Stopped by for lunch when I lost power. We were able to find seats and order easily on our phone. The order took a long time and my sandwich was cold in the middle and my wife's soup was over salted and inedible. read more

JORDAN is phenomenal customer service friendly, outgoing as the cashier. And Bree who made my a Sandwich takes great care to build a sandwich that takes it from good to extraordinary. I just love this Panera and this new crew is just icing on the cake.. Give them a raise pkease!!! read more

I came here today to get a drink from the unlimited sip club I signed up for. I was thrilled to find out that they have almond milk sitting out for the iced coffee (or hot coffee/tea). I hate having to spend the extra money just because I cannot handle drinking cows milk. I cannot wait to come back for another drink. read more

Panera Bread is good. Love the Pic Two and the Bowls. The Smoothies are good too. For a touch of decadence you may add a cinnamon roll. The Sip Club is a good investment for a few years time. read more

Ok. The chain itself is great. I love the vibe and the menu. But they hire the STUPIDEST employees oh my god. I swear I have never had an order I was fully satisfied with. Especially at this location the workers are very unprofessional and untrained. The lemons were literally rotting in the drink station and the Pepsi looked like pee. read more

I ordered Box Lunches for a meeting roughly 22 hrs in advance. Online ordering was easy, the food arrived on time, the delivery person was wonderful, and everyone loved their meals! I highly recommend this Panera location for all of your catering needs. This box lunches are very convenient and there are many options to choose from. read more

I always order the grilled cheese n tomato soup special for $5.99 it's hard to beat and always good. If you stop a lot the $8.99 monthly coffee club is a great deal for unlimited coffee daily read more

My review is totally about the catering. I've been ordering bagel packs and coffee totes from Panera, Waterfront location, for about 9 years a few times a year. Every single time the service is outstanding. Be it through a phone order or online, everything is always on point. With delivery they come in and set up everything as well. A really great help for what is typically a hectic morning at work. Today I ordered late...I needed three coffee totes and four bagel packs in an hour. I hesitated even ordering because I felt like they may not be able to fill the order with the short notice. There wasn't even a hesitation when I phoned in the order at 6:15 AM. I always get a follow up phone call to check to see if service and quality of order was up to par. Nice touch! If you need catering bagels, coffee, etc definitely use this location. I will continue!! read more

Just waited 20+ min for breakfast sandwich in a mostly empty restaurant. Customer next to me waited 10 min to be helped at an empty register. I still don't have my food so who knows what it will actually taste like. Update: finally received my food at 22 minutes and it was wrong. read more

Pay your employees better and you'll get better employees. Rough crew in Homestead PA. Generally unpleasant, understaffed, dirty store and low quality product given to the customer. Bad experience in every way. read more

The night crew there at 7:45pm tonight (feb. 28th) were disrespectful , slow, loud & did not care about my order. My order was wrong, paid for a bread bowl, was told they diddnt have one & then they walked away after I already paid for one, not offering anything in return or a refund. They also did not give me the drink I ordered, i had to remind them how to do their jobs and hand me a cup. Would not recommend this place, will not be back. read more

This use to be my go to Panera Bread. When I worked in the area I would stop here before work to grab my breakfast and then stop to get my lunch as well. I was happy when I left the area and moved on to bigger and better things. My waist also appreciated it. Those scones are delicious. I recently stopped back here when I was shopping and was pleasantly surprised. With all my new allergies I came in here hoping to get some bread. Not knowing, nor doing my homework before I showed up, I asked the manager if one particular bread had corn syrup in it or not. Not knowing the answer herself, she was kind enough to pull out a binder that contained all of their recipes, ingredients included. After looking through it for a few minutes I was able to select the bread I wanted. They will sliced the bread thick or thin for you there right now. If you would rather slice yourself, I am sure they will wrap it up and you can go on your way. Yes, it's true, it may be a bit more expensive than your cheap bread on the grocery store shelf. But it is much better tasting. read more

It has been several months since I visited Panera Bread. It is a bakery cafe chain with free WiFi. Prices are reality the same although from time to time they change their seasonal offerings. Food is fair. You order and you are given a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. They use real dishes and silverware. The menu gives you a calorie count of each item you are purchasing. One of the popular feature items is you pick two where you can have half a sandwich or salad or soup in a pair of two of those items. You also get with it a choice of an apple or roll and you can add a dessert for $1.00 I was disappointed to learn they had removed the French onion soup from the menu. I asked about this removal only to learn there was something wrong with one of the ingredients. The other disappointment was that this year they are not making gingerbread men which are one of my favorite holiday treats. Instead they are offering a holiday themed sugar cookie. I normally eat here when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to sit down at a regular restaurant. They do use fresh breads and they do cater. You can also order your holiday baked goods or breads for your parties. read more

