Fabela gracefully and immediately went to get two pots of fresh coffee as soon as she handed me my fifty cents change after I paid. Her voice is also as soothing as birdsong in the morning. Thanks, Gabela, for your kind, cheerful, and competant service. What an asset you are to Tenleytown, Washington DC Panera Bread. And by the way, the coffee tastes good, especially with a little squeeze of honey and sprinkle of nutmeg. I visited and bought coffee from this Panera and wrote this review on 2025 June 15, Sunday. Thank you for reading this. read more

Made a mobile order using their app. It located by the Metro station exit, so was not easy to find a parking even after 7pm. Arrived at the time as promised, and our order was ready on the counter. The Chicken Mediterranean Grains Salad had a lot of ingredients. The Cheesesteak in the Black Pepper Focaccia bread was warm. The Pecan dessert was as expected. read more

Their bread is amazing! Also great customer service. Staff go out of their way to satisfy customers.

Fine, chipotle chicken sandwich was good, place was a tad dirty. Staff was nice 3/5 for me read more

Panera Bread - Chicken Ceasar Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came here earlier today and got some cool lunch. A colleague from work had previously ordered balsamic chicken greens with grain salad, and it motivated me to come here and get one for myself. It basically consisted of romaine lettuce, as well as, mixed greens, and a whole bunch of vegetables. The grilled chicken was white meat, and I could tell that they prepared the grilled chicken today. My salad also had avocados and feta cheese, which made it even more delicious. The restaurant was pretty busy and it seemed like most of the people who work around the area come here for lunch. The had plenty of workers preparing food, so I didn't wait long. There was also a large group of teenagers in the back section, and they were a little loud. I took my salad with me to go, and I headed right back to the office. It was an awesome salad! read more

I haven't been to Panera in a while, but I had a craving so I went out of my way to visit. I was excited to see the little kiosk that allowed me to skip the line. Unfortunately, the kiosk wouldn't accept my Panera gift card. I ordered a broccoli and cheddar bread bowl with chips. The soup was delicious as always but the bread bowl was a bit of a bust. They didn't properly cut out the center of the bread bowl so my soup only had about a half inch divot to sit in so I had to pull out the bread manually. I also didn't get my chips which I was looking forward to as an afternoon snack. It always sucks when you get your food to go an there is something missing. Remember to check your order before you leave. read more

It's become our routine to stop for a soufflé at a Panera before we drive out of town. This is the 2nd time I've been to this location and both times, they didn't have any soufflés. Today, it was because they were still cooking it and it would take another 10 mins. In a rush to get on the road and starving, I order the next thing that looks good on the menu - a steak and egg breakfast sandwich. I wouldn't have given this place such a poor review except that employees were yapping away about their social lives while several of us were waiting for our orders ... I saw a sandwich waiting on the food counter for a dine in customer but knew I had ordered mine to go. After a few more minutes of waiting, and having learned about the employees' weekend plans inadvertently from their loud conversations, I ask about my order. Turns out that the sandwich sitting on the counter, getting cold, was mine. Again, even after realizing they had not packed up my order correctly, they take their precious time as they continue to talk amongst themselves. I'm thoroughly annoyed BC it took forever to get my food, and I could have gotten my soufflé in the amount of time I waited. Needless to say, I will never return to this location. read more

I live in Tenleytown. When this location first opened it was decent but has really gone downhill. I went in today just to see if they had a croissants, scones, bagels, etc. It was the end of the day so I didn't expect much but there was almost nothing and what was there had flies on it. The guy behind the counter didn't ask if I needed help. It was gross and depressing. read more

I am new to Uber Eats and wanted to surprise my daughter with some soup from Panera - her favorite. I live in PA and I called the store and spoke with CC(sp?) to make sure that I did it correctly. She was so kind and helpful and even sent my daughter a cookie when she found out she wasn't feeling well! That's great customer service. Above and beyond! Thank you CC! read more

