Lizzy is the most amazing employee EVER. Helpful, efficient, and full of smiles. Experience otherwise was average.

Food is so fresh! The service is so friendly, helpful, and smiles! It's nice and quiet with subtle music playing! read more

Prices have gone up. Portions size has gone down. Nothing tastes fresh. Everything is fair...at best. Seating area is dirty. It's not what it once was. I'm giving up on Panera. read more

Terrible service... painfully slow. I ordered rhe Croque Monsieur - don't waste your money! First of all, we ordered 2 of them and on both rhey forgot to put the caramelized onions. We waited so long for our food, and we were in a hurry otherwise I would have had them correct it. Sandwich is not worth the money at all. Very overpriced! read more

Panera Bread - Croque Monsieur - Sandwiches Near Me - Monaca, Pennsylvania

I tried it a few times now and thought it was a fluke I was getting so little when paying for extra. The manager informed me that it is indeed extra. I guess the website picture must be if you pay $10 rather than $4? Sip club canceled. I don't have time for 2 stops each morning. read more

I wanted to give a positive review for the Monaca Panera. The last year or two it seems like every take out order is wrong, there are no times to place your order available, or the store is just closed at random times on random days. But I will say lately they have stepped it up! I do always customize my order...allergic to cheese, hate lettuce, and love all sauces except mayo...so my order does get mixed up a lot but last week it was perfect! I ordered onion soup with no cheese and extra croutons and 1/2 a chicken chipotle with no cheese or cilantro and sauce on the side...hard I know! They did an excellent job on time, temperature, and getting my order correct! read more

Panera Bread - Hard order and got it all right! - Sandwiches Near Me - Monaca, Pennsylvania

Workers were friendly and good conversation, Nothing but helpful when I had questions about the menu. Food came out perfect, I ordered the chicken bacon rancher and the chocolate chipper cookie!! Perfectly soft and tastes amazing. The tall, good looking kid, with nice brown curls wore a smile the whole time. The vibe of the store does seem more dedicated to the older visitors but they need a place to group up at. read more

Panera Bread is one of my go-to places for lunch, so I've been to quite a few locations by now. I usually order via the app and customize my sandwiches and salads. I did curbside pickup with my most recent order and unfortunately didn't notice that my order wasn't perfect until I got home. Some of the ingredients I took out were still there and some of the ingredients I added were left out. A disappointing experience. Hopefully next time is better. read more

I agree with other yelpers, three stars is accurate. Ordered deliver from here though door dash because on the Panera app delivery was $5! Geez Anyway I ordered a breakfast bacon egg and cheese on brioche ($5.29), large hazelnut coffee for $2.59, kids Caesar salad $5.39, and kids grilled cheese with mixed berry yogurt as a side $4.69. My sandwich with bacon egg and cheese on brioche was good. I enjoyed it. Bacon and egg was cooked well and cheese melted. Brioche was light as it should be. The hazelnut coffee arrived hot and tasted great. Not too acidic and great natural hazelnut flavor. I'd order both of these items again. The kids Caesar salad was very small, mostly croutons! Soo not worth $5.39. Some lettuce was wilted and I threw them out. My daughter wouldn't eat it so I did. Barely any lettuce. Definitely not worth the cost. I would never order this again. The mixed berry yogurt came in a squeeze tube. I was a little disappointed in that. I'd prefer the cups of yogurt. My daughter accidentally got it on her dress (she's three). I'm happy it was stonyfield organics. She also wasn't a fan of the grilled cheese. It was mostly bread. She took a few bites and will hopefully eat the rest tomorrow? I wouldn't get it again either for her. Door dash was great with delivery of these items. I do like Panera for their sandwiches and soups. I'd just stick with those next time. read more

This place has turned into every other place around anymore. Charge you twice as much S before for half the food and 1/8 the service. When we addressed the issues at hand with the manager... she laughed with the teen co workers. Great customer service read more

$12 for small soup and half a sandwich doesn't seem like a good value to me. Food was tasty, but I think there are better options around... read more

Don't use the touchscreen order if you plan to eat in; they serve every customer standing in line first and your order will be cold by the time you get it. read more

Very frustrated with incorrect orders. I ordered via rapid order through the app indicating my sides were apples and my (2) sandwiches were not to have red onions (I have allergies). What I received was one apple (not 2) and red onions on both orders. This is the third time the Monaca location did not provide the correct order and it was too late last night to return. I tried to reach the manager today but no one answered the phone as if yet. read more

Interior is nice. Food is good, but a little too salty. Overpriced for what it is, unfortunately.

