The best thing you can say about the Panera Bread restaurant on N. Division is that the service is fast. That's it. Prices are way to high for what you get served, especially on take-out. $1 for a piece of bread that wouldn't feed a parakeet...? Oh, and then they have the gall to ask for a tip, on the charge slip, for the PB "team"! You have no waitress or waiter, no one to bring you water or refill your glass or cup. All you have is a cashier whose already getting well paid for minimal skills. They're just another price-gouging business ripping off customers. I won't go there again. read more

Breads and pastries. This is a carb and sugar Disneyland. Pretty tasty and reasonably priced. The staff was kind and helpful. Very clean establishment and high tech. You can order from a kiosk or at the counter. Plenty of tests to go. Good coffee and a pleasant atmosphere to eat in. Felt more like a homey , comfortable coffee shop than a fast food restaurant. I'd recommend for a quick bite or to have your next coffee date at. read more

I visit quite a few Panera locations when I travel. This location is well above average with fast, friendly service. While I was working and using the internet - offered free samples of deserts :) read more

Love this place for lunch! And great place to sit down and enjoy some conversation and lunch. Half soup and half a sandwich is the way to go if you are indecisive like myself. I always leave wanting more.! Even if there is ever a mistake or mishap they will fix the problem and possibly reward you for there mistake! I love Panera Bread and so does my family... read more

The worse place to dine. Food is awful, especially for the price. Panera used to be good and healthy ish option. The toasted baguettes sandwiches are a long dry chuck of bread with no substance. We felt we paid 12 bucks a piece for dried out bread while it took 40 minutes after we ordered in store to get this nasty food. What a sad pathetic joke for food. Honestly, anyone could do better. So sad that this once decent franchise had so easily decided to rip guest off with subpar food with high prices. read more

Regardless of the Covid restrictions doesn't give an excuse for rudeness. I took my mother (who is in her mid 90's) there for lunch. She cannot wear a mask because of breathing issues yet she wears a mask over her mouth so that she doesn't feel humiliated by anyone because she can't comply with Covid rules. She was told she could not be in there unless she had the mask over her nose. I tried to explain that she has breathing issues and cannot have something over her nose. I was treated rudely by this employee who was at least 6 feet away, behind a plastic barrier, and wearing a mask which made it nearly impossible to understand anything she said. I will not go back to Panera when they cannot have compassion for the elderly. My mom was very upset by this whole experience. read more

Had an underwhelming lunch experience here today. They have an automated ordering kiosk system now with buzzers and today, my buzzer didn't work. After quite awhile I went to the kitchen window and my food was sitting there on the counter, getting cold. So I get my food and sit down; no spoon was provided with my soup. I go looking for silverware around the soda area and there's nothing, so I have to go back to the kitchen window again and ask a cook for a spoon. There was zero staff at the front or back of the restaurant to help with any issues. The food itself was not great. I ordered a half Caesar salad and what I got was a spinach/arugula/red lettuce mix with a bland Caesar dressing and no parmesan added (other than what was already in the dressing). The cup of chicken noodle soup tasted okay but was way too salty. Then I had to bus my own dishes. I remember a couple years ago this Panera had staff who would bring your food out to your table and the quality of the food itself was much better. read more

Panera Bread - This has some Caesar dressing on it but doesn't actually count as a Caesar salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I ordered a poppyseed strawberry salad but was informed they were out of strawberries. They expected me to order it anyway but still pay full price. I ordered the Asian salad which was lettuce, 3 slices of chicken and some crunchy things. Was charged $9 for this. I've ordered items that are left out of my order and I am never compensated for them. The people are nice there, but it appears that they aren't getting the food supplies they need, and they aren't getting customers refunds for items they don't get. read more

very delicious food pubis in my food really gave it the extra flavor it needed. i had a pasta pubic also but threw it out the window. pictured is the pubi i was greeted with at the bottom of my soup bowl 8/10 food i did continue to eat and i will eat again but maybe conceal the hair so i don't have to know i ate them read more

Panera Bread - extra flavor in my tortilla soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Spokane, Washington

A cashier was so nice and I wasn't planning on buying only a drink but ended up getting soup and pastry no regrets because they were good. Inside the store was clean and comfortable. There were many drinks to choose from. It's quiet enough to bring books and read or talk with friends. I'll go again soon. read more

Panera Bread - Just a couple of double up on lunch entrees - Sandwiches Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We were looking for takeout dinner for 4 adults and 2 8-year olds. Panera has great food if you dine inside, but not if you're looking for takeout. We ordered the "family feast". Panera says it's enough food for 4-6 people. The tiny sandwiches were tasty, the baguette was nice, and had there been a nice big salad, it would have been ok, but the salad was barely enough for two adults. So no, feast is not the right description. As for the kids two half cheese sandwiches and two little cups of fruit aren't worth $31.00. The fruit was very good, but really? We have crossed Panera off our list for takeout. read more

