Reliable fresh food...we try to stop at Panera whenever possible on the road as fast food options are usually so unhealthy and Panera is the antidote to that. Service always reliable and this Panera was particularly nice as they seemed to have recently renovated. Well done Buckhorn! Nice atmosphere! read more

Terrible drive-thru experience. We ordered ahead and arrived five minutes after receiving the "ready for pickup" notification. There was only one car ahead of us in the drive-thru, yet we waited 12 minutes for them to order and receive their food. Once in line, there's no way to exit, so going inside to grab your order isn't an option. There are designated parking spots for mobile orders at the end of the drive-thru, and the staff could've easily asked the car ahead to pull into one to avoid holding up the line--but they didn't. Poor system design, lack of urgency, and based on other reviews, likely understaffing. Won't be returning. read more

Tables were dirty. I asked for a cloth to clean . Girl was polite she offered i said I'd do it after seeing the serving line littered with food an trash. Then the soup tasted like gelatin other soup was diabetic sweet. Service was good but the place was filthy once n done stomach cramps the rest of the night. Never again wasted 50 bucks on fast food garbage and a dirty establishment. 3 people soup n sandwiches. I'd rather eat out of a dumpster . Fyi same results pre frozen TV dinners would of been better. Possibly cracker barrel but stretching it read more

Panera is no longer Panera Bread anymore. Over twelve years ago, it was a joy to have one in your neighborhood where you can walk in to the warm aromatics of focaccia or their heavenly tomato basil bread before you could set your eyes on a decadent buffet of fresh pastries. Nope. Not anymore. Now when I walk in, my nostrils are struck largely with the scent of strong cleaning products that oddly is like the products that a local hospital uses. While that could be comforting, I don't want to feel like I'm getting a clinical patient experience, but a satisfyingly relaxing experience. The seats aren't comfortable. They're just cheap and the service is getting more impersonal and ignorant while demanding more in price for the lack of service before hardly keeping up on stock. For a weekend, I can barely get croissants. Two stars because at this location, orders are relatively consistent but just feels plain weird now since they branched into pizza and subs, neither of which can hold much a candle to their signature soups, salads and sandwiches. And if you're ordering pickup, be prepared to pay with a card. I was not, only had cash, and was basically told, with a very callous attitude, that it's "not my problem, go starve." I wonder... if the Panera Cares concept is still a thing? read more

Desperately trying to find food in the area while on a brief break from a long drive. This particular Panera Bread has a drive-thru window that didn't have much of a line on a Thursday afternoon. While driving up, noticed that they don't have the regular menu until you get all the way up to the ordering kiosk. Quickly settled on the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($8) and an Iced Tea ($2ish). Food is delivered to the car in about 8 minutes - with the sandwich being easily tear-able into two parts (for those who want the half-sandwich option). Bread is toasted nicely, albeit greasy, sandwiching the marinated chicken, cheese, and some greens. Basic but overall filling sandwich, good amount of BBQ sauce without sacrificing the integrity of the bread. Both the person taking the order and delivery staff did a solid job. Looks like they have both indoor and outdoor seating if not wanting to take the order to go. read more

1-star. Food Poisoning. I've been lucky enough in my life to have never gotten it so far, but I definitely got food poisoning this week after having a tuna sub (sandwich? not sure what they call it here, but their tuna thing) from this store on Monday. Had the sandwich, it was ok... fast forward to later that night and suddenly I'm feeling off. Need to leave my computer where I work from home and lay down. For the next three days I was in my bed all day just getting up to use the bathroom. First two days I couldn't eat anything at all. Today is the first day I'm finally feeling good enough to be up and about for a while, so I'm coming to leave this review. Whatever part of your food safety process failed, whether someone wasn't wearing plastic gloves while preparing the food and didn't wash their hands, or you were using bad tuna or lettuce, it doesn't matter. It shouldn't have happened. Corners got cut somewhere and I got the sickest I've been in 5+ years because of it. I'll never be returning to this store. Actually, just all Panera locations now. This should never happen at a store that's being operated correctly. Something is definitely not right here. read more

This has always been a good spot to get some lunch or a quick supper that feels healthier than most fast food however this last year there have been numerous occasions where it takes forever to get food and they have been out of key ingredients before 6 pm. I'm not sure if it's new management or what but I hope they can review their systems and find out what's going on. read more

I used to love Panera, but the quality continues to decline with the portion sizes as the prices go up. This particular Panera is always clean and the staff are wonderful. I was greeted with a smile and the food was ready quickly. Sadly, the last time we came my son ordered chicken noodle soup in a bread bowl. We got the soup and there was nothing but broth in the bread bowl. Not a single noodle or piece of chicken. I brought it back and they got him a new one but it obviously wasn't done heating because it was barely lukewarm. We weren't able to wait for another remake so he ate it and we left. That night he was violently sick. I can't be sure it was the soup but it was the only food he ate all day. Today U went in for a simple bagel. I got it and it was cut like this. Seriously, I could barely bite through the huge ball of bread on one side and the other side was so thin it was practically burnt. It was not good at all. I bought a dozen bagels to take home and told them not to cut them. There is just no quality control at all here any more. I think this will be my last visit. read more

