This WAS my favorite Panera Bread. Manager Wanda was WANDERFUL!! Always friendly, professional, and efficient. Whoever is the current manager has much work to do. I approach the speaker at drive-through, and young lady taking order is inaudible. I tell her I can't hear her. Twice! Each time she speaks barely audibly. And she asks me to keep repeating my order. I have had this experience EVERY time in the past few visits to this location. Lady at the window in front of me is having a heck of a time getting a correct order. The cashier sounds like she does not comprehend what sliced bread for a sandwich is. I'm waiting for a Sip Club beverage. Still waiting. I often go inside, but that's sometimes a long wait--yes, even for only a Sip Club beverage. And when I inquired at counter, I receive a dumbfounded expression. This is after I see "It's ready" on order status screen. Two stars are for the quality of food and beverages in general at Panera Bread. This location lost 3 stars for missing a customer-centric focus. read more

The food isn't half bad, when it's right. The lady servicing both breakfast and lunch today was unbelievably rude despite my kind words and smiles. I thought she was going to attack me when I smiled, thanked her again and verbally wished that she had a nice day. Additionally, my ticket was correct but my order was wrong. read more

what a disappointment; not so much w the food, but the staff! Slow and unhelpful. NO coffee was made at all, and it took 15 minutes before I got a coffee. Where is the manager or owner of the place? read more

Food not as interesting as it used to be when it started. For example they had a delicious unusual sandwich that had a bit of cranberry sauce added along with the other ingredients. I noticed as soon as they stopped this interesting sandwich and even wrote about it through the app ( I think) read more

I don't know but my experiences at Panera has really gone down over the decade. This one is close enough to my place of stay for work. I got the 2 pick 2 which was ok. Overall the amount of Tuna they put in the tuna sandwiches is dismal. Not sure what's happening. Added insult was the cafe latte I ordered with mocha sauce/drizzle. I asked for a little bit more... Worst mistake ever. This crazy people dumped a whole sauce into my cup. I get to my destination and it's basically this thick syrupy chocolate drink. Yeah I think my Panera days are closing. read more

every time I go through the drive thru for a decafe coffee never have any made. every time I wait in line with cars ahead of me with large orders for 10 to 15 minutes without sending car to proper area for pick up. The parking lot has potholes large enough to cause severe damage and has been like this for weeks. last weekend was told to pull ahead to front of store for coffee pickup in 5 minutes, 15 minutes latter went inside for coffee and nobody had any idea why my coffee was not brought out to car unbelievabl. this incident was at the Bloomsburg store the others are from the most poorly run and maintained store in Hazleton. read more

You will get sick if you eat here! I ate here a few weeks ago and had vomiting diarrhea nausea. Then decided to give them another chance yesterday and had indigestion bloating and diarrhea. read more

Great food here, as most are. The service was very fast as well. Also the place is very quiet and has a lot of out of outlets to do work. Really, I think I'm going to be replacing Starbucks with them read more

Went through drive through. Told us to park in the front t of the store and they would bring o the order out. 20 min later no order. Went inside. Couldn't find our order...5 min later we carried our own order out. Bread was stale. Coffee was hot instead of iced. I'm not usually picky but this was neither fast nor good. read more

It's sad that a restaurant like Panera in many other places such as Allentown in the Lehigh Valley serve delicious food and you come to Hazleton and you're served a sandwich that I enclosed a picture of. The chicken sandwich I ordered my mother to say it was bad...it was horribly tough And flavorless. I ordered the steak sandwich and you can see from the picture below it was very disappointing it had some meat piled up in one corner the rest was bread hardly identifiable cheese and no pickled onions at all. This is not a one and done, this is a constant situation. Regardless of whether it's ordered through DoorDash or I pick it up myself it's just horrible unless your face to face or nose to nose with someone Looking at you in the eye, order only the soup and pray. read more

Done with this Panera location. Paid $6.19 for a "bowl" of chicken noodle soup. No way was it worth that price for the amount of soup received. See the pic attached. Mass produced product in minimal servings at an extraordinary prices. Definitely not worth it. And this is NOT the first time UPDATE January 2020 Unfortunately try tints to this location and ordered the tortellini. seecthe pic. Another half empty bowl. Don't know what their problem is. WAY too expensive for the amount of food. read more

Panera Bread - Another half empty bowl. Not cheap. - Soup Near Me - Hazleton, Pennsylvania

Place is clean and service is decent but the food portions is a joke they literally put no meat on anything and for the price they charge I'll never buy anything except from their bakery read more

I have always been happy with Panera's food! I got the pepperoni flatbread, and the four cheese flatbread. Both were very good! The four cheese flatbread is nice and garlicky, and the pepperoni is good. read more

A good stop for a quick lunch on the way to Baltimore. Parents like Panera Bread and I didn't mind it here at all. It was a little different than the ones I've been used to because the food was brought to you and things were bused away. I typically remember grabbing a pager and grabbing the food when it vibrates at Panera's so I'm not sure if this is a nationwide thing they are doing now or whether it was just in this area. Anyway - a great little spot with good coffee, sandwiches and soups! read more

I don't go here often because I know its way overpriced for the quality they give, except for the breads are the best. Just... everything else is frozen crap. First visit was okay a year or so go. I went the other day recently because I had $6 in gift card credit. I tried a whole sandwich, one half of it was fine and "cooked" or thoroughly reheated food, but the other half was cold in the middle. Another reason why I think this place is overpriced is they literally have 16-18 year olds in the back... that's it. I just hope they're getting a fair wage honestly, but in today's age when you see a restaurant with minors its cause of cheap labor. So I could imagine the "complexity" of just throwing food into a toaster or microwave for most food items is fine, its just not going to justify the prices for me honestly. read more

