Yesterday was my first experience at a Panera Bread but because the food was great, the service was good, and I enjoyed the environment I decided to go back today. Like yesterday the food and service were wonderful. However, they don't get that 5th star because while I enjoy the freedom to speak with friends as we dine, I also feel that there needs to be perimeters set so that all patrons enjoy their time there. Children were running back and forth practically yelling. Adults were talking with their voices raised. I just could not take it. Especially considering the fact that I was trying to do homework or work in general, as was many other people. Panera, do me a favor and add a courtesy clause. Put a sign up at the window, something! I felt like I was at the zoo! read more

Panera Bread - Half Sierra Turkey Sandwich with a bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Delicious btw!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is my favorite place for free wi-fi in the Tucker, Northlake area. The food is good, but it's not really why i come here. I love that you refill your own coffee, you can use the same cup for sodas, which you can refill yourself also. It's also fun cause when you start visiting regularly, you notice the same people. Like there's the mad scientist type guy, with balding grey hair and glasses. Then there's the middle-aged asian guy who's got a cool tablet laptop that he's working on. makes you wonder what kind of jobs these people have.... read more

This Panera has all the gastronomic appeal of a truck stop. I've been to lots of Panera stores and this is the worst. It's been this way for years, too, so I only go when I have to. Today: I could see on the computer screen the clock on my order. By the time I got it, it was at 7+ minutes, which judging by the red background behind the timer, was longer than the corporate standard. Had to ask for a lid for my coffee, which seems to be their process. Wasn't available by the actual coffee. Dirty tables. Dirty carpet. Dirty bathrooms. The girl making the coffee dropped and broke one of the large pots. It created a snowball effect that caused lots of other things to go flying off the counter in the cooking area. Person who appeared to be the manager seemed overwhelmed and unfazed by the chaos. Just go somewhere else. read more

The service at this location is sub par at best. The value you get for what you pay is ridiculous. I need to remember that next time before I go. Got about 1/2 bowl of soup (paid for a bowl) and side of bread and a drink with .99 cent cookie for $9.58! Ridiculous for poor service and lacking portions! read more

Panera Bread - Chicken Noodle Soup....am I crazy or is that really a full bowl of soup? - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My husband ordered a breakfast wrap. When he bite into it, he noticed something chewy. Paper (assuming from the cheese) was still inside. My breakfast sandwich was cold with very little chicken/avocado and too much wrap. Bathrooms are dirty. This was our second try this summer. Don't think we will be coming back read more

I frequent this location, I mainly order through the app & my items are usually ready in the pick up area read more

I am always favorably disposed toward Panera franchises. Their food is consistently edible (I'd go so far to say 'delicious', but I realize I have uncultured taste) and reasonably priced. Their restaurants are cozily furnished and the atmosphere predictably chill. Panera does its thing and it generally does it well. But lordy, lordy, you've got to check out the size of the Panera. It is the most spacious one I have ever seen. Okay, there might not be as many electrical outlets as one might like (especially in the booth area), but if one comes prepared, one can camp out for a long time and get some serious schoolin' or werkin' done, which is what I and many other folks were doing. Or Bible studyin' or SAHM meetin', you know, whatever. It's the suburbs. It sounds crazy to recommend going almost OTP for a coffee shop if one lives in Decatur, as I do, but this place really is that great. This location also has great opening hours: 6 am on weekdays, 6:30 am on Saturdays, 7 am on Sundays. This came in handy for me once during a long Saturday morning marathon training run when I needed to go to the bathroom super bad. There aren't any gas stations or even bushes near this stretch of Henderson Mill, Briarcliff, and Lavista, and the Panera looked pretty dark, but it was my only hope. Thankfully it was open and the workers didn't even seem to mind that I looked like a hot mess and wasn't actually purchasing anything. read more

