Came here with a friend today and had a delicious meal! I tried the pick two with a chicken Roma Asiago bagel stack and the mac & cheese. The sandwhich was really good! I've never tried it, but I really liked the bagel and sauces. The Mac is a classic. I know it's received criticism online, but it's quite comforting. I used the kiosk to order, so I didn't speak to staff much, but you can tell they're working hard behind the counter and cleaning up. read more

I used to really like the broccoli cheddar soup- but recently tried it and it was overly thick and not soup like at all Flavor was still good but not a fan of the consistency Also ordered a couple pastries The cinnamon roll was ok- quite hard but tasted fine The pecan braid was good- very sweet and lots of icing! read more

Had an adequate experience here. I was here for a work meeting, and the space was nice for that. Found a large enough table to get out a couple laptops and iPads without any issue. The cinnamon roll was really good, coffee was all empty when we initially ordered, but they got the pots refilled within a couple minutes. I appreciated the reusable cups and the ability to get refills! read more

Stopped in for lunch & had the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken salad which was filling & tasty. The only turnoff was the thinly sliced chicken which lacked a solid taste and would have been better to be a half or whole breast. Partner had the Chicken Noodle soup in a bowl ... needless to say the bowl should have been filled more. Taste was ok & lacked enough chicken. Ordered at the counter which was a slow process & person did not speak up load enough for such a busy place. Next time I will use the ordering kiosk or app. Place was super busy yet was well kept & clean. read more

Panera Bread - See the Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup in a half filled bowl... this is as picked up. - Sandwiches Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

This Panera has been around for years but still a great place to grab a bakery item, soup. Salad, or sandwiches. I usually select a small business as opposed to a big chain but I feel that this particular Panera deserves a shout out! The employees are friendly, work hard to keep the restaurant clean, and keep the coffee filled! Plus I've never had Panera bagel (or any of their baked goods) disappoint. The mornings are always buzzing with customers and orders. I also appreciate that the company supports local schools with fundraising. read more

It was very busy during the lunch hour. When we ordered, we weren't rushed. Ben took our order and was very calm and helped us with our multiple gift cards. He even took the time to put the remaining balances on one gift card to avoid confusion later. Thanks Ben! read more

As someone who has used Panera for large catering orders I enjoy this place and the variety. More recently they really are backed up and it feels like they get overwhelmed during the rush. I don't mind waiting for good food but you don't come to Panera to wait 20 minutes which has happened twice now.... My kids love the Mac N Cheese but it has been a struggle that makes it a challenge read more

We love our sip club membership and we love Panera! We ordered in the App, walked in and grabbed our cup and then proceeded to fill them with caffeinated deliciousness. This location was clean and the staff were friendly and professional. Onward to more Panera locations! read more

Deliver you a good. Food not so much. Haven't been to Panera in some time so was looking forward to something different had the half French ciabatta Dipper with a cup of broccoli cheddar soup was good. French Dipper was totally disappointment. When I first saw the package I thought it was a fat egg roll lol. It was really small it wasn't even half it was more like a fourth. The bread was toasted too dark there was hardly any meat and it basically was flavorless. It had some french onion broth to dip it in that had no flavor. It totally was not worth the money and I can't believe the small portion. If that's what they've come to for their half sandwiches it's definitely not worth it to order from them. Had a candy cookie and TBH the cookie was bigger than the sandwich read more

Stopped in for a later lunch on a Saturday. Was hoping the crowds would be a little slower at 1:30 but it was packed. Parking at this location is a bit tricky as the small lot is shared by multiple stores so you might end up in the next lot over. Opted to order at the kiosks instead of in person based on lines but the kiosks has on e not working and the one we choose only registered the "touches" about 1/2 the time so that resulted in a bit of frustration. We got everything ordered for our group of 4 and waited for our text to say food was ready. The wait took a bit longer than expected, to the point where one of our group went up to check status since the kiosk orders didn't appear to be on the order board. We got a variety of items (flatbread, Mac and cheese, sandwich, soup and a warm bowl) and food was tasty all around and consistent with what we've tried at other Paneras. Overall a good fast/casual option if you're looking for a salad, soup or sandwich. read more

