Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I was invited to an impromptu gathering today and needed something to share for a potluck. First thing that came to mind was my favorite salad option from Panera! I love their Mediterranean Chicken Greens with Grains Salad, so the order was placed through the app for pick up. The salads, I ordered 3, were picture perfect and ready at the time reflected on the app. Easy! Staff was friendly. Glad I thought of this option for the potluck! read more

I was definitely not impressed with my latest trip to Panera. The amount of time I spent waiting for my order was painful. It was 10:00 am and I ordered thru the app for what I thought would be a quick order. Ordered a cinnamon bagel and chocolate croissant with a drink. When I walked in no one was in line and the electronic board showed my name first with prepping as the status. After ten mins the mgr asks do you want your cup so you can pour your drink? I was confuse because I didn't understand what was the hold up. Another ten mins went by and I finally got my two other items. I have to believe it was just an off day because I couldn't imagine what what would be if it was something that had to be cooked and plated. Might just stick to my neighborhood Panera. read more

Panera Bread - Rapid pickup? - Sandwiches Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Food quality rapidly declining over the past year. What's happening at this location?? A few months ago they stopped offering the orange-cranberry muffins and pumpkin muffins. Then the cinnamon rolls went from being fluffy, tall, and moist to being flat and dry like a hockey puck. I often get the breakfast sandwiches and noticed the biggest decline in quality with these items. They used to be full, freshly made, visually appealing sandwiches. They also looked (mostly) like the pictures on the app. Now they have become flat, squished, and nothing like the pictures. Check out the photo comparison I included. They are not worth the $6.59 price, which goes up to $7.89 if you get delivery and they increase the price of all items for that method! read more

We needed to pick up a large order for someone. It was due by 11:30. We showed up at 11:25. The woman named Trinidad working at the counter said that we were early. She let it be known we were early. Very rudely. She then proceeded to tell us that the order was coming from the Lynnhaven location. They could have told the person who ordered the food that it would be coming from Lynnhaven and prepared there. We would have just picked it up from there. As we sat there the person who ordered the food told us that Panera on Lynnhaven called and said they were delivering it to our location. Trinidad was just going to let us sit there and say nothing to us. The only positive thing I could say about this location was that it looked clean and they had ok music playing. The customer service from that woman was TERRIBLE. read more

For a whole sandwich you don't get that much tuna very little this is one place you don't want to come to if you are hungry their whole tuna is like everybody's half a sandwich of tuna they charge you more money for let's meet read more

I like this Panera because I can meet family and friends here . It is the closest to my house. Food has always been good. Drinks fair. Sometimes it looks like they don't fill my cup all the way up.Service is nice . They are a bit slow getting orders out. Especially when you only order a drink. For the most part we think it is great but like I said a little slow. Clean and plenty of parking read more

Zero hustle here. 20 minutes to get a breakfast sandwich and smoothie. Terrible operation. Food was fine - as expected at Panera.

Don't get anything but a sip cup as a "rapid order pickup". I have been getting the exact same thing and SOMEHOW they mess it up every single time. I'm tired of writing to them and I'm tired of paying 14.00 for a crappy salad. Dine in or just prepare to be disappointed. read more

I do love Panera and this is a first time visit at this store located in the Red Mill area of Virginia Beach. Parking is all surface and around the store. I found the lot and walks clear of debris. The storefront is hidden from the road and faces inward, so if you find yourself searching from the street your not see the sign. Like all Panera's they have a kiosk system to place the order yourself if you like. In my opinion this works best when their is a line which there was not early Friday afternoon when visiting. The young male staff was friendly and helpful with my son's order of chicken tortellini with side baguette. I got a chocolate chip cookie. The decor is obviously Panera, but each store has a bit of their own identity on floor plan. This plan seems to be smaller in square footage, but more than ample. Since the dining room is not deep lots of natural light flows to the rear. All tables not used were clean. The bus yourself trash area as well as the drink station were also clean. Our order was expedited by the store manager and took less than 10 minutes. My son reported that the taste of everything was good and since he ate everything I assumed this to be the case. My cookie was fresh and yummy! I would not hesitate in returning and would recommend others try. Panera as a chain seems to be consistently above average and this is why I return. read more

