Today after a quick trip to Quest, we went to Panera's for a quick breakfast. Dave had the Spinach Bacon Soufflé and I had the new "Wake Up BLT Bagel Stack". We had two large coffee too. Dave's Soufflé was just perfect and delicious. I was disappointed in my Bagel Stack. Whatever the sandwich was on didn't resemble a bagel. It looked more like an everything bagel roll coated with a lot of stuff and very salty. I also didn't care for the arugula which topped the sandwhich. I've had lots of breakfast sandwiches here and this was my least favorite. Coffee was great. service as always was wonderful. Atmosphere was clean and ready for a busy day. We shall return again soon! read more

We always look forward to seeing you everyday . Thank you! Please consider giving Freddy employee of the month. (Tabatha and Ned ) read more

"Order ahead" order was completely wrong. Got too much of some things and flat didnt receive several things. More than half the order wasn't labeled, so no idea what was what. When asking for my chips and bread the guy in the back fisted my rolls and tossed them in a bag.... HORRIBLE read more

We stopped at Panera for lunch while we were in Cape Coral car hunting. We both ordered the tomato soup and chicken salad sandwich and both were very good. The young lady at the counter was quite friendly and very helpful. read more

I would be super careful here. The employees will touch their friends across the counter, and use the same gloves to make your food. Also, they didn't have a ladle so they were scooping food with the same gloves. Literally heard it from one of the employees. I was a cook for over 7 years, never have I ever... O read more

Employees need to keep hair up Lots of flipping ponytails. Watch for hair in your food Ordering grilled cheese. Be aware of overflow of cheese....choking hazard read more

food is great but somehow food items are ALWAYS forgotten for deliveries. Just terrible. Then they always give you a refund but now what? Someone who wanted food didn't get it. Annoying and needs to change. read more

I was skeptical given some of the bad reviews but this Panera is actually quite nice! Super clean inside, staff is very polite, and overall a pleasant experience. Food is good as long as you pick carefully - id avoid all their baked goods (croissant was bleh) but their salads and soups are always delicious. Mac n cheese is also 11/10. There's also great wifi in case you need to get work done for a little bit! read more

Awefull. Always has been terrible. Every time I tried it their food is awful. I ended up spending $20 on a five dollar sandwich because I have to add an extra meat cheese, lettuce tomatoes because they put none of that on there. Terrible terrible restaurant. read more

Generic Panera food. Tasteless almond milk smoothie. Employee front- end with mask around chin. Employee making sandwiches, mask under nose. I will not be back as a restaurant with little care for customers' health should not have customers. read more

Sort of my go-to place. I'm not a fan of fast food sandwich joints but often you need to get something when you are out. This is how I role. A quick pick2 (1/2 sandwich and cup of soup or salad for a discounted price.) I always feel full and don't feel like I've made a poor food choice. It's ready quick and I'm back on the road. Their new Restaurant on Cape Coral Parkway Is really nice and clean inside... Conveniently located call me read more

ordered a goddess Cobb salad no meat, their are no discounts from taking the meat off your meal (which is what majority of the money is paying for) so I got a bowl of brown lettuce, with a few cherry tomatoes and one hard boiled egg, for $14. WASTE OF MONEY, and was disgusting. read more

Panera is usually one of my favorites. I don't know what's going on at this one. Staffing in kitchen? Chicken salad sandwich had about a single tablespoon of chicken salad. I opened the sandwich up because the first bite was nothing but bread. Another visit I ordered a grilled cheese. The bread wasn't toasted at all. It looked like they made a cheese sandwich amass warmed it in the microwave. Hope they get their act together. read more

Check your takeout orders because they are cheating you out of what you pay for. I ordered a Frontega Chicken Sandwich which is suppose to have Mozzarella Cheese. I took my order trusting that it was done right but oh no.......they take advantages of take out orders counting on you not reviewing it before you leave. I had a 2" x 2" Mozzarella cheese on my sandwich. I guess they are conserving on cheese while I was charged $11.13. I will never return and frankly, you need to reconsider as well. Overcharged and little food......do not trust getting what you pay for here. read more

Panera Bread just opened a brand new location in Cape Coral on Cape Coral Parkway East. Located in the Winn Dixie Shopping Plaza near the front corner of the lot. Although newly opened, this location has been received well and was doing a brisk business when we stopped for lunch this afternoon. This restaurant is fully handicapped compliant with a wheelchair ramp and accessible parking. Parking within the boundaries of the restaurant landscaping is extremely limited, so you may find it necessary to use parking in other areas of the lot, like we did today. It seemed they had additional staff on hand to help handle training issues and the initial business rush. The service and ambiance is the same good quality you find at most locations for this chain but with the additional sparkle that comes from opening a new store. Panera Bread has adapted to today's marketplace offering a variety of ordering options including: online mobile orders, self-serve kiosks, full service counter orders and the ability to take a seat and order food from their App. Seating offered inside includes tables and booths. Additionally, there are several outside tables with umbrellas for dining al fresco. Today was full of rain and bluster, so we ordered soup. The tomato bisque and broccoli cheddar were both tasty, as expected. They offered us a cookie for .99 and we decided it would be rude to refuse. The lemon drop cookie was soft, chewy and had a great flavor. Good choice! read more

I am a 30 year customer of Panera BreadCo, since it was St Louis BreadCo and have been to 20-30 BreadCos. This is THE BEST ONE. Manager MARK is professional, FRIENDLY, and always hustling, but stops to chat briefly. Cashier Christine & KAT call DOZENS of customers by name and HELPS, not just an "order takers" and Karen keeps the coffee bar and floors cleaner than my late MOTHER's KITCHEN! Elaine, James Asst Mgr - ALL GREAT! No BS ! read more

