I really like this location. The food comes fast and the man and woman who hand deliver your food to the table are extremely nice! I really appreciate that about a Panera. read more

Normally I like Panera breads. But lately something has been bothering me when I go there. They leave that bread for sides out in front of everyone. I have seen people coughing and hacking by it in the winter and mothers that are holding their kids play with with it. I literally watched a little kid slime up a whole loaf with snotty fingers. I told the manager and they did nothing about it. This is huge red flag and its still there weeks later. I cannot believe they allow this to happen. If I see it again I am calling the board of health. Someone has to do something. read more

Spacious, plenty of room for people to do work or study. Has outdoor seating during summer months. Just like any other Panera. I have noticed homeless people wandering inside the last few times I stopped by to pick up food. read more

I'm sorry, I love Panera to death but the people that work here are rude!! They display wrong prices on their baked goods and then tell you it's a different price because of tax. I showed them my receipt and said it did not match the display price. The lady then said oh no it's the wrong label. Then why not tell me that before I purchase??? Why lie and say yeah that's what you're being charged- it's just tax!!?? Rude! Rude!! read more

Doesn't look like much when you wake past, but I was practically dying of hunger so I popped in. The definition of a hole-in-the-wall. I ordered a regular hamburger and wow....there were no words. A classic burger, done right. Crisp bun, juicy patty, and stuffed with all the essentials (ketchup, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles). There's about a million options between a menu board and a wall full of specials, so it can get a little overwhelming, but you really can't go wrong. Not much else to say but go see for yourself! You won't be disappointed. Now, this is exactly what I have to say about the wonderful Panera Bread! It's simply great, that's what it is. Simply great. read more

Everyone loves some good Panera food, but honestly this place isn't what every other Panera is like, from the service to how long it too to get out food. Not to mention a server and a cook where sick and everyone's order was wrong. Sad. read more

I would give this 3 stars except the breakfeast specials are only served until 10:30AM on weekdays although they tell you till 11:00 am (but that's only Sat and Sun). This is stupid and misleading. The manager should have given the breakfeast special based on this misleading information but he was quite the snooty man! read more

ordered catering. highly doubt the delivery is coming in a cart instead a car! wed water dropping broken bags? even if it is raining outside, the delivery is not coming in the car? $25 for such a delivery, will never ever order from them. read more

The food is decent, but the customer service and atmosphere are terrible. It took 30 minutes to receive my salad, and they gave me the wrong order twice. No apology, offer of a free dessert, etc. While this location is slightly cleaner than it used to be, the trash is still overflowing, and there are a lot of kids running around. Ok for takeout, but allow for extra time and double check your order. read more

This place epitomizes everything that's wrong with chain restaurants. The quality of the food is poor and overpriced, especially for the quality and quantity. For example, the mac and cheese is mushy and gross, the sandwiches are far, far better if you go to any number of delis in Hoboken, and the apples are always bruised and old. The people who work here don't care about their jobs, which is obvious considering that every time I have been here the tables are dirty and there are bugs flying around everywhere. I'm done with Panera Bread. read more

So, Panera Hoboken has a few things going for it, in my ever-humble opinion. One, great, high-powered air-conditioning. Two, free refills on sodas, iced tea, and coffee. Three, free internet, BUT limited between 11 and 1 (or so) to half an hour. This is a good thing, for those of us who spend too much time on facebook and not enough time writing our scholarly articles and books. Four, the Panera card, which, at random intervals gives you free stuff. In the last year, I've received a free Take 2, two sweets, a smoothie, and a bagel. Notice, I did not mention the food, which is standard chain fare. read more

Seriously this place is really slumming it as a Panera. Kind of dirty. The menu is not half as varied as Paneras in the suburbs and this new ordering system is just plain dumb and doubles the time to get your food. Skip this Panera but visit others. read more

Once again the problem here is the squatting homeless, which is a distraction. Not a place to sit and eat when they take up most seats with all their things. The staff and management ignores it. read more

