Arrived , ordered a the new Benny breakfast sandwich, gave the girl my name (not sure why, they never called it) Light Roast coffee empty. After awhile I look up and there's a sandwich, been sitting for a few. What I got was a smashed croissant with cold eggs and ham. Please Panera location, do better, serve hot, call the name out when ready and for gods sake keep coffee going, it was only 10:00am on a Saturday. No Light Roast coffee when I left either! As you can see, not busy, pretty empty! Oh and tile floor so sticky I was barely able to escape! read more

I am so tired of placing an online order at Panera's, paying for it online, and then driving multiple miles to pick the order up, And then after arriving at the store, They do not have the items that I requested. Panera have got to do better. I refuse to go there and shop with them again until they get their act together!!!! read more

Stopped for breakfast at 10:00. Out of soufflés, sweets are mostly empty, and the cashier never looked up or acknowledged us. She spoke looking down and was extremely unfriendly. We were the only ones in line. We ordered breakfast sandwich and coffee. Coffees and hot water were all cold. Asked for new ones and met with a big sigh. It took over 30 mins and though we were sitting nearby they never alerted us. When we asked about it the same girl yelled "it's there man". Rude rude rude . Not worthy a stop or ANY stars! read more

This is a nice snuggled in Panera bread. Typical Panera bread prices and food quality. Very quiet and I love the outdoor seating. My only thing was I came and ordered a Turkey sandwich and there was no turkey! Can you believe it turkey was all gone lol. read more

Placed a pickup order and was refused service by the drive through associates who were too lazy to hand me the food that I paid for. I had to come inside where I asked for the associates name and "Victoria" was given. Could be a fake name but just thought i'd share. Customer service is lacking. read more

It is located off of Laburnum right next to 7-Eleven. It is a busy parking lot with people flying through it coming from 7-Eleven & other places, so please be cautious. They have drive thru & online order/curbside pickup available. It's a pretty fast process if you're in a hurry. The staff inside have been friendly each time I've come here. I have no complaints about their service I recently ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup, chips, and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was different than other Panera's I've been to because it didn't have the course sugar on top. I really look forward to that extra texture on top. :) It was still delicious though. I definitely recommend this location. read more

Panera during the pandemic! Not all Panera's are alike! Wow!! This drive thru was super fast! We ordered a Greek salad with quinoa, and two "pick 2" meals, chicken soup and Mac n' cheese! We got it lickety split, faster than that golden arched chain! And healthy too!! The server on intercom was helpful with the menu. She was pleasant and courteous. We gave her our Panera Reward card for points toward our next purchase! (Bear claws, we're coming for you!) Our check was less than $30 for three people, so that's not a too much "bread" for the quality and quantity of the food here! If you don't feel like cooking with pots and pans, get over to Panera... good healthy eating, consistent grub!! read more

I give 2 stars because I was given two plastic knives but no Cream Cheese. How many orders does a company get to do it correctly? I ordered on Uber Eats. Asked to get the bagels sliced and toasted. No dice. I said let me try again. I went inside to try. I asked for 4 cinnamon raisin bagels, dude looks around not sure if I can really order them. Then I ask if I can get them sliced, more looking around. Like we are the only 2 people in that area of the store. Slicer is broken. I say ok. Get my bagels and roll. I call manager to ask how I get a bagel sliced at Panera? She says the slicer is not broken. I asked if it was like McDonald's broken ice cream machine. They just say its broken? Manager chuckled. I said I don't find it funny. I said I will give this restaurant one more try. Today I go through the drive thru. ALL of my bagels were sliced, but I got home, No cream cheese. BUT I did get two plastic knives for my already sliced bagels. I can't get an order correct trying 3 different ways. I am just one person. Panera isn't alone. Customer Service is a pipe dream these days. For as much as we pay for the food it shouldn't be this difficult. read more

my was food was cold and stale. the size of the grill cheese could fit in the palm of my hand. the frozen hot chocolate was pretty good though read more

