Got off an exit earlier than usual for our Panera stop. This one is farther from 84. Kiosk system is a mild pain in the ass. The men's room was a bit janky. Coffee was consistently solid. The Asiago cheese bagel is bagel adjacent, but good enough. A safe bet for stopping during a road trip. read more

New this month at Panera they have introduced a Flavor Drop of Energy Refreshers. I haven't tried them yet but I plan to. They look delicious and especially the Dragon Fruit Sunset. It's with Fresca so it must be carbonated. Let's support these new drinks. The prices range from $4 to $5. read more

Nice and cozy by the fireplace. Just got my Sip coffee with subscription and ready to do some work. I'm meeting friends in the area later so decided to stop here to get some work done. It's pretty quiet at 5:30pm on a Tuesday. My girls always love their sandwich and soup combo. They haven't had a sandwich or soup they didn't like. I like ordering ahead so I don't hold up the line deciding what to get. read more

I used to love Panera, but today I was reminded why I stopped going. The portions are extremely small and the price is ridiculous! I got a small Mac and cheese and the total was $8.26 mind you it was like a scoop full and it taste like air! read more

I ordered online for rapid pick up at Evergreen walk, South Windsor, CT. I ordered the. spicy fiesta chicken sandwich, but I remove the chicken and add on extra peppers and corn. It's not difficult, I don't think they even read the order because I got chicken with no extra anything. This is not the first time this has happened either. Let me show you what I got. read more

I dont frequent chain restaurants but sometime when you want a quick, easy on the pocket meal or if you are sick ....familiarity and consistency helps, which is exactly why I came here recently. First off, I love that they have so many vegetarian options... the value duets at $6.99 are excellent !! Can't go wrong with a Classic Grilled Cheese or chicken sandwich or salad with Creamy Tomato Soup. The choice are endless, I love the Mediterranean veggie sandwich with hummus on sundried tomato bread.. and a well toasted sesame bagel with butter are my fav! The service is good, never had a problem at this location,plenty seating. Parking is fairly easy as well. read more

Kitchen staff mistreatment of elderly customer, swearing and threatening over a simple order mistake

0/10 if i can give this place 0 stars i would! every single time i come here and order a sandwich or uber eats it the sandwich is missing something or has something that i askd to be removed! i cannot stress this enough i don't know what it is but they always mess up my order. this is the only panera in ct that messes up orders constantly! then when i go inside an ask them to re make it they give me an attitude like i am the one who is in the wrong! it literally says what i ask for on my receipt!!!!!!! this place sucks. whoever their manger is needs to re train or watch them people who make sandwiches read more

In Evergreen Walk there's not many options where to get a coffee or a cool drink. They've shut down the few tea and coffee places I liked going to. I decided to resource Panera. Panera isn't typically my first pick, but here we are. My friend and I got their Passion Papaya green tea. It comes from the self serve machine, there's also a few other options of tea available. We also got their Oatmeal Raisin cookie to share. We didn't get any food this time. I have't been particularly impressed with their sandwiches the previous times I've gone in. I think they're a bit weak with the ingredients they provide. I really enjoyed the Passion Papaya green tea I got. It was sweet and refreshing. I'd probably prefer it a tiny bit less sweet, but it was very good. The cookie was on the smaller side, very fresh, delicious and soft. I only came here as a last resort, and it worked out fine. There's plenty of seating inside or outside. read more

This location catered a work meeting for us and we were very impressed. Price was reasonable, pastries were delicious, egg sandwiches were fantastic and the coffee was great too! read more

In general I like Panera food. This place is no exception. They introduced a self check out kiosk. I noticed it only after ordering it. May be next time I should use that. Teriyaki chicken bow was my favorite this time. I liked their spicy chicken sandwich as well. read more

The sandwiches I've tired have been fine. Overpriced, but that's just a Panera thing, I suppose. Not the cleanest place I've seen, but not bad. The service sometimes seemed a little slow in the past (even when the place is pretty much empty), but I think that has improved a little bit. read more

This is the worst run Panera I've ever been to. Who knows - perhaps the poorest in all the land. So bad, I stopped coming here for many months but came back a couple weeks ago and had an uneventful visit so thought it was safe to come back. I live in South Windsor and it's closest but back to Manchester again for me, or maybe it's time to just nix Panera and their $6 soups all together. I ordered 2 soups online for rapid pick-up. When I came in my order wasn't ready because one of the soups I ordered was out. I get it, this can happen - but well run restaurants don't sell stuff they don't have. But it gets worse...I asked the girl if they'd normally remove something from the menu they don't have. She said yes but they haven't had the time. When I arrived at 6:55 there was 1 car at the drive in, and not a single customer ordering, or waiting for an order. The place was dead (I wonder why?!). I jokingly told her to tell the Manager "booo!". With that a guy walks by behind the counter - middle aged and wearing a button down shirt so I took a guess - "are you the Manager?"..,, he said YES. I told him they should update their online menu when they run out. He asked - "of what?". I replied it doesn't matter - anything....but tonight chicken n rice soup. He looked at me like I had 2 heads , didn't apologize or offer me an extra baguette or even a glass of water and walked away. No concern whatsoever for a customer or the slightest clue how to handle or why rapid orders should be rapid and menu up to date. If it's a franchise the guy should be fired. I wouldn't let him rake my leaves. If it's a corporate store - the District Manger should spend a day at this disaster. I'll say one thing positive - the South Windsor Panera is consistent. Consistently BAD. 2 thumbs down (it's all I have)!!!! Here's my receipt with the item circled they didn't have if anyone in the company cares, but not likely. It also has my name - no hiding from this review! I knew I should have gone to Jersey Mike's... read more

