I guess they got slammed with orders because it took 45 minutes to get our food and we had to ask for the drinks. The drink person was not calling names out. The food tasted good as it was freshly made. The wait time just ruined my experience. We arrived at 10:05 am. read more

Dear Panera Guest Care, I am writing to share a very disappointing experience I had today at your Bowie Town Center, Maryland location. I want to begin by saying that I am a loyal Panera customer. I use the Panera app regularly and order from Panera frequently. This was my first time visiting the Bowie Town Center location, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. I placed my order through the Panera app, as I normally do, and purchased two sandwiches for approximately $24. After picking up my order and taking only a couple of bites of my sandwich, I realized it had been made incorrectly because the tomatoes were missing. Since we had not yet left the shopping center, I returned to the restaurant to have the sandwich corrected. I politely explained to the employee at the front counter that my sandwich had been made without tomatoes. She suggested that she simply give me a few tomato slices, but I explained that I would prefer the sandwich be remade correctly with the ingredients I had paid for. At that point, the interaction became very unprofessional. The employee took my bag with an obvious attitude, dropped it on the counter, rolled her eyes at a coworker, and walked away without saying anything further. When I asked if my sandwich was being remade, she replied "yes," asked another employee to make it, and then walked away without even telling the kitchen staff which sandwich needed to be remade. Because of this lack of communication, I had to walk over to the food preparation area myself and ask who was making my sandwich to ensure the correct order was being prepared. I then requested to speak with the supervisor. After waiting several minutes, the supervisor came out but appeared more concerned with speaking to the employee than addressing my concerns. His demeanor made me feel as though my complaint was an inconvenience rather than a legitimate customer concern. I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously, nor did I receive the level of customer service I have come to expect from Panera. I understand that mistakes happen. My concern is not that tomatoes were forgotten. My concern is how I was treated after politely asking for my order to be corrected. As a paying customer, I should not have been met with attitude, dismissiveness, or disrespect for requesting that my food be prepared as ordered. Because I visit Panera so often, this experience was especially disappointing. I have always enjoyed your food and service at other locations, which is why this interaction at the Bowie Town Center restaurant stood out so negatively. I sincerely hope this feedback is shared with the management team so that additional customer service training can be provided. Every customer deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially when simply asking that an order be corrected. Thank you for taking the time to review my experience. I look forward to hearing how this matter will be addressed. Sincerely, Yenicia Montes read more

I usually order takeout. But the few times I've been inside there is ample seating, my food comes out hot and relatively quick, and the coffee is tasty. Staff is polite. A great to stop for fast-ish food. read more

This place has really changed since Covid hit and the service wasn't bad but it seems as though the momentum and effort has diminished. My food was just .... okay.. my salad was overpriced for the quality but the sandwich was-not too bad just wasn't made with care...I took the chicken off the salad because it didn't look cooked read more

I ate here with my parents for lunch. I had the pick 2, Italiano and chicken vocado blt sandwhich. My sandwiches were so fresh ..... I thought the Prince of Bel Air made them. My mother had a problem with her salad but Joanne replaced it with no questions asked. There s a reason my parents eat here × times a week. Clean tables, professionall and happy workers and fresh perfectly made food. Thank you Joanne for your unbelievable hospitality!!! read more

Making my morning rounds and decide to stop in for a cup of coffee, and a breakfast sandwich. The place not too crowded, plenty of seating and the young lady at the counter was pleasant and welcoming. Ordered the steak and wake, a cup of coffee, and a Drink. The unitial Steak and Wake was horrible. The young man made initial sandwich without the steak. I brought this to his attention he said no problem. He took the sandwich and placed steak on the sandwich and put back into oven for a second time instead of remaking the entire sandwich. I took the sandwich and called for the manager...the meat was still cold to the touch. The manager had the sandwich remade. The coffee was suppose to be bold however, it was the color of Tea. The coffee was hot though lacking on the bold. Overall, the initial contact and manager addressing the sandwich was the best of the experience. Went across the street to get coffee. read more

