Staff was friendly. The restaurant was overall clean. The new crossaint grilled cheese sandwich was good, just wish my slices didn't have missing pieces/holes. Walking distance to quite a few hotels in the area. read more

I ordered 2 bagel packs to pick up for a customer meeting. Request was ALL sliced. At pick up I was assured all were sliced. Arrived at meeting and not one bagel was sliced. No one had a knife. Totally not good. read more

So havnt been here or even to a Panera in ages and since I have had to return to the office a couple of days a month i thought I would stop in. Everything still pretty much the same except parking is even worse now that they have a drive thru. If you come over for lunch and want to sit inside on a weekday...good luck!!! So they don't have my go to anymore, sierra turkey so I landed on the deli ham in a pick 2 with cheddar n broccoli soup. The sandwich was really tasty. Very fresh and the mustard/ onion combo was nice. Lots of ham too. They haven't changed their cheddar n broccoli soup recipe. Still delicious. Love tearing up the bread and putting it in it. Line was not bad and food came out quick. Friendly folks. Quick service! Atmosphere feels the same but less khaki than in my days of working across the street but still a 'business' vibe. Looking forward to coming back on my in the office days and trying the other new stuff! read more

Very large Panera and very consistent to others we done in. The breakfast was on point lots of choices even at 9am. Very clean and nice location read more

Every Time I Go To Panera Bread I Get Their Tomato Bisque And Grilled Cheese Sandwich I Highly Recommend Panera Bread

I was both exhausted and ravenous; therefore, I failed to snap photos of my meal. This was one of the best Panera experiences to date. The restaurant was clean, the staff member was friendly and our meals were served correctly and quickly. Additionally, I ordered a Madagascar vanilla latte with almond milk and it was terrific! For my meal, I opted for a pick two to include the Asian crunchy chicken salad and Turkey chili and a baguette. I LOVE the vinaigrette on the salad. This meal was filling and proved to be what the doctor ordered after running a 10K. I highly recommend this location and would return when in the area again. read more

Horribly disappointed with this location. They can't even get an order of oatmeal correct. I didn't want the pecans or the cinnamon crunch and add blueberries. Quite simple to order via the app. Quite simple to make too if the person making it read the order and cared. Not so much! I will say that the papaya passion green tea is amazing! First time trying it but last time ordering anything from this location. I did call the store and spoke to someone who advised me that they would refund me for the oatmeal. It's a good thing since it ended up in the garbage. I'll still visit Panera from time to time but definitely not this store. read more

My son loves Panera but this was worst one we've ever visited. They got our order wrong so we asked they fix it. 15 minutes later we followed up and they said they thought someone had but they had miscommunicated, so here we go again. They then charged us another $13 despite having made errors twice before. Ultimately the grilled cheese meal had lumps of American slices just sitting globbed together on the plate and was not well toasted. Added bacon was literally a single strip. Worst Panera experience ever. read more

I had the pick 2, butternut squash soup and Greek Salad. They were both delicious except the soup was way too sweet for me.

Chunks of mold in their drinks, save your health and go somewhere else. Don't believe me? Check their health department checks and every month they have to come back a couple days later to pass inspection... meaning they can't pass inspection the first try! read more

Went to this panera today and ordered a caesar salad. i love there caesar salads and have had them many times. Usually if the croutons are a little state i say nothing and eat the salad but today was awful. The salad had lettuce that looked like it was 5 days old and the croutons felt like they were out for a week or so. They had no crunch to them and tasted awful. I expect everything to be good and healthy especially because I am paying 11 dollars for this salad. The manager was very accommodating and gave me a refund and even a new meal, which I still not impressed by. I definitely will not be returning to this panera anytime soon. read more

Skylar needs to chill with her attitude. food was pretty good though. better customer service would be nice

Just drove 27 hours from Denver to land in Clearwater. Panera app didn't work. Another problem. Went next door, hungry, haven't eaten 3 days. Super tired. Asked for deal on app. Instead of 2 for 1 chicken sandwich, 1 was double price. Of course I questioned this and said not right. Supposed manager Jessica came and dcreamed me out of the store. I'm 66 yrs old, not s kid. I was corporate AT&T most my life. I don't need any juvenile screaming at me for real questions when all I'm trying to do is eat Fire this bitch or I will escalate. read more