Love Panera Bread! I always do the 1/2 soup with either 1/2 salad or 1/2 sandwich. What to try? Everything! This particular location has a huge private lot. Dining area inside is super spacious. No problem finding a seat. The service was swift and friendly. I got my order in less than 10mins on a weekday during lunch. If that says anything. read more

Please listen to the reviews. I ignored them and still came here and received a COLD chicken sandwich while eating my food they were vacuuming so the place was making me sneeze. Terrible experience never eating at ANY Panera bread. read more

They said my order was ready at 1130 I made the order for bagels at 9am. They are supposed to set them aside. When I went to get my bagels. They did not have ot complete and told me they were out of bagels. This location has a new manager. The drinks were rotten as in spoiled and tasting like vinegar. The online portal says they have bagels. They say they don't. Puka read more

Horrible service. Incompetent. Wait forever for your food. Don't go. Worst Panera experience that I've ever had. Had to wait 30+ minutes for food. read more

I have tried several times over and over and over to give this location a fair chance - even when fully staffed they are Super Slow and you can hear employees complain as you're standing there patiently and not Bothering or rushing them to make food. Over 30 - 40 minutes for an order everyday single day. They also on most days put bags of food on the counter and don't call out the names so everyone has to walk up and touch the bags to see if it theirs or not. If you're in crunch for time or super hungry don't even bother. And yes even if all you order is a simple cup of soup the wait is long. read more

The two stars are for the very kind staff, but I'm very disappointed in the luke warm soup and lack of chicken salad on my sandwich I received. Very sad! read more

Panera Bread - Chicken Salad Sandwich and Wild Chicken and Rice Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Panera Bread became one of my favorite places to grab lunch with my mother. I first tried Panera back in 2016 one weekend, during a day of shopping with my mom. The atmosphere was quiet and ideal for business meetings and college students looking to study. I had the Italian sandwich and tomato soup. That was my first time trying tomato soup and theirs tasted amazing! It was thick and creamy and a good as amount of sweetness and acidity. It's been awhile since I've been to Panera, due to Covid, but I'd love to come back again. read more

I ordered at 6:45pm on Saturday for Rapid Pick-Up. I was never asked what time I wanted to pick up but Rapid Pick-up is indicated to be in 10 minutes. I did not realize they closed at 7pm rather than 8pm as they do Monday-Friday. I checked out and paid at 6:53. It then told me my order will be ready at 7:20 am tomorrow. What? I wanted dinner, not tomorrow's breakfast. I immediately began calling the store to cancel but no one would pick up the phone. The next day, after sleeping later, I got up and headed to the store. There it was, my order in the Rapid Pick-up shelf. So, I had Smokehouse BBQ sandwich's for breakfast after re-warming them. great service Panera. read more

Let me start... I love Panera but I HATE THIS LOCATION IN TUCKER. It always looks dirty in there. Service (meaning the food) is always subpar to even awful compared to the Druid Hills and N. Druid Hills location. Wi-fi is spotty and inconsistent. There is always some type of (food) shortage or order error when I visit. The carpets appear to be rarely swept or vacuumed. I only stop by when I have to be in that area and I loathe the experience nearly every visit. read more

Great sweet tea, good food, and a huge dining room with lots of seating and free wireless Internet access. I like Panera's food and I am slightly cautious after getting food poisoning at their Buckhead location a few years ago. My tried and true Smoked Turkey Breast is always good, but it always seems to take a long time to have my order taken and then to receive my food. Seriously, it's a little hard for me to understand why it takes 15 minutes to get a turkey sandwich, but I digress. :) read more

Ordered an iced coffee and breakfast sandwich. Received the rudest response when asked what the status of my sandwich was after waiting 15 minutes. The attendee at the counter where food is prepped rolled her eyes at me when I asked. Her verbal response to me was, "I made that a long time ago. I'm sick of this." My name wasn't called, they weren't busy so they didn't check receipts, and they were rude when it look two seconds to make the sandwich. Panera- you need to have better employees with better customer service. To the ones running the cashier hanging out with their friends as customers wait to the ones who prep the food. Disappointed in the service and in the experience. Recommendation - Not worth it. read more

