Service amazing!

Leslie Hagerty

My recent experience at Panera Bread Aloma was in the drive-through and it was quite unique. While I found the pricing somewhat unexpected, the exceptional service provided by Sophie, who thoughtfully explained the menu to me, ensured a positive encounter. I will be coming back.

Panera bread is the best place for me too go to to have a soup and chips and have a drink with it.

Cool,beautiful atmosphere, servers and cashiers are when approaching my friend and I and directing us to where we could pick up our food. We ordered a bowl of broccoli soup with a piese of French bread and two flavored teas. The soups and flavord teas were delicious šŸ˜‹ The price was just right for our budget that day. And I would recommend this place to all my friends because it was very clean.

I’ve given this place my buisness for some time but it seems to keep getting worst as I continue to spend my money with Panera. This location specifically. Specially if you go after 1PM I’m not sure if that’s when shift changes but it’s bad. The girl in drive thru Aisha asks you ā€œanything elseā€ in an annoyed voice when all I ask if for a simple order for one person. They constantly forget the side items, the bread usually stale. There is no consistency. The half sandwich will come in a smaller bread than the side. The sandwich assembly is simply sloppy and messy. One day the soup will be watery, the next will be thick and dark. Not sure why it’s so pricey too for 14$. This is my fault though for trying to give them a chance. Will not spend a single dollar here again.

First thing I said was that it was my first time and needed time to examine the menu yet the cashier kept asking and rushing with no line back up what so ever ( this was the team lead)

The staff is very friendly and their summer strawberry poppy seed chicken salad is amazing. With the baguette as the side, it's perfect.

The quality of the meal no longer seems worth the money. I still love the tuna salad though.

Review for Panera Bread

I visited this Panera Bread location to use my Unlimited Sip Club membership. When I walked in and asked for a drink, I was assisted by someone wearing a ā€œTeam Leadā€ tag—though no name was displayed. I gave her my phone number multiple times, clearly and slowly, but she insisted it wasn’t showing up in the system.

She then called over another associate named Sophia, who entered my number once and had it working immediately. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, the team lead told me I must have given the wrong number and swapped digits, which I knew was untrue. I’ve had the same number for 15 years and repeated it multiple times. At that point, I chose not to respond further, because any reply would’ve felt disrespectful, and I try to avoid escalating situations.

What made the experience even more disappointing was her attitude—no smile, no friendly tone, no kindness. It was clear she didn’t want to be there, and unfortunately, that energy was affecting the entire team. While waiting, I noticed the back-of-house team seemed tense and stressed, which says a lot about how a leader’s mood can impact the whole environment.

I fully understand that team leads have many responsibilities—but taking on that role also means choosing to treat guests with care, respect, and a positive attitude. I hope leadership at this location takes this to heart and supports both the staff and the guest experience moving forward.

Friendly staff. Clean inside and out, display case orderly. Food was very good; soup was hot.
