No complaints with our quick stop at this location. Helpful friendly service. Tried the new avocado toast. I think I would have liked the bread to be a little thicker bc I love paneras bread. It's not gourmet avo toast but a decent quick bite. read more

Panera Bread - Classic Avo - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I think my picture tells a thousand words but if it doesn't... This watery greasy oily slop that they filled half way and sloshed around for me was luke warm at best. The cheese was gross and in one glob. Lacked onions. The croutons may have been the best part and they weren't great. Panera Bread is so expensive for such crappy food. read more

Panera Bread - Bistro French Onion Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

So we pull off the expressway specifically to come to Panera bread. We don't want to eat fast food and Panera is always a winner. Every single time forever... Until today. We walk in in this location is kind of dirty and disorganized on the outside and the inside. Go to order our food and she says they're out of this bread and they're out of that bread. So every sandwich I choose is not really available as it's described on the menu. We want to get salad, but they're out of Romain lettuce. They're also out of some of the soups. She says I'm really really sorry it was like this yesterday. So I'm gonna have a soup. I didn't really want so I can get back on the road. Ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous. Each and every person going to the counter is going through the same thing. Having to choose one of the limited things left on the menu. How could this possibly be? Going to the restroom was an adventure in itself. In the vestibule between the restrooms, there was trash and paper towels on the floor. Once you enter the men's restroom, there was at least a dozen pieces of paper towel and toilet paper strewn about. The floors, counters and toilets look like they haven't been Cleaned ever. There was a couple lightbulbs out in cobwebs in the one that was working. As we were getting ready to leave, I went over and spoke to a gentleman wearing a fleece zip up with tons of pet hair on it. I asked him if he was Rob the manager as it said on the door. He said he was. I pulled him aside and said what the hell is going on here? He seemed confused and then I started telling him all of the things that had gone wrong at this visit to Panera. He said he was terribly sorry he doesn't have any help. He said he does everything at the store which I found incredulous because I could see three other employees working with him there. Most of them were about and not doing anything to clean up or Address any of these things I was seeing. He knows that it was a terrible experience and tried to offer me some free food. I didn't want any more of the free food there because the place was really disgusting. Like I said, kind of embarrassed we even stayed here, but we were just so damn hungry. Super easy to see that this is a management and supervisory issue. Nobody's keeping an eye on the ball. It was so so different than any experience we've ever had at any other Panera ever. read more

It seems like Panera has been going down hill for a while now. I don't know how many times I have ordered something just to discover when they are out of an ingredient, they simply leave it off without comment. Tonight was apparently no different. We ordered a couple of Caprese sandwiches with apples as a side. If the sandwiches had the balsamic vinaigrette as advertised, you couldn't taste it. I know it sounds like a pretty minor thing but the balsamic vinaigrette adds a lot of flavor......but only if it's include. Got back to the hotel just to discover that they didn't bother to include the apples either. I guess I should have known better, this is what I have come to expect from Panera. read more

Most of the time a visit to Panera is a well-oiled machine, so I'm not sure how this place gets it so wrong. This location has been a frequent stopping point as we drive to visit family, but has consistently been disappointing recently. The restaurant is often dirty - tables that need to be wiped off, floors that need to be vacuumed, and restrooms that need attention. I always have Clorox wipes handy since we travel with a messy toddler, but it's still unnerving to wonder when the last time was that the eating area was thoroughly cleaned as we set our trays down. On our last visit ("last" meaning both "most recent" as well as "last time we will come here"), they twice got my order wrong, first adding mayo to a sandwich where I had explicitly customized "No Mayo" (with the receipt to prove it), and then re-making the same sandwich without many of the vegetables that come on it (and which I had not customized to leave off). I didn't even bother to bring the second mess-up to their attention. The staff blew me off when I first brought up the sandwich with Mayo, and seemed irritated that I wanted it re-made without it. That visit was the last straw. We have not stopped at this location since, and have been pleased with another restaurant just down the road that offers similar menu items but with a clean restaurant and friendly and courteous staff. read more

Love the beverage club deal and always me to get up to 7 free drinks per day for $11/month. That is huge. A soup and sandwich or bagel or salad hits the spot on getting the some business back for the great stop they provide. Warm and comfy. Mature place of people too. read more

Panera Bread - Delicious tomato soup and Greek salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

filthy and overpriced. when I went to sit down, there were several different plates simply left there, but that's not the only thing. every crevice of this location is pure filth. it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in 6 months. same with the kitchen, which I caught a glimpse of. it looks gross and dirty. I don't even know how the workers work in that condition. as for the food, extremely mediocre. it's all frozen and thrown in a heater device, as it is with all panera locations. the baguette I got was pretty good, and the green tea was decent. my silverware was dirty. this location randomly closes sometimes, likely due to health code violations, if I could assume. I hope it closes for good. read more

