My friends and I all really Panera and I feel like over all the food is always super solid it's a nice place to get lunch after shopping around at target and the other surrounding stores , the staff are always super nice and I've never had a bad experience, it's usually pretty quiet and there's a few people sitting around but never super crowded so it's nice , I'd recommend! read more

What kind of soup is this? It's supposed to be the summer corn chowder soup. It arrived looking like pasty mush. So very disappointing for a $13 bowl of soup. read more

I'm a big Panera fan, and this location doesn't disappoint. It's easy to get to with plenty of parking, usually busy but clean with lots of seating. The staff is attentive and quick, and service is well organized even when it's crowded. Bathrooms and selfserve areas are also kept clean. Great spot for a fast, reliable lunch-love the soups, sandwiches, and "You Pick Two" options. read more

We've gone to half a dozen Paneras since coming to Portland. They're pretty much the same. Disappointing. The menu has shrunk, the prices have soared. Service has shrunk -- they have kiosks for ordering, so you don't have to deal with a human -- and they don't have to deal with you. And they no longer bring your order to the table. Reminds me of a highschool cafeteria. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Panera is by far my favourite restaurant ever. employees are friendly and food is reliable and delish!!!

We love the Sip Club! We've been to dozens of Panera locations in four different states so far. The staff here were friendly and helpful. The coffee was delicious as always. The patio needed and dining room needed to be cleaned a bit. read more

I am a Panera fanatic. I love Panera. The End. Okay -- not at all the end. This location is fairly easily accessible from the highway and typically has enough parking as it is in a strip mall type area. It is often busy but there is plenty of seating and they keep the location clean. The bathrooms and self service area are always clean and well maintained. The service at the counter is attentive and focused on guests. I have never had a problem here. The pastry case is right next to the register obviously -- but it is full during the day and then obviously they sell down throughout the day. When there are too many guests they call another cashier up so I am always grateful. This is the closest location from my work -- so I love to go here for lunch and they get it right and quick. I love the toasted baguettes. I love the green tea. I adore the Broccoli Cheddar soup. I love the sandwiches. I love the chicken bacon ranch flatbread. Definitely give it a try.. do a You Pick Two. It isn't cheap anymore truly -- prices are insane because of inflation but at least I am not eating a bunch of additives and the food is YUMMY! read more

My salad was dry had to ask for dressing. No service yet they expect a tip. What happened to this chain? It's really gone down hill.

Just a quick lunch break here. Based on their seasonal Asian crunch salad I made my own creation - and here is my tip: Whenever a restaurant has an app I'll always use that to order since it gives you all the options. At Panera it's never cheap but you get your salad or sandwich the way you want it. And as a side of my "you take two" I'll had the seasonal Mexican street corn soup. Ends with a bear claw and we have a happy helper. read more

I temper my expectations when ordering from Panera and even then I often find myself disappointed. Ordered a turkey, avocado, bacon sandwich and it was blah. A couple pieces of avocado wrapped up with cold, flavorless stuff. On a positive note, the soup was good and was enough for a lunch's. I enjoy the small piece of bread for dipping. read more

Closest Panera near the airport when I yelp'd it. Go to location for my morning coffee. Super clean establishment.

2nd time we have food to go, or ate there, during the pandemic! We ordered by phone, we were parked right there in front of the restaurant, talking to them. (OT: A SUV / car crashed, behind us, both backing up at the same time, no one was hurt). We ordered: Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich, it came with chips, so don't order by phone, and a pickle. Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, also with chips & a pickle. Broccoli Cheddar Soup. It wasn't long, before the clerk came out to give us our order. Yes, it was fast! Yes, my husband looked inside the bag, and NO he didn't take everything out, HE TRUSTED PANERA, then we drove away to have a picnic @ the marina. Once we got there, we realized, they forgot to put my husband's sandwich in the bag! I called right away, to let them know. Luckily, it's on the way BACK HOME, to our home! The mail clerk, apologized, he said there's a goodie inside the bag. Thank you! That will be for our dinner. Let's see, I'm not a YELP ELITE member for nothing I'd give you a 4-5 stars, next time? If the food wasn't so good . . .you just need to improve the CS part, OK? read more