OMG! The absolute slowest drive thru on Earth! In over a year I have only witnessed one car ever being parked to have the food brought out when complete! 20+ minutes for 2 iced teas is unacceptable and once you're in the line you can't get out if it, due to the way it was constructed. By the time you reach the window the ice in your drink is melted IF it's ready at all! Ask for a cup of ice, get a half full small cup! If not for the sip club I would avoid this place at all cost! Thankfully the staff over all is usually pleasant! read more

It's not that this Panera is tremendously different from any other Panera that I've been to, although this one does have a drive through and fun touch screen menus. But when you're driving from Cleveland, Ohio to Allentown, PA, this Panera is a beacon of health"ier" options along your route. I make the trip once a month for work, and this particular Panera is the highlight of my trip. My job isn't very exciting. read more

I love Panera Bread - I really do. They are a great choice for lunch when I am on the road and looking for something that I at least perceive to be healthy. I love the way that Panera has embraced technology with their fast lane ordering for pick up and their free WiFi. They are a great choice for afternoon business meetings with their varied and plentiful seating. However, on my last two visits to this location, I have been extremely disappointed in the service. On both occasions, I have entered and there has been no one behind the counter to take my order. From 20 yards away in the kitchen, someone has yelled "Just use the kiosk." While I appreciate having a kiosk option sometimes I want to order in person. While having a kiosk may lower the number of cashiers that are necessary on a shift, it is not an excuse to have no cashiers. read more

Panera Bread - Panera in Buckhorn, PA - Sandwiches Near Me - Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

This place is genuinely one of the most mid restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food is boring plain and pricey.

Best Panera bread I just ordered a turkey avocado blt- absolute best one I've ever had at Panera super fresh filled with great fresh lettuce and avocado and heaps of chicken- stop here - great staff and whoever made the sandwiches on Wednesday night 30 th June - Thankyou!!!!!! read more

Panera Bread - Delicious seasonal squash soup. - Sandwiches Near Me - Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

Not terrible. Personally, I think the catering carry-out option requires an unnecessary amount of plastic. The vegetables in their sandwiches are paper thin and no matter what sandwich you get, if there is onion on it, that is all you will taste. Very expensive for the quality of food. The soups are very salty and unhealthy. read more

Panera is consistently good, and this spot is no different. I ordered my meal with a ton of specifications (changed the bread, removed ingredients, added extras) and they made it perfectly! read more

Panera Bread - Roasted chicken gouda melt with bacon - Sandwiches Near Me - Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

What can I say: "Kiosks". Older people can not negotiate this technology. On a Sunday morning the place was half empty. Takes long to self-order. App is not easy and pushes certain products. Can't get your coffee while you wait for your order. Your name appears on the screen that is taken off your credit card (if that sort of thing doesn't creep you out). Kids behind the counter didn't get the order right and perplexed when we asked for coffee cups before. When they finally figured it out there were people standing around empty coffee dispensers. Three Observations: 1. This Panera is poorly managed 2. Congratulations Panera - The design is how you destroy a brand. 3. My last time ever coming here.., read more

Driving thru on I-80 and I always like Panera Bread's soups. We were told there any food we ordered would take 45 mins to get!?! No explanation to why it would take so long. We left and went to Moe's, great service & good food. read more

Very nice Panera location. I had the "you pick two" with the frontega chicken panini with the southwest chile lime ranch with chicken salad, with a baguette! Very nice experience. Food was delicious, and the employees were very nice. I used to work at a Panera, so I know what things are supposed to look like and be served like, and everything looked, and tasted amazing! Will be returning soon. read more

Breakfast here sucks. This is a bacon egg and cheese that costed me 5+ dollars for two pieces of bacon and have a slice of cheese Not to mention it's so greasy i can't even eat it on the go without greasing up my steering wheel :/ Not satisfied i feel like i just wasted my money read more

15 minutes in line with only 2 people in front of me. I go there for a bagel gift box only to be told "we don't do that".. And we don't have hardly any bagels anyway. Sorry.... I wasted half my entire lunch hour for NOTHING! This place has NO SERVICE!!!!! read more