Yelp- hopefully i did this right, i had my grandson help me create this page for PAnera Bread since i did not see one. I had to review Traveled to see my mother in the good ol Hazleton area district for Christmas, oh what memories this place brings back to Frannie. My moom, Mildred... She is such a sweatheart. Bless her wrinkly heart. I wanted to take her out for a nice lunch just me and her. We love to get our bang for our buck. Thats where i learned to pinch my pennies. So we decided to get the YOU PICK 2. We both got teh Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt And Half A Soup. It was DEEEElishious. Very CRUNCHY. Our cashier, Donna. Go Donna! So polite and nice to us. She was patient even though there was a constint flow of people coming in. Nothing Fran can really nit pick with this one! Thanks for the food. love, Fran. and remember to Keep Christ in Chrismas xoxo read more

Great food, excellent service. Everyone there was very nice and got our order in a very timely manner:)

Easy location to get to from the freeway. Bathrooms are clean and you can exit without touching any handles. An assortment of booths, tables, and table booth hybrids. They had fresh bread at 6pm on a Wednesday which was impressive. Staff seemed professional, if not overtly friendly. Overall, it's stacks up well compared to other Panera's. read more

Standard Panera. Grievances were Evangelical music blasted at full volume both indoors and at outdoor seating and caustic reply to complaint about it as well as utter and complete failure to enforce their own posted masking requirement for guests. I guess I will take my minority / want-to-live-to-next-month money to the Wilkes-Barre location my next trip on 81. read more

had a gift card and asked the team lead for assistance and was not helpful when asked for a four digit pin when the gift cards only provide three.. because their system cannot scan the gift card.. read more

For the past three times my son have been here every time we go to the drive-through or order is messed up they say that they're sending me coupons and they never do and it's really annoying to give someone your address your phone number all the stuff I never get the coupons in the mail we are not going back and I highly recommend if anyone places an order through the drive-through to stop look and make sure you have all the stuff that you ordered because it's ongoing issue there! read more

My husband and I had breakfast here. They misunderstood my order and when they realized, not only did someone (the Manager?) come out to rectify it, but he came out a second time just to make sure everything was ok. It seems rare to find good customer service these days, so I wanted to make sure to give credit where credit is due! read more

Shorted my order a couple of times. when I spoke to a manager the way he said it to me buddy what do you want me to do, I am have a lot of new people. He did give me a couple of free pecan twists, but the way he talked to me. Unprofessional for the price of the food. Forget this place and rite it off. read more

Love the food! Get the prickly pear hibiscus it's delicious and refreshing.. the corn chowder hit the spot and I would recommend it! The person taking my order was very pleasant and courteous at the drive thru. The bread is awesome and compliments the meal nicely! read more

Stopped here en route to Virginia. We ordered online prior to arrival and there were no issues with pickup. Food was fresh and my noodle bowl was packed with veggies which is a nice surprise that they don't skimp on the quality ingredients. Place was also clean and the staff here was very friendly and helpful as well. read more

Staff was friendly. Portions are small and prices are large. $30 for 2 people for lunch of half sandwich and soup and a drink and a cookie. Ridiculous. read more

Panera is such a wonderful place. First of all the freshest, most phenomenal bread of all time. They offer great seasonal salads. My favorite salad is the Strawberry poppyseed salad with extra fruit. They provide wonderful fresh bakery snacks that you enjoy such as, cookies and other pastries. They also have wonderful coffee and drinks that you can chill out to. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in town especially on nice days! Good sandwiches and salads. Nice outdoor seating area that is pet friendly. Staff is always friendly. Drive thru is convenient in a hurry or on not so nice days. read more

WhT a god dam joke, my friends. Now all you yelpers have becomes my very bestest friends and I really would be scewwin yas over if I didn't give yas the scoop on this money stealing shitshow. Here's the 411 ladies. My gf Jennifer and I (hi jenny, hop your reading this) decided that the all you can eat long John's Sunday buffet was old news so we high tailed it over to it's neighboring restrent on route 93 the panera bread for what we hopped would b a lobley sunday chow time escape from our husbands. NO. Pish posh, my peeps, pish posh. It was the most piss poor excuse for an eatery. Bad overpriced food. No selection. 7 dollar mac n cheese??? I think not. To hell with yas panera. Your trendy, I gets it but not hthat trendy. They're so calorie conshus too. I mean sumtimes Jeny and I watch our figures, but lately I'm hopin all the cals go to my ass, and this place will not give you curves ladiws. In fact you will starve before you can afford the other half of the friggin sandwich. Better work 2 jobs just to afford a meal at panera fail. Will not return. Cashier was a snooty miss priss. She was taking to her coworker about the latest episode of Mike and molly, and I says stop it, I didn't waycj it yet, and she kept spoiling it on me. I cried. So dissatisfied. Panera, I scoff at you! Jenny says stop and so do I. read more

Today, we brought our family here for lunch. My son was upset because he did not get a milk...he didn't ask for it. One of the employees came over and asked why he was upset. I commented that he did not get something he wanted. The employee brought a chocolate chip cookie to him. Although we were focused on logical consequences, the compassion by this employee towards our son's feelings was so thoughtful...it was worth noting. Thank you you the good and thoughtful employees of this location! read more

Every single time I come, I order the same sandwich, Chicken Avocado Melt. Every single time it comes with the cheese unmelted and the avocado cold. The outer part is warm and then I get to the middle and bite in to ice cold middle. It is disgusting. At this point I am too far in to it to send back. I do not know why I keep coming back, it never fails I get the same results every time. read more
