I order from here for lunch about twice a month. My delivery driver is awesome! She is fast and pleasant. However, every time I order a sandwich from here the edges around where it's cut are super sickly sweet with all of the residues from the other pastries they are cutting...this is kinda gross as I order savory sandwiches and not pastries. Can't they clean their knife when they make sandwiches? Which begs the question: are they ever cleaning their knives? I might order from here out of desperation in the future but next time I'm going to request a clean knife be used to cut my Sammie...this has happened too many times! Hurumph!!! read more

INCREDIBLE management!! I came through the drive-thru on my lunch break and Abby and her team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure that I was well taken care of. I already love Panera because of their delicious food and Abby and her team gave me another reason to love it even more. Thanks ladies!!! read more

It's Panera bread been to one you have been to them all. It's fancy fast food. I like the drive through here it's convenient for breakfast for me. Nothing to write home about though it's a Panera bread read more

Went for 2 bagels and a souffle. Once home, realized the souffle was missed (our fault not double checking). Drive all the way back, get the souffle we paid for and drive back home. Once home and we start eating & my husbands bagels STILL HAD THE CHEESE PAPER ON IT. Posted the picture to this page. Will not be returning. read more

Panera Bread - First half our order was missed, and then the CHEESE PAPER was still on the cheese. Will not be returning customers. - Sandwiches Near Me - Auburn, Washington

If you need your food done within an hour, don't go here. Employees took forever. Food wasn't great. Second bad experience. Don't go here

Ordered sandwiches to go. Got home. Half the order was missing. Drove back, was offered a free treat. I don't actually want a free treat, but I would like it if you took steps to improve your service. read more

The staff is nice here and the food is usually pretty good. Sometimes things don't seem as fresh as they are at other times ,but what can you do? The most recent time I ordered an apple trying to be all healthy and what not with my soup and it had holes all over it. If I'm paying $6.48 for soup and order an apple, my apple better look good. So, yeah they could have done better with that. read more

Panera Bread - The soup was good but they gave me this apple. - Sandwiches Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Omg! Slowest drive thru on the entire planet!! I was the only car in the drive thru and still sat 16 minutes for a bowl of soup and a half grilled cheese!! Order was wrong, gave me a cup instead of bowl. No spoon or napkins, no croutons for soup. Every time I come here my half grilled cheese is a different size and progressively getting smaller! This time it was the size of a finger sandwich! They really need to step up their drive thru game because it sucks! It's the last time I pay 13 bucks for half of a half grilled cheese and bowl/cup tomato soup! Buh byeee! read more

Quick, Easy, and Efficient. Panera is a great place to grab lunch with friends and chat or meet professionally. Environment is very cozy even though it's small and tables are close together. They open early so if you use the mobile order app you can stop and grab breakfast quickly. This location is very modern. A lot of self serve stations and the mobile app is awesome. If you are not techy you may be a little disappointed. There is space for dining in however I couldn't even find the pastry bar or service counter initially coming in so they are definitely computer driven. Food is delicious as Panera has proven. My order is always ready and accurate. I haven't had much interaction with the staff to comment on service. But based on food taste and efficiency they get 4 stars. read more

Ordered a bbq chicken flat bread. Some of the chicken was raw. Like literally still pink. read more

Excellent service from Juanita. Super clean and updated. The food tastes great and came quickly.

I love doing a Pick 2. They always have great salads and sandwiches. Each Pick 2 comes with a side: bread, apple or chips. Make sure to bus your own table. They are usually pretty busy, but is a great place to meet with vendors or other professionals. read more

See all

The worst location ever... I love Panera bread and it's one of my favorites but this location is horrible. I used to come here all the time but the last year things really went downhill. No matter what time you go they will always be out of something (avocado, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, soups, etc). They will mess up your order or substitute it with something else without telling you. The drive thru is so slow, my grandma could make food faster.. My husband went to the drive thru this morning for a soufflé and they didn't have the bacon and spinach one available so he asked for a sausage breakfast sandwich (also didn't have). He ended up getting two bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches and guess what they used for bacon?!? BACON BITS! What terrible person does this without saying anything? He also got two coffees and I know they are not Starbucks but he couldn't even drink his and mine was half full! Did you run out of coffee too?? We are done going to this location. Better off without it. read more

I know that Panera has had some issues with their cream cheese possibly having Listeria, so it has been recalled. That was in January, wasn't it? It's April now... Today they charged me full Panera cream cheese price for a dinky, 1 ounce Philadelphia cream cheese... Nope, not cool. I've been to a couple Paneras in different states over the past few months and they give two or three of a different brand because the Panera brand isn't back. Come on Panera... read more

