Panera Bread

Description

Tucked in a Virginia Beach shopping center, this Panera blends consistently fresh soups and tempting pastries with a cozy, cafe-like atmosphere—pleasant lighting, a fireplace and an outdoor patio add charm. The facility is kept clean, staff are helpful and management is responsive to mistakes, though mobile-pickup mix-ups and occasional out-of-stock items occur. Parking is available nearby if you don’t mind a short walk, making it a reliable spot for coffee, casual meals, and relaxed meetups.

The food here is consistently delicious and fresh. I particularly enjoy the broccoli and French onion soups. The pastries are incredibly tempting, although many of them are high in calories. From time to time, I indulge in a pastry that's on the lighter side calorie-wise.

I'm hooked! The food and smoothies are fantastic. The BBQ chicken salad is absolutely amazing!

Very bad customer service. I came to pick up a mobile order and I asked the guy at the counter bagging orders if they had an order for my name. He said they’re still working on it. It will be out soon. I proceed to watch him bag an order and place it on the shelf. Assuming it’s not mine because surely he would tell me if it was mine because I just talk to him about it. He then walks away. I look at the order on the shelf. It’s for me. Thank you for letting me know.

This Panera is really lovely. The coffee preparation area is compact, but there are plenty of seating options that make it feel cozy, including a fireplace and an outdoor patio with a privacy wall. The restrooms are clean, and while there are many kiosks, the staff is also quite helpful. The atmosphere inside is peaceful, and the lighting is pleasant, providing a cafe experience that's better than some other locations in Virginia Beach. A few of the Virginia Beach sites could really use updates and thorough cleaning!
