I went here based on all the reviews- I will not go again. By far one of the worst sandwich places I've ever been to. The turkey was STILL frozen inside the panini- thats exactly what your looking for in a fresh and toasty sandwich, the cheese was greasy the bread was soggy and limp- I wish I could throw up and empty out my stomache. My fav chain sandwich place in Arizona is Wildflower Bread Company- its tasty and pretty reliable and the bread there would murder Panera's lame attempt. Paradise Bakery is also pretty damn good compared to this. read more

I like Panera Bread's iced coffee best ! Not cold brew coffee, just iced coffee. More than Starbucks or Dunkin Donut. Their iced coffee is clear and easy to drink. Other coffee shop's iced coffee or cold brew is bitter. read more

Just like many Panera breads. Great food great coffee and good value but this one does not yet have the kiosks!

My sausage, egg, and cheese on a ciabatta was good but not spectacular. The ciabatta was bigger than the rest so there were bites of just bread and not much else. That said, this was the only place open in the area on Easter Sunday, and streams of people came into the restaurant the hour or so my friend and I were there. read more

Panera is fabulous. Some 10+ years after first trying it, their chicken noodle soup remains one of the best I've ever had -- When it's in the sourdough breadbowl, it's no contest. Recently, I began trying to branch out. The smoked turkey sandwich and fuji apple salad (with chicken) are great. Their coffees aren't bad, either. (My only issue with ordering sandwiches/salads at restaurants is that you can make them better and for 1/10 the cost on your own - if you have the time, of course.) If you're carb-conscious, run for the hills -- and leave all that delicious bread to me! read more

For almost 2 months prior to the bar exam, I studied at this particular Panera because it's location was directly halfway from my home & the home of my study partner. Because of that, I got to know some of the staff pretty well. The food here is pretty much the same you can receive at any other Panera. My favorite thing is the Spinach & Artichoke Baked Egg Souffle, but those are only served till around 1030am (damn). The rest of the food is standard Panera food. The biggest inconsistency is the service. One of the store managers & a shift manager, Marisa, are incredibly nice and friendly. They came to recognize our consistent presence so they made the effort to introduce themselves, ask how we were doing, and usually stopped by and encouraged us during our studying. Another manager has consistently treated me with an attitude that barely teeters on polite. She would speak to the tables around us then walk by us, would seek us out first when it came close to closing time, and during their text message promotion, flat out refused to honor the text message, claiming it was not what it said. (The text said a free baguette: first she said that it had ended, then that it was just another piece of bread with your soup, then that she did not have bread. Isn't Panera also supposed to be a bakery?) The Jekyl/Hyde service is the most frustrating thing here. Of course, you get some motivated teenagers and some apathetic teenagers working there, so that also accounts for that. The only other thing to note is that if you stay to eat, the heat only kicks in when the store gets to a certain temperature, so you get a cycle where the place is warm then becomes freezing, then warm again. I usually just made sure to carry a hoodie with me when I studied. This place can get really busy, especially around lunchtime. It also seems to be a popular spot for people to meet for job interviews. read more

Great location. It's become my regular stop. Shout out to Paula for always working hard and being a friendly face in the morning.

Be sure you carry your receipt around with you when you purchase at the kiosk so that when the manager asks the cashiers to accuse you of stealing something you can prove them wrong. Horrible experience read more

Rude employee mocked me through the drive thru speaker... didn't get her name because I was so confused.very disappointed in this location.

So, in general, I love Panera. I'm in sales and often find myself out in the middle of some suburban location in need of wifi and a delicious bite. Lo and behold my savior for the day, Panera. Why the 2 stars you may ask this self proclaimed Panera-manian... My cashier today was abominable. Yes, like the snowman. So I understand that certain marketing can be highly protected... I get that. What I do not get is why the cashier had to be Miss Snippity Snappity Pants when I took a quick pic of the yummy mango "shmoodie" poster. FYI, I was tweeting this pic to my friends because all weekend long we had this obnoxious craving for "shmoodies." There are polite ways to ask people to stop from obnoxious behavior... Little did I realize that taking a picture in a restaurant was classified as such. read more

