Picked up a SEC Asiago bagel stack and hot chocolate on the way to an event. Added some sweet peppers and tomato for more flavor and it was OK. I think I like their breakfast sandwiches better on their breads. read more

I visited this location on a Monday afternoon for lunch. The establishment was nice and clean. I did notice they did not have the kiosks like other locations so you do have to go to the register to place your order. Or, you can use your mobile app. Everything was great. I ordered something simple, which was a cinema raisin bagel toasted with cream cheese. It was made to order and delicious. Overall, the establishment was very clean. read more

Service and food quality is not good and normally customers are same. Service is done by low or no self steam people so food it's same

Absolutely terrible service and no one seems to care, called in a order and waited over a half an hour to get it and to find out that the order was incorrect. The manager Kelli couldn't run a Ferris wheel at a carnival. read more

It was fine. Typically Panera. The ciabatta egg and cheese was OK. Nothing to write home about. I added salt and pepper to give more flavor. Server was nice. read more

It's just bagels, but it was confusing to pickup and they left out a few things even though it was all on the receipt. 1. Got a text it was ready at the shelf, but it was not (it was brought out at a different counter) 2. No utensils 3. No napkins 4. Not sliced Sad read more

An Absolute Disaster -- This Panera Needs a Full Shutdown If you enjoy cold, underwhelming food served by a team starring in their own workplace soap opera, this location is for you. The food? Embarrassing. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and was greeted by three lonely scraps of chicken hiding inside. THREE. I didn't know I ordered the "diet version." The coffee tasted like burnt regret, and the mac & cheese looked like it was nuked in a microwave and stirred with a broom. Bonus surprise: a mystery hair inside. Yum. Now onto the true horror: the management. Juan (the "manager") acts like he's running Hell's Kitchen, except the only thing on fire is the morale. He's loud, rude, and openly humiliates employees instead of supporting them. It's unprofessional and hard to watch. And then there's Salma -- the self-appointed assistant manager, aka the gossip queen. She seems more interested in spying on coworkers and whispering like she's in a spy movie than actually doing her job. It's giving mean girl energy with a headset. This place is a toxic mess. Low staff energy, chaos behind the counter, and a general sense of doom in the air. Save yourself the stomachache and the headache -- go literally anywhere else. read more

DIRTY. This Panera was amazing when it first opened in Olney years ago. Now it is dirty and depressing. After getting our food, we walked to 4 different tables to find one that was clean. This is the new norm. The wall of our booth was stained and splattered with old food. The portions have been shunk, not a lot of chicken salad on my sandwich. Prices are now sky high, time to go elsewhere. read more

Ordered a four cheese soufflé last Friday 6/7 and it was grossly undercooked. Terrible! read more

Ok, it would be a 3 or so - typical Panera - except this location has the ABSOLUTE LOUDEST restaurant kitchen I have ever heard. By a very great measure. I'm all the way across the restaurant, sipping my chai, and I'm regularly startled to the point of my pulse beginning to race, because there's one woman back there who regularly, abruptly shrieks, at the top of her lungs, something unintelligible in Spanish - often the name "Maria," but I can't make out the rest ... and most of the other folks there respond. It can't possibly be necessary to be so loud that the entire restaurant is disturbed by it, surely. Seriously - in the 2 or 3 minutes I've been typing this review, she's done it at least a dozen times. It's incredibly disruptive. Otherwise it's an ordinary Panera. Clean, with brisk service. But if you want a quiet coffee or relaxed conversation ... go elsewhere. read more

No complaints its a typical Panera Bread. The food was average which is too be expected and the order came out pretty quick.

This franchise is known for their bakery and sandwiches. Their Mac&Cheese is amazing...there's definitely a lot of cream and butter in it but it's addicting. They offer a lot of light/healthy options. I often get their 1/2 soup or salad with 1/2 sandwich for about $10. I used to order their bagels religiously but after working at a New York based bagel company, I could never go back to just Panera bagels. read more

Staff are not friendly, but not rude, either. I ate indoors, and my food looked like it was just slapped together. I found it hard to communicate with the person who took my order, because she didn't know the menu and couldn't answer my questions. So, all in all, not terrible, but there's some room in the customer service aspect. read more

I've had delivery from the Olney location many times...and it's rare if there isn't something wrong with the order; either an item missing or incorrect. Yesterday I ordered the new Rustic Baked Potato Soup....Not good at all. Completely watered down with very little substance to it. Should've just popped open a can a soup of that would've been much better and cheaper! The tuna sandwich was actually quite good...but hard to mess up really. It's a shame that they can't be consistent in their quality because overall the selections are interesting, but lacking in execution. read more

What is up with Panera in Olney?? Out of baguettes AGAIN!! Chicken Bacon Rancher sandwich is a JOKE!! Supposedly comes with bacon. One time it had bacon chips and the second time, none at all. Soup was barely warm. I'm out. Last time for disappointment. Panera in G'burg is much better. read more

I accidentally ordered at the wrong location but the Olney location fixed my mistake and made my order right away. Thanks so much!!

