Great little spot. The board gamers were a little strange but I guess this is the food equivalent of a Starbucks. People apparently come here to eat and hang out. From battleship to magic card games, you will likely sit next to some gaming group. The plus side is that they are not loud or obnoxious and pretty much keep to themselves so as to not disturb other eaters. The panini was good but I would like to try one of their soup options next time. All in all, a nice place to grab fast food that doesn't taste like it's been microwaved. read more

Eat breakfast at Panera today with a friend - food was good. Very clean and well staffed. Great Customer Service and very friendly. Will be back! read more

This is my second time coming into Panera Bread. The other time I went to Panera Bread was in Ohio and their service over there was great! Friendly service in Ohio is similar to the great service I had in the Bay Terrace branch. I bought the sandwich combo and this is my first time I had a cashier pull out the nutrients facts in order to find out if it has my specific allergic ingredient. I reckon the other restaurants I have been to either knew what was in the dish or guessed. I had a 1/2 almond chicken sandwich, a cup of tortilla chicken soup, and a piece of bread for $8.15. The sandwich was great although I was annoyed by the fact that it was only a half. The soup was great too. I liked the crunch I received from the taco chips in the soup. For $8.15, I don't think I got my money's worth. It is something good to have once in a while. read more

Typical bagels, breads, muffins. Everything is freshly baked. My go-to for breakfast because of their soufflés....amazing!! They have 4 choices- four cheese, sun dried tomato w feta, spinach & bacon, spinach & artichoke. They only serve them until 11am, so get there early. I have a caramel latte on the side, & Im ready to start my day! I love their cookies, and lunch panini's are pretty good as well. read more

Yumm, so happy there is a Panera closer to me then all the way out in Long Island! Location is really good, you can do other things beside do nothing at Panera. Staff is really nice and very helpful. Food is the same as every other Panera (I love love love Panera's tomato soup. like seriously loveee, I always try to get something else but without fail get tomato soup) My only lament is that it gets really busy and hard to find seats :( I wish they made it bigger! read more

Typical Panera Bread.. Only thing that sucked was the speed of service. Deifnitely took me waaaay too long to get a bowl of soup... literally just a bowl of soup took 10 minutes. read more

This Panera opened recently in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, and is a great addition to the outdoor mall. The decor is modern and appealing, and the space is much larger than it seems from the outside. It is typically busy, but there is plenty of seating. True to the bakery they boast to be, they sell loaves of bread as well as sandwiches and soups. The soups here are great, and I'd recommend getting the bread bowl. I usually get the french onion which can not be beat. I've also tried to broccoli cheddar, and it's very good, too. The sandwiches are great, too, although they can be a little dry. The sandwiches come with chips or a roll/baguette of some sort, in case you didn't get enough carbs in your sandwich. I'd recommend trying the half sandwich combo with a bowl of soup, because the sandwiches are a decent size and the soup will make up for some of its dryness. Lastly, the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They are young, but unlike the young staff at other stores, they are enthusiastic and eager to please. If you happen to be in Bay Terrace for whatever reason and want to grab a bite to eat, I'd suggest coming here. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. This place is so unsanitary. My metal spoon still had stains on it and felt sticky. They didn't give my baguette and when I asked for it, they set it on the counter for me. No employee should ever place someone's food directly on the counter like that. It is absolutely disgusting. I will not be going back to this location. read more

Staff are very friendly. Thought pastas were part of pick 2 but guess not so he offered to do half the price for the salad, so they do give you options. Waiting can be quite a while especially during lunch hour. Dining area is carpeted. Wanted to spend more time to study but it was so dirty, there were utensils on the floor. Food is great though! read more

So this is the 2nd time i have came to this Panera Bread. The 1st time service was poor, the food not that great and a long wait in line with 1 cashier working. I chose to give them another chance, and not review on my 1st visit. Im glad i did. Todays service and food was leaps and bounds better than the 1st. The wait was short, only 1 person ahead of me. When i placed my order, napa almond chicken sandwich and a peach blueberry smoothie i asked if the smoothie could be extra thick. The cashier said yes, little did i know she would be making my smoothie! Now on to the food. The sandwich was delicious! Very fresh and tasty. The smoothie was great, just what i asked for. Cool and refreshing on a hot NYC day! All in all I'm glad i came back, and will be returning in the future. read more

