the food in this location is always fresh and hot. the staff is so hardworking because this place is usually full. the only downside is how busy it can get, but I'm more than happy to wait for something I know is always going to be good! read more

This review is for the Bagels only!! I used to love this Panara, but the last time I ordered bagels they were terrible. The Asiago had no cheese on the top and the cinnamon crunch had no crunch at all. I don't know what they changed but it is not for the better. Even my grandkids were disappointed because that is usually their favorite treat when we go camping. Hopefullunit was just one bad batch. read more

Panera will always offer fresh bread and hot soups! This location was busy busy at 6pm, and yet the service was fast and the food was delicious. The facility was in a bit of shambles (maybe) due to the busy bustling crowd, but the employees remained kind and outgoing. read more

The counter employee seemed bothered when taking my order. They never called my name when the order was done. I ordered soup and they gave me no spoon and when I I opened my sandwich (five minutes later the bread was soggy. What a waste of money and an even bigger disappointment. read more

We came in the morning to get some breakfast before our soccer game. The place was really clean. We ordered our food at the desk/cashier area and the person to take our order was so nice (Linda). I got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on ciabatta bread. The sandwich was good. So much better than our hotel breakfast. Good breakfast, nice people, clean floors/tables, great place! read more

I stopped in for a salad on a Friday evening. There were hardly any baked goods available. I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad. The lettuce was fresh but lots of the white chunks that are bitter. It was heavy on the dressing. The salad was underwhelming. I do like their freshly brewed iced tea and lemonade. I always liked coming here to relax & enjoy some food. The music is at a good level & upbeat. There is one thing that really irked me. Orders are placed at a cash register after reading a menu that's high up on a wall. You are given a cup to get your own beverage and a pager to pick your own meal. Then you hope to find a fairly clean table that has been bussed by the previous customer. You pick up your own meal at a counter & return the pager. My question is WHY am I asked to add a tip to my bill? If I did leave a tip, who gets it? The cashier? Food assembler? Baker? There's no server, food runner, or busser. The only person who deserves a tip is a delivery person who uses their own vehicle for deliveries. Okay, the rant is finished. I do applaud Panera for donating to the local food banks. It is nice that those who are disadvantaged can get breads and treats that are delicious. Thank you for the donation. read more

Stopped in while poking around Hershey for the evening, as I was in the mood for a known quantity...and Panera usually fills the bill. I ordered a 'U pick 2' - Bacon Turkey Bravo & Chicken Noodle soup & sat myself down near the fireplace. Order was up in the usual amount of time - everything correct & 'consistently Panera'. I actually ended up here again a week or 2 later & had the same experience - no worries about this location! read more

We always order soup and baguette on the side. We like the soup but their baguette is getting smaller every time.

It doesn't matter which Panera Bread we go to, the orders include almost the same thing every time. A strawberry smoothie. My youngest loves the strawberry smoothie from Panera Bread. I really like using the kiosks inside for when I order because it remembers my favorites list. Every Panera looks similar, not a ton of frills. The drink stations are nice because you can refill your drink before leaving. The open kitchen is nice because you can talk to a person in the event you have a question or issue. My food might not always be the best, but as long as the Strawberry Smoothie continues to be made the exact same way at every location, I will continue to give 5 stars because you made my kids day. read more

TO START, THIS IS THE WORST PANERA EVER. I have been to many paneras and this one, is by far the most awful, disgusting, repulsing restaurant ever. The employees were constantly chatting and laughing instead of doing their work which caused our order to take over 30 minutes. IT WAS NOT EVEN CROWDED. IT WAS A TUESDAY AT 11. The coffee was MISLABELED, the flavored coffee was in the regular coffee canister which was also cold. ON TOP OF THAT, they only give you your drink cups when the food comes out instead of allowing you to have a drink while waiting, which would've made the 30 minute wait go quicker. The food was not much better, it was greasy and unpleasant. Do not go to this panera unless you want your day ruined. read more

This is the best Panera I've been to. the staff was very friendly. The grilled cheese and Mediterranean salad were perfect. Best part was a manager that went around to make sure everyone was content. He even gave my daughter a free cookie. Wow. read more

