I got a strawberry poppy seed salad with chicken and it looked and tasted old. It definitely wasn't freshly made. I've gotten it many times and know what it's supposed to look like. Smaller portion too! I didn't even eat the chicken. It smelled a little funny. The lettuce was scarce and some of it was brown. I threw most of it out. The pineapple was totally missing. I got take out so I couldn't ask them to fix it. The baguette was fresh. Taking this place off my lunch list. I do like their bacon, egg and cheese on ciabatta breakfast sandwich but they also no longer have spinach which was a favorite. Bummer! Super expensive for subpar food. The service is always friendly! read more

Panera Bread - Chicken Caesar Salad with Chicken, ordered without croutons but what's up with the iceberg lettuce??? - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

It's a Panera. I'm assuming you either like Panera food or not. I'm here because the kids like consistency, and I don't feel like dealing with fits when they are food to try new food, say they hate it, and then end up loving it. Look, some days, you just need to get from breakfast bedtime with a minimum of screaming and blood. The only thing I care about at a Panera: does it have in stock the food the kids will eat. Yes, they passed the test. This one has a bonus of lots of natural light and having seats enough for all. Pretty clean too. The kids didn't cry. read more

Panera Bread - Nice and bright windows. - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

Disappointed. Panera Bread used to be a high value Italian-like establishment with a wide variety of custom and tasty old-style vitals. Today, the menu is made to suit the palette of South-of-the-Border: holding only a salads, Mexican soups, and fruity spritzers. The frontega sandwich which used to be good, was served to me - as my receipt shows clearly - WITHOUT the smoked chicken! THEY DID NOT HAVE THE USUAL. The cheese, which used to be a delicious Gouda, is now a nondescript, sub-par toothpasty mozzarella without any flavor.. Panera has lost its competitive advantage. Bring back Gouda! If the smoked chicken is being sold; you should have it (you didn't) and when I walked in during lunch the breakfast menu was still up. Ambience is okay but now the sandwiches are bland. Watch: Yelp will take down my review, citing my taste buds are 'fake buds'! Servers forget the extra sauce, and nothing was done when I told 'Harlow' the kid that is lounging lazily atop the register up front that my sandwich was flavorless! Supremely disappointed: you lost a customer by changing classic Italian food. Review: 2 read more

Panera Bread - Panera Bread, slow slow slow slow - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

See all

Salad was delicious and fresh. Our food was ready fairly quickly and the restaurant was clean.

The food was as expected and yummy and the drinks were SO good! However I did ask for apples for my kids and they still just gave bread. For 2 kids and two adults it was $50 the wait wasn't awful but the value didn't hold for us. The service was wonderful though the people were great. read more

4 " sausage patty, a folded egg, a piece of cheese and a piece of bread, a small cup of coffee for $11.22. Are you kidding me ? Once again I'm disappointed , too little for too much money. Panera gets it wrong consistently. They have bad customer service and they only give a little bit of food for what they charge. Voting with my feet and wallet! A business that will soon face closing. This American is tired of being ripped off. read more

Small order for my husband and myself. Greek salad with dressing on the side, nothing but plain oil. Because they were out of baguettes, the person taking the order said she would substitute bread for both meals. No bread. Very disappointed. We were between Panera and Chipotle. Chose the wrong place. read more

we just got here pulled up to the drive thru and he was out of absolutely everything, which is out of his control, but they should be way more prepared and provisioned for the day. I asked this guy about 5 times what they were out of and he wasn't telling us besides "uhhhh......a lot of stuff....." and didn't know anything about any of the meals etc. (I just think he was too lazy to even try). so it was basically 10 minutes of me asking for any item and him saying ".....we're out ". listen, I work in the food industry and this guy totally didn't give a crap about his job. He disappeared for about two minutes doing I don't even know what. just all around a bad experience. Also the sandwich that came out was disgusting. THANKS HARLOW- guy who did our order. What a dude. read more

Panera Bread - supposed to be on a ciabatta roll, bc he told me at the window THEY WERE ALSO out of sourdough-? this is a bun. Thanks Harlow. - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

