I have to agree with the other reviews that this Panera is not as good as many other locations. Their chicken noodle soup was lukewarm and not nearly as tasty as it usually it. Their tuna salad was okay - but again, really not on par with a lot of other Paneras that I have been to. read more

Green goddess is a great salad. Staff friendly (for Jersey!) good coffee, would return. I love the consistency of panera.

Love this Franchise. I had creamy tomato soup the bomb!

Good food, coffee, and free refills from soda fountain paired with free wifi and a very friendly and accommodating manager (Rafael?) - you can just can't beat it! THANKS! read more

Awesome lunch....the broth bowl is great...and surprisingly filling..best lunch i have had in a minute..the team at this location is on point... keep up the good work read more

They have great staff and customer service. The only downfall is that sometimes they serve cold soup :(

I like Panera Breads to avoid the grease of burgers and fries. This one was much needed for the area, but it gets too crowded at lunch time. They are all the same food/menu wise. Pretty big seating area and they also have outdoor seating. read more

Ate at this particular location for the first time, they bring the food out to your table, other than that.....it's pretty much the usual Panera. read more

Yass best Panera food I've eaten . Friendly , although I got an attitude for asking where's my food when I waited more then 15 minutes but usually friendly. Love that they're in the middle of shopping stores so when I'm tired of shopping and starving I can get a bite to eat. There are other restaurants but there food is so fresh. I like that I can check myself out at the kiosk now if I'm in a rush . They have have the best salads ! read more

This must be the worst Panera in the US. Clueless, rude employees and managers. Their rapid pickup system shows food ready to pickup, when you go and ask, they rudely ask why you are here as if you are going to steal their awful food. Tables are constantly dirty, and the store seems badly mismanaged. They were out of salad ingredients and had the same issue today with pick up. They pick on certain types people and act very rude as if they should not belong here. The manager with the tattoo on the left hand and the Hispanic woman at pick up kiosk have attitude. I will not remain a Panera customer like many south Asian in the community who felt the same way at this store. read more

Probably the worst Panera bread I've ever been to. Don't get me wrong the staff is friendly but I ordered a chicken avocado melt and when I received it there was barley anything there and it was burnt!!! So I went back to complain and they changed it. Now they filled up the sandwich but they forgot the avocado... ‍ they made it as if it was in a rush and looked like they just slapped on the cheese. read more

I'm come here on a regular basis and always pleased with the food I get. Sandwiches and salads are amazing fresh ingredients and good variety to choose from. For salads places in Secaucus this is definitely the best place to go read more

I used to be such a fan of Panera, but this location tends to make me shake my head. I have to stick to the Sierra turkey sandwich, because otherwise the sandwiches were just terrible. There was the time where I ordered a Tomato & Mozarella panini and received toasted panini with tomato sauce in it and one tiny slice of cheese that covered maybe 1/3 of the bread. Ridiculous. Or one with bacon and it had one half strip of bacon on it. Then I've decided to try their Southwestern flatbread and the whole thing was drenched in dressing. It was so gross. Front staff is very friendly, and they are fast, but what the heck is going on in the kitchen? read more

They gave me free stuff for absolutely no reason. Automatic 5 stars. This place also has some voodoo witch craft device that locates your table and they bring your meal out to you. Pretty damn cool. read more

Ordered two salads, two sides and a dessert online as a pickup order. Took the order home and they forgot one side, the dessert and salad dressing for both salads. They charged me for them all the same... read more

Panera is amazing, there isn't much to say! Everything I had was great, the only issue I had with it was it seemed really slow when there wasn't many people there. read more

This Panera bread sucked. I went with three other people. We all ordered food but yet only 3 of our meals came out. And yet with those three meals they managed to mess something up about every single one. One didn't have any bread. One didn't have any bread or even salad dressing. The other also didn't have salad dressing. And then the fourth person didn't even get food. They completely didn't "hear" her order so she got nothing. Went to ask and the manager said "I guess we could put it on the house". Then continued to completely forget about it. So they went back up and said it already went out. When it didn't. So they had to make her food after everyone else ate. Horrible service read more

Very disappointed to come on a Sunday afternoon and find NO more cream of broccoli soup! This is actually the 2nd time I go in with my family just to walk out and go next door to Bonefish instead. read more

Took over 30 minutes to get our food. People who ordered after us got their food. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to put soup in a bowl.

