Not too bad.. I've only been to this location so I really can't compare it to the others but I thought the food was pretty good. I ordered the steak and white cheddar sandwich and thought it was tasty. I did think it was a tad on the dry side, but the flavors were good, a hint of horseradish in there and that made a difference. I also had their broccoli cheddar soup and that was really good. I do agree that it is on the pricey side, but to be honest what isn't these days?? read more

The environment and food is like any other Panera, fairly good. However, The Wifi here is useless. Considering this is bellevue, it's ridiculous. Go to Starbucks read more

I do always feel like I am selling my soul when I come here. The food is meh, the coffee is meh, but it is very convenient to meet people and do homework there. Parking is free and plentiful, wifi is free and the place was obviously made for people to come hang out. I do like their sandwiches I just know I can get a better one at Whole Foods or even at home. Service is very good, the people are friendly and the food arrives quick, and they almost always bring it out to you even though that's not really expected at a counter service place, so I like that. read more

I just finished an awesome bread bowl from Panera. Nothing better than hot, creamy soup in a loaf of bread with some delicious Panera coffee on a cold Seattle day. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

See all

If you been to one Panera, you have been to them all. (Thus copying and pasting from my post from the Redmond restaurant). They all look the same with the same menu. Service is fast and a decent choice for fast lunch. Hubby and I always get the pick 2 menu - salad/soup; sandwich/soup; sandwich/salad. Our child always gets the mac and cheese. Price is not cheap. They make up for it with their awesome rewards program. We feel that we are always getting dollars off our meal or free coffee or free pastry. Specific to the Bellevue store, they need to change the ripped seat cushions. Knock one star off. read more

Pretty good dining experience at Panera, but nothing much to write home about. I had the mediterranean veggie sandwich which was quite nice but had nothing particularly mediterranean about it - standard vegetables and unremarkable hummus. I enjoyed their frozen lemonade, it was really refreshing. I probably wouldn't seek out a Panera bread again though - there really isn't anything about their menu thats exciting, especially for a vegetarian. Much prefer the local bakeries that put a great deal more ingenuity in their line-up. read more

$2.00 cookies? This place is good but it's not cheap. I like Specialties cookies better. read more

The last two times I have been here they have been out of Caesar salad because they don't have Romain lettuce. Today when I went it took 30 minutes from waiting in line to getting my food to go. read more

This (and other Panera locations) is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I have been a patron since 2005, in Ohio, then Wisconsin and now here. It's healthy, tasty and colorful. I usually go for the pick 2 (half sandwich, half salad and/or half soup). They have cold and hot sandwiches, and they have a breakfast menu too. My favorite though is Orchard chicken salad and French Onion soup with either chips or a French baguette on the side. Have it 2 out of 3 times I go to Panera. read more

We really like coming to Panera Bread for lunch. The only trouble is, we have to plan ahead a bit to make sure we're near one at lunch time. This time we were heading for Bellevue Square and managed to time it right. As far as we can tell, it doesn't matter what you order: sandwich, salad, soup, coffee, pastry, it's all good. The only disappointment this time was that she ordered a 'Pick 2' combo that had a sandwich on focaccia bread with the french onion soup. It was delicious. It just didn't quite stick with her for the whole afternoon. We're happy that a new location is opening in Woodinville. This will no doubt be a frequent stop during trips to Molbak's and visits to family that recently moved nearby. read more

Good soups, salads, and sandwiches...nothing exceptional or particularily noteworthy, just a solid sandwich joint. I generally only go here when I am visiting my wife for lunch...but otherwise I never make an effort to go here. The black bean soup is a light alternative. The french onion is a step above average. My wife loves the potato soup, and I have to say it's really creamy. The bread is obviously their specialty, and they do not dissapoint. Never had a bad experience here...but never really had a craving to go back. Their salads and sandwiches are good, again, no complaints. It does get a bit crowded during the lunch time rush, so finding a seat may be a bit difficult. They do have a full lineup of pastries, croissants, etc. All around decent sandwich and soup shop. Just not my particular cup of tea. read more

I went for an early lunch today as I was pretty hungry. I ordered a Chicken Cobb salad with Avocado to go. I got back to the office and started eating. Had the usual yumminess that I expect. I was enjoying it until about halfway through the salad when I realized there was no avocado to be found. Rawr! I double checked my receipt just to make sure they didn't charge me for a salad without avocado, which would have been perfectly fine. Alas, they did charge me for avocado. Had this been an isolated incident, I probably would have given a 3 star or higher review. Mistakes happen. Unfortunately, it's not isolated. A couple of months ago my coworkers and I ordered from this location for a working lunch. Four of us ordered some type of chicken salad but only two of us actually had chicken in their salad. What in the what??? No one orders a chicken salad and asks to hold the chicken. Coincidentally, the man who ordered before me requested a salad without chicken. I wonder if they gave him chicken. Or maybe he got my avocado! I probably won't be returning to this location for awhile. And if/when I do go back, I will definitely make sure to check that my order is correct before leaving, which I should have done anyway. My fault there. That still doesn't excuse the fact that quality control is lacking. It's a shame because everyone is really friendly and I found it to be a nice atmosphere. Hence the second star. read more