Consistently on the decline for the last year. Closes at 9:00 but they start mopping and removing all food before 8:00 p.m. more and more the staff seems disconnected and not customer focused. Medicare food, warmed in a microwave read more

I like this Panera. They have nice outdoor seating--some umbrella tables for four and some tables for two along the front. They are following Covid protocols. The people waiting in line inside were social distancing. I am doing Weight Watchers and I found they had some good lunch choices in terms of soups. The 10 Vegetable soup was very good (I ordered a bowl). It comes with a half baguette. It was a gorgeous sunny day. read more

Panera Bread - Patio seating - Sandwiches Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Panera Bread in Olney has really gone downhill (and may be at the bottom). The lines are almost always out the door. They screw up every other order. No wonder! Everybody who works there quits after a week. So, they always have new trainees trying to figure out what to do. The food quality has also declined significantly, which surprisingly goes counter to their "Mission Statement" that promises healthy ingredients. Hard to do if you keep using food additives and pre-packaged items. I've noticed several of their locations in Maryland have closed recently. Maybe something better will open when Panera closes the Olney store. read more

Not sure what happened at this location. Maybe change in ownership. Service is unbelievably slow. Ten people waiting for their order, "kitchen" unorganized and arguing with each other. Screen showing pending orders that are 12 minutes in. What happened here? read more

Good food and warm bread always satisfied the kids. Friendly service make it good experience dinning here. read more

I used to be a regular here but they just get my order wrong most times. I bought cream cheese and they didn't include it. Isn't that stealing? Don't go here read more

We really like Panera, but this location is poorly managed and always gets our order wrong. Find another location

I went to panera bread to get 2 smoothies. When I went to the cashier he was very rude and very short with me. He was a guy 5'9 with blonde hair. I felt like i was being rushed. He snatched my money from me and walked away. 5/10 experience. read more

Been patronizing this location sporadically since it opened. Used to have loaves of sourdough bread that I could request thick sliced. So good toasted! First turn off: big curly black beard hair laying in the center of my potato soup right on top. Took it back to server at pick up counter & got a new bowl but lost my appetite. No beard covers/nets required? Second issue: pick up/order ahead is hit or miss as far as contents. Just ordered delivery last night. Everything was stone cold & order was way late. But quality of food had little to do with late arrival. Baguette was weapon-grade hard. Flat bread pizza was like eating a salt lick - inedible. Had to throw away. Kids grilled cheese was not grilled but was semi-toasted bread. Tomato soup & Mac & cheese were ok but that was eaten by my partner. I wound up prying open baguette & eating center. Lastly, I was clobbered on the head & back by a closed umbrella that blew over on top of me as I was walking into the place. Hurt me for days. Staff wasn't around when it happened & I had to stand there with the projected end stabbing me until staff could take it off of me. I get no luck with this place. read more

Panera Bread - Cheese flatbread pizza & kids grilled cheese half sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Terrible Ordered a tuna sandwich there was hardly any tuna on it It was ordered on line the direction we're specific It was curb side pick I called in and I asked to speak to the manager immediately came to my car , The manager was very nice in demeanor his name is Brian Customer Service My only issue with Brian is that he tried to justify that the tuna was sufficient and it clearly was not for the sandwich it was improperly made This sandwich photographed shows there was not even a scoop of tuna on there He plead his case try to say it was because of the portions size It showed pic of the advertised sandwich as proof it's not because of the portions it was just poorly made there was literally no tuna on a tuna sandwich I attached a picture for record read more

Staff who work where food is plated & served are unbearably loud. They stay at maximum only ten feet from one another yet talk so loudly that their voices invade the entire seating areas. They have no sense of atmosphere. I dont know if they were using drugs or why they were so elated, laughing, and screaming. This isn't their personal amusement park. They scream out names for pickup obnoxiously and loudly. Everything is conveyed at same volume. There was no management correction when requested. Not fun, just inelegant. When I knocked in the counter to get their attention to request a container to be able to pack my food and leave, they continued bantering so loudly and couldn't hear either my voice or my knocking. Dec 22 between 12-1pm. read more