Always good . Great bread for a chain in Nj. We are use to high quality bread and they have it for the most part . Soups and sandwiches are good. It is a little pricey . The place has a nice peaceful feel to it . You never feel rushed . Nice place for a cup of coffee and a conversation . read more

What a shame....its a nice place but service is aweful!!! I rather spend my time and money in Starbucks a few blocks away from here.

this panera is brand new.. and the service is terrible. Its been open for 3 or 4 months and the staff still hasnt a good idea of whats on the menu and how to make things. the bathroom is always in terrible shape read more

Been to a few different locations but this one by far was not good. Tried here twice before I would review it and it was not pleasent. The table were dirty and this was not due to crowds since both times it was after 7pm that I stopped here. The soup was not heated that well & I tried their new grill cheeze and in the sandwich it had the plastic wrapper from the cheeze in the sandwich. THUMBS DOWN ON THIS PANERA read more

The food is good. But the reason for a poor score is the people working here. I love Panera but I have to say that, as a person in customer service, my experience was less than note worthy. I was rudely ignored as I ordered because the lady was texting after she asked what I would like. Also, I asked for just water for my drink and she handed me a small cup. I was expecting this but usually ask for a bigger glass and have never had a problem receiving one. The young lady taking my order sighed and visibly rolled her eyes. I had to ask her to repeat herself three times because she was talking too quietly for me to understand her. Overall, my lunch was delicious but the employees really ruined my experience. read more

Just ate breakfast here for the first time just wanted to say I didn't realize I got the wrong sandwich but the woman with blonde curly hair was so sweet that she got me a new one just wanted to write this because they are so kind and didn't even hesitate to fix it . The food is great and I had a great experience. read more

I could have a lot to say about Panera in hoboken, but the staff seems uninterested, the management does not smile and the food is sub-par at best.It is unfortunate that the Panera's in Secaucus and Edgewater are better if for nothing else because of the customer service and their commitment to bring the best to their customers, they are. read more

It's not a great panera, but it's not a terrible panera. It seems understaffed and the tables are not cleaned as often as they could be, but the food is fine and it's a reasonable place to just veg out and check the net. I kind of think of it as an alternative spot to the library with food and better hours. Not a big fan of the pastas, though the sandwiches are fine though a bit pricey. The Mediterranean veggie and sierra turkey are both pretty decent, though I often just go there just to grab some coffee and decompress. Unfortunately, there aren't many coffee shops in Secaucus. read more

It is actually one of the worst Paneras I have been to. But if you like Panera, it will do. Just don't go and peak hours, especially on the weekends. read more

Usually staff treats me as a customer extremely well but there is one staff member Hannah that tends to interrupt me when I'm trying to order. I had tried to tell her about a salad I saw in the menu but didn't know the name, she asked "The Strawberry Poppy Salad?" when if she just would've listened to me and not interrupted she would've known I would have no idea what it is called. After ordering that salad she was basically rushing my family & I to order and had to take out and put in different orders. She had a very nasty attitude, people should not work if they will act the way Hannah did. If we wouldn't have felt so rushed we would've ordered a big meal and left a great tip for the salad the way staff usually treats us. She had no manners at all also. read more

Love the tuna sandwich from here so perfect. Also the cheese danish so amazing. Staff is wonderful and place is really clean.

I hate going here . My 7 year old daughter likes going here . She only gets PB&J . While I am left to choose which bland tasteless food I want . Everything is mediocre . Only thing that is decent WAS the Big Kid Grilled Cheese . Which is not on the menu anymore . I wanted to try something new . So I ordered one of the pasta bowls . The pasta was so mushy it resembled Chef Boyardee and didn't taste much better . Another reason for the one star is the Fast Lane Checkout it is awful . I went in the line was 5 deep and one register open . So I tried the the Fast Lane checkout . What a mistake. It took two times as long . Check out Wawa or Quick Chek when you want to design ordering Khios read more

