Broccoli Mac and cheese but looks and tastes like cheese soup
Christie S.

Shout out to Yelp reviewer who recommended the chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich- it's a winner in my opinion. Not a huge fan of broccoli Mac and cheese which has consistency of soup. Chicken noodle soup ok. I like the chicken tikka masala soup.

It's been awhile since I've had Panera but man did I miss this place! They're extremely Covid-19 considerate and staff are still wearing masks with glass shields for ordering. There's hand sanitary stations and optional self-serve stations for those who are fully vaccinated (like for plastic utensils, coffee supplies, etc). To be honest, if you're still concerned about being around people, I would not recommend going here solely because it can get super crowded during the lunch hours of 11 am - 2 pm. Even more so on the weekends all day. On their menu, I'm still a big fan of most of their smoothies. Anything strawberry is really my go to but be careful because the calories do add up. I tend to also choose the pick-two for my favorite turkey bacon bravo sandwich (ask for a pickle on the side) and their updated version of the chipotle southwest salad. You get an option of a side for an apple, baguette or chips and I usually go with the ladder!

My wife drags me here all the time to fulfill her obsession with coffee & Diet Pepsi , She's a yearly Sip-Cup member. I don't mind at all. Today after 3 yrs was my first time ordering food. Sausage & Cheese with Added lettuce & bacon 10/10 Best sandwich, Fresh ingredients. Staff is always polite, we enjoy this location very much

Made a mobile order on late Sunday morning. Went inside the store after 10 minutes as the app said ready for pickup, but the order was not on the Rapid Pickup shelves. Checked again after 5 more minutes, the pecan bread was there but the cup for hot teas was not. Had to wait to talk to staff for one. Yes, it was very busy and more than half of indoor tables were occupied. They do have a few outdoor tables, but none were taken. The pecan bread and the self serve hot tea were all normal as usual.

Good mix and match meal for my lunch.

First time here, Penera Bread at Aspen Hill, MD, everything was fine. I ordered online ahead for dine-in, they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, and they made it. Then the food all were prepared correctly and fresh. I got Bristo French Onion Soup with Chipotle Chicken Avocado Meal and Broccoli Cheddar Soup with Toasted Steak & White Cheddar, they were tasty and enough portion for two people. This branch restaurant was comfortable and huge. Good for taking a break and relax time.

Absolutely Disgusting I don't know what's going on in their kitchen but is the second time we find insects in our food so Im definitely reporting this to the MD Department of Health so an inspection can come

Barely ripe tomatoes that came with the Chicken Cobb salad. Yuck!

11/14/2020 Safety procedures are NOT followed at this location! Rapid orders for coffee mean THE CUSTOMER fixes his/her coffee like BEFORE COVID!!! Sugar, Cream, and everything else over there is handled by ALL! How is that safe? Note: I was told for curbside; they fix the coffee and for RAPID? pickup you do it yourself! If you want to stay safe from COVID avoid ordering coffee at this location! ALL STAFF and CUSTOMERS touch the coffee area! It is not good customer service for two people to order a Pick Two and one person get soup in a large salad bowl and the other person get a smaller bowl! I thought this discrepancy only happens when you order soup to go. (You get about half of the portion you would get if you ate inside the restaurant.) And it's not about "running out" of the bowls because it's lunchtime on a Saturday. I might contact the corporate office like I did after a horrible experience at the Wheaton location

I have gone to this Panera Bread for about 15 years (8th grade inauguration ). It's always good in a pinch, and my baby sister even worked here for a spell before college. Service is pretty basic, not bad but not amazing. I find the employees to be a bit unenthusiastic. However, some of the customers in here have been super obnoxious about their bagels and salads ‍. It's always pretty busy, and I think it's fine in a hurry or for a quick bite. I much prefer the one on Tech Road. Note to management: sometimes, it doesn't feel very clean in here. Try keeping tables cleared and your areas more well-attended to.

