I just got the Lemon Chicken Orzo soup and it was really awful. There was barely anything in it and the broth tasted like water. The one piece of chicken I got in it was so gross looking I had to take it out and throw away (it was attached to a string of purple weirdness and fat) so disappointed. read more

Large & fast but they forgot my toddler's food. If you've never had a toddler, this is one of the worst possible things that could ever happen that doesn't involve death or dismemberment. resulting commotion sounded a lot like death &/or dismemberment, though. Two year olds are awesome, FYI. read more

Huge! Convenient, friendly and with WiFi. Plenty of parking. And unbeatable for a good - and healthy breakfast. Probably the healthiest lunch menu out of all the "fast food" chains. And despite the crowds, it's clean and airy. read more

This restaurant has a lot of space with tables, seats, and booths if you want to hang out with some friends for a while. The cashier was very nice in her conversation. My order was prepared very fast. I enjoyed the taste of my broccoli cheddar soup and baguette. The bacon in my BLT roasted turkey avocado sandwich was soggy and not as good as I have eaten at other locations of Panera. read more

Actually, for a Panera, this was quite nice. I was at the Petersen Event Center and this was a quick walk down the hill....idiot me never realized I'd eventually have to go back up the hill. The restaurant is huge...they must have room to seat 300 people, and every visit it's always been packed. Surprisingly, this Panera, for its location has a decent staff. They're quick and they prepare their easily prepared national chain foods quickly. Personal pet peeve that Panera's are Pepsi establishments but soda and pop are bad for you and I shouldn't drink it anyways. read more

Standard Panera, from what I've experienced. In general, I feel that Panera doesn't give much food for what they charge. On Thursdays from 4:00 to 8:00, students can get any soup in a bread bowl for $3 with the purchase of a drink. Pretty good deal. The bread bowl also comes with chips, apple, or bread. I'm not sure if it was because of the deal (I've only been on weekends before), but there was quite a line when I went around 7 pm. The wait time to order and for the food to be ready wasn't bad, though. I'll probably be back only for this deal--there are plenty of other places that will give more food for less money. read more

The food here was better than any other Panera I've been to. It's very nice and clean and the food is amazing. Got our food really fast too!

I absolutely love Panera! I like the pick 2 that they have on the menu. I usually get a salad with soup. I would recommend trying out the steak and blue cheese salad. I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I ask them for feta cheese instead. The cream of chicken and wild rice is really good too! I have yet to try the broth bowls, but if you go on their website and watch about 2 videos that are 2 minutes in length then you get $5.00 off of the broth bowl! Hopefully, it's still on the website! Check it out! :) read more

Awesome location and free parking! They also have a large isolated room that is excellent for studying. I think this might be the same location as 3401 Blvd of the Allies. read more

I ordered pick 2 - picked broccoli cheese soup and 1/2 chicken greek salad. I ordered it to go and when I got back to my desk, I realized there was NO chicken on my salad. I immediately called and asked if there was supposed to be chicken on my salad. The girl said yes, and I said, well my salad doesn't have chicken on it. She said "yea, Oh well, sometimes that happens!" She never offered to make this right. I would have returned for the chicken (I'm across the street) nor did she offer any apology or solution to make my order right? Just hung up. Oh well, I guess I will find a new place for lunch read more

Probably the worst experience I've ever had at a Panera in my life. Cashier was not friendly, did not seem to be engaged or even want to work. My food was missing chicken ... Went back to the counter and let them know.. the Young lady working behind the counter stared at me, did not apologize, but rather threw the chicken in the microwave and put on the counter and turned back around. I will never to this location. So far treatment and terrible food service read more

Friendly staff, clean environment, yummy pastries. Definitely a good place to study (read procrastinate) when you need a break from the library. My favorites are their artisan chocolate pastry and asiago bagel (yum). read more

The food wasn't bad. The trash cans were over flowing. Trash was everywhere. And my chicken Alfredo tortellini didn't even have chicken in it. read more

