This Panera Bread sits on Bullsboro just outside of Ashley Park and is the anchor of a small complex. Getting in and out can be a bit tricky, as the entrances are to the side/behind the building, no main entry/exit to Bullsboro. I have been to this Panera for a multitude of meals over the years, normally lunch and a treat for the nephews after a round of shopping nearby. Food is decent, seems to be a bit of "shrink-flation" going on with their sandwiches, but they are still tasty. My go-to is either the Fiesta Chicken or Frontega Chicken, always sided with tomato soup...its my favorite tomato soup out there! This location gets very busy, so service can be lacking and wait times can be a bit longer than expected for a fast casual place. Additionally, the wear and tear here is a bit more prevalent than other locations, and cleanliness is inconsistent at times. There always seems to be an overflow of plates and utensils at the return stations. Overall, this location is fairly standard from a food and experience perspective. It is convenient when already in Ashley Park, but I would not go out of my way to swing by. read more

We are sitting here at Panera's for over 30 minutes waiting for our food. Our order doesn't even show up on their screen yet because they are so backed up. They are so backed up because they are so short of help. The very least they should do is let people know how long the wait is gonna be. I don't think we'll be returning to this location again. Extremely disappointed. read more

I love Panera and I don't get to have it very often because we don't have this establishment at home (hawaii). Had the caprese sandwich and French onion soup. The brownie was amazing as well. read more

It took almost 40 minutes to get our food. My lemonade was sadly melted when they gave it to me . Also they said the food in the picture was "toasted". read more

Panera Bread - Untoasted food - Sandwiches Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

We visited Panera Bread on New Year's Eve. We were excited to learn that they didn't close as early as some of the other places in the area. Between the 3 of us, we ordered 2 bowls of turkey chili with a side of bread, and a pick 2 with broccoli & cheese soup and Caesar salad with chicken. Everyone also got the green tea, our favorite drink at PB. The staff was awesome. We wanted to sit in the corner and one of them immediately wiped down the area for us. Our food was ready in about 5 minutes. Hot and delicious! At the end, we got two cinnamon rolls and warmed them in their microwave. It had this amazing lemon flavor that we had never experienced in their rolls. The person or team that thought of this is genius! The flow of customer traffic was steady. The ambiance is pretty laid back. PB is great for everyone, especially if you would like to read a book or work on your laptop. Enjoy! read more

This chain restaurant falls way down the chain... the young man who took our order couldn't seem To explain the "pick two" menu choices. That led me to my decision not to eat so I in fact watched my granddaughter eat all by herself. She ordered the French onion soup and Mac and cheese-"pick two." What used to be a $7.99 meal which included the two menu items that came with a drink and a choice between an Apple or a baguette turned into a $15+ charge. The drink was 8 oz. And the two menu items are 4 oz each! The soup was mostly soggy croutons and the Mac and cheese was acceptable. When we left I asked (who appeared to be in charge) why they changed the pick two and he said they did that like last year. Tells you how long it's been since I was there last. I told him that's why I didn't order anything. As it was I paid a stupid amount for a very small portion of mediocre food. How are they still in business? Oh and the clerk who took my order couldn't even recognize a quarter from a nickel and gave me my change wrong-TWICE! Don't go here to eat you won't like it. read more

Not very much to crow about. It's just neeeaaahh. In consistent. Good cinnamon buns. Baguette is a pretty good tasteful American Belly filler, But not much more read more

We came for lunch on a Saturday and ordered two whole sandwiches and two cups of soup to go. Got our order home and they had shorted us one sandwich. I called and talk to the manager and she was very apologetic and said she would replace the entire order. We went back the next day and they were so sorry and sweet in replacing the order. They even told us to pick some goodies from the bakery and upsized our soups to bowls! I know mistakes happened, but it's the way your right the mistake that matters! They did a great job to make sure this customer was satisfied! read more

I have been going to the Newnan Panera for about eight months now, and I wanted to wait and see how the COVID adjustment went before leaving a review. I started by trying out their free, three month coffee subscription, and if you are located close enough to a reliable Panera, I'd say even paying the full price for the subscription is totally worth it. However, most of the time I do curbside pickup, and this Panera seems to be crazy unpredictable. I have often been brought the wrong order or end up having to go inside to try (with varying success) to retrieve my order anyways. The staff is generally very nice though, and one day someone did give me free cookies to make up for for the wait, but like I said, very hit or miss if you don't feel comfortable going inside. read more

