I really do not understand the appeal of this place, especially this location. The service is usually iffy at best, but mostly the staff is disinterested in anything but their phones. The food? I don't know- it just seems like the kind of food you'd get at a nursing home. Bland, uninspired food that you could make a better version of at your home in a few minutes. I can't say that any sandwich I have ever had there has stood out to me at all. Truly, I find nothing memorable about this at all. I had to find something I liked there, so I always get some kind of soup. Most of them are pretty good, like the broccoli and cheese or the wild rice or the clam chowder. None of these are specifically outstanding, but none are terrible. Honestly, this chain needs a refresh- badly. read more

Stopped in and they were out of almost all pastries other than cookies and brownies at 10a on a Friday! Wow.... popular breakfast spot. At least I could grab a tea and travel over the Starbucks. read more

They forgot some of our food, and when I put in a request for refund they never got back to me!

A solid, friendly local Panera. It's a reliable spot where you really can't go wrong with the lunch options--always fresh and consistent

This is the most disgusting Panera location. This afternoon there were little flies all over the pastries in the case. It is always dirty and the staff are too busy gossiping to clean. Service is also very lackluster. There's never anyone up front to order from. read more

This location gets worse and worse. No answering the phone. We keep ordering the pizza with pepperoni and bacon (they stopped sausage but won't take it off the board) and then forget the bacon and bread with the salad we ordered. Have to make the trip to Sterling where they at least get the orders right. read more

I had an Asian chicken salad last week. Don't get me wrong I love this salad but it was placed in a to go container upside down . There was barely any chicken! I should have returned to have it re made the correct portion. Every time it comes out different. One time I was given the Italian dressing instead of the Asian sesame dressing!! read more

This Panera has always been sub-par. I tend to go, because it's convenient to my office. However, last Tuesday (granted it was Election Day and everyone was a little distracted) was the worst. I came up to a very dirty ordering kiosk that had bits of who knows what on it. I ordered the Green goddess sandwich, which described "crisp" romaine. I get back to my office, approx 5 min away, and 1/4 of my sandwich was already soggy. The lettuce was wilted and I couldn't even eat the last bites. About 6 hours later, I was on the couch, then I was in bed trying to recover from the nausea that ensued. I have a free bagel on my members rewards, no thanks. read more

My family come to this Panera often. Great selection of salad, soups, sandwiches and desserts. I typically get the Green Goddess Cobb salad (delicious) and will sometimes get a sandwich (turkey club is my recommendation). Service is hit or miss here (depending on day and staff working). One time I ordered and ate in and my food came out quickly. This last time I came food took a lot longer (looking at limited cook staff working - it made sense why orders were coming out slow). Great selection of sodas and alternative drink products (juices, water and tea). Lots of seating however during a busy dinner or lunch hour you may have to wait to get a seat. Some of my friends say they come here to study or read. Good place to get fresh food or meet up and share a meal with friends. read more

This Panera has been my #1 go to by far for the past year+. But lately... First it was DoorDash taking over driving from one day to the next and suddenly what was working fine just ceased to be, prices went up, and selections narrowed (no more bagel breakfast sandwiches). This was partially not necessarily the fault of the people working at this store. Now, I'm paying the same pretty high price for what is obviously laziness or just plain malice: portions that are less than half full, such as the oatmeal I order almost every single day. Is it the anonymity of delivery? I'm not there at the curb to yell, "Hey, wait a minute!" that makes it easy not to care? I can always switch my love to Joe's and at least get the meats...and pancakes. Do better please - I have been a loyal customer for a decade, plus my entire family loves Panera. read more

I was very upset by my experience at Panera today. First, my bowl of Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice soup was MISSING from the order. In my order there was a pick two cup of soup as well as an order of a bowl of soup. My sister was very disappointed to find her meal was completely missing when we arrived home. In addition to this, my sandwich was completely wrong! I ordered a Bacon Avocado Melt and I received a Turkey Bacon and Cheese sandwich. I am disappointed by the lack of care and effort put into my order. This location never fails to mess up my order.. read more

My girlfriend and I came here and had a wonderful lunch on the patio. Both of our meals were great and very fresh. I got the strawberry poppyseed salad and bravo sandwich, both were great and all the fruit was fresh. A young gentleman tried smoking on the patio and the manager came out and handled the situation very well. For the inconvenience the manager gave us both free cookies. I appreciate the service and food we both got. read more

The best thing about rainy days are the soups and cheese sandwich from this place! I am soo glad i just have to cross the road to get here!