This has got to be the most welcoming and amazing service I have ever had. I have never been to a Panera Bread before and was hesitant. Kayleigh was AMAZING. She gave me samples and was so sweet. I wish I owned a company because she is a wonderful, patient, and accommodating employee. They are extremely to have her on their team. The food is amazing and even if it wasn't, I was treated so well that I would've came back regardless. Thank you Kayleigh again. You have amazing customer service skills and you are the reason I will be coming back. BTW, I have never been on Yelp before. So I don't do this often. I was so impressed that I had to sign up read more

Check your online orders, I bought a Mediterranean bowl, paid for extra chicken, only to get 3 pieces of chicken, which is the usual scam. Not ordering from here anymore. read more

Place an order online for pick up set outside for 10 minutes waiting for my order then I walked to the door the store's closed at 8:45 when the sign says 9.

Do NOT fall prey to the monthly coffee service at this location. They rarely have your order ready for pickup OR the hot coffee to prepare your own order. It's never busy when I am picking up in the late afternoon so there's no excuse for such poor service. read more

What's so difficult about keeping savory and sweet bagels separate? Anybody in management every try a Cinnamon Crunch bagel laced with sesame seeds or garlic? I even ordered 2 Cinnamon Bagels to prevent this because it's happened in the past Is this slicing bagel job really that difficult? read more

The food at Panera is always good, but the customer service at this location is definitely lacking. We came in a half hour before closing and each ordered a bowl of soup. They gave us our soup in To Go containers, but we didn't order it to go. When we asked about it we were told they always start doing Their orders in To Go containers one half hour before closing. We began to eat, only to realize there was nothing to set our bread on between bites. (We did get plates to set our bread on when we asked for them). We were enjoying our food when a server came up, the exact minute they closed and said "Just wanted to let you know we just closed and you have 10 minutes to get out of here". I'm not kidding! That was a word for word quote! I looked at my husband and said " Did she really just say that?" I guess customers aren't appreciated at this Panera location. read more

If you want the worst sandwich you will ever had then go here ! They give you 2slices of meat and call this a sandwich! Big Ripoff.

Ordered two flat breads Sunday evening November 22, 2020. Estimated Delivery time between 6:22 pm and 6:32 pm. Got a text a 6:30 pm that our order was on its way. When it got to be 7:05 pm I called Panera Bread on Cape Coral Pkwy in Cape Coral, Florida to find out our order status and the lady told me he had two other orders before ours and he'll be delivering ours after the other two. So finally at 7:40 pm over an hour late the delivery person drops off our meal at the front door. Never mind we ask for contact free delivery and requested our order be placed inside door on table in our Lanai. Our flat breads where delivered cold and hard which we then heated in our oven for 10 minutes. There was no Basil on our Margherita Flatbread and we had ordered extra sauce which we also didn't get. If you are hungry you better pick up your food yourself or you'll probably be really be starved by the time it gets to you. Very bad experience!!! read more

Listen up . Double check your Order before LEAVING , They are not the Brightest Services , and don't even say Sorry after going back to pick up what's missing in Bag , don't they wonder why their is stuff still on their counter ? TERRIBLE WAKE UP read more

Every time I give them another chance to get my order correct they fall flat. last time I ordered red onions on my sandwich and they barely put any on when I asked for extra and they decided to leave a big chunk of onion peel on my sandwich. This time my roasted turkey sandwich which I requested pickled red onions barely had any on there. I called and spoke to a manager and told them about this issue and that they screw up my order more times than I can count. I also had to add my own mayonnaise to my sandwich because it was not put on there when they made it. I did not exclude mayonnaise when I customized my sandwich. For as much as they charge for their food they need to have a better customer service and learn how to make sandwiches better. read more

okay, so it's a Panera. I've been to dozens of them. The food is good, what you would expect from Panera. The staff here are terrific. The place is kept very clean and everyone has been friendly and personable to me. It's now my home office away from home when in southwest Florida. read more

Seriously disappointing. The flatbread pizza was terrible and the customer service severely lacking. Gave this business several chances and each time my experience was worse than the last. My family loves Panera Bread so we will go back to The Panera Bread location on Pine Island. The food was delicious and the customer service excellent. Spent to much money on Cape Coral parkway for bad service. read more

Called for delivery. App is very confusing. to begin with and very hard to maneordered a grilled cheese sandwich which was literally burned when I got it and therefore not edible at all and the French onion soup which had no cheese and lacked any taste. It was horrible. I will never order or buy anything from there ever again. What a bad and disappointing experience! Never again. read more

The ordering machines don't work. You go to the counter and give your order then trying to find a table that had been cleaned wasn't easy ,everywhere you wanted to sit was so so glaring with sun you couldn't see. Several people just walked out because there was only one girl at the counter taking orders. They need darker shades on the windows in early evening and a manager that cares. read more

Ordered Uber Eats & the delivery was great but the restaurant forgot to add our bread. Kind of bummed bc we were looking forward to it & would've ordered more if we had known. read more

Absolutely love the food but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Was so excited for this location to be open since it is so close to my home and work but unfortunately every time I have been in here the staff and some management have been so rude and disrespectful. Hope as they are open longer, this will stop. read more

terrible service, asked for extra Romain in my salad because it was so tiny, refused, wow, wont eat here again , my daughter used to work at Panera, cutomer service was a cornerstone,not any more, they wanted to charge me more, what?? I guess that's why the place was empty, went across the street to get a real filling meal read more