This is only Panera I will go to! Food is always fresh and hot! Not to mention, the restaurant is clean! All of the workers here are so nice and always willing to modify anything on the menu. Had a taste for soup tonight and stopped by on the way home from errands and shopping and my chicken noodle bread bowl was great! The bread was incredibly fresh! Justin even threw in a box of their new apple desserts! Thank you for always being a quality fast food restaurant where I can count on a healthy meal. read more

Went here for a quick breakfast sandwich, got the steak and egg and also the avocado, egg white and spinach. One thin slice of avocado didn't cover even half the sandwich and the cheese on both covered about a quarter. Very skimpy/cheap with the ingredients! read more

Panera Bread - Cheese on the steak sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Great customer service. Completely spaced when I place a rapid pick up (sent it to the other location in Schaumburg on Golf Road.) They were so nice about the whole situation and fixed it so I didn't have to drive all the way to the other location. The manager as well found me to bring it to my table. Appreciate the great service! read more

I stopped in about 8 pm on a Saturday night thinking it was kinda late for fresh food. I ordered the Chicken Frontera panini and the squash soup to go. The dinner was delicious. The panini had fresh hot shredded chicken with melted mozzarella cheese red onion and fresh basil leaves. Omg. Very crunchy on outside but warm and melted on the inside. I would highly recommend. The squash soup had a sprinkling if toasted squash or pumpkin seeds. Not to sweet. Nice balance of savoury and naturally sweet with a hint of fresh ginger. Great dinner. Highly recommend. read more

One of the weaker Panera's you'll experience. Staff is fine and the food is okay. Their speed of operation is slow and they appear to be understaffed. read more

It is your typical Panera bread. They were very friendly as soon as I walked in. I have no complaints about this place.

I love panera and I usually always get their grilled cheese. This time I ordered one and there looked to be about half a slice of cheese on the bread, When I bit into it all I could taste was the bread, I went up to the counter and asked them about it and they said it's their new grilled cheese...I guess their new grilled cheese has barely any cheese. read more

I'll admit that I'm a Panera junkie while traveling for work. The ease, the consistency, knowing I'll get what I want quickly every time means I probably go to Panera on average 2-3 times a week on the road. This location was probably one of the worst I've been to, though. The service was slow and it wasn't even busy at the time. I was disappointed and would drive about a mile down on Golf Rd to go to the other Panera location if in the area in the future. read more

I like their warm panini's and their pastries. The staff isn't extremely friendly but not without manners either. Good for slightly healthier food on the go! Store is pretty clean and relatively easy to maneuver. read more

Very standard for panera chain although this location is always busy. They do have a larger selection than normal of pastries. This location could certainly use more employees. We stop here about once a week and it is always packed and takes anywhere from 7-10 minutes to get your food. read more

Food and service was fine, but this place is really shabby. Tables and chairs are badly worn. Floor is a filthy mess. I came at early dinner time, so there really is no excuse for that. Men's room needed some attention as well. I will find somewhere else when I have an hour to kill in Shaumburg. read more

Very poor service at Panera Bread located at 1140 Plaza Drive Schaumburg, IL 60173 (By Meacham & Golf, Close to Woodfield Mall)! On 6/13/19 at approx 5:00 pm I went to Panera Bread on Meacham Road by Woodfield Mall to order the Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa. I politely explained to the miserable looking woman that the last time I ordered the Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa (at this location) it was more like a salty soup than a salad. She rolled her eyes up and rudely said "Maam, I've never heard of that before". Then she exhaled loudly to show her frustration with my 'annoying comment'. I said "You are a very rude woman Just cancel my order". I left the restaurant and shortly after called to speak with a manager. The same rude woman answered the phone and told me she IS the manager. I told her I'll be contacting the Panera corporate office which I have. I've only been to this location twice and both times have been a bad experience! read more

