Panera Bread Reviews
The manager, John Lynch is very personable. On the weekends we make visits to Panera and he is very gracious and happy to see us. The facility is always clean and welcoming. We have been to other Panera locations but nothing compares to the tight ship John Lynch runs and does it in a matter that he is respected by his employees. Panera is fortunate to have him.

Panera Bread is a convenient dining option when driving on 17/86, located near other stores. It is a large chain known for its quality food, with fresh bread and ingredients that look and taste good. While some customers may be frustrated by changes in the menu, many enjoy the food and appreciate the vegetarian options available, like salads and sandwiches. The manager at the Elmira/Horseheads location is praised for his attentiveness and commitment to customer satisfaction, with excellent customer service highlighted by many guests.
However, some reviews mention that the area where customers wait for their orders can be small and crowded, often near the trash can and soda fountain. Although the atmosphere is generally okay, it can be messy at times due to the business flow. Customers enjoy ordering through the app for pick-up, but there can be a wait for certain meals like the Croque Monsieur croissant toast. Overall, Panera Bread remains a popular choice for a quick meal, especially for those who start their day with fresh coffee and pastries.
