Panera Bread
3.8 / 5 (2788 reviews)

Description

Panera offers a variety of delicious options, but recent feedback highlights concerns over portion sizes and pricing. Patrons often find the "pick 2" combos and soups disappointingly small, with some dishes lacking key ingredients. Despite the high cost—sometimes nearing $40 for just a couple of meals—customers appreciate the friendly service and clean atmosphere. Favorites like the broccoli cheese soup and chipotle chicken flatbread keep diners returning, but many express a desire for better value. However, exceptional customer service, particularly during order mix-ups, adds a positive note to the dining experience, keeping loyal fans hopeful for improvements.

I ordered an item using the app to come to the drive through. When I got there a few minutes later they said they were sold out, even though I had reserved one. It wasn’t a busy time of the day either. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Went in and ordered a you pick 2 which consisted of a half cup of broccoli cheddar soup and a half toasted Italiano sandwich, plus a regular drink. It was going to cost $20. I refused to pay that much for a half sandwich and a half cup of soup and walked out. Not a happy camper!! I used to enjoy eating at Panera! Meal type: Dinner

I just have to say this: why is the bread so hard? You could seriously knock someone out with it! I have strong teeth, no cavities, and yet biting into that bread was painful—no exaggeration. I wouldn't be surprised if others have lost a tooth because of it. Don’t get me wrong, the flavors are really good, especially for fast food, and I wish I could visit more often. But it’s a tough choice between enjoying the flavor and dealing with the pain, or opting for Burger King, which I wouldn't enjoy at all.

Food portion is getting smaller and prices are increasing. Only the unlimited sip is what's getting me to go there. Thirst trap. The workers and manager are very nice but the food quality is not!!

Super pricey for the quantity of food you get. We ordered two pick 2 combos to-go for lunch and it was almost $40. When I opened the bag I was shocked how small the portions looked. The “turkey bacon avocado” sandwich had no avocado on it either. The taste of the food is good, but I definitely can’t justify spending that kind of money for it.
