Description

The Panera Bread location on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie has received mixed feedback, reflecting a struggle between familiar comfort and recent disappointments. While many patrons appreciate the warm atmosphere and quality offerings—like the Baja bowl and Caprese melt—concerns about service efficiency and food safety have surfaced. Instances of improper order fulfillment and dismissive management responses have tarnished experiences for some diners. Additionally, rising prices coupled with diminishing portion sizes have disheartened long-time customers. Despite these challenges, some guests commend the friendly staff and fresh food, highlighting the need for improved consistency and attention to customer concerns.

I wish things didn't take so long here. There was one person in front of me but because the cashier has to then go and make the order, the rest of the line has to wait. This guy must have ordered 50 bagels all sliced and the slicer was broken. So it all had to be done by hand. So we all stand there. Just seems inefficient. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

I recently tried a breakfast takeout from this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional, earning a perfect 5-star rating for its quality and flavor. Even considering the low price range of $1 to $10 per person, the dishes exceeded my expectations. The service was quite good, receiving a solid 4 stars. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. As for the atmosphere, even though it was a takeout meal, you could tell that the restaurant had a warm and inviting vibe, deserving of a 5-star rating. It definitely sets a great tone for anyone dining in. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for breakfast takeout—great food, pleasant service, and a lovely atmosphere!

Atmosphere, they need to update it or keep it simple. Otherwise, the food was really good and almost more than I could handle. (I can eat a lot) prices were average but they had great combos you could do and you can get half subs which is still a good meal. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Myself and our friends have been very fond of the place. We have been going to Panera for 20 years at least once or twice a week. Someone gradually over the pst 2-3 yrs it’s quality has gone down and they are charging more. Coffee has been frequentlycold, bagels are smaller and not good. They are not able to make any improvements, seems like their top administration areunaware or ignoring. I have found lots of other people have similar feelings.