Hey there, Do not enter! The service is horrible. Numerous schools are close by, and despite knowing that kids are their primary clientele, these businesses treat them horribly. My children and I are outraged because, when paying for this pricey food, service personnel, especially the new manager, humiliated and denigrated them. Because respect is universal and I educate my kids that, just because someone is young doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated with respect. read more

My friend Judith and I wanted to do something to support healthcare workers-- valiant soldiers in the war against the coronavirus. We decided to buy lunch forworkers in the Covid-19 and Oncology units at Sibley Hospital in Washington DC. And we chose Panera to purchase sandwiches and salads. I spoke to Angel at the Panera location in Tenleytown, Wash DC. He made everything so easy for us-- and donated a bottle of water and chocolate chip cookie to go with each lunch. He also waved the fee to deliver the food to Sibley. Thank you Angel and Panera! Here we are with the Panera delivery in front of Sibley, weari g our face masks of course!

The staff is always super nice and very quick. I've ordered delivery and pick up multiple times and they have always been very kind and courteous. My order was mixed up once but they were quick to remedy it I'm very apologetic. Overall, a great healthy option that's fast. read more

Went with my friend to Panera today, got a Mac and cheese, is there anyway frozone is real? Because I'm pretty sure he's working in the back of the TenleyTown panera and freezing the Mac and cheese. My first bite was like sorbet, sort of a soft texture but at the same time crunchy, you know what I mean? was asked if I was twins with my friend, felt offended because I'm much more attractive....Not to add that she is pale as snow looking like Ariana grande in season 2 of Sam and Cat, and I have my .000000000009% Lathina roots! I will not be made a fool by you BARTHOLOMEW, so grassyass para tu trabaha, but your service is no longer needed....I asked for a refund when I finished my Mac and cheese, and they said no!!! What a bitch! When I asked to reheat my Mac and cheese, I was directed to a microwave, Isabella stated, "bear right next to the pick up line" I'm sorry ISABELLA! But I don't know where the F*** the microwave is I was expecting a new packet of Mac and cheese that was warm, tasty, and worth my MONEY! but I was WRONG. So thank you Isabella, I can't wait until the day that 1000 watts of radiation replaces your job! I hope you contract the bubonic plague I was also made fun of, laughed at, MAIMED and pawed at by the cashier!!! When I stayed my name "Jessica The Coolest" (which is what my friends call me) I was made a laughing stock and humiliated in front of 23 Alice deal students that were stealing my rightful moment of peace, on top of all that, my iced tea was being swarmed by flies in the beverage isle. Never coming back to the TenleyTown Panera!! read more

Panera Bread - MAC AND CHEESE AND RACIST CASHIER - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came here to get my usual, the steak and white cheddar cheese panini (ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!) and the green tea. Came when school just got let out so it was unbearably busy. So can't say I'll ever return around that time. I did try out the kiosk ordering for the first time. Was worth it because I was able to skip the long lines. Overall decent but again, I'll make sure to avoid the crowds. read more

Great experience! The mac and cheese sandwich was incredible. The toasting of the sandwich was perfectly soft with a crunchy edge. I got the pick two with a Caesar salad also and an iced coffee. The meal left nothing to be desired. The portions were big and worth the price! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

Instead of writing a review I should be calling the board of health. Disgusting tables floors counters ... and to top it off after I got the code to the locked bathroom I literally walked into a room with shit all over the toilet and wall behind the toilet.

I went into Panera today after leaving the hospital with broken foot. My credit card wasn't working and not only was your employee Kaylee so very very help and kind and but she rushed my order. She is such a valuable asset to your company that I hope you recognize her for her dedication and kindness to your customers. read more

Just stopped here for a quick muffin and an iced coffee before I headed to a nearby meeting. There wasn't too much of a line around 8 am on a weekday and it moved very quickly. Iced coffee was fine but the setup is a bit odd since you serve yourself but the iced coffee/sugar are located across the restaurant from the milk/cream so it was a bit confusing. The muffin was oddly a bit hard/stale even that early in the morning so not sure what's up with that. Everyone was really friendly and they have free wi-fi so it's not a bad spot to kill a little time. read more