I noticed that ham came back to the menu as protein ingredient for the sandwich. That was really good. I had a ham, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. This was probably the tastiest sandwich for breakfast I have had at a Panera My order came out exactly how I wanted it. No issues at all. Everything was perfect. I wasn't a super fan of the Greek yogurt because it was a little overly sweet to my taste I had a very enjoyable test while seeing the sunrise through the window read more

I had a good experience at this Panera . My soup was good and nice atmosphere. Nice employees and helpful. friendly, clean wash rooms. I had my friends with me and they really enjoyed everything. Thia is a great place to go on Sunday afternoons for lunch . read more

Super slow, disorganized, and mediocre food. Like everywhere, Panera is understaffed. They have one cashier on a Sunday at noon & yet they're continuing to take online orders. Work on the brick & mortar customers first, if you can't handle doing both. They have ordering kiosks, however none of them had the pagers filled. We had to enter our name on the kiosk. We were told that our name would then be called once our order was ready. 25 minutes later our order was set up on the table, but our name was never called. We were right next to the table, so it wasn't like we didn't hear it. As for the food, the steak & cheddar sandwich I ordered was full of pickled onions & very little meat. My grandma's turkey sandwich was overflowing in Mayo. Very little care for presentation, as both sandwiches were falling out of the bread. Staffing issues can't be helped, but you can certainly make your team more efficient & it was clear that this wasn't happening at Panera. I'll try elsewhere next time read more

Not sure what happened here. Never seen anyone cut a bagel like this. Got home to find every single bagel looking like this. read more

Panera Bread - I don't even know what to say It takes talent for an employee to be this bad at cutting a bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Panera is pretty nice in that you know you'll be able to get a satisfying, relatively healthy meal there that will probably meet whatever diet stipulations you may have. I really like their green goddess cobb salad, their mac n cheese (obviously), and a lot of their seasonal items. However, sometimes the prices seem a bit high for what you get, their rewards program is frustrating, and the service can be lacking. We ordered Panera to go yesterday. I asked for an apple and a lentil quinoa bowl with an egg. I got a rotten apple and a sparse lentil quinoa bowl with no egg. There wasn't much substance to it, it was tiny for the price, and the flavor wasn't that great either. It was very salty and had an acrid/sour flavor. Really an inedible meal. We called to let them know what happened with our order, and the best they could offer us was a free fountain drink next time. They also tend to be insanely busy during the lunch rush, so plan accordingly. The number of negative things I'm saying might make my 3-star rating seem too high, but honestly most of the food is pretty good, it will meet your health needs if you're vegetarian, vegan, keto, gluten free, organic, non-GMO, etc., and it's a decent fast-casual option. It just may not be the best fast-casual in the Arbor Lakes area. (Try Naf Naf if you haven't. It's not health food, but it'll make your pupils dilate and your mouth water.) read more

This location made my to go order 10 minutes before it was scheduled and then would not deliver car side even though that was an option on their menu. By the time I got my food home it had been made for over 45 minutes my sandwich was warm and my soup was cold. read more

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM THEM! I hate to do this but I used to order a lot from Panera online once Covid started and now...let's say out of every 10 orders I've placed, 8 of them are missing something, substituted without notification ( no care of allergy), and/or the item is completely missing yet I'm still paying for it. It's unfortunate that a few bad seeds ruin it for the restaurant. It even requires on all take out orders for someone to check the order, initial it, and date and time. I've never had that filled out. I've been promised refunds and never received them, I've been charged multiple times for the same order ( honestly it makes no sense, I'm a total food delivery gal). Good luck to the people that try and place an order with them through there app. I'm finally done. I should have been done months ago read more

