Panera Bread

Very good breakfast. Sandwiches are very fresh and tasty. Good bagel quality.

I have always been a big panera fan until recently. It’s over priced and lately the quality has been sub par.

THIS panera is Amazing! :-) We went to this place at about 8:30 pm, and we ordered dinner to eat there. I ordered a turkey sandwich, and it was only half so the lady gave me a Free extra half of the sandwich and bag of chips :-) My baby sister is super shy, and one of the guys thought she was funny and cute, so he gave me and her free cookies and tried to get her to like them, but she looked away from them. Before we left, I think the manager, came and gave me a bubble set and my sister a light up squishy toy with what I call tentacles!!! :-) :-) :-) Me and my parents were absolutely astonished! The food was the best I’ve tasted from a Panera, and the people were extremely nice to us. They even gave my mom a choice of whatever she wanted from the bakery. FOR FREE!!! :-) I recommend this place to everyone!!! :-) :-)

Drove 4 mins out of my way for a coffee here. It’s just such a feel good place!

Nice, nice, nice and, yes — nice. The food is quite decent (for a really fast chain restaurant — it is superb). The staff is friendly — really friendly, not plasticky. Clean — certainly. Teas and coffees — quite good (no, I have not made my way through the entire list yet, but I’m getting there). Priced — reasonable, very reasonable. I think I missed one of the «nices» :)
I do wish people in US restaurants didn’t speak at the top of their voices — but I guess you can’t have everything.

Ordinarily I like Panera very much. However two days ago I purchased a loaf of ciabatta from the store in Swampscott. It was basically a bland white bread with a soft crust. My wife had cooked an Italian dinner that night of cutlet parmigiana. It was great. The only thing that was lacking was the bread. I advise the bakers of Panera to visit any Italian bakery in the area and ask for their recipe for true ciabatta bread.

Its one of the best Panera stores. It is clean and has good fresh food… It s a bit busy during the weekend, however you still enjoying your time at it

Love this Panera Bread! It is located conveniently right next to my work, so I come here at least 3 times a week. It can get really crowded here around lunch time, however, the staff never seem to get behind and are always getting orders out in a timely fashion.
Staff– they are always very welcoming and greet me with a smile every time I come in.
Anytime i ask them to provide something extra to accommodate my needs, they do it quickly and without any problems.
Food– Lately i have been addicted to the Flat Bread sandwiches. Southwestern is my favorite along with the steak and blue cheese salad. The pastries are always fresh and i have to fight the urge to get one every time i come in.
The free coffee and drink re-​fills are the cherry on top. I will continue coming in here on a daily basis and recommend that you give them a try as well.

I love going to panera. I go almost every weekend for breakfast and dinner. Recently you guys hired a new employee that I am familiar with. She is very rude to customers and isnt aproachable. I really do not like it when she serves me my food because I feel like she did something to it. This girl has curly dark hair and her name starts with an «I». Please take this into consideration because I would love to keep coming here. Thankyou for your time.

You can never go wrong here. Service is always great. Their soups and salads are the best. I usually have coffee here couple times a week with toast or a Danish. Never had a bad meal here. Try the chicken Cobb salad it’s the best!

Receipt clearly said I wanted a piece of bread with my sandwich, not chips. Just because it’s takeout doesn’t mean throw what you want in the bag. Piss poor service when ordering too. It’s called listening skills. You’re staff fails at it. Figure it out.

Definitly love going here! Great staff and a nice clean atmosphere. Their smoothies are great and sandwiches are delicious, especially the frontega chicken… Wow. Worth every penny!

It’s not awful except it seems that the chicken almost seems pinkish to me. The bread is really good but that’s it.

Excellent sandwiches, very good bread. If there is such a thing I would call this high end fast food. Perfect for a quick lunch but with quality baked goods and delicious sandwiches. The ambiance is not such that you would want to linger over your meal but the quality of the food is comparable to many more prestigious establishments. On a side note we have used Panera to cater numerous visits to my place of business and the experience has always been very positive.

It’s not as if I haven’t been to a Panera before. I have. Quite a few times. And since I was visiting the lovely city of Swampscott, I figured I’d get a Chai Latte and their cherry pastry yumminess. And once again, totally not disappointed.
First of all — I have no idea why anyone who goes to any Panera’s doesn’t have an awesome Panera Card. I got me my cherry yumminess for free this time! LOVELY.
The place was clean, the bathrooms too. The people serving were friendly and they have free wifi — lots of nooks and crannies to slink your way into to tie into the free wifi and just chill over a cup of java, chai or whatever.

I love having a Panera right in Vinnin square. Swampscott is not exactly overwhelmed with convenient breakfast and lunch places. My daughter loves the mac and cheese here and I usually get a turkey sandwich or Greek salad. The only thing I don’t like about this location is that it is always super busy, which means it is competitive finding a table a lot of the time and it is always loud in there. I wish they could find a bigger space in Vinnin square and then it would be perfect!
We just discovered the Panera in Beverly and it is awesome, but a little out of the way. If you’re ever off Exit 20 on Route 128 though, that Panera is very nice and has a much mellower feel to it. It’s bigger and doesn’t get as much traffic.

Great Panera for catering! I work with a university in the area, and Panera always does a great job. Not only is the order correct (you’d be surprised how rare this is), but it’s also ready on time and includes all utensils.
Highly recommended!

I always forget that Panera is so close to my house. While I was out doing errands the other day we stopped in for some lunch. I ordered their half and half special, getting a half ham and swiss sandwich on rye and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. Both we’re good, the soup always seems like a great idea but after a couple bites it becomes heavy and filling and I never end up finishing it, especially with the yummy dipping bread they serve on the side. I’ve tried their turkey bacon cheese panini and their chipolte chicken panini, both good. Basically, this is a great option for lunch and a nice change from a sub shop or fast food.

Wonderful casual place. All their soups are Excellent. Great place for Lunch. Priced right. Staff friendly.

In the late afternoon on a recent Sunday, I found myself meeting up with a friend who was in Swampscott visiting his parents for the holiday. We thought we would have a couple of different options for places to cozy up with coffee type beverages and catch up on several months of conversation. A quick walk down Humphrey Street proved us wrong. Coffee shops, closed. Diners closed. It was a holiday weekend sure, but still…
So; Panera it was, by default. As with any chain restaurant; once you’ve been to one you kind of know what to expect out of others. There are a limited number of things that can set one apart. The staff was friendly and fast. Everything was clean. I liked the variety of different seating options available in this location — tables, booths, benches and chairs set up in conversation groupings.
His white peppermint hot chocolate was super tasty. My chai latte had a curiously strong minty flavor. Lesson learned. I have a strong suspicion that his scone trumped my cinnamon roll, making him the afternoon’s clear winner, but he didn’t turn his back for long enough for me to sneak a bite the same way I had sipped his hot chocolate when he was checking a text message. It wasn’t too busy, and we were able to find a perfect quiet corner to sit comfortably and talk for several hours. Which was, after all the point.
