Panera Bread Reviews
Went to Panera for the first time ever last night (11/1/23) and while the food had good flavor, the rest of the experience was not pleasant.

My daughter had a hard time finding the restroom and multiple people had to ask where they should pick up their food as the pick up counter looks like its in the back of the place for staff only. Nothing has any signs saying where you should go. There was a guy standing...read full review

Panera Bread offers a variety of options, from sandwiches to soups and coffee. Some customers found the portions to be small, like a tuna salad with a soggy tomato and a bowl of soup that was less than half full. Others enjoyed favorites like the chicken and wild rice soup in a cozy atmosphere by the fireplace. However, there were concerns about service, such as ordering through a kiosk and receiving lukewarm coffee that had to be reheated. Customers suggest better communication about available items, especially later in the day. The restaurant is quite large and features a modern setup where customers order electronically, with friendly staff assisting when needed. The dining area is clean and offers plenty of seating, including tables that are often available without crowding. Food quality is generally good, with tasty sandwiches, salads, and drinks like strawberry basil lemonade. The Fuji Apple Salad is especially popular, being healthy with only 560 calories. Some customers mentioned that the kitchen and bathroom areas could be cleaner, and the salads could have fewer stems and more leaves. The staff's effort in maintaining cleanliness varies depending on who is working, but overall, the food is fresh and enjoyable.