Panera Bread always have excellent customer service!! I was NOT impressed with their breakfast's sandwich this morning.... The sausage was flavorless and rubbery..EXTRA YUCK!! I should have stuck with my usual ( the souffle or bagels...Always, good) But, my coffee was on point!!!.. read more

After being back, I will say a lot has changed. The smoothies are smaller and more expensive which sucks. The mac and cheese is more cheesier than usually which isn't good. The new baja warm grain bowl is to die for, a bit spicy but not overpowering. Overall I missed Panera, still good. This one isn't bad and the people are read more

Dave and I were in the area and wanted to grab lunch. Line was super long- it was almost out the door. We decided to order our food at the kiosk station. We really liked the convenience of being able to look through the menu and select our order on the touch screen. Once you're done ordering you just grab a number and they'll bring your food out to you. You can also order from your table using their online app. Each table has a table number and after you place your order they can bring your food out to you. Very smooth and convenient food ordering process. Food was good. Dave ordered the Italian sandwich with chips. Chips were too salty. He also got a chocolate chip cookie which he said was perfect. I ordered the pick two: broccoli and cheese soup with a Chipotle chicken sandwich. Nice visit. Good service. Clean bathrooms. read more

I have come to this Panera quite a few times because I worked on it Sandbridge surprisingly enough that if you online order any seem to get our orders really quickly, I've never been delayed here other than lunchtime for obvious reasons.

Used kiosk to order and every item I tried to order received a message that ingredients were out of stock. Things like cheese and tomatoes. Ended up ordering a salad to go and when I got home, one of the two provided dressings appeared to be used as it was half-full with a full cucumber slice inside. Will NOT return. read more

I barely visit this place since it's far from home. But let me tell you, today I came by after my dog's appointment and put my order into the kiosk. Waited a little bit and the manager approached me and asked what's my name. Right away he checks my order at the back and came back with it. I even requested some butter and he willingly turned around and gave me some including the knife. He is very attentive and focused. I recommend this place. Thank you sir! read more

Good enough for a "bagel" and coffee for breakfast, which sucking down some wifi to send work emails. I put the "bagel" in quotes because it's good and it has the flavor but come on. This isn't exactly a New York style bagel. But you can't beat the convenience of a comfortable table with free wifi (it will cut out on you during the busy lunch hours) and more than enough power outlets with unlimited refill coffee. This is a good location in the shopping plaza with plenty of parking. read more

Had a tuna sandwich.very little tuna on a rock hard bread/ roll.last time for Panera.

Overall, this is one of the better Panera Bread locations in the area. I live in this area of the city too, so the location is convenient. The staff here has always been friendly and if there's been an issue, they will generally go out of their way to make you a satisfied customer. Tonight I ordered my usual, which is the Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich on ciabatta. The sandwich was good as always. Last week when I was there I had the turkey chili, which was also very good. You really can't go wrong with this Panera location. Free wifi is an additional plus. If you're in the area for something to eat, this is a good place. read more

This Panera location is located at Red Mill near Outback. When I went in on a Sunday afternoon last week at around 6pm it was almost empty and I was promptly served my half sandwich (turkey bacon bravo) and salad. It was delicious as usual and I enjoyed a nice booth seat watching people and traffic for a while eating my wholesome food. Great location - great food. Panera has fresh sandwiches and sweets and food. I don't usually feel too bad about eating here unless I happen to get one of their sweet coffee drinks or some of their baked goodies but I usually am able to abstain. Yum. Plus, who doesn't love Red Mill? This place is near tons of shopping and other cute shops. read more

Food was good, but my coffee ended up making me throw up... Never had this experience before at any other Panera. I thought it was just a coincidence and just a one time thing, but I ordered the same drink again from this Panera and threw up again. Something feels off. Giving it 2 stars because the food was good, but the drink upset my stomach so bad. Also, when it arrived it was super watered down and tasted off. read more