I enjoy the food at Panera, it tastes good and is filling. I will periodically return. Cons: 1. They have a tendency to be out of items to make the item you want, including breads. This is true no matter what time you get there. 2. Service and table cleanup can vary. Most above average. 3. The number of people working there varies even during rush hour. Even with the negatives, their menu is tasty and enjoyable. Overall the place has been clean and personnel courteous and helpful. My 3 rating is a result over low stock of groceries to complete the menu item as advertised at times. Still, I feel you should try Panera. read more

Poor Panera--their clumsy, inept service has earned them contempt from me, who rarely writes one star reviews, but this is well-earned: --I called a day ahead to order bagels and cream cheese--easy, right? Not so fast--the Panera rep took 3 minutes to tell me they were too busy to take my order but they would call me at 2 pm to take the order. --I called the Beaverton Panera instead--no answer, no messaging. It could be their website has the incorrect phone number --deciding against an unknown bakery near the next days meeting, I called this Panera again to place the order: the clerk handled it in 90 seconds. Or so I thought... --gentle reader, you can likely guess what happened on the morning of the pick up, so I won't bore you with details. Nothing was compensated--such as, "Sorry we blew this--enjoy the cream cheese on us!" Nope--the shift manager did mumble a "sorry we miscommunicated" as she handed me the overly packaged bagels. Alrighty then. Panera, we're breaking up. Keep your overly salted cafeteria food and your unfortunate service. read more

I think a lot of the reviews are more based on Covid and whatnot. Because I've eaten at this location and my wife has been a few times and there's been no complaints. The food is consistent just like any other Panera Bread, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean. I mean there's not really much else you can ask for. I tried the grilled mac and cheese sandwich which is a newer item and it was super good. Pair it with the tomato soup. I don't go to Panera Bread all the time but it's definitely a good place for a cheap lunch. Pro tip: If you have an Amex Platinum card, they have a free six months of the Unlimited Sip Club which is basically free coffee every day. So if you like Panera Bread coffee and tea and you have an Amex Platinum, it's a good deal. read more

Last two times that we have ordered from the Cedar Hills store, bagel was stale @ 7a.m; sourdough bread was hard as a rock when we tried to slice it at home. Lunch sandwich was mediocre at best with lettuce leaves that were past their prime and should have been sent to compost but were added to our sandwich. Service is equally awful. Why are they even in busines? read more

I frequently order their food for delivery and am always satisfied. It is always fresh, prepared as advertised and there have never been any mistakes with my order. read more

The croissants, bear claws, etc are very good. My husband likes the breakfast sandwich. The cashier, not so much. The first was a rather snarky woman who tried to take just my husband's order even though I spoke up. Apparently she didn't approve of my purple and red hair. She was a little young for the attitude, but oh, well. The cashier on the second day was much better. She just seemed a little impatient. The same grill cook was on both days and he was NOT friendly at all. We stopped here because it was close to our hotel and the food is good, but if we had more time, I think I'd go elsewhere. read more

Went today chicken noddle so salty talked to three people and they did not care. My mother could not even eat. We got up and left and they did nothing. Would have been nice to been offered refund or something else on menu but nothing at all. The gal said bye have a good day and walked away. read more

This is my first time ever trying Panera Bread. I decided to keep it simple and try their 8.99 special which is a chicken bbq sandwich and soup. It also came with an apple. It looks good but found the sandwich very basic and you can tell the chicken either get microwaved or it sits in one of those metal buffet pans, either way the chicken was all soggy and there was barely any cheese nor bb sauce on it. The apple was cute but super small, at least it was fresh. Now for the soup, that was the best part of my meal. The place was clean, & the customer service was friendly. What bothers me is the bathrooms are locked, seriously? This is a restaurant, and you already have a security gaurd to keep out the homeless. It's one thing when it's a shop but not a restaurant. I'm willing to try Panera bread again and aim for something bigger, as it wasn't terribly for what you paid for. read more

Panera Bread - $8.99 special - Salad Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm a gig food delivery person. I had a pickup yesterday, Nov. 7th at the Tomahawk Dr. location. it was lunch hour and the staff was just slammed with inside orders, folks like me and online orders. I am a long time customer service professional and I know when it's exceptional. Every single member of the cook staff were the hardest working group I've ever seen. Not only that but they kept smiling, putting up orders and speaking to every customer with apologies for the wait. Not one person waiting was angry or appeared upset. I think we were in awe of this young group of men and women working as one. Absolutely inspiring. I said loudly that they all deserved a huge raise and I heard murmurs of agreement. So cool! read more

