Now I'm no rocket scientist, but it really shouldn't take 15 minutes to get a cup of hot tea--especially when you have to make the tea yourself. My visit to the Panera Bread on Baltimore Ave in Laurel was met with long lines as usual, and the experience was disappointing. I'm not sure if the location is short-staffed or if the employees just lack a sense of urgency, but the service was slow and unorganized. After all that waiting, the tea wasn't even that great. read more

It took me 15 minutes on a quiet afternoon to complete my order. The drive-thru is supposed to be quick and convenient. I ordered two plain bagels and ended up getting one that was garlic flavored. I should've just went to the store. For three dollars I could've gotten a whole bag of bagels and didn't have to worry about waiting a disrespectful amount of time to receive them burnt and cold at the same time. This area is poor for food service - it's a shame. I regret not getting my receipt as I hoped on having no issues - how can you screw up two plain bagels?? read more

Food: Went here for my parent's dinner. Surprised there was no line in the drive thru at 6:15pm. They both wanted grilled cheese sandwiches ‍ but who am I to ask why?! Service: prompt Ambiance: it was the drive thru. Clean, no complaints read more

I always forget that this location exists because it's such an annoying location to get to, their parking lot is tiny, and that shopping center it's in is always so ridiculously crowded and busy, which I acknowledge isn't within Panera's control. I ordered a soup and salad for Rapid Pick-up. The system is flawed. I received an app notification and e-mail message saying my order is ready at the pickup shelf. It was not. Someone else's order was in the cubby. Most likely because of theft, they keep some of the orders elsewhere within reach of the staff. I asked about my order, and the employee rudely asked, "Well, what did you order?" I'd just much prefer to go to the other Laurel one on Laurel-Bowie Road, which has a huge lot with many shaded parking spots, faster and friendlier service, and a cleaner interior. read more

The go food is fine it's the drive thru line, you literally need to schedule time to sit. It's a little out of hand in the morning but I know they're actively hiring so if you're looking please apply .s/n I'm so glad the girl with the tude is gone I guess 'karma' does its job on its own time. read more

My experience was awesome! I did not want to get the same thing I always got, and the cashier suggested their new sandwich. I was a little sketchy only because I really didn't want chicken, but the sauce on this sandwich is good!! The entire sandwich is yummy!! Everything was good and fresh. If you don't like spicy, I wouldn't try it. I love spicy food. It was but unbearable it was just right! I told him the salad and sandwich were one of the same. I would definitely go back to get this sandwich. They should make this a regular on their menu. read more

Finally decided to give Panera Bread a try! I was not disappointed. I went into the restaurant before to buy gift card for some wonderful teachers and was impressed by the aesthetics and great customer service I received. I even received a $10 gift card for myself for buying gift cards! I'm glad I've added another alternative fast food option to my list. The flatbread was fresh from pick and my caesar salad was portion just right. I am definitely looking forward to trying other items on Panera Bread menu. read more

Today was my first visit to this location. I really like the convenience of Panera Bread locations with the drive thru feature. There were only a few cars in the line. I ordered the You-pick-two meal, which on this visit consisted of the Mediterranean veggie sandwich and the broccoli cheddar soup. Since I earned a reward from my previous visits, I used it towards this purchase. I really like their rewards program. The sandwich was good as usual. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was soft. The soup is always amazing. On a side note, I purchased the Panera Bread soup at the grocery store and it was not as good. Nevertheless, the overall meal was tasty. The efficiency of the drive thru window was great. I placed the order and received it within a reasonable amount of time. It is impressive that the food is made-to-order and available in such a short period of time. I have experienced much longer wait times going inside. read more

This location is close to my job. I often ordered lunch from here when I don't bring my lunch. I always order from my car outside of my job and my food is always ready by the time I make the short ten minute drive. The food is consistently good. I've never had an issue with the quality of the food at this location. I frequently order the pick two, with a salad and a sandwich. If you order through their app, you recent coupons for frequent visits. read more

I ordered lunch for my office for the second time this year. I forgot how dissappointed we were the first time. The sandwiches are so sloppy. And you can't put peoples names on the orders. I have ordered over $500.00 in food and still have had no rewards. I won't be ordering from here anymore. All of my favorites are gone, and the food is just so so. read more

The food was overpriced and small portions. The restaurant was not very clean. I'd say messy. I got the 1/2 frontega chicken and mac&cheese. Bleh. I was able to consume my sandwich and the bread on the side. The Mac and cheese was thrown away. read more

I am a true Panera bread girl! I come daily. One for work and 2 for the breakfast while doing school drop off. The staff Including management is always friendly, making sure that the food is hot, fresh and on point. I love that I am there enough for them to know my name. That also could be bad. Lol Ambiance is always great. Not to loud so you can work and use the Wi-Fi. I actually hold interviews there. If I could complain about anything is the ac being a little high for me but it's 100 degrees outside so it does make sense. I prefer the winter when they have the fireplace burning! It's so cozy. Clearly I'm a winter person. You can't go wrong visiting any Panera read more

Second time ordering through app and both times order was not right. First time they forgot my sandwich and my friends sandwich had one tablespoon of meat.

Gimme a break. The Buffalo chicken baguette.....with a ridiculously tiny amount of chicken. Even the onions are skimpy. I see 3 slivers. Husband's Black Forest/Gouda baguette had slightly more protein. Neither one is worth the price when I compare against the marketing photos. Once again disappointed by Panera.