After growing dissatisfaction with low-cost, low-quality Subway sandwich chain, I bit the bullet and pulled into the Panera Bread located in Bloomsburg, PA. The menu and pricing appealed to me as a single, male, 20-35 year old with an interest in quick-service food made from quality ingredients at a higher price point. I chose the Mediterranean Veggie made with Zesty Peppadew™ piquant peppers, feta cheese, and Jalapeño hummus on a Tomato Basil bread. It was a subtle but clear cue that I am a man of finer taste and sensibility. The glaringly obvious omission of meat signaled that not only am I a health-conscious consumer but that ethical concerns drive how I spend my quick-service food dollars. The artisinal sandwich designer and I exchanged a knowing look as he handed me my food. I knew that he knew and he knew that I knew that he knew. The interior design was modern yet welcoming - a hypoallergenic, energy efficient natural gas fireplace created an upscale, retreat-like atmosphere. A place I could take my young family or perhaps where I could chat with my career-driven, upwardly mobile girlfriend about starting one. After completing my dining experience, I took to social media to evangelize the brand among my peer group. read more

Lady taking our order, Rachel, was super rude & very unknowledgeable. Asked her about a menu item because we were told the last time we were in they had it certain days. When asked she simply said nope while rolling her eyes. When we said we were told they had the item on certain days she again said nope & proceeded to say if we have it we have it if not sorry. Then my fiancé gets his order, grilled cheese. Bread is not even grilled & rubbery. Definitely have been to other locations with much better service & were a lot cleaner. read more

While the food met the expectations that one can anticipate from an establishment in which the kitchen resembles an assembly line, the wait was atrocious. It took 30 minutes to receive our food, and the place was by no means "packed." read more

We are fans of Panera and this is undoubtedly one of the best places to stop along a very long stretch of I-80 across Pennsylvania. In fact, we time our trips so that we hit exit 232 around lunchtime. Our experience is that this particular Panera is up to the standard of the chain's other locations, which I find to be very good. We have found it to be clean, the staff to be friendly, and the food to be well prepared. So I am puzzled that others say that they have had a less than satisfactory experience. The quality of the food is much better than other competing chains and it's the reason that competitors such as Friendly's are having so much trouble -- never mind the low quality of the "fast food" burger, pizza and chicken competitors. read more

My chicken in my salad was raw. Everything was terrible. Please get new management. Needs major improvement.

I've been here several times in the past, however, I won't be back. We had three pick two's. My husband's grilled cheese was crisp on one side, soft on the other. My brother-in-law's tuna sandwich consisted of onion, tomato, lettuce, and a tablespoon of tuna salad. My panini was burnt on one side. Unfortunately I didn't notice that until I bit into it and got a mouthful of black. Yuk! I took it back and I replaced it with the Fuji Chicken Salad. I asked for dressing on the side and no onions. Of course, it came with onions and a ton of dressing on it. It was soggy and tasted old. We all had tomato soup. Sub par.. it used to be good. My brother-in-law tried to save his meal with coffee. Good luck there. It tasted burnt. All that and no apology for the burnt panini. read more

I've been coming here over the course of the last year and I feel I am finally able to give an accurate review of the overall quality. First I'll start by saying that the food is always fantastic and never fails to fill me to the very top, rarely do I get dessert but when I do it is truly A+ The price is very reasonable as a meal for two usually costs roughly $12, with drinks I'd estimate $15.47 to $16.90. If you're in a rush and need some delicious soup or want to sit down and eat the good stuff then this is definitely the place to go. read more

Staff was fantastic! Ordered a fairly large lunch order for a group I was meeting with. The order was ready when I was told and accurate. Will definitely order from here again the next time I'm in town. Thank you! read more

When we walked in we were told there was a 25+ minute wait for all orders. We looked around and saw almost no one dining. This could potentially lose business for Panera. How does it take so long to make two simple sandwiches when no one else is ordering? read more

My chipotle chicken sandwich came to my table ice cold. I bought a whole sandwich, and was only given a half in compensation. So basically I paid full price for half a sandwich. Very disappointed today. read more

This Panera stands as an oasis of good eats on the fast food dominated corridor of I-80. A minute off the highway and you can grab your favorite pick 2 combo with coffee that will beat any truck stop. It has become a must stop on our long road trips. The service is fast, friendly, and the food is predictably good. read more

Panera Bread - The holiday queue. - Sandwiches Near Me - Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

Good food, just not very easy to order it on their touch screens. A paper menu that you could read would be helpful.

This Panera uses a different size you pick two salad than the rest of America, normally it comes in a medium size box (not the big full size box) and this came in a tiny plastic thing. So I got a side salad and tiny cup of soup (comes with a chunk of bread) and a bakery scone and it costs $14. This place is a joke, but this isn't a one star because of the price, because i knew how overpriced Panera was going in. But the tiny salad, plus the amount of dressing (enough for two pieces of lettuce) was annoying and they forgot the bread so we had to go back. Also 4-5 people ordered after me and got their food before me. Yeah not coming back here, still love all other Panera's even though they are expensive as hell read more