I will always remember this location as the dirty Panera Bread. Not trying to be mean but several vacant tables were dirty, I had to clean my own. And so was the bathroom! This appears to be an older location but I was very surprised at Panera. Maybe they got slammed at lunch time perhaps (even though it was now 6pm). I've never seen my Vinings location that I live near look like this nor any other. However, I can say that I was greeted right away after walking in and the gentleman was nice, so that's a plus! And my food was fresh. This Panera is long in shape so there is more seating towards the back if you want to sit further back. Three stars for the customer service and fresh food! read more

I frequent this Panera quite a bit. I've had great experiences every time but on one Rapid-Order pick-up, they missed an entire cup of soup, and avocado on my veggie sandwich. My husband noticed the missing soup and alerted the staff. However, we only realized there was no avocado when we got home. That's super annoying because avocado is an extra +$1 surcharge. On my next visit (the next day.....it's been a tough few weeks, so little to no cooking), I brought the receipt and let them know about the avocado mishap. They offered to add avocado to my sandwich that day. I let them know that I wasn't ordering a sandwich (ordered their vegan broth bowl) so they went ahead and gave me a free pastry (which I gave to my husband because I hate pastries). Not bad. read more

I got here on a couple of occasions during the school year because it's just a little variety for lunches outside the norm of buford highway. What I like about this place is how accepting they are of me when I choose to make this a study spot on a wednesday or thursday evening. I'll literally be posted in one of the back tables for couple hours with a drink and occasional food to much on and they don't give me a hard time about it. Free wi-fi is here if you need it. But it's what you would expect it to be like. They have a new seasonal menu now which I do love. The clam chowder is now on the menu as a specialty soups and their new roasted turkey and cranberry panini is pretty awesome. My new favorite soup and sandwich combo there, but it does get pricy. That comes to about $10 give or take a few so if you're looking for a regular lunch spot, it can get a bit expensive. But it is what it is. read more

I had the seasonal corn chowder... not bad. And the French onion soup (not pictured) but it was good. I don't go here often but I was under the weather and this did the trick. Cashier Melanie was VERY pleasant! read more

Depressing area, depressed service, spaced out server, and the pastry I ordered was sadly stale. I can't believe this is really a Panera. Sad. I don't know if it's always like this or just a one-time occurrence, but I don't want to return read more

I love a good caramel coffee and theirs are pretty good frozen or hot. Also their Turkey bacon bravo is delicious. Only thing I don't really care for is how you pick up your food and coffee from different sections of the counter, makes things kind of confusing on busy days. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I went to grad school in St. Louis, home of Panera, also known as St. Louis Bread Co. I have high expectations of Panera after many, many visits to their different locations across the country. When you go into Panera, you go in with certain expectations; a high cleanliness of the establishment, excellent customer service, and delicious food served quickly. This Panera location is the worst I've been to, ever. I've gone several times as this location is closest to my home, however; every single time I've gone there's a crazy long wait during off peak hours (e.g., Thursday at 8pm, one cashier, 12 people in line), the place looks like a disaster with trash everywhere, tables not wiped down, the bakery section looks like it has been ransacked by an angry mob, and service is painfully slow. Met a friend for a late dinner on a weeknight at 8pm. We were number 11 and 12 in line, respectively. One line opened, several employees milling about with no care. I ordered a Sierra Turkey and soup and my food came within five minutes. My friend ordered a Sierra Turkey and chips and it didn't come for fifteen minutes!! Fifteen minutes at Panera for a cold sandwich? Come when you're long on patience and time. read more

I've been to many Panera locations in several different states, but these have to be the nicest and friendliest Panera employees I've ever encountered. They forgot the bacon on a sandwich, but they were very apologetic about it. That goes a long way with me. I rated this place a 4 because the bathroom needs some repairs. read more

