Panera Bread

Pros: …
Cons: …

I first heard about what Panera was like from a coworker. I had sort of maybe seen it before, but I had never really considered it. One day, I decided to try it out. They have all sorts of sandwiches, pastries, breads, bagels and other bread-related ...

Pros: Good food, fair prices, and a new place to eat lunch every day!
Cons: If you are in a rush this may not be the best place to eat.

This is simply an amazing restaurant. I tried it because I was sick and needed soup, I stayed because that soup turned out to be the greatest soup I have eaten since I was a kid at grandma's house! Turns out this place serves AMAZING sandwiches on ...

Pros: Yummy cinnamon scones. Nice, plastic decor and tiled floors.
Cons: Not the healthiest or the tastiest food in the world, but maybe within ten minutes.

Sadly Panera, like most bakeries, puts most of it's effort into producing a pretty product and creating the illusion that they know and care about you like a neighborhood bistro owner might. It's a marketing scheme that's found an audience eager for a ...

Pros: The selection of food, YOU PICK TWO DEAL, bakery items, salads.
Cons: The cashier will screw your order no matter what, prices are a bit steep.

What can I say, Panera Bread speaks for itself. It is becoming one of America's most-successful cafe/bakery franchises as a Top Fortune 500 company. I worked for the Panera Bread located on Tiedeman Road in Brooklyn, Ohio (Suburban Cleveland). I had ...

Pros: Quick efficient service
Cons: Plain, uninteresting food, will make you think where else you may have chosen

I made my first visit to a Panera Bread Store today and was a bit disappointed. We must be fortunate to have some nice bread store/bakeries here, because I don't see this place putting them out of business anytime soon. My first impression upon ...

Pros: The service,product and customer service.
Cons: Not in every town.

I visited the Panera Bread in Palmdale California and when I walked in I was surprised to see a store that looks almost exactly like Starbucks. I thought I went into the wrong store. But when I lined up to order I could see they meant business. I ordered ...

Pros: Not Expensive, Good Selection
Cons: No table service

Panera Bread is a staple as a lunch destination with my coworkers. We either go there, or pick up to eat in our office. Panera Bread was established in 1981, and is quickly spreading across the nation. As of this review, there are 1168 bakery-cafe's in ...

Pros: - May be seen as being 'high status' to eat there
Cons: - Overpriced - May seem healthy, but definitely not

I read an opinion on here saying that Panera Bread is low in fat. That's funny! Actually, their food is pretty high in fat. For example, a sandwich that most people see as 'light' is the Sierra Turkey sandwich. Well, it provides 55 grams of total fat, ...

Pros: A variety fo great items to choose from
Cons: Not everything is as good as it looks

Panera Bread provides exactly what their name advertises GREAT BREAD. It is a mix between a coffeehouse and a sandwich shop. The store is clean, bright and comfortable. It is a place where you can talk comfortably with a friend without feeling rushed or...

Pros: Panera is inviting, whether it be the tasty food or the free internet access!
Cons: Panera is often extremely crowded because of all of these benefits.

Panera bread is a classic. The food is cheap and everyone loves the tastes (with some healthful benefits, depending on what you order)! I myself eat there every weekend and engadge in a lovely conversation with the colorful people who work there. ...

Pros: Healthy, Variety, Baked Fresh Daily
Cons: Price

I have always enjoyed eating at Panera Bread, whether it be the Tuscan Chicken, Sierra Turkey, or any of their delicious hot panini sandwiches. Recently I started a new job at Panera, and with my jobs in the past, assumed I would not enjoy eating there...

Pros: Excellent bread, some above-average salads, good soup.
Cons: service can be so-so, long lines, wish they used real roast turkey.

Panera is an excellent lunchtime option - a good alternative to fast food or something more expensive like Ruby Tuesday's or TGI Fridays.

Their breads are very good, but oftentimes the breads offered with some of the specialty sandwiches are...

Pros: Their food is wonderful enough, but they top it with a donation program that's incredible!
Cons: None that I can tell.

I was seriously jonesing for an orange scone one night and thought I had enough time to get to Panera Bread before it closed, then I'd pop over to the grocery on the way back. I parked the car, walked toward the entrance trying to decide if I needed an ...

Pros: Great food, nice atmosphere!
Cons: Somewhat yuppie!

Mention Panera Bread around my friends and they would think the same thing - yuppie place. However I work in a yuppie area, therefore I frequently have lunch at Panera. My friends have never even been in a Panera because of the yuppie image. However,...

Pros: Menu has lots of variety, delicious desserts, affordable
Cons: More salad in the salad, larger locations, customer service training

Food/Drink The food selection at Panera should be able to please any eater; meaty, vegetarian, picky, dieter, etc. There are salads with field greens and walnuts, sandwiches with deli meat on asiago cheese bread, cinnamon crunch bagels with ...