This could have been a lot better. I ordered a tea but they didn't have hot water for it. They got me some water from the kitchen, and that was probably the worst tea I've had in my life. It looked like the employee at the register was high, I ordered a sandwich and a soup but instead I got chips, which I didn't order. And no soup. The sandwich was okay, but I had better in other locations. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Call me bourgeois but I lived off cinnamon crunch Bagels all throughout college. They're delicious. I could also live off their chicken and wild rice soup as if the bowl wasn't edible (optinal) people would look at me weird. I've never met a Panera I didn't like. They also have delicious smoothies and cookies, and I just want to take the whole menu home. read more

Today there was a Christmas parade on 8th Street which created a lot of traffic so, we decided to stay at the Waterfront for lunch and chose Panera. I had a You Pick 2, and the stand out was the Autumn Squash soup. It tasted great, and it was so hot that it thoroughly warmed me up! Good stuff!! read more

Since it's at the waterfront, there is always somewhere to park. When you walk in there are a good amount of places to sit, but I wish there more booths because those seats fill up quick. I see a lot of people coming here with computers. The customer service is alright. During the peak of lunch while I was trying to wait to listen for my name to be called, an employee comes through to vacuum. I understand the need for a clean carpet, but there was no spill or excessive mess to be cleaned up. This seemed like it was a routine clean up, which just interrupted many people's lunchtime. Also, when I was ordering a pastry, the employee made me tell her ahead of time which pastry I wanted to get, and usually I was able to be charged for the pastry and then I have a chance to pick out whatever pastry I wanted. The broccoli cheddar soup is my favorite and the Thai salad was good too, but I like the southwest lime chicken more. I like that the menu includes the calories of each item. read more

Bagels are so good especially if you manage to catch them when they are fresh. Asiago cheese, cranberry vanilla, and multigrain are the BEST!!! Their cinnamon rolls are amazing - but high in calories. So save that one for a special occasion. read more

the cashiers working on november 6 at 7pm were extremely rude to me. one of them has been rude to me the past few times i've gone.

Panera has a cafeteria-like system. You order, they give you a pager that vibrates when your food is done, you pick it up at the front counter, when you're done you bring your dishes to a collecting area with trashcans. I have had many great experiences in this Panera when eating there. When it comes to getting food to go, I have had no good experiences. Just about everytime I order food to go I end up with someone elses food. It is 10x more frustrating to get home, open the bag, and see your order is incorrect. Your only options are to eat it, go back to get it corrected, or toss it. None of these options are good. I gave them +5 stars for good in-house experiences, -3 for bad to-go service, and +1 for being willing to remake your food on the house when they send you home with the wrong order. read more

My name is Hitt, I'm from Pittsburgh PA. I do many things but one of the things I like to do is experience everything I humanly can from foods to places plus people and things. Rather than write a long review and clutter the reviews with anymore long reviews (no knock, you guys are great) I'm just gonna get right to the point... This place? Get white girl wasted on paninis and soup. Wifi for those piczZZ North Hills price but on the waterfront. Shut up about your diet and get a cookie. And a bagel for the morning. read more

I ordered a classic Asiago cheese bagel toasted and sliced with cream cheese. Very good. It's a great place to study and homework in. Pretty reasonable prices read more

Really nice location. Clean, calm, and friendly. I just got great service from the girl at the register with braids and a headband. I always love the food from here, too! read more

I was dragged here due to Kay holding in her possession a Panera gift card and because we needed to meet with some folks from the 3 Rivers Ferret Council. Unsure as to what to order, I went with a tuna salad sandwich on rye that left me perplexed as to why Panera's bread is so well-liked. This was spongy, Value Time-grade material one could buy a loaf of at Wal-Mart for less than the price of the entire sandwich. The tuna salad was mushy and only mildly flavorful, tasting like something dished out at a hospital cafeteria at lunchtime. Panera's saving grace (aside from free wi-fi and a self-serve soda fountain) is its chocolate chip cookies. Fall-apart toasty, I kept wondering where the chocolate ended and the cookie began during every bite. The chips had a deep cocoa flavor, and the cookie itself had a lightly crunchy exterior to offset the plush, gooey, humid interiors. The facilities were well-kept, the employees were friendly, and the service was adequate. We were all amused by the feisty, colorful, and upbeat elderly cashier/order-taker who kept giving patrons movie recommendations a la Gene Shalit. read more

their food is always pretty good but the customer service is so bad it's almost funny. every single employee is either rude or extremely incompetent read more

got a bowl of chicken noodle and a bowl of broccoli cheddar. yall really making people pay $7 for a 4 bite bowl of soup. feel robbed every time. soups solid tho. read more

It seems silly to rate a chain so I won't talk about the food. I just love coming to this Panera because it's right by Barnes and Noble. I recently started getting into the Panera card. Compared to the other Paneras I have to say that this one seems cleaner, bigger, and all around nicer. Of course I would never go out of my way to get here but if you're at Barnes and Noble and aren't happy with the sandwiches there (which I was) I would venture on over to Panera. read more

