The last two times we've been here it was awful. Staff couldn't get the order right after two times. This most recent experience was an online order pickup. Even my laid back relatives were shocked at the quality. The sandwich we ordered was barely put together. Had hardly any meats/cheese. 1/2 strip of bacon. Calling it a sandwich is an insult to sandwiches. The tortellini bowl for my son seemed like it was missing a serving. 9 dollar pasta could do better, at least give me my full portion! My salad from my pick two had no dressing, on it or on the side. Yum... We ordered a kids milk, didn't get it either. We placed the order for 5:30 pick up, my in-laws had to wait to pick it up until 5:40, on fine. But it was still cold! How does that happen? All of our meal was nearly 45 dollars. We should have gone to a restaurant for that, and next time we will. This place needs some serious work. Huge thumbs down, major disappointment. My family owns a deli, and if this were my store, I'd be embarrassed at what's being put out of the kitchen. DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. read more

Lunch was very EXPENSIVE and deceivingly priced. I ordered a " pick 2" but charged $6.95 for ONE cup of soup!!, my total came to 18.76! my sandwich was only $6.95 btw. The sandwich was prepared with a piece of tomato with a hard core in it!! read more

I have always loved Panera. The love affair is over after three out of the three last visits have been awful. The service, cleanliness and quality of food are despicable. Perhaps it is just this location, but I wonder how they are still in business. Long story short, I will not return, and if you want fresh food and nice service, I'd recommend not stopping here. read more

Received an email saying delivery is free and clicked on the promotion and started my order. It was about 10:10am. I work swing shift, so I intended to order a breakfast sandwich and was relieved to see that I could order up to 10:30am. I clicked on almost every single breakfast sandwich (8 out of 10?) and was immediately shown that each sandwich was "sold out". !? WTH? What, they ran out of eggs, bread, cheese ? Really??? Because all those same ingredients are part of the menu for non-menu items. Many restaurants that have breakfast menus will let you order after some artificial time they set in the morning read more

Normally this is my spot, but whoever was making sandwiches today was having a rough one. Two thinly sliced pieces of turkey and about 3 pieces of lettuce. This is the weakest Bacon Turkey Bravo I've gotten from here. Kind of a let down. read more

Panera Bread - Bacon Turkey Bravo - Sandwiches Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Panera Bread is a well-known place for great soups, sandwiches, and salads. Also, they bake their own bread and you're able to buy bread and sweet treats and take home. They constantly are updating their menu so customers have always a variety of items to choose from and not get bored with the same thing. The staff is always helpful and ready to help. Food is generally ok and on-point. The reason they are not earning the extra star is due to the fact that the carpet is dirty and stained. I've visited this location so many times and before the carpets were clean. The other reason is that the girl calling up for the dishes really screams the names of the customers in desperation. No need for yelling that out loud or the high pitch tone. Customers are hungry and standing by anyways to get their orders as soon as ready. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place has hit a new low. It's now a filth-ridden dump where the staff just don't seem to care. The table was dirty, the silverware was dirty, the bread looked like it had a bite taken out of it, there was liquid all over the drink station (like a pool of drink), the area where they prepare the food looked like a bomb had gone off, the person that took my order was totally out of it and was a trainer. On top of all that the prices have gone up! The real shame is that at one time it was nice, clean, and the food was decent. It was a good neighborhood spot. Panera should be ashamed of this s-hole, it is not worthy of their typical restaurants. Do yourself a favor, don't go here! Starve instead, it will be a better experience. read more

It looks like corporate needs to come visit this store and do some customer service training. I put in an order last night for this morning. Good thing we got here early because the staff looked around at each other looking where to place blame when the realized they haven't started our order. As I asked questions the staff as a whole wouldn't respond, give answers or set expectations. Ok fine I'll grab an iced coffee for my lady and I. I was handed a cup with no instruction. Apparently customers do their own iced coffee. The lady behind the counter says "it's over there somewhere". The iced coffee is on the opposite side as the creamer, then I had to walk all the way back to the other side of the store for the lid and straw. 20 minutes and I still don't have my lady's drink. This store needs a trainer badly. The manager seemed to be trying, kinda felt bad for her. read more

