We all know Panera. Just like many restaurants, there are good ones, great ones, and normal places. This location usually gets it right. It can get busy at meal times so beware. But whatever you fave from Panera they will get it right for you. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating too! read more

Past few times has been a disappointment. Ordered Togo and the whole order was wrong when I got to where I was going. The sandwich's weren't on the bread that's was requested or the correct meat. No spoons for the soup and no chips. Today they gave me half of my son's kids meal and I ordered a bowl of soup and it's half empty. For $20 you'd think you'd get a little more. read more

4 of us ordered salad. All salads were to have romaine lettuce and they said they were out of it. Poor planning and reduced experience Baguettes were tough but not quite stale. Salad was insufficient. read more

We went here because we were given a gift certificate. I didn't know much about Panera, thought it was primarily a retail bagel type place. The southwest chicken salad and but on tomato basil bread were quiet good, and reasonably priced. This is a clean , spacious location with a lot of windows. There were many what appeared to be high school seniors about, many using wifi, all pleasant enough, no trouble makers. No tip extortion, bravo ! read more

This location is okay. Not as bad as the reviews make it seem. Bread isn't very fresh, it often tastes a little stale. However, overall food qualitynis decent. Service is good, staff are quick and always try their best to fix mistakes. They have a quiet study room with lots of outlets to charge your computer. Its a decent place to study and grab a bite. read more

When and if they ever have a full menu, it seems the always out. Maybe stick to bread and pastries. Lunch not bad when you get salad and sandwiches combo. Need better drink options. read more

The drinks taste like no one ever washes out the pots/containers. Many times out of food and or supplies. Doesn't seem like managers or employees are interested in service. read more

Got to be one of the worst Paneras there is. No drive through, and literally every single visit I come in the ice machine has no ice, and the drinks come out of the machine lukewarm and disgusting. I'm not even kidding I've come here like a dozen different times within the past few months to use my Sip Rewards benefits. Hopefully this review will help get the franchise to fix these things. read more

Great food. Great environment and music. High prices though! Good coffee also, service was okay!

I always like coming to Panera,especially when I'm in the mood for a big salad and the Chicken Fuji Apple salad is my favorite. I wish Panera would keep it on their menu all the time instead of having it as a seasonal item. My daughter had the 1/2 Tuna sandwich with a 1/2 bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. We think they must whip the tuna instead of mixing it, because it's always light and fluffy. It's also a favorite of ours. My granddaughter had the Mac and Cheese and a Strawberry Yogurt. I'm sure if she was old enough to speak, she'd would say it was delicious. She ate 1/2 the bowl quick. Paneras in Clermont is always crowded, but the restaurant is always clean, the service was fast and the staff is friendly. read more

Great food! Too many options to choose! I love Panera Bread! I recommend it! Great service!

The employees weren't the friendliest. Beyond that, food came out quickly and unlike some locations they didn't make the sandwiches skimpy read more

The perfect place to work outside of the office. I like to grab a booth, yummy parfait and a hot hazelnut coffee to get some work completed. Staff is always friendly and keeps the place nice and clean. read more

I have no idea why we keep ordering from this place. I'm posting what they sent today. The manager offered to remake the sandwiches but we had to drive to the restaurant to pick them up. But I asked for a refund, which she told me could take up to 10 days. I'm done with this place. I hope Panera corporate closes it down. If it could get a zero star that's what they would get. read more

This is what Panera charged $13.19 for a whole Steak and cheese sub sandwich on Mother's Day. Either they are just plain crooks or the employees are not well educated in reading orders and making sandwiches. read more

Panera Bread - Clermont, FL Awful service from the female cashier at the cash register on 8-25-2023. I spoke with a team lead which was very nice & he took my order. I did a survey and complained on the rude cashier and the Assistant Manager Codey Whitehead emailed me and promised me a $10 voucher which I have not received by mail nor email yet. I emailed him back and no reply! Horrible service from Panera Bread - Clermont, FL! read more

Almost perfect. We love their monthly free drinks. Breads are too pricey.

