Panera Bread

Pros: Great fresh tasty food without grease
Cons: Always crowded

I've eaten at the Panera Bread in 3 different Places, Jacksonville FL, Orlando FL, and Chattanooga TN. This chain actually has managed to keep the food quality high no matter which store you dine in.

Pros: taste and value

I found Panara Bread last spring when it first opened in my city. I love bread but try not to eat it too often. However, when it is this good, staying away is nearly impossible. Everything is always freshly prepared and looks beautiful. The prices on...

Pros: Great Food

I am not crazy about sandwiches. Generally, I prefer a nice hot meal. I went to Panera for the first time and I now crave the place. I highly recommend this restaurant. I always get the roast beef sandwich. It comes on assiago cheese bread, with a...

Pros: excellent combo meals, delicious sandwiches, good baguettes
Cons: bagels leave much to be desired

Don't be tricked by the name "Panera Bread" - there's a lot more here than you might think.

Imagine a lunch where for about $5, you get your choice of 2 of the following: 1/2 sandwich, small bowl of soup, or 1/2 salad. Drinks are extra. The...

Pros: Great Bread and Pastries, Wonderful-to die for coffee
Cons: none

When I lived in West Chicago, IL, I used to go to Paneria Bread Company everyday for a freshly baked cream cheese danish and my favorite coffe of all time, a Cafe Borgia. This Cafe Borgia is the best coffe I have ever had in my life and it consists of...

Pros: Great coffee, bread and bagels..
Cons: Early close, poorly trained help

The Panera in my town is one of our newest restaurants, having opened about a month ago. I think I've been there three times a week since then. Panera fits well between the two coffee shops we have in town. The first is a very casual up-north lodge...

Pros: Fresh Baked Goods
Cons: NONE

Panera Bread is a wonderful sidewalk cafe which caters to the taste buds. At Panera you can dine on sandwiches, soups, salads which are all of high quality ingredients and fresh crisp veggies. The best part of Panera is the luscious array of baked goods...

When meeting an old friend from high school for lunch, we decided to try the new Panera Bread. It was new to both of us, and we agreed, it was an excellent choice.
The menu had a variety of choices-- salads, soups, sandwiches. Several soups are...

Pros: Good tasting ingredients, Usually good service, clean.
Cons: Your chances of getting a good tasting sandwich or a bland sandwich are 50/50.

I have been to Panera Bread locations from South Florida to North Carolina and I feel the hype of Panera Bread is greater than the actual taste of the food. I don't know if it is by design, but all I taste in their sandwiches is bread, which is about an ...

Pros: Clean environment & good desserts.
Cons: Lack of variety in the menu, refusal to accommodate special diets

My husband is a health nut and raved about how great Panera was. He finally started bringing me there and I could barely find an item to eat being a vegetarian and highly allergic to many food items. Almost every time contains some sort of chicken or ...

Pros: I enjoyed the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the atmosphere is relaxing
Cons: need more dining space.

I recently dined at the restaurant both in Chesapeake Va. and Norfolk Va 21st. I am pleased to say the meal was wonderful. The soup was absolutely delicious. I personally cannot complain about anything. The lettuce,and tomatoes were fresh and the wait...

Pros: Attractive looking building & interior.
Cons: Complete lack of service.

I have never been to an establishment (outside of a college cafeteria) where
I have to toast & spread my own bagel and pour my own coffee and the counter
help has the gall to leave a tip jar on the counter. I did all the work,
they...

Pros: Great sandwiches; Bagels are awesome!
Cons: Long lines at lunch. A bit pricey. Not enough seating in many outlets.

In my neck of the woods, they are known as St. Louis Bread Company. Many locations to choose from. The menu is ideal for lunch or coffee. STL Bread is a great meeting spot, too.

The prices can be a bit high. The lunch lines can get quite...

Pros: Modern & clean restaurant with nice menu. Extremely nice employees.
Cons: NONE AT ALL!

Today was the first day I have been to the restaurant Panera Bread. The one I went to is located on Long Island right near the Walt Whitman mall. When first entering the building, you get that cozy feeling with all the earthly colored walls, ...

Pros: Fast Service; Friendly People
Cons: None

I am here to tell you first hand that Panera Bread has incredible food. I have been an employee there for about a month now and see what goes on. There is a big variety of sandwiches, breads, and soups to choose from, along with the gigantic bakery....
