Ok let me qualify by saying their food every time before has been good and I don't expect the prepared food to look exactly like the picture but for $8.99 you have to put forth more effort than this. read more

Panera Bread - This is the Steak and White Cheddar I received, twice. - Sandwiches Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Very nice people i love one of the workers who very polite and makes you laugh :) and the wait isn't as bad but it's good

Ate here with two friends yesterday and we all ended up sick later in the day. I normally love Panera but certainly don't love food poisoning. read more

I visit this location twice this week. I was in there today around 2:00 used the Kiosk to order my Roasted Turkey Apple Cheddar Sandwich. I waited about 25 minutes for my sandwich.. There were 3 customers behind me. All three received their food wayyy before I did. I looked over noticed the manager Chris, I asked why is it taking so long to make my sandwich? I thought using the Kiosk would be quicker. He said well there are two people in the back making food each one of them has a separate task when it comes to preparing food.. I said 3 people received their food way before I did. He was like um ok? I said to him maybe next time I'll just stand in line and not use the kiosk since it isn't quicker.. He said well maybe you should stand in line next time with a attitude. I said I'm done talking to you about it.. As I was leaving he said have a nice day with a smirk on his face. He saw clearly I was upset waiting half of my lunch time waiting for a sandwich. I will never visit Panera Bread again.. This was the worst service I've ever received. I think I'll stick to Chicfila since the employees there respect their customers.. I'll make sure to persuade my friends and co-workers as well never to eat here.. Your customer service sucks. read more

Since I'm the Duchess here I felt compelled to write a review! I really like Panera. You can stop at any Panera anywhere and know that you are going to get the same high quality tasty food that you get at any Panera. They have the best specialty bagels, especially the cinnamon crunch! I'm not a big fan of their regular bagels, but that doesn't really matter since if I am going to Panera for a bagel it's going to be a cinnamon crunch. They also have a nice selection of salads and sandwiches as well as soups, and you can do a half and half were you mix and match soup, sandwich and salad selections. Their pastries are pretty decadent and good and they have a great cinnamon coffee cake as well. Some of their sandwiches can't be customized which is a bit of a bummer because that means I always have to pick my tomatoes off myself, but I can live with that. Overall, a great place for breakfast or lunch. read more

I come here every now and then. The lattes rock, as do most of the menu items. Staff is friendly and helpful, you can also use self order and pay. read more

Very clean, great services, a nice place to sit and drink coffee and get a quick bite to eat.

Does anyone put a decent amount of meat on sandwiches?. Between my last visit to Chanticleers Cafe and now Panera, I would say no. I will try to post my picture of my "lettuce sandwich". read more

Usually very busy which is why I only ranked 4 stars. The convenience of the kiosk really helps with this area! I also love that they have started delivering and have enjoyed their meals at work without having to leave the building. read more

What can I say, it's Panera. The bagels and bread are amazing. Lunch is awesome. The only complaint I've ever had is how busy they get. But that's just an indicator of what a great place Panera is! read more

Being pregnant I get random cravings. I'm from jersey where we have Atlanta bread but here there's Panera. So after reading the reviews I was a little nervous because if things are what I expect it doesn't satisfy the craving. I ordered the pick two, a bowl of baked potato soup and a chicken Caesar salad with extra romaine, extra dressing on the side and strawberries. The side I choose was a dinner roll. I ordered on the kiosk that says skip the line. Everything was great. My salad was exactly what I wanted and the soup was delicious and still hot after my 15 minute drive home. My only complaint was the dinner roll taste a little old. I'm used to fresh baked rolls which isn't that big of a deal, just preference. Overall I definitely will come back, and it exceeded expectations after reading reviews. read more

Always pleasant service and has my favorite sandwich ever. As a vegetarian I've had some awful veggie sandwiches but the Mediterranean Veggie here is A+ read more

Service is super slow, and they got my order wrong. After the buzzer went off, I still had to wait for 5 others to get their food. All I ordered was chicken and wild rice soup, and I got back to the office having been given cheddar and broccoli soup. Disappointed. read more

I purchase a lot of gift certificates from Panera because the staff is always courteous, the service is good and the food selections are delicious and nutritious. read more

Just went to the crossroads location. I was third in line and had to wait ten minutes while they were dealing with the customer in front of me... No problem things happen. I get up there and they are out of half of the kinds of bagels. It is 3:45 and you are out of half of your bagels. So unless you want they least favorite kinds like everything bagels don't bother going here. read more

Panera Bread is highly overrated. Food is mediocre and overpriced. Kids sandwiches are really disappointing.