I have been a Panera customer for years. My last visit was suboptimal, but I thought just a bad day. Returned to have a Cobb Salad with chewy bacon, tasteless chicken, and one additional slice of avacado ( for which I paid extra). The 1/2 tuna sandwich was fishy and somewhat paste like. The decision to go to cheaper products certainly has reduced the likelihood of Panera being on my go to list. Sad to see the such a trend. read more

Went to this Panera (White Oak Village on S. Laburnum) to use a gift card. Card would not work, no one at counter to assist. Went ahead & used my credit card to pay. Got the Spicy Steak on Asiago bagel. It was very good, but could have used twice the steak esp. considering the heat. Ordered three bagels - was given an everything one instead of sesame. read more

I was not too happy with my meal. Spouse got steak and cheddar sandwich. It had some form of pickled Onion on it. He pulled that off. I had the pick two. Onion soup and turkey BLT with avocado. My soup was too sweet. Sandwich was okay. The bacon was great but only one piece. Total bill was $25.50. Not worth the price. We do not plan to go back read more

while the food was very good the service lacked everything one could even believe. i understand the place closes at 9:00pm that said I've been in retail for over 30 years and I sure don't tell my customers as they come ill make your food but we close at 9! so in other words hurry up and eat and get out! yes you can lock the doors, but if you don't want to service anyone else then stop taking orders! oh that's right you can't! People were still waiting for their orders when we left at 8:45pm. no bueno! read more

Ordered through the Panera app for fast and easy pick-up within ~5 min at this location. Delicious iced coffee - both an iced caramel latte and a chocolate latte. Yum! As well, one ordered an iced chai tea and they enjoyed the spiciness but found it a touch too sweet. read more

Visited this location over the weekend for a meeting. It was clean and fully staffed. All of the employees were nice and greeted the guests as they came in. My food was prepared quickly and served hot. The table were blocked to encourage social distancing as well. read more

Food and service was great, but for as costly as the food is, it seems they could do a better job at keeping the outside seating area cleaner. The patio was dirty. read more

I visited the store this past week to get my usual salad, Fuji apple with chicken. Drive through was quick but no Chicken on either salad. I paid $10 plus per salad which means I paid $20 for just vegetables. What happened to quality control?!Take tour time and stop rushing. Phooey. This is the Panera at WHITE OAK VILLAGE on Laburnum. If there was no chicken available, you need to let the Customer know and let them decide. read more

The food was good but the service sucked. They shorted me on my change and he appeared to try to ignore me when I called him on it. I know it's just $1 but still.. Then, they ignored the special instructions on my order and I ended up with cheese and onion on the part of the order for someone with food sensitivity. read more

Bad experience all around. The employees had bad attitudes and scowls on their faces. I finally received my latte after I had eaten all my food only for the first sip to have something solid in it, so disgusting. I threw the drink in the trash and left. I would never eat here, it's run down and the employees are annoyed that you are there. I'm still nauseous from whatever solid substance I spit out after taking a sip of my latte read more

Wow! I Never write any reviews but I am amazed I went to Panera in white oak and the manager comes out and gives me a dessert and tells me to keep the hard work. I often come here to study because it is a quiet, stress free environment. I am amazed at the generosity and the care they have for their customer! Thank you so much to Panera in white oak and to the managers( I believe his name was Michael in an orange shirt and another manager was on staff in a blue shirt greeted me very kindly) nonetheless us college students are stressed around finals and this kindred act really enlightened my spirit. He even went out of the way to bring me a drink, I am forever grateful for kind people who make the world go round. read more

Love their healthy menu! This place is great when your trying to maintain a healthy diet. I chose the 1/2 bravo bacon sandwich and the black bean soup... Just enough to fill me without feeling too full. Another great appeal to this place is you can sit there for hours and chat with a friend and not take up a table like in a larger restaurant setting. Great spot! Great service! Great food! read more

This is the slowest Panera Bread that I've ever been to. I really don't understand why the purpose of it being a fast food restaurant is for it to be fast. read more

I can in today and was taken aback as to how my order was not what I asked for all the way down to the soup. I come here a lot but this was a first. The tomato soup was and I received my salad with bacon on it after asking and then it being repeated with no bacon. And of course, I didn't check it until I got home. I was very disappointed. read more

