The quality of food has gone down here. My breakfast sandwich this morning was missing an ingredient and had unmelted cheese. Also, there was no hazelnut coffee at 7:45 am. read more

Ordered online to go, picked chips as my free side. No chips but empty cup instead, that is no mistake and obviously done on purpose. Oh well, I can take my money elsewhere. read more

To be honest, I haven't really had any bad experience coming to this location. I know some of the workers here so there's always that feeling of comfortability, like being at home, whenever I come here to study and/or do some work or just have some good food. I know that for sure because that is one of the pillars that Panera Bread has in their customer service. I know that because I used to work for Panera a couple years ago, but in one of the locations in California. I was working there part time because I am a medical student and a neurology researcher. I was also paying rent so I needed some extra money to use for that and for my everyday expenses. I learned a lot about customer service and about the food industry working for Panera. I was able to showcase my skills in helping others, as well as teamwork. For that fact, I earned the title as "Employee of the Month" for September 2016 and I also got a few great customer reviews, which in turn earned myself a few incentives from my bosses. You are probably wondering what the point of my story is. Well, the point that I am trying to get across here is that sometimes, the business alone is not the only thing responsible for a great visiting experience. In this case, the employees also make my personal visits very pleasant and enjoyable. They have never gotten my order wrong nor they have provided me with a bad customer service. One of my visits before, I only ordered a drink and one of the workers gave it to me for free. It was nice of her to do that but I also know that drinks have time limits and they have to be thrown out after an hour or two to make new batches; that would be a waste. In another visit, the "runner" offered to bus my plates and I politely turned down because I know it is one of their jobs to do that as I have done it myself, but I can put away my own dishes which is why I turned it down. Another time I was just sitting there doing some homework and one of the supervisors asked me if I was doing okay. The only reason I wouldn't give them a perfect score is because sometimes, the way they put my food together is a little messy. I have also made the food before and not to toot my own horn, but I was really good at it. In fact, I was good at every station I was put in whether it be cashier, running food, barista, back of the house, etc. I did it all and my manager was quite impressed. Hence, the recognitions I have received. The reputation of this location depends on the people they hire and their individual work ethics. I admire the work that they do at Panera and I respect even more the employees who are willing to overlook their roles in the workplace to work on just one common goal: to provide the best customer service and food to everyone that walks in there. Oh, more "Hi, Welcome to Panera!" would be nice too. Makes guests feel more welcome. With that said, I really do enjoy the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad - my ultimate favorite! I was bummed when they took it out of the menu but they also have other great options like the Frontega Chicken Panini or even just as simple as the chicken noodle soup (TIP: put some tabasco in there, it will change your life!). Prices may be a little high but they promised that they use fresh ingredients with no artificial color, ingredients or preservatives. I can vouch for that because Panera is actually only one of two restaurants who do not use antibiotics on their chicken (FUN FACT). So whether you come in for some hot soup on a cold rainy day or some refreshing salad bowls on a hot summer day, I hope you keep in mind that you are putting healthy things in your body. Oh, and don't forget their breads and pastries too! The french baguette... TO DIE FOR! Take it from an ex-employee (of the month). Salut. read more

I decided to go to Panera for my getting out of the house to somewhere with internet needs today. I am a member of their little plastic key card club but I haven't visited in several years. I remember being completely enamoured of their breakfast soufflés but it is a bit late in the day for that. I got a Dr Pepper because I am a heathen and their Mac and cheese because I am vegetarian and love cheese. The bread that came with my large order was warm and nicely crusty and the main meal is deliciously cheesy with little shell pasta. Free refills on the drink. Lose a point because for a place that prides itself as a place to spend an afternoon working at, they have very few plugs. read more

I had the pick two Napa almond sandwich w/ a chicken Caesar salad and chips. They're quick, delicious and consistent. Can't go wrong

Went to Panera at 10am this Friday for a Asiago bagel... it's hard to believe they are basically all out of bagels. I always thought of Panera as a bread store. Oh well, maybe next time read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Renton, Washington

