The people who work here, managers and servers alike, go above and beyond to create a welcoming, cosy atmosphere. The food is yummy and, with Panera Rewards, no less affordable than any other restaurant. It's a great place to read, write, study, meet with friends, or just sit quietly with your thoughts. Keep up the great work! read more

I have visited many Panera Bread fanchises. In Texas cities, smoking (including vaping) is prohibited withinof any main street-front entrance, exit, or open window of a public place or workplace. A man was yelling and smoking at the entrance of my pickup. There were employees outside of the building. I had to cancel my order. Any Texas food service employee is educated on saftey laws regarding smoking and vaping inside and outside of the building. Panera corporate level should confront this very important law because it can cause disabled veterans, cancer patients, COPD patients and healthy customers to get exposed to harmful cigarette smoke. I spoke with Denton County and they addressed that all food service workers are supposed to enforce the rule to keep Texans safe. The employees inside the building didn't know about menu items. The place was empty during a busy period. It was very shocking. The only satisfactory part about the location was the clean facility. The branding for the menu was clear and legible. read more

Customer service was nonexistent. I waited for someone to show up to the counter with another customer until we both gave up. There was no employees working the counter at all. It was 10:15am which isn't the busiest time of day, but they should still have at least one employee to run the counter. read more

I love Panera bread so much. The custo service is really good and Amber was amazing. I would most definitely recommend you guys Come experience it yourself. read more

Broccoli soup on this cold weather just hits right! It's burned my throat just like I like lol next time will just get a cup to much bread and less soup do to the soaking of the bread. Service was nice and patient with my slow self today. Oh my let me say the cookie kitchen sink not sure why it's called that maybe cause everything that's on it. Ask them cause it's a lot. But my goodness so big and yummy! Double yummy! It's Panera bread you know what to expect. If you need to warm up come get you a cup. The place is calm music too. About to pass out. Cozy day. read more

Best brownie I've ever eaten. The girl at the register was really sweet. Highly recommend

Fully/cheese steak hot sandwich was not to my taste. If you like a sweet tasting sandwich it may be you thing. Broccoli cheese soup left a taste in my mouth, no so good. Dinning room had dirty tables all over, had to clean my own table. Service wasn't that great, a customer should not have to ask the counter person to speak up 2 or 3 times. read more

My best place for breakfast since 2012. Live their service and breakfast menu including hot coffee

I love this place but tonight I just don't know why it has to be this way for my dinner. Cashier not attentive, she's nice but her brain is not focused. Have to cancel order from not putting my number. Chicken terriyaki wasn't looking enough like before for $13. No cup for drinks was given, not all drinks available. No receipt was offered. Bread hard as The Rock! Wasted $17.73 tonight. read more

I was a little disappointed today when choosing Panera to eat dinner. I arrived at 8 pm 2 hours before close and they didn't have French onion soup which is one of only four soups I think they have on the menu. There was little attention to us being at the counter to order our meal. The food was good as regularly it is but the drink area was a mess with water all over the floor and just a bit of disorder. read more

They have an awesome selection of ice teas at Panera, 6 different kinds which I have not seen at any other restaurants. They have tables outside at this location. All the sandwiches I've tried here are good, my favorites are roasted turkey and kale panini and also the chipotle chicken avocado melt. I measure businesses by how they handle problems like not giving you the correct order. It only happened one time but they graciously admitted their mistake and quickly gave us the correct order. Their pastry selection is pretty good and so hard to resist! read more

Used to come in 3 or 4 times a week. Unfortunately there aren't grown ups working in the kitchen or managers that can be accountable for their staff. I placed an order for my son for pickup and bc our last name is a last name that gets teased by unserious juvenile people, the kitchen staff started laughing at it in front of my 10 year who was waiting to pick up the order. I went to confront them and the manager denied it happened, then the kid who caused most of the problem basically confirmed it happened, by smiling and saying "I didn't even know that was a last name." And shrugged. Hope you can all be more professional in the wake of this incident. Won't bother coming in to find out. read more

Store #600846 --The Unprofessional Associate and the Store Manager who stood there and did nothing about it. I was flipped off and called a liar...YUP given the middle finger and then taunted that he would not be fired. I will not give any Panera Bread my time or money or company money. read more

Never dashing here again. Went to pick up an order and waited 15 minutes for the order. Workers just sat there and watched me wait. I ended up having to unassign the order. read more

This Panera bread never disappoints! So fresh and just delicious food. The workers are also great. Very respectful and helpful. Salads, soups, sandwiches- all great. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you all for your hard work. My dinner made my night. read more

