This review is based on my experience in ordering from Panera's catering over the last 9-10 months for my work. We frequently have customers in at my work that are announced last minute, and I know that I can count on Patti and Jacki to have our orders complete and on time, even when placed the morning of our luncheon! I've never had a bad experience here and wouldn't hesitate to order their catering for any personal events that I have come up. Panera is always a hit, and is my first choice for catering our customer events. Always fresh, delicious and timely! read more

My favorite place to get soup and a sandwich the broccoli soup is my favorite and the staff is very friendly!!

Service was absolutely unmatched. The tall skinny worker Anthony was an absolute sweetheart. Saw our little coaster thing go off, said don't worry about it and got our food for us. Definitely coming here every-time I'm in bloomingdale square. read more

I can't even start to begin counting the number of hours I've spent at this Panera Bread - all I know is that it's many. This is your typical Panera with all the usual eats you'd find at any Panera. What drives me to give this particular one four stars is that I have, on several occasions, planted myself here for hours on end during a work from home day (instead of my home office) without anyone telling me to purchase additional items or leave. A good thing when you are trying to deal with work matters remotely. They have many outlets available around the whole store so if you're debating whether not to bring your laptop in fear you won't find a place to charge your computer fear not. I do feel the need to note that the wi-fi signal is a bit weak, but not so much that it's not bearable. All in all, I recommend you stop by this Panera Bread location. read more

I love panera and I'm a fan of this particular one. Because this place shows character that you can't get at any other panera. The staff is so friendly and personable and there are identical twins that are there most of the time that take your order and NEVER get it wrong, sometimes they even memorize what I want. read more

Stopped in around 8:45 for a quick dinner and found the place to be filthy. I ordered the Asian salad but it came with Southwest dressing. The kitchen floor was so gross that I chose to get my money back rather than have them remake it. Service was friendly but VERY slow. read more

Has got to be the worst God awful chicken salad sandwich I have ever had. Usually chicken salad is a mix of celery mayo chicken but this mess but on a bed of what greens. I don't know how you messed this up but this is why I don't order out read more

I like Panerai and in Sunday we went around 3. The manager was sitting in the corner with a bunch of friends laughing, giggling and making lots of noise. Was so annoying we ended up leaving without finishing read more

20 bucs for a chicken sandwich, side of chips, cup of soup, and large green tea. I would of had no problem had my chips been in the bag. Got to the job and they put knife instead of spoon. I get that youre busy but, for the money be better. read more

Again, I find myself in a Panera that isn't clean. No bussed tables. We ordered on the kiosk, left a time on the kiosk. Our small order took 13 minutes to show up after we reminded the staff that was wandering around. I previously left a bad review from the Schaumburg Panera. This place is filthy. read more

Yikes! They have about 30 people waiting and trying to social distance, cars wrapped around the block, and they are running about 30 minutes behind. read more

How does a company with Bread in their name run out of bread? Get with it...don't make excuses manage your food supply and your forecast. This happens about 40-50% of the time when I go to Panera. It's completely unacceptable. I am going to start going avoiding Panera all together! read more

This place is busy it seems like, all of the time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The food is what you could expect from any panera, served hot or cold (depending what you order!!) and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful, employee Kim was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. All of the bakery products looked delicious, and my food was served very timely. Keep up the good work! You pick 2 Frontega and tomato soup, is what I love the most so far! read more

I don't know why, but this is the second time I came to Panera around 9pm and this place goes from a nice kinda fast food place to completely trash. The staff is super loud and swearing. The food took 15 min and was extremely messy with serving. The waiter was nice but the staff needs to be professional during all hours and realize that people can hear them smack talk read more

I ordered broccoli-cheddar mac and cheese. When i opened it was feels like they just took out from refrigerator and gave it to me. It was like frozen. read more

No drive thru, even though it is advertised for this location. Workers were rude. Cashier wasn't friendly and the people walking around did not say excuse me when trying to get stuff around me. I did not get what I asked when ordering. Asked for a turkey blt with steak as the meat substitute and they added the steak AND turkey so I had to pick those off. I asked for bread and butter and when I got home I saw I only had bread. I saw staff arrange my order, and the one before mine, I saw that they had consciously added butter. Not a good Panera to go. Will never go back. read more

For being such a large store, quality is very poor. Cashiers won't ask you what side you want and just pick one for you. Almost every table was dirty when I tried to sit down. There are plenty of other places to grab a bite in this area. read more

I am so frustrated with this Panera location. Unfortunately they are my closest location. They consistently are out of product (i.e. Roman lettuce--really?) or get the order wrong. We ALWAYS have to check our order. Today my husband picked up our order and thought he had everything. He did except instead of the Chicken & Wild Rice soup that I ordered, they gave me Chicken Noodle soup! Now you might think they were out of the Chicken & Wild Rice, but nope. If you go on the app, it's showing in stock and you can order it. Just ANOTHER screw up at this location. Though they do love to substitute when they're out of product. Typically at a lower price than what you were already charged for your original item. If you have another location as an option, you should go there. This location sucks when it comes to getting your order right and what you want to order. read more

