Real bad service, this place gets really busy sometimes and the counter usually have 1 person working, they should one person ONLY dedicated to Online Orders. After your online order gets ready you still need to stand in line to pick your online order, what’s the point of me ordering online when still have to wait in line. Please Dedicate one worker who is there to hand you completed mobile order.

I usually come here after work to get something to eat .On this day , August 7, 2025 around 7 p.m. I witnessed a terrifying event at Panera Bread in Green Acres Mall. I sat in a single both and there were a group of teenagers sitting in the double both behind me. I was eating my food and all of a sudden a fight broke out. There was two young women fighting like cat and dog. They knocked my food and plate out of my hands and almost damage the store property . Thankfully, there were two NYPD detectives who entered the store to pick up an order. They jumped in to stop the fight . I’m disturbed by this! I mean , you come in to grab a bit and have to witness this. The manager didn’t get involved , he called security but they didn’t do anything , they just stood there not helping the police officers . It was a female officer at that ! She did her best to separate the two young women from fighting.
This Panera Bread always allowing random people to walk through the store just to use the bathroom. It isn’t safe to dine in anymore!!!
I think the best thing to do is lock-in and save your money. At this time ,in this season, I do not recommend for those to visit this Panera Bread. It is waaaay too risky. You want to be safe and have an enjoyable time eating out , not to come here and see fighting taking place. Go to a different Panera Bread. Look elsewhere or place an order through pick -up; Grab and Go. It’s too much drama here!!!!!

I don’t usually eat at Panera, but my son likes it, so we stopped by. Unfortunately, the experience left me frustrated. The food is overpriced for the portion size you pay a lot and still don’t feel satisfied. On top of that, when ordering through the self-service kiosk, you can’t complete your order without leaving a tip. Why am I being required to tip when I’m doing all the work myself placing the order, picking up the food, finding a seat, and even clearing my own table? Who exactly is the tip for? Honestly, it feels like Panera should be tipping me instead. Either lower the prices or rethink this tipping approach because right now, it just doesn’t make sense.

Today, after stopping for gas at BJ’s, I decided to grab a quick lunch at Panera Bread and I’m glad I did. It was hot outside, so I popped in mainly to get something refreshing to drink. I went with their passionfruit drink, which hit the spot cold, flavorful, and just what I needed.

While I was there, I also ordered a sandwich with a side of kettle-cooked chips and a pickle. The food was fresh and tasty, and the portion was just right for lunch. The restaurant itself was spotless, the A/C was nice and cool, and the background music made for a relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Definitely a solid lunch stop thankful for the good food and good vibes!