Normally we enjoy Panera breakfast sandwiches, until today! Upon arriving at this location 10 minutes Prior To the end of breakfast service and waiting an inordinate time to order we were advised that regardless of the fact that when we came in breakfast was still being served, we COULD NOT ORDER breakfast as it was past the 1030 am cutoff. This appeared to be a plan thought up by the cool on duty as they moved from two register to one, this slowing down the process and putting us outside the allotted time for breakfast. Needless to say when we asked we were RUDELY pretty much told "Too Bad"! Too bad for Panera's. We left and will NEVER RETURN AND WILL ALWYS NOT recommend Panera to anyone else. read more

I've never liked onions until years ago I had the French onion soup here years ago. Now I have it everytime I go! This visit I also got the Roasted Turkey & Caramelized Kale Panini for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I am NOT on the kale bandwagon but this was really flavorful and other than getting stuck all in my teeth the kale was actually tasty. I really like the people at this location too. Which really helps for the pain it causes driving here for dinner! read more

Had a great lunch today at the Panera on Brinker Rd in Denton. I must give a shout out to an employee named Erica. She went above and beyond in helping me as I was eating w my baby granddaughter. Soooo genuinely kind and helpful. THANK U FOR YOUR PHENOMENAL SERVICE, Erica! read more

This establishment has been sliding for some time. I went there yesterday to study and eat. Every table that was not marked off was not cleaned. I asked to have my table cleaned and was ignored. I did it myself. I went to place my order and was asked cash or card. Card. The young lady pointed to the kiosks and simply stated order there (pointing) and walked away. It appears that Panera is wanting very little customer contact and their kiosks don't cover items like "double toasted...". I think Panera has a good product but appears to have lost their way. I hope they come back soon. read more

I love that they have healthy options and some vegetarian meals. Pretty much everything I have had is good. Today I had the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwhich. Good and healthy but nothing to get excited over. If I'm looking for a sandwhich while out, than this is a great option. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The line moves a little slow but I think that's bc they take their time with people ordering. Restaurant is always clean and has a small patio area. Can bring the dogs and people watch the parking lot. Not great view, but nice to eat outside. Anyways, I like but not love Panera. You should give it a try. With all the healthy options you are bound to find something that you like. read more

Overly soupy macaroni and cheese but then they say, "That's just how we make it". At least I actually got macaroni this time and not broccoli cheddar soup. You're better off at the University location because this one is ALWAYS a disappointment. read more

I just tried ordering a salad. The server had to read me the long list of what they are out of. Who runs out of bacon and avocado? I asked her how that happens and does it happen also. She shrugged her shoulders. I took that as a yes. I have had issues at this one before. Remind myself not to going back!!! read more

I ordered through the phone because of the whole corona deal and I payed over the phone. I waited in the parking lot for over 40 MINUTES just got get my food because someone that wasn't supposed to take my order took my order. Turns out they never made the food and I was waiting for all that time. I had to call multiple times to see what was taking so long. When my food finally got to me, they got me the wrong sides and forgot my drinks so I had to call AGAIN. Though they refunded me my order, my experience was terrible. Plus the preparation of the food was terrible... I ordered a Turkey avocado BLT and they gave me this mess.. mind you, it's supposed to be ONE piece of bread cut down the middle. This looks like trash read more

Good food. The new Thai Chicken soup is incredible! Flatbread pizzas are delicious. No one has better baguettes; I buy them for home sandwiches...perfect for a French dip or cheesesteak. read more

Came for a sweet tea and a kitchen sink cookie on Father's Day, today is my only day off, and they're out of the cookie and the sweet tea selection is lack luster to say the least. Paid $3.45 for a tea and walked back out empty handed for grabbing the cup provided. read more

Lately I've been exploring alternative study spots around town for a change of atmosphere. Panera, while not locally owned, lends warmth, good food, cheap coffee, and free Wi-Fi to the stressed-out student. I very much appreciate the tasteful and chill music they have playing. I'd much rather write essays to the tune of Norah Jones than the eclectic, sometimes really awful, indie crap that occasionally assaults my ears at Jupiter House. I must say I'm addicted to their broccoli cheddar soup and French bread. Sooo good *omnomnom*. A 12-oz. cup of drip coffee (which is always fresh and delicious) will cost you $1.72 including tax, but it's free refills - even more of a reason to stick around. And go ahead and get a My Panera rewards card. Taking 2 minutes to activate it online will get you a free pastry to go with your coffee. Pain au chocolat ftw. My only concern is the scarcity of plug outlets. But avoid usual lunch and dinner rush hour times and finding a source to charge your laptop shouldn't be a problem. read more

