I got an email letting me know their summer Strawberry Poppyseed salad was on a special for a limited time only for only $5.99 I stopped at this Panera to get my salad and it was delicious. Fresh and full of tasty ingredients. The strawberries were sweet and the chicken was lean. The dressing was also very good and the staff at the restaurant were very pleasant. read more

Panera Bread - Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Always amazing every time I go they always have everything fresh lined up on the counter as fast efficient people are friendly. It's near. Our daughter's house was convenient for me to go and grab a coffee or something while I'm either out doing errands for them or while I'm actually visiting at their house. I don't eat inside that often because I'm always in a rush, but it always looks very nice inside the store. read more

We arrived at 5pm on a Friday. My wife ordered in store a blueberry bagel and a hazelnut coffee. When she was buzzed to the pickup area they said both were sold out. I asked what bagels they still had in stock and the woman waved her hand at the bagel bin. I asked what an Asiago bagel was and she answered "a bagel." We had to use wipes to clean the table where we sat. Worst Panera experience we have had. Do not plan on ever returning to this store. read more

My kids have insisted that I leave 5 stars. Listen. It's a basic restaurant, but the tech makes ordering easy for a parent! The food is overpriced but the new discounts for kid's drinks are nice. My kids love it. I do enjoy the WiFi when I need to work. read more

Panera Bread - Comfy booth in the corner - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I recently visited Panera Bread and was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and an eagerness to help, making me feel welcomed. Their friendly demeanor was consistent throughout my visit, adding a pleasant personal touch to the service. The food at Panera Bread was nothing short of amazing. Each dish I tried was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared, showcasing their commitment to quality. But what truly stood out was their incredible selection of pastries. There was a delightful variety, from sweet to savory, each more tempting than the last. The pastries were not only delicious but also presented beautifully, making them hard to resist. Cleanliness is a big factor for me, and Panera Bread excelled in this area. The store was well-maintained, with clean tables and a welcoming atmosphere. Furthermore, the bathrooms were spotless, reflecting their high standards of hygiene and care for customer comfort. Overall, my visit to Panera Bread was a delightful experience. The combination of friendly staff, exceptional food, and a clean, inviting environment made it a place I would happily return to and recommend to others. Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a cozy place to work, or a variety of tasty pastries, Panera Bread is a great choice. I must add that they did mess up my son's sandwich which was the Caprese and we asked for no peppers but at 9 you pull off the peppers and eat it. read more

Panera Bread - Menu time - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Panera was my go to place for breakfast or lunch. Visited today and was sadly disappointed. Ordered an egg & cheese on a multigrain bagel with coffee. Due to my points I was offered a free pastry which I selected a chocolate croissant. The bagel sandwich was just ok although not sure it was a bagel as there wasn't a bagel 'hole'. The chocolate croissant was not fresh and had only one small bite, the coffee was pretty good. Will not be returning at all. read more

I like their food but their portions have become so small and their prices have gone up.

Literally took 14 minutes to get a toasted bagel. No line, no drink, nothing just toasted bagel with cream cheese not even put on bagel. It's in a container. Bagel unwrapped. Just thrown in bag with a napkin read more

Usual spot. "Wanna go to Panera?" "Yes. The one on Bald Hill Road? Near Saladworks?" "Yes." A typical conversation when choosing a lunch spot. Love the ambiance and go out of our way to be at this specific location. Always get the Mac and cheese. Sometimes I splurge but i think why mess with perfection. read more

If you want to see three artisan like fast food workers look like a symphony of politely putting out sandwiches, watch the kitchen area of Panerai bread on Bald Hill road ....contextually polite, hard working and if I wernt so tired would have been even more complimentary...they worked the lunch this day, and were "wow" read more

Four of us went. Three adults and a child. Terribly understaffed. Everything took a lot of time: putting our order in, waiting for the food and when we wanted to return trays in the trash area, it was totally packed in desperate need of cleaning. The upside was my meal was very good. The salad was delish. The Turkey Chili that I love was good, but edamame could have been omitted. The chickpeas were a nice touch, and I still like their original recipe. read more

Panera Bread - Spinach, Bacon and Poppy Salad and Turkey Chili - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I was charged for their beverage subscription program despite having cancelled the service, so I have paid for a service I did not get. I've tried reaching out several times to their "customer care" team to get a generic response about forwarding my issue to another department. Huge scam. read more

Dirty dining room - pretty much no clean tables to sit at, we had to wipe down a table in order to sit down, no silverware given to my friend who ordered food, she had to ask for a knife, and then it was dirty. Not enough hot water to fill my cup for a large tea that I just paid for, only enough water to fill the cup halfway and so I made the employee who took my order aware of the problem, showed her my half full cup . . . and she asked if I wanted "more water than that" in my cup. Seriously, is that a question? Yes I want more hot water, I paid for a full cup of tea, not a half cup. read more

I'm giving this location 1 stars because the chicken fontega had no taste and the Pepsi was flat.