I joined the coffee club a month ago. The coffee is old and warm most of the time, only once was it hot and fresh. So far not impressed. Twice I had to witness a slightly more senior employee berating a new employee unnecessarily. I've also seen this from the manager towards an employee. Maybe it's Covid stress, I hope it gets better. read more

People were walking in and leaving at lunch because the line was so long. There was one person taking orders and one person making food. Every time we attempt to come here, it feels like there is no management. read more

I've been coming at this location since first opening here in Newnan. The food is always good! Once ordered, the food arrives quickly and accurately and the staff has always been accommodating and friendly! It has been recently remodeled and it has always been very clean. The restrooms are always clean and well supplied. Yes, there are too many times they seem to be short staffed and the wait at the register seems to take a bit too long! I've always been a believer that if you have an issue, don't just complain, tell the whole story. The folks here do too many things right to point out one thing wrong and not try to put this all in prospective! I hope to be served here for many years to come! Please consider determining what needs to be done regarding staffing. Seems there are plenty personnel, but the register doesn't seem to be a high priority! Best wishes for a continued long and prosperous business outlook! read more

STAY AWAY! Seriously the worst location. Consistently have issues with this location - including waiting nearly 2 hours for a BOWL OF SOUP. Disgusting store. Always have sticky floors through the dining room and by the food counters. Last time, they forgot my bread bowl. Call up there, they offer to replace with pastries for the inconvenience. So I send my husband up there, he returns with a piece of stale bread. That's it. No soup, no pastries, just bread. Such a waste of money to go here. read more

I'll keep it short. Unorganized dysfunction. Short staffed. Bakery items still cold from being in the cooler. Out of coffee. Customers having to use a microwave to warm their bakery items up.. Not a place to stop when you're looking for a quick breakfast. read more

I just had a very unfortunate experience at this location. I walked in and one of the girls at the front counter asked to take my order and I told her I needed to look a moment because I was overwhelmed with the choices on the menu. I haven't eaten here in about 2 to 3 years. Then they proceeded to ignore me. I waited a good 5 to 10 minutes and they didn't even look in my direction as I stood right at the front of the line. They told one person to come around me, and then after they took his order, three of them huddled up together and just talked to each other and continued to ignore me. This is not acceptable, and I can't imagine under any circumstance in which it would be. Perhaps if they thought I was taking too long to make up my mind, they could have offered some suggestions - was I looking for a salad? Was I looking for a sandwich? Was I perhaps waiting for someone to take my goddamned order? Never mind. I'm at Olive Garden now, and I've already got my soup in front of me. UPDATE - on July 15, I went back to this location. When I order, I told the cashier about what had happened. She told me that there had been a long running problem with customer service at location, and she asked that I talk to the new general manager who was in the store today. I did, and he was very attentive, understanding, and professional. read more

Slow as Christmas service. Smells foul and toilets don't work! How about calling a plumber and lighting a few candles! read more

Panera Bread - Pond and Water moving slowwwww - Sandwiches Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

During a full day of real estate checking, we took a break after 1 p.m. for a late lunch. Having eaten the day before at a Panera Bread location, we were familiar with the menu. This location, perhaps because it is in the Ashley Park shopping area near I-85, was insanely crowded. I thought the lunch rush would be over by 1 p.m., but I was wrong. There was still a line at the counter when we left! We got one of the last empty tables when we arrived, though given the quick turnover for dining, you probably won't have to wait long for a table. My wife got her same soup/salad combo from the day before, as she liked it a lot. Mine had been good, but I tried a soup and half-panini (steak and white cheddar) instead. It was good, though the sandwich was quite small. Though the vibe here was quite different than the day before at the other location, I still thought it was a good meal & a good value. read more

Very disappointed in Panera. It used to be my go to place anytime I was in Newnan. The last three times I went there, they were closed during normal hours. read more

Used to be a to go spot. It's absurd lousy today. Opens now at 10:30 they didn't even have hot coffee! Get a grip guys

I love Panera as a whole, however this particular one on Bullsboro in Newnan needs a lot of help, especially the rapid pick up. Every single time I order rapid pick up it has something missing or the food is not good. Last night I ordered the 4 cheese grilled cheese and I checked to see if I had everything in the bag. We did, but then we went home and found that the grilled cheese wasn't even grilled. The bread was still soft, white, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I ate half and couldn't finish the rest. This Panera has good bakery items, but the other food needs a lot of work. read more