I recently visited Panera Bread at the Bowie Town Center, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and inviting, with a modern yet cozy vibe that makes it perfect for both a quick meal or a relaxed sit-down. The layout is spacious, offering plenty of seating options whether you're dining solo, with friends, or even working remotely. The staff was incredibly welcoming, greeting every guest with a smile and ensuring that the ordering process was smooth. As usual, Panera Bread's menu offers a wide variety of options, and it can be a bit overwhelming to choose! I opted for their signature classic-- a bowl of creamy tomato soup paired with a warm, toasty grilled cheese sandwich. The soup was rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of tanginess and smoothness. It paired perfectly with the crispy, golden sandwich that was filled with gooey melted cheese. The portion sizes were generous, and I was more than satisfied with my meal. What impressed me even more was the freshness of everything. Panera Bread is known for its commitment to fresh ingredients, and you can definitely taste the difference. The bread for the sandwich had that perfect crunchy crust, while the soup was made with high-quality tomatoes that gave it a vibrant, homemade taste. It was comforting, satisfying, and filling--just the kind of meal I needed on a chilly day. If you're looking for something lighter, Panera also offers a great selection of salads and seasonal offerings. On a previous visit, I tried their Asian Sesame Chicken Salad, and I was equally impressed with the freshness and balance of flavors. The grilled chicken was tender, the dressing had a nice kick to it, and the combination of veggies was a perfect complement to the hearty meal. The self-order kiosks were a convenient and time-saving feature, allowing me to customize my order and avoid any wait in line. Once my meal was ready, it was promptly brought to my table, which was great because I didn't have to keep an eye on the number boards. The service was efficient and attentive without feeling rushed, and I appreciated how they made sure everything was just right before bringing it out. Overall, Panera Bread at Bowie Town Center is a reliable spot for a satisfying and wholesome meal. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, meeting friends, or looking for a place to relax with a warm bowl of soup and a sandwich, it's a great option. The consistency in both food quality and service makes it a go-to for me, and I look forward to returning to enjoy more of their delicious offerings. read more

Busy location on a late Saturday morning. Busy area in general. Parking is a nightmare over here. I was meeting up with an old co-worker/friend for breakfast. Except breakfast here ends at 11 and we were there at 11:30, so we had to settle for an early lunch! I got the chipotle chicken avocado melt. It was pretty good. My friend got one of their bowls and said it was good! Plenty of seating here and good service. read more

Panera is a decent bakery and sandwich shop chain. They offer a wide variety of baked items, from bread and bagels to pastries. They also have a good selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches, making them a good spot for a lite afternoon meal. They offer their entrees individually, as a combo meal with fruit or (more!) bread or as part of a soup/sandwich combo. Panera has always been a favorite of our girls' youth sports teams, as it seems to appeal to their diet and makes for a nice mid- or post-tournament stop. They have a very relaxing atmosphere and a quick/efficient ordering/pickup process. This location is just up the road from the local sports park, making it an ideal stop as mentioned above. The facility is clean, and service is nice and helpful. Food here has always been fast and fresh. Recommend giving them a try for your next pastry or soup & sandwich craving. read more

Panera Bread - Salad combo meal with bread and fruit. - Sandwiches Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Quick service, staff is usually friendly and good is predictable. The bakery items and seasonal menu make it worth trying again and again.

