Nestled on Johnston Street in Lafayette, a local restaurant has become the subject of discontent among patrons, facing criticism for its inconsistent service and questionable hygiene practices.

Was Anonym at Panera Bread a mag?
During our travels across several states in recent months, we have frequented Panera Bread as one of our go-to restaurants. Unfortunately, we have observed a decrease in both food quality and service at many locations, which has been disappointing. However, our experience at the Panera location in Lafayette today was a pleasant surprise! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the food was fresh and prepared... View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Panera Bread:
The restaurant on Johnston Street in Lafayette has questionable employees and a questionable manager. I believe that this restaurant will not be in business next year. They have limited their hours significantly and are having trouble retaining employees. The only ones who seem to stick around are the shady characters they have hired. Avoid this place and don't let them take advantage of you. View all feedback.

It was a first visit. I forgot to take pictures. But the food was good. There was a variety of healthy choices. It is a self serve environment. You pick your choice, pay for it and they call you when it's ready. The seating is spacious but there is no table service. They have handicap parking and seating. The bathroom was clean and the staff was very professional. When you finish eating you throw your trash and return your tray. An employee cleans the table after you finish. I was told that they close at 3pm because they don't have the staff.