This steak arugula was more arugula than steak and they gave me a baguette with a bite out of it. However in the end it didn't matter that the food at this Panera was shit because I threw it all up an hour later read more

I overheard a male manager and female employee making very rude and racist remarks about chinese culture. This sort of behavior is ignorant and unacceptable in any situation. I found it to be extremely offensive and refuse to visit this location ever again. read more

I'm not a fan of the Panera in Oakland. Often when I have been there the salads have no dressing on them or are missing a vital piece. Last time I went I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a bagel and they pressed it on a panini press making it flat as a pancake and burnt. Very unappealing. read more

This is the worst Panera I've ever been to. The service is slow, and they have never once gotten my order correct. I always have to go back up and tell them it's wrong or they forgot to put something on. Horrible service. read more

Pretty good they catered to our swim team did a pretty good job didn't mess up any of the orders. The food tastes the same as the others so nothing special there read more

Being gluten-free, I wouldn't expect to have many options at a place called Panera Bread. However, Panera's new grain bowls and their triple chocolate cookie with walnuts don't have any gluten-containing ingredients. Considering many places don't offer any kind of gluten-free baked goods, I think Panera's gluten-free options are excellent. Their electronic kiosks also make allergen information easily accessible when ordering, and they make removing and subbing ingredients easy. They are definitely one of the easiest places to order from if you have any kind of food allergies or intolerance. The service at this Panera is way faster than the one in my hometown, and the employees are always friendly. I would definitely recommend eating there if you need a break from Pitt's dining hall, or are just looking for a casual place to eat. read more

Truly the worst Panera Bread you will ever visit. The only thing that is good here are the bagels and baked goods (which I'm pretty sure are the same at every Panera). I have had salads here that every single leaf of lettuce inside was dead/wilted/rotten, One time I was actually given a sandwich that had a hole in the bread....an actual hole as if someone took the middle of the bread out. Bizarre! The only reason this place is still in business is because they have a nice seating area and it is one of the only restaurants available on Pitt's campus. This location also has mice..... read more

This is probably the worst Panera I have ever been to. My bagel arrived in three separate chunks, not nicely cut. I had asked for a cream cheese bagel and the bagel came without cream cheese spread on and instead little packets of cream cheese that were hard. I will never come back to this Panera. I highly recommend finding a different cafe. read more

I generally like idea of Panera. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. It was promptly served piping hot. I would be willing to bet that it was cooked ahead and then zapped in the microwave. If somebody from Panera let's me know that they ARE NOT microwaving there stuff I will take this review down. What next--hot pockets? read more

I've waited a bit to write this review because for me this branch deserves a 3.5 star review; however, Yelp confines me to whole stars so I lean towards a 3. I've been here quite a few times for lunch and in between writing sessions in the library. It's always quite busy, particularly during semesters, and sometimes it's a bear to wait in line for a while. The quality of the food is always good, and the staff seem competent and friendly. I've been disappointed here a few times that the types of bagels I want are not available later in the afternoon. Sometimes, there are only a couple of types of bagels left as early as 3pm. I wish they had a variety of bagels available throughout the entire day rather than "while supplies last." Overall, though, I enjoy this place and will continue to frequent. Their black bean soup is amazing. read more

I park outside on the street of Panera so I could run in and grab a bite to eat. Well, I didn't have quarters, and when I asked the girl at the counter if I could exchange my dollar for 4 quarters so I could feed the meter while I ate, she looked at me like I was crazy and said "I can't give you change." ..... How the hell am I supposed to park and eat if I do not have change and you are unwilling to exchange a dollar for me. I know it might be company policy to not open the register, but do not roll your eyes at me and get an attitude. Gracias para nada. read more

Soup in the breadbowl comes with an apple. Don't know it's usual or it is holiday special. I like soup and bread so this dish is definitely for me and panera does a good job. BTW, I tried mix vegs and chicken noodle. I prefer the latter one since it is less salty. read more

Just stood 2nd in line for 15-20 mins while the cashier prepared a huge order. Everyone including the manager just walked past as the line got longer. Not once did the girl call for help. This is not the first time it took close to 25 mins for me to get my food. That's my whole lunch break. Sure I can order ahead but then they place my food outside the counter where people's can just pick it up. I'll go to the one on the Blvd of the allies from now on. read more

They gave me the wrong soup. My wife's order was wrong quinoa bowl. They also had 2:30 minute old coffee. Had to wait for a new brew.

