About Panera Bread

Panera Bread offers a welcoming environment with friendly staff and good food. Customers appreciate the kindness of employees like Benjamin, who went out of his way to treat guests to bread and soup during a storm and worked hard to restore the lights. The staff is generally polite and helpful, with some employees, such as Dan, making a positive impression by providing extra assistance, like showing the direction of Kibla for prayer. Visitors often mention the helpfulness of the crew and the welcoming atmosphere. The food items include tasty options like the spinach bacon puff pastry, which is cooked to fluffy, crispy perfection, and the pecan bear claw, described as sweet and savory. The cream brulee latte is also enjoyed and considered on par. Some customers note minor issues, such as bagels being loosely packed in paper bags or appearing misshapen and denser than before, though the taste remains acceptable. Overall, Panera Bread is seen as a place where both good food and friendly service come together, making it a comfortable spot for a meal or a quick visit.

Worst sandwich I have ever ordered. Ordered a simple grilled cheese. What I received was apparently two slices of cheese that had been either microwaved or somehow grilled alone then placed on two pieces of white soft bread. Who doesn’t know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich?! How is it possible? Somebody works as a cook and does not know that they grill the whole sandwich not just the cheese.? I tried to put it in a pan and grilled the bread when I got home but...read full review

Ruined their menu to cost save. Felt like I was eating scraps. Who wants to pay to eat the kind of meal you have to eat when you have to make due at home cause need to get groceries? Used to enjoy eating there and that’s what they’re still making money from - their menu before they kept whittling it down to basically kitchen scraps. Not paying anymore for the kind of meal you throw together when you run out of stuff and make just cause you need to eat something.

Very slow service and food was the worst
Staff very rude. Also kiosks we’re not working saying they were out of bake goods. Then when I ask for them to add they got mad that they had to ring it up them selves. Very rude. Oh yeah, then asking for a tip😳
