Lines almost out the door, many times I order food to eat there and then find there are no tables available and a bunch of people standing by trying to grab the next one. They need to have someone monitoring this so they can let you know when you order food for dine-in. Why even offer it if you have no tables? Also, today I ordered a tomato mozzarella flatbread and they forgot to warm it up! It was ice cold and inedible. read more

How do you run out of bread, when your franchise name actually boasts of Bread??!!! I feel like they should be reported to their corporate offices or something! I will never be going back to this place again. Not only was it terribly underwhelming in portion, flavor and service, but I left even more hungry than when I showed up. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

Came in the other day and wouldn't come back or recommend. Go to a different Panera with competent staff. They forgot to make our smoothie and we had to wait till after we got our food for someone to make it. Then we got back to our hotel and realized they didn't give us salad dressing for our salad. Had to go back for that. Their broccoli cheddar soup was thick and congealing and just didn't taste right. Would not ever go back. read more

I ordered a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread to get some protein and make a healthy choice today. For $7.49 it came with basically shmeer of tuna. I took it to the counter to ask for more tuna...she gave me an extra dollup said the way we make them are 'portion controlled' (aka we barely give you anything to help Panera's bottom line) next time they'd have to charge for double tuna....No worries ...there won't be a next time. read more

This Panera bread is probably the WORST Panera bread I've been so far. The floor was very dirty with food crumble. The tables were uncleaned. The service was very very slow. The food amount was significantly less than any Panera bread I've been. Also, the food here doesn't taste as good as the food I got from the other Panera bread. Definitely will not go back here again. read more

Well, I ordered the Italian sannie, and I didn't read the whole description or anything, BUT, my sannie came out with like every kind of animal and bird you can think of (exaggeration - only slight) - it had ham, salami, turkey AND roast beef - HOW is that Italian?! And like one pepperoncini (not chopped up whatsoever) on each half of sannie so most of the bites didn't contain pepperoncini but the ones that did were ridicky... The tomato was sliced ridicky thicky. The lettuce was wilty. The deli meat was piled so thick that the middle of the sannie was ice cold but the bread was warm. The "press" that they used to heat it singed the outside of the bread, so it was like they tried to Panini-ize an Italian poor-boy style sannie. WRONG-O. Just wrongness in every fashion. read more

So I got a free cupcake with my lettuce wrap to which I added cheese. After 15 min at lunch, the wrap arrived as a pile of lettuce leaves with some turkey slices and sliced tomatoes on top. They forgot the cheese. And the center of the cupcake was uncooked/undercooked. read more

I'm only giving one star because the bread was good... The sandwich itself sucked! My husbands sandwich also was pretty gross. My apple was also rotten. I expected much more for the price and all the hype panera gets.I'm pretty sure we won't be back. read more

While the food is good and healthy; this location has some of the poorest service I have encountered, period! They are so-o slow; I have tried ordering on line, at the kiosk and forget the line. I was once in line for over 5 minutes and I was the second person in the line. The person in front of me only ordered a Pic 2. It doesn't matter what time you come it is slow. If I the food ever changes in quality- the Panera Card is getting cut in half. read more

This is my to-go place for lunch with my kid and other moms with kids. As long as you avoid the lunch rush which is any time bewteen 12-1:30p you can find plenty tables to accomodate your party. I love their tomato mozzarella sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup. Their salads are all pretty decent too but not mindblowing great. My daughter loves their mac 'n cheese. It's actually really delicious. Can't imagine how much calories are in that meal but who cares as long as it tastes good. Burn off the excess cals later! Try the hazelnut coffee. I'm addicted to it! Staff here are super friendly and helpful. It has a very homey feeling to the place which is why I keep going back. Super kid friendly with plenty high chairs. read more

I used to love going to Panera because the food is amazing, but recently, they have always been getting it wrong. And it only seems to happen in this particular location. One time I was there and had ordered just a Greek salad. Yet they STILL were able to mess it up. They brought me a salad with Caesar salad lettuce, some onion, lettuce and tomato with CAESAR dressing instead of a Greek salad with GREEK dressing. I wouldn't call myself very picky, but I was very unimpressed. It was such an obvious mistake, too. But then it got worse. I kindly told the server what was wrong with it and asked if they could remake it because I had asked for something completely different. She said no and said that was exactly how they made them. Having been there before, I knew that was false. So I asked her again, if she could please check it was right. She left and came back a few minutes later saying her manager said it was right. Which I did not understand, because she didn't take my salad and he wouldn't have been able to tell what dressing she had put on. Not to mention, she was very rude about the whole thing. I was very insulted and unimpressed. Any person with eyes could see what was wrong with this and certainly someone with supposed cooking and food experience. I came back another time, thinking maybe it was a one time thing, but I ordered just a salad again and they managed to mess it up again. And in a different way, too! Not to mention it took about half an hour for them to make a salad. Overall would not recommend going to this Panera location. The service is terrible, and even though the food is good the chances they get it right are almost nonexistent. read more