They shorted 2 milks of my to go package, once I came back yo ask and they just attitude was so bad and handed me 2milks package, after I returned my car and found those milks without straws on the milks outside packing. Really bad service!!! won't come to this store anymore. read more

Panera Bread - No Straw. - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I ordered a soup and salad to be delivered yesterday. I realized after I placed the order that I forgot to say "no almonds" on the salad. I called and got a woman on the phone who asked me if it was an allergy or just a preference. I said it wasn't an allergy but why would you need to know that? Then she just asked my name and said she would take care of it. I said, all you need is my name, not the order number? Thought that was strange but ok... The salad was delivered with the almonds. read more

After standing in line forever I had to walk out. Woman taking orders at the register could not get out of her own way. She kept wiping her nose with her hand then touching the register. She put the woman's order in wrong that was standing in front of me and had to start over. I know everyone is short staffed right now and we all need to have patience but today was ridiculous. I love Panera and love the food but after today I will definitely not be visiting that location anytime soon. read more

food was good service was okay prices were ridiculous The cost of macaroni and cheese is beyond ridiculous read more

Easy pickup during the pandemic- ordered online and it was ready 5 minutes later. This might be the freshest salad I've ever gotten from a Panera! First time my avocado wasn't rotten! Will be back to this location. read more

I ordered using the tablets since there was a long line. My order of salad and Mac and cheese cake out quickly and was delish. Perfect temp on the Mac, salad properly tossed. The green juice blend is also a big favorite of mine and I always make sure to grab a cup! I love that they have actual dishes and utensils that can be washed and reused especially with the big push against plastics in our cliimate crisis. I wish they had reusable cups as www lol but the dining wade alone make this quick and easy meal quilt free. I enjoy panera when I'm on a rush and craving their green Goddess salad. TIP- sign up for a Panera reward card (you just give your phone number) for a free pastry on your birthday as well as the ability to earn free treats based on how much you spend! read more

Panera Bread - Green goddess and Mac you pick two - Sandwiches Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Panera bread is a chain - so there is no change other than in service and quality when you go to any location. I love the addition of fresh roasted turkey breast on the menu. I love getting a caesar salad with just roasted turkey, shaved parm and dressing with a slice of baguette It's fresh, tasty and easy to take out. I was not a fan of Panera before - so many other places to go and I think their soups are too salty. But now I have my favorite thing so I am happy to share my experience! read more

Overall a nice restaurant and the food is consistent with other franchises, but the service here is consistently below other locations. Food is frequently late to come out. My most recent "rapid" (as an aside please don't call this rapid) order was 20 minutes after the quoted "rapid" pick up time. They frequently reply with "sorry we are slammed", which seems less like a legitimate excuse and more like an opportunity to hire more team members. With that being said, losing customers to slow/poor service is a quick way to catch up with demand. read more

I ate at this place and the service was terrible the girl behind the counter seemed like I was aggravating her she clearly looked and acted like she did not want to be there. It wasn't that busy but waited a while for a burned chef chicken sandwich. It was dry and had more bread than chicken it was a chicken tender to burned and dry waste of time and I sat at window looking at Popeyes chicken which was tastier and moist and half the price Panera was a great place when they first opened but had gone down in quality and up in cost, everything now is skimpy, I mean really they serve you a giant bowl with very little salad and barely any chicken. Very disappointed baked goods are good, so now when I think of Panera I think of a morning stop for coffee and pastry. read more

Me and my friend both got good poisoning from the Mac and cheese :( we were both throwing up for 2 hrs. I love Panera and never had this problem before :( read more

I love the food, usually, at Panera but the last 2 times I have gone to the Warwick, RI location has been horrible and I get no satisfaction calling to talk to anyone. Yesterday a white cheddar cheese sandwich I ordered without some horseradish sauce. I recieved bread and beef, nothing else. I called to complain. I had the order slip but the manager who sounded 12 could not find my order. I was on the phone for 15 minutes and he told me he had to put me on hold. I said no and he said he was putting me on hold and went click. This was the second time I complained. The first time, 6 months ago, they were to credit me back on my Panera Card for the next time I came in. I never got the credit. I find this just unacceptable. read more

Oh Panera, I'm glad how few people go to you. When you walk into this particular location you are immediately blasted with some nice brisk air. Not too cold but just enough to make you comfortable. On your right there is a huge display of pastries and smoothies which is amazing! You can choose from anything on the display and they will cut it for you right there. The employees greeted me with a smile and even made a joke about the weather (typical chit chat you don't get from a "fast food" place.) There is a rather large dining area that is pretty much blocked off from the "serving" area. There are two fire places with conventional tables, booth's, and even a "longing" area for you to pick your desired eating area. I just went in for a quick smoothie but ended up leaving with the frozen strawberry lemonade! Yum! It was so delicious! The only thing that keeps me from giving this place five stars was the size of the damn straw in this lemonade! It was literally the size of a penny. It was just to much. This is easily a place I'm going to go for lunch for now on (it's a little pricey but totally worth it). I wish I had known it was so close to me this whole time! read more

