Clean, never crowded with a quick turnaround on orders. That's about all I expect from a counter-service restaurant. Otherwise, high turnover in employees and limited training provided by either corporate or the franchise owner becomes obvious if you ever experience an issue that needs to be resolved at this location. But, we like fresh food prepared fresh and that is what Panera is known for and this location comes thru on. We'll dine here again. read more

This Panera Bread was the worst- worst service and worst experience. First of all you come in and there are kiosks at the entrance to order food. The kiosks are not terribly friendly to place an order and, what I thought, lacking in detail for each dish. We wanted to go to the counter but there wasn't a person in sight. I ordered the Mediterranean sandwich without feta, not being able to do dairy. The sandwich came covered in feta. I brought it back to the counter and painfully waited for someone to see me, told them I "inputted" no feta- all via the kiosk. The person at the counter was not very friendly but took the sandwhich and said they would take care of it. They delivered it back to my table and it was the same sandwhich, with remnants of feta. They literally brushed feta off instead of making a new sandwhich. We tossed the sandwhich and left for somewhere else to eat. I would not go back to this location. Service and inside are not hospitable in anyway. read more

My dog Lily and I went through the drive thru and Julia was so sweet and helpful! She gave my puppy a bone and even fed it to her. Lily says thank you Seranna, the manager was also very sweet and helpful. Sometimes people don't take the time to say thank you to the people that work hard to serve us. So, an extra special thank you to this staff. Proper management has a trickle down effect. Thank you read more

I adore Panera! Esp their broccoli cheddar SOUP! And their mac n cheese. But also I've had sandwiches cookies bread, good drinks. I would never turn down a lunch date to Panera. This location is clean, quick friendly service and food is as I said...yum!!! If I want a warm bowl of soup and maybe a half sandwich or Mac n cheese bowl to go with, Panera is the go to! And this location is everything great about the franchise! read more

Over the past two months, I've taken my cousin to this Panera bread several times a week for summer tutoring. I must compliment the service at this location but more than this, I feel I must compliment the management. The manager at this location is incredibly friendly, attentive, and personable. He greeted us fondly everyday and even encouraged my little cousin to keep going by giving us Panera stickers. When I say that a promotion, raise, or bonus has never been more well-deserved, I mean it! Thank you for making our summer at Panera so enjoyable and always bringing the brightest energy! read more

Amazing hospitality! I came here alone with a toddler and a baby which keeps my hands very full. The two managers were so friendly and helpful they carried all my food to my table, brought me a high chair and asked multiple times if there was anything else they could get or help me with. They also came back around to pick up my dishes after we were finished. He even noticed that my toddler had dropped her apple on the floor and he brought us a new apple in a paper bag so she could take it home. I am very appreciative for the help and genuine hospitality from the two managers. Thank you again! read more

My wife and I eat here often and the and everyone that works there are so nice. The service is excellent. It's a very very clean establishment. Good parking good air-conditioning and the food is excellent. I highly recommend this Panera Bread in our area and I will continue to take my wife there and enjoy the Caesar chicken salad and bread as well excellent thank you it's a great place to dine. I wanna personally think the stuff for always being so kind and helpful to us. Thank you Kevin and Cherie. read more

The food was really good but confused to why they decided to not use half the ingredients on my toast. This is what I received compared to what I ordered. A little bit of false advertising here read more

Their food is usually good but this location is the worst I've been to. Ordered a pick-two with a salad and soup, not that hard. When I walked in the bag was sitting on the counter ready. The manager lady said here you go. Got out to the car and it seemed light for what I had ordered. I broke the tape and there was NO soup!! So I walked back in, a young guy asked if I was missing something. I said yes, a soup. I ordered pick-two and only got salad. He asked what kind of soup and I told him, but he didn't give it to me until I tossed the bag to the lady with the headset to make sure I really did pay for it. Neither one of them apologized for the missing item! She was the adult manager and I felt like she should have said something!! I said "good thing I checked or I'd have gotten home pissed!" He said yeah. Worst service ever!! She needs to be retrained on customer service!! read more

Fast drive thru. The drive thru is a little awkward with a sharp turn that anything bigger than a compact car could easily hit the curb. But other than that, service was friendly and everything came out fresh. Didn't go inside, but the drive thru was fast. read more

The service was absolutely atrocious. We sat in the drive through for 15 mins for a coffee and egg sandwich. The kid taking orders had no personality. The other person that was helping him looked like she hated being at work. It was a Sunday around 8:30-9 so I will give them the high school tiered but at least have a positive attitude. My wife said she should have had pull through McDonald's instead. She said the bagel was soggy. Well to say the least we will not be going back to Panera in Happy Valley ( Not sure how HAPPY they are. ) read more