Great food and parking, but service was horribbllleeee. All I wanted was a chocolate chip bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and a bear claw. I had to repeat my order to the associate taking my order three times and he didn't even put onto my order the bear claw. After I paid, I was already so tired of his "i dont care" attitude that I didn't even mention the bear claw I just wanted to leave. When he was getting my bagel, he forgot which cream cheese I wanted AGAIN. I'm only giving this location a two star because the food was great, as usual! read more

I've been to this location quite a bit since it's right around the corner from work. It can be quite a busy location, but my last two visits have been beyond frustrating and have me looking for a new place to go. I stopped in for lunch last week (to-go). It being noon and lunch hour, they only had one lady working the register (which was beyond frustrating)...so waiting 15 minutes to place your order was a bit insane. By the time my order was placed and I grabbed my food I had wasted half my lunch hour. There was plenty of people quite irritated as I was. This morning, I stopped in to grab a quick chia tea latte. I ordered a large, and got something equivalent to the size of a water cup. To put icing on the cake while this employee was making my drink she took her sweet time...having a side conversation. There were two time she had sat my cup down to continue with her conversation...so I was completely on the back burner. I love Panera, but this location has been a nightmare. read more

I really enjoyed this resturant! The staff waa so friendly and helpful! I love the fireplace, art work on the wall and the pastries! The place was so comfortable! Thank you! read more

Online ordered Rapid pick-up with family feast. Soup and Salad were good, sandwiches is below average. Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich is cold. Also, missing French Baguette in the order. I didn't notice until back home. Check your online order before leaving. read more

This is my usual goto place for breakfast or atleast it has been. Always had a great experience both food and people greeting me. But not this time, the customer service representative Carlos, who helped me with my order was super rude and I feel very offended to even come here again. Carlos, dude please understand, I do pay for whatever I eat and not getting it free. read more

If your in a hurry... The food is good but it took over an hour to get a cup of soup and a half sandwich. I've been in three separate times to get a quick lunch and have had to leave because I couldn't stay any longer after paying. They gave me my money back but left angry and very hungry. Third time is a charm for me. Won't be back! read more

Our office ordered lunch from Panera and I was super excited. That went out the door when we received our order! They didn't put any identifying stickers on the salads or sandwiches so the whole department had to open all the wrappers to find out who ordered what. Surprise!!! They also tore up some bread and threw it in a bag. Wow. Is this a lunch for people or dogs? Totally unprofessional. Worse yet--the sandwiches were soggy and looked like they had been put together by a kid. They certainly didn't deserve our business. We ordered from Panera in Bellevue (downtown, not Factoria). In my opinion, if you're ordering business lunches, here's a tip --better to order from Homegrown, Specialty's, or Ingallinas for business lunches since these people don't know their asses from a whole in the ground! read more

I really like coming to Panera. It does not matter if i am running in to grab something to go, eating a meal with a friend, or if i am by myself with a book or some work i am never disappointed. The food, service, and atmosphere is always good. They have a wide variety of main dishes, delicious seasonal treats, and the you pick two combo is the best of both worlds. However, with that being said, i give this place 3 stars because, Panera does not have the best food ever and the prices are a little on the high end for soup, salad, and sandwiches. read more

Nice place and a very tasty hot drinks! If you have a second , stop by! I recommend this place in Bellevue. WA read more

When I ordered my coffee, the cashier asked if I had a punch card I said no and he just silently made the transaction without a word, then I asked can I have a free punch card, he said sorry you asked too late that I finished your order transaction and you had to ask for it before I complete. The feeling is like "I got you! " in a blink of second that just happened in front of my eyes! But it's not funny, the idiotically being tricked feeling is so awkward and uncomfortable, I'm irritated, yes, it's not a big deal for a free coffee after 10 punch but I will never come back to get tricked again :) read more

Wow. I rarely leave a poor review but hopefully something will be improved here. I just went in to grab a quick lunch with my son. Big mistake. Quick was far from the experience I had. We ordered Mac and cheese and half a panini. The service was so slooow. When I finally received our order the panini sandwich was soggy bread and really how hard. Can it be to put Mac and cheese in a cup to go? Not sure what is up with the processes here to get food cooked and delivered to the customer in a reasonable time but 40mins ?! Not going to be back read more

Service at the Panera's gets to be confusing. The problem is I love the selections of bread and the coffee, but I don't understand the service. The location in Redmond is a lot better, but I don't understand why the same person that takes my order needs to make my bread order, and then start on my coffee order. And if I order anything else there is a separate counter to pick that item up. It ends up being a lot of monitoring to try and get my food (Which is great!) But if it takes 10-15 mins to get a coffee with a bagel it isn't worth the trouble. read more

Good "fast food". Good friendly quick service. I enjoyed the steak salad. They also offered a healthy option to chips. Baked. read more

I just ordered chicken salad, tomato soup and green smoothie. How come I had to wait 10 minutes for drink and over 15 minutes for a lunch meal !!! Then ck salads were not good with no taste just the smell of cheeses. Never come back read more