Panera Bread - Blueberry Muffin - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's really difficult to state just how bad this panera is. They literally do nothing well. It's in an incredibly convenient place for me but I've avoided going there for a year because every time I did, something would go wrong. You'd think by chance after 20 visits they'd get lucky and do things correctly at least once. But no. Don't even bother ordering ahead here. Your order will either be wrong or stolen. read more

Service, taste, temperature, quality and timing of pick up/online order were all great. The tomato soup, fuji apple salad, turkey chili and turkey avocado BLT were tasty. I would recommend this location. read more

This location has gone high-tech! There was one human cashier but six or more kiosks, where a customer can choose items to order, including customizations. The kiosks where the best way to see pictures of all the menu items. My order consisted of three whole salads. The size is definitely substantial, but not all salads are created equal. The kale Caesar was kind of meh. The Thai chicken was okay, but it could have used more peanut sauce. The turkey cobb was probably the best. All the salads came with a hunk of bread, even though that wasn't apparent on the kiosk description. Definitely busy on a weekday at lunchtime, but there did seem to be some spots around 1 p.m. read more

It's finally open! There's little one can say about a chain, but this is a very welcome addition to Tenleytown, where the many students now have a fairly healthy and affordable option to add to the pizza and Chinese joints in the area. Especially with the fairly new Tenleytown Library across the street, I like how the Tenleytown area is shaping up. It's super cold in here, so bring a sweater or cardigan if you're planning to park yourself here for a study session. I also had some trouble picking up a 3G signal in the rear end of the restaurant, so sit in the front if you're a Verizon user. They do have free wireless, but I kept getting kicked out of the connection on my phone and needed to reconnect every time my phone dozed off. read more

Very disorganized. Rapid pickup is not always rapid. When someone shows you their order and it's past pickup time you take care of them to tell someone there is one person handling one task and hardly anyone waiting at main register should indicate a redeployment is in l 050720. They are still not a shining example.? read more

I did not feel safe today. First, they have removed the option for ordering from your table. This meant that if i wanted to eat outside I would have to go in or order takeout, wasting packaging. I opted to go in and order at a kiosk. There were no numbers available, which meant I had to wait inside a restaurant full of unmasked people dining in for my order to be ready. Third, and he one way arrows to leave led me through the dining room full of unmasked people. When I finally got outside, 3 of the tables were taken up by people eating chic-fil-a and other nonPanera restaurants. I probably won't be back. read more

Went here for lunch to make and pick up lunch orders for 25 people. Had to pay for street parking which sucked, buts that's DC for you. I wish I would've called the order in, because a couple of the orders was messed up (I never got mine) and I waited an extra 10 minutes after my order was done because the order pick up screen never had my name on it. On a better note, the rest of the group was satisfied, I guess that counts for something. Word of advice, do everything online or in advance. read more

Stopped there with my nephew today. We ordered two Pick 2 meals. I was not gioven a receipt and questioned the near $40 charge. The cashier insisted it was correct. We were in a rush so I did not have time to question it further. Later, I realized she had charged us for each item separately costing us about $10 more than we should have been charged. read more

Love this location! Everyone was super friendly and the food delicious. Nice quiet atmosphere.

I find that most Panera's are terribly run -- there are so many errors with orders not to mention they are never ready when they promise. At this Panera in Tenleytown today I placed an online order for 10 sandwiches. So i have my online receipt via email confirming the exact order and time. The order said it would take one hour, so I show up at the designated time and they simply tell me they didn't get the order, i show them the email with confirmation but still I'm given a shoulder shrug. They tell me it will take ten minutes to prepare but I have an Uber waiting outside so I say I have to go and they'll deliver it. Mid-delivery they call to say, God knows why, that 80% of the order had actually already been made but they didn't have the right bread for the rest. Why they wouldn't call when they ran out of the right bread during preparation, why they don't communicate to managers there's a problem with an order so that one doesn't leave empty-handed is baffling. Whatever you think about Starbucks, the efficiency and customer-service is a million times better. read more

Lost quality behind the counter. Everything in the eatery is just fine and they have a really nice (idea) outdoor seeting though the sidewalk pedestrian flows busy, pavement somewhat uncared-for. College croud not many grow up as you would expect. read more