I do like a bit of Panera from time to time, but this branch is a bit substandard. We stopped in for dinner a few days ago. I was surprised to see they only had 2 digital ordering kiosks. The branch near me house back home has 6. Our party was pretty big so it took a while to order. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and the staff seemed pretty nice, but I was disappointed to see my order was wrong. I ordered a Greek salad with some add ins and with no cheese or dressing and wound up getting both cheese and dressing. I then had to walk it back and explain the issue. The prep staff got a bit terse about it, like I'm supposed to eat the wrong food or something. But they wound up making me another. I got like 15 different ingredients in my original order and when they asked me to tell them the correct order, they rushed me thru because they were busy with other orders. My salad wound up being OK. Some ingredients really sucked though. The quinoa I added in was actually quinoa and rice which was fridge leftover cold and hard, also they wound up missing a few items like the olives and pickled peppers. I didn't feel like going back again to let them know however. Regarding non food elements, the dining area was good and tidy but the men's bathroom was pretty dirty and it had water and paper towels on the floor. They could have done a better job. Overall I'd give them 2 stars. Some notable issues for sure and judging from their reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one who had a poor experience here. read more

Normally PBs sandwiches are great but our last one wasn't. I'd ordered a chicken salad sandwich but there wasn't much chicken. What was there was enveloped by lettuce. A LOT of it. It was all lettuce and tomatoes, and just a little bit of salad. My spouses turkey sandwich was huge! read more

I stopped in at the new Panera, across the street from where the old one used to be in glenmont, for the first time this morning. I have to say it is a beautiful new spot and is more welcoming than the last one. This one has a whole new feel with the open concept and I love that they added a drive thru! The staff were very friendly as well. I tried the sausage, egg & cheese on a brioche for the first time and loved it! read more

The new Panera. Corporate factory brioche dough. 10 bucks. Fake Gouda cheese. An egg. 10. The bread. Not even the bread, saved it. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

Panera is a pretty standard fast food place that makes you think it's not fast good because of the nice decor indoors. I ordered takeout from here last week, and I'll start with the good: I was very impressed with the contactless pickup. I ordered and paid online for ASAP pickup, put a description of my car, and when I drove up, I wasn't waiting in line for more than 45 seconds when an employee (wearing a mask) ran up with my order, and I was off! The order was perfect with no items missing or incorrect. Now to the less-good: the food is really just so-so, which is something I feel bad saying because there's not much that can really be done for that in a national chain where most of the condiments etc are mass produced. I ordered a you-pick-2 of the Thai chicken salad and a chicken noodle soup. The salad had fresh ingredients, and the dressing was just a sweet spicy sticky chili sauce and a peanut sauce (Thai). The chicken is what it has always been-- seems like thawed cooked chicken pieces. But again, I feel badly saying that because there's not much they can do. The chicken noodle soup was good because it tasted deliciously salty, kind of like from a can. But that's what I wanted so I'm not upset about that. What I AM upset about is it was $5 for broth, a few chunks of chicken, and a few noodles. I suppose that's on me, though, since I essentially chose to order something for $5 that I could've gotten for $1.50 at the grocery store. The chocolate chipper cookies are amazing. Go there for these. read more

Weakest coffee anywhere. Don't waste your $ . And I'm talking about the dark roast! It's undrinkable.

Came in around 8pm. They had no baguettes. Literally could not live up to their name. Silverware was dirty. Other than that, enjoy! Food was good! (Just bring your own bread and silverware) read more

Tall guy, guessing it was the manager, is rude as hell. Yelled at us in the middle of the restaurant because we shifted one chair over and then came back to say it all again. read more

My wife is a fan of eating lunch at Panera bread. She particularly likes the options of a half sandwich with soup. I have to admit their soups are absolutely delicious. I tend to have a grill chicken Ceaser salad and find it to really hit the spot. Currently I'm living the KETO lifestyle cutting almost all carbs out of my diet. With that said a place with "bread" in the title is kinda toying with with my emotions, as well as my will power... so currently this would not be one of my top choices for lunch. But when it's time to unleash the carb eating beast, as Arnold said "I'll be back "... read more

My cousin had the worst experience of her life here... She ordered the cheddar and steak panini without the pickled onions and with light mayo. (Weird, but good.) Anyway, it started off all good. Perfect even. As she chomped down on the sandwich, it went down smooth, but there was a price to pay. (Not including the outrageous prices of the restaurant itself.) Hours later, she felt her stomach rumble and knew it was more than a rumble. What started as just a faint rumble morphed into something brown, runny, and chunky. She found herself on and off the toilet throughout the evening hours. Missed dinner, had to eat a light breakfast, and had to continue to suffer for the whole next day. After an extensive google search and advice from family members, we came to a conclusion. FOOD POISONING! (Mild case ofc.) Later that day, the regret from eating that sandwich hit especially hard as she regurgitated and had to spit it out. Imagine how much of your dignity and time is lost spent bent over the porcelain throne. Moral of the story is, everyone deserves an experience that they enjoy when visiting Panera Bread and similar franchises. The other lesson that can be learned is to not order the steak and cheddar panini from Panera. Order a salad instead. Hope you learned your lesson Panera Bread, thanks for ruining my cousin's weekend. read more