Had to attend a meeting at Panera Bread tonight. from their "You Pick Two" selection, I went with Broccoli Cheddar Soup and half a BBQ Chicken Flatbread. It was delicious to the max! Their specialty fountain drinks seemed to me to be umm Ninety-Percent water. I tried these four - Blood Orange Lemonade, Prickly Pear Hibiscus Fresca, Agave Lemonade and one other (I forgot the fancy name for it). I settled for the tried and true Hi-C Fruit Punch and it was just as I remembered from my childhood; sweet and well...sweet. The meeting went well and I left quite satisfied - refill drink in hand.

Delicious meals. My favorite are the salads, soups and broccoli mac and cheese along with the bagels and muffins.

Great little food counter inside Mom's organic Market that sells salads, bowls, juices and baked…read moregoods. They have many vegan and vegetarian options, everything is organic and healthy. Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Im sorry but the service and portion sizes have gone way down at this location. I've been coming to…read morethis place since it first opened over a decade ago. Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,

Tonight we tried their dinner menu and we had 4 different sandwiches. We had the meatball sub, chicken parmesan, caparese and the southern chicken sandwich. All of it was delicious. We also took home a chocolate and strawberry milkshake which was to die for. When we are here we are always well taken care of. This place is truly special and amazing. Their seating is comfortable and welcoming too.

Unfortunately, when I received my food and took a bite, a hot, completely runny egg came oozing out of the sandwich and all over me, completely ruining my shirt and pants. I was understandably upset. What made the situation even worse was that multiple waitresses watched it happen and continued working without offering me a napkin, towel, or anything to help clean myself up. I was literally standing there with egg yolk running down my shirt and pants because my order was prepared incorrectly. Eventually, my husband and I had to flag someone down--we weren't even sure if he was a server or the manager. He came over and said he would comp the meal. I explained that we were there for a soccer tournament and that I would now have to go out and purchase an entirely new outfit for the rest of the day because of their mistake. We then sat there for 20 minutes, watching employees walk past us repeatedly without checking on us. I finally went to the register and expressed how upset I was. The gentleman there said he would charge us for my husband's and son's meals and comp mine. Of course, my meal was being comped--it was sent back because it was prepared incorrectly in the first place. We then waited another 20 minutes without a bill. Again, employees continued walking past us and completely ignored us. This restaurant is tiny--practically the size of a closet--so I honestly don't understand how we could be overlooked for that long. At that point, I told my husband, "Let's just get up and leave. I guarantee THAT will get someone's attention." Sure enough, the second we walked out the door, the big guy came running after us, yelling at my husband and me. I explained how long we had been sitting there, how rude and dismissive the service was, and how much of our time had been wasted. Apparently, walking out the door was the only way to finally get someone's attention. Mistakes happen. Eggs can be cooked incorrectly. What matters is how you treat your customers when something goes wrong. In this case, the customer service was absolutely unacceptable from start to finish. We are in town for a soccer tournament and had better things to do than spend nearly an hour sitting around being ignored after having our clothing ruined by an improperly prepared meal. Spare yourself the trip. The customer service here was HORRIBLE. BTW my outfit cost more than a comped meal!!!! And a hour of wasted time waiting for our bill!!! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE ZERO STARS if that were an option.

Consistent. Great Music. Great Food. Great Customer Service.Distinctive Cocktails…read more The Lamb Bolognese is the best pasta dish that I've had this year at a restaurant and it's only $16 at lunch time. House-made noodles and topped with Sourdough garlic toast. Two lunch entrees and a cocktail ran me $52 dinero! I took the seafood gumbo to go for lunch the next day. It was pretty good; although I don't care for mussels in my gumbo (It's a me problem) I had this blueberry spritzer that was semi-sweet and very potent. The next thing I want to try for the Fall weather is The Spiced Pear Sour cocktail. And I learned about an amazing Brazilian artist by the name of Marcia Maria. The song "Colo de Rio" started to play, and I was enjoying every single thing about my visit. This is one of my favorite places hands down and I should come here more often!