Just a normal Panera Bread located in NW Bellevue downtown. Portions were good and not too crowded on weekday afternoons. Always get half & half. It's really a good deal, you get a bowl of soup and a bowl of salad with your choice of a bag of potato chips or a piece of bread. All $11 after tax. read more

My first impression was not a memorable one hence the low score. Lunch on a weekday is busy with lines almost to the door and 2-3 registers open. The seating area was nearly full, making it hard to find a open seat if you plan on having your meal there. I did like how they gave you a beeper to let you know your order is ready. My half sandwich, cup of clam chowder and small apple was ready quickly I must say. HOWEVER, since I ordered to go, they gave me a plastic FORK for my SOUP!!! Grrr so frustrating. It was too late to go back so I just sipped my soup from the cup. The clam chowder lacked flavor and my sandwich was less than sub par. I'll give them another chance and order something differently but seriously, they need to be more attentive next time. read more

they are fast, have great fresh food, at a good price, its kind of a mad house in this place but they manage to still get it done nicely! And you have keep points with the card and get free stuff! I love that! read more

Overall, I like this place: it's clean and the staff is friendly and accomodating. It can get crowded at times, but I'm fine with that as long as I can find a table. I LOVE their Fuji Apple Chicken salad the clam chowder is not bad either. The service can be a bit slow, but that usually happens during lunchtime, when they are a bit too busy. read more

Talk about disappointment ! This store has no concept of customer service or being professional in the service they provide. Thursday we ordered breakfast for the office for Friday delivery. At 8.27PM Panera decided to leave a voicemail at my work phone after hours informing me that my order has been cancelled due to being shorthanded. Luckily I checked my voicemail from home at 9PM and caught the message in time to order breakfast through another company. I called the store to give them some feedback they came up with some excuse of not receiving my order in time due to a glitch and so when they saw it they cancelled it. Spoke to the store manager Neil who seriously does not get the seriousness of the situation. We put out trust with companies like Panera and rely on them for their service. Luckily the food we ordered was just for the office not a client meeting. We have been Panera customers ever since they opened their store in Bellevue and are heavily disappointed with their lack of understanding, compassion and professionalism. We order Panera 5-6 times a month and this is what we got for our loyalty. Surely we will not be using Panera for any services. We rather trust another company that respects and excel in their customer service that Panera Bellevue who just don't care. If i could i would give them no star ! read more

Most unfriendly workers ever. There is one short lady who took my order today (the one who also cutes the bagels) and i could not believe how rude she is. Fix your credit card machine and hire new employee. read more

Nom Nom Nom!!!!! If you're looking for a fast, convenient and DELICIOUS lunch, this is the place to go, it's an easy-order walk up to the counter and find your own seating type of place, while you anxiously wait for your buzzer to vibrate when your food is hot and ready. I've only tried Panera twice, and so far it is definitely one of my favorites and it comes highly recommended from me. I'm hoping I can branch out of my "get what i got last time" habit i tend to do when i find something super tasty - but with that I have to say the Smokehouse Turkey Panini is fabulous. Turkey, Bacon, Cheddar & Sun Dried tomato mustard on a cheese bread.. umm.. yes please!! The Fuji Apple salad is a great pairing, and comes in a huge bowl, not just some pewny side salad. The friends i went with today had nothing but amazing things to say about the Mac n' Cheese, so we shared a little bowl of that as well, and oh-em-gee - that's probably what i will be getting next time! Who cares about the calories in that rich, thick creamy cheese sauce when it's THAT good! Do i even need to get started on how amazing the baked goods are? Go try for yourself :) read more

I've never really eaten here so I thought I'd check it out since I was driving by. The sandwich I got (turkey with gouda cheese and bacon) was good, I was actually surprised. And the toffee cookie was delish. I guess I always thought this place was a major chain so it can't be that good but I'm glad they proved me wrong. I would eat here over Subway anyday! I do prefer Specialty's but it's just not conveniently located (inside the mall). I will definitely come back and try their good selection of soups! read more

Service dog friendly. We enjoyed our light lunch. It's my birthday weekend to explore round the town.

There is something so good about Panera Bread. When I feel like a hearty but somewhat healthy lunch, I go here. The Bacon Turkey Bravo on sun dried tomato bread is just so good. read more

Every time I've been to this Panera I've experienced great customer service. The employees are very nice, I've never had any issues. The food is good, on par with all the other Paneras I've been too. This one has a fairly small seating area, so in the busy hours, it can be difficult to find a seat. read more

We order frequently from here, Panera consistently gets our orders right! They satisfy all my catering needs for a hungry team. Thank you!

