Awesome Bagel the The Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel is my new favorite and for a bagel it is very light on the stomach this bagel stack is made to perfection wifey absolutely loved the Green Goddess Chicken Cobb salad service was prompt and friendly if there is a manager reading this the worker Chelsea was on top of her job give that girl a raise! This was Monday at lunch time and there was actually more people in here than I expected but it was still very quiet Panera is one of my favorite stops and with everything new I try it just adds to the list of reasons to go! read more

I have been going to Panera since they opened here in Maine . The only thing I have to say is that's it's gotten to be a little pricey so we don't go as much . The food is always good . read more

I have always been happy with their chicken Caesar salad. This is my go to. The staff is very friendly in the wait time for your food is very fast. read more

Ever since they changed their menu, there really is no need to go here anymore. We loved the flatbed pizza, but it's gone. The soups are mediocre, but not great. I can make much better mac and cheese at home. I tried the caprese sandwich and it was decent, but way, way too much sauce. Vinegarette and mayo was overkill. I just don't have any good reason to go here anymore. A rating of mediocrity for a now mediocre restaurant. read more

I like the location and atmosphere here. Let me add Panera has been my go to place for years no matter what city or state I'm traveling thru. Used to be a great meet up place for sure. However my last visit I ordered a cup & bowl of soup (met a friend for lunch). Made the mistake of ordering on the App and chose rapid pick up even tho I was eating inside the cafe. The soup context was so small it would not have satisfied a small infant. I did reach out to the cafe and was contacted which was great. However having to explain the situation on my next visit to an associate at the counter was not going to work for me. Again I do appreciate them making it right but I'm pretty much done with Panera. Prices are high, quantity has been cut significantly and filling up on a half of loaf of bread just doesn't work for me. I should add this was not my first experience with mediocre portions. Let me add I'm not a big eater but I do like to feel satisfied. So with that I'm just going to say, "the juice is just not worth the squeeze" with Panera Bread anymore. Ps wish I had taken a photo of my sad size soup ..my bad. read more

This was a great place to stop off at in Maine on our way to see my uncle. Great satisfy food and coffee. Would recommend and would definitely return if in the area again! read more

Panera Bread - My yummy breakfast sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

We ordered take out from Panera last night, the salads came with a tiny bit of dressing, not enough to even taste it on the salad. The sandwiches looked like they were just thrown together. Panera used to be a great place to eat, now it's definitely not worth the money. read more

There great service there and the food was good I suggest the pizza bread for a great lunch

My girlfriend ordered a large mac n cheese. Yes i said a large and she was expecting a large. When she got her food she was confused and sent me a picture. That sh*t was a small put into a large bowl. What? Do they think shes dumb. Anyways she didn't say anything but I will. GIVE US THE MAC N CHEESE WE DESERVE. p.s. my girlfriend loves the mac n cheese we were just disappointed with the amount. Cashier was nice read more

Panera Bread - my salad was so good :) - Sandwiches Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

I am a regular of Panera.. just not this location... I felt zero customer service and felt rushed through my ordering process and itsnot a busy time... and several parts of my order were incorrect... I ordered on one of the type in (automation teller machine).. ordered exactly what I wanted... Bagel order was incorrect... Lunch order was missing side salad... Ordered bread bowls, they were hard as a rock.. could not use, threw them out... they must have Been at least a day old.. if not more.. felt zero customer service... location is less than desired... parking is a huge mess. My other experiences with several locations in Maine/ NHA nd VT has been amazing. read more

Food is good in a pinch. I think everyone is just unhappy to work there..so service is not their strong point. I just picked up an order and the girl who brought the order out to curbside was not a happy camper. We all have stuff going on but my goodness, smile! Look like you want to be there! read more

Love everything about them, but today I was very disappointed in the customer service. Only one person in front of me and I was waiting at least 15 minutes, while at least 8 people walking around seeming doing nothing. Only one person on the register. I was so disappointed I walked out. read more

Food isn't that bad but lets get real: the Sandwiches are 75% bread 25% meat/veggie. Who wants to pay $13 for a piece of focaccia with barely visible ingredients on the inside. And the bread always seems to be tough. Not to mention they always mess up my order - things missing, incomplete, or just flat out the wrong item. Don't get me started on the dirty utensils they give you. Noticed they don't sanitize or even wipe tables in between use. Saw many people coming and going all without so much of a glance by staff. Annoying. Panera you really let yourself go over the years. read more