10 of us had lunch catered at work from Panera. This review is on the food that was delivered. It was on time, fresh and they delivered a nice selection of sandwiches. They also brought a couple salads, cookies, chips and condiments. The salad was a nice mix of greens, tomatoes, onions and had a good basaltic dressing. Sandwiches were actually two sandwiches in a packet, nobody goes hunger here! Fresh bread, tomatoes, lettuce and onion. It's a good thing! read more

We just left Panera. My first spoon for my soup had food on it...nasty! I asked for a clean one...and got another nasty one. Really.. then the mens bathroom covered in pee and no papertowels..people were notified just not sure if they really care. We need more people that care about there job and want to do right. read more

Panera Bread - Dirty spoon..the second one covered in what appears to be dried on cheese...just gross. -_- - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Third time having Panera this week while traveling. I onviously enjoy the food but this location was incredibly bad tonight. The mac and cheese was barely warm so I asked for it to be warmed up. I was told I had to go use the microwave since they couldn't take food back. I took a bite of my sandwich and didn't notice the onion that should be on it. I had onion chunks/petals. I asked if I could get sliced onion and was offered more chunks. Plus for a place that requires employees to wear masks, they need to be over both the mouth and nose to be effective. read more

Panera Bread - 'Sliced' onions - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

The service was really good. We came in and was welcomed right away. We did come in at a point in which it was slower. The food came out quick and it was delicious. The inside was clean and well kept. The only negative is the price. The food is good but pricy. read more

I went in here constantly as I was living in the hotel next door for a training I was doing for a job for about a month. I always got food from here whether it be breakfast lunch or dinner. The employees were always nice. The seating was comfortable. The food was good. Everything you expected from a Panera Bread. read more

I'm sorry to say that my order was not correct. My daughter had ordered delivery for me. The order was incorrect because I had ordered a sausage bagel without aioli and egg; the sandwich only had cheese no sausage. I'm at work so I could not take it back. However, I spoke to the manager who graciously removed the charge but offered NO apology. Unfortunately, this is the only Panera close to my workplace. Very disappointed; I needed the protein. read more

Did a stop by on a road trip as you expect certain standards at a Panera. The place was almost empty and there wasn't a clean table in the facility. Stood there and had to ask someone to take our order. They screwed up the order for 4 people . Of course the bathroom was out of toilet paper too. There were 4 employees who didn't seem busy at all so the whole situation seemed unreasonable. read more

Typical visit to Panera. Now they have buzzer to tell you when your food is ready. I ordered the u pick two- turkey bacon and avacado on sour dough bread and broccoli chedder soup. Everything was yummy. read more

A visit to this out of town Panera confirms they are popular and fresh and consistent everywhere, and that's the way we like it. This was a busy and friendly lunch place. We had a frontega chicken panini and a asiago steak sandwich. So the winning can't-go-wrong routine for a visit to Dayton: go to the awesome National Museum of the USAF, then come to this convenient location near the intersections of I-75 and I-70 for a meal before heading home. read more

I do not wish this experience at Panera Bread to anyone. I'd give this negative stars if possible! When a team member (when asked the name given was Jessica) made my food I noticed she threw the sandwich box in the bag causing the sandwich to spill into the bag. I asked for a new one and got a HUGE attitude where she proceeded to ask why I wanted a new sandwich made. She made a new one-- and her negative demeanor towards me made me return the entire order for my money back for the principle of it. Everyone is entitled to a bad day.. but being rude to customers is absolutely unacceptable. read more

Went there so many times LESS THEN 24 hours between every time Ordering THE same think every morning 50+ times I order same thing I wanna say over 20 different prices Sometime cheaper sometime more exp But never stick with same price ‍ I'm sorry that I'm living W 2 min away and that's easy for me to go there But that's ridiculous read more

I am a frequent patron of Panera Bread. I have only been to this location on a few occasions and the food has always been great. My issue isn't with the food quality and if you like the food you will pay the price of whatever you choose. I had ordered a half salad and soup, both of which were good, but I added avocado to my salad for $1.00. When I received my salad there was literally one slice of avocado for that Dollar. I understand restaurants have to control costs however this is down right cheap! I guess a Dollar really doesn't buy much these days unless you are McD's or Wendy's. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

They were out of a whole bunch of stuff. They seemed to be understaffed. The people that were working were trying hard but seemed to lack training. A very unusual Panera experience but we have noticed it more recently. Wonder if Miller Lane labor pool is saturated? read more

The staff members at this restaurant have been kind. They don't take too long to prepare the meal. The food tastes good. read more

This location is right off the freeway and knowing the standard menu makes it a great choice while traveling, especially with kids. We stopped in for lunch and were greeted by friendly staff and a clean store. We are all a fan of the U-Pick Two, we each chose a soup and salad. Love the chicken ceaser, broccoli cheddar soup, and garden salad. This location didn't do the buzzer but it was not very busy when we stopped. Bathrooms were nice and clean, so good to take a break after a long time on the road. Tables were clean and the overall setup of the place was nice to we weren't crowded at all. read more

