I typically order the same thing every time I visit Panera. I get the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad and the Creamy Tomato Soup. There are a lot of new menu items that I haven't tried yet, but I should. I like ordering on the app and waiting until my name comes up on the screen to collect my food. If I had to give make a negative comment it would be the music. They play the most obnoxious music on the house speakers. I try to find a table away from the noise but there is no escaping it. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they just turned it down a little. read more

Great experience all around, except for the individual problem employee who has consistently ignored my drink order for several months. I receive instructions on my orders to grab a cup and serve myself. This option is available in Phoenix but not Albuquerque. I generally am in and out within 5 minutes, except for when one employee is working. This employee has ignored has ignored my drink order for up 20 or 30 minutes at a time. At this point, it is a consistent problem. read more

We stopped by Panera Bread for lunch and had a mixed experience. The food itself was good. I ordered the You Pick Two with a tuna sandwich, chicken noodle soup, chips, and a Passion Fruit Refresher. My husband had the You Pick Two with the hot chicken sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, chips, and a Dr Pepper. Everything tasted fresh and we enjoyed our meals. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself was disappointing. The dining area looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The floors and booths were covered with crumbs, and it was obvious they hadn't been attended to for hours. On top of that, dirty dishes were stacked up everywhere, making it seem like no one had been able to keep up with the dining room. (Please see pictures and video taken). The food was definitely the highlight, but the cleanliness of the restaurant took away from the overall experience. Hopefully this was just an off day........ read more

We were looking for a healthy lunch so this was some compromise lol. I have to try the steakhouse salad stuffer, and the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad stuffer and the new steakhouse salad stuffer. This was somewhat different, but they were really tasty, hence the lol on "healthy lunch.". It was really good and I look forward to trying some of the other flavors next time. We also got the cup of broccoli cheddar, which was awesome and the creamy tomato soup which was OK. The service was quick and items came in short order. For a little sweet treat at the end I'd said to try one of those Dubai style chocolate pistachio cookies.. let me tell you as a smart choice. The only problem is I should've opted for the four pack. read more

The interior of the Santa Fe Panera Bread restaurant was filthy and the delivery of the food incredibly slow. Sitting on the bench and waiting for the food was disgusting, with the floor littered with trash and dirty dishes left on many tables around us. The workers were walking around like zombies, looking miserable and detached from the customers and their jobs. Nothing about our food orders was complicated, yet it took more than twenty minutes for the food to appear at the counter. If we hadn't already paid we would have walked out, for sure. We'll never go back. read more

The food is great, the service was good, and the place was somewhat clean. It has a free refills, and the cashiers were cooperative, I would go again. Just maybe clean the paper towels of the floor. read more

Christopher was my cashier. I was really wanting a salad. I went up to the counter and said hi, to which I got nothing. No hi, hello, or anything. I said what I wanted. He didn't ask for my phone number for my points. I got no thank you. I love Panara Bread, but the service was really non-existent today. I enjoyed my salad. Please train this person to at least say Hi, hello and thank you. It would be greatly appreciated. read more

We started coming to Panera during the pandemic, it was good during those winter days when you stood in line to go to the grocery store for a few hours in the cold. The soups were always good, the sandwiches were hot and melty and the salads had nice little accompaniments. Now, sadly, those days are gone. The restaurant itself always clean and nice, yet no matter the temp out side you can count on the climate control to be set to "meat locker". The self check outs are actually nice, you can browse the menu without feeling the pressure of holding someone up in line behind you. There are 2 major issues here, and one of them I was willing to overlook until recently. First, the food always gives me and my family bubble guts. Whatever, you just clear the rest of your night. The second is the food quality and portion size has really diminished. See the attached pic of the bacon avacado sandwich.... It had like 4 bacon bits on it! They've also hidden the cups and drink stations. Panera could come back, but I doubt we will be back read more

Panera Bread - Chicken avacado sandwich - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this place! I used to travel on business quite a bit all over the US and I would always look up a location for lunch. My favorite is the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with chips and lemonade. So tasty! This particular location is in the heart of Midtown at Coronado Mall. Parking is plentiful unless it's the holiday season. Our wait time to order and neal pick up was ~5 minutes. Clean table, quiet atmosphere. The bathrooms require a key code to open. Annoying, but they have to do this due to the mall location. My order portion was as expected but the person I went with ordered a bowl of soup that was filled about half of the way. I guess that's normal but it was disappointing. read more