Ordered curbside pickup for 1230. 4 cars were waiting. At 1245 Panera employee came out with an order. The order wasnt for any of the 4 cars. The employee approached my window not wearing a mask and I told her to "Stop". She came within 4 feet of my car. Panera needs to train their employees better about the virus. By the way my order was a salad and 4 bagels. Not a real hard order to fill. At 1250 left and went home without any food. Will not order again from Panera til the virus situation is over. read more

I was struggling with giving three or four stars, three stars if you are not in the mood, four stars if you're in the mood. I took my father there for the first time he fell in love with the various soups that they had, if you like to try and eat as healthy as possible this is a pretty good choice. But those bread are high in carbohydrates and calories along with the rich soups and sandwichs that they have, so just be mindful if you track your calories like I do. So overall it would be between three and four stars. read more

They never have ingredients so they typically don't have much selection. Not sure about you but going to a restaurant that doesn't have ingredients ... yeah don't be in restaurant business? read more

I went to this Panera on Sunday morning. There was a line waiting their turn for an order. Finally I came to the counter to order and was asked if I had a vaccination card. I said no. She told me that i can order a carry out but could not sit in the restaurant. So here I was people in front of me, behind me, pouring their coffee next to me as the coffee silos are right by the ordering line. We are all breathing into the same air and breathing in the same air. The tables are well separated where the level of inhaling is much less than the line. Anyways, I got my coffee and my asiago bagel. Since I couldn't eat and drink in the restaurant, I planned on driving home while munching on the bagel so I sat down briefly (wearing a mask) to butter the bagel. Low and behold no sooner had I sat down I had a teenage employee telling me I had to get out of the building. I tried to tell her I just want to butter my bagel and I will be out of here because I did not want to butter it while driving. She persisted. I did not want to get annoyed so I got up and left but then began to think what a coward the manager is who sent this teenager (I'm 78) out to scold me to get out of the Panera bread. I never had this experience at any restaurant since January 3 when this crazy mandate had to be executed. in my mind, the manager should be fired for treating a loyal customer like myself the way I was and the cowardice that the manager exhibited in sending this kid out to do her (manager's job). Panera Bread, you just lost a loyal customer! read more

It's the absolute worst when you are sick and staying in a hotel. I am so thankful that they were able to deliver some chicken noodle soup to me and it was perfectly hot!! Thank you :-) read more

Worst Panera Bread in the area. It has been almost 4 years that we are coming now and then here, everytime you have to ask hot water from employees. Because they do not use large hot water dispenser, you have to pour your hot water from coffee cremer bottle. And do not dare come here for bagel and cheese. They do not have any cream cheese. Instead of cream cheese they offer terrible peanut butter. If you want to go a Panera Bread, go to Elk Grove Village location. The manager over there friendlier and helpful than the one in Schaumburg. read more

This Panera is my favorite place when I visit Chicago and it's quite often because of one person: Margaret. She is delightful and very pleasant who makes me and my family feel very comfortable. Thank you Margaret for all your work and great customer service. read more

Always accurate order and food is tasty. The service is friendly. I only get the oatmeal so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. The Wi-Fi is quite good. read more

Now I remember why I used to love bagels so much. My love of bagels had waned in the past 10 years or so. I had always liked them, and in my 20's, had eaten them for breakfast on many occasions. However, since all you hear about in the dieting world is the evil of carbs, bagels became a no-no. Gradually I just stopped eating them until I almost forgot they existed. Oh, do they exist. They are back on my radar. And let me tell you why. A friend and I were doing a little shopping. We got an early start, and my friend decided she wanted to 'pop in' to the Panera 'real quick' and just see what bagels they had. She got a Cinnamon Crunch and insisted that I get one, too. I was trying to be good, and reminding myself that I do not eat bagels anymore due to their carb content. I finally relented when I got a whiff of her warm bagel loaded with cream cheese. How could I have said no? She insisted - and this is not a friend I can say no to. I had never tried bagels from here before. The salads, yes. The soup, the bread, yes and yes. I have had lunch at many a Panera on many occasions.It is one of my favorite places to have lunch, But never tried a single bagel until now. I understand why she has an addiction with the bagels here. More specifically the Cinnamon Crunch. Oh my word. It was pure bagel heaven. I had mine with the Maple Walnut cream cheese. My taste buds were singing - no, more like yodeling. I think I wolfed that thing down in two minutes. I was ready to rip my friend's out of her hand and finish hers, too. After all, it was her fault for introducing me to it. She created a monster. I guess it took this to finally write a review for Panera. Despite the hundreds of meals I have had there. This should tell you how much I liked that dang bagel. read more

