I was really looking forward to eating my order. However, I order the caprese sandwich and it was missing the balsamic glaze and the arugula...I had asked for extra pesto and they put so much my sandwich was not longer enjoyable. Disappointed on my much money I spent and can't even enjoy my food.

The best Panera Bread location on the island. Super nice employees, very attentive, polite, helpful. Food are always good, fresh ingredients. Everything is good about this store: food, service, location, parking, self checkout, all in

Got the balsamic salad with grains salad and wasn't too impressed especially considering the size and quality of the salad. Some of the greens were partially brown, the salad was relatively small, and it was decent overall at best. The seating is nice and spacious but there was no music contributing to a bland atmosphere. There was little selection of sodas and the ginger ale was out. For almost 20 bucks, it was a rip off.

This Panera Bread location has quickly become one of my favorites — even though it’s a solid 45-minute drive from my home, it’s worth every mile. Conveniently located close to the Cheesecake Factory and right next to a cinema, it’s a spot I’ve visited multiple times, and each visit has been just as enjoyable as the last.

The location is perfectly maintained — clean, well-organized, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a meal before catching a movie, or simply sit with your laptop and enjoy a relaxed afternoon. The staff here keeps things moving efficiently without losing the friendly, welcoming vibe that Panera is known for.

One of the best parts for me is being a member of Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club. I love that I can enjoy unlimited coffee, every two hours, all day long — it’s a perk that really makes my visits even better. Whether I’m in the mood for a hot cup of coffee, iced tea, or another favorite beverage, I can always count on a fresh refill during my stay.

The food here is consistently good — whether it’s a warm bowl of soup in a bread bowl, a fresh salad, or one of their sandwiches, I always find something satisfying. Pair that with the convenience of grabbing a drink and then strolling over to the cinema for a movie, and you’ve got the perfect outing.

Overall, this Panera Bread isn’t just another chain location — for me, it’s a mini destination. Good food, great drinks, reliable service, and a prime spot right next to a cinema make it an easy favorite whenever I’m in the area.

Great experience as always. Nice coffee, great atmosphere, WiFi and seating space. Love that they open at 7 am

Wasn't a fan of the croissant sandwich. Didn't feel it was good value for money. I should have struck to my spinach bagel with egg white.

The food was good but the best part was definitely the very friendly staff. I forgot my retainer and they went through the garbage just to find it. 5 stars.

I had to give this location 5 stars. I come here every Saturday. The night crew is so nice and so friendly. The manager Tammy is inviting and warm. The one girl Lauivah is so sweet. Out of all the locations I've been to this one is THE BEST! I look forward to my weekend route that brings me here. See you next time. Your all awesome!

Got the big chocolate cookie at the register and a salad and half a sandwich.
Was really looking fwd to the big chocolate chunks in the cookie but man o man it was a HUGE disappointment. Flavorless and annoyingly hard. I didn't even finish it. Blah ? waste of money top. Hate that. ?

Happened twice with me,
My family and I used to go to panera, but I don’t know why the coffee was really miserable and I left the whole cup.. It happened twice and I left Panera to get another coffee from other place.