Absolutely ridiculous experience. I went in to get two loaves of bread, no problems with the cashier. I decided to add on a soufflé and someone who I'm assuming was a manager came up and was SO rude to him. She says he needs to speed it up and there's a long line. There was literally two people behind me and if it's so busy, YOU hop on register. I've worked in food service for years and it makes me so angry seeing workers being mistreated. I told her that he was just getting me my bread and she was dismissive and said she was talking to him not me. I will never go to this location again, I reached out to Panera about this as well. Completely unacceptable embarrassing your employees in front on customers. read more

If zero was an option, that would be my preference. Placed an order for pick up at 10:41 am, was told my order would be ready at 11:41 am. It is now 12:00 pm, and they said it will be 15-20 minutes more. While their food is decent, it shouldn't take 1 1/2 hours to make 8 sandwiches and a bowl of Mac & cheese. I have watched at least 4 other orders placed after mine come out. Should have insisted on cancelling and not let staff talk me out of it. read more

Great like always, one of my favorite quick lunch place that has a home made soup, plus one of the only places that has vegan food,

I always enjoy the fresh foods. Soup and a Sandwich to go when I'm on the run. The chocolate chip cookies are always my best accompaniment.

2 yrs back ordered bread from Iliff location, X2 Sour & X2 Country, ordered two days out by phone...get there & they never had the order, they use your bread if they run low for sandwiches or to sell to a customer ...they didn't call you, you just show up...this happened 3 times. Found new store on Quebec,fantastic, never missed a beat. Recent: I ordered x2 of each bread at Iliff location, online this time & pd ahead of time. Ordered 3 days out. Get there,no bread, they told me to order more days ahead next time...they waited for me to drive there, no email cancelling order. I will go back to the store on Quebec, further drive, but worth it for exellent service. Iliff never grew up. read more

I had problems ordering my food, but Alejandro, one of the employees, was a huge help and immediately lifted my spirits. He actually took the time to assist me, and I am grateful. Alejandro needs to be paid more! read more

Save your money people don't try to order from this location. You would think with COVID-19 that they would be struggling to have business, but, instead they took the order, put me on hold and left me on the phone for 22 minutes. PS they never returned to the call. Kept the office phone number on hold and used my cell - same girl answered, I asked her where the heck did you go?? "Oh sorry your order cannot go through you'll just need to come in and order." Called the manager, He could care less great job buddy! You have your place running like a top done with you Panera's in Aurora. read more

Panera never fails to have great service and food! I come in during rush hour usually, and the service is surprisingly fast. I usually have to wait like 2-5 minutes for my food. The Mac and Cheese is my favorite ever! It's so creamy and the noodles are actually pretty big. Also the turkey sandwich is so good with the onions, mustard, and the bread is Whole grain with oats, and it's just so good! The only downside about Panera is sometimes it could be pricey. Overall, I love it here. read more

Haven't had Panera in about two years! Came in for some soup and it was just as good as I remembered. The broccoli cheddar is my favorite & the chicken noodle is yummy as well. The girl working the register was super friendly and the order was made quickly. read more

Ordered from Uber eats the chicken in my salad tasted bad and mushy and my potato soup tasted sour. Super disappointed cause this place is not cheap. read more

I only use Panera when absolutely necessary, to give my caregiver break. Panera Bread is crazy expensive and greedy. They will not offer senior discounts and reject most coupon codes, their food is very hit or miss and varies by location it can be really bad. The rewards program is a joke, they want you to spend about $500.00 before the give you a free drink or cookie. But the 1-855-372-6372 number I spoke with Andrea she was fabulous. She was polite, patient, knowledgeable and took time to actually call the store to check on my order and confirm for me. Andrea made a potentially bad experience pleasant for me. Very much needed in these times. read more

Support local small business and not this place. I should have done the same. I walk in 20 min before they closed and you would have thought it was 20 seconds before they closed with how the staff acted. The most visible displeasure with me came from whom I assume is the manager. He was very visibly frustrated at my presence. Trust me I get it, if someone walks in literally last minute that can be annoying but the store wasn't closing for another 20 minutes and that was with reduced hours based on the pandemic so technically this staff was getting off an hour earlier than what they typically would. I don't know if there's anything more offputting then a place that seems annoyed that you want to come in and spend your money there. read more