Horrible food and horrible service. I am never buying food from Panera ever again. The food tastes like trash. Arrggg

This location is the food redemption for all failed Panera's in the area. Don't divorce Panera yet until you come here. I have never received less than hot food and great customer service. I have what I paid for!! I want to jump up and click my feet in the air! I wish my camera can capture the steam from my food delivered from this location. I get excited when I get hot food. All Panera's in Loundon county should take notes from this place! FYI this during lunch rush. Great job! read more

Panera Bread - HOT chicken and rice soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

" Above and beyond goes that Mr. DeQuan." Event once in a blue moon you cross paths with a truly virtuous human and his name is Mr. De Quan. I walked into Panera frazzled. Two little girls in toe and our dog Hugo tied to the fence in the outdoor dining patio. My car battery of our new family minivan had just totally died. DeQuan immediately started asking questions as I realized the order I thought I submitted 15 minutes ago Actually was pending until I updated to a new cc. DeQuan searching in his stores system and on the phone with another location when I figured out the card issue. I final managed to put the order thru and " Chef DeQuan had it out in literally minutes for my starving children. - " Above and beyond goes that Mr. DeQuan." You are a warm and empathetic person and I really appreciate you. read more

Great food I luv Panera Mac and cheese best food alive I will always come back I promise Panera

Have been coming here for many years. Love their sandwiches, salads and soups. Always quick and good service.

Ok so ordered the "broccoli, w chicken bowl", rice is included. This bowl was 13.99 w tax, got it to my car and was super sad - reason you ask, well I don't normally order chicken dishes anymore because I don't trust the chicken. This dish is why, all dark meat, not remotely appetizing. I'm pretty picky about the meat o eat from restaurants and was just hoping this one would be different. Panera has great pastries, soup and some salads that are great. Customer service was good, but boo on the chicken. Hope it helps another picky eater. read more

Panera Bread - Great bowl concept just not a fan of dark meat and this is not because there's teriyaki in this dish. - Sandwiches Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

I enjoy coming to this Panera because the food never disappoints. They have great vegetarian options. I usually get either the mac and cheese, tomato soup, or the Mediterranean sandwich. read more

Poor service . Long wait without necessity being that they were not busy . Came across very twilight zone. They're wasting time and personnel on their rapid pick ups instead of the actual customers at store . Glad to say I won't find myself in this area again so I won't come here again . read more

With the change of management, things went south in this location. Kids work behind the counter and they won't even notice customers waiting in line . They continue to listen to their AirPods and work on online orders. On top of that, I found a piece of onion in my oatmeal!! That is disgusting. They probably use the same knife to cut strawberries to add them at the top. Just horrendous. read more

Panera bread company did not have bread. Ordered salad to go and gave name; finished salad and just put it on the very back counter without advising that order was ready. When asked how long a salad to go order takes was told "it was sitting there" like I am the idiot. Will not be a customer here again. read more

**warning*** I have repeatedly (only x3 times) over the past six months followed delivery drivers back to this location to complain to management about their employees complete disregard for human life. Today however, while walking my dog, their delivery driver Zachary blew threw a stop sign in our family friendly neighborhood, while he did so I said loud enough for him to hear "stop sign". He made the delivery, chirped tires as rounding the same corner (10mph zone) and shouted out his window at me. When reporting this time , manager blew me off. No apology. Wish I could take back the 5$ tip on a 20 dollar--1 mile delivery. Also wish I could post the video of both the blowing through stop sign and the shouting at me on his way out Attached is screenshot of the mouthy wreckless driving Panera employee read more

The fast lane kiosks caught my eye as I was waiting in line. The thoughts of minimum wage increase came to mind. I thought about how Virginia did not do an increase and that when they do, more of these kiosks were be in more stores to cut down on paying actual people. The chain reaction following these kiosks make a long unpleasant road. This is my second time in this store and it is a nice Parera Bread. The area is still in development stages, but eventually there will be a subway station near here. This store is very clean from what I have seen and the staff seems friendly enough. What I did not see were smiles on staffs faces. It makes me wonder if the employees are working at minimum wage. Nevertheless, the food service was speedy and delicious. Okay I saw one smile from a young lady looking at me...call her Nada. The day is young... read more

With the COVID virus concerns and protocols, I ordered a Cobb salad from this location. When I got it home, there was little to no salad dressing included. Interestingly enough, there were two containers of dressing included with the order. Both were less than half full. This was a dry salad! I learned my lesson. I will check from here on. read more

Can never go wrong with Panera! I got the Fuji apple salad on my most recent visit and it was delicious! Loved the flavor. I do wish their salads were a bit cheaper though (it was 10+ dollar for whole size) read more

This is our neighborhood Panera! We usually have a lot of modifications to our order (no cheese, no onions, etc) and they get it right 75% of the time! Ha! But when they get it wrong, they take care of you the next visit. There is a little patio area for outside dining! And there's plenty of seating inside! We like it! read more