The food is good. Just please try and put the sandwiches together with a little thought. Mine was all over the place. They were in a hurry? When I went in idle people all over the place doing nothing. So that's clearly not the case. Sometimes the app doesn't take orders for this location which is a total pain. I'm convinced it's lazy people who shut the receiving machine off when they are busy, or want to close early. In fairness, when I do order ahead it's ready on the rack on time as promised. Now as to ambiance: I went to the desk and ordered two cookies and asked for a handle bag because I had a large order to carry a far distance in high humidity. You would have thought I stabbed my server in the eye with a knife. She looked inconvenienced and perturbed. Are you a manager? Stand there and watch quietly the people serving. I guarantee you not a single one offers a smile. It's free! Next employee review take a dollar an hour away for people who don't smile and genuinely thank the customer! Give the dollar to those that do! Here's another news flash I don't tip for counter service! This is fast food. That's all I got. Recommended: Green Goddess Cob extra dressing. read more

Update to call out improvements they've made to this location. There are many ways this location increased their efficiency that other lunch places should take note: 1. Remodeled to include a drive through 2. Rapid pick up. You place your order online and grab it off the shelf in the store. 3. They deliver. 4. They have iPad ordering system. These are all in addition to your normal counter interaction option. If you need a quick lunch, if you come here it is pretty much wham, bam, thank you m'am. Panera lists their calorie counts on their online menu, which my waistline appreciates. It scares me that their pastries range from 300-800 calories, but my body thanks them. I wish I could go back to being an ostrich with my head in the sand, but I chose the red pill (Matrix shout out!) The one con to this place is the parking can get horrific. You'll see cars parking in non-parking spots along the street. I don't think they get ticketed or towed, so it seems pretty safe that you'll find a "spot". I don't go out of my way to eat Panera, but I don't complain when people choose it for lunch. I think the food is decent and they've done a great job at giving you quick service in this store. read more

I'm giving this location 5 stars because I live in the neighborhood right behind it and all of these girls take great care of me. I know there are mixed reviews here, but if you look back, lots of them were when things still were not right after coVid. The only thing I don't like here is the app won't allow you to select drive through pickup for app orders, but I just saw a banner out front that maybe they changed that now?? Anyway, clean store, sweet workers, no complaints. read more

A TALE OF TWO SANDWICHES: 1) Mediterranean Veggie: Two slices tomato basil bread-very tasty and tender. Cilantro jalapeno hummus-potent, I always ask for a little less. Peppadew peppers-piquant and delicious. Romaine & arugula greens-mostly crisp, can be a tad wilted. Tomato-good flavor Cucumber-always extra-fresh Red onion-perfect amount Feta cheese-moist, crumbled goodness A well-constructed sandwich with flavors that meld perfectly (I always ask for a little less of the hummus as it can overwhelm the flavors). About $7.95; a good value. 2) Alleged Tuna Salad Sandwich: Two thick and dry hunks of peppered Ciabatta bread Tomato-decently fresh Lettuce-usually wilted and sometimes brown Red onion-OK Tuna salad-So little salad on the sandwich it almost can't even be CALLED a sandwich! Zero mayo or any other condiment, meaning, it's dryer than the Mojave Desert. If I served this to my guests, they'd have every right to throw it back in my face. It is an embarrassment. At $7.95, it is a rip-off and a waste of money. Panera has many tasty food items on their menu. The alleged tuna fish sandwich is NOT one of them. read more

I've been to this Panera bread a few times and it has been disappointing every time. Last time the food tasted very average. Today we went to get a quick breakfast at 9:50am and apparently they ran out of quite a few things, including croissant. How do you run out of croissant this early in Saturday morning when this isn't a busy location. The toasted bagel wasn't toasted as well. This location is definitely poor as compared to other locations. read more

Not even sure this is a slight upgrade to hospital cafe food. Used to like this place like 10 years ago but now I'm convinced they just throw some scraps in between two pieces of bread and call that a quality sandwich. Assuming this isn't specific to this location but definitely applies to it. Also - do not order pick up. They kept the doors locked so you couldn't go in to pick it up. Instead, you have to wait in the drive thru line, not sure what the point of that is. Also, since when did they get a drive thru? Seems to reflect the quality of Panera pretty well these days. read more

I stopped in here late Wednesday afternoon after working most of the day for a little something to tide me over before dinner and also for some life giving caffeine. This Panera was pretty nice inside - and spacious to boot. Lots of different kinds of seating: regular tables and chairs, comfy couches and matching chairs with coffee tables, high bar style tables with stools. A number of people were in Panera using the free Wifi internet access. I asked if they had any low fat baked goods or pastries. They were all out of the one item they normally carry - a low fat blueberry muffin. So instead I elected to try the Tart Cherry Scone, and a double espresso. Wow! The scone was delic! I could have eaten a dump truck full of those! Absolutely yummy! I may have to go in search of those again! :-) read more

Went through the drive-thru this morning and asked what kind of muffins they have. The girl replied, "same as we have everyday." Well, I wouldn't know because I don't come to your establishment everyday, and now I have good reason not to. read more

