We love Panera! We're on a road trip and joined the sip club so we could get coffee and beverages every day that we're by a Panera. There's a lot of Paneras and we've used the sip club quite a bit. This Panera was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and, as always, the iced coffee was delicious. Another great Panera experience

Food was great, ambiance was clean and comfy, service was great. Bathrooms clean. Kudos to Christine who was a friendly, helpful, and a cheerful employee!

Wilted nasty lettuce

Tried to eat here once. First time the lettuce in my salad was bad. Impossible to reach anyone online or on the phone to complain. Had some money left on a gift card so I gave it one more chance, and I'm not kidding that they put one slice of salami on my $13 salad. Please do not eat here, do not throw your money away. You'd be better off going to a grocery store and making the same things better quality and for 1/10 of the price.

Rotten apple they gave me for my lunch!

I know better than to expect good things from this Panera. I can't figure out why the Panerai in Corvallis is so wonderful and the one in Albany sucks? So I got the Southwest chicken ranch salad and a blood orange drink. My total wa 19.00!! For a salad and a small drink!! The lettuce was warm and wilted. I chose the apple as my side because I can't have bread. The apple was old, I mean really old!! It was slushy and brown when I cut it open. I don't have an issue paying for a good meal. I personally think 19.00 is too high for a salad and a small drink. Especially when I went through the drive through. I guess imm make the drive to Corvallis is I really want panara! It would be nice if Panama could get their act together in Albany.

Rapid Pick Up available, but it's so cute inside, why rush?

This location needs work. Regularly in the morning they are out of breakfast soufflés and it's not even 8am. One day I had terrible luck because those were out a breakfast & I came back at lunch and they were out of broccoli cheddar soup. The food is good quality it's more of a numbers game of what is in stock.

Great natural lighting

The first time I was here was when I had to do my tire rotation for my car at costco, which is right next to here across the street. This Panera is very spacious inside and has a very very good natural lighting! It has self service checkout kiosk where you can take your time to order the food. Everything was neat and clean. I came back for a second time to study, and I had a productive study session because it wasn't noisy and the music they play in the background is just so good my server was so nice and attentive. I can tell she's hard working because she'd find things to do like cleaning tables during downtime. This will definitely be one of my go-to spots for studying from now on!

Good job, Summer. Lol.

This Panera Bread is consistently bad. I've now given them three chances. All three times I've done curbside to go. First time I went I was missing so much food and each of my kids orders were dead wrong. Second visit, the sandwich was ice cold. Literally there was frost in it. Soup was cold too. Third visit, I show up to curbside at the time I selected. Pressed the "I'm here," and proceed to wait 15 minutes in my car. No one came out like before. I check the order and it won't let me press the I'm Here again. I walk in and let them know I've been waiting. The gal walks over and gets my order from the back. The food is cold, wasn't really hot in the first place, and the ice has melted in the drink. Lol. Just consistently bad. The staff seem nice but it must be managed terribly or something.

Empty Panera because of bad customer service and gross food.

See all

One of the nicest Panera Bread I've ever been. The place is clean and spacious. Took one star off cause my hazelnut coffee is lukewarm.

We had to get up early this morning to run some errands and ended up driving through Albany when we…read morefound this place on Yelp. We decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did. It was very busy when we walked in, but the wait was short. We were starving and didn't want to wait for a table, so we sat at the bar instead. Best decision ever. The service was incredible. The girls were so sweet, Casey is amazing! and the hostess was incredibly accommodating. The food was hands down the best breakfast my husband and I have ever had. If you haven't been here yet, you absolutely need to try it, you won't be sorry. The only regret you'll have is not coming in sooner. Even the coffee was fire!

I met my Cousin, and Aunt for lunch before the Holidays, and what a great choice. I drove from…read moreEugene, and they drove from Salem for our lunch. I had never been to this side of Albany before, so it was great. Heads up for those of you that have never been here, there is parking on the street, or some parking lots I believe. It's an older building with character. It was really busy, but they fit us right in. I don't quite remember everything on the menu, I do remember they had a wide variety of breakfast, and lunch. There were some salads calling my name, but ultimately there was a French dip that won me over. I must say, I am happy with my choice. It was very flavorful, and I also added a cup of chili. I would recommend both. Service was fast, and the staff were all really nice. Sorry, I didn't get any pics. I was too excited to see my family.

What can about The Squeaky Cork.... except YES, PLEASE!!!…read more We wandered in for a pre dinner drink since we were early for my BF's birthday rez down the street and oh my gosh am i glad we did!! This has to be one of the coolest places in Albany! Decorated perfectly and cozy enough to feel like everyone is your neighbor! We only had apps (charcuterie) and drinks (he had a stout, i had a whiskey sour - have it made with shanky's whip and thank me later!!). The board had such a variety on it, we weren't sure where to start! and the drinks..... well, they are the well paved road to alcoholism!! I cannot wait to go back here and try the other food! Hopefully the same guy is there to greet us, because he was the friendliest little man this side of the wilamette!!

Everything about this place is cool, hospitable, warm and inviting. My oldest kid had a chili dog, which they thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered the shepherd's pie and a kids charcuterie board. Both were chef's kiss. The Squeaky Cork houses a full bar, and the spirit selection was quite impressive (particularly the Scotch). The wait staff and bartender were so pleasant and accommodating. No pretension, just good vibes. We appreciated the coloring books and crayons for our little ones as did the more grown-up fare on the kids menu. As a finale to a fun dining experience, the check was brought to us in a Scottish vintage hardcover book, pretty sweet! This eatery was definitely a highlight of our travels. It embodies a community pub vibe, that's for sure.

We definitely will work Sybaris into our regular date night.

Tough experience tonight at Sybaris. I would like to start by saying that the food was very good…read more We get the opportunity to eat here once or twice a year on special occasions and have done so for the past 16 years. It is always a big deal for me when I get to tell my wife that we are going to Sybaris. Tonight was going to be even more memorable because we brought our daughter along to celebrate Mother's Day. Our problem began when we ran into traffic and were 15 minutes late. At the door, our waiter informed us that the restaurant seats people every half hour. I apologized and we were seated. If I had known what was coming I would have turned around at the door and left. What followed was two hours of some of the rudest service I have ever experienced. I spent much of my youth working in restaurants in Upstate NY. I know that customers can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but our only mistake was that we were 15 minutes late. We spent the whole meal being polite while this guy continuously made us feel uncomfortable. It's difficult to describe the way this guy was acting. The food came out and it was good, but the waiter was coming off like wise ass. At the end of the meal there were hardly any people in the restaurant. The waiter gave me the bill then waited 15 minutes to pick up my card. I guess he got his satisfaction. If there was any doubt about his intentions, when we were getting ready to leave, he kept asking me if I wanted more water. That's an asshat move. Much to my wife's dismay, I tipped him fair because that's just what you do. My daughter gained a learning experience on the nature of jerks so I suppose that's something, but overall it was a sad twist on what was supposed to be a grand event. Of course we can't ever come back, but please take this information and remind your staff that they are a big part of the dinning experience.