I used to like Panera a lot, but after this trip; not so sure anymore. Every time we asked a question regarding the menu the lady just kind of acted a tad put off and pointed to the menu instead of a simple yes or no. For what we ordered I was shocked it came to a list $30. That's a lot for a quickie non sit down lunch. The chicken salad seems to have gone downhill. I used to like theirs a lot. The child size chicken soup tasted sour and the panini my husband had was just meh. Wasn't completely impressed this trip. May or my not return... read more

For what this is, a chain place that makes just about everything, this place is a OK. They do have the best bagels around. Love the cinnamon and sugar ones with the honey walnut cream cheese, yum. I stopped here for the lunch today along with about 400 other people and got the Chicken Caesar sandwich. Very good, pretty simple but pretty good and fast. I know this is precook chicken but the veggies were fresh and overall it was good. Great bread! One thing I do really like is that on the menu board they list the calories of the sandwiches both full and half. Great idea and I wish more of the fast food style places would do this. More places have it in their website and some have separate cards or menus if you ask but to have it right out in open is a great idea. Good for you corporate Panera people. KT read more

I ordered the tomato basil bread Mediterranean sandwich and it was delicious! I also ordered a Greek salad! Very fresh and ready to eat. I didn't need to add anything. This was my first time and it was a pleasure! read more

Rotten apple... filthy soup spoon! Forgot to take picture... but obviously rotten apple... asked for chicken noodle soup with a splash of chicken wild rice. I guess that was too difficult (after manager said ok!). They gave me rotten apple and dirty soup spoon as response? Chicken noodle soup (without the splash of wild rice soupl and Napa chicken are good... young man taking order was super friendly. read more

Panera Bread - Entry - Sandwiches Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Food was good, great actually, but the service is horrific. If you have somewhere to be 30 mins after you get there go somewhere else. The place wasn't even busyTook 10 mins to order a simple order and took what felt like a year to cook it. For being as staffed as they were they really need a new manager to teach them that they don't work at a restaurant and a wait time like that is unacceptable. read more

I'm new to the area but definitely not new to Panera. I can't say I've had any poor experiences with this location, but in the two weeks I've lived here, they've been out of bread bowls 3 times. Unfortunately that's a good part of why I go there read more

I tried to order at Maple Grove, MN. It would not allow me to select the time I wanted. I called and spoke to Brandon. He said they are not open for pick up at 9:00 AM. There is nothing on the web site. He suggested I try another location. I asked where and he said Brooklyn Park is open. I asked for the location and he didn't know. I found Brooklyn Park on you web site but they are closed on Friday. I decided to try Plymouth and made my order. I found if you want the order sliced you have to search around for this option. If it was my choice I would go to Brugger's since they have an easy web site and customer service skills. I tried to call the Panera customer service 855-372-6372. After 23 minutes on hold I hung up. Very poor way to run a business. read more

Maple Grove is the hub for food lunch and dinner. There is alot of options. I have always loved Panera. I got a Thai chicken salad and the French onion soup. The food came fairly quick and tasted great. It does get really busy here during lunch rush. I love that they hire older individuals looking for some extra income. Overall for alittle under 10 I'm full for lunch. read more

If eating in a filthy restaurant with rude employees is okay with you, then look no further! My husband and I received food on dirty plates that had a red waxy residue on it and food from a previous meal. I told the manager about and she looked at me quizzically and I asked if I would like our food remade. The stations where you deposit empty dishes and trash were completely full and stacked up high because there was nowhere else to put things. When we asked for napkins because they were out or a to go box, the staff was more interested in talking amongst themselves than wanting to help out. In short, this place is filthy, filled with rude employees, and now on the DO NOT REPEAT list. read more

I don't know why it's listed as a drive thru... impossible to find parking and slowest service possible.