Had the worst restaurant experience of our lives at this Panera last week. Staff are nice but the long time manager is brutally crude. My wife was being sexually harassed outside the restaurant and was trying to find me inside the Panera. Manager screamed at her to get out because she wasn't wearing a mask. She asked if she could stay in the vestibule for safety and again he screamed at her to get out! I saw him screaming at someone and realized it was My Wife. Thanks for your help Panera. read more

Ordered online for the first time which is very convenient. Our order was complete and waiting for me 15 minutes later when I arrived. The butternut squash soup is a favorite, only wish they had it year round instead of just in autumn. Only complaint is the Italian sandwich. Very stingy on the meat for the price. Compare my picture to Panera's stock photo. read more

Panera Bread - Italian sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Glenmont, New York

Manager is rude and condescending. I have had multiple experiences with this manager and he is generally rude, grumpy and yells at his employees. Customer service is absolutely non-existent. This is no way to run a restaurant. Avoid this location. read more

I like going to this location. Great friendly staff who actually took the time to know my name and what a like to order.... I am a creature of habit. The manager Max has gone above and beyond to make things right on the rare occasions where my orders got messed up. The counter staff are friendly... I get a kick each time I get up to the counter and Adam is standing next to Adam. I've come to name them Adam#1 (taller of the two) and Adam#2 As far as fast food or chain restaurants go I like panera above the rest. I usually order the Chicken Tortellini Alfredo and or Black Bean soup which is only served on Tuesday, Thursday during the week. I also like the Soba Noodle Bowl. I love the desserts especially the Toffee Nut or peanut butter dream but alas these are rotated out which annoy me. Keep up the good service Max. read more

cant stress enough to stay away from this place! it's a mockery all kids on phones no customer service. managers ignore you and speak badly if you ask a question. the two main managers are always eating something or sitting someplace a female and a bald male and always speaking badly of someone around them and bad looks so sad prices are too high and it's not worth it at all close the doors read more

Not quick with the online orders. We placed an order that said it would be ready by 8:45 and they didn't start making it until 8:47, wasn't ready until 8:55. Food is good obviously but the online pickup didn't help us out at all. read more

Panera Bread locations are all pretty much the same, and this one is not exceptional in any way. But two observations that probably apply to every Panera: 1. No, I do not want a Panera card, but thank you. And no, I still don't want it after you ask me a second time, tempting me by telling me "it's free." You know what? The next time I visit, I will begin my order by saying, "Hi, I don't want a Panera card..." 2. When you order a sandwich, several sides are offered: an apple, chips or... wait for it... bread. Yes, how about a side of bread with your sandwich -- because nothing goes better with a sandwich than more bread. read more

I usually love panera and order there frequently, however, i am on a high school gymnastics team, so sometimes we order food from there as a team. This time, they forgot 3 peoples meals and made multiple mistakes. I will probably still eat there but this experience was terrible. read more

Very disappointed. Ordered a Cuban after asking cashier specifically if it was "hot and pressed" to which she replied "yes it is". It was hot but not pressed, minimal meat and definitely not worth $10. read more

Twice I ordered a pick up and twice missing items. And the items are not cheap! Didn't drive the 10 miles back to get them was just out the money. I ordered a cookie on the second visit and was handed what was clearly a day out hard as a rock cookie. I told the Manager, I think he was the Manager. He was walking around not doing anything except getting in the way. But I asked could I please have a fresh cookie? He was nasty and said it is today's cookie, I said well it is hard as a rock. He replied in a very aggressive tone, What did you say? I said the cookie is hard as a rock. This older man shouldn't be in any kind of business dealing with the public. And the last note: The restaurant is filthy! read more