Ordered through rapid pick up, went when the app said it was ready, took the staff 15 minutes to realize that maybe someone else took the order. No accountability. Panera needs to make sure the people picking up orders are the ones that ordered those items. read more

We've been here a few times, food is always good. Staff is friendly, but they always forget your pastry item when you dine in. A few times they came to tell us they don't have the item. It's basically like Starbucks, but food. Same hipster wannabes sitting around talking about their new iPhone, eating a salad bragging about how thin they are and how their friend is a horrible person because they don't use cruelty free napkins. One problem, they built this right smack dab in meth central. So these tween hipsters sit the whole a crack head is outside staring at the window having an argument with his reflection. I wish I was making this up, but the food is good, and so far the crack heads stay outside. Still better then the spokane valley location. read more

I really like the food (albeit a bit higher in price than equivalent places), but I have to knock down a couple of stars for orders being filled inaccurately on a consistent basis. Example: Ordering a sandwich through the kiosk and specifying a different bread choice. Out of 5 visits, it has only been correct ONCE. This means waiting for your food once, sending it back to be corrected, and waiting all over again. This especially sucks if you're dining with someone and you either a) watch them eat their entire meal while you wait, or b) they wait awkwardly while you wait for your food. Waiting 20+ minutes for a cold sandwich in an unbusy restaurant is not good service. I'm about 2 minutes from calling it a loss and walking out. Update: 10/3/18, 7:30pm Tonight's experience was worse than previous experiences. Sandwich was delivered on incorrect bread (which happens about 90% of the time now), and took about ten minutes to come back with correct bread. My dinner companion was almost halfway done eating by the time it came back, at which time we mentioned to our server that we did not receive the pastries we ordered. He asked what we ordered and left; we never saw him again. In the meantime, I noticed that I received the incorrect side with my sandwich, and issue I decided to let drop. We only received our pastries after waiting in line at the counter before we left. Knocking this rating down from 3 stars to two. read more

You think there'd be Chicken in your Chicken Chipotle sandwich. Super thrilled to receive instead a grilled cheese on soggy bread with bacon and sauce :/ read more

Panera Bread - Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt - Sandwiches Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I used to be a huge Panera Bread fan however after visiting this location multiple times I don't think I'll ever go back. They can't seem to find the right cell dressings for the right salads. They are always and I mean always out of stuff. One of the most annoying situations that seems to plague this location is they can't keep their baguettes in stock. And we're not talking about running out at the very end of the evening were talking about going in it 2:03 in the afternoon and they don't have them multiple multiple times. So done with this crab hole of a chain restaurant. They used to be good but now are definitely subpar. read more

If I could leave a less than one star I would. Rude counter staff is a non starter for me, empty bagel baskets with minimal selection and Luke warm coffee. I have pretty much had it with Division Street Panera. Truly sad to see no management at this location, employees without customer relations training and bare bones selections. All posters advertising great foods need to be removed and replaced with actual empty shelves and dry breads. read more

The staff at this Panera is always so friendly and helpful! I've never had an issue with this location, the food is always warm, fresh, and tastes wonderful. They gave us a free cookie for waiting for food a bit longer but even then the wait was very reasonable. Great customer service. read more

They have the BEST catering boxes! Ordered for a business lunch, and to have these labeled with names saved me so much time and headache, and they even came with a little treat! Thank you for making life easier Panera Bread! read more

Pure healthy awesomeness awaits you! Service could be worked on .... but great healthy well prepared food!!! Hopefully this will overcome the McDonald's and become the platinum standard for fast food!!! read more

I decided to try after almost a year. The drive thru took 20 minutes almost. The worker was nice, but she gave me lemon cookies because the wait was so inordinately long. At lest give me a neutral sugar cookie. Not your least popular. read more

Even though Panera is a chain and I'd rather generally eat local I am happy that this one opened on Division. I stopped in on Sunday and it was packed! (Everyone must have been influenced by the NCAA tournment commercials- GO ZAGS). Panera features breads, soups, salads, etc. If you need a lunch to-go they have a drive through. I enjoy their cinnamon bagels and flavored cream cheeses as well as their hot sandwiches. Kid friendly options here include a very rich mac and cheese. Be aware they throw in lots of sweet extras - like bonus cookies - read more

My husband had raved about Panera bread and then, we finally got one closer to us. It's absolutely ridiculous to pay nearly $40 for 2 sandwiches and two soups, with drinks. The soup was cold and the meat on the sandwiches was fatty. Never going there again. read more

Fantastic place! We love going there and have breakfast or lunch ! A variety of pastries and sandwiches, all fresh, we love their bagels too!! Soups, flatbreads, coffees, it's all there- we love Panera!! read more

