My teen daughter's fav restaurant. Her fav dish is the white cheddar Mac & Cheese. I love their consistently great execution of classic bread and sandwiches. Today, we ordered from the app and picked up from the drive thru. What a great experience - easy to order, and our order was prepped quickly and accurately. Here's what we ate today: Mac & Cheese Breadbowl (4/5) Mac & Cheese is her favorite for a reason. However, the breadbowl was not as good as usual today. BBQ Chicken Sandwich (3/5). The bread was nice and crusty. I've had better BBQ sauces before. French Baguette (5/5): SO good! Creamy Tomato Soup (4/5): tasty soup and they put the croutons in a separate bag to keep them crunchy. Fudgy Brownie CinnaTop (3/5): it was fun to try but I wouldn't order it again. The brownies tasted more like cookies than brownies to me. I loved the cinnamon roll and icing. The problem was that I didn't really enjoy these ingredients mixed together. When we've dined inside the restaurant, it's always been clean and casual. Nothing fancy, but always comfortable. read more

If I could choose 0 stars, I would. I always order from this place through their online portal and they never get the order right. Something is always missing from whatever I order & I always have to call back for some kind of refund or voucher. read more

A nice place for lunch midweek. Loved the Fall squash soup with a toasted ciabatta half sandwich. And I think their coffee is better than Starbucks or Caribou! read more

I stopped into this Panera bread for breakfast on many occasions. The staff in the morning are great, they greet you with a smile and remembered my name as well as my coffee and breakfast order. They were very accomodating with anything I needed, treated me more like family and went out of the way to bring my order to my table to prevent me from having to stand and wait to long. This is a great place in the morning to get work done as the restaurant is nice and quiet, there are many regulars whom stop in first thing in the morning but definitely does not get overcrowded or to noisy. The free wifi is very helpful to connect the laptop to. read more

I was just at Panera to order a sandwich and had some of the worst customer service ever. The drive-through person must not have learned manners when they were in school. All it got out of this person was demanding the payment. Did say please or thank you. Besides waiting for a long period of time, you would think they would apologize for the slow service and say thank you. Instead, I got nothing. When I said, "you are welcome", the response was 'have a good one" and proceeded by the drive-up window being shut. Really? I think you need to take lessons from Chick-fil-A who have excellent service and all of their workers are very polite. After spending $14.00 dollars on a sandwich, I think I at least deserve a thank you. read more

I come to this Panera often as it is very close. Have been coming here for probably a decade or so, as long as I've lived in Eagan. The food is good, I've never had a complaint about it really. The Signature Take Chicken sandwich has been my goto for a few months now, I also often get their chicken wild rice soup. Its usually really good. The problem is the experience here. The always seem understaffed, which in this post covid era isn't surprising, its almost common in all places like this. But their equipment is falling apart. The pay kiosks often don't work, or are missing. The drive thru seems permanently closed. Food is often not available on the menu and if you search area Panera on their app, others have it. And I've started to experience watery soup more often. It used to happen once in a great while but now it seems like far more often. While the food remains mostly acceptable, the service is sketchy. The hours are weird, sometimes they close earlier than the posted time. On a recent visit they were shutting down the dining room a full hour before they closed. We had to grab a booth because all the tables were stacked with upside down chairs and they even moved some tables in front of booths, making them inaccessible. They were just doing their basic cleaning, nothing out of ordinary. I'm getting the serious vibe this joint is about to be smoked. I wonder what'll replace it? read more

Had the Squash soup, very good. Always get a bear claw pastry when there. They quit making them. Got the chocolate croissant instead. Mistake. So dry, couldn't chew it. Bear claw was last good bakery. Too bad. Will have to find another soup and pastry place. read more

Great soup and BLT sandwich. Drive through was quick and soup and sandwich were packed well and food was hot.