I usually hate reviewing national-scale chain restaurants, but this one is special. Not because it is actually special but because I've probably eaten lunch here over 300 times over 4.5 years. The food is OK, the service is OK, the people are OK. It's ridiculously crowded on a weekday lunch. It's pretty empty at all other times. It's convenient enough and passable. Still, I remember it fondly. read more

We stopped in here a couple times while we were in town to get some work done, grab a snack, and have a coffee or smoothie. Both the mango and berry low fat smoothies were fantastic and the coffee was good as well. Great scones too (we liked the blue berry and the orange best). The place has free wifi and tons of seating, so I can see why it was packed with students. The facilities could have been a bit cleaner (both the tables and restrooms needed a good clean) so I will take off one star for that, but I get that its tough with so many students in and out. read more

I Usually love Panera but this location just doesn't listen. Went there this morning and my eggwhite, avocado, and Swiss on sesame bagel came out as eggwhite, tomato, spinach on sesame toast. I repeated it to her 3 times... read more

Love the cinnamon crunch bagel especially as a breakfast sandwich. The atmosphere is great with free wifi with lots of available seating. Service is speedy. read more

Internet is extremely slow , I tested the speed it was 80kbps just a bit faster than a modem

great for students. They have amazing cinnamon bagels. ( I really can't emphasize enough how good they are). The staff is really friendly as well. Be warned though, several of there sandwiches have some sort of sauce that is rather hot. Ask ahead if you aren't a fan of horseradish. read more

First of all, I am a Panera Bread LOVER! However, this location was different. Our breakfast sandwiches (egg / turkey sausage) were unedibile. After the first bite there was a strong after taste. The only food up to par was the fresh fruit cup. Ususally the staff are very nice and friendly at other locations, not the case here. read more

I've ordered catering from here several times for my company, and I was not too happy with my experience. For catering orders, you choose a 15 minute delivery window and they delivered 30 minutes after the end of the time frame. If it was just lunch for myself it would not have been an issue, but it was catering for a large event at my company, and it was a big issue that the food was late. read more

Great place and fresh food! Especially if you want a light lunch like soup and maybe a sandwich. Otherwise definitely try out the mac and cheese! read more

Panera should treat its employees better. Perhaps, they would then care more about what their performance? Perhaps then I would not have to stress multiple times that the garlic bagels should be separated from the cinnamon crunch bagels? Perhaps, then I would also not have to argue with employees that the Baker's Dozen is 13 bagels and not 12? And, perhaps, I would not get 10 bagels when I paid $10.99 for the Baker's Dozen. The amount of mistakes employees make is just breath-taking. Given that bagels in Panera are the most expensive in town... improving the quality of the service might not be a bad idea. read more

Very tasty hot and cold foods that are always prepared correctly. It can get a bit busy around lunch time but the staff is always working quickly to get the orders out as fast as possible. Some of the food is a bit expensive, but they do have a rewards card program that helps you get the occasional free treat. There is lots of seating here and I've never found it to be too loud. I like the chipotle chicken sandwich the best. read more

Good atmosphere. Hate their chicken noodle soup though.

The staff here was very friendly and the sandwich was alright. Portion sizes were pretty small though for the price and the apple they gave me seemed like it was chewed up by a dog (no joke. There were brown teeth/gnawing marks on one side of the apple). If it wasn't for the apple, I probably would've given three stars. read more