I don't know what's going on at this location but it is so dirty, the dining room, the restrooms the entire place is a mess. A lot of the employees that were there for a long time are gone and all new faces. Is this a franchise or corporate owned. Either way it needs a good cleaning. I'm a little leary to get an ice tea since I don't know when the containers were last cleaned. Get it together, this is in a nice location. read more

I'll let the picture speak for itself... that was supposed to be a green goddess sandwich... this location has gone downhill and the food is not worth the price. The staff was so rude last time I picked up. Tossed my bag down like it was inconvenient of me to order food. read more

Panera Bread - A wanna be green goddess - Salad Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

I don't know what happened to Panera, but this was an incredibly disappointing meal. Sandwich - dry. Salad - bland. Kids meal - I wouldn't even call it that. I customized my sandwich which received barely a drizzle of aioli resulting in a dry, inedible hunk of bread. My salad was mostly covered with water and a spritz of dressing. The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad has been a staple for years but this was terrible. The kids meal was nothing more than a slice of meat and a slice of cheese on a piece of bread. When something is called a "meal," one would expect a side, a drink, maybe even a small coloring book for a kid. Overall, this was such a disappointing experience that we all said we'll never come back once we left. read more

I really love the salads here. There are so many fresh ingredients to fill your tummy with delicious, good for you food. You can customize every ingredient. Add your favorites, drop anything you dislike and end up with your perfect dish! I recommend going in versus the drive through so you can go through all the customization options. The dining room is very comfortable and clean. read more

We love ordering ahead here to grab a quick lunch after a hike. For 5 people we get a family feast plus one personal order. Service is always pretty fast and the workers are really friendly. The amount of food we get for the price is pretty good and all of us love the taste! I really love how easy Panera makes it to personalize your order through the app (remove ingredients, things on the side, etc) and our orders are always accurate with all of our requests. read more

Had lunch with the kiddos on a cold rainy day which called for some soup. Lots of room to find a table inside. Quiet full of people studying, reading and meeting. We mobile ordered and went in and sat down and ate. Kiddo number one had the chicken soup. She loved it but there wasn't a lot in it besides broth. Had just a couple of noodles. Tomato soup was good with the bread to dip it in. The texture was great feel like it could use a bit more seasoning though. My son and I both had the spicy chicken sandwich. We added bacon. This was good but wasn't that spicy. Not a very busy day and lots of tables available. The staff was helpful and food was done ahead of the time on the app which is always good. An average tasting meal in your typical Panera place. Feel like they are need of same added flavor before they can be 4-5 star. read more

I was craving bagels. Being from NY I expected a much better product. On my way home from work our regular bagel store is too far away so, I figured I'd give Panera Bread a go. This was my first time buying food from Panera. I ordered a Bakers Dozen of bagels. What I got was stale and contained four actual bagels (two cinnamon/raisin, and two sesame). The rest are what they call a flat bagel. In no way shape or form is a Roll and Bagel. I wish, I truly wish businesses would not sell garbage recipes. I wanted real bagels, not flat stale rolls. My receipt says 2 sesame, 2 cinnamon swirl, two cinnamon crunch, 2 Asiago, 2 plain bagels and 2 sprout grain flat bagels. I wanted bagels and got a bag of flat rolls. This was my first and last time ever buying from Panera bread. read more

This panera is a very special gem in Arizona. I am a panera enthusiast located in Wisconsin and I proud member of the unlimited sip club. Not only did a worker comment how cute my shirt was, but my mom was also surprised with free coffee and my sister a free cookie. I highly recommend! :) Side Note - I don't know if this is a new addition to the unlimited sip club but at this panera a hibiscus drink was also included read more

First, this was a tasty sandwich. However, skimpy toppings doesn't even really cover how bare this sandwich was. Baguette was HUGE but toppings weren't. I had to reassemble all of the ingredients onto one half of the bread to even get full coverage. Again, very tasty, but felt cheated by the lack of ingredients. read more

Fantastic experience for a quick drop in lunch before a work meeting. This place is ran like it's family owned. everyone was so kind and friendly, and really took pride in each step of my interaction with them! The experience I had today makes me want to use Panera Bread more! I provide daily lunches to offices and I will definitely start ordering more catered meals from them. (Wish it could always be from this location!) Thank you Panera team for making my day. read more

Clean quiet and cool air. Thry guys loved the Chicken Chipolte Egg Avocado Wrap. At only $6 it is a great option. They both felt they couldn't have had another one right after this as they aren't super big, but didn't want to push it and end up too full. read more