Have to say we are huge fans. Every time we come here we always get excellent service and great food. The lines are always super long but the staff seems to navigate through them without a problem and the wait time is very minimal. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, And is always clean. This past visit I ordered a pumpkin muffin and a pumpkin spice latte, They were delicious! read more

Panera Bread - Pumpkin muffin to go with the pumpkin spics latte- Delicious! - Sandwiches Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

Stopped in around 7:45 for a quick bite and found the place to be dirty. I ordered the Asian salad but it came with the wrong dressing. I always have a good experience, they were very busy that night. I was not happy. My soup was luke warm at best. read more

This Panera has plenty of seating, quiet corners and a fire place. The servers are very helpful. The music is not too loud during lunch time. It doesn't get 5 stars because I had trouble finding a plug, the tables are rather close and the half sandwiches are kind of wimpy (insufficiently filled). read more

Gave this place a one star rating a while back, but I have decided to give them 4 stars as I feel they have improved a lot since I last rated them. Love the Cuban Sandwich! read more

Awfull place Employees don't care everybody works at snell pace even if there is a long line . I go to many Panera and this one is by far the worse read more

The most refreshing water i've ever had. Fuck fiji. Just come for the water bless up.

They are getting 2 stars because of COVID and I'm trying to be understanding, otherwise this would be a one star review. I called three or four times to place a pick up order and questions about the menu. Half the items on their menu online aren't available to order when you go to place an online order. So frustrating. All the paninis, the ham and Swiss sandwich, etc. Every time I called-no answer. And it automatically just hung up on me. So I drive with my baby to the location expecting them to be busy or something. Nope, not really at all. Maybe they were busy with online orders..don't know. But I saw at least 4 or 5 employees causally just wiping off things, standing around etc. The cashier was so rude. I told her I tried calling several times and no one answered and she just stared at me. No response. I then asked about several menu items I saw online and told her I wasn't able to find them when I went to place my order online and she said it's because they don't offer them anymore. I also had a pick two coupon from a year ago when Panera totally screwed up my order and I presented it to her after I told her my order and she said you wouldnt have been able to use this coupon over the phone anyways. And I said yeah but I could've asked my questions about the menu items and I would've been able to place my order and pick it up and give you the coupon when I picked up but since no one answered I am waiting in the lobby with my crying baby while I wait for my food. I originally wasn't even going to use the coupon because I wanted a ham and Swiss sandwich which wasn't part of the pick 2. But Panera likes to advertise a huge selection of food they don't even serve. Seems like over the years their customer service and declined tremendously, their prices increased substantially, and their food quality and selection is a joke at this point. My French onion soup was good-I'll give credit where it's due. The turkey avocado blt was just average. Something about their turkey and chicken and steak just tastes cheap. Like meat you'd get in a salad at a lunchroom cafeteria or hospital. I've officially given up on this location and Panera in general. read more

Their is many factors that make a break a business. Some can argue that if you have a good product people will come. Others, might say that customer service is key. Regardless, what you believe is key to success, we can come to the conclusion that in order to have a successful business you must have both a good product and good customer service. Panera Bread has good quality food at an affordable price. They also have consistency. However, this panera bread needs to improve their customer service skills. On 29 October, 2015 I decided to use the panera app in order to start implementing technology and make myself more familiar with the app itself (Panera loves when you use the app). I sat outside the panera location ordering m food with the app. Unfortunately, the app said that they were going to process the app order due to the fact that they can't take orders within ten minutes that they close using the app. So, I walked inside and ordered. The cashier (over weight Asian lady) who took my order must take customer service 101. She had the worst customer service I have experienced in my life. Everything I asked her to do, she complained about. I asked for Whole grain bread and went to the back and began to complain. Remind you, it takes about 2 mins to make a sandwich. You'll still leave when the establishment closes. If you are charging $9 for 2 mins of work, I think you are making a pretty good profit. With that profit panera please provide your staff with better customer service skills. Ps The High School kids that work there have better customer skills than the Asian lady who made my sandwich. Non the less, I will never return to this location. If I want a sandwich I can go to jersey mikes, firehouse or subway. read more

I sometimes come here with my laptop to do work, and my only complaint is there aren't very many outlets. There's one to the right of the entrance and at least one to the left, by the fireplace, and they probably won't be available if you come during the 11-2 p.m. lunch rush. Otherwise, this particular spot is clean, with fast service and good food. Pretty typical Panera. read more

