This was the fastest in-person dining experience we ever experienced at a Panera and it was at noon. There was even someone who helped us get our food from the counter to the table.

We just ordered breakfast, there’s mold on the bread. I’m not sure how they missed that!
The morning staff is kind, courteous, and on the ball. Katie up front is always friendly.

I’m really disappointed with my experience at Panera Bread. They accepted my order without any issues, but when it was time to pick it up, I was told they didn’t have enough of the items to complete it. This was frustrating because I expected the order to be ready once it was confirmed. Better communication and inventory management would have made this a much better experience.

Never greated. Went to a computer to order our food. Would be nice to order sitting down at the table. $35 for two soup and salad and a hot tea. Advertise says bowl of soup. It’s a cup of soup. Have to get up to go get your own food. Then they want a tip. Why do I do all the work and tip you? Dirty fork on my plate. Don’t see how I can post pictures of our food and dirty forks.

Hair in food every time I come now. Soup tastes watered down sometimes, feels like portions aren’t right as well. Most people that work at this Panera are nice but I’m disappointed a lot with the lack of care when making the food. Please wear hair nets and keep good hygiene:(

At 3pm on 12/10/25 I stopped by this Panera for a late lunch with my boyfriend. At that time there was a team member cleaning the dining room named Izzy. She made a point to greet me with a smile and give me a compliment, which I returned. The whole time I was eating, she was working hard, keeping the dining area clean (which admittedly I’ve noticed Panera as a company is not the greatest at staying on top of, but I work in food so I understand). I really appreciate the obvious care with which she did her job. It can be hard and soul-sucking to work in quick service food, especially when dealing with customers , so her extra kindness on top of doing her job stood out to me. She even smiled and waved goodbye when we left. I wanted to pass this onto a manager but I didn’t see any, so I figured this public forum would be even better so that everyone at the store/corporate can know she’s awesome.

My husband picked up a Cobb salad for me. It cost a little over $14 & was half full. I ate a couple of bites & within 45 mins was sick. So now we pay more, get less & the quality is horrible. Panera used to be a reliable place to enjoy a meal, not now.

Tasty food, came out fairly quickly. Not the most filling.

I’m a regular morning coffee customer and always enjoy stopping by for a fresh cup. However, this is the second time I’ve found the light roast empty and had to wait. This morning, while ordering my meal, I noticed the staff seemed more focused on personal conversations and nails than checking the coffee bar to ensure fresh coffee was available. I ended up waiting about 10 minutes for a refill, which was a bit disappointing. I hope this feedback helps improve consistency for customers who look forward to their morning coffee.

I have always enjoyed Panera foods. They have comforting fall foods, delicious summer salads. Seating always available and service is super.

I got a cinnamon roll. I figured it would have been warmed up.
Also, bring back the clamp chowder!
