About Panera Bread

Panera Bread offers a new menu with some exciting options, but the experience can be inconsistent. Some customers have reported receiving incorrect orders, with mistakes made in food preparation. The food itself is just okay, with some dishes not meeting expectations, though anything tried food wise is always great. However, the service can be friendly and efficient, with staff members polite and willing to correct mistakes. Overall, the quality of food and service can vary, making it a mixed bag for visitors. Customers appreciate the quick service and friendly staff, especially when ordering online, although at times the service can be slow due to limited staff. The food, such as the broccoli and cheddar Bread Bowl, can be hit or miss—some find the bread too hard or strange, affecting the overall taste. Specialty drinks taste super bad, like alcohol is in it. Self-select kiosks can lead to disappointment, like an empty hazelnut pot. Some food items have changed, the cookie and bagels have gotten smaller, yet they still charge the regular price. The bread is extremely hard, so it's hard to enjoy a delicious sandwich if the bread is so dry and crunchy. Despite these issues, many find it a convenient lunch spot, especially when using the app to order ahead. The staff’s caring attitude and quick service during busy times help improve the experience, even if the food quality can sometimes be unpredictable.