Me and my mother decided to get a chicken noodle soup and a salad before we hit the road. The food was ok, typical Panera meal. But the service was a completely different story, while we were waiting on our food in the drive-thru, I could see the operators playing like a bunch of children behind the desk. Slapping each other playfully with rags as if they don't have a job to do. 2 whole cars passed us and the only reason we didn't leave is because my mom ordered her food on the Panera App. Its a typical Panera but Id recommend you not order there at night. read more

Walked in I was greeted Nicely however when I asked the associate what where the ingredients in the salad because they were not listed it was a problem . Eventually she read them, I asked was their a menu so I could see what's he ingredients. The associate read two different selections off to me and I just went on and chose . I had the green Cobb salad , shredded chicken , red onion, avocado , cherry tomatoes bacon crumbles and a few other things . The dressing said ranch but it was a greenish color but it was great . The only concern I had was the the lettuce , before mixing the dressing . I noticed that a good portion of the lettuce was wilted and brown or some of the leafy green had black edges . I removed a good amount and was disappointed that this green salad wasn't as green as advertised . Outside of that my overall experience was fine , just wish the greens were a bit more fresh . read more

If I could give lower than one star, I would. I thought I'd try something new and ordered a warm bowl to go - the Baja bowl. What I got looked like a small side. The dish didn't mention black beans and the ones they gave were also undercooked somehow. It was underwhelming to say the least. I've gotten bowls at Mexican places - twice as much, tastes way better and even costs less. They also didn't give me the side. I think this is atleast the 2nd time they haven't included a side. I don't think I'll be going back at all 6/7 update: I have to say that I complained about it via contact us and while they didn't respond to the email they just sent me a refund read more

They always skimp on ingredients. I say they are good for coffee and pastries, unless you like overpaying and getting few ingredients.

Good tasty bagels and pastries. Service is great the workers are polite and friendly, the restaurant is always clean and welcoming

Pros; Friendly service. Cons; Filthy restaurant Not enough meat on your sandwich for what you pay for. I ordered one thing and got something different. This is a mixed review, I'm torn how to score it. First things first, the staff is really friendly and nice. The resteraunt itself was filthy, trash and food was all over the floor everywhere. Someone needs to pick up a broom. I ordered the half Steak and White Cheddar Panini with a bowl of the Onion Soup. To be Frank, the soup was garbage! I mean terrible. The sandwhich was thin slices of steak on a roll with horseradish sauce and red onions but the amount of meat on the sandwich for what you pay stinks however it was tasty but it was not a panini, it was a sandwhich. The roll was nicely toasted being crispy on the outside and soft inside but there was way too much bread for the amount of meat that you get. Pass on this place read more

I'm a huge Panera fan and especially right now with the unlimited coffee subscription! They seem to allowing indoor dining at this location, but during my most recent visit, I chose to sit outside and enjoy my breakfast. Over these last several months of quarantine, I haven't been to any outdoor dining places, but I felt safe sitting here and it was early in the morning. Definitely not too crowded. It was easy to order and the service here is great! read more

In my first review of this Panera in Laurel, I erred. I paid too much attention to how this Panera stacked up against others in terms of location and atmosphere and not enough attention to how it stacks up in terms of food. With toasted cinnamon crunch bagels with sausage and egg sandwiches that call out like mythological sirens; Baja and Mediterranean bowls that satiate those that want taste and something less sweet; steel-cut oatmeal covered in blankets of strawberries with the potential to add blueberries for a dollar extra; and triple fudge walnut cookies and kitchen sink cookies that make Halloween trick or treating seem like a run to the nearest organic market for kale and brussel sprouts, this Panera has become our favorite for both the savory and sweet. read more

Super disappointed with the service here. We went through the drive thru and it took forever. I thought ok fine maybe someone had a big order. Then we get there & they gave us the wrong coffee order and then we drive to the parking lot & found out they forgot an entire flatbread that we ordered. Came back into the store, no apology, they then said to wait because they hadn't even made it?? We waited 15+ mins for flatbread that should have been made the first time around at the drive thru but the order wasn't even started. Food tasted like that of any other Panera but service was terrible. read more

I'm not a huge fan of Panera, but I was having a lunch meeting and this was the spot that was chosen. I got the green smoothie and was happy with it.

Other people at the meeting also got food and seemed to enjoy it. read more

I must say I've always been pleasantly pleased with everything I have ordered from this location. I always get the curbside service, I'm never disappointed every team member always seems very engaging and friendly and always has a smile for me which I appreciate during these difficult times. I can always count on efficient service welcoming vibes and fresh food. I love their new BBQ salad and I'm a stickler for the potato chips! Best kettle chips ever....perfect crunch and salt factor. The agave lemonade is always refreshing. The steak in the sandwich is perfect tender and moist splurge and get extra you won't regret it! The one an only time they left some off my order I got extra chips! Score! The portions are nice I always have some salad for later!

I love Panera Bread but they really need to hire customer friendly employees. Today I visited and my rewards card didn't exist in their system even with showing them my card. I was told sorry nothing we can do I'm not IT. I quickly corrected her and said well you can let the store manager know about this and be a little more polite with customers. I did reach out to the Panera customer service number and was able to learn that particular location has an outage with the rewards program something Panera could have done instead of acting like it wasn't their problem. Yet another bad experience at the drive thru on 2/25. I found that I was prompting the young person inside and after I gave my order had to yell HELLOOOOO which she replied yeah. This is totally ridiculous customer service. I pulled out of line and opted for McDonald's. read more
