    Lots of construction out front on the facade and sidewalk, but they're still open. Inside, busy and a lot of people with laptops grinding away. Ordering kiosks upfront (3) for those who don't want to talk to a person, and cashiers more towards the back. Lots of bagels and pastries up on the wall behind, though after a day there, not sure how soft they are anymore. Tried the flatbread pizza - meh, too smoky for the pepperoni for me, and the chocolate chip cookie didn't make a "meltingly good" or "crisp/chips ahoy" stand... instead it was sorta soft, sorta chewy and overall didn't satisfy for a $2.75 cookie. You get something much bigger at Le Pain for that price. Is it ok? Yeah, but I definitely get better value away.

    Still under cooked chicken
    Kadian M.

    This location just gave me what seems to be raw chicken skin. In my chipotle chicken avocado sandwich. That's disgusting. The chicken is always an issue on this sandwich never cooked completely. Seems like it's for animal chow. This time I got it to see if they would have a better day. Nope they gave me chicken skin and barely cooked chicken. I tried to bake it some more at home because I was too far to go back for a replacement. Baking it didn't help because I burnt the bread and the chicken was still needing another 15-20 mins of cooking. Never ordering that again. Now because it was a pick two I had broccoli cheddar soup that was the same good. I also ordered a 2nd pick two just in case the chipotle chicken sandwich was bad. The Tuna is always my go to because they don't mess it up. The tuna sandwich has a different bread now and I hate it. The sandwich was great because of its original bread and how it complimented the tuna and greens. Now you get regular multi grain bread slices like I made the sandwich at home. I spend a lot of money at Panera because they were consistent never in my life did I imagine taking them out of my fave to grab a healthy but good bite. I'm so saddened. I have photos

    Vegan Avocado Sandwich with Chips
    Kevin D.

    During my visit, I experience good customer service. This is actually my second time visiting this Panera location and asking about a Vegan option. An employee suggests a custom sandwich order which consists of Avocado, cucumbers, greens, and onions. The sandwich comes with a surprise, a random hint of jam, which offers a sweet flavor I appreciate in the sandwich and that I actually want more of with every passing bite without it. The chips are tasty, light enough to eat a bag or two.

    Egg white breakfast sandwich

    This is my go to Panera in addition to the Edison one in NJ. The staff are always Nice and accommodating if you have any issues with the food and the portions are good. I've gone to many other paneras in different states And the ones in New Jersey seem to be really good and especially the West Orange one. I love it that they have Wi-Fi and a Fireplace and comfortable seats. My egg white breakfast sándwich was amazing on a bagel.

    Good portions, good food, clean location, ample parking. I love that they have shaded outdoor dining too. Minus one star for the malfunctioning self-order kiosks. The line at the register was long so my group used the kiosk to speed things up but there was an error with the card reader. It's not a huge issue but still inconvenience that resulted in a few people receiving their food a lot earlier than others. I hope this gets fixed.

    Iced green tea... Refreshing...
    Kimberly S.

    Stopped in Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. This was my first time at this particular Panera location. Nothing particular stood out it's your typical Panera. I ordered at the counter for three of us while we were waiting on 1 other person to join. We ordered two of the pick twos and an onion soup bread bowl and drinks. It really wasn't that busy and there were plenty of empty tables but it seemed to take quite a while for our order to arrive. When the other person arrived she placed her order at the self serve kiosk. Her order was delivered to our table and when she was almost done she realized she never got the drink she ordered. Not really a big deal she went back up and they gave her a cup for the iced tea. I got my my usual a pick two with half chicken salad sandwich and the broccoli cheddar soup. It was good as usual and I had their iced green tea. So nothing much remarkable here if you like Panera it's a good spot...

    Ten veggie soup. Very good Turkey and bacon sandwiche
    Mike J.

    Surprised the have such a low rating here. I frequent to Panera many times. Amd this is one of the cleaner and more relaxed Panera's. Always the valued pick 2 Today tried the lowest calorie soup on menu. The 10 veggie soup. Very tasty. Great vegetable flavor. Will get this for a while verses my broc and cheddar usual. My turkey and bacon was good. Always fresh and just enough with the soup. The place can be cleaner. They do have people cleaning tables. But there are times I come and tables are not wiped. However I never had an issue when asked to have a table wiped. Good internet signal and decent music in there air makes for a relaxing atmosphere to eat in.

We ended our visit with a slice of cherry pie with ice cream and loved how light and not too sweet it was! Service was great, attentive, friendly and pleasant. Would come again!

    I've been wanting try this place for a long time but the historical reviews threw me off because…read morethey seem so inconsistent. Well, this week I got sick and I needed soup, so I took the plunge and ordered the standard chicken soup. I was very happy. It was clearly made from scratch. Flavor was great. I also tried the special which was grilled chicken with rice and pigeon peas, - while this was a high-quality meal, the grilled chicken breast was a little too "healthy vibes" for me personally - I prefer bone in chicken or dark meat. However, the rice with peas was great. It was served with a good amount of avocado and the seasoning of the chicken was good. So today: we ordered the Greek orzo soup and a lamb Gyro with fries -- the Greek orzo soup was absolutely delicious - flavor, texture, perfect. clearly made from scratch. The Gyro was delicious- flavors on point, the Tzatziki was very good - ratio of vegetables to lamb to Pita to sauce - all very good. I could not be more excited to have this place down the block from my house!

I tasted piece of the chicken in the chicken salad & it was really good & well flavored so it was kind of puzzling to me that The chicken thigh lacked flavor even though the chicken itself was fresh & delicately grilled, vegetables was great especially the baby potatoes, rice was meh! But it came with no kind of sauce. There were at least 3 tables celebrating their birthday which I took for a good sign & place appears child friendly without being annoying so it seems like a great neighborhood spot. With good atmosphere & great service, & fresh ingredients, I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of flavors in several dishes but I would still cautiously recommend this place if you live in the neighborhood but I would not go out of my way to get to this restaurant.

The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

I wasn't sure if it opened as I didn't see anybody inside at first. Then we opened the door and stepped inside, and called out. We found the employee sitting behind the counter, but the counter was so big that it obstructed our view of knowing they were there. Upon looking around, they had a nice assortment of pastries and baked goods, along with wrapped sandwiches from earlier in the day. I spied the baked goods section and could not resist getting a chocolate chip cookie as we eyed their baked goods. We decided to share since I need to watch my calories during the holidays. I want to celebrate Christmas, and not look like Santa. The employee there made two lattes for us and asked if we would like her to heat the cookie. Yes, please and thank you! Upon sitting down, I noticed the big grease mark on the napkin, so it should be noted that their cookies are made with high butter content. The chocolate chip cookie, though generously chipped and served delightfully warm, fell a bit flat on flavor. Similarly, the latte, while hot and satisfying, was overwhelmingly milky, lacking the robust punch of a quality espresso. Here is how it ranked: Chocolate Chip cookie: 3.5/5 stars. Good texture, high butter content, but flat taste. Latte: 3.5/5 stars. Nice and hot, good alternative milk option, but too mild on espresso. This cafe is a perfectly pleasant spot for a moment of refuge and a hot cup of something, especially if you're not concerned with a full-bodied coffee experience or a truly exceptional baked good. If you're out and about needing to warm up, it does the trick.