Gr8t place, food, people, atmosphere. Easy for me to maneuver in my electric wheelchair. Their chocolate chip bagels are to die for. Not too sweet. Their just perfect. Can't wait to go here again. Unfortunately next time I go I gotta pay for my bagels. Back in December they were free. But it's all good. Luv promotions like that. Panera bread always has gr8t food. read more

the food is good but they put way too much bread and i did not get what i paid for. i ordered the soup with bread bowl and i got a hunk of bread with less that half soup. read more

My family is a regular at Panera all over the place. We eat same food every Panera we go and this place is also great. Open dining space, friendly staff. Clean no smelly interior you would expect from any P. Having said that my best Panera experience was when a Panera put out bigger portion salad for dinner and not being cheap when asked for a second piece of baguette. Anyhow this place is on par and I would come back here definitely and r commend my friends/family also. read more

All tables dirty, soup barely warm and nasty hair in my salad. When I told the manager he offered me a free pastry - what? I usually like Panera so I was really disappointed. read more

This is the worst panera I've ever been to. I've given them multiple chances and every time is gets worse. I waited 5 minutes at the front before anyone even came to help me order. Also, I ordered one of their 5.00 smoothies and they shorted me about half an inch. Go to the one in federal way instead read more

This is the third time I've been to location a little after dinner time and they have been out of bread bowls. Panera BREAD needs to get their game together and bake enough BREAD to meet customer demand for the duration of their opening hours. read more

I don't even want to give them one star. Me and my wife waited for over 10minutes in line after their (self order kiosk) did not work... not only that but when we FINALLY ordered it took OVER 15minutes to get our food but the order wasn't even correct! My wife asked the server named "C" about it showed proof of the receipt and "C" decided that she wanted to argue with my wife over the order saying they got it right. Not coming back here again. One in Maple Valley is A LOT better! read more

Stopped by to pick up some treats on our way out of town. Deniece the lady behind the counter was amazing. She helped me with my order and was so courteous! She got everything sliced and bagged quickly and brought everything out to me! It was an amazing experience and I so appreciate that she went above and beyond! Have been enjoying the breads we ordered and everything is delicious. The whole grain loaf is amazing! read more

What an awful experience! Slow service-one register open at busy time. RUDE MANAGEMENT-John ran me down twice in the aisle. Our order was delivered incorrectly twice. We will not under any circumstances be back. Would have given a zero rating if I could have. read more

Really nice location. Clean and modern with iPads for you to order all on your own. Food was exactly what you'd expect from this national chain. read more

-First time at Panera- Walking in I seen the menu right away, I also used menu on tablets as there are pictures of the food which like btw My husband and I just ordered sandwiches with fruit cups. I wasnt impressed with the bread..which I seen coming because i only really like Hawaiian bread anyways.. I got a chicken bacon avocado I added onion but didnt recieve(not a big deal) The mossorella was fresh &tomatoes were fresh! The fruit cup was actually really fresh ...I havent had sweet good fruit like that for awhile. My drink was the hibiscus pear tea..wasnt a fan so I'll try a different one next time. The drink station deffinetly needs some adjustment.. lids were hard to get out of dispenser. My husbands lid didnt fit on drink tight and was just sitting over top.. took about 2 mins to get drinks when it should take 30 sec. There was a line building up behind us as it took really long. Staff was professional and provided good service Wasnt busy,super chill.. prices were alittle high 2 Sammy's with the side of fruit and a drink. The freshness and cleanliness with good staff is worth the price imo Deff a place were everyone can go Temp was perfect inside and it smelled good..lighting was nice I'll be back to try soup! read more

Good Panera Bread. Had the Cobb salad with chicken which was a solid Cobb for a fair price. Friendly staff and nice big open windows to gaze out upon while munching down some blue cheese leafs of goodness. read more

This is my first and last visit to a Panera Bread! Panera Bread will have their general manager, Alicia McDorman, for the loss of this customer! I will have to give this Auburn Panera Bread a Big Fat Zero! I haven't had such a bad experience in a restaurant! I had a bad vibe when I walked into the Auburn Panera Bread for a relaxing bite to eat with my family 5/8/17 @ 3:52PM! It wasn't busy. Only about 4 customers at the time sitting and eating! There was nobody in site at the front but I could hear giggling and laughing in the back! After we read the entire menu twice, Leslee came out and asked if she could help us. She was able to answer all of our questions satisfactorily. Two thumbs up to her! She deserves a raise or promotion for her professional attitude! We sat and waited a bit longer than we should have seeing it was just sandwiches and salad. When it arrived at our table I asked the waiter who delivered our meal for some butter. He replied, OK, I'll be right back. We finished our sandwiches and still no butter! I called into the back, told them which table we were at, & that we were still waiting on our butter! I heard giggling and laughing behind the wall of our table. Then the gal that brought out the butter was laughing. A minute later we noticed what appeared to be a supervisor coming through with a smirk on her face making it look like she was wiping tables! Problem was she wasn't wiping the completely wiping only spot wiping and she kept looking up at us as she moved closer! When she got to the table next to ours she asked how our meal was. I told her it's better now that they finally got the butter to us after our meal was almost done! I said I had to call into the back to get our butter. She replied, "Oh yea, we were laughing about that!" We got into the discussion of he quality of the meal, cold French bread, dry sandwiches! She explains how their bread was baked at night with non-bleached flour! Then out of the nowhere she starts insulting us with ethnicity harassing statement by saying "Those Crazy Germans" & lack of empathy by saying, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your meal there's nothing I can do"! For a person with 30 years of food service background she has seriously failed in Customer Service Department! So much for the Panera Bread tag line, "Food as it should be" I would recommend anyone who thinks of eating here, think twice! I wish I would have looked at the reviews prior to eating here! Many familiarities of problems! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Auburn, Washington