I usually stop at this Panera on Sunday mornings before going to the Olney Farmers Market. On my last visit I just ordered coffee to go The counter person took my order but handed me the cup with two fingers gripping the inside of the cup. I noticed it immediately but didn't mention it to the manager because it was very busy at that time. I poured the hot water from the coffee bar to wash out the cup. I am writing this so the manager will bring it to the attention of the people staffing the front counter. I don't think it was an intentional move, but it did freak me out a bit. read more

I love Panera and this one is consistently good in terms of quality and service. Love the Fuji Apple Chicken salad! Yum!! Also, I love the black bean soup and Caesar salad too! Not to mention the ginger peach (hot) tea. I think I love everything on the menu! Woot woot! read more

This place is not that bad. It has paninis, Pizzas, sandwiches, and pretty much Kettle chips and Mac and Cheese. It's pretty much 100% artisan products and I highly recommend it. read more

Horrible. I specifically asked the cashier for no cheese on my chipotle avocado melt. Why was there an absurd amount of cheese? I picked the cheese off as best I could and finally started to eat. Then I spit it out. Explain to me why my chicken was pink? Horrible. I don't think this is the cashiers fault as on the receipt I can see the no cheese specification is there, but the food is only as good as its kitchen, and the kitchen staff suck. They didn't listen to my specific requirements for my food that I made and then fed me raw chicken. Do not come here. read more

I placed my order for pick up. Madagascar cold brew with almond milk today and they gave me the cold chocolate. When I brought back to work, and I realized they gave a a wrong order. I tried to call the store several times and they kept put me on hold more than 10 mins. I just want to know if I can bring it back for exchange. read more

The new Southwest Chicken Caesar is bland. Service is worst. They forgot to put chicken and when I showed my whole salad. They gave me sliced chicken in a paper bowl. The one making the salad was pissed on top of that. read more

The food is great nice and warm with good taste and has good drinks but when you place a Oder it not the very best but overall it's great

Today was first & last day coming here. I don't recommend coming to this Panera bread in Olney, my girlfriend & l were dinning in & l got a broccoli cheater soup. I ended up finding a piece of bandaid in my soup, unfortunately l forgot to take a picture but l told the manager & they didn't care. #neveragain read more

Went to Panera to pick up breakfast for the first time. My boyfriend got the Chipotle Chicken, Scrambled Egg & Avocado wrap. He took one bite, and spit it out. He then threw up because it tasted so bad. I got a plain bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel was not toasted, even though I asked for it to be toasted. And the chive cream cheese was not very good. I did get a blueberry muffin as well. Which was very good. read more

I have hit or miss experiences with this Panera. If I am eating at the restaurant everything is good. The service is fast and my order is correct. If I order rapid takeout (most of my orders) everything is not so good. Most of the time they either forget about my order or are waiting on something. Not to mention the order is almost never correct. The people who work here are very polite and always make the corrections. The one consistency is that the food is always good. The outside tables are a nice option at this location. In the summer there is live music and a water feature for kids to play in. TIPS: This is one of the worst parking lots in Montgomery County. Park over at the grocery store and walk or you will be circling forever. Also if you can get a table on a nice day take it, you will be glad that you did! read more

had kept gift cards associated with my Panera Bread account. I don't go there that frequently, but between my children and I, we had accumulated almost $200 on various cards. I went to Panera in Walpole on 10/29 and when I looked at the activity on my account, I noticed that I had no gift card money and there were three orders totaling $192 going to the same address in Olney, MD. I contacted customer service, who offered me "possibly $75" based on it getting approved by a supervisor and that they would get back to me within a 3 - 5 business days. A week passed and I got no contact whatsoever. I called again, and I was told it was to be going to have to be forwarded to the district office and they would get back to me. Finally Jason Smith from the district office (Lemek LLC DBA/Panera Bread) did get back to me a month later and needed a copy of the gift cards as well copies of the orders, which I provided to him. After another month, he finally got back to me and told me that I was out of luck because of all the time that had passed, but did copy another person (Evan) on the email so I could get the $6 remaining that is now on a frozen gift card. He said that if I called customer service that they "may give you the original $75 that they offered you". I have tried calling Evan, with no response. No one at customer service cares. I just wish that someone cared enough to help me get my money on my gift cards back. read more

Solid place to work- I appreciate the large number of computer outlets! Usually on the chilly side and can get busy during peak hours. The food, drinks, etc. is pretty typical for Panera- nothing stood out either way from other locations. There is some nice outdoor seating if the weather is nice as well! read more