So I order from here a decent bit and one thing I noticed is that if you order from the app it literally is never right. They always forget something and they never update their app so I've unknowingly ordered something out of stock and instead of them telling me when I get there, they just don't give it to me and when I come back to ask for it they're like "we're out". Normally this occurs with the cookies, but today they actually got my order right!! Only one thing...I ordered a salad and they gave me NO FORK!! I am now stranded with a salad that I cannot consume. read more

Delicious! If you haven't had lunch here... do it now. The Asian sesame chicken salad is the best with a blood orange lemonade. Yum! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Monaca, Pennsylvania

I generally like most Panera Bread locations, however this particular location is experiencing some stress. Their portions sizes are different that other Panera locations. Their bagels and other bakery items are significantly smaller. The building tends to be very cold, even with their fireplace running. We noticed that their was snow on the INSIDE of the building this April 2022. I do not recommend visiting this Monaca PA location. read more

I placed my order and they gave me the vibrating beeper --- and I only spent about 45 seconds looking for a table when the beeper went off !! My tuna sandwich was already waiting for me to get picked up --- this is probably a world record or something. WiFi seemed really fast --- like around 40 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. Plenty of speed to get all your work done. Only downside is that the music playing on the overhead speakers was a tad bit loud. Wouldnt hurt if they turned it down just a little. Not a major complaint --- just an idea. read more

I continue to be disappointed by Panera! The soup portions are so small for the price! The salads are smothered in too much dressing. The alternative to a hunk of bread is an apple? I don't want to sit there and eat an apple when I'm out to lunch with friends. Overpriced small portions. That's Panera for me. read more

Not a good experience today. Sat at a table that wasn't wiped completely. Ordered rapid pickup and it was a few minutes late. Wasn't placed in the pickup area as it should of been. Employee finally saw me standing near the pickup area and asked me if i here for pickup, and then got my completed order bag from under the counter ..??? Then handed me a glass for my tea and it was sticky. I asked for another one and it too was sticky. Went to the restroom to clean my sticky cup... Went back to the table to join my fiancée to eat and she was back over at the counter. When she came back to the table I asked her what she went to get and she said there's no chicken on my sandwich..!!!??????? What the hell Panera? For 26.00 I expect a bit better than this.

Love their Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad and soups. Nice variety of drinks Good healthy food read more

Wow, if I could give this place a zero I would. How hard is it to screw up a Panera's? Well, this crew has done it. 6 pm, not that busy, but they are out of much of their breads, and the service is incredibly slow. I've been waiting for 15 minutes The whole time someone's salad and soup just sat there getting colder and colder. Meanwhile one of the food makers kept calling for Joe. My guess is Joe died waiting for his food. Don't go here! read more

This place has gone straight down hill. I order each time in hopes that this time you'll have my order ready and get it right but as expected it never is! I'm not sure if it's management or staff or lack there of! Quality has gone to waste side! Rapid pick up orders are anything but rapid! And you have literally gotten my order wrong in some fashion almost every time! I really enjoy Panera and your location has given Panera a bad taste in my mouth!! read more

Remember my Christmastime gift card fiasco? Well it turns out I had one I had forgotten to unload; a $5 Panera bread card. AIEEEEE!!!! Just when I thought they were all gone... Kay and I were both on a brief holiday from work due to the evening's musical festivities and were both rumbling in the stomach at the crack 'o noon, so here we came. Man, what a convoluted ordering system they have. You order up and then get a pager. When it lights up you go to a counter to pick up a tray of food that may or may not be yours. I mean, their sandwiches all look identical, and the Cheese Broccoli soup is almost a dead-ringer for the Baked Potato soup. Cheese Broccoli Soup. Ack! That's what Kay ordered, and no I did not sample it. The possibly canned Baked Potato soup was bereft of all flavor. The Cuban Panini (panino?) had ham, and I think mustard and pickle. I don't know. That bread was like an armadillo's hide, making the scant interiors of the sandwich (one, ONE slice of ham?!?) difficult to savor. The dessert case had more bimbos in it than an episode of Deal Or No Deal; all looks, little flavor. What was in our briefcase, you ask? I couldn't decide, so I walked back to our table with a trio of pastries for us to split; a chocolate-chocolate chip cookie, a brownie brick, and a cherry danish. The cookie was so very Archway and would be the one to make a career at Hooters. The brownie was somewhat better but that lacquered-on strip of frosting indicated that she had a bit of Little Debbie in her. I'm thinking... Stepford Wife? The danish was surprisingly the highlight. The cherries tart, the pastry flaky (but she's only pretending to be flaky, like Jennifer Tilly), the thick custard giving it depth. This one's the schemer, the future attorney, the one laughing privately in disdain at the others. No more Panera, I...swear-a. read more

