Panera Bread Reviews
Wish I could have given 0 but lowest is 1 on yelp! Very disappointed with service from federal highway location in Fort Lauderdale. No spoon or straw and the French onion soup I got didn't even cover the bottom. I called the store and was told it's policy to give that size soup even though the bread bowl soup which fills the bowl is the same price! I spoke with the night shift manager who told me her name was 1099 was extremely rude and would not supply name I said I would...read full review
The manager is very rude. Stand in line for 20 minutes behind one couple and still can’t get anything. Slow as hell and hardly any bagels to pick from. Not ran very efficient. And the way you get dirty looks if you ask about something is horrible. Always new people can’t keep staff bad management

Panera Bread offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with friendly staff, including a manager who returned a lost wallet with cash still inside. The restaurant is very clean and feels safe, with a bathroom that is well-maintained. Customers often appreciate the exceptional service, noting that the manager is always kind and smiling. The staff, like cashier Marisol, provide good service, and many enjoy the coffee, especially the hazelnut flavor.
While some find the self-service coffee station can be confusing at times, the food generally tastes great when prepared correctly. Customers have enjoyed items like the Pick 2, which includes a limited edition grilled cheese sandwich with Verde sauce (asked for on the side), and a half Greek salad that is flavorful, though some wish for more dressing. The blueberry lavender lemonade is also popular and considered a favorite.
People have also used this location for relaxing or studying, finding it respectful and comfortable even during difficult times. Overall, the restaurant’s good food, clean environment, and attentive staff make it a well-loved spot for many customers.