I Love all Panera, equally! I am def a fan of this easy, better than fast food, time-killing eatery. Great place for a lunch social/date with good eats and a good place to sit and talk for a while or to get some work done between appointments. PROS: Great Food; Free WiFi (though some locations are limited to 30 minutes during the lunch hour); Seating is always tricky at the lunch hour. CONS: pricey for salads, soup and sandwiches; tables should be wiped more frequently--even if you have to ask a newly seated guest if they would like it wiped, the tables should be wiped! For Pete's sake, give a fork with the Mac and Cheese, not a SPOON! lol read more

It's the same Panera food you've had before. I like the other ones better as they are often faster at preparing food than this one. That said the food is fine and the staff is nice enough. They have warm cookies for $2.00. That is a nice feature. read more

Had lunch here after getting my nails done in the Waterfront. It's your standard Panera - lots of seating and a sunny room from all the windows. Our food was made very quickly, even though the place was pretty busy (lunch on a Saturday). Chicken noodle soup is tasty, but there was too much broth and not enough noodles and chicken. I tried their Sierra Chicken sandwich for the first time, and it was pretty good. It's very flavorful, I like whatever they put in their chipotle mayo. It was a salty meal though - definitely had me running to the fountain machine to get more water. If I have to get a quick, light meal and only chain options are available, Panera is my best choice. It's definitely predictable and usually tasty. But there isn't much special about it, of course. read more

It's Panera. They offer good food when you are out shopping - a step above fast food. This location isn't their finest. The produce was sad and the bathrooms were remarkably dirty. There were plenty of available tables (also dirty). read more

I like Panera Bread, and when I found myself at Homestead with less than an hour to get linner (cross between lunch and dinner) and saw Panera. Problem solved. Great! Since it was about 3:30 on a Friday, the place was fairly empty. The girl at the counter can only be described as surly. From the snappish "Here or to go? Is that for here or to go?" (apparently I didn't answer quickly enough for her), to her giving me a child's cup (I later learned it was the size they give when you want a water--I suspect she wanted a drink and used the cup I paid for to use it when she was on break) when I deigned to ask her about getting a cup, it was a miserable experience. There was a girl halfheartedly putting around a broom/silent butler and wiping off tabletops. The table I went to was not only dirty but really sticky, like someone dumped a coke on the top of it. I asked her if she could wipe it off for me. What I got was an eye roll and a heavy sigh. I told her "never mind", went to the bathroom, wet a couple of Kleenex and did it myself. By that time my food was up. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich. It was good, the bread was fresh, a generous portion of tuna. The food I would give a 4, the cleanliness/attentiveness to cleanliness a 2-3, and the service a zero. read more

No chicken on my Asian sesame salad, the lady in front of us was given a cold pizza and needed it recooked. Just bad experiences each time here compared to other Panera location.

Panera bread has to be the most inconsistent restaurant I have ever been to. I have posted two pictures of the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad. The first one looks delicious the second one looks like they could've used a smaller bowl. It did not even look appetizing. read more

Three star average and I now know why. Picture this....you have the food menu all to the one side of the counter with 2 registers and you have all your baked goods to the other side with two more registers. I just spent $50 on food and decide I am going to purchase some baked goods to go. The woman asks if she can help me and I say yes I'd like to get some bagels and pastries. She tells me she can help me at the registers on the side completely away from the bakery display and selection. How am I suppose to tell you what I want? I state this to her and she ignores me and proceeds to ring up 3 other customers. Meanwhile all these employees are muddling about other tasks not once asking if I needed help! Finally another employee asks to help me again at the registers completely away from the baked goods! Again I tell them how can you help me down there when I can't tell you what I want groin the direction UP here! She proceeds to tell me she did not appreciate my tone...LMAO little girl do your job and help the customer is what I am thinking. Finally what seems to be a manager or lead comes over and takes my selection and enters it in the register by the baked goods NOW HOW HARD WAS THAT! read more

They took forever to work on a very simple little order and then to top off that incompetence, they gave me something other than what I asked for. Plus, the place was swarming with flies--imagine a slightly milder version of The Amityville Horror and you'll get a pretty good picture. It must be filthy back there. Save yourself the time, money, and nausea...go to a different location. This one is poorly maintained and very badly managed. read more

Sometimes I use Panera as a lunch place and sometimes I use it as an office. Either way I tend to spend a lot of time at Panera. If I am meeting someone I prefer to sit in a booth for more privacy. I like the homey feel of Panera and love it when I get to sit by the fireplace. The bakery items are always fresh. It's nice that they keep the chocolate chip cookies warm. Yum! The food is unpredictable. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not so good. The serving sizes on their soups and salads have shrunk considerably in the last year. They do have a good selection of food. They keep adding healthier options. Their recent addition is Soba Noodle Bowls. They look good but I sense a lot of sodium hides in them. If you need a place to meet someone to chat or get some work done it is a good place. Food wise there are many other choices to consider around the city for better food at the same prices. read more

This is by far my favorite Panera location in the Pittsburgh area. Friendly, plenty of room to sit, and good quality food & coffee. Panera is a great place to hang out and read the news - they even have free WiFi! Try their toasted sandwiches, especially the chicken bacon dijon. read more
