Panera Bread - Temple
Panera Bread
Description
Recent experiences at Panera Bread reveal a blend of commendable service and menu inconsistencies. While many patrons enjoyed friendly interactions with staff and appreciated the attentive service, complaints arose regarding rising prices and bland tea offerings. The Sip Club membership was met with mixed feelings, particularly for those seeking stronger beverages. However, recommendations for certain items, like the beloved baguette and French onion soup, still stand strong. Overall, while customer service often shines brightly, the need for menu improvement and value consideration remains a significant factor for frequent visitors.

I placed my order through the app, which was convenient. However, it seems like everyone else has also caught on to this hidden gem, causing the kitchen to be swamped with mobile orders rather than walk-ins. My order ended up being delayed by at least 10 minutes, so I recommend ordering well in advance. The food was delicious and the smoothie was fantastic. Overall, no other complaints.
I came to the Panera at USF and they were extremely friendly and welcoming. I was sick and they made sure that I got my hot tea and told me to feel better. They were attentive to their customers and did it with a smile on their face. These employees at this particular Panera is unlike any other. I would know, I’ve worked at other Panera’s in the Tampa area and I have not experienced or witnessed the kind of customer service I’ve received today.
I absolutely adore French Onion Soup! I recently found out that they offer a coffee subscription program where you can pay $10 a month for unlimited refills on either hot or cold coffee. I will definitely be checking this out!
I highly recommend the Panera Bread at the MSC at USF. Tania, an employee there, always brightens my day and takes the time to ask about how I'm doing. She truly enhances the atmosphere at Panera Bread and I can't imagine going there as often without her there. The service is top-notch and Tania's personality makes it even better!
Prices have climbed too high for us to be able to enjoy this restaurant. 16 oz drink has climbed to $2.79, hot food is still not hot and favorite items are being dropped. Very difficult to justify frequenting this food place. $30 for a bowl of soup and a sandwich lunch. Fixed incomes cannot afford this. Will not be patronizing anymore.