This is a great location, I had excellent service here during lunch on a weekend. They have a really organized call ahead system and the food was fresh and prepared correctly. This location is a bit challenging as it's in a large mall and well away from the expressway. There is plenty of seating inside, and they have free wifi. Overall, Panera is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch. I would recommend this location if you are in the area. read more

Wild rice soup bowl order was placed via Panera app for a sick individual to be picked up. Received order at individual's home was the bread bowl ONLY! No SOUP RECEIVED. Store offered to send new soup order only customer would have to PAY DELIVERY charges! Totally unacceptable! Customer is out for tonight's dinner. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS STORE. This is NOT the first incomplete order from this store. read more

Decent place for lunch, clean and well managed. It does get very crowded though, so make sure you know what you want before you get to the counter. A few observations: - Portions are getting progressively smaller over time - Kids menu used to be much bigger, but has been shrunk and has not been changed for a while. read more

I'd hate to think some people are prejudice but I think I may have encountered one while I was purchasing my food today. I observed the cashier Pam was her name, speak to me much differently than she spoke to everyone else before and after me... I won't be back here as I felt extremely uncomfortable and very disappointed. read more

Please take your business elsewhere. The mobile ordering is foul and never gets the simplest order right. Terrible food quality. Avoid at all costs. Many better places within a 3 minute drive. read more

I am so impressed with this Panera. My partner had an amazing surprise for me this afternoon: a Mediterranean sandwich from this joint right near Yankee Doodle Dandy road (driving on a road called Yankee Doodle is amazing in itself). My sandwich was absolutely incredible. I'm completely blown out of the water. My partner got me the full size sandwich which is basically the size of two sandwiches, so I have dinner this evening as well. My partner also specifically mentioned the employee working did not make fun of her for severely mispronouncing "Mediterranean" several times (turns out you can just say "the med veg"). And it was busy but the order was 100% correct. We just finished eating and both agree that we feel like we could literally die. 5/5 Panera. thanks so much for fulfilling my Tuesday afternoon dreams. :)) read more

This location is usually my go to but it is going downhill. I try to avoid it these days. If I can't get to the one in Blaine then I don't go at all! The service is terrible. As I'm sitting waiting for my order I can hear the young cooks in the back cursing at each other. I ordered a chick sandwich with extra mayo as you see in the picture there was no mayo on the sandwich at all and it had huge clumps of turkey on there. There has been so many other times that just triggered me. Safe to say I won't be back to this location because they can never get my order right or keep their hours consistent. read more

This is my go-to Panera and I take advantage of all services: drive through, rapid pick up, catering w/ delivery, and self check-out. I've never been disappointed. Employees at this location are always helpful and friendly. And, despite the brisk business and consistently steady flow of customers, the restaurants is usually clean and well kept. The food is always fresh and carefully crafted. Definitely worth visiting. And, I highly recommend their catering service. read more

There is only one downside to this Panera: It has a drive-thru. I say that's a downside because it makes it way too easy to order a lot of food. You only realize your gluttony when the bags are being passed to you through the window. The staff at this location are always friendly and don't make judgments when you're getting your grub on. Everyone knows that Panera's food is pretty much the best available from the "fast casual" market. If you haven't tried the mac & cheese, YOU MUST. It's the creamiest, most comforting dish there is. Make sure you save a little cheese sauce for dipping the baguette. When I'm done, there is not one speck of cheese left in the bowl. YUM!!! To me, there is nothing with which you can go wrong here, so I won't make any additional recommendations. Yes, the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad is still number one for me. I've been eating that since forever. One of the great things, too, is that you can order your food, even eat-in, from the app or at a kiosk in the restaurant. When running errands, I've done this and was very happy to see my hot food being placed on the board when I entered the restaurant. I was able to eat and run without a hiccup. read more

Came in at 2pm... Not the peak during the day. Water everywhere. Like a lot more than normal mopping would leave. The ice was out and they didn't have 3 of 6 teas out. Tables were dirty and staff were looking flustered. No one greeted me at counter so I ordered at the kiosk instead. Took way too long for my pastry to come out and all they had to do was pick it up. read more