Average food served by rude people. Apparently if you interrupt them from using their cell phones they get so upset they don't acknowledge you at all. Use zero manners and give you dirty looks. Not looking for stellar service but manners would be nice. If you're seeking the same, another nearby location would be best, read more

We ordered thru the kiosk. My husband asked for our drink cups and was curtly told we would get them with our food. When we got our food, no cups. We had to again request our drink cups. I ordered a sandwich with no lettuce and no tomatoes. Sandwich came with lettuce and tomato on it. My husband took the sandwich back and the woman at he counter rudely said "what's wrong with it?" She then continued to make other food and make us wait for another 5 minutes for the correct sandwich. My husband waited at the counter for the sandwich. The sandwich was put on the counter and my husband was never told it was the corrected order. Our receipt said that "accuracy matters . If your order is not correct please let a manager know". Guess who the manager was?! The rude woman who made the wrong sandwich. This is the worst Panera location! read more

This place has a great feeling right when you walk in the door. The people treat you well and the service is quick. The food is so good that it keeps you coming back for more. Their bread is famous for a reason. It has a sandwich shop/coffee shop shop type of feel. read more

Came for a quick breakfast with my son. Ordered a Pumpkin Muffin and a Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal with extra cinnamon topping. Our eat-in order took about 10 minutes. The location didn't appear to be busy, but they could have used one extra person working the front of the house. There were only two people working registers, checking orders upon completion and running outside for curbside pickup. My son seemed to like his muffin. Would be nice if it came out heated upon request, but heating it yourself in their microwave is pretty standard at all Paneras I've been to. The oatmeal was okay. The did add extra cinnamon topping as requested, but the overall temp was inconsistent throughout. Speaking of temperature, this location is always freezing! The ac seems to be on all the time regardless of the temp outside. Bring a sweatshirt! read more

Come on Panera...Really? Ordered a pick two sandwich to include a Mediterranean veggie and these are the tomatoes they gave me on that. Thank God, my granddaughter had tomatoes that she doesn't like on her turkey sandwich and I got hers, but on her turkey avocado sandwiche this is the amount of avocado she got on it. This is why I hate eating at chain restaurants. read more

I was in Hershey and wanted to get a quick bite to eat for breakfast so I decided to stop off at this Panera Bread located on the outskirts of Hummelstown. This Panera is located in a large shopping center, but is located in an isolated building. Inside of this Panera you have the option to order from their kiosks or from the cashiers. I decided to order from the kiosk and got a steak, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel along with a strawberry banana smoothie. After around 5-10 minutes my sandwich and smoothie was dropped off at my table. I have never had that happen to me before at Panera, but I appreciated it. My breakfast sandwich, which is fairly new at Panera was very good. The bagel was moist, thick and covered in tasty toppings. The steak and cheese were also very tasty. My strawberry smoothie was tasty and on the standards of all the other Panera's. Altogether, this is an above average Panera with friendly food and kind staff. read more

So the food was good, staff was really nice. Took the food to go since we just got out of the gym. Got a cup of French onion soup and half a sandwich. Both tasted good. The issue is when I got towards the bottom of the French onion I felt something heavy in there, so I pulled it out, and it was a damn quarter!! I could have choked on the thing! That is the last thing I ever would have expected to find in my soup, I have no idea where it has even been. read more

Swing by for breakfast before sacrificing myself to the magic of Hershey park. They really do a bunch of excellent breakfast options. Almost embarrassed to admit we have been to different Paneras the last 3 days for breakfast while on the way to adventures. We have mainly had - the Greek yoghurt and fruit (way better than expected- thick yoghurt, and they separate the granola so it doesn't go soggy ), bagels , sandwiches with egg/ bacon/ sausage, scones, egg soufflé, coffee. My personal favourite was the scrambled egg and cheese sandwich plus the blueberry scone - nice crunchy edges- I hate the soggy ones. Overall Panera have a great model, it's clean and airy inside, they are separating tables for social distancing, food is good and fresh etc etc. What kills me / cracks me up is how often they screw up the order- it's our 3rd breakfast at Panera and every day they have got stuff wrong. Specific examples - bagel wasn't toasted and had no cream cheese today. Yesterday sandwiches were on ciabatta instead of brioche Day before, eggs were fried instead of scrambled. They are always super nice and fix it all, but I do laugh and wonder why some of the 19 people working there can't seem to do any checking of the actual orders...! read more