So terrible, I couldn't eat my grilled cheese. It tasted like a left over they heated up in the microwave. The tomato soup tasted like ketchup and not soup. I've never had a bad meal here years ago but now it's gone down hill. Don't recommend. read more

Why did I pay $16 for cold Mac and cheese that's crusty? Why did my friend get the nastiest soggy off brand Kraft single grilled cheese? This place sucked. I am so sorry for the people who have to work here and pretend the food is good. I will never return. Baguette and soda fountain was good. read more

I like this location and was happy when they brought it to Jantzen Beach. I have a special order that I order every single time and not all employees know how to ring it up. I was charged over $6 but when I complained, the manager was able to find the mistake and fix it so it worked out. The restaurant is clean and it has WiFi! It is a good place for lunch with friends or a group. x . ..... . ... read more

My father was out on his electric wheelchair when he ran into an electrical problem. He called me and said he was stuck in front of Panera, I called them and asked if they could check on him till I could get there. When I got there, they had pushed his chair inside and had given him a big glass of ice water. I am so grateful for the kindness they showed my father, and myself. They allowed him to plug in his chair,and I was able to get him home in time for his 85th birthday cake. I tell my granddaughter that there are good people in the world, today I got to show her. Thanks again to the staff at Panera, Gidget read more

Panera Bread - This should say it all. This was Mac and cheese! Delicious! And the ten veggie soup was bomb! - Salad Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in for a late lunch with my girlfriend before heading to our hotel a mile or so away. I had a free birthday pastry on my rewards card so I snagged a cinnamon roll because it looked very appealing. Along with that, I ordered the BBQ Chicken Flatbread and the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread with an apple. Girlfriend got Mac n Cheese and a Grilled Cheese sandwich. Sadly, the cinnamon roll was a bit of a disappointment. It didn't taste that fresh, a sure sign it had been out a while. The inside was decent but about half of it lacked that brown sugar saturated cinnamon roll taste. My flatbreads weren't too bad, I really enjoyed the BBQ chicken one. But both of them were on the small side. And I understand that to make meals wholesome and healthy, you need to keep portions in control so you can't get a huge, over stuffed flatbread sandwich, but after eating my meal, I didn't feel full. The BBQ Chicken flatbread gets a 4.5/5 but the cinnamon roll and the other flatbread both get 3/5. My girlfriend absolutely LOVED the Mac n Cheese though! I took a bite of it and it was great; creamy level was through the roof! Panera is always a decent place to stop and eat, but I'd suggest either skipping the pastries or getting them earlier in the day so hopefully they would be fresher. Also if you haven't had it, the Mac n Cheese is definitely worth trying. read more

Today I came in for a online order I placed over online. Hour In advance. Came in, nicely asked when my order will be ready which it should of been. And the lady gave me attitude. She was the manager I believe. They were understaffed. Which I understand, but she didn't need to give me sassiness and attitude. Instead of staying "sorry we are trying hard and will try to get ur order out asap" instead she said no! Order will be out on 30-45 minutes late ??? And I asked can it be done faster ? She said no and turned around. And I left. So rude and not very kind. I don't recommissioned this place go to another location read more

Panera Bread - the front of a restaurant - Salad Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best stores in the area. Not many food options. Our luck we found Panera. A favorite franchise of ours. Unfortunately, the usual great food was a disappointment. (Simple meal to make) The location was filthy. We had to ask for clean utensils three times. Huge disappointment to walk into a familiar store and have to leave questioning the cleanliness of what is not seen that may have contributed to the disappointment. Attitude and pride in a job well done matters. I would rather hire two employees at top dollar that care, than hire five that don't. Is it a matter of pay? Or does the manager just not care and the employees have followed? read more

Absolutely ridiculous. Ordered a CHICKEN Cesar salad to go. Got all the way home to find out they did not put the CHICKEN in there. I wasn't about to drive all the way back for a piece of chicken. Called for a refund and was not able to get one because I was not a "member" and never will be because of this...was just hungry now I'm hangry... read more