The staff was nice and the place appeared to be clean, but their pizza was horrible. The sauce was not good at all. My face looked like someone just gave me cough medicine. I couldn't even eat it. My husband did. Won't get it, again. I'll stick with buying sandwiches from them. read more

Stopped there this morning on my way to an appointment. Got the egg cheese crêpe, which was stuck to the paper and disgusting. Went to go use the men's room at 8 o'clock in the morning and it was absolutely filthy and disgusting restaurant 101 if your bathroom is dirty so is the whole restaurant. read more

I love this place.WAIT....I did....UNTIL they got rid of the Chocolate chip bagel to add new dishes nothing like the chocolate chip bagel. Today my family went to get bagels for lunch. We haven't done this since they took them away. The chocolate chip bagel was my go to. Instead I needed to get an only okay everything bagel I could get anywhere. I am very disappointed in Panera. Panera was special because of a unique chocolate chip bagel. This is very upsetting for me and I'm sure Panera is losing my money. read more

Workers had a terrible attitude. I forgot to say thank you because it had been a long day and two of the workers leaned over the counter and said "yea you're welcome!" and it made me feel very uncomfortable for the rest of the time that i was there. and they forgot my pickle... read more

This morning after my hike I wanted something healthy, headed to Panera and asked the young lady at the drive thru ( her name is Anne) what she suggested For a light breakfast, she recommended a spinach, avocado and egg white sandwich. I also got a coffee, it tasted so fresh. Everything delicious, her manager was around and he came said hello, I believe his names is Paolo. Keep it up South Windsor Panera! Will be back soon for my new favorite breakfast sandwich. read more

I will NEVER come back to this Panera again. The customer service is horrible!!! I went through the drive thru to get a coffee and bagel- simple order. I waited about 5 minutes at the window for my order and drove away. I then sipped my coffee, and it was COLD. I turned around, and went back to the drive through advising that it was cold and I'd like another one. "Okay drive up". I waited for the coffee and tried to hand her the other one. "Can't take it. We don't take it back. It's a rule". I said "you have it to me cold... and I don't have a place to put it. (My cup holders were full). She said she can't take it (which I know is a Rule, but I also need both hands to drive as a rule). I said what am I supposed to do with this? She then reached and took the cup with attitude and said "have a good day" and closed the window. Please note that not one time did I hear an apology for cold coffee, for a second wait, for anything! This Panera is horrible and I intend to contact corporate about this experience and I won't be back. read more

I love Panera Bread but I do regret giving them 2 stars. Why? Because their " homemade" chicken soup is Progresso Soup(canned soup). I buy Progresso a lot and today I got the " homemade" chicken soup from PB & I knew & it was a huge huge disappointment. What other brands and fake labels are on their products I wondered after this. What a waste of money and definitely not at all good for u. I'm just done at this point read more

I've been a fan of Panera Bread for a long time. I was excited to see a new one open up near Evergreen Walk several months ago. It's a lot bigger than the other Panera Breads in the area. It also has a drive thru. I received a gift card for Christmas so I decided to stop for lunch. I arrived about 2:00pm on a Wednesday and it was packed. The drive thru had about three cars so I decided to try it out. I ordered a cup of my favorite French Onion soup and a Frontega chicken panini for later. The drive thru moved pretty fast. I was surprised. They got my order correct and the baguette that came with my soup was very fresh! In the past I always seem to get old bread. This will be my new Panera Bread from now on. Definitely worth checking out. Update: This Panera bread location has gone down hill since I came here when they first opened up. I ordered a Frontega chicken panini through the drive thru and the whole sandwich was cold. Stale bread, cold onions, cold chicken, cheese that wasn't melted. Just terrible. It made me wonder whether it was made the day before and just sat there. The extra star is because the side of bread I got was fresh. Not sure what's up with this location as I was very pleased the first time. read more

My family as a whole loves Panera Bread. It is one of our go to places for quick easy lunch or dinner options. So I was happy to learn that there was one closer to home, with a drive thru, awesome! Now I have to say that the drive thru does take a long time, but that is because most of their food is made to order and not just some burger slapped on a bun. I think that it will get faster as they work out the kinks. My suggestion would be to have a smaller menu for the drive thru with perhaps some of their quicker options. It looks like they will eventually offer delivery service as well. I'll have to update my review when that happens. But for now this location is just as consistent as the others in the area. 7/10 I definitely recommend especially if you don't feel like dragging the kids into the restaurant. read more

Panera Bread - Drive thru menu - Salad Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

Love the drive through. I struggle with walking & stepping up onto curbs. The staff that I have dealt with are friendly and warm.