There are always Long lines due to not having enough help. While waiting in line I watched en employee replenish the half and half. He put new product into a dirty container rather than Getting a new container from the kitchen. This goes against serve safe procedures. read more

Lunchtime has few non-burger national chain venues, KFC, Arby's, Taco Bell ah yea Subway so maybe "upscale" is better suited to the statement. I know Panera has come on strong in recent years. Good soup, Good Bagels, and good sandwiches. The concept is certainly directed towards the health conscious and typically female demographic. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It wasn't my first choice but you can't always get what you want. The soup was hot and tasty, my avocado turkey blt was good. Like a sandwich a friend might make to impress me. Thanks foodguy-martin read more

This location served us breakfast 30 minutes after breakfast ended. Their customer support nailed it today. We are super happy customers who will continue to visit this location. Try the egg white, cheese and ham sandwich...a favorite of ours. Sammies are about $6. They have great hot chocolate too. My all time favorite are the raspberrt thumbprint cookies!! I could eat the allllllll. Try one for a dollar and a half. If you don't like it, you can give it to me!! :) read more

Used to work here. Very dirty in the kitchen. Barely passed health inspection. They never listen to availability and schedule requests. I was part time and am a minor! Quit after a month because of how rude the managers were, even to customers. Do not apply . read more

This review is specifically about the Chicken Asian Crunch Salad. They should change the name to Chicken Gristle Salad. The chicken was some dark meat (maybe thighs). Most of the pieces had chewy skin on them and lots of gristle. It went straight to the garbage. It was totally inedible. The dressing is extremely tart or possible wasn't mixed thoroughly but like it's chicken ingredient was inedible. I really liked the Asian Sesame chicken salad but it was not on the menu. There were signs all around explaining lettuce shortage but all the lettuce they listed was in abundance at the grocery store so it makes you wonder. Anyway, I would shy away from the Gristle salad. read more

Witnessed a full out verbal argument between the manager and an employee he was firing for blatantly discriminatory reasons. I grew up in Clermont, and spent 19 years of grade school, high school, and college in this very location. Came back to this Panera tonight to study in a corner booth near the kitchen entrance. Overheard the manager telling "Austin" to "go home" out in the open in the food preparation area, which he seemed shocked at. The assistant manager joined in screaming "you're not doing anything, GTFO". He came back later, and the hilarity ensued with a full on verbal fight fully fueled in by the management's blatant temper tantrum. I have a lot of childhood memories in this place, and spent a lot of my younger years here, but I think I'll be going to the one in Winter Garden going forward when I'm in town. They seem to be a bunch of unprofessional drug users at this point, which is a shame. Makes me wonder what other shady stuff goes on here..... read more

Went inside for a quick breakfast yesterday. Tried ordering two different things but they were already out of breakfast items at 9 AM. Staff is super friendly and apologetic about running out of things so early on in the day. I ended up ordering a chocolate croissant and tea. They have a self serve area for coffee and there's a microwave if you want to warm up your food or pastries, so I heated up my croissant. It was flakes and very flavorful. Filled with chocolate and drizzled on the outside as well. For next time, I guess I'll have to show up early early before the sun rise to get some of the hot breakfast options. Local to my home, so will definitely be giving another try in the future. read more

I am so disappointed with this experience, I stopped in on my way to work for a bowl of Oatmeal and a cup of coffee , there was no one in line and I ordered right away , I walked to the back to wait to get my food and waited for 10 minuets , and I finally inquired when my food would be ready , the worker said they were working on it, 5 minuets later I asked what the hold up was , considering they just microwave it and put it in a to go bowl, she finally got around to making it and she put the wrong toppings on it, I then told her never mind and I went up front to get a refund , when I told the manager she rolled her eyes at me , never apologized and just gave me a refund . read more

Very disappointed with service! We stayed in line for 6 Minutes they had quite a few employees and none of them acknowledged us to come over and help! I had to call one of the attendants to come over and help me! An absurd! Food is great as any other Panera, but for service this Panera got zero! read more

Thank you Panera for offering yummy food safely. Everyone wears masks and seating is distanced. Always my choice for good food and great service! read more

I just love this Panera Bread restaurant. On week days, I come to get my tea and my sweet treat and on weekend I bring my family for pizza. Our fav is the yummy Chitople pizza with sauce on the side. Our fav manager is Zach , he always makes us and all customers feel so welcomed . He is the best! Highly recommend this place to everyone!! read more

Unfortunately today was an off day for this location. I ordered a small coffee and an egg sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun. I asked for the bun to be buttered and they said yes we can do that.. i gave a big tip which i was surprised was a new choice on the cc reader. So I was generous with the tip. There was no acknowledgement of the tip, no thank you..they were not busy today so my sandwich was ready quickly. As they gave it to me they said oh we aren't allowed to put butter on the bread you have to and gave me the little frozen blocks of butter.. he said the bread should still be warm so they may melt on it. So i took the sandwich and realized the bread Wasn't warm and the cheese was cold and not melted like the picture and the butter didn't melt. To top it off something tasted spoiled it may have been the cheese. I had sat outside so I went back in after one bite to talk to the manager and they were getting a little busy and with no acknowledgement I threw the sandwich away and left. So sorry I wish they had said we can't put butter on the sandwich and it won't be hot or melted like the picture and I would have had the cheese danish which is always delicious! Its a training issue. read more

