Panera Bread. What can you say bad about this place. They offer plenty of good healthy selections and a rotation of special items on the menu. Of course if you had a bad experience or food was not good then a poor rating would be justified. Overall this is a good place for lunch. I tried the new salad today. Mediterranean chicken salad with quinoa. It was good. A bit on the dryer side but the quinoa was crunchy and the kale added some additional crunch. Mango iced tea was a hit on a hot summer day. My only complaint was that it was super busy and the counter where you pick up your food was loaded with people. The counter height is such that anyone who is shorter will breath right on your food. There was a lady who was complaining there was only one slice of cheese on her sand which and breathing on the food in front of her. Gross. There should be a line or something to let people know to stand back. It's a tight place and so not sure if that will help or not. Other than that. Food was great and will return again.

I came here to pick my husband up who was enjoying a conversation with a friend. I went to get a Tea. Sadly the tea I chose was really weak. Usually it's a bright PINK color, but the hibiscus tea was this very pale purple, sort of like the acai tea, with little to no flavour. When I told one of the servers, she didn't have a clue about her product. But she did go ahead and was going to brew a new pot. Sadly I didn't have time to wait.

Saturday 8 am. Got a turkey sausage sandwich and a bacon sandwich with some coffee. First the turkey sw wasn't in the bag. Then when I got it there was small bits of meat in the egg. The bacon sandwich had 4 slivers no bigger than my finger. Not even 1 full piece between the bread. They are too stingy with their meats. Makes me think management rides them on it or something. Go to another Panera if you want a breakfast fix. This one is too cheap.

O man, this was alot of food! Had the 2 combination item with Chicken Cob Chopped Salad and a Chicken Panini. I was not expecting the Chopped Salad to be that big. It was almost 4 cups of ingredients. Massive, just massive and pretty tasty as well

Great food but really horrible service. My friends and I met there for lunch today, the place was busy but not packed. We ordered first and everything was fine. Then our friends ordered and was sitting with us and our food waiting for their pager to go off. Finally they went back and asked the girl about their food. The girl was extremely rude and and said it wasn't ready. Their pager never went off so they went back a second time and their food was just sitting there on the counter. No one had even paged them that their food was ready. Again the girl was rude to my friend. As we were leaving we overheard two ladies talking about how rude the girl at the food counter was.

I always love Panera because I can eat healthy without too much effort. I can also eat like a monster if I'm feeling of the beast persuasion. Do stay away on Sundays. This joint is more packed than an Ybor night club without a cover.

Ok well I'm sitting in this place so I might as well review it. It's a Panera right? so they have lots of yummy pastries and bagels and some soup/salad/sandwich options that seem to be more healthy than a lot of other place. In particular I like their coffee. . . way WAY better than the celestial deer place (which always tastes a little burned to me). The hazelnut in particular is quite good. The food is good too I've eaten all over the menu and never really been disappointed although I've never been just amazed either. They have free wi fi but limit you to an hour during peak lunch times. There are a few things that are unique to this location. First it's a little small they've sub-divided the eating space to make more booth/table combo seating. This makes it a little bit crowded it's also a little bit loud. A good bit of the eating space is tiled so sound just sort of bounces around. Normally I'd give them 4 stars but the crowded loud atmosphere they've created here keeps them at 3.

Great spot to grab a casual lunch. This location is near work, so it's a good quick option. The service is usually prompt and I have never had a problem with my food. Portions are pretty generous for the price, so I appreciate that too!

I love this place! Fresh bread and delicious food! Lots of room inside to sit. Seating area outside isn't the best, but they did a good job with what they had. I usually get a half sandwich and a soup. I like that you don't have to have chips or nothing, you can opt for an apple, which tastes good with the broccoli and cheddar soup!

In St. Louis, Panera is called St. Louis Bread Company. This location was very clean, fast service, and great food. I ordered a Pick 2 Bacon Turkey Bravo and Chicken Caesar Salad. The sandwich was good and the salad was great. Will return to this location the next time that I am in town for business.

Awesome broccoli and cheese soup with caesar salad. Also the cookies, brownies, cinnamon crunch bagels and breakfast sandwiches rock. Love this place!

Panera Bread has gone downhill. The soups taste like they are canned, and they are super stingy with salad toppings. The salads are mostly just lettuce with hardly any meat, nuts, seeds, etc. The paninis become smaller and smaller with hardly anything on them. For the same price (almost 10 bucks), you can have a higher quality meal someplace else. This place is only good for the wi-fi, the bread, and baked goods. Soups, sandwiches, and salads have become mediocre.

Loving this Panera Bread for it's great customer service and always fresh food. The fact that there's tons of parking and free WiFi only makes me more of a fan.