More outlets! We need more outlets! Or was that cowbell? Who can remember these things? So I frequent local Paneras. And I mean FREQUENT. So, when I went to my nearest one, I expected a pretty fair balanced environment, of a few outlets on both ends of the space. There were not. One end of the place has a few, but the other side is completely without anywhere to plug in. And we searched. Boy, did we search. As one of the hipster elite that goes to public places with my laptop to be seen working on things (not really), I resent there not being enough outlets. The food was mediocre, nothing too special. It seemed somewhat that there was a lack of enthusiasm in the joint. Even the cashier was spacing out when I walked up to her. The drink situation angered me a little. When I first walked in, I went and got a fruit punch. I noticed that it was running out of syrup, so I settled for half a cup, figuring there would be fresh fruit punch in a few minutes, so by the time I was done with half a cup, I'd have more to get. Twenty minutes later, as I finished my fruit punch, my friend walks over with a half cup of what seems to really want to be fruit punch, and says the following to me: "The girl was over there and she saw it go crazy and not give me fruit punch, and she just looked at me like a deer in the headlights." Really? Even I know how to change the syrup container in that machine, I worked at the NIU food courts for six months. Absolutely ridiculous, that's what I say. I'm probably going to avoid this Panera, unless I absolutely need to meet with someone and that's the best option. read more

I haven't even tasted the food. It took us 30 minutes to get our food. A woman was working behind the line with no hat or hairnet. Three workers were standing around to deliver the food that wasn't coming! The manager did nothing to jump in and help. Doesn't even matter if the food is good at this point. I already have a bitter taste in my mouth. read more

I enjoy this Panera. It's in a nice location and is always clean. It gets packed at lunch time but they handle the lines very well. I love that they have a lot of kid friendly meals. They do a story time first Tuesday of each month in association with Bloomingdale library. They also offer free milk and cookies for that event which is very cute. read more

Slow service, manager behind the counter dismissed costumers when they asked after their food, which they'd been waiting for an hour. Never mind the fact they forgot one of my soups and didn't give me any spoons to eat the soup with. read more

This is probably the cleanest panera I've been to. The staff is friendly and knowledgable, and the service is quick. I've never had a screwed up order here, either! read more

This review is based on 2 visits for take out in the last 10 days. Both times the order was incorrect and it was the same menu item.Chicken Cobb Salad how in the hell can you screw this up! The first time I tell them no avocado and of course avocado was loaded up on the top. The second time I get home no friggen chicken no tomatos just croutons and mixed lettuce. Wasn't going back as it was at least 15-20 minute drive. I guess I learned my lesson to check or double check what I or we order. I don't think this location can handle things correctly when it gets super busy at lunch or dinner time. read more

Such an unorganized place. Ordered coffee and a bottle drink, took them 5 minutes to even find my bottled drink because it was not in the cooler. Choices for coffee hazelnut and light roast , no dark roast. The half and half was mislabeled as some creamer which is something I can't have. Good thing I noticed before I drank it. Even when standing near the manager he ignored me and was still in his conversation with some friend. read more

This is the worst Panera. Nobody cares. The takeout service is the slowest I've ever seen and the managers did nothing about it. People were waiting 35 minutes to an hour for their orders. That is unacceptable and if they were that behind, they should have til people before they ordered. read more

Worst Panera Bread ever! I waited at least 40 minutes for my to go order - and I only ordered for 4. While waiting for my order, the preparer asked me 3 times what my order was. Customers who had pickup orders came back because their orders were wrong or missing items. I realize it was during lunch time and busier, but I've been to many other Paneras even out of state during lunch, and never had such a bad experience. So many customers were upset and frustrated with the service! I also called 4 times on the way to pre-order so my food would be ready when I arrived, but no answer. Panera's mobile or online ordering is a nice option but not always convenient when you're driving and prefer to call in. read more

I was @ Panera in army trail road and The food came out wrong !! However service recovery was spot on. Excellent communication from the manager (Marty) and he even offered and gave me a refund for the wrong order. I will be back just for that. I would have given this place 6 stars if i could and if it wasn't for the wrong item. read more

Love everything on the menu.... beware during lunch rush hour.... seating is very limited.... repeat... VERY limited. You have to stake your claim for seating. It gets a little nasty.......but you can't beat the service & food. Hello..... Panera... time for expansion.. read more

Good is fresh, served quickly and delicious. Menu changes and adds new seasonal items. Cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Upon entering there were a few people in front of me. A woman loudly addressed the people in line that if they were paying with a credit card they could use the kiosk to order. I tried. Its confusing. So I went back in line. Much prefer talking face to face with someone. So much easier. Bill greeted me. What a guy! Smiles, happy, good salesman, just a great personality! Just having a short 10 second conversation with Bill set a very comfortable tone while at Panera. I finished ordering, and went to an open table. John, Big John, wiped off the table for me, was very polite, and cleaned up after me. Those two employees deserve recognition. I did have a short talk with the manager, who was also very polite, and understanding. Over all even after dealing with a pain-in-the-ass kiosk... my visit to Panera was well worth it! Man can they make an awesome Broccoli Cheddar Bread Bowl! read more