Panera is always delicious but I've had faster service from much busier Paneras before. It was very empty but yet the service was pretty slow. The food came up in a reasonable time but they only had one register open with a growing line. read more

Don't care for the recent menu changes and deletions. Used to come to various Paneras around town multiple times a week, but due to menu changes, Panera is no longer one of our favorite places. read more

I've eaten here several times and I've always had a good experience. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is always great!

We came in on a Sunday morning hoping to grab a quick bagel because we felt like a $10 waffle at our hotel was ridiculous. The line was long but moved quickly. We tried to order at the kiosk but it wouldn't let us add cream cheese to our bagel so we stayed in the line. When it came our time to order we were told they didn't have any cream cheese. Thinking this was odd, I asked why and we were told their cream cheese was recalled and hadn't gotten a new order in yet. I understand this completely and know it isn't their fault but I felt there should have been a sign up at the door or kiosks explaining this before I waited in line for 15 minutes. So we ordered other items and ended up spending more than we would have for the full breakfast buffet at our hotel. Oh well, bad timing for us, not Panera's fault. I like that they offer the kiosk ordering and the order from your table option as our local Panera does not have this. As I said before, the line moved relatively quickly for a busy morning. Love their Agave Lemonade and Blood Orange Lemonade. read more

Not that busy yet my food sat waiting for someone to deliver it to my table. Finally had to go up to the counter to ask for it. Barely warm bagel...not a great customer service experience. read more

I always go here when I'm in this part of the world. The place is always buzzing with activity and the staff is friendly and helpful. Free refills on the coffee too. They can be on the expensive side though, 11.00 for a sandwich seemed a bit much plus they added bacon to it without warning (wasn't listed on the menu as one of the ingredients). I know I'm in the minority here but I despise bacon so a little warning would have been nice so I could order something else. Otherwise, a good place. read more

Panera never fails to provide excellent food, but the service at this location is absolutely amazing! A nice lady named Taylor (gorgeous red hair) took our plates and made sure we were satisfied with our lunch. I can't wait to eat here again!! read more

I always have poor customer service experiences at this location. Today the cashier just wasnt listening. She asked me the same questions two or 3 times, and still didnt give me my muffin, before dismissing me from her presence. She wasnt engaged, she seemed genuinely bored and bothered by the disruption. They werent even busy. I also find the management to have poor customer service. The food is the same, 3 stars, but customer service is 0 stars. read more

Love the new fast way to order. The cashier was super friendly and personable. My food was made quickly and was served piping hot which was delicious. The only complaint is that this restaurant is always freezing cold... read more

So I do like Panera Bread normally however, this visit was not desirable and does not warrant a return visit. For starters they got my order wrong. I ordered the pick two the Goddess salad and the Turkey BLT. What I got was a chipotle avocado chicken that was a hot mess. They literally didn't even bother to cut up the avocado they just stuck a whole half of one on the sandwich. My bread was soggy and the cheese looked old and the whole sandwich was falling apart. Oh then they gave me a Greek Quinoa salad. I paid 14.00 for a gross meal not including tip. Granted I should have checked my bag before I left. Will not be returning! read more

I love Panera, but this one has gone downhill. The bread didn't taste fresh last time. The one in Beaver Creek in Apex us much better.