I have been to many a Panera in my day, and this one fails to impress me. Yesterday was just the icing on the cake. My friend and I arrived there at 9:30 on a Sunday morning. Although it was early, we weren't really in a "breakfast" mood. They were pretty busy, but they were ready when we were. Their soup wasn't ready yet (no stars docked for that--it was only 9:30 am, and I would rather my soup at 6 pm NOT be the same batch around at 9 am, so props for that). So I got a 1/2 panini and 1/2 salad instead. My friend got a sandwich. We both added a drink and a treat for $.99. Our total was $21 and some change. Whew...pretty steep for JUST soups and sandwiches. But what really gets me is that my friend and I went and sat down (no pager given, but they did know my name). At every other Panera, they call out your name if they don't give a pager. My friend noticed that our food was taking a really long time, and happened to look over towards the counter. Yep, there was our food. Nobody said anything, and it was just sitting there getting cold.... So needless to say, the food wasn't all that great after sitting there abandoned for a while. I would come back to this location, if in the area, but I wouldn't go seeking it out! read more

I waited over 5 minutes just to order while the cashier talked with another customer about personal issues. If the cashier really wanted to have a conversation that long and ignore me and any other customers, she should have asked another employee to assist me. Ended up leaving without ordering because there was no end in sight for their conversation. I didn't get her name, so hopefully management can identify her by the date and time of my visit (1/2/18 - an older female emploee probably in her 60's). If you're in a hurry and want prompt and courteous service, don't come here!! read more

RE: Large order for our school district. Two Issues: 1)Ordered online- Chose types & quantity of bagels and asked specifically not to have 2 kinds- The order not only didn't give me enough of the kinds ordered but gave me 6 of kind I did not want. 2) I specifically noted online that this was a tax exempt order and yet when I picked up I was told that I needed to call it in and I was not able to use my tax exempt. Why wasn't I called to tell me this and why when given choices online as to what bagels we desired and yet did not receive? Awaiting to hear from company. read more

This is my favorite panera in the area! The staff is super nice, the managers are great and they really make sure you are happy with what you ordered. I am here probably 3x a week and rarely am disappointed with the food quality or service. read more

Always good. A treat for me as my wallet could not do this on a regular basis, but you do get good fresh food. Worth the extra.

Usually my turkey bacon bravo sandwich is a pretty safe selection, the one I ordered from here was straight up nasty and went in the trash. And seriously, what is up with Panera's and their dirty tables? You want people to bus their dishes fine, but obviously they aren't going to wipe down the tables so get with it! read more

Oh Panera, you're always the same. I like that you're starting to class it up with steak sandwiches. They were decent.

I went in on Friday to get my free bagel that I had coming from the myPanera rewards program. I got my favorite which is the French Toast bagel and reduced fat Raspberry Cream Cheese. Since my hubby and baby were waiting in the car I got him a Cherry Pastry. When my order was rung up It came to $3.70something, I was rather confused since the cherry pastry was in the low $2 range. Turns out the bagel is free but the cream cheese is not. Who does that? That's like giving someone a free salad but charging them for the dressing. Panera corporate peeps if you're reading this, stop being cheap. Since the people at this Panera obviously have no control over this policy I still gave my experience 4 stars. The bagel and pastry were both delicious and the service was pleasant and efficient. read more

When I think about Panera, as fleeting of a moment as it may be, the Italian sandwich overwhelms me, I salivate, and I adopt violent tendencies towards anyone standing in the way of me and euphoria. Honestly, I've not really had any bad Panera experiences. On *two* occasions, I've shown up with a girl when they were about to close, they accommodated for us, and they still hooked us up. Thank you! read more