I was so excited to finally dine in Panera after a long time. I missed their frescas and bread. However, I was sorely disappointed with my experience at this location. Usually when there's an issue with our order, they make it right. Last year, we had a similar issue about toasted bread. It is a hit or miss with service. But this time, it was just passively awful. We always order their hot French baguette as a snack. The only difference is that we ordered through the kiosk bc of the pandemic. We put a note that said "hot bread please" "+ thin sliced." It wasn't until I went to pick up the order they told us that they can't put the baguette in the oven for us, and to use a microwave?!!! The food prep person was nice, but apparently management couldn't do what we asked. Another person tried to tell is it was OUR fault for asking thin sliced, even though they could have put the baguette in the oven FIRST, before slicing it. They wouldn't even reheat a new one unless we paid for it. The evidence is in the pictures. How is it our fault when we were specific in our notes? This isn't the Panera I remember where they take customer satisfaction seriously. First of all, microwaving bread makes the bread rubbery. Bc of that statement, I wasn't happy. Everyone knows, toasted bread hits differently. On top of it all, our broccoli and cheddar soup wasn't even hot at all, and the baguette that they accompany it with was COLD?! Normally, it comes hot and crisp as you bite into it, and best dipped on HOT soup. It just reminded me of how they literally stick the soup bags in a hot water, and the bread in a heater. You had one job. And it wasn't even busy. There were 2 small parties dining in. If they lack care in their job, imagine what else they're lacking in. My SO used to work for Panera and knows how it's run. This was unacceptable. I'll be reporting this to corporate. Side note: you have to ask someone to get a drink refill, i.e they bring you a new cup each time. read more

Took a few days to settle some confusion I had over what I was charged but it all worked out with the manager's assistance. I always have soup, mainly chicken noodle, and it's always the same quality every time. Pretty crowded at lunchtime when I went but my order was promptly completed. read more

Napa Almond chicken salad sand which by far my favorite choice at Panera. Really love this place a little bit more on the healthier side and has many options. If you and a partner or friends can't agree type of meal for the day this is a good option! From pizza-salad they have a lot. The staff is also very friendly no complaints! 10/10 read more

Panera Bread - Napa Almond chicken salad sand which - Salad Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We finally found the place nearest to us on Jefferson. Although the sandwiches looked like they had been slapped together in five seconds, they tasted very good! The grilled cheese needed more butter and toasting, the ranch sandwich needed to have the bacon more evenly distributed. It's not like your mom used to make for you! But for fast food, it's a cut above the rest. Presentation needs more care. read more

A bit overpriced and the ambiance is lacking with lots of dirty tables. Seems cleaning equipment is left out in the open. Overrated food.

I was surprised to like it as much as I did: it's a professional operation if not an especially tasty repast. The food was plentiful and not too outrageously priced (by today's post-inflation standards) and the staff was pretty on-it. The room was pretty clean (bus yourself, but they had people cleaning up, too) and was pleasant for conversation with comfortable seating even when it got pretty busy. Ordering is either via a snaky line that takes forever or a serve-yourself kiosk (what I did) which is intuitive enough - but why are you asking for a tip? Getting your sandwich was a little bit of a clusterfrack - there are a mob of DoorDash guys blocking your access to where you're supposed to pick it up when you get the text, despite the best efforts of the expediter/manager to herd them aside. Sandwiches and chips weren't especially great: bread struck me as a little insipid and I don't love how you have to pay for stuff (cheese, avocado) that should really be part of the sandwich to begin with (a cold turkey sandwich on fluffy bread, chips and a drink cost me over $20 with a small tip for the nice counterfolks who eventually handed me the sandwich around the DoorDash drivers). But they leave you alone for as long as you want to stay and the drinks are of nice quality (certainly the best thing there - good iced tea/coffee). NB - they require a code to access the bathrooms due no doubt to the "urban outdoorsmen" who frequent the mall area - the code was 1894# when we were there. read more

Panera Bread, if nothing else, is pretty much always consistent. You know that if you visit a Panera shop you will get a consistent meal complete with real utensils, served on a real platter. The side options are always the same, bread, chips, or apple. The "you pick two" option is my go-to meal. Soups vary each day, salads, bowls, sandwiches, etc. are always made consistently for size, taste, and ingredients. I appreciate being able to get seltzer water from the tap, as this is my preferred drink. As for this location in specific, well nothing stands out to be honest - it's not above average, and it's not terrible. But again, that is the beauty of Panera - it's consistently good in every way. read more