This particular Panera is simply amazing. The staff (especially the manager Jo Jo and Sharon) are great representatives of Panera. The almond croissants are exquisite. The breads, the soups, and the sandwiches are delicious. Five stars everyone !!!!! read more

My first time here. Or at any Panera's bread. It's a cute place. Very busy. Self service coffee. Long line to get your food. I got my grilled sandwich. There was cheese. It was grilled. It was delicious and I was a happy girl. read more

Today was very busy and I'm not complaining about the service but the salad portion for the large was smaller than other Panera places. And the salad was just slight on everything for a large salad. My mom had a pick two and the soup was fine, but the portion size on the salad was too small and there was way too much dressing. She couldn't eat it. I believe you should always put the salad dressing on the side and let people put their own on. Very disappointing..... read more

I have been going to this Panera for at least a couple of years now. One of my favorite sandwiches was the Roasted Turkey Avocado BLT. It had chunks of juicy turkey and plenty of avocado.I got one today and was extremely disappointed to see the typical slices of turkey cut from what appears to be a a processed roll and a skimpy amount of Avocado. I usually get my lunch there 3 times a week when in town for 14 days and invariably eat breakfast there on weekends. I will now be examine my other choices. I hate to see the quality going down like this. I try to stay away from processed foods and now will rethink my choices since it appears Panera has resorted to processed turkey roll. boooo! went by the restaurant this AM and spoke with the manager. She assured me he ingredients did not change they have some new employees who have apparently not be given the correct instructions. They bought my breakfast as an apology. I will go back. read more

I ordered on their site and said it would be here at 6:45. No text communication. Only email. It was supposedly delivered at 7:10 but NOT TO MY HOUSE. I called and the manager put all the blame on door dash driver saying it happens "all the time". Didn't offer to get my food to me or even ask if I wanted to come pick it up! Just cancelled my order and gave the refund and said to reorder. He did the easy thing for himself! Terrible customer service. This isn't the first time having issues with this Panera either. But it will be the last. Glad your doing so well during covid you can afford to lose guests. read more

I am a huge fan of Panera Bread, but this one is mediocre at best. I'm sure they are a busy location, but they have never been that busy when I've been there, but there is always a lot of confusion. It's hard to find a clean table, because they don't tend to the dining area very well. We ended up cleaning off our own table, and this happened the last time I was here! On this visit, the food quality was only fair, hence the lower rating, I considered asking them to re-heat my soup, because it came out barely room temperature... but it wasn't worth the hassle! read more

This Panera Location is GREAT! I've always been a fan of this place but I have a new found appreciation for them after having an event catered by them. From the moment I picked up the phone to place my very large order (50 guests) to the actual delivery of the order they never missed the mark. The caterer, Jackie, was very nice and helpful and was very flexible when I had to call and change my order totals twice. My last modification was a day prior. On the day of my event they delivered my order exactly where I needed them too (the building was quite large and I asked for a specific door), and the order was all exactly what I had asked for and very neatly packaged. The delivery man was very nice and polite and even helped set up the sandwich boxes and soup. Needless to say my guests were all quite pleased. If I have other events in the area I will most definitely use this location again! read more

Very disappointing. Expected more but standards have been lowered. Wish they had spent the remodeling money on their menu. The souffle is about half crust which is not what I paid for. The buzzer never rang so I went to check on it and there was the rest of my order getting cold. The clerk said they deliver the food. Well obviously not mine and why was I given a buzzer? We'll not be back for breakfast and will not be in any hurry to ever come back. read more

Love the Chipotle Chicken breakfast wrap. Please keep it on your menu long term. But the on-line ordering process is kind of a mess. Plus you don't get credit for your order with the benefits program. I've also learned that your company donates much more to one political party than the other and as a result I'll no longer be buying your products until that changes. Too bad, I really like the food. read more

I waited over 23 minutes to get my soup and an apple delivered to my table. The worst service that I have ever had here. I'll never go back. I usually go to Café Zupas but thought I would try Panera instead. Café Zupas is much better food, better selection and faster service. read more
