    Well, look what's not covered at Panera here on Woodhaven Blvd in Glendale, Queens... Looks like manager Sirjana still doesn't know what she's doing. The lemonade lid was on top of the iced coffee container, leaving the lemonade container fully exposed to air and germs and bacteria. Please see photos below. I hope the district manager, Joel, does something about this....

    My sales receipt, September 17, 2024
    Tina C.

    Lunch on a Tuesday afternoon while in the Glendale, Queens vicinity calls for le pain (French for bread, loaf). This Panera Bread Cafe #204403 is accessible via MTA buses Q11, Q21, Q53 SBS, and Q52 SBS. Customer service is mediocre as my order consist of a complimentary French baguette bread side, but upon pick-up it was not included as I had to voice my interception to be properly compensated for inclusion of a missing item. "If you see something that is not right, say something!" which as a typical New Yorker I take it as a directive. After voicing my missing French baguette bread side the food preparer produced a rude scowl look. The staff who prepares the food orders and packing cannot read the order sales receipt which is clearly itemized line-by-line. Why are the staff utterly careless in their work? Accuracy for order fulfillment is a comical relief to Panera Bread as it is merely for public relations as a false illusion for a facade to be seen. Perhaps is it ergophobia for menial work? Hell no, I do not want to be a Panera Bread rewards or loyalty member!! I opt to take my order out after receiving such beneath and underperforming treatment despite of sufficient in-door seating available. Caesar salad (whole) $9.59 This salad was average, but it was filling and unlike cafes, or food chain restaurants Panera Bread's whole salad contained two (2) plastic condiment cups of Caesar dressing as provided. French baguette bread side This was excessively chevy and average. It does not taste fresh. I sadly miss Paris, France for authentic French baguette bread. Chocolate chipper cookie $2.99 Delicious as I am a enamored with the classic chocolate chip cookie. COOKIE!

    I have not been to this particular Panera for several years. Only one person at the cash register, still have to figure out how to use the kiosk. I like human contact and interaction as well as find out the latest products. Ordered the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.89) which was very good. It was light and not heavy. After meeting friend over coffee, went back to order lunch for the kids. They have Value Duets for $7.99 (these are fixed item 1/2 sandwich plus soup) went for the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich with Wild Rice Soup. Soup was a tad salty. Sandwiches were awesome. Never had their bread bowls (sourdough bread) before. Saw so many photos from Yelpers so you got me ordering one with Chicken Noodle Soup. ($8.89). ***Tip- If you Taking Out or Pick Up or Carry out. Make sure you have all your items before leaving the store. The ladies who prepared the food order did not put it the Chicken Noodle Soup. That sourdough bread bowl would have been naked and lonely without the hearty soup. Tables were not clean. Had to switch tables. Did not see anyone cleaning. Bring wipes.

    For a pastry ( bear claw croissant) to be in a bag with no individual label or packaging is wild; to squeeze it and put a pack of petite cookies ON TOP OF IT is even wilder. What's worst than squished food?? the flatbread to not have THE ADVERTISED RANCH OR CHIPOTLE SAUCE IN IT. So dry cheesy bread for the win I guess. IDK If this revenge for complaining about my last order but I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN Like no sauce. AT ALL. Hopefully my refund processes but they need to do better especially for its location

    Side of chipotle sauce yummy

    I don't know how, and why this Panera only has 3 stars. I came in today to grab a quick bite , and upon arrival this place is HUGE. There was so much seating to dine in (even though my order was for pickup). There was lots of traffic but it moved very fast . The store is broken down, 1 side is ordering and the other rapid pickup. The restaurant was also very clean, I saw a nice man sweeping up before my exit . I honestly waited no longer than 10 minutes over my pickup time for my food, and given it was busy that was no problem for me . I was even offered 2 cookies for the wait which I declined but really appreciated the kind gesture. I ordered the chipotle chicken and avocado sandwich which was amazinggggg, with the chipotle sauce on the side . I also ordered a half of a tuna sandwich, which was also really good and large portioned both sandwiches were very fresh. Anytime I'm back on these sides of town I will definitely stop back in. Great customer , and fresh food you can't go wrong .

    Tomato soup

    Ordered delivery thanks to the "spend fifteen get ten dollar off" promotion. Got a full grilled cheese and a tomato soup bowl. Can't say the grilled cheese lived up to its name because it was far from grilled. Barely cooked on the exterior and was still smushy like any ol' white bread. American cheese smacked between some white bread is not the worth 7-9ish bucks (but I guess that's Panera for you). The tomato soup is plenty and I plan on making my own grilled cheese and eating it together (I'm sure I can get a couple more sandwiches out of it). The service at the store is really great and that's about the only good part of the overall general experience.

    The pastries of Panera Bread are decent and we visit there every one to two weeks when we don't have any idea what to eat for breakfast. We have subscribed to their unlimited coffee plan for months and this was our first time seeing that all the coffee wasn't served in hot & fresh. Hence, we were disappointed with their service at this location. The indoor dining is currently available and their safety procedures for COVID-19 is pretty good. The staff checked temperature for every customer and kept social distance between tables.