I love Panera but this location was a dissapointment. My boyfriend and I ordered breakfast from our table which we frequently do at our regular Panera at Edgewater. We have our favorites listed and saved so when we receive our order there wouldn't be any mistakes. When receiving our breakfast, I ordered a green smoothie, a bagel and a fruit cup. My bf ordered a pb&j, a sandwich and a hot chocolate. His sandwich had cheese even though his favorites listed no cheese. His hot chocolate was done in regular milk and with whip cream. It specifically noted on the sticker on the plate, "no whip cream". He had to return that order and was redone with almold milk. When we thought everything was okay. While driving back to our next destination, my shake had these plastic pieces in it. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PLACE! I will not be returning to this location. I haven't had my fruit cup yet, I will update if I find anything. read more

quality of staff decreased over time. was there at 1 PM today (Sept 1st), and the store manager had a cocky attitude. They have a pick-two special, I asked if a specific pick-two combination is 7.99, I was told that no, that's not the price, and I had to ask how much it is before the guy will give me the price. He seemed poorly trained and had incompatible attitude with my expectations from Panera. As a shareholder of this company, I think that it does not reflect well on Panera's brand. I will visit some other branches in the area to gauge if this issue is pervasive. read more

Does not meet the reputation of most other Panera locations. The food is not very warm. Workers have messed up orders on at least 4 different occasions. They need people who know how to follow directions. read more

I continually go to this location thinking that they will improve. Other Panera locations are fast and precise, not this one. They are slow, have no customer service and continually get orders wrong. They usually only have two cashiers and lines out the door - EVEN though there are several employees and managers walking aimlessly around the store. Today was the last straw for me. I go there for consistent food to go - not today! I ordered the Greek Salad (because I can have the dressing other dressings have allergens for me in them) I got back to my office with a undersized salad, with the wrong dressing and the wrong cheese. I have had it with them and I hope you chose not to go there. Actually I hope they chose to improve because there are only a few options in the area. read more

Once again my order at the Secaucus location was wrong. Third time this month, and the place was not even busy! I sometimes drive to the East Rutherford location because they never screw up. Looks like I will continue to do that. This isn't rocket science after all! read more

I've had Panera Bread food starting from 2002 that too in different parts of US, everywhere the food is consistent which is why I go there, but this particular location in Secaucus is an exception. The soup is watery, the food occasionally causes mild stomach upset and it is not consistent. read more

I might be late on this, but this place is tech savvy compared to other fast food cafes of it type. They have a system where you order your food at kiosks or directly from your table using their website/app. Very fast service and a quiet place with the typical light music playing in background. They would've gotten 5 stars but did not have dark roast coffee options when I came so I star less. Overall a good place for a quick meal and quiet enough to study. Outdoor seating available. read more

And, once again, one star is too much. I was shopping in the vicinity of this Panera and decided to stop in just to get another bagel. I walked in at about 1130am on a Sunday morning and the place was practically empty, which is not typical of most Panera restaurants on a weekend morning. There was only one cashier and she was helping someone so I waited a couple of minutes. When she finished with that customer she greeted me with a smile and asked to take my order. As I stepped forward and went to place the order, a woman who might have been a manager, began to speak to the cashier. She didn't even acknowledge me and didn't have the courtesy to say "excuse me." She just spoke to the cashier for at least two minutes and, at one point, the cashier even stepped away from the register and just left me there. Once the lady shut her mouth, the cashier came back and smiled at me and apologized. She was about the only person there who had some manners. I placed my order and began to walk towards the back to get my drink. As I filled my cup with ice I observed two employees right next to me having a personal conversation. One was cleaning the area where the green tea was located and the other was relaxed and leaning back just talking away. Neither had the courtesy to move aside when I went to get my green tea. After I said "excuse me" then they moved and continued their conversation, again without an apology. After I fill my cup I head to the counter to wait for my bagel. I see a plate with a bagel on the counter just sitting there. Then I see the girl behind the counter put a plate with another bagel on the counter. Looks like my order but I placed my order to go. One of the employees then comes to the front of the counter and tells the girl behind the counter that the order she just placed on the counter is to go. She looked like she had no energy as she took the bagel and cream cheese and places it in a bag and places it back on the counter. I guess she didn't have the energy to call the customer's name because she just left it there and turned around. I moved closer to the counter and saw my name on the bag. I grabbed it and left this restaurant completely disgusted!!!! This place seriously needs major help in servicing their customers!!!! The food is never presentable here. The employees, including management, have absolutely no customer service skills. This was the second and final chance. I will never step foot at this Panera again!!! read more
