Panera Bread - Dublin

This Panera always has a friendly and helpful staff. It’s clean and the food is good. Easy to get to and plenty of parking, including handicap parking and entrance.Kid-friendliness: Easy place to grab a bite with kids before or after local activities.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot, entrance, and seating already all wheelchair accessible but they don’t have an automatic door opener. Help may be required to get through the outside door for the entry room and the second glass door into the restaurant.

I must really love the idea of Panera bread a cafe like place where you could have a nice warm drink and meal while you finish up your work. Unfortunately, it 's impossible to get any work done because music is playing so loud. The only thing louder is the staff yelling at each other. Today was raining and cold day and I didn 't want to be stuck in traffic so I went here and ordered soup and a sandwich. I waited about half an hour for my meal in a surprising cold restaurant. I don 't know if their heater wasn 't working or what, but it made eating their unbearable. When I finally got my food, I was starving and I literally whimpered when I tasted my soup and realized it was cold. Like, out of a can and into a bowl type of cold. This is not the place to be to escape the cold or to enjoy a meal or peace and quiet.I don 't know what this place is even for. It doesn 't seem to have an upside. It will be my last time ever giving Panera bread a shot.

Chicken green goddess bagette sounded good to me. Instead I got the green goddess sandwich with two thin sliced tomatoes a bit of mayonnaise and wilted salad leaves all for $11.39? Are you kidding me? Basically toasted bread with a bit of salad. What a joke. Tasted as bad as it looks.

This location usually has decaf even in the evenings, but if they don't, then if just ask, as they are happy to make some fresh. We love that they have almond milk available on the condiments counter, along with cinnamon, especially on these recent cold days. Love having a microwave available for bread or to reheat coffee or hot tea. Not their fault that arugula has been discontinued from sandwiches salads, but that was one reason we went to Panera. Wish they had vegan options besides hummous. A company that touts healthy, fresh food ought to have something for everyone. A vegan protein source, even tofu would do, would be welcomed, as well as at least a couple vegan pastry options! Dining room here is spacious, clean, with a calm, relaxed vibe. Free WiFi for those who are working or studying. Cashier was very pleasant, polite, and welcoming.Vegetarian options: Great for vegetarians, nothing specifically for vegans. Have to omit many dressings, cheese (on pretty much everything), eggs, dairy milk butter, protein sources, so pretty much just left with a plain salad or Mediterranean bowl (adding a scoop of quinoa/chick peas/lentils) would be a good start for protein.

Just don't. They're overpriced for the quality of food you get and EXTREMELY SLOW. Waite's over twenty minutes just to get Mac and cheese. They're literally scooping it into a cup. No excuse for this. Just don't go. Save you money and save your time.
