Panera Bread

Panera Bread can usually be counted on for fresh ingredients and great tasting sandwiches and soup. It’s usually a little more expensive than other sandwich shops but you normally know the food and experience is also a step above the others.
We didn’t feel that way with our recent visit. To begin with we had to ask the girl taking our order several times to repeat herself. It was simple but we couldn’t understand her. Articulating clearly was not one of her skills.
My husband ordered a bowl of the mac’n cheese. He thought it was delicious. I ordered a cup of the clam chowder and a tuna salad sandwich. The clam chowder was thin, clams were sparse and had very little taste. It wasn’t very good and we wondered if it had been watered down to go farther. Thus, I ate less than half. The first half of the sandwich I ate seemed to have very little tuna. However, I discovered most of it had been piled on the other half. The sandwich was good but the tuna salad should have been a little more evenly distributed on the bread.
The ingredients were all fresh like we expect at Panera. I was mostly disappointed in the clam chowder. I also felt the counter girl was a little condescending when we couldn’t understand what she was saying and asked her to repeat herself. It’s an A-​OK place but don’t think we’d have a reason to return.

Very typical Panera. Great sandwiches and soups. Baked goods are always fresh. Autumn squash soup is fantastic, not too sweet. Bread, chips or apple came with it. I chose the bread to dip in the soup. Grilled cheese was equally good, fresh bread. Restaurant could be a bit cleaner with newer décor, but a great location. You can order on ur phone at the table and have it delivered to ur table or order on the screens up front. Not the cheapest sandwich place, but good. Very consistent. Muffin top was excellent too, which is only 99 cents with an entrée.

This is the perfect location for a quick lunch, while on the go or on your lunch break. Located in a busy shopping plaza, during season parking can be a nightmare.
The service is always prompt, courteous and friendly.

Usually we enjoy this Panera but today I tried the Rapid pick up and they gave me a hole filled nasty apple. Really turned me off of asking for that again. They should pay as much attention to their take outs as they do their dine ins.
Also, the bag didn’t include any utensils or napkins. Pretty disappointed today.

Excellent salads fast and easy. This is one of my regular go-​to places. After a long day at work or a day at the beach a fresh salad hits the spot.

I love the new kiosks u can order yourself and it makes things super fast, also there is an expediter person to keep things moving. I have always loved Panera bread but it was a good 10 – 15 min to «grab» lunch. I think I was in and out in under 5 min this time!

This is a great Panera except the tables are never ever clean. Service & food are always exceptional but when you sit down you feel like you are eating in someone else’s mess… and I’m not a germ-a-phone…no excuse for constant dirty tables!

Surprisingly good coffee! I love their light roast. They will even sell you bags to roast at home.

Stay away from the smoothies, taste fake.
Go across the strip mall to Tropical Café instead.
Salads good but ask exactly what will be in it. They like to Sprinkle lots of stuff like fried onions too small to remove later.
Soups have variety but barely ever gluten free.
Not much for gluten free vegetarians
Salad but they are boring
Always bring a jacket, too cold.

Very friendly staff. They went out of their way to be helpful. My favorite meal is the broccoli cheddar bread bowl. Great, affordable lunch option!

Great place to stop in the morning on my way to work for a quick breakfast. Love the asiago cheese bagel with chive and onion cream cheese! For lunch I always get the tomato and mozzarella panini with either broccoli cheese soup or the Greek salad. It can get crowded at noon, but they move pretty fast through the line. No complaints here!

Panera is usually dependable and this one rates as one of the better Panera’s. While the stores near home have all gone to the «pick up your own food and then seat yourself» method, this one still brings your food to you at the table.
I do not like everything at Panera’s but there are usually several items I enjoy for lunch and this place prepared the sandwich very well.

Paneras is always a safe bet for me because I really like bread, cheese, soups and salads. It’s in a good location and is kept clean. I sat outside last time I was there my only complaint sitting anywhere outside in southwest florida is always the mosquitos I wore long sleeves and jeans and flip flops and they manage to attack my feet.

Usually go there in the morning if we just did not get a chance to eat at home. Everything was good this morning, but the only thing is make sure if you ask for a bagel toasted tell them to turn the heat up. Other than that good as usual.

I was at Panera recently with my sisters, one in particular who LOVES their lemonade smoothies. When my sister expressed her dismay that there was only one day left in the season to get this smoothie, the clerk said that she would try to make her one whenever she came to Panera in the future. Now, that’s personal service! I suggest trying the caprese panini-it’s great!

Excellent to quick start your morning here with coffee and fresh pastry. Panera’s roots are the savvy business guys who sold off Au Bön Pain in order to leave the fast paced urban market behind and open in the more sedate burbs. Happily, Panera keeps to its Baked Fresh Daily régime. Sadly, it’s just another chain coffee shop inside, with booths, tables, and a few cushy chairs for those packing a laptop. I would like them to offer more newspaper stands. The location is good — except in winter season when the outdoor seating is shaded until afternoon.
