Recently started visiting this Panera because it is close to my job. I usually stop in for a soda before work and at lunch. It is always clean and well stocked and employees are friendly. The parking lot is very small, though, and sometimes is full. Today I ordered a salad for lunch and cinnamon roll to go. I ordered on the app and it was ready and correct when I arrived. I ordered the chicken balsamic salad with greens and grains. They were out of avocado but the app did alert me of that when I ordered. The salad was really good -- lots of flavor. Overall a nice lunch.

Though I have lived in Cary for over 20 years I seldom visit Panera for the reasons I encountered today. Basically they run out of stuff & don't tell you until after you've ordered & paid. Not a great customer experience at all & the food is meh. I ordered a soup, coffee & muffin for a total of $15.32! I used the kiosk for this order. Once completed my payment I grabbed a cup & poured what was warm coffee at best. I waited & my soup was ready rapidly. I was then informed that my pumpkin muffin was not available & I was asked if I wanted another treat. I commented no as that was for my daughter. The guy at the food counter said he would refund the $$ & within 24 hours it did go through. The time of my visit 3:29 pm. I'll avoid this Panera in the future as my experience today was very similar to past experiences. I'm not keen to pay top dollar for luke warm coffee & no muffin. I spoke with the team manager who said that it's normal for them to be out of stuff after the morning. He said I should see a refund within 24 hours. The girl at the front counter was on her phone & as I told her about my situation she was literally speechless. Maybe next time I should visit in the morning?

The few ingredients for my sandwich.

This is the new recipe for the toasted garden caprese. They need to work on something more than their recipes!?! Quality would be nice. I can't believe any employee would think this was sellable.

Gross and acted like it was no biggie. The salad which I unfortunately started to eat had a Ton of dressing and then this- so I was fine to cut my meal short

Chicken noodle soup bowl

I gave it a 3 because of being quick. Now I think Panera needs to ramp up their food. We paid 20$ my husband got a tea I got a water I ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup with a apple. Hubs ordered chicken avocado melt with chips. That's not much and if you see the sandwich they really put a thick slice of avocado but not enough chicken. Sadly we never come to Panera anymore or rarely because they just have not been up to par. This just showed us yet again why we rarely come here. Staff was friendly and nice. And fast and efficient.

Apple, chicken strawberry poppy seed salad along with berries and vibrant citrus fruits as well as a Mediterranean sandwich

WHAT THE HECK?! They are so nice here!! They actually anticipated my order at the drive through and were smiling at me when handing me my order at the window! I haven't experienced that at many other places so that says a lot how they select their staff. Small gestures go a long way to make someone's day. LOVE this Panera since they are SO ccommodating to folks with multiple food allergies! I am deathly allergic to nuts so eating out is hard. Also allergic to milk and avocado so options are limited. However they take the time to make choices that are are SAFE for me. Other Panera locations literally just said "just look online" and put little effort into helping. The staff seem to magically remember my order every morning really makes me feel valued and happy to support this business! Love their menu and how I can eat healthy foods even on a limited diet. Big fan of their Mediterranean sandwich without cheese and strawberry poppyseed salad without nuts! So beautiful too!

We finally got a chance to stop by Panera Bread to see what all the hype was about over their new Flatbread Marketing promotion that's on tv these days. Im also participating in their three month free coffee promotion which is an awesome deal by the way, so we went for it. The Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Flatbread did not disappoint. We ordered it through the drive through and it was ready in about 3-5 minutes after we got to the window. Id love to see how they are executing their flatbreads in the kitchen one of these days. Im going to have to go make friends with one of the managers LOL. It was a great flatbread, full of flavor, slightly crispy and quite enjoyable. Id recommend giving them a try. #eatingwithchefseanandre Its Gon Be Dope! #wefindthefood

Trash under every table
Kenneth D.

Wow where to start! Terrible stench as we entered. Must be from the carpet. This place is filthy. Lots of trash under every table and doesn't look like they ever sweep. These pucks were during slow time when they could be cleaning but looks like they would prefer to just goof off in back. Will not be back. Permanently off our list.

Baja Mac & Cheese Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Chai Tea Latte
Jaime S.

I love Panera Bread! It's the perfect place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I visited this location in the Park West shopping center on a Tuesday afternoon. I chose this location because I had an event later in the evening in the Cary area and I had a few hours of work to get done before hand, and Panera is a great place to get work done too. I tried the Baja Mac & Cheese for the first time as part of my pick two and loved it. They add the perfect amount of pico and avocado to pair with the Mac & Cheese. I also almost always get the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, which is always delicious. Another great visit at Panera Bread!!

Yummy veggie soup !
Tammy M.

I have to admit that their new service of order online and pickup (on a special shelf in back of the store) has become one of my favorites. You specify what time you want your order to be done. I have used this several times and have never been disappointed. Their vegetable soup has become one of my favorites. It has so many vegies in it. Maybe even barley ? Quinoa ? I can't figure it all out by the stuff is delicious. Last time I got the "Pick 2" and had the soup and a half of the Frontega Chicken (I think) it's a panini. The sandwich was very good. Just a tid bit on the greasy side (from the grill). I will come again and I will use the "Rapid Pickup" again. Good job Panera.

