes the sign says Panera, so you will think it’s like any other one. But this Panera has something no other restaurant has, and that’s Leon.

Leon has such a contagious smile and he is always walking around making sure everyone has everything they need. Starting short conversations to brighten your day.
Great customer service and an amazing attitude.

Thank you Leon for making my day better.