Panera Bread put our excellent food and tgis afternoon was no different than the rest of the tines I have eaten at the restraunt. Today I had the "pick 2" and ordered 1/2 Cuban sandwich with a cup of Turkey Chili. Both were delicious. My wife decided on the Broccoli and Cheese Bread Bowl. She enjoyed her meal as well. We both also enjoy the atmosphere, especially when we can sit next to the gas fireplace. The deserts, although we didn't get one this visit, are top notch. The only drawbacks I have is the price point and amount of food you receive. I always walk away hungry and simply feel I didn't get a real value. These are the reasons my wife and I visit occasionally, not making Panera a regular "go to" spot. Enjoy! read more

This location had its issues, tables were dirty floors were filthy. However I soon came to realize that they were so understaffed. The workers were very friendly and the food was good. It was very busy and three people were trying to do everything. They were doing the best they could with a good attitude. I think the prices are high for what we order but it tasted good. read more

Food is typical, wait times are super long. I just heard them yell out "orders are 20-30 mins"! I got a cup of Mac and Cheese and a sandwich. Wish I would have known ahead of time about the wait! read more

It's our first time visiting this Panera location, and we are so happy with everything! Everything was fresh, the area was clean, and the staff was very nice. I especially wanna thank Matt for his positive vibes & friendly service. read more

The employees are great; the coffee is fresh and hot compare to other PB. I went there after walking a distance to try a coffee and i found the employee very appropriate and respectfu. read more

Panera is a fine place to eat. This Panera is fine if you're a greasy raccoon rummaging through a dumpster. Ordered the oatmeal with quinoa and honey. They used quinoa with red peppers in it. Red. Peppers. Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich had bacon on it. This error was the only positive part of the experience. The bun had that "left on the sidewalk in the sun" consistency. It's a new location, so maybe give them a few weeks to shake out the kinks. Red peppers in oatmeal. read more

since they updated the menu the store has been out of EVERYTHING, the bread they use to make all their sandwiches and bowls? gone. nothing to order, like legit no options. I thought this was a one time thing but this is the second time I've been since the menu shortening and theres nothing to eat. I don't blame the employees, they've always been incredibly nice, and it's a cute store, but it would be nice to eat while enjoying it. read more

The worst Panera I've ever been to. Staff is slow and not helpful. I had to repeat my order 5 times and the employee was still confused.

I was in Biddeford about a week ago visiting a family member in a near by hospital. I wanted to grab some breakfast before going in, so I decided to stop in at Panera Bread for a quick bite. The inside is very nice and clean. They had a lot of pastries and baked goods out on view. I decided to try a new breakfast sandwich they had, which featured a brioche bun, egg, cheese and sausage. I had super high hopes for this... but boy oh boy was I let down. The sandwich had absolutely no flavor at all to it. Normally sausage has some sort of flavor, something, but this was seriously lacking. The cheese had no flavor. The egg was ok. The bun was probably the best part. For 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 orange juices the total came to $16 and change, and I left feeling totally jipped. No thanks! read more

I love Panera. Panera is always reliable when it comes to providing decent sandwiches, soups, smoothies, etc. I LIVE for their iced green tea and their tuna salad sandwich. I don't know what they put into both of these, but one taste and you are in instant bliss. I also enjoy how Panera provides a variety of bagels. I live for their asiago cheese bagel and their honey walnut cream cheese spread. Also, being able to order online and being able to make specific changes to orders is a HUGE plus. I personally like my tuna sandwich on the cheese focaccia bread, and I was able to make this switch very easily when I ordered online and the process is super easy to follow. As far as this location goes, there are some pros and cons. The staff is generally pretty friendly, but when I ordered online one day, they didn't have their to-go stand anymore. I went up to the smoothie station and asked where I could pick up my order and another worker abruptly stated "I'm working on it..." I would have been totally fine waiting for my order to be finished, but I was taken aback by the abruptness of the worker. When my order was finished, she put the bag on the counter and I asked if the bag was my order and I got a simple "yes" from the same worker. As I stated, this was my first negative experience with a staff member, and it wasn't totally negative, it was just...meh. However, when ordering take out, Panera does a nice job of packaging the food so that things don't get soggy or gross. Overall, this is a decent location. I have eaten at this location as well and each time has been a decent experience. However, it might be nice for this location to implement their to-go station again. read more