I think Panera Bread at the Landing in Renton rocks. The food is almost always good and quick and the staff is friendly. The hot foods are hot and what is supposed to be cold is cold and fresh. Probably the only thing I have received that wasn't quite up to par was the cobb salad. Cobb salads at other restaurants have a lot of extra stuff other than the lettuce and this has very little. The other salads, soups and sandwiches I've had were excellent. There loyalty card is well worth it if you eat there frequently. I usually get a free drink, pastry or something else about every 5-6 weeks. They also hand out free samples of smoothies, brownies, etc from time to time. I eat there at least once a week. read more

I love going to Panera Bread i love the food. However a staff messed up my order and when I told her she immediately gave me attitude. She has a long blond hair. Not being professional at all read more

My daughter and I have visited Panera repeatedly. And I keep hoping they will correct their mistakes. I personally have always had my orders turn out well. When it comes to my daughter who due to allergies can not have cheese. She always orders the bbq chicken flatbread without cheese. Yet consistently every time it comes out with cheese, or with cheese and no spinach. It started getting really annoying, we are quite specific. We will not be revisiting Panera. I am tired of bringing her order back and waiting for them to fix it, I am so over it. It is not that hard to take down dictation of an order, yet, they seem to mess it up every time. read more

Just from the commercials, I always expect fresh, clean food from Panera Bread. Food aside, the couple times I've come here, the service is dreadful. Managers yelling at staff and cashiers who don't fully listen to your order. I came in around 7:30PM for a cold drink and to get my free pastry through Panera Member rewards. The process to relay my order and receive it was unnecessarily challenging, to say the least. Thankfully, when I finally received both items, the food was refreshing and flavorful per usual. I sat down with the local newspaper and finished the sudoku of the week. read more

How in the world have they gotten away with selling a "half" sandwich for so long. It is ONLY A QUARTER sandwich. Liars. Should be illegal to falsely sell product like this. Scumbags. read more

Ayman is an absolute delight!! He should be given a raise, because he is what makes panera such a great place. This location is always speedy, efficient, friendly, and high quality. Much better than the one in issaquah! read more

Food- good and got most of my order right (salad and bag of chips was apparently too complex). Customer service- needs some work. Crew too busy chatting to smile, make eye contact or care if order was accurate. One young man was diligent and helpful and I appreciated that. Atmosphere- not great for to-go orders. choice of standing by trash or sitting by bathrooms. Yum. read more

My wife and I stopped in before a movie (at 8:20pm) to get a quick bite to eat. While ordering the girl at the register said "just so you're aware we close at 9". First of all this is rude and very unprofessional. You work at a restaurant. This is a place of leisure for customers. In now way should you rush me or anyone else, we pay your paycheck. Second of all, as a veteran of the industry I know that if someone is going to eat at your establishment they can take a few minutes past close to finish. Third thing, it's 40 minutes until you close, calm down. I'm sure the people at you're corporate office would hate to hear you are trying to curb business because you are lazy and not dedicated. If you want to leave at the exact time of closing you are in the wrong industry. Then we get our food and it is not even what we ordered. I am so disappointed in this place. What a bunch of lazy careless rude people. read more

Went to Panera bread for lunch and I had to leave because the service was TERRIBLE. It was like the scene in "Zootopia" where they were at the DMV and they were being helped by a Sloth. I had to go back to work empty handed and no lunch. read more

After looking at the advertised bowl on the website, I have to change my review to "deceptive advertising." What I received was not 1/10th what was shown on website picture, but it was what I expected. Ordered the vegan lentil quinoa bowl with broth. But it was 95% broth with a touch of lentils and quinoa and some kale. The term "bowl" implies something of substance and not just broth. The broth was fine but certainly not worth​ $10. And just a medium sized bowl at that. Very disappointing compared to previous experience at this location and other Paneras. And typically someone will walk around to ask "how is everything?" Not this time, maybe they already knew and didn't want to hear the answer. read more

I ordered a Frontega chicken panini sandwich to go today. As I drove away, I took a bite of my sandwich and for some reason I checked the chicken just before I took my next bite. I noticed a different color and thought it was the sauce that made it that color. Then I pulled off that chicken and I put my fingers in it to notice it was cold and raw. Had to return and get my money back. No appetite for them to re make a new one. I could have seriously gotten sick. I'm quite dissapointed. Case of the third pink chicken. read more