Probably the worst Panera I've been to. Out of just about everything on the menu. Much smaller portions than the photos on the menu. And then the prep staff, when I picked up the order, asked me to contribute to their college fund. Since there is a Panera every 2 miles, I'd suggest just driving past this one. They do have an outdoor seating area which is a plus. read more

This location is awful. Take a 5 minute drive down to the Manchester location. This should have been a Starbucks If you want nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach and diarrhea go to this location. read more

Brand new Panera Bread at Evergreen Walk. I don't frequent this chain but I'm kinda digging it over here. Especially that it has a drive thru. I like the fact that as soon as you walk in there are 6 kiosks to your right that you can use to order, and bypass the line. That's a good time. Everything is brand new so it's pretty nice but has a comfortable feel to it. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an Asiago roll. The bread was a good choice by me. I nailed it. Next time I will ask for the bacon to be crispy. I despise flaccid bacon. This was not, more in between, but again, me likey crispy. Just under $5 for the sandwich. It's more like a $4 sandwich IMO, but I get it. I'm definitely gonna be back and try some other options. Maybe a salad and some soup. Make it a pretty nice little Saturday, but I don't know if I'll have time. read more

Disappointed with this location. I usually order rapid pickup at this location and they have messed up my order on several occasion. It's the closest one to my workplace and I order here because of convenience. When I order to go, I do not have time to sit and open it up to make sure they have made it correctly. I expect it to be done as ordered. It's one thing to screw it up once but several times is an issue. There was one time I actually called in to tell the manager my order was messed up and the manager suggested that I return to have it redone. I only have an hour lunch break and cannot drive back and forth. They offered to send me a gift card for my order.. it's been months and still I have not received anything. And I am upset with the inconsistency of bread sizes. I see the guy next to me also order half a sandwich, but he got 2/3 portion while I only have 1/3 portion of the cut. read more

I've ordered here during these times and i am really happy about their curbside service. Some establishments may have not the same quality of service or even the same food but lately this Panera has been in point with our orders. Thanks to the crew and management! read more

I don't know when I'll learn, I guess this shows how lazy I am to make a salad . I ordered the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad. Mistake .. $10 Salad with hardly any items in it. Lettuce is mostly white, hardly any chicken. Strawberry were over rip boarding on mushy, barely any mandarin oranges or whatever is supposed to be in there. Hardly any walnuts and NO blueberries. Seriously?? In my past review, I commented on not getting a baguette. Guess what, today I got two! This place needs a overhaul! read more

Today I went through the drive through and was doubled charged for my order. I didn't realize until I got home and checked my bank statement so I called the restaurant to speak to someone and was hung up on. I honestly thought it was a mistake so I called back 4x and kept being hung up on. This is absolutely ridiculous. I will not be coming back and will file a dispute with my bank to get ALL my money back.. read more

Horrible salad. Unfortunatly I hadn't inspected it until I got all the way way home. I ordered a strawberry poopy salad with chicken which has always been a favorite of mine but I am very disappointed. I paid to have feta cheese added yet there was no cheese. My salad had 4 pieces of chicken in it. French baguette was hard as rock. Having a store witg no cashiers up front and only relying on a kiosk to place your order is confusing. I was the only customer there and it took a very long time for my salad to be done. All while I watched the associates joke around in the back. I'm very upset read more

Love this new location. Bright and clean. Outdoor dining available also a drive thru. You can order via tablet terminals or walk up to the main counter. Staff here are pleasant and seem to love working there. Panera is a consistent franchise we're you go, but this location is great. Tried the roast Turkey and Apple Cheddar sandwich on a cranberry bread. very very good. go visit if in the neighborhood. i prefer this one over the location on Deming Street. read more

What a change! Customer service today was awesome! I stopped going here because they had apathetic, annoyed and unmotivated drive-thru staff. Not today! They guy on speaker answered my questions, double checked my order, the person who took my money smiled and said please and thank you and the young woman who handed me my latte ALSO said thank you to ME instead of me saying thanks and being met with a silent stare. Yes, it's just a latte - but thanks for the positive vibes! read more

Went through the drive thru. Husbands sandwich was not put together correctly. My sandwich gave me food food poisoning. I'm not even going to talk about the rude staff. Never again read more

Unbelievably slow drive thru. Why even have one? This has happened multiple times at this location.

Average Panera Bread. There were a lot of little mistakes from the customer service though. A lot of their self-serve drinks were malfunctioning and when I told them, they seemed very uncaring and slow about everything. Not my favorite panera read more
