Love this location and love doing any catering business with this specific location! Joe (Catering Lead) and everyone else in the establishment goes above and beyond with any orders placed and ensures each item is correct. Aside from catering, my family and I regularly order eat here for a quick bite and can't complain with the food or service. read more

Had delivery to the rehab my wife is in and the order was perfect, quickly delivered and good! The soups were excellent and piping hot and the Turkey / Cheddar sandwich was excellent ! read more

It would be nice if they didn't throw the bread or a bagel inside the bottom of the brown paper bag. Wrap it in a piece paper or even a napkin. read more

My order has been been wrong the last 3 times I've gone here. The wrong items were put into my bag and items have been missing.

Good you pick two. Sandwich was very good, good soup, but kind of pricey! Not sure but seems like prices went up and someone forgot to tell me. read more

I ordered a "bow"l of soup here and see the picture - I complained and they said this is a bowl. Does this look like a bowl to you? read more

Panera Bread Northvale is absolutely superlative. Wayne & staff is incredible...so warm, helpful and professional. Very comfortable restaurant with nice booths and Covid-friendly seating. Their Wi-Fi is blazing fast too! As for the food...fantastic! Everything is great, from bagels to soups to sandwiches. Their bagel prices are $1 less than the mediocre Starbucks bagels. Their pastries are freshly made, not prepackaged. Everything is immaculate here...from the restaurants to tables/booths. I used to go to Starbucks. I don't even know what Starbucks looks like anymore. read more

Generally I'm a Panera fan but had a very poor experience at this one today. The physical space is nice and pretty clean, and that was definitely the best part. There are kiosks at the front where you can order or you can go up to the counter. Plenty of seating and tables were clean. The service, however, left much to be desired. We interacted with two people at the cash registers, both of whom were rude and unhelpful. Their answers to our questions about new menu items were terse and it was clear they were uninterested in helping us or providing a positive customer service experience. The food was fine - exactly what you expect from any Panera. Next time I'm in this area, I'll skip this Panera and try something else. read more

Worst Panera I've been to which stinks cause I live down the road. Always is dirty the garbages are always full and the food is horrible. The soaps taste old the salads come with no lettuce. And if they don't have an ingredient they don't even substitute anything they just don't put it in. read more

Nice addition to the list of the stores in the chain. Similar food though I found Chicken Noodle soup too salty especially for a kid. So I don't know if I am gonna visit again But the biggest disappointment was the lack of the baby changing table in the bathroom. I guess it's not designed to be visited with a toddler. read more

Placed an order for Asian sesame chicken salad to go via touch screen. Got something of a mix version of two different salads: Thai chicken salad and asian sesame, packaged with the asian sesame dressing. This combination tasted kinda gross, couldn't finish it. read more

Stopped to get hot soup and coffee after being out they ask about eating in or take out I get my meal and then some kid they pass off as the manager says dining room closed after I have my food and coffee real nonsense read more

First order will probably be my last I ordered one of the new baguettes and an expensive drink ($7++). Now how hard is that? IT came when they said it would come BUT only the baguette sandwich. No 16oz peach/blueberry drink. That was one expensive baguette--$37. They tell me I will get a refund on my credit card. We'll see. I should have paid more attention to the reviews. read more

This is by far the best run Panera I have been to in the area. Panera is Panera--you like it or you don't. I happen to really like Panera and its offerings--the bright, open spaces to have a coffee and meal and do some work, the solid menu choices for vegetarians, the friendly staff, and the normally smooth and easy ordering and food pickup process. But after visiting another Panera store in the tristate area, I was reminded that the Northvale, NJ Panera store is head and shoulders above the other Paneras and the other quick service brands in the area. The Northvale location has multiple digital ordering tablets to make ordering super fast and the staff is well trained and do their jobs quickly and efficiently. This is not the case at other Paneras in the area and at other brands' stores. And this is why I am giving them the 5 star review. read more

Not the best experience but at least I got my money back, eventually...I placed an online order with them a few Sundays ago. Drove back Home and as I was walking to the front door the bag completely split leaving my food strewn all over the driveway.. that's where I noticed my sandwich was missing. Ugh, so I have a newborn baby it's not easy for me to find the time to run out and run these kinds of errands. I call and they confirm they did forget my sandwich. I asked the guy if he could refund me the sandwich, he said yes and I gave him my cc details. I wait about a week "returns take time" and nothing. So I call back and speak to a manager. She was very nice, took my details again and offered to return a whole sandwich as apposed to the half I ordered. That was nice of her. Eventually it hit my account. Next time I'll be sure to check before I leave! read more

We always love Panera for the good food! Wondering where the electrical outlets are for charging cellphones or laptops? Also, the music loudly playing makes it impossible to make a business call. read more

Panera Bread - X - Sandwiches Near Me - Northvale, New Jersey

I've been here a couple of times and it was just like any other Panera but today was a bit of a headache (maybe because I went on a Saturday afternoon). There were so many rowdy kids just running around aimlessly -- both toddlers and teenagers. And the staff were clearly close to ending their shift (~3:30pm) because the service was terrible/super slow, and there wasn't an adult manager in sight to whip them into shape. I even heard one kid on staff audibly complaining by my table about having to wrap a cookie for a customer (uh that's what you're paid to do?). Definitely doing Panera to go next time. Not worth the hassle. read more

This is my favorite store! Love the staff and the food is amazing. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Amazing, I go everyday and I love my life since I found this location. read more

I'm a big fan ever since they opened and I'm usually not a fan of chains. Most folks know the variety and freshness couple that with convenient locations and WiFi and a traveling businessman like myself is in heaven. Came in today to specifically try the turkey chili I saw advertised on TV. It was very tasty with quite a tangy flavor. I judge chili and other such foods on how it affects my sinuses and yep I had to grab a napkin! read more

