All lettuce/no toppings. Definitely not worth the money. So disappointing. Barrie location.
I love the food at Panera Bread but I am just at the Barrie, ON location and my food came to $25. I only have $100 bill on me and they will not accept them. It's ridiculous that I cannot pay cash for an amount that's quite large. I could see if it was a smaller amount. Had I not been really looking forward to the food I would have walked out.

Panera Bread offers a refreshing change from typical fast food options. The restaurant serves tasty sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, and customers often praise the delicious salads, soups, and baked items like the chocolate chip salted caramel cookies. The atmosphere is generally clean and comfortable, with good service. Many customers appreciate the freshly made sandwiches on fresh baked bread and the well-packaged catering that includes salads and mac and cheese, which are often described as mouth watering. The staff is friendly and hardworking, with some customers noting positive interactions with team members. However, the seating area can be limited, and some locations may appear outdated, resembling a cafeteria. While the food is well-received, some menu items like chicken noodle soup have been described as disappointing, and breakfast sandwiches have received mixed reviews, with one customer noting the egg texture as wet. Customers also enjoy the passion papaya’s green iced tea, and many find Panera Bread to be a good place for a quick, tasty meal or catering, despite some feeling it is a bit expensive for what it offers.
