Numerous Forgotten items in my order, they wrapped the grilled cheese sandwich so sloppy that it was falling out of the paper when I took it from the bag, and they gave zero silverware for an order with two bowls of soup and Mac n cheese. Restaurant was not even busy upon arrival. Not impressed. read more

Normally when we come here, we have no issues. We came in for lunch today, December 4 and the floors when you walk in we're covered in slush, and water, where my wife slipped a little. The garbage cans were overflowing, the place for the dirty dishes were overflowing with dirty dishes at both locations, the coffee bar was filthy, lemonade was almost empty, lids were almost out, no large cups were. Ordered a broccoli Mac and cheese bread bowl and got broccoli cheese soup instead. The waitress said that they rang up the wrong order and we used the kiosk to order it. Then they said they never made the broccoli and that it would be another minute to make, even though they gave us a broccoli bread bowl soup without saying anything. This was by far the worst experience I've had coming here read more

See all

Worst place ever. They need to close this place. The food they sell is like 2 days old. The service is terrible and not because of the language barrier just terrible service and they starting automatically adding service fee even for carry out read more

Extremely long wait with not many customers in the first place. We waited for an hour and asked if our meal was coming an got a unhelpful answer. read more

I don't know but i like it there. Good place to get work or school done. Unlimited sips for enough Caffine to motivate me.

Probably the most dependable and comfy Panera Bread I've ever been to. My local Panera is a mess by comparison. Baked goods are always fully stocked and salad lettuce is always fresh. I would say that I would not get soup at any Panera Bread because it is too thick and tastes canned not fresh. Warm grain bowls are also great and I hope the franchise adds more soon. Also try the prickly pear fresca and green passion smoothie. You won't regret it! read more

This 5 star review reflects the dedicated employee, Andrew. He keeps an eye on the floor making sure the space is clean and guests are taken care of. He really goes above and beyond! Thank you Andrew!! read more

This was the worst service and worst food. Ordered pick twos with French onion soup to eat in and after waiting 40 minutes we were given a take out bag with our food thrown in. My husband ordered a bread bowl and was not given a plate so had to eat off a napkin. No baguettes were in the bag and no fork for my salad. The soup had no cheese or croutons & when I went up to discuss I was told the cheese must have melted and they were out of croutons. Mozzarella cheese does not melt into liquid so it was just missed. No apologies- or anything. To top it off the people in the kitchen had Dominoes delivered while we were waiting for our food! That speaks volumes!! read more

The white cheddar Mac & cheese was over cooked and gummy in texture, and the bread roll was just a tad under. Disappointing experience. Cashier was nice. Green tea drink as expected. Thought they had a "peach braid," but the sign was covered in crumbs and actually said "pecan braid." Door sticks so it's hard to enter and the operating hours listing on the door doesn't read out well for comprehension. read more

This is not addressed to the franchise rather than to this specific location. This is the only place in town with decent fresh-ish food but Customer service isn't the best. Cooks are careless and sandwiches are sloppy. I did a drive thru order today and everything about my order was wrong . My sandwich had no chicken and too much lettuce. Perhaps they were running out of chicken salad but they could've said something. I would have picked something else. They slapped some mayo and a ton of lettuce and tomato on my sandwich but not a trace of chicken salad. I also ordered a medium unsweetened tea and I got a large sweeter lemonade tea. When I paid she yanked my card out of my hand. No thank you. Maybe the person behind me was an ass and they mixed me up with them? ‍ No receipt either. $9 I've gotten other things in the past with similar issues and just generally let it go as it's never worth the headache. Support a local place instead. This place isn't worth the time. I have a $50 gift card but I'm just going to give it away. read more

If you have ever been at panera, then you know what to expect. If not, this chain is known for their bagels and bread but stick around for soups and salads. The pick two is a great option for someone who is indecisive like me. Had the french onion soup and the chicken strawberry poppyseed salad. Salad was generous on meat and fruit. Staff is friendly and can get you in and out pretty quickly. read more