Great place with awesome customer service! I had a bad apple and they replaced it without complaint! Great customer service and the food is always fresh and healthy! I ordered the pick 2: autumn squash & Napa sandwich with a passion green tea! It was a very hearty meal... really hit the spot! It's always clean and warm and inviting in here! The staff look happy to be there and happy to see you! They were very meticulous about keeping the tables clean. The fireplace was running, so it made for a cozy area to sit and dine with my friend Mel. I would definitely prefer to come to this Panera as they are very welcoming, as well as meticulous with keeping the place nice and clean! Great food and great staff! What more could you ask for!! read more

What a rip off!! On vacation and decided to go with a sandwich and maybe soup for dinner instead of expensive hotel meal. Soup and sandwich was one order and the "2 pick" with salad and sandwich was the other. The salad was maybe three fork fulls, pretty lame for $10. Lettuce is not that expensive! At least fill the container you serve it in. Won't order that again and be a while before I go back. read more

Food, average as usual besides the fact that my salad tasted like pickles. I order my usual pick-2 and was grossed out by it. Also, my bowl was dirty. Like what even cause the smudge, unacceptable. If I were go to McDonalds this would have never happened. The only highlight of my experience was the young man who delivered my food. He was very kind and really cute. He was tall, thin with long wirey dirty blond hair, glasses, and kind of timid... Give him a raise, he deserves it PS. The soap dispenser fell off the wall as I was using it... Might want to fix that. read more

I love the Broccoli cheese soup, and the tuna Sandwich, actually there isn't anything on the menu that I wouldn't recommend, it's all 5 Star

I think by far, this is the best Panera in the area. The order taker was very friendly, the food was made fast and accurately-and hand delivered to my table without the buzzer going off. It felt like they genuinely wanted me there and the food tasted like it too. The chipotle chicken sandwich and the French onion soup were on point and loaded with toppings. The atmosphere was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean-albeit a bit hidden and small. The parking lot is shared by the Red Mill shopping area but overall I love the food, facilities and the staff. Keep doing what you are doing-can't wait to stop on a smoothie craze day! read more

Your average Panera - great food, pastries, & service. The only things that makes me cringe about them lately are their prices. I got dinner to-go last night; ordered a sandwich, small Mac-n-cheese side, HALF a Thai salad and the total was $23! No pastries, no drinks! Ahhhhh. It's good food and all, but a lot of times I end up leaving Panera thinking, "Man, I could have eaten somewhere better or fancier for that price." Oh well. I guess sometimes you just have a taste for something and have to satisfy the craving. One of the cool things about them is the free Panera club, or "My Panera" program. The cashier swipes your membership card when you order/pay, and you could end up with something free! She scanned my card and said, "For the rest of September, you can get a free coffee daily." I asked if I could use it already and she said, "Sure!" and gave me a large coffee cup! Hello, Hazelnut!! Again, because of prices, I don't come to Panera frequently, but it's still a decent spot! read more

Free Wifi is an added bonus and I like that they have outside seating for some sunshine or if you wanted to bring the pup. I have a "My Panera" card which gives you a free pasty or $3.00 off a "You pick 2" combo every once in a blue moon. Delish! read more

How can you serve not fresh avocados multiple times? How? Like if I'm spending 10 bucks on a salad and the avocado is hard as a rock? Go to Harris teeter and buy some fresh ones. Or here's a hint? Put them in a paper bag to make them fresh. That would be great read more

Chains are sometimes hard to review... they're like a bag full of red lego bricks, all looking the same. What can distinguish a chain store like Panera is service. So long as the product quality remains consistent, the advantage of the chain store is you know the Cobblestone roll you get at one will be like the morning Cobblestone at another. Service is so often the distinguishing factor and the visit this morning made the Panera the green Lego in the bag full of reds. Everyone in the store was not only courteous and helpful, each was smiling. That is so often a challenge with the morning crowd but here, you genuinely felt welcomed by a team of employees that seemed to enjoy working there. read more

Ordered the Chipotle Chicken Melt. The picture on the menu looks great, but don't be fooled what you get is not even close. I had maybe five small pieces of chicken, four on one half and one on the other half. The avocado was sliced in half only. Half with each half of the sandwich. I could not recognize any cheese at all. The Chipotle sauce was very light and the bread was very hard to chew, almost like a rubber band. Would definitely not recommend this restaurant. Pembroke Mall location Virginia Beach. I would add the pictures but this review board won't let me! read more