Ordered Curbside Delivery & got my food quickly with contact free hand off! I got the pick two with the Cobb salad and Mac n Cheese (fiesta style). The food temperature was perfect, the value was good for what I got and I didn't have any issues. I would definitely recommend curbside ordering on the app and parking in front or this location has a drive thru as well! read more

Perfect place to come and grab a quick healthy bite. Love they offer to "Pick 2" items in case you want a little bit of soup and salad or half sandwich and soup or salad. Full order of sandwich, soup or salad comes with free choice of sliced fresh baguette, bag of chips or an apple. They have a nice selection of fresh baked goodies like cookies, scones, muffins and sourdough loaf, rolls, etc. Easy to order through app, kiosk or at counter. Nice there are plenty of dedicated parking for pick up orders. Good, clean place to have a casual bite and take time to fill up and get back on the go. read more

This review is for Panera on 77th and Bell road When I went in, I waited in line for several minutes before a young girl popped her head around the corner. She had been telling a story to someone she was working with and not paying attention to customers at all. There was about six people behind me waiting, then she finally came to the counter. Rudely asked what I wanted and I ordered then as I'm waiting for my order she's walking around with a bowl of food eating in the back while they're preparing food, talking and not paying attention to anything going on at the front register again apparently they were out of baguettes so they threw a quarter of a slice of sourdough bread at the bottom of my bag and put my salads right on top of it no covering for the bread no bag nothing. When I asked if I could get more bread, she very rudely brought out two more slices and instead is this good enough? I said sure thank you I will never go back to Panera. The workers are rude. They don't care about the guest and when I got home, my food was disgusting. My lettuce was wilted and it was about three-quarter full for $12 for a bowl of lettuce with no chicken or anything it should be full.. This was literally the worst Panera I have ever visited. I will continue to be a patron at Lake Pleasant and happy Valley Road because they by far are the best Panera should do something about these employees if they want to keep their guests I had seen it has 2.5 stars and now I know why. read more

Usually love this location but the service I got this afternoon was anger inducing. They are usually very ontop it stuff, very kind and very quick. Which is why I usually stop in a lot for my lunch breaks. I order my food, use the restaurant and wait for my to go. Usually I do this and as soon as I come out, the food is ready. It wasn't today and I was fine with that so I waited. I noticed it has been 10 minutes and still no food. All the employees are talking to each other. No one else is ordering and there's no new orders coming in... so they just all stopped working and we're talking. I get taking a break but I need to get back to work and this is taking forever to get 2 items... I think one of the guys saw I was getting irritated and called for my name to get my food. I go up there and he only has my drink. I ask where my food is and it's still not ready. He apologizes and another worker gives me a free cookie which was nice so I got over it. He gets my bowl and I leave. I get back to work and my rice and beans in the bowl are freezing cold. They didn't cook it or even try to warm it up. Even the vegetables are freezing. So not only is my food not cooked, I had no time to eat because of how long it took. Guess I'm going to have to find another place to stop at for lunch that has vegetarian options... read more

Boxed, bagged, and frozen foods heated (sometimes). At extraordinary prices, what more could you ask (I mean pay) for? I was so excited for a ginger molasses cookie. Too bad it was freezing and hard as a rock. I wish I didn't order 6! My $13 lesson learned doesn't have to be yours! read more

there used to be 2 older ladies working the back end who were amazingly kind and made great sandwiches. yesterday i got a tuna sandwich and 2 soups... both soups were gross, watery and had a weird taste and i ended up tossing both out. tuna sandwich usually has tons of mixed greens on it and this time had one measly piece of romaine on it. guy working the back pickup counter was not pleasant either. i also left a note to not put the cold sandwich in the bag with the hot soups and they couldn't even do that either. will not be going back to this location, food was horrible. read more

My friend and I have eaten dinner or lunch here a few times a week for more than 2 years. It has gone down hill so badly that tonight we vowed never to return to this location. The place is filthy, really unkept and filthy. The service is almost non-existent. There was no one at the cash register counter to take orders and after waiting several minutes and calling out with no response I walked around the corner into the food prep area. It was disgusting! We have noticed over the past few months that there is a new manager every time we go in. We used to be hopeful that the new one would make a positive difference but each new person was not there the next time we came in and their replacement seemed less experienced. Tonight I had to ask who was the manager. The woman said it was her 1st job at managing a restaurant. She was a deer in the headlights with apparently no clue as to how best to answer a disappointed customer. The food has gone downhill too. After spending $16 on half a sandwich and a bowl of soup without any table service, you get to bus your own dishes - this was ok when food and service were good but it's the last insult before you leave the place. read more

Popped into this location with my famished littles after running errands. We decided to try the new flatbread pizzas. Although not terrible I'd say they aren't stellar either just kind of mediocre. Pretty bare pastry selection to boot! Overall custer service was good though. read more