Following my last bad experience with Panera, I made a complaint through their website. They responded that they would certainly pass the feedback into the restaurant. I guess that may have done the trick, as the last two times I've gone the orders I've placed have come out exactly as I ordered it. No issues at all. Fingers crossed that this continues... read more

The actual rating is more like a 2.5 star rating. Honestly I am not a huge fan of the Panera Bread chains. The reason being that Panera Bread is known for their sandwiches but for the life of me I can't understand why when I purchase their different kinds of sandwiches why the bread on the sandwich is as hard as a rock. When I bite into the sandwich feels as if I'm biting a brick. However on this particular day my wife and I made a last minute decision to come here instead of Tropical Smoothie which is right next door. When we entered we both told each other that we weren't extremely hungry and didn't want anything heavy, so we both ended up ordering two Grilled Chicken Cesar Salads with two mango smoothies. The smoothies weren't bad but seemed a little watered down. Then again it could have been the way the guy made them. However I can say that they have absolutely nothing on Tropical Smoothie. Now as for the Grilled Chicken Cesar Salad it wasn't bad but there were a few problems in regards to the salad that I had, one being that the croutons were hard which I'm not a fan of so if I ever go back again for a salad I'm going to tell them to hold the croutons. The other problem was that I thought they were a tad bit stingy with the Cesar dressing. I mean I don't want my salad over saturated with it but I don't want to eat dry salad either. The final problem I had was the bread that they served with the salad, once again this thing was hard like a brick I had to just eat the inside of it otherwise it would have probably chipped my tooth. The reason I did give this place an overall rating of 3 stars is because the atmosphere is very peaceful. I mean if you wanted to come in and read a book or do some work then this Panera might be right up your alley. Now if you ask me do I see myself coming back again the answer is yes however only if I'm with someone or a group that absolutely wants to go. However coming back by myself is probably not likely. read more

Soups, sandwiches and salads oh my! Bagels, pastries, coffee, and more! Panera is the perfect spot for a quick meal. I enjoy many of their soups, but my favorite item is the Thai Chicken Salad. It is perfection every time! There is a free wi-fi but only a 30 minute limit during busy lunchtime hours. There is outdoor seating as well for those nice summer days! Also, there is a cozy fireplace to sit next to...but keep in mind that is my spot. ;) They do put a few toys out in a corner, which my kids love. Anytime I mention Panera their first reaction is "the one with the toys?" Service at this location is great. read more

This location is subpar. The food looks sloppy and not well prepared (sandwiches look like preschoolers made them). They offer curbside pickup, but NEVER come out so you'll have to park and go inside. Hand washing is a low priority- multiple times I've witnessed the manager handle the register and then proceed to the kitchen to handle food without stopping to wash his hands. They will replace bread without informing you and I have allergies so by the time I get home and see that I don't have the bread that comes with the sandwich, I'm not going back so the sandwich goes into the trash. Honestly, I prefer to drive pass this location even though it's 2 mins from my house and drive to the Panera bread at Potomac Run. I hope it gets better because it's very convenient for me and I love Panera Bread- I just want quality and consistency. read more

How hard is it not to screw up an order??????????? Better yet how hard is it to remember to cook the f,n food?

This location stinks. Is it under new management?? The past few times I've stopped by in the morning and evening, they're out of whatever I order. You should be able to stop by at dinner time (6:30pm) and get any meal on their menu. Not the case. I could understand if it was later in the evening but not during regular dinner hours. Ended up having to go to another location where they did have the menu items in stock. read more

Stand there for 10 minutes waiting for breakfast food at 10:30 in the morning and they told me they have no more breakfast food by the time I get up to the counter. So they sell all the breakfast stuff right out in front of me. When I ask about customer service and the customer being right I am told sorry about that. This place sucks and management should rethink customer service! Writing their Corp offices. read more

I rarely write any reviews and almost never give a five star review because to me that means perfection. However, in the case of our local Panera Bread and its manager, John, it is as close to perfection as you can get. If there are ever any problems all of the staff from the managers on down are quick to correct. Everyone is helpful and courteous. The food is decent and prepared hot and fresh, just what you would hope for. Other local Panera Bread locations are good but this one is clearly the best, breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

Been working crazy hours and school was doing a fundraiser through Panera So why not? Easy night? Not! We placed pur order just about 5.30 for delivery We live across STREET After an hour I started calling, and getting hung up on. The track order let us know when dinner went out for delivery. It took a nice tour to eventually go to my neighbors on the other side of our circle 20 minutes later. I missed my scheduled phone call that evening, the hot sandwiches were cold and gross, and absolutely nothing good came out of this experience. I've dined in twice, each to disappointing results. Never again! Fundraisers or no fundraisers. read more