Disappointed today. Soup was cold, usually it's SO hot, you have to blow, blow, blow! Hehe! Which I don't mind! Lol! Ok, in all seriousness, today I am very let down and probably won't return. At least to this location. Continuing on to my meal, half soup, half salad, the salad, although yummy, was scarcely thrown together. I've gotten the same thing before, and I got confused and thought I ordered a full salad because it was so large! Today, they haphazardly through brownish chunks of avocado, and half an uncut boiled egg. The lemonade was not sweet at all, and I don't even like overly sweet drinks, but this was lacking lemon flavor. I was reallllly looking forward to my meal today as im usually satisfied, but today was a huge let down... Lastly, every single table was so dirty, the seats, floors, everything was dirty. They also served my salad without a fork. And their wifi connection sucks! I also noticed, that they have hired a lot of special needs people to work here as well. A friend of mine at at the other Panera location in Kent, and witnessed another special needs person barfing the longest barfing session known to man! Needless to say, she was done eating... for the day. read more

I ordered a sugar free Carmel latte 20 oz breve The kid at the register didn't know how to ring it up. I was in a rush to get back to work a young woman went to go make it and she didn't know how to sew she asked someone else to do it he end up making one with regular sugar and it was a very small latte not the correct size and not breve. I ask him specifically if they had sugar free and they said yes and today the guy that made it told me know they do not have any sugar free. Late to work they offered me some pastries as if somebody who wants to have less sugar wants pastries. Dissorganized on all levels read more

Always been a fan of Panera. Love their pastries, good sandwiches, soup, etc. I like lunch here because I can get a bowl of of soup which comes with a nice roll. However management is cutting corners. When I recently visited this location I noticed that there was no butter at the condiment stand. The wait person informed us that you now have to request butter. Sorry Panera but if you want to be McDonalds you need to lower your prices. I also noticed that the place was dirty, all tables had crumbs, etc on them. read more

I love Panera Bread but I've only been to the one in tukwila and north gate mall. When I went the service was good but I realize that I went on a busy time, lunch time. I had my food to go. So I waited for about ten minutes and then I got my food, I looked inside and glanced and 'thought' everything was in there but was not sure since it was in a small bag. I order a sandwich, salad, soup, and grill cheese sandwich. So once I got to work, I realized my sandwich was missing! I didn't have time to go back and get it so I called and told them I forgot it. The lady I spoke to was nice and apologize and stated that I was going to get a $10 voucher in the mail for the next time I come in. It's been about two weeks and I still haven't receive anything! I mean I'm up the hill from Panera bread and it shouldn't take that long in the mail. My first time going and I didn't have a great experience! read more

I like Panera but they are not cheap. I got a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and an OJ here this morning and it was over $7. And it wasn't exactly a huge breakfast sandwich, although it was very good. read more

It's another Panera, just like other Paneras....however...The cashier was nice and helpful, but the older guy who delivered the food to our table was awful. He slammed the plates down and left without so much as an "enjoy your meal." By far the worst Panera employee I have ever encountered. Food was fine, but the ladies' restroom was filthy, lots of trash on the floor along with an overflowing trash can. Yuck. read more

This location is in the heart of The Landing in Renton. There is street parking or the lot behind the restaurant that can fill up just as quickly as the street parking during prime time. I appreciate that they offer online ordering and rapid pick up. Just place and pay online and then pick up your order at the counter. Your order will have your receipt taped to it with your name on it. Most people talk about how their prices are high. Lets be real. Panera Bread is pretty pricey for what you get, but you do consume much better meats and produce. To stretch my opinion, I do agree that the price could be adjusted a bit less, or at least make it a combo and come with a drink. Usually, the pick two option is an estimated $10. You get to choose from a half sandwich, a cup of soup, or a half salad. It also comes with your choice of chips, an apple, or bread. I've learned that when you dine in, you get more food rather than ordering to go. A gentleman by the name of Stew helped me out at the counter and helped me redeem a free birthday pastry that I had on my rewards. Don't forget to sign up for that if you haven't already. You receive freebies here and there or discounts. There is plenty of seating available inside, and limited patio seating outside when it's a nice day out. read more

Panera is a tasty place, I like their bread (obviously) but their sandwiches aren't the best. I usually stick with the salads, if I get a full size it serves as lunch for two days and it isn't completely overpriced. My favorite is the bbq chicken chopped salad and I'm also a tortilla soup fan as well. Its always clean here and they're super fast with their service. read more