Panera on the Northside at last!! It recently opened and is located just in front of Lowes. Beautiful building inside and out. Clean eats is their motto & they do a terrific job at that! My daughter and I stopped by this morning to check it out and feast on their breakfast goodies. I felt like a kid in a candy store, danishes, yummy chocolate muffins and the list goes on. I decided to go the healthy route and ordered the egg white, avocado and spinach breakfast sandwich. My daughter chose an orange scone, which was huge and she was all smiles, so I suspect it was good. The breakfast sandwich was tasty as well, and definitely worth the $4. We will definitely be back. read more

I have been going to Panera for years, and not once have I been served as kindly as I was today. After a hard day of work, I went and was served by Ally, and even though she had no idea I was having a hard day, her kindness absolutely made my day. She was patient, and seemed as if she genuinely cared, no matter how annoying fast food service can be. People like her are what makes Panera such an amazing place to go to. read more

Something is happening at Panera, one of our previously favorite restaurants. The Spokane restaurant looks more shabby and worn, our table top was dirty, the bathrooms are now locked and the keypad provided did not work, the clerk was barely understandable, food is no longer brought to the customers table, and the soup was not hot. I understand Covid has affected staffing but the manager needs to step up his or her game. read more

We were a party of 3 that visited Panera on Division the afternoon of November 17, 2018. We were waiting in line before ordering and witnessed the cashier reach into the case to get the customer in front of us an item. While she was reaching to the front of the case her long braided hair came into contact and dusted the entirety of 2 pans of cinnamon rolls. After we ordered, not from the case, I kindly sought out a manager to let them know what we witnessed. The young blonde man couldn't have been much older than 18-20 years old, presented himself as a manager who could help. He said he would take care of it. We were there for an entire hour and never once witnessed the cinnamon rolls being pulled from the case. They remained displayed available for sale. Will not return to Panera! read more

This is a high-end sandwich shop with a trendy decor (even a cute little fire place stuck up in the middle of a wall) and up-scale ordering available. When you walk in there are a number of kiosks from which you can order or you can go tot the counter and order. The sandwiches were tasty but fairly expensive. This is the type of place you go to impress others that you have the money to pay too much for what you get. read more

expensive for sub-average food, I've come here a few times because I thought i was shortchanging them, I received wrong orders every time, I came back this last time and was laughed at and was refused a replacement for my order. Bad service, bad food, no thank you. read more

This Panera was super busy for the lunch hour. I liked how they had the new personal check out systems near the front. Was able to order what I want on my own and not have to wait in line. The food came out quick and everything was made as ordered. Had plenty of seating and the restaurant was clean. read more

Every table in restaurant is dirty every time we eat here. Lady came out to clean tables because people complained and she wiped three tables down that's it. Payed over 5 bucks for a Mac and cheese and it came with a very tiny portion and cold. Not worth the money. read more

The food was excellent quality. I had a steak and white Chads at sandwich and it was really good as was the rice & chicken soup. Unfortunately the place was filthy. There wasn't a clean table in the restaurant to sit at so we wiped our own table and the floor looked like a cheap buffet. Clean up your act Panera. read more

Really bummed this location has gone down hill. If they have the item and they aren't sold out which is typically the case-it's poorly made and thrown together. I've got curbside a couple times and paid extra for add ons only to get home and see they totally disregarded my request. The food has just become sloppy. Hope they can turn around because I used to really like Panera bread! read more

We went there because they claim to be a soup and sandwich shop. I say claim because they only had three soups and online they claimed to have vegetarian soup. They did not. I am a vegan though I will eat vegetarian if my meat-eating husband really wants to go there. We were both severely disappointed. They had vegetarian sandwiches but I cannot eat them. His sandwich was not worth the money. We ate an extremely expensive lunch that left us both hungry. My husband ate both our meals. Minestrone should be vegan always! read more

The Panera's in Spokane are terrible. Service it bad and slow. Coffee is always out, or has grounds in it. The internet is unrealizable. I travel extensively and have been to Panera's all over the U.S. and these are by far the worst. And the funny thing is they are dead every time I come in here. And they still can't get stuff right. read more

I love Panera's food! The autumn squash soup is my fave! This is a really nice establishment and good for any occasion.

This was the worst food experience I've had in a long time, so bad that I had to go out of my way to create a Yelp review. Where do I start... first off, the flatbread pizza had no sauce at all and it was extremely dry and stale and had like no cheese on it. The baguettes were also stale. I ordered a small Mac and cheese (for $5.79) and got the container halfway full so it was about 3 bites. I also got two hot chocolates that tasted like literal water that I had to return for new ones and not to forget they were out of almost every bagel. The only thing was was just decent was the broccoli cheddar soup. My entire order came out to $35 and this was the biggest disappointment and dissatisfaction I've ever experienced at any food place I've eaten at for the price I paid. I appreciate the friendly staff but won't be coming back! read more

This place was a great lunch option for us! We just finished dropping someone off at the airport. We decided to go to here for a nice lunch. It was overall very tasty with great bread and food, except for the bacon which was soggy instead of crispy. The restaurant was very clean also! We had a great experience here. read more