This location put bacon on my vegetarian partner's egg and cheese sandwich. When I tried to call to talk to them about the issue, I got an answering machine and no response when I dialed through. Sick partner and no help from Panera...we won't be going back. read more

Was starving for dinner. My husband and I just went in for soup and 1/2 sandwiches. The two kids making the food we're just goofing around barely paying attention to the food they were"preparing". By the time we received our food.....wow. what a disappointment!! The idiot who made our sandwiches skimped on everything, there was mostly just bread. All the veggies (looked like they were cut with a fork) and meat was sloppily thrown together. Soup was not appealing, just by looks alone I didn't even try it. Over all the store looked dirty and undermanaged. I get this is a chain and not a 5 star restaurant, but for 20 bucks- two sandwiches, 1 soup, and two drinks..... HORRIBLE!! Gross! read more

Ugh, I really hate writing reviews. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because I love panera in general. But I'm really upset that they have the nerve to give me a sandwich with one piece of turkey on it & then mostly lettuce?? I ordered a bacon turkey bravo of a pick two with the soup. Soup was fine, hard to mess that up! But panera is too expensive for one slice of turkey on what they wanna call a sandwich. read more

So disappointing .. I've never had a bad experience at a Panera till this one... they were super dead when I walked in and I stood at the counter for a few minutes finally someone asked if I had ordered yet... my food came out cold and looking sad. I won't be coming back to this store. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is an update to my original review of Panera @ Iliff & Peoria, 8 months ago. Well, I must say, they have improved immensely!! I have recently started choosing delivery to my home. Their salads, sandwiches and soup portions, consistency and quality now gets 100% from me!! Sometimes their pastries seem dry or day oldish . Excellent improvements!!! read more

If you come here for lunch on a weekday and expect a big line because this is where all the UCH and AMC campus folks come to eat! You can order online and then come into the store to pickup (within 10 minutes they claim). I got a "whole" roasted turkey and caramelized kale panini sandwich for almost $10. You have the option of getting a 1/2 sandwich and then getting a small side of soup or salad. I opted on getting the full sized sandwich because I thought it'd make me fuller. The sandwich was really small (2 slices-each slide about the size of an iPhone 6s). It was underwhelming. I also had an acai unsweetened berry tea that was alright. This place has its own parking structure and plenty of seating indoors. There is outdoor seating as well. read more

This is my lunch Panera. Also, I will pop in for a coffee and pastry in the morning sometimes. Lately I have been avoiding Panera for lunch. It seems a bit expensive for the quality you get. Nothing seems that great off the menu, pretty average items. I often feel hungry a few hours after I eat. I do like the Med Veggie sandwich, and the Med salad is pretty good too. The veggies seem fresh and the bread is always very soft. The soups are ok, and others salads are as well. I do love the Green Tea, but you can't get refills. It doesn't taste like green tea, more like apple juice, but it's very refreshing. Panera is one of those places where you think you are eating healthy, but check out the nutrition menu first. My favorite salad used to be the fuji apple until I saw the calories and fat in it. I was appalled. Very deceiving. read more

Food is good but the service is terrible. Really enjoy the rapid pick-up option but food is never ready at the time they tell you to pick-up. Communication in the store is horrible! Would definitely not recommend, especially if they are busy which is a constant excuse. Currently being ignored in their restaurant after having asked multiple times how much longer my order would be. It has now been nearly 45 minutes since my order was supposed to be ready to pick-up. read more

This place SUCKED. My good was freezing cold when they handed it to me so they made ME microwave it. TWICE. How about warming the food up all the way instead of making customers microwave it? After that, my food spilled in the microwave. But there were no napkins in sight to clean it up. Then, the lid they gave me for my to go bowl was the wrong size. It's worth mention the store was a mess with napkins and straw wrappers everywhere. I love Panera Bread but this location is disappointing and not worth coming back to. read more

Haven't been to Panera in a while and my visit yesterday was a reminder why. There was only one person in front of me and my friend, yet we stood there a good 10 minutes with no one even looking at us. While we waited, more people came in and that finally seemed to catch their attention. This kid called us up and I soon noticed that he's not very familiar with the whole ordering process. It took forever for him to figure out where to find what I told him I'd like, which was the Pick Two option containing of the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and Mac and Cheese. My friend also got the Mac and Cheese. That night I threw up more than I ever have before. I'm talking like out of my nose kind of thing. It was bad. My friend was fine, so I know it was the Mediterranean Chicken Salad. To this day I cringe when someone mentions Panera Bread. read more

Panera is one of the better chain restaurants. I usually stop in for lunch and order the "Pick 2" sandwich and soup deal. Panera has not disappointed yet. Be sure to join the MyPanera program for periodic specials. read more

Friendly & professional. Take out orders have always been correct & packaged with care.

