“Worst location. I have never been in Panera Bread this dirty before. I visit this chain few times a week all over norther VA, this place was bad…every table was dirty and greasy, filthy bathroom..it was horrible. I felt like getting up and leaving right away. I told one of the employees that tables need to be wiped and he acknowledged the issue. Ten minutes later I saw one of employees running around spraying tables barely wiping them dry. I had to get up and finish the job myself. Panera Bread, this is not up to your standards! Very disappointing. Will avoid this location at all cost.

UPDATE: Gave this location another try and was pleasantly surprised with an improved service and cleanliness of the place so I am updating my review rating. Please keep it up for your customers.“

“I brought my entire family here for Thanksgiving, and I'd like to give a big shoutout to the cashier up front that day, Jair. Despite our large order for my entire family of seven persons. He was extremely friendly and patient with us. He provided us numerous ideas for my aunt, who is gluten-free and was unsure what to order. He went above and beyond his obligations as a Cashier, informing me that I had awards on my app that I was unaware of. If Jair is reading this, thank you for all of your hard work young lad.........“

“Yummy food & great service!“

“My wife insisted we order our wedding cake from here after she got her first wedding cake from here a decade earlier. Everyone at the wedding raved about the cake. Despite being a big cake lover, my wife and I were too busy to have more than a bite of the cake at the wedding. I mentioned it to the owner afterwards while mentioning how the guests loved the cake and she offered to make us cupcakes in the same flavor afterwards. It was so kind and genuinely human.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“This is THE BEST pastries I’ve ever had! So fresh, delicious, creative, flavorful, and appealing to the eye!!!!!“

“Came here twice. They have American style food and Korean style food. Their food were good both time. Coffee was good as well. The space is clean and spacious and bright. Best cafe I have been to so far.

Kid-friendliness: Got high chairs“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“After reading positive reviews about this Hong Kong Tea House, I decided to try it for lunch.

The interior of this cozy cafe was clean and well-maintained, though seating options were somewhat limited. As a self-service establishment, customers can conveniently place their orders at kiosks, and I appreciated the owner’s thoughtful gesture of bringing the food to my table.

The Gyudon Japanese Beef Bowl was enjoyable, though I found it relatively standard and felt that the portion size was small for the price. The Hong Kong Coffee Milk Tea was satisfactory, and I was pleased to discover that I could adjust the sugar level to suit my taste preferences.

The establishment offers a variety of food options, including Jian Bing Guo Zi and Popcorn Chicken. I look forward to returning to sample these dishes.“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“Love the service and friendly stuff“

“Best Matcha ice cream and other soft serve…. Yummy 🤤“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“This place is awesome! So glad we discovered it. We had some business to do nearby, so for two days straight we came here for lunch. My family loved it. There is a family that is fast, friendly, professional, kind, and overall great running this place. Since I live in Herndon, I’ll be back to this restaurant more. Thank you sincerely for the great food and service. We recommend the daily specials, the steak and cheese, the fries, onion rings, salmon poke, and K-BBQ.“

“10/10! Their burritos are nicely seasoned, but not overpowering nor greasy at all- super juicy but zero leakage through the tortilla (I got the Mexican burrito)! Prices were lower than expected for a cafe! I was also looking for some low sodium options for a friend with health conditions and the staff was very kind and gave great recommendations that my friend thought were perfect :). Definitely will be returning here often!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito

Dietary restrictions: Veggie burrito - low sodium“

“We had breakfast here twice and it was wonderful both times. The Belgian waffle is truly the best I’ve had and the various Benedicts were great too. Smashes potatoes were also exceptional. Restaurant has lovely views of the water as well and outdoor dining space.“

“We ordered mango and red bean bingsoo and they were really delicious. Mango had sweetness with a hint of tang from mango. The shavings were smooth and so creamy. Good food but lack of service. There was no interaction between customers and workers. We will be back for bingsoo.“

“This is the Panera Bread location I always visit. The staff are always very polite. There is one particular male employee with curly hair who always ties his
hair back; he especially greets me with a smile every time I visit. I don’t know his name.I highly recommend this location for its excellent service and friendly atmosphere.“

“Love this little cafe! Service is wonderful, food is wonderful, food is fast!“

“My family and I were in town from Leesburg. Wish this food was over there!! We got the teriyaki specials-chicken was super tender and fresh. Dishes had decent amount if veggis which unfortunately is hard to find and the sauce and flavors were just perfect. Price seems average but quality is wonderful. Super fast service too and we saw them greeting the regulars who must work in the building. Friendly vibes for eating in or take out. Def will have to try their breakfast as reviews recommend french toast.“

“Lovely staff, professional management, delicious food, friendly atmosphere! We always enjoy our visits to First Watch so much!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant known for its incredible drunken noodles, and I must say, they did not disappoint. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with a delightful mix of flavors that included just the right amount of spice and sweetness. The dish was bursting with fresh vegetables and tender pieces of beef that made every bite a mouthwatering experience. But it wasn't just the food that made my visit memorable; the drinks were equally impressive. The menu offered a wide variety of creative and refreshing beverages, each with its own unique twist.“

“4/5!Great spot for breakfast and lunch! After one of my favorite deli's closed down, I had to look for a new one. Found out about Checkers Deli and Cafe through Yelp and I'm glad I did!The Food: For lunch, I went with a classic cheesesteak and fries. The cheesesteak was delicious! The meat was quality and the cheese paired with it was delicious. The portions are great as well, it won't leave you hungry tat's for sure. The Their food options are very well priced out as well.The Service: Staff were very friendly. They had our orders out fairly quickly even with a lunch rush. No complaints.Overall, a 4/5! A great spot if you're looking for a good breakfast or lunch meal. I'll be back again, that's for sure!“

“This Panera Bread location offers exactly what you want in a casual dining spot - quick, efficient service paired with reliable food quality. The spacious interior provides plenty of seating options, making it a comfortable choice whether you're dining in for a quick lunch or settling in to work or study.

The staff keeps the service line moving smoothly, and orders come out promptly. What stands out about this location is the ample seating space - you won't feel cramped or struggle to find a table, even during peak hours.

The food quality meets Panera's usual standards, with fresh bread and consistently prepared menu items. For those interested in good value, they offer Duet combinations that let you pair two smaller portions of different menu items - something to consider trying on future visits.

Pros:
- Fast, efficient service

“Nice placê, wonderful food!“

“After a long, lackluster day of a birthday—I went to Lulu cafe. And it was the best way possible to conclude my birthday last night. The vibe was really chill and energetic at the same time. The staff as well as the customers just made it a wonderful place to celebrate with my friends. The karaoke rooms had great sound quality and everything about it was designed for a good time. I will definitely be back. Everyone was dancing and getting hyped, even if they were just sitting down and drinking. It was like being on an episode of Adventure Time. High energy, humorous and just solid times.“

“I wish you have larger size ice americano The rest is good“

“Have always enjoyed this "neighborhood" feeling Panera, but today the service was especially great. I had put in a pick up order in the morning at this location (mistakenly), but I couldn't make it in to pick it up. I decided to check about 2 hours later when I was free to make it to this location, but the bag of bagels was no longer there. I checked with an associate Leila (Layla?) who went out of her way to refill the order when she couldn't find it. I was prepared to eat the cost of my own mistake but she was kind and helped me out with fantastic customer service so I wanted to give her a shout out!“

“We’ve been ordering here for the past few years. Food has always been fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend this place to others!“

“I love this place. The food has always been excellent. I’m putting in my request to open one in Winchester VA-please!!!!!!!“
