Panera Bread in Cincinnati

“New store with drive thru. Only issue is the wait in drive thru line when order placed thru the app. Concern is how long is the food sitting while I'm waiting for others to place order or pick up. Hopefully this becomes a moot point as the store is new and might be working out the “

“This is my go to spot for a good quality meal when I'm not able to cook. I've been here enough of the last couple year's, the employees are like family. The food is always good, and everyone is there to make sure you get what you need. There's a lot of good people working here and it shows! Thanks guy's, you know I'll be back.“

Vegetarian options: Hot bowl has vegetarian option“

“This is top-shelf review that I almost don't want to leave, in fear that it might become crowded. But, it is not right for me to keep this gem to myself. This Panera is my favorite of all Panera's I have visit. And, as a perennial Sip Club member, I have visited a lot! It is clean and pleasant inside and has all the greenery outside. See you there next week!“

“I haven't been in a Panera in a while because im vegan now. But I found something:). Got the veggie sandwich ( added Avocado amd subtracted feta ). It was tasty. Ingredients always quality. Used their self service kiosks which i haven't before. Smooth process. Clean and comfortable seating area. Outside seating available as well.“

“Mikayla is the reason I have not given up on this Panera.

I’ve had some rocky experiences here in the past — drive-thru delays, confusion with orders, and moments that made me want to give up on this location. But even during one of those stressful visits, Mikayla stood out. She came to me with a smile and said, “I can try to help you.” That small gesture completely shifted the experience and reminded me that kindness matters.

Since then, the last two times I’ve gone through the drive-thru, Mikayla has been there — and it’s been night and day. She greets me with a genuine smile, speaks politely and warmly, and always wishes me a good day. It’s not just customer service; it’s people skills, empathy, and professionalism all rolled into one.

Today I picked up my Garden Avocado & Egg White Sandwich with coffee, and once again, she made the experience smooth and uplifting. In a world where good service is rare, Mikayla is exceptional. She deserves recognition for consistently going above and beyond — Panera is fortunate to have her.“

“FIRST TIME TRYING BACON TURKEY BRAVO
HAD BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP TWICE IN THE PAST
Someone else got this meal for me.

QUALITY of everything was great!!
SOUP & FRENCH BREAD was excellent!!
TURKEY BACON BRAVO had WAAAAAYY TOO MUCH Signature sauce! One half slice of bread was completely SOAKED! Even after trying to wipe it off, signature sauce flavor still overpowered every other flavor, it's all I could taste! In my opinion, would have been better with just a little MAYO. Sometimes, LESS is MORE.
Given the overall quality, I look forward to trying other options.
BUT SOUP WAS EXCELLENT!!“

“The team was so accommodating to me and my 14 month old when we came in to eat. Sometimes it’s hard going to eat solo with a toddler but they made the experience great for us and were very helpful even though they didn’t have to. It was clean and the food was great!“