Great food, great services always, esp Daniel is the best. He remembers his customers, always is friendly and helpful

Overall, the food is very good and I have never had a problem. But over the 6/7 years I've been coming to this place, they are always out of bagels or soufflé. It's very disappointing. But I would recommend coming here if that's not what you eat. I've also noticed that they are out of romaine salad. read more

As my mom and i walked in, we scanned the menu and thought we were ready to order, i asked for a cuban with a cesar salad, they didn't have romaine lettuce or the cuban, i quickly decided to go with something easy, i went with the bacon melt. she tried to get a salad and still no romaine lettuce, then we asked for their famous cookies, they didn't have any. then the lady was a little rude saying in a snarky way "it was a busy day" not apologizing or anything... then we sat down to eat and my bacon melt was awful. her salad was fine but that's how the night went... read more

Definitely one of the better Paneras that I've been to! My food has always been good and I like the outdoor space. The bathrooms are just usually pretty gross; I definitely think they should hire someone to keep up with this as I've seen in other Paneras. read more

This was your typical setup for a Panera Bread. It was convenient though since it was near the hotel. I didn't like that I was given a buzzer while waiting for the food. It led to the person yelling my name in an irritable tone since my family was engaged in conversation. read more

First of all -- in general, we love Panera; love the food and coffee. We don't have one close by our home, so it's been a treat for us, while visiting family, to have a Panera right in the neighborhood; we've been getting breakfast here on an ongoing basis. (Favorite breakfast items include the Mediterranean egg-white sandwich and the steak breakfast sandwich.) What I've noticed in this particular establishment, though, is a general lack of friendliness/sense of unhappiness among the staff; it seems to be true no matter what time of day we stop in. Sometimes this manifests in surliness -- this morning, for instance, I got attitude from one of the young kitchen staff when I (reasonably) went to the counter and requested a box for leftovers. At other times it's more like a general malaise. Believe me, I understand that working a minimum-wage job with rush-hour/lunch-hour stress is not a picnic in the park, and I don't blame the employees (well...not most of them); but maybe the chain or this franchise needs to give its boots-on-the-ground people some positive affirmation and incentive to provide cheerful service. Down the street at Starbucks we've always had very positive experiences interacting with staff; just sayin'. read more

This Clermont, FL location Panera should really pay closer attention to orders placed via the kiosk. Instead of standing in line, we'd thought to use the kiosk and pay, and then just wait for our order to be called. We placed our order, and when we received our bag, they left out 3 items. We ordered a Mitten Cookie 6-Pack, a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bagel, and cream cheese spread. Those items were missing from our bag, the cookies alone were $12.00! When we approached the staff to let them know some items were missing, we were treated as if we were being a bother! Some people really do need to fix their face, when dealing with the general public. We weren't asking for anything above and beyond what we ordered... we just wanted what we paid for, so how are we an inconvenience. Please don't blame staffing, as the place was filled with employees, and it wasn't truly that busy. Bottom line... .ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER IF YOU ARE TAKING AWAY. read more

Big thumbs down on this Panera Bread. I asked them where they were on the phone and the guy said directly across from Starbucks!!! Could not find them for the life of me. Turns out right across the street is a mile down the road!!!! I get there 20 minutes later. I scan my card then make my order two minutes later. I ask the clerk ROBERT if my card scanned and he said sure it did. I placed my order and guess what....It did not scan!!! My last time at this Panera Bread!!!! read more

First, it's a little hard to Dis Panera Bread. There food is great, just bit pricey. The reason I write about this one, is that a group and I meet here weekly. There are about 10 of us if not more. What is the downer to this place is that there is a room for groups. In the months that I have been coming here, it is never used and yet management won't allow us to use it unless we purchase so much food with an agreement... With 10 of us and their prices, we probably spend at lease $60 if not more. As a group we talked about the room and realized that if we were a penny short that management would come down on us... We agreed at a group that we assume take up a large area in the main eatery and be a burden due to managements stance. So every week we watch people come in and walk away due to the place being packed, not to mention the group of women occupying a good hunk of a corner of eatery while there is a room for groups sits vacant... So heads up... this place would look less "packed" if management would allow the ladies to use the vacant room few hours on Monday. Oh and the other bummer... takes through forever to get your order together! Parking is limited when the place is packed and it also shares the lot with another business. read more

Very clean and very friendly staff. I always enjoy some quiet time while looking at the view.