We came here to eat because all of the food in Kennbunkport (where we stayed for vacation) was mediocre at best. I can't believe how excited our family was to see a Panera. Anyway, its a Panera. You know what to expect. It's great, especially if you've had a mediocre experience with food everywhere else. read more

awful service. guy at front counter was a complete asshole. my bagel was completely burnt and i asked for it to be re cooked nicely and he told me no and that he would put it back in the toaster again. never coming back after the poor customer service read more

After seeing their new "fresh" and "as you like it"ads, we thought we'd give it a try. First of all, NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY! The one vegetarian sandwich we got without the cheese was on some bread that even though it was whole wheat it reminded me of Sunbeam Bread (no tooth or chew to it at all). I really wanted a salad but instead of charging extra for the meat, I would have had to pay full price to have them hold the meat. Very disappointed and unimpressed. read more

You can never go wrong with Panera. Healthy good food. Love their sandwiches and soups. read more

Panera Bread - Parking lot view. - Sandwiches Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

Consistently getting my order wrong since 1981. A year or so ago, my sister ordered the broccoli cheddar soup, and she found a corner to a plastic bag in her soup. So gross. I have ordered online a few times with the app. once I got a salad, forgot which one, but it was some salad that didn't come with chicken. So I ordered this salad and customized it to have no cheese and add avocado. Sounds simple enough. I pick up my order on my lunch break, get back to work and open it to realize that instead of putting avocado on it, they put chicken on it. This was during the avocado shortage, so I would have completely understood if they didn't have any avocado, but they really shouldn't have helped themselves to putting chicken on my vegan salad. So I went hungry that day. Another time I got this Asian salad that had some type of nuts in it. I customized it to be without chicken. I picked up the salad, brought t back to work and YAY no chicken- but also no nuts . I gave t one last try. Third times a charm, right? I got the black bean soup, and 1/2 Mediterranean sandwich without cheese. Still came with cheese on it. I just can't win here. read more

I ordered online and put curbside pickup. They had plenty of people but left my order sitting inside after I clicked I'm here for at least 10 minutes. Second time this has happened. read more

The last time i was here was very disappointing, the service has been somewhat inconsistent as my sandwich didn't even have a handful of meat on it, definitely not worth what i paid. I normally love Panera but my sandwich did not reflect the quality I've found at other locations. If i wanted a sandwich that was all bread i would just go to subway. read more

Clean, good service, food good - but too danged cold inside. Kept my coat on while eating and still was freezing.

I have ordered curbside pickup twice and both times the service was friendly and fast. Everything was fresh and they put effort and detail into my order. Even calling me with a question. There are 2 people who really stood out as far as customer service and I want them to be recognized. Jon & Amy from the Biddeford store get 5 stars! Thank you. read more

My daughter hauled me back in here. Ordered from the kiosk, food popped up at the other end. I had the strawberry salad. No nuts etc. She had mac and cheese. That was good. Great to see no one on their phones. Even the college kids who are back in town. They love this place. Not me. read more

Have eaten at this location many times, but today was a big disappointment. French onion soup was barely warm. The Southwest chicken salad was not very crispy and made with old lettuce. I'll go back but will be sure to take the time to voice my opinion to the staff if my meal if not up to Panera standards. Today I had constraints. In retrospect I feel it was understaffed today. read more

The Cobb Salad is one of the best I've had believe it or not. The dressing is full of flavor, a bit creamy but not too creamy, it's just perfect. I get the 1/2 order & it's all I need for a delicious, filling dinner. I love it. There are a handful of chains that I go to regularly and this is one of them and I'll keep going back for the Cobb Salad. read more

panera is my favorite place literally ever there mac n cheese is to dieeee for. there bread is AMAZING. and there cookies are delicious especially when there warm and fresh baked. i could live on there food forever. i definitely recommend panera to anyone it's a healthier option to fast food and there food is better. oh and there smoothies are amazing read more

Went in Saturday night for takeout around 645p. I should have realized by the line of 10 people ahead of me that it was not going to be a great experience. One person was taking orders, very slowly. After about 10 mins it was our turn. We ordered a Greek salad, Mac and cheese and the Italian. Simple enough right? I thought wrong. Waited 15 mins for our food and it was made my a girl with the longest ponytail swaying back and forth in front of my food. Friggin gross. Management should require hair to be tied back. The 2 teenagers making the food were slow as molasses. Who knows where management was, but Panera needs to step up their game. read more

Great healthy choices, clean and fresh atmosphere, can sit inside or outside (weather depending). We keep going back. The best 'non fast food' fast food restaurant around. read more

quick place to stop by and grab a bit to eat. service is fast and food is fine. normal chain restaurant never had any issues here
