Panera Bread in Tampa

“I went in around 9:45am not many people so the selection was pretty good and you would think what you order would be what you receive. One of the items I ordered was for myself…a cinnamon crunch bagel, TOASTED, with cream cheese. My bagel was not toasted and by the time I figured it out, I was at my destination with no way to toast it myself, which I shouldn’t have to. SMH“

“Like that you can order 1/2 a sandwich. The chicken they use tastes very fresh and is pretty good. Now with the pick 2 you can get different combinations of soup, sandwich and salad. Today it was pretty busy, food took longer than usual but not as much as I expected.“

“I used a gift card to enjoy a 2fer:
one half of a hot chicken & bacon sandwich, a small bowl of broccoli & cheddar soup.
If you are not a fan of toasted bread, you can ask that your hot sandwich be'lightly toasted''.

Both the hot sandwich & soup were delicious.“

“Stopped by Panera for a quick bite and, as always, they didn’t disappoint! I grabbed the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and a side of Broccoli Cheddar Soup with chips — the perfect combo. And yes, I couldn’t resist the Oatmeal Berry Cookie for a little sweet finish. The best part? The cashier was an absolute delight to chat with, making the quick run even brighter. Always a win at Panera!“

“Listen!!! I don't know what angels are assigned to the location on causeway but hunny the Flatbread there is Heavenly. The customer service is on point and DON'T get me started on the soup with that warm bread.... y'all pull up 10/10“

“I’m a regular at Panera Bread—I visit daily, sometimes multiple times a day, at locations all over Tampa. It’s my go-to spot for a good coffee and a quiet place to work (or at least that’s the dream).

However, some locations could really benefit from enforcing a no-loitering policy or setting a time limit. I’ve walked into spots where it feels like a domino tournament is in full swing or someone’s hosting a board meeting (complete with pie charts, I kid you not). And then there are the “regulars” who are so regular they might as well have their mail forwarded there.

All this traffic means the restrooms can get… uh, let’s just say “well-loved.” Occasionally, they’re a little dirty, a little smelly, and sometimes straight-up intimidating. (I’ve seen cleaner port-a-potties at a music festival.)

Panera, I love you, but maybe it’s time to reel it in a bit—less “community center,” more “café.” A little enforcement could go a long way in keeping the experience pleasant for everyone. Still, your food and coffee keep me coming back. I just try to steer clear of the restroom roulette.“

“Dalton and the young man that made my sandwich were awesome and friendly. I enjoyed working with them and had great conversation with the both of them. The manager who was behind the counter doing counts near the checkout counter sneezed and didn't wah his hands continelued to do his counts and not even wash his hands. That was a big turn off for me to come back to this location.“

“Great quick stop for a hibiscus tea with my Sips Club. Why does the kiosk not allow a no ice option? I also tried a sprinkles cookie that looked like a popsicle or a perfume bottle. Super cute and super sweet! Hibiscus tea, citrus punch and blue berry lemonade is be hind the counter but Pepsi fountain drinks, green tea, lemonade, and black tea are out in central area
