Panera Bread Reviews
I have been to multiple locations and I always have a fabulous experience! 😸❤️
Stopped in for dinner last night and bought 7 bagels and cream cheese for breakfast this morning…we almost broke our teeth on these things 😬 I’ve never attempted to eat such a stale bagel before. Wasted $20.
I only recommend this place for lunch when all menu options are likely available. Do not expect them to have any soup, baguettes, or breadbowls left after 6 pm. Also expect them to be out of almost every bread option if you want a sandwich.
For a place that specializes in bread they never make enough to make it through a business day. I don’t know if that is a managerial issue or what but it’s atrocious and they should be embarrassed.

Panera Bread offers a quiet, clean environment with friendly service. The restaurant is known for its delicious food and helpful associates, making it a great spot for lunch breaks. While some find the portions small for the price, the overall experience is positive, with many enjoying their meals. The southwest chicken melt has been noted to have a lot of bread and could use more filling. Ordering is made easy with technology, as customers can use the app or kiosks if the line is long. It’s a nice place to relax or work, with plenty of outlets available. However, customers have mentioned the need for maintenance, specifically that the parking spot lines are faded and could be repainted to improve the parking situation. Just be mindful of the A/C, as it can be too cold on damp, chilly days.