I love Panera but this location really under delivers. Came in around 10am on what looked to be a slow and quiet day, and when we went to order we noticed that the the breakfast menu was not up and we had to ask for the breakfast menu to be put up (the staff seemed to have no idea that the wrong menu was even up). If I'm not mistaken, the restaurant had already been open for several hours at this point. Next, our food order was wrong - I asked for a sausage breakfast sandwich and got ham, my husband asked for whole milk in his caffe latte and after sitting down noticed that the receipt read "half and half". The person taking our order was either having an off day or is really incompetent in their role. Hoping for better luck next time! read more

This is the worst Panera I've ever been to. I just stopped in to get a croissant and the people in there are just disregarding and rude. They handed me my croissant ingest a small paper bag I asked for a brown paper bag to put it in so I can carry it into work and they acted like I was asking for their arm. On other occasions I've stopped and they messed up my order or not had items ready to go. At least three times it's just been rudeness from the staff there. I'm not surprised that they have so few stars and they reviews are what they are. I won't stop here ever again read more

I've been to this Panera many, many times and I've been pretty happy with the friendliness of the employees, helpfulness, etc. The food has been really good, too. read more

I usually love Panera, but this location in particular is consistent with getting my order wrong. Alongside this, the guest service in drive thru is lackluster. I have given it a few tries but it remains the same. Who knows, could just be me. Hope it improves :,( read more

Bought peach/blueberry smoothies and they tasted good. The indoor eating area was clean and light. The server, was a very nice, sincere fellow. The cashier Crystal, was a happy woman, and that made my day less stressful after driving for 2 hours. They have electronic table finders. read more

Really good service, food was delicious and they gave us extra cookies, highly recommend coming here

Not only did I wait 10+ minutes in the drive thru line and another 5+ minutes at the window (no one even greeted me, so I just left), I watched them set my bagel on the filthy counter. No wrapper, no plate, just directly on the counter. Disgusting. I love Panera, but I don't think I will ever visit this location again. read more

Quality of food is awful here. It's like they literally throw together the food. And awfully long wait times.

Since this place is so close to my work; I was ordering from them at least 3-5 times per week. A lot of my co workers order from them also; for the same reason. Their order accuracy is about 25% of the time and worst of all; hair has been found in their food on more than one occasion. After bringing the issue to the managers attention and after numerous emails stating that they were working to improve and that they valued my feedback; the issue continues to happen! I started going there in September of last year and have been going often ever since. Even ordered from them today and once again; items were missing from the salad I ordered. So now I'm posting this review as I feel I have given them ample opportunity to change! read more

It's getting ridiculous. Every time I am trying to make a to go order from this location, something goes wrong. If it's not a bag of chips instead of requested apple with order, than its wait time. Here I am again. Waiting for my lunch order for 15 minutes. Again. No, I don't want "a free pastry for my wait". I want my life back and for people to do their job. The place is half empty, for crying out loud. read more

Awesome food and wonderful service every time we stop in. Love the drive thru we've used that a couple times on our way to work. Very friendly employees who go out of the way to get you what you need. Food is always hot and delicious. Plenty of seating for everyone including those who need a highchair. Definitely our go to Panera location as we've had horrible experiences at other local locations. read more

Waited for over a half an hour for food! They had know idea who was next or even the order of food coming out!

When I asked what I could eat as a vegan I was given a list of all the things I couldn't eat. I had to educate the server and let them know the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Then I was told I could only get the vegetable sandwich. Fine. I ordered it and it turns out of comes with feta cheese. Then they rolled their eyes and remade the sandwich which was two slices of bread with some salad leaves and onions. I bet they could have done a better job if they tried. They just didn't care. I bet one of the soups have have been options too. And maybe a salad? Urgh read more