Crowded, slow and expensive. Tables not wiped upon diner's departure. Must have been a busy day with no help. (Cashier was new, friendly and polite but not able to answer questions. ). Still waiting for food! Ugh!! Two fairly simple lunches, tab was over $25 with only one beverage.. Still waiting for food! read more

Great sandwiches bad service, arrived at this location at 930 am. Choose from a variety of sandwiches. The problem was the service it took approximately 35 minutes for two basic sandwiches and after they were bagged they for got a sandwich and the wait was on again. Enough was enough, I won't visit again until fellow Yelpers give a positive update. read more

What's the deal with Panera lately? When you use the kiosk to order, they invariably won't have something you order on hand and offer a substitute. Tonight it was flat bread. This has happened at 3 different stores in 3 states. How about fixing your inventory system to reflect what you have on hand and update it in real time? Technology exists to do things like that. Had I not already paid, I'd have gotten my money back and went somewhere else. Done with this used to be a good chain who can't get it together. read more

First time to visit Richmond and my first meal was here, I thought here is safe choice. But the service was horrible and impatient. They tended to trick me to pick up wrong food, and laugh at it. They are definitely not welcome outsiders. read more

This Panera is amazing! I have only used their drive thru services but they are amazing! No matter when I go this Panera seems to always be busy but they are very good at taking orders and keeping the line moving! The menu can be a bit overwhelming but the Pick 2 (half salad, half Sandwhich) is a great starting point and the portions are very large, you will be full! The people who work there are always friendly and any mistakes they may make they are very quick to correct! read more

Once again here, and once again they deliver. I just wanted to make a note that Vance, one of the associates here, is great. He's the one here that helps me the most, and he always has a smile on his face and is super polite! read more

Every single time I come to this Panera, the same employee lingers around me and makes sexually forward remarks. On three separate occasions, he has followed me to my car. I have spoken to managers yet everytime I want to pick up lunch I am harassed. I just want my salad???? read more

I live near this location and don't always find it convenient to frequent. However, against my better judgement and after their failed attempts to get my orders right in the past, I decided to pick up a couple of grain bowls and bagels. If you can get the grain bowl, they're fabulous when prepared correctly, of which, I had my first one in Charlotte, NC. Unfortunately, this was not my experience on 12/18. I've ordered the same menu items the last 5 times at this location and they've gotten it right only once, which was two Mediterranean grain bowls with chicken, no feta cheese on one and extra hummus. My order totaled $38 with the addition of 6 bagels sliced and no cream cheese for a grand total of $38. Bagels were fine. The grain bowls, not so much! The first time I was given the bowls, they added feta cheese. Sent that back thru the drive-thru window. They fixed it over and then I realized, after getting home, there was no arugula in either grain bowl, no chicken in one of them and the rice tasted like it was leftover from the day before and wasn't reheated properly. Also, the receipt didn't show who 'spot-checked' my order, which tells me if it was done incorrectly twice, NOBODY followed Panera's policy TWICE!!! Not good Panera! The cost of the food is too high for us to get home and not have what we ordered. I encourage folks to test their policy for spot-checking and add your review. I just want to know if I should move my business to CAVA, which is where I am going today! read more

Just stopped at this Panera and ordered food. Then went to the bathroom and an employee had just walked in before me with no mask, in a small enclosed bathroom that was dirty. I went to look for a manager, only to find out that SHE IS THe MANAGER!! What a piece of crap role model. She was unapologetic & tried to lie and say she went in to "blow her nose". Yea right, for 12 minutes?? I received my order before she came out of the bathroom. My husband said the men's room was disgusting, especially the toilet. There are lots of other places to eat in the area, do yourself a favor & go elsewhere. As a physician, I was horrified. Going to call the corporate office. So disappointed. read more

My sandwich was burnt and difficult to eat. None of the to go bags were labeled, so I had to search through them to find my order. The lemonade tasted like water today, it had no flavor at all. Just realized after eating one half of the sandwich, that the other half had no meat on it at all. Definitely not worth almost $14, very disappointed. read more