Horrible service. First was rude. Skipped our order a total of 9 times then proceeded to throw our food in the wrong sized to-go cup although we ordered in. Not to mention how disgusting the bathrooms were. Disappointed. read more

Tried new salad and it was so dry. I even requested extra dressing which they did not include. They never get an order right at this location. There are many restaurants in the area. Do yourself a favor and try them instead. read more

Well, let me just say that I LOVE Panera. I should also say how disappointed I am to write this review. I have gastro issues, so I don't eat much because I don't have an appetite. So when I crave something it's a big deal. I ordered from Panera, fully ready to pick it up until I saw delivery. Since I just got in from running errands, I thought I'd let them deliver to me. I ordered the bacon cheese melt, a caramel iced coffee, four cookies and another dessert. I added extra things to the sandwhich - avocado, smoked tomato relish, emerald greens, changed my cheese from American to white cheddar - oh - and extra bacon. On pepper focaccia bread, so I figured the bread could handle the extra fixins. I placed my order, asking for no-contact delivery and explicit instructions as to where I was located. I asked that delivery be between 5:45 and 6:00, and read that I could track my order and be notified when it was on the way. At about 5:45 I tracked my order, only to read they were still preparing it - which was fine, at least I knew where in the process it was. Approximately 6:10, my boyfriend went outside and said "It's here - but I don't know how long it's been here!" Let me say that the cup was sweating profusely, the whipped cream and ice had all but melted. So I call and ask to speak to a manager, and I'm on the phone with - I'll call him N. I explain to him what happened - at this point I hadn't looked in the bag. He seemed very uninterested in my plight. I explain the app said someone would contact me when it was being delivered - he said "well I don't know much about the app." To which I responded "But you DO know about delivery and how it works - especially the no-contact delivery??? Unless you tell me this is the very first delivery made." He had no answers and to be quite honest, I'm sure a half-hearted apology was made -- and he did offer to send over a new drink. But how do you know it's not spit in?? Anyway - the sandwich was so messy; no extra bacon or sauce, and the avocado was in chunks as opposed to sliced. I paid $3.19 for extra bacon. Considering it was a bacon cheese melt, I should have gotten bacon in every bite. While the smoked tomato relish was tasty, the skins were so tough I couldn't chew them. And of course it was cold. Which I know happens but I live maybe ten minutes away. To summarize, not only was the food disappointing, I found the customer service to be sorely lacking indeed. I've been to that Panera so many times and know the food is always visually appealing and I get it the way I order it...So be warned if you ask for delivery! read more

The best thing about our visit was the nice young kid behind the counter. That was the dirtiest Panera I have been in. Carpeting is torn up here and there, wallpaper is coming off and the men's urinal, according to my husband, has not been fixed in quite sometime. We have given it a couple of chances, but no more!!!!! For Hershey and being right down the road from a big amusement park, I expected more! read more

Super run down, dirty and disorganized. The floors were covered in crumbs, every table was covered in crumbs and filth. The tile floors were incredibly sticky and disgusting as if no one mopped it in days, if not weeks. The bakery stands were bare and all the bins were yellow and burnt. The service was incredibly slow. Perhaps corporate should check into this place. read more

One of the better service Panera's I've been to. No crowds and they bring your order to your table. The staff didn't roll their eyes or give me attitude when I asked for an item no longer on the menu. They had a nice outdoor seating area and overall the inside was very clean. On the downside, my sierra turkey was lacking a good ratio of yummy "inners" which makes it a sandwich as this one was primarily bread/lettuce. Also the bathroom was the most outdated and unattractive I've seen at a Panera's. But high fives for their attentive and friendly staff and prompt delivery to my table. read more

Went here a couple months ago and I let it slide in the moment, but today me and my family wanted a quick and easy dinner for Christmas Eve, checked their hours and said they were open, drove all the way there to see that they're closed!!! Of course no grocery stores or other restaurants are open. We already know their service is super slow. Employees don't seem to know what they're doing or how the handle customers. Manager is not sympathetic. I've watched multiple people walk out of here dissatisfied. Don't waste your time with this place, because I definitely won't be going here again. read more