Ordered at the tablet - quick and easy. Needed to make a personal request for a cut apple as my side item. Personable young woman behind the counter was happy to oblige. A young man brought our food to our table. He returned several times to clear away empty plates. The food was very good. We had ten vegetable soup, chicken Cesar salad, chicken noodle soup, and child's mac'n'cheese with strawberry yogurt. We also purchased two teas - hot & cold - and two cookies. Yummy We love Panera since the food is consistently good, and the service is always pleasant. read more

Today is my birthday and I'm going for all my free stuff around Albuquerque today. I went inside to ask for my free pastry but they said I had to sign up. So I went back to my car and did so put in my order and picked up it with the quick pick up at their location it all took less then 10 minutes. The lady at the register was so nice to let me know about the email list. She even helped me find the quick pick up when I went back in. read more

When I'm with my daughter and we can't figure out where to go, Panera is always a good pick. They have a kids meals that isn't too expensive and with options she likes. My 2 yr old ordered the Mac and cheese and I got the turkey with apple and cheese half sandwich and the broccoli cheddar soup. It was yum! I recommend the location at the mall because you can always do some shopping at the same time! read more

This place is really hit and miss. Some days we get great service and wait staff that really appear to know and enjoy what they're doing. Other times it's a Burger King atmosphere with trendy salads and sandwiches. We like the salads as soup/sandwich combos. The tea variations are nice, too. It's in the mail, so it gets ample traffic throughout the day. It's especially busy at the height of lunch hour, so plan accordingly. We will probably come back just because the food is not bad and, as mentioned earlier, sometimes we really get exceptional service. read more

I used to work for this company as a teenager, and my goodness this food has gone downhill. Stale bread, tiny portions in unfilled sandwiches, and mass produced bakery items didn't used to be what this place stood for, but I guess quality has taken a major hit since this place fully switched from a Paradise Bakery to a Panera Bread. So consistently disappointed lately! For example, I got a Napa Almond Chicken Sandwich today. It's a longtime staple of Panera (and was on the menu years ago at Paradise, too). This sandwich and the tuna sandwich used to be something I looked forward to as a healthy meal. Today, the bread is stale at best and the sandwiches hardly have more than a teaspoon of actual meat. Today, I stopped by and tried one of the new lattes. Since when do customers have to get up and get their own order here? Latte was like 40% whipped cream (see picture after I spooned it off). Why do I bother coming back? read more

This place can get busy during meal time but don't fret, staff are efficient. There's also a lot of places to sit whether you are alone or in a large group. I love how technologically convenient this place is as well. For one, you can skip the line and order at a kiosk. Secondly, you put your buzzer from your order on the sensor on your table so staff can bring you your food easily. LOVE THAT! Southwest Chile lime ranch with chicken (4/5): you get a good amount of avocado and chicken. The dressing really brings this together read more

When I think of Panera, I imagine a crisp fall day curried pumpkin soup and a latte in hand. Panera is probably best known for its bakery (great pastries) and its sandwiches (although a little pricey at times). My dad and his friends greatly enjoy the coffee here and the service is usually pretty quick. I've also enjoyed the hot chocolate with the caramel, whipped cream, and several giant chocolate chip cookie flavored marshmallows. One time, the marshmallows were forgotten on my order and the staff returned with marshmallows galore. Sweet enough to be eaten on their own. Try the turkey chili in a bread bowl to bring you back to those autumn nights read more

I visited this location for breakfast. The restaurant is very clean and provides a relaxing ambiance. The quality of the food is great and service was quick. It does cost more than your typical fast food establishment, but I find that the quality of the food and the dine-in experience worth it.

Nice place for a light lunch. Light is the operative word here. Cup-o-soup and half a sandwich. Salad maybe. Not hearty portions. The soups are good. The sandwiches are underwhelming and the prices a bit high. The plating is nice and the staff are friendly. On a brighter note, the bread is scrumptious. It better be, it's a bread company after all. read more

My go to for breakfast when I'm out of ideas and don't want to rub shoulders with the rest of Albuquerque at The Grove.