Great meals!! My favorite are the people that work at this location. If ever you meet Josh, tell him he's awesome. Best customer service hands down! Enjoy : ) read more

My meal was great but what I really want to highlight is the customer service this location provided. I was walking around Hoboken and purchased some gifts for friends. I ate my lunch and sat my small brown bag of goods down next to the garbage when went to throw my trash away. I walked out of the establishment without the bag. About three minutes later I noticed I had forgotten it and went back but it wasn't there. I spoke with a cashier who took my number and told me she would call if it came up. I left bummed and in my gut knew it had to be there. So, I turned around one more time to check. I was peeking into the garbage when the GM who was sitting with a team of Panera bigwigs asked me if I was okay. I explained what happened and the man offered to personally take the trash outside and look through it. He came back empty handed but the recognized that the cameras were pointing towards the garbage and offered to check them. Sure enough another Panera employee who was working the floor found it and turned it in. The people at Panera that day went so sweet and over and above to help me! read more

The employee who helped us was very nice but only packed 11 bagels in our "baker's dozen" order. We only noticed after we were home and were sorting the bagels. read more

How this place gets away with 5-star reviews is astonishing, and quite sad. This place is the polar opposite of good food, from the morgue-like space to the overly processed baked goods and a sterile environment that makes Starbucks feel like a luxury resort in comparison. What do people eat that they think this place deserves a breadcrumb of praise? Wake up, Hoboken. For anyone who thinks this is even on the radar screen, fly to San Francisco, go eat at Alice Waters' Tartine, and repent, repent, you baked-goods heathens. Panera is hell on yeast. read more

This was a horrible experience. I ordered a baguette with my large mac and cheese and i unfortunately received a rock.

The basic white girls make my world go round. If you want to feel good about yourself by laughing at other people, Panera Bread is the best place to go!! read more

This is one of the worst Paneras I've visited. There are homeless people sleeping in the booths. It doesn't smell that great and is kind of dirty. I hadn't gone for a while for those reasons, but I really wanted to try the chicken power bowl. The bowl is supposed to have vegetables, chicken, cilantro hummus, and lemon. I ordered it to go and when I got home the hummus was missing. Very annoying. read more

It's your standard Panera and, as with many Panera locations, I'm a fan. This location also seems to be a very friendly establishment. I have joked with at least two cashiers and the staff is typically pretty smiley, which I enjoy. Someone must be doing something right here. read more

Walked into Panera to eat there, but couldn't find a clean table in the entire place to sit at. It looked as if the tables had not been cleaned all day. The walls even had food caked on them. We finally found a barely clean table to sit at and it was surrounded by homeless people and a woman who was clearly on drugs. The guy sitting next to me was eating anchovies out of can and was yelling at another homeless man at a different table for not liking anchovies. The employees preparing our meals had their hair barely up and back. The one girl had her hair basically down all in her face as she was preparing our food. Very disappointed because I like Panera, but this location is disgusting! read more

Best Sandwiches for price point. You may run into crowds of kids during lunch time so I would avoid during these hours. Otherwise swing by anytime. read more

I'm not ashamed to say that I love Panera. One is opening in the city on 5th Ave, but I can tell you right now I will never ever set foot in it because it will be a tourist trap and a den for tourists. Can't handle that. BUT this one, conveniently located on Washington St in Hoboken, is one that I can easily get my Panera fix and in a convenient fashion. I love their souffles for morning - their brownies are amazeballs - I was dying for lunch, but for some reason wasn't feeling pizza (shocker - since this chick knows the best pizza is in Jersey). Voila! Soup with bread and a brownie for an extra 99 cents at Panera. Done and DONE. I had a great lemon orzo chicken soup - phenom. Funny thing is that I don't enjoy their salads...know why...too filling (who knew?). Anyway, for NYCers, fret not - don't go to Panera on 5th Ave, take the PATH to Hoboken and give the tourists a taste of their own medicine. But you know, just don't act like one. read more