I do enjoy this franchise for the most part. This location was super busy when we went. There were a few people who where staked out using the Wi-Fi which I think is incredibly rude when there isn't anyplace else to sit. Go finish your indie movie script at Starbucks like everyone else who won't pay for the internet at their house. The sandwiches we ate were typical fare from panera. Tasty but nothing over the top. I love their bread so much that I often get a loaf to go. I will come back. read more

Every time I go in here I get the feeling that the employees absolutely hate their lives. I couldn't get one smile from anyone who worked there. My boyfriend ordered a turkey sandwich, he got two pieces of bread a piece of lettuce and a slab of turkey. It looked like something my 2nd grade nephew would get from the school cafeteria. Not impressed. This Panera is in serious need of a new GM. read more

This is definitely a busy place on a Thursday afternoon. But my husband and I managed to snag a table close to an outlet for our study date. I ordered the toaster turkey with caramelized kale panini with strawberry chicken garden salad with poppy seed dressing and an apple on the side. For the price, I would have like to have had more meat and kale on the sandwich but what it lacked in size, it made up for in taste. It was absolutely the best sandwich I've had at Panera. The salad was great and refreshing with apples, mandarin oranges, and pecans. The best part was that it was not over dressed. There was just enough dressing to give it flavor. The staff are all very polite and welcoming. Would have given 5 stars if I had more meat on my sandwich and had not received a damaged apple. read more

Another bad experience close to closing time on a to go order. Chicken sandwhich quite pricey bought 2 to go. My gf and I were hungry we decided to eat in the car while it was still hot. The bread and tasty sauce was there, but the chicken was a no show. Thats right NO MEAT a few tiny pieces sprinkled here and there. DISAPPOINTED that a chain resturant would do something like this. EPIDEMIC failures in the Resturant industry have now reached an ALL TIME HIGH. read more

Came to the local Panera to get a hot tea and surf the internet just to get out of the house and be around more people that wanted to get out of the house as well. They give you a 16 oz cup and you make the tea yourself. They had a selection of tea bags on the table where they keep the coffee, creamer, sugar and other hot drink fixins. The cost was only $1.69. There was also a large selection of good looking pastries at the counter but I didn't let my temptation overcome me. In the past I've had the cinnamon crunch bagel and those things can be a little addictive. They also have a good chicken salad sandwich not the best that I've had but pretty good. As far as internet surfing goes, it's very good! Lots of seating and if you get lucky you may get a table next to an electrical outlet if you need to charge your laptop, pad, or phone because they have a few but not many spread out around the store. This may not be a good place to study because sometimes there are large groups of people gathered at the big tables having meetings or get togethers, and they can get noisy sometimes. When I was there an employee was listening to a TV show on her phone very loudly while on her break, plus the employees were louder than the customers. But if you need a good signal with lots of room, this is a good place for that. read more

This location is not on par with other Paneras. First of all, when you walk in they have only the first register open. The main menu is on the other side behind the second register, which is always closed, and you have to walk away just to read it. The cooking staff always seems confused. I've heard people complain about wrong orders and a roach in the bathroom. read more

This Panera bread is right up the street from my house service is usually great quick and efficient knight I ran in few minutes before closing nobody was a the counter and of course they were closing the manager instructed a young lady to take my order . She rolled her eyes huffed and puffed and came to the cash register with the nastiest Attitude u still smiled at her I gave her my order in return she asked for my name I told her she didn't need it . Which irritated her even more but why ask my name after all of the attitude u just have to take one last order as I walk to the back to retrieve my order she's also walking to the back and says "I just asked her her fucking name" luckily she wasn't handling my food but it really turned me off I get it it's late u want to go home and it's the end of your shift but terrible customer service in her behalf she probably should not interact with any customers and wash dishes in the back ! Strong recommendation !! read more