This is the worst Panera in the area. They limit the products available for order on the app and then give customers an attitude about waiting for those products in-store when they have both an in-store and mobile order. Making things worse, they almost always mess up mobile orders and give the customer grief about that too. Go to Waugh Chapel or Annapolis, it's worth the drive. read more

The food at Panera is always consistently good. My favorite thing is their egg soufflé. I usually get the four cheese one. It is served warm, and it is so comforting with a cup of hot tea. They serve Republic of Tea brand here. I almost didn't get my egg soufflé. It was 11:05. I asked for one and the gal behind the counter hesitated. She said she was just about to throw them away! No! She did sell me one. Ifshe was going to throw them away couldn't she have thrown it to me for free? Anyway... it was delicious. There's plenty of easy and free parking here. If I'm at Bowie Town Center this is where I'll go for a quick bite and hot tea. read more

You know the feeling of biting into a firm crisp apple? Good because you won't find it at this Panera. I pulled up and picked up my order from curbside pickup and reached into the bag to give my son his apple and felt a squishy course ball in the bag. I pulled it out and it was an old apple. A step above rotted, visibly and tacitly not appropriate to give to a customer...... really Panera? When I got home, I realized the French onion soup I ordered didn't have cheese on it. Typically the food from Panera is pretty standard since it's likely all prepackaged/microwaved which is a plus since doing something like adding cheese to a soup or inspecting their produce is a step above their skill set. read more

This restaurant stays pretty busy. The young lady who makes the drinks name Taya went above and beyond to ensure that my drink was properly made. She was friendly, and was able to remember most of the customers that came through the line which helped her prepared to drink even faster. My complaint with the with the kitchen every time I order something with avocados they forget the freaking avocados. Overall add revisit you just have to check your food. read more

My chicken Cobb salad was full of gristle and bone. Absolutely inedible. It was takeout so I couldn't ask them to redo it.

I've been to this Panera Bread for several years and have yet to be disappointed. The customer service works like a well oiled machine and the staff have always been friendly to me. The place is kept clean and it flows well. There are plenty of seating inside that are spaced apart and great for working. There are outlets but not every outlet works so check and find the one that works if you need one for work. They pick up station is close to the front and easy accessible to grab and go. They also have carry out as well if you prefer that. The last time I was there the hot water station did get low a few times but it is cold outside and hot beverages as popular now. Once I told the manager he filled it up. On my most recent experience I had the margarita pizza and that was very filling and taste like it could have been from an Italian restaurant. It didn't take long to make either. I would recommend trying it. Oh yeah and grab some cookies for dessert or a snack :-) read more

COVID challenges, no problem. The folks here at Panera are doing it and committed to ensuring they deliver good food and customer service. I've ordered here several times and the food has been good and fresh as well as the customer service timely and accommodating. I love that they are making bread and pastries in small batches to ensure they are the freshest for the customer (I don't even mind waiting if I have too but I haven't). The limited menu is a bummer, especially when you have a taste for something but I totally get. There are still great choices from which to select. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service! read more

I just left this location and something I've never experienced happened. My friend and I both ordered salads. Both salads didn't appear to have any salad dressing on them. When I went back inside to get some I was denied. The woman behind the counter told me "we don't sell salad dressing". I said I just picked up my salad from you 2 minutes ago. Then another woman told me the salads had salad dressing. When I told her I didn't think so, but even then, I'd like more salad dressing. I never got any salad dressing. My advise, check your salads before you sit down, or bring your own. That's the last time I will visit this location. read more

-Negative 5 stars ( it made me pick a star to post this review) - after returning to my office I noticed that they had made a mistake and instead of giving me a chipotle chicken avocado melt on ciabatta bread they gave me a nasty looking sandwich with green mush and tomatoes or red peppers - I called and spoke with Joanne and she was nasty and short on the phone with me, I described the sandwich that was given to me and she said that green mush is probably the avocado & that the chipotle chicken avocado melt does not come on ciabatta, I told her that I had customized the order like it says on the receipt that I received. And I have ordered my sandwich this way multiple times, like this past Friday evening - I offered to bring the nasty a-- sandwich back with my receipt and show her what I was given -she offered to refund my card, I said that would be great since I don't have time to come back in today -my office orders at least once a month from the location (spending $30-to $65 each order)and this is my 2nd run in with Joanne, last time my order was missing a bag of chips and I let her know and she told me that I had all my sides, so I counted them for her and said we have 5 lunches and 4 sides, than she gave me a bag of chips with an attitude read more

