I love this Panera! It's clean every time I come, and unlike the one in Williston, my silverware is clean. The service here is quick and the vibe is relaxing, even when they are busy!

One of my favorite places for lunch. The menu is ever changing and the staff are very helpful. They take the time to make sure your order is what you would expect. The service is fast, even on busy times. You can be in and out there in less than an hour. You can also order online for pick up.

We stopped at this location while staying in the area. The cashier couldn't answer simple menu questions, then she rang it up cash after we told her credit. The manager had to be called to redo our whole order. When our Togo order was finally ready we checked our bag & soup was missing. When we went back to get it, the employee preparing food was eating & preparing food with the same gloves, yuck! Definitely not what I expect from Panera.

This Panera was great. My favorite part was that they brought your order out to you. In NY they don't do that, you have to wait and carry it yourself The food was great, and I liked the dinner roll with my soup instead of a baguette like I'm accustomed to. My Mediterranean veggie sandwich was great. Good options for vegetarians.

Panera's newest location in the Burlington area! I must say its gonna do well from what I can tell. For the new people in town or travelers to the Burlington area this used to be a Friendly's. It was old smelly and felt like it was gonna cave in around you! What Panera did this with location is just flat out amazing! They now have an open floor plan and a lot more setting! You will still find your classic fireplace, comfy chairs with a small coffee table and booths to pick from! A little something for everyone. They also offer free WiFi for their customers. (Hint hint college students!) The service here is very quick. We ordered our food before we sat down like at any other Panera and we went ahead and sat our selves. They had our food out to us within 10 minutes. The restaurant was very clean on top of that! Pricing here is also very fair. For one bread bowl and one sandwich we spent about $19.46. It's cheap and it taste good! My only complaint about Panera is the rewards card. Its more or less how it works. When we earn points it never seems to earn us anything that we would use. A few months ago we got a free smoothie...However we don't like smoothies so it did nothing for us. This past trip we got a free cookie....And we don't eat cookies all that much. What they should do is do what Subway does. earn points toward items you ORDER. Like subs, soup or other items that can be bought for a certain amount of points. Now this is not an issue with this location and this will not reflect on its score. So I have to give this location a 5/5 stars. I walked in AMAZED with what they did with this space. They gave it another life and the service is as equally as good. It's by far my favorite location in Vermont to date!

This is a Panera Bread. They exist all over the country. It's pretty standard stuff... There is absolutely nothing special about this place...it's good quality food, at reasonable costs. It tastes pretty good too, but exactly as if you had bought it at the Panera Bread in Florida or New York. I go here when I want predictability. With that being said: this particular Panera gets 3 stars because every time I've been here the service has been fairly slow, even if they're not that busy. I think one time it was fairly quick, and it was during the lunch rush. I've waited 10 minutes for a latte there though. (Starbucks down the road will have it to you in 2.) Also, the floor plan is open, but with a lot more small tables than some Panera's seem to have. Many Panera's are set up to for patrons to come in, sit and work. I felt like this one is more suited for people just to eat. It's a shame too, because if you're there you can refill your coffee as much as you please. It's also quite noisy during peak hours, unlike a lot of other Panera's where the couple at the table next to yours is whispering, and all you hear is the smooth jazz or classical soundtrack they seem to play at every location. And finally those two stars come out because of the strange lighting in there. A table will either be so bright you can't work at a computer, or so dim your eyes strain. It just doesn't have that "I can go chill and pound out my writing" vibe that other Panera's do. But, if you just want to have a quick light lunch with friends and know everyone will be satisfied (though not raving) about their meals, this is a great go-to spot.

I've found it consistently easy to get seating and while its hard for me to stand, I just pop into the line when it's small. My some employees, I'm now greeted by name. Look for Monique (AMs) and a guy who speaks Spanish with a smile bigger than the planet. If they typify training, the company is good. There are some real stars on the service/cashier line--helpful, friendly, fast, smart. Big smiles. The food quality, and wide choice, is outstanding. Big-gun management is around watching, and checking on trouble spots/filling in at the register, looking for mall things: tables, china drop off, rest rooms. There's an occasional snag: after a rush, lemons might run out for iced tea. As with all such chains, few offer healthy sweetener alternatives like Stevia; providing this on request would distinguish them. For now, I carry my own.