This is the best location I have ever been to.. It's exactly what the landing needed and I come here quite a bit.. I have never had bad service and all the employees seem to work very well together as a team.. Refreshing! Anyway, their breakfast soufflés are my most favorite item they have to offer.. I really wish they would bake them all day long! For all the yelpers complaining about the prices, think of it this way.. It's so convenient, fast and somewhat healthy.. If you want something dirt cheap go through a McDonalds drive thru.. Panera hires quality people who actually seem to give a shit so go figure :P.. Im sure its probably the same whiners who refuse to have a Panera rewards card.. They hook you up with free food, drinks and money off your order! I don't know of anywhere else that does that.. Totally free and worth having! read more

In a shopping center full of big box retailers and fried food emporiums, Panera Bread is a nice oasis for the diet-conscious luncher. Unless, of course, you count the delicious-looking baked treats at the front counter that would tempt even the most diligent of calorie counters. (For the record, their chocolate chip cookie is freaking delicious.) I've only been to this location a couple of times, but each visit has been good. I'm a fan of their You Pick Two deal; their Black Bean Soup is low-cal but super filling, and their BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad is always good. I find that I have to specify that they make my salad easy on the dressing, otherwise it'll arrive drowning. So be forewarned if you're not huge on covering your greens in ranch. read more

A great healthy alternative to fast foods. Our take-out salad and sandwiches were really tasty. Thrilled that the kids' meals came with apples (you know...an actual apple, not some chunks with caramel sauce). Would put this at the top of my drive-through/take-out fast food list. read more

There's a variety of different hot and cold meals that you can get from this place. They bake all of their breads and pastries in store which I think is pretty cool as well. My favorite thing to get here is the cheddar broccoli soup the Asian salad or even the tomato mozzarella Panini. It can get a little pricey but it's worth it! Update 4/19/2017 I came in to order my usual "pick 2" meal and bagels for the week. One particular part of the transaction I wish would have went differently was that when the order was complete if the cashier would verify the order instead of walking away and then tell the manager "I don't know why she's still standing there?" As if I cannot hear her 10 feet away from me. All I wanted was the cup for the fountain that I paid for. It's very simple Rosa. read more

Always the friendliest service here! Food is consistent and fast! This is my favorite Panera bread, mostly because of the attentiveness. A staff member will always, without fail, be floating around the lobby chatting with guests. Awesome. read more

For a quick lunch this place is adequate, however nothing stands how. It is good for what is albeit somewhat overpriced. One positive mention is that they make the own bread stands out from the rest of the sandwich shop. Come here for a decent lunch, nothing spectacular. read more

Grilled sandwich was cold. Tortellini's we're over microwaved and hard like plastic. When we brought it to the food runner's attention he told there was a microwave under the coffee station. read more

Best Panera Bread in Seattle. Freshest baked goods and best customer service from the front cashier to the kitchen. Always get treated the best here. Great work guys. read more

Overpriced. Service sucks. And not really clean either... Do not bother. Many better places elsewhere. Old and under-stocked coffee fountain. read more

Here for a work related lunch. Super busy place but we found table that we later shared with another group. Cramped quarters. Tomato bisque was nice. read more

Stood in line for over five minutes with no one I front of me. Ryan the order person was hugging the girls that came in then stood behind the register talking to his co-workers. Thankful that Monica saw me from the pastry side and jumped in to help me. Wonder why your not busy at 12:30! Thank you Monica read more

Panera, please look at your security footage at rapid pick up from today at 4pm to witness the incredibly rude interaction I had with one of your employees. I'm also assuming she prepared my order because it's haphazardly put together. I tried several times to post this onto your website but gave up after attempts failing. I've experienced rude service from your staff in the past but this is the first time the food was below your standards. read more

Reliable. Don't waste your time pre-ordering. Great for meetings - beats Sbux and free refills.

Always clean dining area and restrooms and the customer service is exceptional. Definitely a go to spot for breakfast lunch or dinner

Outstanding service, even during busy weekday lunch hour. Everyone is excited to be working there, they are all really friendly and super helpful. I had a Thai Chop Salad, which was great, but a few too many edamame for my taste. Overall a great experience. Too bad I'm a low carb eater, otherwise I'm sure I would go here more often, but really don't want the temptation... read more