I could not believe my eyes today. I was sitting in view of the beverages. I observed a tall 20 something worker in an orange polo with purple stripes on his tennis shoes attempt to fix the broken lemonade container. He drained it into another container instead of picking it up and bringing it out back to transfer. When it was empty he stuck his bare hand in the container to inspect the spout. He pulled it out, looked at it, reinstalled it and dumped the lemon aide back in. There's no way this Panera teaches employees about good service safety and cleanliness. Once before I saw a female worker using spray cleaner by the uncovered cookies. Then touched cookies to serve them with out washing her hands. The floor is covered in crumbs, dirt, salt from winter. Under the booths is embarrassing and deplorable. Every night this carpet should be vacuumed with a real vacuum and not a cordless or non electric. This unseen, never present manager should be fired. read more

I'll admit it..I'm a panera addict, the Sierra turkey sandwich is my favorite but seriously I don't think there's anything on their menu that I've tried that I haven't liked, and trust me there's a lot that ive tried, we have drug reps at work that bring us their food on almost a weekly basis and it's all amazing. This particular location isn't bad but if you go at lunch time you can basically guarantee that you won't get a parking space which is beyond annoying when you don't have a lot of time to waste but the fact that you can order rapid pickup ahead of time and just run in and grab your food kind of makes up for the fact that you have to park in a completely different shopping plaza and walk. Ask me again how I feel about this once it's snowing though lol. The staff is super friendly and even though the lines get crazy sometimes they always try to hurry an you still get great service. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the parking situation is ridiculous, my pregnant butt really does not like having to walk to an entirely different plaza every time I want lunch. read more

I love their Fuji salad, basically everything on the menu is good. Eating in I found them to be a little overwhelmed and forgetting things and when I had to ask for extra dressing it came with extra attitude but that's to be expected with teenagers. Regardless it's still good service and a good meal! read more

They seem to specialise in a lot of sour dough. I hate sour dough. But if you find something that isn't sourdough... it's pretty good. My mom loves to come here for a giant cookie now and again... and I sneak a bagel. Which are pretty good. They also have a bit of other foods which I've never tasted. Being a bread fanatic... I'll always take bread over food. read more

A routine stop for morning coffee. I do not linger there and I am not a fan of the foods that are lesser versions of what one can find elsewhere. Service is fine; store well kept; very convenient. Excellent place for a quick business meeting over coffee. Often too too loud however; odd layout and only a few spaces are helpful for private meetings. But it is a Panera's -- and meets all the expected standards. f8 and be there. read more

the ice tea at the Monaca Panera store frequently does not taste good. every time I get ice tea at the Cranberry store there is a noticeable difference. it is wonderful. The Cranberry store also has lemon available. I am a Sipper club member and live closer to the Monaca location . Please correct this ongoing problem. Lemon would b nice, too! read more

This review is late but I need to finally put this out here. I ate here the end of May2019. I rarely eat out and Panera was a go to as I always considered it safe. After reading the reviews here, I'm wondering what was I thinking!! My friend and I ate salads and we both immediately became ill. Me more than her. After many trips to the bathroom and hours of extreme pain, my husband took me to the ER. I was admitted after being diagnosed with a bowel blockage. I was in the hospital for 3 days and could not eat solid food. The lab cultures came back a couple of weeks later (these types take a while). I had contracted a food borne illness. The bacteria is called aeronomas sobria. My doc and the nurses in his office were not at all surprised that I ate at Panera that day. Panera refuses to take responsibility. They claim that they did a thorough investigation of the facility. What a joke!! I was sick for almost a month, had to take massive amounts of steroids to reduce the inflammation and a very powerful antibiotic. I am on a campaign to inform others to never eat at this location. I would give zero stars if possible with a stern warning to STAY AWAY!! read more

Food is Panera, so a known quantity, but just had a 20 minute wait time for two sandwiches and two kids orders of Mac and cheese. Panera should be ashamed, we won't be back to this location. read more

Love Panera! The food is very fresh and the sandwiches and soup is the best! Great service too

Cozy spot to grab some food. The atmosphere is nice and laid back. The fireplace in there is a great addition to the building. Seems like a good spot for people to study. I noticed several students enjoying their sandwiches while reading or working on projects. It was nice to share a meal with my friend and actually hear what she was saying. Even with a good amount of people it's usually relatively quiet in there. Mediterranean veggie will always be my favorite. I recommend it. The cinnamon crunch bagel is amazing as well. read more

This location is under new management. I definitely recommend giving it another try if you haven't in awhile. :)

One cashier during lunch rush with a line to the door on a Friday. This place is understaffed with overwhelmed staff. Entire place seems more concerned with delivery orders than people actually eating here. Oh and no papertowls in the men's room (just a sign on the wall to watch the wet floor) read more

I placed an order online today and requested the rapid pick-up option. My wife went to pick up the order , sitting in the vehicle for an extra 15 minutes. She ended up going inside looking for our order, which was not in the pickup area. My wife saw our order on the counter behind the register and when she asked the cashier if that was our order , was met with a snotty attitude reply. I would think that with the pandemic you would at least make a better attempt to service the customers. We will not be going to this location again. read more