For the most part there food is good. They always have my food ready on time or delivered when it should be. But,the key here is how often is right? However, there is a really nice guy who works there with some tattoos and glasses who is quite helpful. Tall and he's just really awesome. I've noticed when he is there things seem to go a lot smoother but, they really need to get someone else in there when he's not there. I'm not even sure if he's Management?! Plus, most of them are incredibly mopey and have zero personality except him and don't want to help you. Let's face it. Panera is still a chain and we know what to expect when we order but, we want to GET what we ordered. Your delivery people are awesome and funny and super nice they need to rub off on some of the o side staff. read more

Manager doesn't know how to talk to customers. Employees don't know how to move their ass and put premade soup in a bowl in under an hour

Be prepared for a long wait and for them to be out of something. Used to frequent this location as it was the closest to my apartment, but I'll be driving the extra 15-20 minutes to Harrisburg for one of their other locations. Recently each time I stop by they're out of one of the main ingredients on my sandwich: No avocado for a bacon turkey avocado sandwich, no tomatoes for a salad and heck this last time they were out of at least 5 kinds of bread! I ordered my sandwich on honey wheat bread since they were out of tomato basil (and every other type it seems) only to have a manger come to us 15 minutes later and inform me they too were out of wheat bread...I can forgive an ingredient here and there but bread is in your name. read more

On a day (Christmas Eve) where families matter most, this Panera Bread & staff went out of their way to take care of our families due to an emergency. We can't thank them enough for what they did when we were in a time of need. Happy Holidays (Merry Christmas for those that celebrate). Thank you. P.S their food & coffee was great. read more

Food is ass, always something wrong. Every lunch meat is somewhat slimy and smells rotten. The vibe is bleak and uninviting. Friendly staff but when I talked to the manager Abbey everyone seemed scared. She provided bad service and seemed somewhat hostile towards her staff. She should loose her position and find somewhere else to terrorize the people she is supposed to help. Anyway I don't recommend this panera and I would avoid it to not support her or this god awful food. read more

20min for a small Eat in order w 2 sandwiches and 1 drink and they missed an item. Was not during a busy time.

I love this place. Unfortunately the staff leaves something to be desired at times. Mornings are hard but when you can hear them behind the counter laughing but the come to help you as if you have stolen their kitten it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Between that and taking forever to make your order when it is the only one on the board makes me wonder about going back. read more

So first let me start by saying we got four meals and a kiddie meal along with two cookies for the nieces. The price point was $50. Although I think of this as a fast food joint due to how you place your order at the counter (kinda annoying), the bill would reflect more of a sit down restaurant, which is also what this is. Regardless, you are paying for freshness and high quality food. So I guess I can't complain. They have great food here. Their salads and broth bowls are so fresh and good! We also tried the tortellini which was a smaller portion than i expected but it was really good. The kids mac and cheese was loved by my niece. I really need to go back for the wonton broth bowl! This place is a nice treat! read more

This Panera was excellent. In a prime location with plenty of space to park. The screens in the front made it easy to order without having to place an order at the cashier. An employee even came over to bring our food over to us which doesn't happen at my regular Panera location. We ordered the Napa Almond Chicken Salad, Tomato Grilled Cheese, Mac and Cheese, lemon drop cookie, coconut macaroons, candy cookie, lemonade, Pepsi, and the hot chocolate. Everything was absolutely delicious and clean! The employees were also super friendly and helpful! read more

Terrible service. Did a mobile order, got there ten minutes after the order was ready sat there for another ten. Came out with my bag, drove home to realize two my sandwiches were missing. Tried calling three times, no answer. Drove back so another 20 minutes pass. Walk in, it's NOT even busy! Walk over and say I'm missing two sandwiches, they go, "oh this?" YES THAT! Then I tell them I drove the whole way home to just find out my sandwiches that were sitting on their counter werent in my bag. They didn't offer me a refund for my now COLD sandwiches, just a cookie. No thanks I don't want your cookie. read more