I usually enjoy Panera for a quick easy lunch, but this location is by far the worst. The main problem here is who i think is the MANAGER. I've been to this location multiple times and have had a few different negative experiences with his. He's an older, tall man with facial hair. He is always very rude and can be seen yelling at the employees in front of customers. This last time, I ordered a bowl of the chicken noodle soup. To start, it was $7 for a bowl that was barely half 1/3 full. Horrible. And then halfway through eating it I found to be what looked like a bug. My mom called this man, the manager, over to the table. He proceeded to give a scowl and make his way over as if he was annoyed. I then pointed out the mysterious item in my soup and he just stared at it and said " what do you think it is" as if he was waiting to see and decide if he agreed or not. I said i thought it was a bug, and then he stared at it some more and said "no it looks like maybe a stem" with a nasty tone....As if he was trying to ARGUE with us. With the biggest stinky attitude ever, he then offered to replace OR refund it. With absolutely no recognition of it or apology what so ever. Any decent manager would be apologetic regardless of what he thought about it - even though it was clearly not a stem. I decided to replace it since I was still hungry. I also pointed out how the bowl came out about 1/3 full and he fought back saying that's the usual amount given. Sick of arguing with this horrible man who obviously doesn't value his customers and business, I just brushed it off and replaced it. This guy is the absolute worst and because of him this panera should be avoided at all costs. Never again. read more

Cookie cutter look-alikes, but the food is dependable and can be healthy, if you choose carefully. And if you register online, they give you a free treat for your birthday. I chose an almond bear claw. Mmmm! read more

we ordered a pickup order today the food is tasty but when you order soup with a piece of baguette for $7 along with a bowl of chili and baguette for $8 you should get a piece of bread that is larger than a tangerine, even in the past when we ate inside we would complain and were told that the manager keeps it so small. As has been mentioned they only fill the bowl about 1/3 when you eat in, complaining may get you another ounce if you happen to get an understanding server. As other's have said the manager is rude and not at all friendly, perhaps he is the franchiser and does not care, just give me your money and get out. I am a local and this is a small town place, mention this store and just about everybody says the same thing, Panera's should know that this guy and his service is giving the company a black eye, I've even gone to there East Greenbush location to have a better eating experience, and I would advise folks to do the same. read more

We tried this location a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it. We didn't have to wait long for our food. My husband had the turkey cranberry flatbread, and I had the chicken salad sandwich. Both were delicious. The chicken and wild rice soup was just okay. It was really thick, almost gravy-like instead of soupy. Overall, if was a good experience and we'll be going back. read more

The food is good BUT this is the second time they got my large order wrong by forgetting food. AND they forgot to make the order that I had placed 2 hours earlier so I had to wait 20 minutes. It wouldn't be so bad but This time they insisted they checked the order and the food was all there...while I was waiting in Panera in Latham while I reordered 3 sandwiches I didn't get so the rest of the sports team I ordered for could get their food. And not even a genuine apology just come back and we will refund yoUr money for what you didn't get. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Absolutely worse service ever. The girl behind counter could care less about my being there. At 6 pm they were out of bread bowls. The tuna looked like it was several days old and crusty. The Mac and cheese looked like something out of a prison cafeteria. read more

Wow.....I ordered the CHICKEN avocado salad to go. Got it home to find it had NO CHICKEN. How can they mess that up???? It's a basic order. It's always scary ordering take out here, because about 1/2 the time the order is incorrect. I guess if I'm going to do it, I need to start checking all order details before leaving. Shouldnt have to do that. read more

I was driving through the Capital Region with a coworker and we got hungry and this Panera was convenient. We got there, and it was much busier than we thought it would be at a 1:15pm on a Monday. Despite the long line (there were about 10 people ahead of us), we ordered within 5 minutes of arrival and got our food about 5 minutes later. The service was good, professional and efficient. The food was also pretty good, even better than in some of the other Paneras I have been in. Give it a try! read more

What an absolute rip off. A 10 dollar half filled salad. And another with ingredients missing. Way overpriced I would not go back.

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. I usually don't go out of my way to rate a place low unless it was beyond horrible- well this location is not following safe food practices. I buy oatmeal there daily and have been a loyal customer. I found a price tag inside of my meal and I tried speaking to the MGR about it but he would not own it and rather he offered me a gift certificate. Their insanitary practices are concerning. The worst thing is they're very crass with the information- wonder how often they have these issues. read more

Wow- I haven't been to Panera in years as there is not one around my area... BUT when I travel I will be sure to look for this super healthy chain- Got the Napa Chicken Salad -wow- super fresh- the chai latte was great - the service was great...cant beat it!!! read more