    Love this restaurant! Their app and kiosk come in handy especially when you don't feel like going to their cashier. I'm a big fan of their pick two option. I got their chicken Caesar salad with avocado since they ran out of croutons and chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich with extra chicken. Also got a side order of their chicken noodle soup I enjoy as well. Always a good time when I eat from here. First time trying their juices..and I liked their Strawberry lemon Mint with Guarana & caffeine the most.

    After shopping for furniture for my new apartment I took my mom here to pickup dinner. She's never had Panera Bread so I wanted her first time to be memorable. We opted for our orders to be to-go. We were beyond exhausted and wanted to get home in a jiffy. We were greeted and treated so nicely by the young lady who worked the register. She took her time to explain the combos to my mom and what certain items contained. My mom ordered half steak & argula sandwich with a small lobster Mac & cheese. I ordered a full bacon turkey bravo sandwich. Once we got home we decided to dig in. My mom couldn't stop raving about her sandwich. She liked her Mac and cheese sans the lobster claw. It was extremely fishy and salty. We were both under the impression that the Mac and cheese would have sliced up lobster pieces mixed in, however we were sadly mistaken. She also stated that the Mac and cheese was a little too cheesy for which says a lot because she loves cheese. My bacon turkey bravo sandwich was on the bland side. I couldn't enjoy it because it was dry and lacked condiments. I tried jazzing it up but I ended up tossing it.

    Broccoli cheddar soup with cesear salad

    This Panera is extremely fresh, clean kept, and provides excellent service. There is a giant fee parking lot which is very convenient especially being in queens. They have the kiosks to self order and it is very convenient. My favorite thing to have Panera is the broccoli Cheddar soup with caesar salad ( add avocado). This Panera is my absolute favorite Panera and I would highly recommend

    Yuk!
    Gregory A.

    Panera usually has pretty good coffee. This place does not. Extremely watered down, and virtually tasteless. If you want a better cup of coffee, go to a gas station. Service was good, and the place was clean, but what good is that when the coffee is only suitable for pouring down the drain.

    Same old Panera. New location. Don't order catering from this place, as it has a history of showing up hours after promised delivery time.

    I did a delivery of 2 sandwiches recently, and both arrived fresh and packed well. I got the "Aged…read moreto perfection" which was prosciutto, and the "US open fan favorite" which was roasted chicken breast. Both came with generous amounts of meat, not too saucy either which sometimes makes sandwiches soggy. I got the regular sub size which I ate half of. It can easier feed 2 people! I could have done without sundried tomatoes in the prosciutto sandwich but overall it was very delicious. I would get it again, or try a hot sandwich variant next time.

    At one time this place was a force...now it's left somewhat of a lackluster feeling all the way…read moredown Austin St. I was in the area for an event and I needed food stat! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a sandwich from Stacked since I haven't had one in a while. I I walked in and waited to be greeted while the staff chatted and gazed at me for about 5ish minutes or so. Finally, I'm acknowledged and asked "what can I get for you". I saw they had a Thanksgiving sandwich called the "Gobbler". I asked how long they would have it as even though it's the November special, sometimes places might make it last through the holidays. When asked I was told "it will be available until whenever November ends". This whole interaction made me feel so unwelcome. It didn't look like there was much going on there in the relm of orders, but it still took them a while to make my sandwich. Finally they bring it to the front counter. Pack it in paper and a paper bag and I'm off. I didn't have much time to eat so I scarfed it down in my car before heading down Queens Blvd. It was very good. Not my favorite, but def has potential. I also feel like, though this is a nice sized sandwich, they were a bit stingy this time around. I would say the star was the stuffing. It just tied everything together. As you all know, I love a good sandwich shop. I wish this was as good as it once was to me. Not sure if I'll give it one more shot just yet.

    It's been a few years since I last came to this location!…read more The food options have expanded, which is great, and there are now lunch promos for weekdays - I remember that was terminated a few years ago. We couldn't take advantage of that coz we went on a Saturday, but it's a great deal if you want to swing by on weekdays. Everything's fresh, and portions are good. Service was friendly and efficient. I think I'll come back and try the new options.

    First time trying Bareburger and, unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the burger. I liked the option…read moreof customizing a burger and adding as many veggies as you want. They definitely piled the veggies on, which I appreciated. However, the beef patty was not great texturally. There seemed to be an issue with consistency, three of us ordered the same burger cooked medium rare but our burgers were cooked with different levels of doneness. One was perfectly medium rare, one was very rare, and mine was in between with some parts that were rare. The rare parts felt (and looked) too much like raw ground beef, tasted mushy. It wasn't a big deal though because it was still edible. If I come back here, I would probably just order medium to be on the safe side. What actually ruined the patty for me was the chewy, rubbery gristle. The other burgers didn't have as much but mine had gristle in nearly every bite. Thankfully, the brioche bun and veggies kind of made up for the meat. The onion rings were really fried and super crunchy; they almost looked burnt. It was a little too fried for me but I still enjoyed it. The spicy barbecue sauce was really good and had a tiny kick. I preferred the spicy barbecue sauce to the garlic aioli. The aioli was too thick so I liked combining the two sauces. The fries were basic chain restaurant fries, crispy and fluffy. I would be happy with ordering either fries or onion rings again. However, I think the onions rings made the burger more enjoyable. Pretty big place with lots of seating. Quick and friendly service.