I come here once every few weeks if I am having a late night at work. I will eat dinner and wrap up my day. I always have trouble connecting to the WiFi so I use my portable MiFi. It might be use error but it shouldn't be too complicated to connect to WiFi. I'm a millennial, so I always appreciate being able to order online or at a kiosk. You can order at the counter but I always use the iPad kiosks. They are easy to use and I dont have to wait in line. I always get the pick 2 with broccoli cheese soup and frontera chicken sandwich. You can enter your phone number to use your loyalty card. With you loyalty card, if you get a drink with your pick 2, you can pick from a list of desserts for $0.99. They have Pepsi products! The inside is always clean and food is always ready timely. The drive thru is convenient and doesn't take as long as you would think. The parking lot is too small and fills up fast. read more

Ordered ahead and paid on the app so I could swing in and pick up dinner without hassle. When I got there the door was locked there was a sign that said drive-through or call us and will bring it out. Figured I'd flip through the drive-through however there were several cars in line so I asked them to bring it out and they said, no we're short staffed. Understandable but my question is why did I bother to order and pay ahead if I have to wait while my food gets cold to get it out of the window I should've ordered it at the speaker and had hot food instead. When I got to the window the so-called "manager" was there and I said, "what is the point of me ordering ahead if I have to wait in the drive-through to pick up my order if you won't bring it out." She probably told me, "don't come back". I said, "excuse me?! I would like to talk to your manager." Gal behind the glass, "I am the manager." Me, " I would like your name then" gal, " I don't have to tell you anything!" So I told her I'd take her picture instead and threw me my food and she ran away. Promptly filed a corporate complaint. It's a reasonable question - why order ahead of it's not an actual available service?! Why not just say, drive thru only? Meanwhile my food is up and getting cold. But you want me to not come back. Fine! And to top it off, my sandwich doesn't even have any toppings on it! SMH Panera! read more

I had read some bad reviews but they were old so I decided to try this place. The food was awful. Their French onion soup was my all time worst. Served in a wide mouth bowl. Not in a crock. No cheese layered on top then broiled until melted like 100% of the other places that serve the soup. French onion soup is nothing without the thick melted cheese floating on top. Instead this place had five one inch shreds about one sixteenth of an inch wide and just floating around. As a result 99% of the soup did not have any cheese. Add to this their BLT sandwich. Again, worst Ive ever had. Tomatoes were mush. Maybe had one three inch piece of bacon. Bread was cold and stale. Awful. Neither me or my friends will ever go back. As a side note they charged $8.90 for a simple loaf of bread. Our lunch for two was over $30. That's for 1/2 sandwich and small bowl of soup. The final insult was asking you to tip the cashier. Stop this rip off. Pay your employees. Don't expect us to pay them. read more

I have a hate love relationship with this Panera. I always find myself coming back because I am a big fan of their French onion soup. Their rapid pickup is efficient, the drive through is convenient, and the workers are pretty friendly. However, the last two or three times I've been, the French baguette is stale! And that's my favorite part! Also the soup often comes out cold, with a clump of not really melted cheese sitting on the bottom. read more

Well run, clean Panera Bread. It was busy at lunch time, but my order was prepared promptly and correctly. My chocolate chip cookie for desert was freshly baked and still warm from the oven. It is a little expensive for lunch, but given that they serve healthier food than fast food, that can be excused from time to time. read more

This Panera has amazing customer service. Really really nice employees. They recognize us, We go there all the time.

We ordered online for an office lunch meeting. The order was accurate and packaged well for delivery. They had added extra sauces which was nice. Excellent service and we will order our office lunches from them again. read more

Panera Bread - 2 great combos!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Panera is just one of those places that you know its an oldie but goodie! 5 years ago I moved to Tampa Florida and discovered Panera and a magical world opened up to me. They've got Yummy pastries, hot cookies, atrisan bread, sandwiches, salad and soup in bread bowls. If you don't want a bread bowl you can always op for a tiny loaf of delicious bread with your soup. This particular location is closest to where I work right off of Ulmerton Road soon as you exit 275. The staff is always very friendly even when its early in the morning. The restaurant is always super clean the bathrooms are immaculate and the food is always on point. They have a conference room with doors where you can hold meetings at, wifi and plenty of outlets if you need to bring your laptop or any other mobile device that needs charging. All around I have to say that I pretty much like it better than Starbucks oh my gosh! They have more space than the general Starbucks the lighting is brighter the atmosphere is a little more friendlier and if you haven't been to a Panera I have no idea what rock you been living under. Its awesome! read more