Awful and disgusting. I came in with absolutely no one in front of me in line- the manager looked at me come in and then decided it was time to pull the drawer to close out that register. She yelled "be right back" over her shoulder and walked off. Five minutes later one of the employees working the cook counter came over and took my order. This was at 5pm on Sunday when they close at 9pm. Two out of six drink dispensers had "do not use" written on paper on them and taped to the dispenser- with liquid still in them. One of the six dispensers was empty and the green tea was not circulating. There were no lids for the medium drinks and the trash under the lids was overflowing- napkins were all over the floor. My food came out cold and sloppy. My son's mac and cheese was cold, and my French onion soup didn't have any croutons in it- it was also cold. The cheese didn't melt at all so you can tell it was applied when the soup was cold. Outside was filled with trash. Napkins, food, all kinds of stuff was strewn all over the patio. Despite my kid actually eating for once, I decided that the lack of basic cleanliness of this establishment and general lack of professional attitude from the staff lead me to believe that my risk of contracting food poisoning was too high- I didn't even want to see how bad the bathrooms were much less ask if employees are even washing their hands. Highly disappointing. This place needs a check in from the health department, I never would expect this from a Panera. If I didn't have my kid with me I'd speak with management or call in but I had a hungry and angry toddler to find food for. 0/10. Will not be back. read more

We're regulars here because we enjoy the quality of the food (when we can get it) and because it is a convenient place for me to meet my parents for breakfast every weekend. What all of us will agree is completely horrid is the customer service and the way they run the kitchen and keeping basic supplies on hand. We always arrive at 9:30 am which one would think would be breakfast time. Unfortunately, every single time we arrive they are out of the spinach and artichoke soufflé. This most recent time I even called ahead and requested that they please set aside two of these soufflés for us and they said they would. When we placed our order the incompetent cashier dropped one of them on the floor and informed us the other one was the wrong kind and would we like to order something else. No apology for fucking up, just a totally cavalier attitude about the whole mishap which just made me even more livid. So yeah, we ordered something else. Then we ordered our coffee which we wanted served in mugs and not paper cups. Again, just like every visit, the fucking mugs are being washed. How in the hell are you always out of mugs? Once it arrived, the food was quite good as usual but I swear, the aggravation these idiot people cause is just not worth it. 2017 - Review # 14 read more

Worst Panera bread I've ever been to. Staff was rude to me just asking about my order. I love this company but will not be back to this particular location. I ordered two of the same items and they usually are fast at every location I've been to in the greater Portland metro area. I don't like being treated very poorly when I'm trying to spend my hard earned money. I would avoid coming here if you read this unless you wanted to be treated like you don't exist. Also it seems the cashiers were more glued to there phones then appreciating there customers read more

It's 5:30 PM. Door locked. No hours posted on windows. What Panera closes at 5PM. I tried to order via the app and it said "unavailable" not that it was indeed closed. Thanks for wasting my time, I'll be sure to make this up to myself. read more

Two words - Rapid Pickup! You order online their app, then waltz in the door, pass the line like damn royalty and leave. Or just walk in like a normal person, that's fine too. Seriously though, I love this feature. In about 10 minutes I can just walk in and grab my food and leave. Everything - even payment - is done in the app. Most of the times it's done early if not smack dab on time and correct as well. Plus, you can customize your choices in ways I would not have thought of. I have eaten here too - always clean, organized and usually pretty quick. But there is something about Panera that causes people to stare at the menu like they've never seen such a thing before. As someone who orders pretty much the same thing every time, it's annoying. Thus the use of the pick up option. read more

I've been coming to Panera for a while granted it is not weekly or even monthly but I do love a half a sandwich and a bowl of soup. However I did not realize that a half a sandwich and a bowl of soup at the end of 2019 was going to cost me $15. Yes presentation is always fabulous yes the food is always good I do kind of wish the staff would smile more. Thank you again for a fabulous sandwich and a bowl of soup however I do not see the $15 read more

Tried to go to this location TWICE around 7:40pm. There are staff inside, but the door is locked. I try to call and they intentionally do not answer the phone. Seems like this is a regular occurrence. I've worked in the food industry before and if the door says open until 8, you have to stay open. I could understand if I were trying to come in at 7:58 but 20 minutes prior to close is more than enough time to throw some pre-made mac and cheese in a bowl. read more

Always like a fast and good Panera on the road. Pick two is my staple. Good choices and good taste.