Stopped in for lunch. There was virtually no waiting time at the register. We placed our order very quickly. There are a lot of low calorie options here. It's a great place to eat healthy as well as delicious food. The dining room has great seating areas. Good for a group or solo meal. The food was delicious and tasted very fresh. Unfortunately, we found a hair in one of the sandwiches. Luckily it was a teenage boy eating it so he just threw it aside. Regardless, it's worth noting! For that, they lose a star.... otherwise it would have been a 4 star meal. read more

A -ok in my book! This location is a large restaurant with plenty of seating and parking with some seating outside. Service is friendly and fast. Food is good also great option for a healthier quick bite to eat without spending a lot of money. Menu has a lot of options and combinations like half sandwich / Salad and Soup also some tasty tea options. A great comfortable in and out place! read more

I've stopped in here a few times for breakfast on my way in to work. Not bad, not bad at all! The taste, texture and construction of the the breakfast sandwiches is nicely done. However, some of the stuff I think is weak in portion size for the price. The other day I stopped in and they were giving away free samples of their power sandwich... I think that's the name. Whole grain bread, egg, ham & cheese. It was tasty! It was tasty so I ordered one and a fresh orange juice. I got a tiny cup of OJ and half of a sandwich for $6. It was a delicious breakfast, but I felt kind of ripped off. The staff here is super chipper and friendly. Very nice people. I'm sure I'll be back in... when I feel like being over charged for a tiny scrumptious breakfast. read more

It's my mid way place between home, the airport and/or my customer. Oftentimes I find myself passing this Panera Bread outlet coming or going from the above endpoints. Like all Panera, they have fresh options for lunch, and devious ways to bust your calorie budget, all at the same time. Although Panera boasts free Wifi, it is limited during lunch-time, so don't expect to camp out during peak hours. My go to meal is some variation of the Pick-2 Sandwich, Soup & Salad options. I usually opt for Tuna, but the last time there I tried the Cuban Panini, which was hot & tasty, oozing with cheesy goodness. Downside is often untrained or disaffected service staff. read more

Boy, do they do breakfast! I have never set foot inside this establishment, but they set foot inside mine and I am still reeling in awe! From the uber-pleasant young lady who delivered all of our order to the ingenious way they pack it all for such easy retrieval and display, I was thoroughly thrilled. The egg souffle sandwiches were AWESOME, and the fruit & yogurt were so fresh! Definitely using them again for my catering needs! read more

Ordered my food and paid for the order. The card machine confirmed that I paid and the transaction was approved by the bank. Their order computer had a glitch and the order did not come up on their prep board. They told me I had to pay again as the transaction did not go through. I pointed to the card machine that showed clearly the transaction had been processed and approved by the bank. They argued with me and informed me that if I wanted my food I would have to pay again. This morning I check my bank and sure enough I was charged twice. I called the manager and she refused to take any responsibility, refused to help me and told me it was my problem that the bank made an error. I informed her that the bank did not make an error as her machine confirmed I had already paid once and I should not have to pay again. She did not care and demanded I take care of the problem on my own. When the manager of the store does not care one whit about customer service or take any responsibility for their obvious errors, it's not a business I will go to anymore. read more

The (fall) seasonal choices are very yummy. Enjoying the Fuji Apple Salad and Frontega Chicken Panini. The salad was fresh and crisp (not doused with dressing which is great) and the sandwich was perfectly toasted. Chipotle mayo? One cannot go wrong. Only down side was the bakery options were extremely limited, likely due to time of day (late afternoon). Staff is very warm and welcoming too! read more

Don't order for delivery you'll never get your order. Ordered through DoorDash. A full hour and 15 minutes later still not here. Called store was told it was out for delivery- half hour later still no food. Called back asked to cancel order and was told okay order cancelled and then hung up on. Horrible customer service. read more