2 stars for the food being pretty decent but service sucks. I've ordered from here two different times and BOTH times they completely screwed up. Both times was a mobile or to-go order. There was a young girl there once when I tried to order for the first time back in 2015, I was very pregnant and had never eaten there. She was so rude and was snappy about my not knowing they didn't still serve lunch. (Sorry but their menu inside is crazy overwhelming) and sorry I didn't read every detail. She simply didn't need to be rude and snappy. She's lucky my prego ass didn't chew her a new one, with how hangry I was. Basically from her attitude and how she spoke to me, we just walked out and told them thanks but no thanks. Terrible customer service is one of my biggest issues with businesses. I've worked in sales and customer service my whole life and I guess I hold my standard higher. I don't care who you are, treat people how you'd want yourself or your own family to be treated. If you can't do that, find a new job. I'm sure the young 18-20 something isn't there anymore. But if she couldn't handle appropriate customer service at a job at Panera, good luck somewhere else. Hopefully they have improved staff. They seem busy there when I drive by, however I'll stay away after my 3 experiences over the last 4 years. read more

Panera Bread - We ordered rapid pick up and they gave me basic Mac instead of the Bacon Mac I paid extra for. Something like happens every time. - Salad Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Horrible location. Have been here a few times as a last resort, but after my most recent visit I will not be back. Drive thru orders are never right (all 3 visits). Last evening I placed an order online via the Panera App for Rapid Pickup. I ordered the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup (Group). The item shows it will serve a group of 4 for $16.99. Yeah, right - you get two large cups of soup. The soup was mainly broth, quantity might serve 2 at most, and was way overpriced. I called Panera to confirm I received the correct amount of soup and they said "YES". If I wanted this quality/quantity of soup I would have bought 3 cans at the store for $3! This is not to be expected when paying $16.99. Panera Bread customer no more! read more

Unfriendly staff not pleasant... Ciabatta cheesesteak has been my favorite sanwhich lately. Today I was at this location. There was hardly any peppers or meat on the sandwhich many bites were just the tasty bread. For $10 I never felt short on the sandwhich until this morning. I don't recommend this location I see why the reviews low. read more

I normally love Panera, but this location is terrible. I walked in, placed my $15.00 order on the kiosk and headed to the pick up spot to pick up my food. I was stopped by who I am assuming is the manager who asked me if he could help me. I told him that I just placed my order and was waiting for my food. He informed me that they were closed and asked which door I came. I came in through the side door as it was closest to my car. He said that they were having a employee meeting and that they would cancel my order. Their website and here on yelp indicates that they should be opened. I searched for about 15min trying to find a restaurant in the area that would accommodate my dietary needs before I came here. I guess I am just a little hangry right now. 3/4/2019 My $15.29 transaction was not voided. Now I have to find time in my busy schedule to fight for my money to be refunded! read more

The service my husband and I have here on 4/22 /24 was terrible. First thing after ordering my husband walk up to the kitchen ask the girl if he can have his drink cup first. She looks at him and said I give you when I give you. Omg and when our sandwiches ready he still didn't receive his cup. I have go to ask her again. She gives me without a word apology or anything. And when we just in the middle of eating. The cleaning girl comes next to us and sweeping all the trash to our table I can feel it lands on my feet and flying dust into our food. So we can't eat there anymore I have to wrapped my sandwich and left. I love Panera, but will never go back to this location anymore. read more

The new chefs chicken sandwich is an epic failure, what a joke, $11.49 for shit food. The chicken was hard, bread cold, smothered in spicy wing sauce basically. Why are you still in business? Please close your store so Chick-fil-A can open in your place because they are the champions of chicken sandwiches. read more

I frequently go to other Panera locations and receive great service. This location is the closest to my home and I will purposefully drive farther if I decide to order Panera again. I've definitely experienced why they have several low ratings. I first tried this location out last year ordered a large iced tea and received a large iced black coffee. Anyways, I decided to give this location another chance today. My usual order for years is a half Cesar salad and half turkey apple cheddar sandwich. The woman taking my order advised that the apple cheddar sandwich is seasonal and they do not carry it anymore. Since I've ordered that sandwich for years it's obviously not seasonal and it's still up on their drive thru menu. I asked "how is it seasonal I usually order this?". No response from the woman taking my order. I said "hello?". Another 30 seconds go by silence. "Hello?" Again. Silence. At this point I decide to leave and go somewhere else. Only when I am about to leave the woman says "do you want a BLT?". What in the world? Clearly she is not even paying attention and left me sitting without completing an order or even answering my question about this now "seasonal" sandwich. Lol. read more