So beyond frustrated! I placed a delivery order with Panera bread at 11:29 got notice it would be delivered later than expected at 12:30 no issue....I get a "bot" notice at 11:52 that my food is out for delivery with door dash. OK cool....tracker app keeps stating 4 mins out. 1PM I call store they tell me I have to call dash driver directly. So I do and the woman is RUDE as all get out, "Eimi" barely speaks English and is yelling at me that I have the wrong address (I looked at my order it's clearly stated and proper address complete with suite number and description on where it is on building) mind you she has my phone number too and could have called me if she was confused. I give her my address she repeats it back to me like 5 times then a total nonsense address not even close to what I told her and nowhere near my address is recited back to me I said NO my address is... and she repeated it back to me. I called back to Panera asking how do I cancel the order or have it re-sent they said they need to call door dash and have it refunded re-place order and re-deliver....Fine whatever so stupid that a business doesn't stand behind their products enough to make it right for a customer that orders weekly. Put me on hold....15 mins later still on hold with Panera it's 1:09 and Get a text that my dasher is here - NOPE not here. Panera will not refund me because it's a 3rd party - are you kidding me...They come back on and tell me I'm 2nd order that has not been received by same driver....perhaps there is a problem here!?!?! I asked if they can please just re-send my order they said no I need to cancel it. My result Order Cancellation - Cancel Unsuccessful We're sorry, but we are no longer able to cancel your order. A 15 minute lead time is required for cancellation of Rapid Pick-Up orders and a 35 minute lead time for delivery orders. 1 hour may be required for third party delivery or larger orders. Please contact our customer support center at 855-3-PANERA (855-372-6372) to speak with a live operator for further assistance. Thankfully lady at store was able to cancel it. But really how hard would it be to have a new order made and sent out as a courtesy to your loyal customers that you now permanently lost due to a 3rd party screwup. If I was able to leave my building I'd drive over there myself I would have done that to begin with. read more

My Tomato Mozzarella Asiago cheese sandwich was delicious. The green agave tea lemonade was so supremely healthy and tasty too! I love how you can basically mix and match any tea you want. They have 5-6 different tea machines brewing and churning different flavors. They also have traditionally tea bags and about 5 different jars of this. They also have a jar full of Splenda and natural cane sugar free to customers to use. My friends soup salad bowl was not very tasty though. And his side bread was very small. But the customer service was excellent so I gave this place a 4 1/2 but they only do four or five stars so 5 it is! read more

I love Panera! Theirs broccoli and cheese soup is to die for! The tomato basil is what you crave on a winter day (but this is Florida, so not much chance there). Their sandwiches and panini are delicious. So today I decided to try a salad, something different. I got the Thai Chicken salad. It sounded fresh and inviting and especially the dressing. When I got back to work, I drizzled one of the dressing on my salad. I was disappointed! The dressing was the strangest and had a strong ginger flavor. It was way over powering! I could hardly eat and enjoy my salad. Wasted almost $10 on a whole salad. All I ate were the beans and the chicken and a few of the lettuce that didn't have the dressing on them. Had it been more of a peanut flavor I would have devoured it for sure. Next time I'll still give it a go, but not with the dressing it comes with. read more

Panera is Panera is Panera. Great food and coffee. Clean restaurant. This is a good one because the employees are nice. There's turkey chili on the menu right now that is just phenomenal. You must try it before it's off the menu. The reason this one is a 4 for me is getting to it is just so awkward that I rarely choose it over others. read more

A very expensive half salad with 1/3 of the leaves were wilted and brown. Also one of the strawberries look like it was molding. Some pieces I understand were pink because of the strawberries. But this was brown and gross. The blueberries and chicken breast were the only thing worth eating. Panera used to provide quality food. The chowder was good. Not sure if I'll go back, to spend $11 on 4 ozs of soup and a small salad is not a good value. Especially when it's not edible. read more

This is one of my go to lunch spots and been going here for a very long time now. The service is pretty fast and the place is always clean. Till date(5 plus years) they never messed up any of my orders. It gets super packed during lunch time and parking is always a pain during those hours. The drive thru and online ordering eased the pain little but still the place gets swamped. The staff is always helpful and friendly. My favorite combos are soup and salad/soup and sandwich. Also they always give you extra bread as side if you just ask. read more

I have been to many Panera's, and this location is one of the best I have been to. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. They always give you extra bread free of charge if you ask! There is ample seating (this is a rather large location) but it gets very crowded from 11:30am-1pm due to the work week lunch hour. There are a few umbrella tables outside as well. The food quality here is solid and fresh. I like to place my order online so I can easily customize my order and use their "rapid pick-up" system to just get in and get out when picking up. I have ordered here 20+ times and my salad has always been correctly made! Kudos!! This Panera Bread was recently remodeled and a drive-thru window was added. They have added iPad ordering systems and they now deliver! The parking lot gets crowded during the lunch rush, but it has improved since the remodel. All in all, this is a solid Panera location with quick and friendly service. read more

I love most Panera. The wait time is minimal and the food is always good with polite staff. Super convent location to the business offices I had to work at.