Loving the presentation of my food in the fashionable dishes and serving tray. This location stays active and the service is pretty quick. I didn't particularly like the two people hanging over the counter (they were not employees on the clock), talking with the gentleman while he prepared our food. Yet, my food was tasty, as usually. read more

So I was in love with the autumn squash soup, which they canceled. Deal Breaker. All the menus say they have Paninis, but they got rid of their Panini press. Now they just toast the sandwiches. That's called false advertising, or Lying. Another Deal Breaker. So I Tried the tomato bacon filled cheese and tomato soup in the bread bowl as a substitute. Meh. And no breakfast available. All told, this will likely be my last trip to Panera. There are too many other places who do it right. read more

I love Panera and I just changed jobs to the Bowie Crofton area. This one is a little quicker to get to than the one in Waugh chapel. But I think I will take the longer drive. I thought I ordered a half of a panini what I got was barely a quarter of a panini. The saving grace is the mac and cheese which is always good. If they had a reserved rapid pick up parking spot would probably help with the parking and needing to walk over there. I really need yelp to let us do half stars. Sad panini is sad. read more

Other than the young lady Ash that works here, these rascals have absolutely no customer service awareness! I was informed that I HAD to purchase some dehydrated steak that had obviously been sitting out for the majority of the day before they would afford me the opportunity for some fresh steak. Then she walked away and that was that... By the grace of god I walked into this establishment with an awesome attitude, cause if not, I would have unequivocally given her the business by expressing some extremely vulgar sentiments in regards to her customer service. Anyway, Ash for president the rest of them SUCK read more

Sooo, it's a Panera everybody knows what it's about so why am I reviewing it, might you ask? Well because they have a new menu item, that's why. The broth bowls! I'm on their lovely mailing list and received an email to watch a video in order to save some duckets on the new broth bowls, I do this, and POW! a half off coupon is loaded onto my myPanera card. Pretty exciting, huh? So I tried the soba noodle and chicken bowl. What I got was a hearty bowl of yummy broth, and semi seasoned chicken....lol. I think it is better than what comes in the salad, I mean way better. The flavors in the broth were on point and the added veggies (think cabbage, carrots and the like) were so very fresh. The noodles tasted good and weren't soggy either. The bowl was a total treat (low fat too), and a surprise from what I'm used to. Like most meals, you get your choice of a side, and there is a slight upcharge for a salad or sandwich. In my opinion though, it is totally filling by itself. I totally dug it, and I'd probably get it again. read more

I was on my way to the area for an appointment so I needed my food quick! I have the panera app and it was easy to order my food and set a time for pick up. Parking exactly in front of panera may be hard but there is some side parking. They do have outside seating to enjoy the nice weather to come. When I walked in, I walked straight to the counter where they dispense food and asked Taylor about my pickup. Their pickup section was right on the right when you came in, I totally missed it but she led me in the right direction and told me to come back to her if I didn't see it. I always get the tomato mozzarella flatbread with a pumpkin muffie which are both great! The place was clean and had plenty of seating. read more

This location can get pretty crowded at lunchtime but I think it's worth the wait. The food has always been tasty and they have plenty of choices. Sometimes I'll do the 'you pick 2' with either a sandwich/salad, sandwich/soup or salad/soup. My current favorite sandwich is the frontega chicken. It's warm with mozzarella cheese; yum. I also like the smokehouse turkey sandwich. Some of the soups can be a little bland but the cream of chicken and wild rice is good. The bakery has tons of devilish choices. The cobblestone sweet roll looks heavenly but I'm afraid that it won't taste as good as it looks, so I haven't tried it. Love the scones, especially the tart cherry. Panera offers free wifi and they don't seem to care if you hang out all day using it. I have found the coffee to be consistently good. read more

Again, another hit! I got the combo: chicken kale Caesar salad and lemon orzo chicken and kale soup! SO IMPRESSED! Thank you Panera for these new salad and soup selections! They are superb!