Very good food. It tasted fantastic!! And the staff was very respectful and helpful. I would give it five stars for food and service. The reason why I gave it 3 stars is the environment. The floor is littered with scraps and paper, while the trash cans are full and no room to stack your dishes on the overflowing towers of plates and bowls. The bathrooms are the same way, too many paper towels are in that trash can, that if you try to put another on top, it frequently ends up on the floor. If it was a busy time, I would believe that would be the cause, but there may have been only 15 people in the restaurant. read more

Fresh food and good service, the healthier menu is popular, but so are the baked goods. Coffee and a sweet roll, or a complete meal, they got you covered. read more

Panera on miller lane is CONSISTENTLY worse than any other Panera I visit. The rolls are stale, the food almost looks different than other locations. The main manager is stuck up and snooty seemingly. Would prefer driving an extra 20 minutes for the Troy location. -1 Star if possible read more

Great food and service but the lines at lunch time can get long. They could really use the portable buzzers at this location to indicate when your order is ready. But the staff is very attentive. I enjoy coming here despite the long lines. read more

Panera Bread - Expect long lines at lunch time - Sandwiches Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

My salad today was not at all as described on the menu. I ordered a Caesar salad & it was not romaine lettuce. The Parmesan was not fresh grated Parmesan & I was very disappointed. Will never order again. Very poor salad & it should match the menu at least. read more

A solid PB for sure. The staff is great and they are very helpful. The food is prepared fast and as fresh as a PB can be. It's always clean and well maintained. The location is great just off I-75 so easy off easy on. Also close to many of the hotels on Miller Lane. If you like/love PB then stop by this location. You will not be disappointed. read more

If they weren't the only one within a five minute drive of my work, I'd probably consider going elsewhere. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I place an order online, they NEVER get it right! I prefer my dressings for my sandwiches to be on the side. I ALWAYS get the sandwich with ZERO dressing. I just don't understand WHY they cannot read clear instructions set by THEIR system! I'm tired of calling to complain. It's so simple to place the order, and allows for zero mistakes by either party,yet here we are! read more

This store needs some serious help. It needs cleaned up and it needs staff that cares about their job. Walked in tonight to get a bite to eat granted it was quarter till nine, but the cashier was laying on the front counter playing on her phone and ignoring with the manager was telling her to do. Completely unacceptable and water all over the drink station counter their food was taken off of the bagel racks and laying on the counter and the manager kept telling him to do things and they ignored her. Unacceptable you need to be hiring people who want to work read more

when i went there the food was good but there was a employee that was rude because we got a water and filled it with soda cause we didn't know where the water was keep in mind this was after we paid over 30 dollars for food when we went to get our food the lady that looked trans insisted that we paid for the drinks and she yelled at us and said we couldn't have our food unless we paid for it so we pay another 6 dollars for 2 more drinks and the lady yells "don't give them bigger cups they already have cups" the lady that was ringing us up was so nice a deserved more tbh read more

What happened to this location? My bagel today was dry and the walnut cream cheese has been changed to a brand that doesn't use walnuts ... maybe walnut flavoring but there were no walnuts in my little container of frozen cream cheese. read more

They are beyond stingy with their mixed berry yogurt here. Not at all like all the rest.

very dissatisfied cost me 16.00 for a grilled cheese and a small macaroni and cheese they don't make the grilled cheese like they use to and the macaroni tasted like it had been sitting all day I got no silver ware or napkins with my to go order I will not be going back read more

My 10yr old said her oatmeal was "sickly sweet." My green smoothie was undrinkably sweet, pretty much a slushy: crushed ice and sweetener poured out of a jug, not fresh fruits or vegetables. Same story with my "steak" bagel (lunch meat). Nasty, overpriced fast food. read more

Standard Panera so not going to talk about food. Nice location next to the hotel I stay at for business when I am in the area. Speedy service and wasn't packed during lunch. Some cons include the almost inaudible person calling out names to pick up food- I've never had that problem at other Paneras. Also- 30 minute wifi during peak times? Not impressed with this policy. Seems like a standard Panera policy which I will keep in mind. I would have remained in the Wayne and fifth ave area and supported a local place without these restrictions. read more

Your menu has changed so much when you come in you can't read it. It is so tiny you can't see it and the biggest problem is you don't know what is in the sandwich read more

Lunchtime is a busy time. When people order Rapid Pick Up and expect it to be in its designated area, it would be NICE that that is where to find it, rather than having your guest guess where it is. Like the counter that serves. The service counter is assumed to be for those who placed their order in-store. read more

Called ahead to ask if wifi was working. Was told it was. Came in and bought food specifically to use the wifi. Doesn't work. 1 star!

This is by far the best Panera in the Dayton area. The staff is very friendly and efficient and they keep the place clean. The best sandwich is definitely a Chipotle Chicken, paired with a bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup or sometimes a Greek salad. I will always stop here when I need a good pick-me-up during the day. Their coffee is always fresh! I totally recommend going out of your way to stop at this Panera. They have something special going on here. read more