I called in to place a to-go order for the following day, for my boss and his guests for a meeting. I had them repeat the order back to me, and everything seemed correct so I told them I would be by about 11 AM the next day to pick it up. They said that was fine, and all seemed well. The next day came, and before I headed down from my office, about 10 AM, I called just to confirm that it would be ready by 11 when I arrive. They had lost my order and told me that I must have called a different location. No, I called this location which is a few blocks down from our office. I re-ordered, and said I would be there in an hour at 11. They said okay. I show up, to find that the order is not ready and they ran out of a certain kind of bread needed for one of the sandwiches, so my order was not even MADE or put together at my arrival time. I asked why they didn't call me to ask instead of waiting for me to arrive and ask me, and I asked them how they ran out of the bread my order needed if I ordered it an hour ago (when they still had that specific bread, because I was not informed otherwise), and I was just met with blank stares. They finally get the order put together and I am now running late for this meeting I'm bringing the food for. They gave me the wrong teas, so I had to have them change that, and now am running even more late. Every employee was completely unapologetic as I quickly look through the bag to make sure all the sandwiches are there. I finally get back to my office, and am passing out the food, and realize they didn't give me any of the sides of chips or the brownies that were to go with each sandwich. Thankfully, my boss was completely understanding. My point is, ordering lunch for the office was so much harder than it needed to be with this Panera Bread. Everything was a disaster. They lost the order, when I got the order it was late and wrong, and not one employee apologized for the delay or the mistakes once. I will probably never come here again. read more

I went in there today as I was looking forward to the autumn soup being served now that it is fall and the ancient grain arugula salad with chicken. Since it had been a while (since last fall) that I had the autumn soup, I asked for a sample. I was given maybe 1/4 teaspoon to try. I was astounded (shocked) that the sample was so small. Just wondering if this is your new corporate policy. Next time, I will try the Redmond location. Maybe they will be more customer service driven. read more

Pro: The employees do a great job in their personal service of customers. They have often saved me money by reminding me when I have free food or drink on my Panera card. Very nice atmosphere. If not for the cons, I would award this Panera 4 stars. Con: They have a habit of slacking on cleaning tables; typically are slow at replenishing the drip coffee pots. Overall: The cons typically would push this 3-star rating down to a 2-star rating. However, I appreciate their warm service. Perhaps its because I am a regular at this Panera (3-4 days a week). But please, please stay on top of the drip coffee pots and tables. Thank you! read more

It seemed very nice and I was excited to have my sliced and toasted asiago bagel (which sounds heavenly) but when I got home, I realized they had never put my bagel in the bag! When I returned and showed them the receipt, they apologized and gave me an onion bagel which was neither sliced or toasted. I found the staff uncaring and unhelpful. I was very disappointed. read more

The staff were nice, but the food was horrible. I got the Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich, which is suppose to have both bacon and turkey. I'm not sure how someone could mess this up, but there was no turkey and the bread was stale. read more

Really Panera use to be so good. But they are always out of ingredients for their food by 6 pm daily. (The cashier even confirmed that it seems like they are out of key ingredients daily. read more

Before I start on the issues, I'll say thank you to the Manager (Melissa) for attempting to resolve the problem and provided a credit for this order. I placed my order online and was advised the order would be delivered between 1 and 115 today. By 120 no updates on status via tracking link. I attempted to call the restaurant 6 times within 30 minutes but the call would ring 5 times and fast busy each time. I was finally able to speak with someone at almost pm. They were short staffed but my order was out for delivery. I received a call from the delivery driver around 230 pm to tell me she was 10 minutes out. I just received my order an the sandwich is cold so I'll pass on lunch today and just eat the chips, cookie and drink my tea:) read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Standard Panera menu, excellent location and plenty of parking. Quick and easy to order, prompt service. Clean.

Never again after they took money from Small Businesses that needed it. They are a large corporation that should have applied for the other loan for large corporations if they needed it. All because you wanted a forgivable loan from taxpayers? read more

For a formula chain we think its pretty good. The food always tastes fresh and just prepared. The roasted turkey sandwich and salads are great. Inexpensive. Fast. Convenient. REMEMBER - you don't leave tips at Panera like other sit-in restaurants. We think, more times than not, it gets undersold. Its obvious the technology they have employed is very effective as Panera has become the industry standard for most of the industry. Pretty darn good. read more

Came here on a Saturday night at about 5:30. We were 2nd in line and the cashier took a while to notice the first person. During my order I asked to have my order repeated back to me. Everything was all in order and correct, but when our order came out my sandwich and soup was missing from the ticket. Had to go back, order, and pay, without an apology or much of a reaction at all. The food runner was much more apologetic. It wasn't the worst service, but I didn't feel like they cared about my experience at all. It felt like the whole place was just run by a bunch of high schoolers. As my family was finishing up I noticed a dad and his son get similar service. Their food got overlooked and they didn't do much to make it right. I think I'll be going to other Paneras from now on. read more

Every time we come here I recognize the same people who appear to be in trained or off struggle to push buttons on the computer. Don't wait for the panera to call out your order or name. They will let it sit on the counter with zero regard. Oh my and the inability to wrap a sandwich. This place is a ghost ship. read more