Ok, where normally this Panera is pretty on point I experienced something is worth mentioning. I personally love the treatment I get when I visit this place. I do I quite frequently because it is across the street from my place of work. However, today the person making my order selected 'dine in' instead of 'carry out'. This is a simple fix, no problem and definitely not why I am leaving a review. It seems that she came over to assist with the food distribution then noticed and tried to fix it. The lead cook/ food technician kept harping on her mistake while I was standing there. Not once twice but three times, and made the lady who took my order visibly uncomfortable along with myself. That was very unprofessional and it almost made me want to dine in just to stop the comments. I have been very happy with service up until today... still a great place but that has to stop. Food is always well prepared and the customer service is actually better than most Paneras. read more

I came in for breakfast to eat in this morning. I normally get my food to go as I work across the street. The food is usually decent although not always consistent. However, I ate in the dining room since I was early for work. The line manager this morning was so rude to his staff in the kitchen. I was there at approximately 1030AM for about 45 minutes, and he was loudly yelling to ask his line cook why there was so many eggs being cooked. He then screamed he was going to take out the cost of his eggs of his paycheck. I also heard him loudly chastising him for other things as well. Clearly, he was learning, or the manager is a poor teacher (or both). His interactions the entire time I was in the cafe was loud, overbearing and unnecessary. It was very disheartening to listen to people being treated like that, and it was clean the other patrons were bothered as well. I felt bad for the line cook. The woman who usually takes my order at the front is absolutely lovely. My sandwich this morning was cooked well and made to order correctly- ham, cheese, and overeasy egg on a asiago bagel. I was trying to have a relaxing morning, unsuccessful... read more

This is the worst Panera I have ever been to. A shame because it is about 150 feet from my office. Panera has raised its prices and gotten super chintzy on the ingredients. I hate it when you get a sandwich and they give you the end of a tomato;or the end of the bread;or the bottom of the soup which tastes burned. This place is my last resort . read more

I've visited Panera Bread in Tenleytown many a time over the past couple of years. I'm always a fan of the food - it's always fresh and tasty. The service has been hit or miss here - sometimes the servers are friendly and other times, the service is mediocre or worse. Overall, though, Panera Bread is great - good food, nice and clean restaurant, and plenty of options. The chicken caesar salad is to die for! read more

I used to eat here a few times a week. Now it seems like something always goes wrong with my order and/or I have to deal with awful customer service just to get my overpriced food out the door. Because of this, I have vowed not to spend another dollar here and have been telling all my coworkers in the neighborhood about why they should do the same. One night after walking to panera in the pouring rain and having my sandwich missing most ingredients, I finally got my order that was supposed to be right. I walked up to the pick up counter to get my food and check the sandwich. Right after I walked up to the counter and started checking my food, I was asked to move by an associated on the floor. I figured she needed to just get around me, so I got even closer to the counter so she could move around me (there wasn't anything or anyone behind me). She just kept staring at me and then asked me again to move because she needed the entire counter for who knows what. What?!?!?!? It's more than 4 feet long....why can't I use a small portion of that to double check the accuracy of my previously messed up order?!?! There wasn't even anything else on the counter besides my sandwich. Whenever I've asked to talk to a manager about the experiences I've had, it often takes 15+ minutes for an associate to find one to talk to me. They've been just dandy at addressing the situations or refunding my money, but waiting 15+ minutes over a situation I'm already mad about really doesn't help the situation. The final straw was another time when my sandwich was really messed up and I asked for it to be redone. An associated named Tanya began derogatorily talking about me with profanity behind the counter - loudly enough that I could hear it word for word. Not once did she actually talk TO me or offer to help remedy the situation, she just decided to talk about me to the entire store. Bye Panera!! It was somewhat nice while it lasted! read more

Very impressed with the customer service here. They bring the food to your table via a tracker they hand you with your order. They have self check kiosk as well. They even picked up my plates when I was done and everyone seamed happy. Best Panera I have been to. read more