I eat a more Vegan menu so this place did really well! I can't wait to bring my wife here but we…read moreare from out of town so it will be a while. I had the root veggie bowl and added lentils for protein. I asked for dressing on the side because I want to dress my own food. Before I dressed it I took a bite, wow! It could be eaten with no dressing! It was absolutely delicious. I asked if they have a vegan sauce and they did not know. CAVA has several vegan dressings available that are marked on the bottle. Might be something to consider. But, wow. I can't wait to come back! My drink was the Mango Apple Kale. It was very good and not too sweet. It's 7:10 on a Wednesday night. The place is not real busy but should be. The first experience was worth reviewing, they did great. I eat at chipotle a lot and their tables are always dirty and garbages overflowing but this place, no. The Farmside Kitchen tables are all clean in the lobby. garbages clean, floor...clean. They are going to do great. I look for forward to returning or finding one in my area.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed it…read more Parking was simple, as there's a big parking lot for all of the nearby businesses. I got my order to-go and it was prepared on time. My wife and I both ate the Caesar salad and it was pretty darn tasty! The chicken was flavorful and the dressing hit the mark. I will say that the side of bread was pretty bland, but it's free so I can't complain too much :) Inside, it looked clean and cheerful. Overall, I would definitely come back to this location to grab a healthy meal.

Will & Well is a great addition to Boxyard if you're looking for a fresh salad, grain bowl, or…read moresmoothie option. The setup is counter service, with a handful of premade salads and bowls on the menu, or you can build your own. The build-your-own option starts at $12.99 and includes your base, five toppings, one crunchy/dry topping, and dressing. Proteins are extra and range from about $4.25-$6.50, with options including tofu, shrimp, chicken, steak, and tuna. I opted for a build-your-own bowl with chicken, which came out to just under $20 before tip. At first, that felt a little pricey to me, but the portion size was absolutely massive. Honestly, it was large enough to easily make two meals, which made the value feel much better. The woman helping me was incredibly friendly and even let me sample three different dressings before deciding. I also appreciated that you can get your dressing on the side if you prefer. All 3 I tried were good, but all very different, and I'm glad I had a chance to try them! One thing to note is that it was fairly warm inside the business, which gave me a little pause considering it's a salad-focused concept. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality. There were only two employees working during my visit on a Wednesday around 6:30, and with about 4-5 people ahead of me, it took around 20 minutes to place my order, get my bowl made, and check out. The staff was working hard, and being incredibly helpful, but if you're in a hurry, just plan accordingly. Overall, I'd definitely return. It's nice to have a quality salad option at Boxyard, the ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was helpful and kind. Just be prepared that there may be a bit of a wait and to spend around $20 if you're adding protein (but you can easily share or make two meals from it!!!) My picture doesn't do the size justice I promise!

I had been meaning to stop in to visit Will and Well for months and was not disappointed when I…read moredid! I'd seen that celebrity Tabitha Brown stopped by recently and loved the salads, which made me want to visit even more. I stopped through on a weekday afternoon. I ordered the signature salad, Salsa Verde with quinoa (you can add your choice of grain) and a freshly made hibiscus juice (so refreshing!). Everything was so fresh and so delicious. The salad was coated with just the amount of dressing and the sweet potatoes on the salad were a special treat, making the salad both unique and delicious! The hibiscus juice was refreshing and not syrupy sweet like many juices from other establishments. I will definitely be back to try other salads!

Great salad value! Yes the initial price seems high till you realize they take the time to dice up…read morethe lettuce of your choice so your salad bowl density is far more than your typical "undiced" salad. My crunch bowl was packed densely with kale salad and just the right amount of dressing -- too many places drench their salad with excessive dressing. I'll be back for this hearty salad place whenever we return to Cary from Los Angeles and I want to feel full from salad.

I love Diced! If you're looking for clean ingredients and fresh, flavorful salads, this is…read moredefinitely the spot. I always order the Southwest Crunch Bowl. I tell myself every time that I'm going to try something new--but I just can't help it, it's that good. I get it with the house-made chipotle ranch (which is amazing) and usually add chicken. The dressing really brings everything together, and I recommend getting it on the side if you don't plan to finish the salad right away--it helps keep everything fresh. The only downside is the price--adding protein can make the bowl a bit expensive--but honestly, I'm willing to pay more for high-quality, fresh ingredients. The staff is always quick, efficient, and helpful, which makes the experience even better. They also offer gluten-free desserts from JP's Pastry, which is a great bonus! Highly recommend if you want a fresh, clean meal that actually tastes amazing.

You walk in and have a little self-type market area and immediately to the right there are refrigerators with prepared meals to buy and take home. Straight after the Shelf section there is the butcher shop with all cuts of meats. I liked the concept where you could even pick your meats and have the chef cook them there for you and you can dine in! They also had an area for dining in and sitting at a bar. The bar had many choices of drinks and a wine section in the back to the side. There was a patio area as well. I decided to have some lunch so I got the salmon BLT which was delicious and I got the side of hot honey brussel sprouts. I ordered some lasagna to take home for a meal later. The salmon was cooked perfectly at a medium temperature and the flavoring was great. The brussel sprouts had just enough kick to them and was a great portion size for two or more. The lasagna was good and also a good size but it is a little bit spicy so if you dont like spice be prepared for a little tiny bit. All was delish.The pricing for everything is on point and not too expensive. They also have specials most of the days of the week! Peyton helped me with my to go orders and I met Ralph the owner who told me about the concept of everything. I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend! Second time back was wonderful! Sat and dined in. I got the $1 wings special with barbecue, mac and cheese, and salmon salad. The wings were jumbo size which is great because unlike other places they weren't the size of your pinky. The mac and cheese was very flavorful with the small crisp. The salmon salad was neat because it came and deconstructed segments so you could really pick which toppings you wanted on each bite. The dressing on it was amazing and so was the ranch for the wings. I was attended to by Desiah and Liam who were other so personable and lovely! All of the portions are amazing and I love it because I have food for a few days. Definitely going to come back again to try some of the new items that they've added to their menu.