Girl named Kaley approached the counter and starting digging in her scalp as I was ordering. I guess she had an itch. I told her to either wash her hands or wear gloves, because what she did was unsanitary and she was about to handle food. She's not the cleanest looking woman to begin with, overweight with unkempt hair. Prior to that her attitude wasn't great. When I approached the counter, she pretended not to see me. another employee told her to help me. She pretended to be busy fidgeting with the magnetic strips that have soup names on them (it was 830am), and I know she saw me. Most of us patronize Panera for the atmosphere, its relaxing and a great way to start your day. Ive been going here for years, to locations all over the country. This is the rudest Ive ever been treated. This girl is not cut out for serving breakfast, she's unclean with an attitude problem. read more

Manager/shift leader could use some sort of "effective managerial training". Kudos to the cashier for remaining courteous throughout despite being belittled by his superior. Would have been a 1 star review if not for the cashiers attitude. read more

The food was OK but the service terrible. I had my MyPanera card out during the entire order but the clerk said she could not enter the number because it was too far into the checkout process. The manager could not do it either and said to use the receipt and mobile app to get credit. When I got home the receipt was nearly illegible and I could not read the number to enter. I finally had to open a support request to get credit for the visit. The clerk was also clueless about the food, my wife asked what was in a particular sandwich and was never told it had onions, which it did and she did not enjoy it at all. I forgot how big the sandwiches are so I asked how big a whole sandwich was and was told "Two Halves". Such a helpful answer! They need to train the clerks and managers! There had to be a way to enter my card, I cant believe there was no way to back up and get the card entered. Also, have a clue about what you are selling! read more

The service was efficient to get a good medium coffee and a wild blueberries scone. Please remember to register in their free loyalty program. The point of improvement would be to have newer seats in booths. A lot of them were so worn out, they almost had a hole. It was uncomfortable to seat on them. It was free to park on the shopping center parking lot. This Panera bread was within a walking distance of Trader Joe's and Orange Leaf Frozen yoghurt. read more

Did not give me a straw despite me asking, food was sub-par and I wasted money on a smoothie that I had no way to drink. The money I spent wasn't worth rubbery chicken in a sandwich either. read more

A Panera is a Panera is a Panera... right? Well, that's what I thought, but this particular Panera is better than the others I've been to. Why is that? Well, because they actually construct the sandwiches with thought, which I truly appreciate. I'm not saying this place stacks up against fine eating establishments, but for what it is, it's good. There's plenty of parking, ample seating and a fail-safe order/pick up system. Their salads are always fresh, and I really do love their tomato soup. If you're in Warwick, running errands on Bald Hill and need a quick bite, this will do. This will do just fine. read more

I like Panera and I like the choices that they have. It used to be years ago that they would give you a salad when you ordered it that you thought was really healthy but when you looked up the calories they were outrageous. They have really gone above and beyond to create salads that can be really healthy. You can choose to have the calories or not but at least they make it easy to find out what you're eating and what is in it. Also their soups and sandwiches are as delicious as ever but again you could make much more healthy choices because you can be knowledgeable about what you're ordering. They include the nutrition information on the menu and it's up to you to make the choices which I love. I also love the curbside delivery. You just order your food pull up give your license plate and they bring the food out to you. Always good and fresh and they've gone a long way to improve which I really appreciate read more

I love Panera. The food is always fresh and consistent . The employees are always chipper . I have lunch here at least 4 days a week. However I found out today that they make their employees cover their tattoos. I may have to reconsider my lunch options. Perhaps they should hire people without the desire to be individuals. Maybe they should just put one of those microphones on the counter and we can just talk to a box. That way nobody would be offended. Come on Panera you are so good, let your employees be who they are. Everything else here is just perfect for a good lunch fast. read more

Panera, You may be a chain, but you are a darn good one! I could eat at Panera everyday. For real. The soups and sandwiches are tasty, the breakfast options are great as well. The coffee is always fresh and the staff is super friendly, no matter what time of day you stop by. The Tomato Mozzarella Panini is the best! read more

This Panera location is my go-to for a quick and consistently yummy lunch when I'm out running errands. The service is friendly and the food is well made and consistent. There is plenty of seating and tons of natural light through big windows. There are plenty of places to sit and plug in a lap top or tablet and comfy chairs, tables, and booths. Even when it's busy the food comes out fairly fast. Not sure what else can be said for a chain sandwich shop, other than this location is better than some. read more

I have zero complaints about Panera. I'm a fan of the pick 2 lunch. I'm also a fan of the anything from the baked goods section for a buck. The coffee and teas are great. The soup, salad, pasta, and sandwiches are all good too. They have a rewards program too. read more
