Wow! What a cozy place! I stumbled upon this restaurant right of the highway and was so pleased with my experience. Fireplace creates a nice ambiance, the music was at appropriate moderate volume, and I was offered assistance by Kristen and Kevin right away. I got new strawberry poppyseed salad and my favorite chicken avocado chipotle sandwich. Everything was delicious and fresh ?. It was not crowded (maybe because it was between lunch and dinner), overall very relaxing and pleasant vibe. I will definitely be back.
Went for after dinner tea/coffee and dessert. Dessert was decently fresh still and coffee/hot water needed to be refilled but when it was, it was hot and tasty.

Disappointed that they took away the teriyaki bowl. That was so delicious, I'm so upset ?

By far my favorite panera location. Usually very quiet, workers are very friendly, food is prepared very quickly and is the best I've tasted at a panera. My favorite place to study would highly recommend over other locations in the area!

5 star for service and special shoutout to Mayette who was preparing my order. Made the morning extra special with her happy energy on this gloomy rainy day. She not only remembers the regular customer by their name but also knows exactly what they need and that is rare to find in a big chain like Panera.

I've been working from Panera frequently for the last few weeks while my home is under construction. It's much more spacious and comfy than Starbucks and it's nice to be able to get breakfast and lunch in the same place. The WiFi is great here. No issues there. Ample parking minus the construction nearby. They closed the drive thru here which is annoying. The food is, well, it's Panera. It's basically the same everywhere. It's very expensive for what it is and the menu is frequently changing. The coffees are very expensive at $3 for a regular coffee. I dislike their coffee compared to Starbucks for regular coffees but the light roast is tolerable. They keep pushing their unlimited drinks program on you (which is an okay deal if you frequently come here and like their drinks but there's lots of restrictions). The staff is nice if you're polite back to them. They're very rowdy though. This morning I got serenaded by their weird playlist and an employee in the back singing Christmas songs at the top of her lungs. Other times I've heard them yelling at each other. However, it's not the best for a working environment. The music choices really range from indie to coffee shop to downright wrong for a coffee shop (it might sound silly to criticize music choices but it affects your environment). Something to note (not factored into the review since it's not their fault) is that there's a lot of construction going on in the lots next door so there's vehicles, work, cones and roads sometimes blocked.

I normally go to the he Panera on RT 1 in North Brunswick by the Ulta .. my friend invited me to lunch I remembered why I don't come to this Panera ... I the cashier was arrogant and didn't make us feel welcomed.. she was borderline rude.Not the 1st time but will be my last time

My visit to Panera Bread was marred by disappointing service. I ordered four soups, expecting a warm and pleasant meal. However, my disappointment started when one of the soups arrived in a plastic container. When I asked for separate bowls, I was given small plastic containers, which didn’t quite meet my expectations. I hope they improve their service and presentation in the future.