I stopped at Panera mainly becuase I was craving a warm chocoloate chip cookie. I ordered a salad, then requested a cookie only to find out they had none. There was one bag of a dozen small cookies at the register, which my friendly cashier gave me since I "seemed like I really wanted a cookie". Great customer service gesture! That's how you build loyalty! read more

I travel lot and really like Panera because it is consistently a good place to eat no matter where I go. Some are better than others, obviously, but good overall. i've been to this Cary locations many times and like it. read more

Our office ordered from Panara on Walnut street in Cary NC today. Order was not correct, did not address any custom orders we had. They didn't include 2 items that we had ordered, which were on the receipt but not with the food when we got back to the office. Phoned and let them know we were coming coming back to pick up the rest of the order. Drove total of 10.8 miles with the two trips. GM didn't apologize or offer anything for the trouble. Will choose another another Panara next time. read more

I love that they now bring you your meal. I just wish the self-serve kiosks were easier to use for more than one order. The food was very good. read more

First, let me say the food was good as usual. However, the cashier was a condescending jerk. His name tag of Andre 3000 smirked, shook his head and had an underneath laugh for the items I ordered. It tested my patience to not call him out for his display of being a rude asshole. It was uncalled for. One item I ordered was a smoothie for my fiancé since she was sick and couldn't eat solids. I waited with my pager for the other items and nobody ever told me that the smoothie was just sitting on the ledge waiting for me to pick up. Andre 3000 could have been pro active and actually said, "here you go sir, can I help with anything else?". Nope, instead he was nowhere to be found. He didn't inform his co-workers either because they looked at me like I was stupid and were only worries about the next meal they were preparing. This Panera is so consumed with the task at hand that they forget to provide customer service. Andre, if you read this, I forgive you. I fear others won't. Just be friendly, it is not hard to do! read more

Just got a sandwich and it was the worst construction of a sandwich ive ever seen I stopped in thinking itd be easy to just get a sandwich for the road but it was literally just a pile of sandwich items sloppily wrapped together and here i am in my car in the dark grasping at this pile of food hoping to get a somewhat decent ratio of ingredients. There was somehow two and a half pieces of bread and mayo on literally one corner i am both amused and annoyed 0/10 wouldnt recommend read more

First time using home delivery. Great job. On time! Joel was awesome and very courteous. Soup was hot and salad was cold.

I was here over the holidays because my friend and her family have been going to this place at least once a week for many years now. I never knew why they liked it so much, until they talked me into ordering some soup. By far the best chicken noodle soup I've ever had. I didn't even know it could taste that good. Also, the place is very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. read more

Today I received the worst service ever! I use to be a waitress at a couple of restaurants, and I know what good customer service is, however I'm usually pretty lenient to people that work in the restaurant business, because it's harder work then you would think, but the way the staff treated us was so incredibly rude, that I will never even think about setting foot in that location ever again. Me and my family LOVE Panera Bread, and were really disappointed by the way we were treated. When we were trying to put our dishes up in the correct bins, the employee wouldn't step out of the way, and I asked her if she wanted me to set it in the bin, and she gave me the worst attitude "ummm, yes, that's what it's there for".. Couldn't believe it!!! I confronted the manager, and he seemed like he could care less. The food wasn't that good either this time. Don't even get me started on the cashier, she was rude, no smile, no personality, I've never complained so much about a place. Usually I can understand if they are so busy, and maybe a little stressed, but that was unacceptable. All around huge let down for Panera Bread. read more

Had A big meeting.. ordered breakfast and lunch.. They brought Breakfast late. brought lunch late as well...Person taking my order does not know how to inform customers that they charge a arm and a leg for half sandwhich trays. when you need to order full sandwhiches. Some people in the meeting did not eat.. which makes me look bad because it recomended them... NEVER AGAIN!! read more

wonderful food, however there is almost always something missing in my order. I ordered the Sierra Turkey Sandwich and there was no chipotle mayo in it, which makes the sandwich taste 10x better. But other than that yummy food. Wish I hate chipotle mayo in my sandwich though :) read more

Food is good as always, this place is way too over crowded during lunch. The dining room has dishes piled up, floor was messy. The bathrooms are gross. The mangers seem to not want to be here. Noticed some disrespect between employees and managers. This place used to be a lot better, now it's honestly falling apart. Sad to see, used to be my favorite spot. read more

Oh my goodness!!! Favorite place to stop for some fresh food. Panera is such a lovely, peaceful environment. I go there a lot just to grab a tea and relax. Never have I went there and not been happy with my food. It's always SO hot and fresh. I highly recommend. It's a great price for the great food your getting. Enjoy read more