I've been to this Panera for breakfast at times and lunch when I visit the local Citibank. Their food is consistent with the other Panera Bread out there. I have no complaints since it is pretty much what you'd expect out of them. Often during peak hours for lunch, it is difficult to find a seat here and that's not about to chance anytime soon. read more

A little confusing in the ordering department, mainly how the quiche was delivered (you are suppose to get it at the register, FYI). Other than that, same old Panera (soup, bread, salad). Staff was friendly though. read more

I love this place. Actually, I'm a sucker for any soup and sandwich place and usually from a chain, they both suck. But Panera has changed my mind about all of this. Their sandwiches are filling (I get some sort of pesto chicken sandwich, on multi-grain) and soup in a bread bowl. So delicious. Their green tea isn't so bad either and their pastries are pretty good most of the time. And they are *cheap*!! The "you pick two" is the ultimate. Also.. try the Fuji Apple Chicken salad. The apple vinagerette is surprisingly tasty. read more

Let me just say that I love Panera food, all of it. But this particular location is notorious for two things, first is never having seats available because of people who take up the space for wifi usage. Second is for always messing up the order, unless you verify you want bread with your order and not chips or completely forgetting soups on a pick 2 once you've already driven home. They apologize yes but it's completely unacceptable when it happens more than once. read more

Even the best broccoli soup on earth couldn't save me from writing a bad review of this place. Don't get me wrong, the food is solid. But I swear every time we go there our order get's messed up. EVERY TIME! I wish I was exaggerating because this is one of my favorite chain restaurants but this place needs to get it's sh*t together. read more

I love anything Panera. This location is great, right on Washington St., close to Sinatra Park and Hoboken Terminal. Had the Green Tea Iced Tea today and it rocked! Will be back for more soon. read more

A casual dining place with good options in salad and soups.

The food in my opinion sucks. I don't see what all the hype is about when I can get a better sandwich for much cheaper at a deli. I'm only giving it 2 stars because of how early it is open and how quick you get your food but the woman at the counter was in a bad mood so that took them down a star. read more

Having heard so much about this place, visisted it once for lunch and was disappointed. Maybe because I did order the worst things on the menu, but it sure wasn't impressive. Ordered a vegeterian sandwich and tomato soup in the bread bowl. The soup tasted pathetic. Sandwich was average. And for the amount they charged, did not really find the sandwich filling. Not the place I would visit. read more

Wifi signal and speed are pretty terrible and that's about the only reason to come here. The coffee is bad, the food is ok and the bathroom is comparable to a football stadium's after halftime. The bums also use this place for free coffee and drugs exchanges. read more

I was a Panera today and was really disappointed to find that they had sealed up many of the electrical outlets where people plugged in their computers in the back of the store, and there are just a few outlets in the front. I actually say someones computer fall, when someone trippped over their computer cord. I understand that there were people who abused the free internet access, but the I think this new development will backfire. The store looked a lot emptier today. I hope that other will also let the management know their distress at this new development. On the plus side, their new menu item of Mac and Cheese was very good. read more

Panera is usually a relatively healthy fast food choice, expensive but with a generally good service. Not in Hoboken though. Food preparers are slow, sloppy and undertrained. They managed to drop my sandwich on the counter, and later I found that the meat (chicken piece) was undercooked, and that's after 10 min waiting for my order! During all this time, they would just talk each other back and forth, and don't care about food at all. This is really an exceptional Panera location, I've never had such experience anywhere else... read more

I absolutely love Panera Bread, and the one in Hoboken is the only one that I actually enjoy. The staff is pleasant, food is fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere is welcoming. read more

place is great too bad it's Hoboken's homeless shelter read more

Today I order a sandwich and they didn't put it on the bread that was on the menu. It was crowded and I was hungry so I ate it the sandwich was good but I was disappointed as I like the Cranberry Walnut Bread. I also order a soup to go & when I got home it was not the one I ordered. I have been going to the Panera in Hoboken for years but I think it's time to retrain the staff including management because it's not being run as when it first opened. read more

Don't sit in the back, it smells like bathroom, and your food will taste like bathroom. Otherwise, it's a Panera bread. read more