I don't typically leave reviews but this one visit left me no choice. I keep returning to this location because it's seriously the most convenient for me. I did a rapid delivery this past week: French onion soup, grilled cheese and mango smoothie. When I opened the French onion soup, not only was there not any cheese but it was only half filled. A day later, I ended up in the ER for food poisoning from the mango smoothie. I meal prep my breakfast/lunch for work (my typical food items); my friend had the French onion soup/grilled cheese and he's not sick so it had to be the mango smoothie. After my field trip to the ER, I called the store to report it. The manager took my number down, told me I will hear from the State health department except I didn't hear from her again until after I called Panera corporate to put in a complaint. Even with her phone call, she states she's going to email me a form to complete but have not received anything in my inbox. I'm now stuck with a hefty hospital bill and lost wages. As much as I love Panera Bread, I'm most likely not returning to this store. Very disappointed! read more

Friendly staff, although not all seemed to have the right proper training because he didn't seem to know how to make my large ICED green tea which I received with no ice, didn't want to wait any longer so I just accepted it and lef. I also didn't receive my bottled water I ordered through rapid pick up either on another day. read more

I love sandwiches. This place delivers great sandwiches at a reasonable price in a nicer-than-normal-sandwich-joints atmosphere.

This location does not live up to the standard you can expect in St. Louis, their company home town. The only thing this location is good for is the Bagels. Even the coffee is sometimes lukewarm. The sandwiches are poorly constructed and it looks like they cut corners to save money. If all you need is a bagel or fresh pastry on the morning, then stop by. Don't trust their food service to be accurate. You're more likely to get a serving of high school gossip. read more

Meh. I go here because it's close and quick but the sandwiches are odd and over stuffed. I haven't successfully eaten a sandwich without making a huge mess and I haven't found a simple 3-4 ingredient sandwich on the menu. I hate to sub things so I just go with it but I'd be happier if there was a simple meat+lettuce+tomato+mayo option. read more

Wasn't really impressed with this Panera. They got my husband's order all wrong. He ordered a steak and egg on ciabatta but they put it on a poppy and onion bagel. My food was good but not great. Overall disappointed. read more

Sorely, deeply disappointed. Food was severely under-portioned. My dad and I ordered the soup bowl (which was just ok). But my husband ordered a steak & white cheddar panini of which he called "high-way" robbery. According to him, the quality and the amount of food he was given, he was better off going to Subway and get those $5 footlongs. As for my sister, she ordered Mac&Cheese, which was nothing special. It looks like something that was made in microwave. So sucky!!!!! Shame on you Panera read more

The hazelnut coffee is yummy! And I would definitely recommend the tomato & mozzarella panini. With that said, it does get very crowded and noisy during lunchtime, which is a pain when you're trying to converse with people at your table. read more

I visited Panera Bread several times during trips to the Bellevue area for work. The usual Asian Sesame Chicken Salad was always made well wish fresh lettuce, as expected. I was always satisfied with the experience and meal that I received from Panera Bread. read more

In a hurry to grab a sandwich. Multiple people milling around but only one on the register. I get a Mediterranean flat bread sando and an apple. My first bite of the sando had a 3" strand of something black, thicker than a hair. NOT natural. The rest of the sandwich was totally mediocre. The apple was tiny and mealy. Not sure I'm willing to risk another crappy take out meal at Panera. read more

The cashier didn't know what a club sandwich was. The improvised club with avocado was bathing in avocado and lacking in turkey. It looked like it was assembled by a small child with dexterity issues. I wish Pogacha was open on Sundays. I don't eat bread much, so when I do it sucks when it's so bad. And $13.00 with a soda. Bellevues restaurants need their food quality to catch up with their prices. read more

I went here thinking it would be a much nicer alternative to a Subway quality sandwich shop. I was slightly disappointed. My sandwich tasted alright but seemed haphazardly put together. I still felt hungry after eating and a little bit ripped off for the price. The service was also kind off. I got the vibe like the employees didn't really want to help, and would rather just talk to each other. The one saving grace of this place is their wonderful bagels. They also have some of the most amazing Mac and cheese I've had in a while. read more

It's always a healthy choice to choose panera bread! I love the flatbread sandwiches and paninis they have! I usually love lean meat and so I choose chicken and turkey options they have.. Their soups are really good and flavorful. The service is also prompt and reasonably good. Thumbs up! :) read more

Great food, good drinks, and perfect service. I walked in on a hot summer day and nearly all of their cold drinks were out, the associate was very patient in explaining the ones they had left and ended up giving me a drink for free because she felt so bad that they were out. They also have great air conditioning, wifi, and overall atmosphere. Highly recommend! Especially for their pastries and bread. read more

Great service, loved the Marconi cheese and amazing quick service from Patrick. Love it ! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I like the food here but they are slow in the morning. They didn't have their coffee prepared, didn't have the bagel I want either. We had to wait for the self-help coffee for like 10 mins, it was about 9:30am already, and the counter wasn't friendly, I could barely hear what he was saying. read more

This was my first time at a Panera Bread, and I was impressed. Lots of options, friendly staff, and VERY fresh ingredients. I'll definitely eat here again. read more