Do not order a breakfast sandwich unless you have a bib, about 20 napkins and fork and a knife. They totally just slapped and overloaded the ingredients on this sandwich. I cant eat this. I just pulled over and threw it out. Horrible. I'm mean really? Who the hell makes a breakfast sandwich like that? Someone who doesn't take enough time to care. Panera you owe me for 1 bad experience and 1 breakfast sandwich. Next time I'll go to Einstein bagel or Chick-fil-A. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

We were driving through Georgia on our road trip and we wanted some Panera. Because of the COVID19 they had an outside drive through and rapid pick up lane. We got in line to order but decided to get their app and order online. It took a while, we were there for 20 minutes at least however, the girls were very apologetic and got us our food as fast as they could. They were out of vanilla cinnamon bun so they got me a chocolate croissant and bunch of other delicious pastries instead. I also got half of the Mediterranean sandwich and my husband got Southwestern Chili Lime salad. It was DELICIOUS! We devoured the whole thing! The salad bowl was stuffed to the top, my sandwich was amazing. I wish I had gotten a whole one. Yes it took a little while, but they were busy and the workers were doing their best. It was an awesome experience! Next time we drive through there again, we will definitely stop by again! read more

Slow service! Soooo slow. Also, I once got a sandwich and asked for it without onions. When I checked, it had it. I asked them to remake it. They did, and the second time STILL had onions. So I don't know if they didn't remake it or if they just don't follow directions. read more

I ordered 2 bowls of soup. And, I paid for 2 bowls. By the way a bowl is 8 oz and a cup is 4 oz. I ordered one in sourdough bread. Needless to say they got it incorrect. I got every back to the room a noticed it didn't fill a cup half full. So they stiffed me on the bowl and got the order wrong. I would say this could be a mode of operation for this establishment. To me it is deceptive to call an 8 oz cup a bowl. Needless to say the soup had no taste. I was very disappointed. Believe the reviews! read more

Panera Bread - Grilled Cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

Worst Panera Bread I've ever been to. Every time I go here, I say it will be the last but my kids love the mac n cheese. The bathrooms are always clogged and disgusting. The dining area and drink station are always a mess. Today we waited for our food for 20 minutes while 20 people were standing in the window not getting any food. I got a full refund and went somewhere else. The cashier was very nice but she said the manager makes her continue taking orders even when they are that backed up. It needs new management immediately! read more

The only I gave a one from my experience was because Nea was fantastic. I went thru the drive curbside pick up Mother's Day (last night). No one in line, a couple sitting outside having their meal. Gave my order, they took payment and next thing you know the manager comes out and starts yelling at the employee. They both went inside , then the manager comes out and asked what I ordered. I had ordered so much I couldn't remember and next thing does is ask for my card that I used. To my surprise she cancelled my order without telling me and then walks inside. When my daughter and I arrived at the drive up to order it was 20 minutes until closing. If I could have given a zero I would. Except Nea was very apologetic and was embarrassed by the managers behavior. Sorry my post is late I didn't realize it didn't post earlier. This happen on Mother's Day! read more

I usually love Panera. I walked into this one about 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. When young man was trying his best to fill online orders and wait on the counter. I had to wait quite a while to place my order. This restaurant was filthy. My feet stuck to the floor every step I took. The booths and tables were not clean. In one booth there was a dried up pickle spear along the back. I can only assume that it had been there at least overnight since it was first thing in the morning. I won't be visiting the store again unless it cleans up its act. read more

This place is so disorganized and messy. The food, when you eventually get it is pretty good but I never feel like it's a good value in regard to price. With the prices they charge the service should be much higher. If you charge a premium, deliver a premium. read more

PANERA can't handle online orders. Always an issue. Ordered well in advance. Get there no rapid order. Waited 8 minutes. They have no croissants. Ask for refund. Now they offer to make it on another bread. You have my number. Why didn't you call? I have no more time to waste. Refund my money. read more

It was okay, but dirty little restaurant. Went for pecan rolls and a whole French Baguette. Receipt attached. The young lady who took our order advised that she doesn't eat bread or nuts so she was less then helpful when we asked questions. How do you work at Panera BREAD and don't eat the food?!? This is a disorganized restaurant that needs some employee training. We were glad we got out order to go!! read more

Once again, always a bad experience at Panera. If there were better bagel options I would go elsewhere. Ordered online to save time. Got thee didn't have half of the ones I wanted and no one called me. They were r sliced or toasted so I had to wait the until they were. Ughh. read more

Atrocious and no wheels near Panera standards. Hey corporate if you're reading these comments (there are several with same theme) check in on this operation. Staff is confused, unmotivated and basically selling lousy tasting imitations of Panera's STAPLES. Eat somewhere else are my words !!! read more