Loved the service here. It was so busy but I can see why. Everyone you encounter had smiles and pleasant words and service to match. Had the chipotle chicken avocado sandwich. It was good but lacking in fillings. The creamy chicken wild rice was good but lacking chicken. My review with 5 stars is mostly due to service. I also love the loyalty program and I got a free bagel and my birthday pumpkin muffie my fav. Lol I recommend going here but if you're in a rush do the To Go program it's pretty slick. I'd recommend the chicken noodle soup it looked pretty darn good and my mom seemed to enjoy it. read more

Try to avoid this location. They skimp on the portion of salad receive in the whole size, they only give you two containers of dressing that are half full and the soup is watery as compared to other locations. The Edina location provides you with a full salad and full dressing containers. Way to save on food costs folks. read more

Great place for coffee, breakfast, lunch or snacks. Good location for shoppers with low blood sugar...many big box stores in area. Parking is easy, thanks to large lots, but beware of fast SUVs trying to get around, going from shop to shop. Nice folks here. Pretty good service. More good experiences than bad. read more

Waited 20+ minutes in the drive-through for 4 bagels sliced, 2 cream cheese tubs and 2 coffees. Got home, none of the bagels were sliced and one of the tubs of cream cheese was wrong.

For today being my first time at the Eagen Panera Bread. I am satisfied by a variety of sandwiches this place has to offer. There pastas are out of this world fantastic.

Our Party of 2 Panera experience this morning. Arrived at 9:45 am and the line was out the door. Ok, so knowing that going into the location the service would be slower than expected. The order was one coffee (that was self serve) and a Yogurt with berries. How hard is that to get out to a customer. So after 20 Minutes we inquired what was up and they had some confusion in the kitchen and it will be right out. Then we wait. 10 min later no yogurt and berries so went the the kitchen I questioned where was is order #xx? Reply was sorry we do not have an Order xx. Not a fan of Panera, to begin with, and this confirms my dislike of the place. read more

If I could I would rate them a zero, I would. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to order anything for pick up. Third time in a row that they have completely messed up our order. Fortunately, for them, they do not answer the phone so that recompense or repair of the wrong they have done us is impossible. It is obvious they do not want or need us as customers. read more

I've been going here since 2004-5, and despite many sub par experiences, this is my first review. It seems that sadly for most businesses, good service is at an all time low. This location only gets to order right half the time. Unfortunately if I'm short on time and don't thoroughly look over everything I don't realize it until I've gotten home which is about a 10 minute drive. I've ordered chicken noodle soup only to realize that I have chicken and wild rice when I get home. I've ordered salads with chicken, only to realize there was no chicken on them. Today I ordered a Greek half salad with chicken, and was disgusted when I took it out of the bag at home. The salad was swimming in some type of liquid. It did not look fresh, the salad looks like it was all iceberg, and very minimal chicken. Although I was tired, I hopped back in my car to take it back only to be met by very sarcastic manager. I tried to express my frustration about the fact that my orders are often wrong, but rather than choose to truly listen and learn from my experience, he was only in a rush to give me the refund and push me out the door. After returning this nine dollar excuse for a salad, I drove a half a block to Byerlys and got a salad from their salad bar. My salad was triple the size, double the meat, Beautiful greens and spinach, fresh veggies, and it cost me six dollars. I suppose if you want a bagel and coffee, or a sweet treat this may still hit the spot. But as for me and my family, we will NEVER order a meal from here again. Sad... read more

Panera is a great lunch place to go to. I normally always get their broccoli cheese soup which is wonderful but this time I tried one of their new broth bowls ( actually I got both and shared them). They were ok, but I would not get them again. It didn't have a lot of flavor but had some ok substance. I would not recommend those but I would say overall they have good healthy food read more