I love panera and this store in particular but I'll explain that later. First of all I want to say how awesome it is that there is a panera in Denton, can't be thankful of that enough, because during finals week or for exams its nice to come to this place use the wifi and when I get hungry.. get food that's pretty good. My usual order consists of some kind of smoothie a small bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and a small ceaser salad. I can't complain about any of that, the staff here are excellent I have had no run ins no problems to report back. The reason why this particular store gets 4 out of 5 instead of a 3 out of 5( since its just like any other Panera) is because this store donates the excess bread at the end of the night to a charity organization. Some friends of mine and I had asked the servers several years ago what happens to the bread at the end of the night and the servers response was that it all got tossed away. To me that's such a waste of food, the other night I was here until closing with a group of people when we were told that it was the last call to order food before the food gets donated. Which made me really happy to hear. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places to go on the way to work. I love Panera Bread. I am a club member which earns me points for free food and you also get a free birthday surprise, so its a great free program. Great place to in for healthy breakfast, sandwiches and soup, and pastries. Their soup bowls are the best. Carrot cake and red velvet cupcakes are good and so is the chai latte. I love this location. It is very clean inside and the atmosphere is kinda laid back. It is larger than most and has tons of comfy seating for a great casual feeling. There is a fireplace in the middle, free wifi and tons of seating everywhere, and even outside. Great location and located near great area, West University Drive. You can go there have your business meeting and no one would bother you. The staffs are also friendly and helpful. Panera Breads are about the same anywhere you go, but this one deserves 5 stars because of the staffs. Good job pals! It's fast because people working here are great at it too. Parking here is never a big problem. They have parking right outside the door and a parking lot. I would recommend this location. :) read more

By the way, this Panera Bread does not have a fireplace. Anyway, when my family and I visited on a Sunday 10AM, there was only about half-dozen people there, which is surprisingly low for places serving breakfast in Denton (not sure if it is due to location or maybe people do not like this place, so read other reviews). If your requirement is free WiFi at a non-crowded place, then this place has it for you. Anyway, our experience was sub-par for the following reasons: 1) coffee grounds in coffee; 2) food was slow being delivered to table; we had to contact staff for a breakfast wrap and smoothie that was left at the service counter (with only six people in the place, the customer service should not have been this slow); 3) smoothie is $5 for what looks like a 12 oz cup (FYI: for better value, if you want a smoothie, go to the smoothie place a few doors down); 4) my son, who is not picky and eats about everything, did not like nor finish his breakfast wrap or the smoothie (the same ones remaining at the service counter), so, for me, this is a strong review in itself. I am only sharing my personal review and know that other people may have different requirements or have different luck at this place. If you have good luck at this place, I wish you well. I only know that I will not be returning. There are many other places in Denton with a better Sunday breakfast experience, even with crowds. read more

Unclean location. The drink station was filthy. Looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in weeks. One of the employees had her daughter at work. Child was around 5 years old. Child was behind the counter, interrupting her mom while taking orders. Toilets looked like they never get scrubbed. With all that said, the employees were friendly and helpful. My order was correct and tasted good. read more

I love Panera and each time I go the customer service is pretty good. This location I went and it was pretty empty. I was greeted by the lovely cashier and she waited patiently to take my order. She was also very friendly in answering my questions. She even told me/explained to me that I could get the bread bowl soup to go (awesome)! The food came out quick and was ALL there, down to the cheese and crutons. I was very please with the amount of food I received for the price I paid. The food tasted like good old fashion Panera food. Awesomely good and definitely fills you up! I Heart Panera! = ) read more

Got a lemon drop cookie and found a hair in it. DISGUSTING! Since my friend gave me this cookie yesterday, he's going to call them today for a refund. BECAUSE THATS DISGUSTING! I feel like I'm going to vomit. It was baked right into the cookie. Here's the thing about finding hair in your food, its unsanitary BECAUSE it doesn't digest in your stomach. Yeah. So when I find a hair in my food, I do not take it lightly. It is unsanitary to not wear hairnets in the kitchen. Get yourself together, Panera. That's just nasty. read more

Everything I've ordered has been good. If you order online it'll be ready on time. The pick 2 meal seems like the best deal. I always get the roast beef sandwich and the potato soup. This past visit the soup could've been warming but it was really late in the day so that could be a reason. Get the app and rewards program. You get special deals and sometimes a free pasty. Bakery portion is good! Calorie posting are by each bakery item so it's helpful if you're trying to watch your weight. Everything I've always ordered and never been disappointing. read more

Two weeks in a row I ordered a sprouted grain roll as my side and both times they deliver the food to my table and tell me they are all out of those rolls. OK. Today they brought my food to the table and said they are out of the sprouted roll so they substituted it with a slice of bread. Perhaps they could have come to the table and asked if I prefer a different side before just giving me a slice and bread instead of what I ordered. I asked the manager about it and we concluded that I am just having bad luck when ordering the roll. Also, the soup was once again luke warm. I swear, the soup is never warm enough. If I am going to pay $5 for a little cup of soup then at least I should not have to microwave it in the restaurant. Come on. I am going to bring a thermometer next time because I don't think the soup temperature is in the food safety zone. Also, I ordered my salad with lemon juice as the dressing and this time I just got a bunch of lemon wedges mixed into my salad instead of actual lemon juice. So the whole time I was eating I had to pick out lemon seeds and place lemon peels to the side of my bowl. read more