When my buzzer rang, I went to pick up my food. I put the buzzer on the counter and grabbed my plates. However, the Panera employee got really annoyed for some reason and spiked the buzzer down on the floor. I could've easily taken that as a threat. I will file a report with the corporate headquarters about this. read more

i got the turkey bravo sandwich and it was delish. i got the rapid pick up curbside parking and someone dropped of my food very soon after i arrived! read more

Panera Bread - classic turkey bravo sandwich and chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Northvale, New Jersey

This Panera is okay, they are super busy during lunch, so I feel like they lack in staffing. Everyone is nice, but sometimes they rush and the food looks rushed or sloppy. Panera is Panera, but I feel the food should be a little bit more neatly displayed. I give a 3 stars for the "Panera Reputation" but this location could def use more staff, especially during lunch hours. read more

When I found the Northvale location, I was so happy. We had been regulars at the West Nyack restaurant and I don't think they ever got our order correct. Not only that, it appeared to be dirty. Only been to the Northvale location a few times, we had great experiences...until recently. When our daughter came to the car with the rapid pick up bag she handed me the bag and the soup was not closed properly and was pouring out all over. It burned my wrist. In the pouring rain I then ran in with the broken and dripping bags. I took all the food out and noticed they gave us an incorrect sandwich order. They remade all the food. The woman handed me the newly made food and without any eye contact, she handed me the bag and walked away. Never a sorry or an extra bag of chips. To make matters worse, they forgot 2 pieces of baguette and I paid 2.00 extra for avocado, which was only a few pieces and rock hard and extra mozzarella...which is good I did because I counted 5 tiny pieces on my salad. I called the manage and explained everything. He said well if you come back we would be happy to remake a salad for you. He also said that all the customers were returning the dishes that had avocado in them. I said if it's not ripe, it should be taken off the menu. He agreed. Really bad management in the Northvale location. Will let corporate know as well. read more

Very surprised this place only has 3 stars! Pros: The food is good (squash soup is excellent, any sandwich with freshly-made bread), the environment is great, especially for getting work done (if you don't mind music in the background), and the employees are wonderful. I enjoy the fact that there's self-checkout. Cons: Pricey? I actually don't think it's expensive for what you're getting (it's not McDonald's, yo), but my friend seems to think so. read more

Tim is the Asian American manager at the store. He is amazing. He was working in the summer when the air conditioning was broken for two days straight managing the store all by himself with no other employees helping him that day. He always greets all of his customers with a smile no matter how hot and the conditions are. That day he was working solo and had amazing customer service to everyone who walked in the door I cannot thank him and praise him enough thank you for your service and making the Panera experience the best experience ever in Northvale New Jersey highly recommend because of Tim's leadership. read more

This was easily the weirdest experience at a Panera in my life. Never had it before so when I walked in I mentioned that to the cashier and she was very lovely helping me through everything. After I completed my order I questioned where to wait for my pick up order so I asked a gentleman working where to pick it up from. He then asks for my name in a disgusting manner to which I reply I just want to know where to wait. Yet again he asks for my name in an even more rude manner. I instantly said that was quite rude. Overall the food is good but now I have so much respect for the other two kind workers having to be around that negative disgusting guy who I encountered today. Wish I could give the lady who took my order 100$ right now for having to deal w that dude every day read more

Really don't know why this location has 3 stars. EVERYONE here was pleasant to speak to. When I got my order, even thought it was busy, she asked if I needed anything else and to let me know. When I finished my food, I had two people approach me asking if they could take my tray for me. It was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely be coming back. The store was also very clean. The little details in customer service mean a lot!!! read more

Place is never clean, and they run specials like the bagels free for the month of April every time I go they run out of bagels and don't make up for it. Why run specials if you can't make good for it? Get your act together! read more

I've always found Panera to be hit or miss. I'm not referring to one particular cafe. My comments apply to my general experience. We mainly order salads and when they're prepared properly the salads are very satisfying. But often they are sloppily tossed together and Ingredients are missing. Most of the items on the menu are overpriced, especially the soups and sandwiches. The sandwiches particularly are mostly disappointing. Today's experience motivated me to write this review. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato. As usual, it looked delicious on the menu. When I opened the box I saw a puny sandwich with barely a slice of cheese, two tiny slices of tomato and two small pieces of bacon. Honestly, you hardly were able to see the cheese because it had been absorbed by the bread. That's how little cheese was there. The word anemic comes to mind when I think of this sandwich. But the price was anything but anemic. The sandwich costs $9.39. I've eaten good 3 course meals in diners for less. I like the premise of Panera as a healthier alternative to fast food, but the inconsistencies and bad value will make me think twice before returning. read more

Panera was a fair but over priced venue given the fact there are about 10 other local and tasty deli's nearby to this location. Another fact is they dropped the best and overall most healthiest bread they had****** Rye bread . Why do you drop such a diverse and different bread for some other form of a white bread? I have written and talked with management there, but whatever their reason rye is gone, and so are my lunches there. read more

Was greeted by a very friendly gentleman who was offering free desert samples. Unfortunately, I was not notified of his name. However, this employee should be given a raise and promotion due to his friendliness and professionalism. Thank You for making my day. read more

I had chicken noodle soup to go and I was so disappointed. Didn't have much the ingredients that you would find in a typical chicken noodle soup and I dare say canned soup must have more ingredients than panera. I'll never order the chicken noodle soup or other soups to go at panera cause it's just not worth the money for $4.70 with tax. read more