It was raining and I had an urge for some soup with some constraints, I didn't want to get out of my car. Well drive through was the only option (unless your mama is making soup for you in the backseat). I like chicken wild rice soup from Panera so I decided to chase that through drive thru. I was thinking it will take a long time to get my food, and I was willing to accept that fate for the delicious chicken wild rice soup. But Wait !!!! I had about 6 cars in front of me and they are moving pretty fast. It maybe took about 2/3 minutes before I was able to place my order and another minute before I received it. Wow!!! Cool. Soup is still hot and I am happy. My sandwich was great, I had proper utensils in my my bag with couple of extra napkin (Yes, hear that Subway?? few extra napkin). I am definitely going back on their drive thru when it rains again and I want some soup (let mom relax and put her feet up for a change). read more

I was expecting company at 12:30 and tried to call in a $90 order for sandwiches, soups and salads. Unfortunately, no one ever picks up the phone and eventually it goes dead. I tried the option for the Manager but that hung up on me also. This is what happened last time I tried to call in an order also. The recording does say if it's a busy time to call back later. This made me feel like they have enough business and don't need mine, if they can't even answer the phone. If they are that short staffed, perhaps they need to hire some part-time help at busy times. The food is very good, and staff seems polite when you come in. But don't bother calling in an order ahead of time. You'll just have to spend half-hour in the drive thru before you can even order your food. I find it much less hassle to order meat ravioli, salad & bread from Carbone's. read more

I visited this location on Friday 2/14/2020 with my husband, son and daughter. Their cashier was busy and their kiosk had some out of service for self order. I made our initial order and while waiting for our food to come out I noticed an older lady arguing with a younger male about the tea dispensers at the beverage station. It was loud enough to be annoying. This whole the the female employee was holding onto our kids meals that she eventually delivered, only because I could see and hear the whole situation from our booth. Fast forward 20 minutes and our son wanted some more food so I go to the self service kiosk and order him a Kids macaroni and cheese, only to wait 10 plus minutes to not get the mac and cheese. The same male employee stopped by our table and tried to deliver another customers meal to us and I explained we were waiting on a kids macaroni and cheese and an apple. He went on to deliver the meal eventually (after a table auction) and came back to our table to pick up our pager and walk away. I stopped him and asked him why would he take the pager without delivering a meal or confirming we had what we needed. He just said he was trying to do a million things that day. I explained to him again we were waiting on a kids macaroni and cheese and an apple, and our Bacon Turkey Bravo had no bacon on it. He went on and on with excuses that they get really crazy busy on Fridays and showed no ownership. I'm very patient but his lack of ownership had me at my wits end. He eventually showed up with our food and a replacement sandwich. What a joke. read more

I live right across the street and I will find a different restaurant in the same area and if I want a Panera it won't be this one. I've been ignored / disregarded on a couple occasions going here; I used to go 2-3 times a week because I love Panera, but I won't go HERE anymore... rude service and I don't know what the ignoring me is about? my last experience a 2nd cashier shows to shorten the wait line and when it comes to my turn he vanishes without so much as even acknowledging me... I now get in my car and drive a couple miles to Cafe Zupas, I usually prefer Panera but NOT THIS ONE... thanks Premonade Panera Bread, for giving the rest of Panera Bread a bad name read more

I went there today and got a pick 2 for lunch. For one of the pick two items I got a salad. I customized my order to include avocado. When I got my meal the avocado wasn't on there. I went to the register and asked if I could get some. I was told someone would bring it to my table. I waited for around 30ish min. I wasn't keeping track exactly because I was working on homework. I was upset that I didn't get the avocado but ate the salad anyway because I was hungry. I went to ask for a refund on my avocado (I know doesn't seem like much, but I'm a broke college student so every bit matters) and because I didn't wanna pay for something I didn't get. The general manager listened to my short story and refunded my whole meal!! Made my day and I haven't stopped thinking about in since. Shout out to the GM for being amazing. Little things like that can change a persons whole day, thank you!! read more
