Panera Bread Reviews
Hi Panera,
Stopped by for lunch today and had a terrible experience. Could not find want I wanted ordering digitally, saw it available on the menus board. I went to place my order, and was told that sandwich has not been available for months. I asked the employee helping me if there was anything similar the could make. She processed to check her Apple Watch than answer my question. I walked out.
Waited 30 minutes for a sandwich and flat bread. We only got our order after asking for a refund. The food was absolutely terrible and sloppy. Great reminder of why I stopped
Coming here.

Panera Bread has a well-located and well-designed store with a clean environment that has recently been praised for its high standards, including a health inspection score of 99. The restaurant offers large sandwich portions, but some find them difficult to eat. The drive-thru staff are friendly, and the food is warm and flavorful. Customers note that the chipotle chicken avocado sandwich is a favorite, especially when delivered. However, some reviews mention that the salad portions are small and overpriced, similar to pre-made salads from other stores. The baguette is considered perfect but overpriced. The ordering system could use some refinement, such as adding options like mustard or toast requests. The dressing cups are small and often less than half full, which some see as a way for the store to save money. The chili is also highlighted as especially great. Customers suggest a crispier texture for the brioche bun, and many appreciate the attentive service from the staff, including the manager named Oscar. New visitors have noted that this location is one of the cleanest they have seen, and the staff is described as polite and excellent. However, some customers found the bakery goods, pastries, and bagels to be lacking in quantity and variety, particularly during morning hours. Overall, many enjoy the experience and recommend the restaurant highly, noting exceptional customer service from staff members like John.