Okay, so who's the joker that designed this ridiculous parking location layout? I do love Panera, but this has got to go down in history as the most ridiculous planning for a store! I was sooo annoyed.... LOL Basically, this location is on a corner... where the entrance is and some parking. And they just have this super awkward drive thru on the other side w/ a one-way to get the other side, but clearly i'm not the only one who went the wrong way through the one way. ha! Once inside, you can relax -- cause this location is just like others. Tons of sweets tempting you right away.... For a quick sweet treat, I like the Pecan braid & iced Green Tea. Free WiFi :) read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Mankato, Minnesota

Out of everything, no communication while we waited. Seems to be managed poorly. Long waits for a bagel and out of coffee at a coffee place seems silly. read more

Great sourdough bread ! Fast and friendly service. I will try other selections next visit.

Your food is trash, your bread is hard and I found a hair in my food. Super over hyped chain.

Went through the drive-through was very disappointing it was slow. Once I got my food the lady laughed at my bag and handed it to me to find a half eaten piece of bread in my bag.. I will never be coming back to this Panera bread establishment. I am very mad. read more

Placed an online order at 7:18pm, promised at 7:38pm. By 7:53pm, 15 minutes after promised, I inquired about my order. I was told there were still 5 orders ahead of me. I asked for a refund and was told they would cancel and it would show up on my card. Let's hope that happens. Will definitely not be coming back anytime soon. read more

this place is absolutely sickening, every worker ive talked to is SO rude! but not mt, courtney thinks she's all that and she has bow legged legs and she walks funny, every dish has been dirty and i feel sick theyre sloppy and messy and they have an ant and cockroach infestation in the bakery and sometimes there's bugs on the bread and they still give them to customers, and they have really strange people in the restrooms, i walked in and there was a man pleasing himself and i told the workers and they did abt nothin. read more

I had the new Tuscan chicken sandwich for lunch at Panera in Mankato on TUES. It was absolutely the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Delicious.! read more

Ordered for pickup here and had one of the worst experiences ever here, there is no good parking for curbside pickup which can lead to confusion to both customers and employees, they forgot to give me the chai tea I ordered and was missing utensils and napkins, and the salad we ordered wasn't really a salad. I usually don't complain or write reviews but I'm very upset with it right now. read more

Food is great, drinks are great. Service is very quick, orders are prepared in just a minute or two. Free wifi is great, but the catch is that it rarely actually works properly. I can connect but its either painfully slow or things just don't load. Its been like that every single time I've visited. Considering how heavily they tout their free wifi, I expect it to actually be functional. read more

Service here is a bunch of juveniles I just got run over by one of them think my toe is sprained

I was spoiled in college because I lived right down the street from Panera. Their soups are phenomenal and their sandwiches are so fresh. Every time I go home to visit my parents, I have a lunch date with my mom and this is where we go. My mom loves the coffee. When I saw that there weren't any Panera Breads in Arizona, I was upset. I know there are places that are like it but they are not the same to me. No one can beat the taste of their chicken and wild rice soup. It is the best in December when it is snowing and below zero. I am one of those people that have a favorite meal so I always order the same thing. Hey, at least I know it will be yummy. I always get dragged over to the sweets too because they look and taste really good. Usually, you can get a pastry for 99 cents with a meal. I am a bagel fan too so I usually walk out with a dozen bagels because they are so fresh and delicious. I need to stop writing about this place because I am starting to drool. read more

My friends and I came in for breakfast this morning (we wanted to try some place different) February 4, around 8:30 or so. The counter staff did not seem happy nor were they helpful...didn't get on item ordered on our ticket so we opted to forget about it. When our light came on to pick up food, I had no idea where to pick it up and the staff person responded rudely. Come time to get coffee, the pots were almost empty. There was no silverware in sight, thought it might be by the coffee....no one around that seemed to care! The food was good, but I would rate the customer service as a 1 on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest. We were so disappointed and probably will not return to eat here again! I honestly think a customer service talk is in order. What happened to the concept "The customer comes first?" Disappointed customer. read more

The last 4 times I have been to Panera their grilled cheese sandwiches have been hard. The tomato soup is AMAZING, but haven't been impressed with the grilled/hot sandwiches I've experienced. read more