Panera is ok, I think overpriced for what you get, but not bad... A latte or cappuccino is a better choice than a simple coffee, and the chicken with avocado sandwich is my to go, although I only go there when I need a quick bite for the run read more

I have had a very good experience overall with curbside delivery at this Bayside location. Food is fresh and delicious, staff is friendly and competent. Never have to wait long once you let them know you are there. Very happy customer. read more

Great food. But shelves often bare by 5pm. Call and ask for Peter the GM if u want them to make more food. read more

Panera Bread - Empty shelves - Sandwiches Near Me - Bayside, New York

Sure, they have you check your temperature before you come in, but this place is unsanitary. Why? Not only do you clean up after yourselves, which I get, BUT NO ONE IS SANITIZING THE TABLES AFTER SOMEONE USES IT. Not only that but there is no contact tracing done since they are offering the dine in option. I should report this to the Department of Health. They are not following proper protocols. read more

Great food. I love their teas . Broccoli cheddar soup is really good. Had alot of seating

Tried their rapid order pickup and order online service for the first time. Apparently they messed things up by forgetting half of my order. Manager or some associate was pseudo efficient in fixing my order. Still had to wait for another 10 min when the whole point of doing this online order /rapid pick up thing was to save time. Make sure you check your order before you leave the store. You never know what could be missing. read more

Pretty much your typical Panera, with an added bonus. They have a private meeting room in the back which you can reserve from 2-4PM. This added benefit is great for those of you whom need to host meetings is a quiet place with WiFi and power outlets. read more

A great place to grab a cup of coffee and a great asiago cheese breakfast sandwich and catch up with a friend. Never disappointed with the food. read more

Come here all the time on the weekends for breakfast with my family. Today the cashier made it an annoying experience. Ever since they started having the high school kids work here customer service hasn't been great. Well today I told the girl that she charged me for a large coffee and not a medium when I asked for a medium. Now it's only $0.20 and I don't really care for it. But when I pointed it out she gave this attitude of "okay." And instead of asking me if I wanted the difference she just gave me a large coffee cup and didn't say anything else. read more

Love this location because they have a study corner where you can slide the glass doors for some peace and quiet. Otherwise, moms, kids and whoever else can join the usual hub bub in the main dining area. They've also added some healthy items to their menu and that is always nice. read more

I love this Panera Bread location and enjoy the great food and friendly atmosphere and staff here. I just wish they opened their dining room for breakfast at 7am as the state guidelines for NYC are today allowing for 50% capacity. I was disappointed to see the dining room opens only at 11am for lunch and dinner. I still come here for the take-out, but would rather be seating like I can do on Long Island, NY. read more

Panera is what Cosi & the like aspire to be. Tasty food, numerous menu options, above average service. Yes, this Bay Terrace location gets tons of customers but there is so much seating (including a Quiet Room) it's not like you're consistently standing around, food tray in hand, giving languid diners the Evil Eye. I like Panera's coffee (free refills!) & lemonades. The creamy tomato soup is filling and scrumptious. The brownies and cookies are decadent & delicious. And there's always the option to Bread Bowl it up. read more

I love this Panera Bread! It's spacious, clean, cozy and its fireplace is pretty darn cool. I totally take their bait every time I'm here to do some work- I start by getting a small coffee (coffee and tea come with free refills) and then eventually fall in their trap; I end up getting a soup and a sandwich and if I'm there long enough, I'll get a pastry. The free wifi and electrical outlets lure in a lot of students and writers. It's also common that people have their meetings here because of the communal tables they have available and the private quiet room they have in the back. I can't think of anything bad about the food here. If you love sandwiches, soups and paninis like me- you'll enjoy this place. They have not have a huge selection but the ones they have are quite tasty. In addition to their sandwiches, salads and soups, they also have a good selection of house-made breads and bagels, hence its name. read more

This place is cool. My one pet peeve is that the "Quiet" room in the back is often frequented by individuals who are conversing and studying. One would figure that given that individuals have a burning desire to shut the doors it means that they are going to be quiet; BUT, not the case. Other than that this place is an ordinary Panera with plenty of parking and a VERY knowledgable staff. The staff are helpful. Appears to be a popular post Bayside area High Schools hang out so keep that in mind if you are visiting around 3:00ish. Plenty of seats for a study break but I would recommend "PreCharging" your laptop as outlets are few and far between. read more

Panera is as Panera does and this location is on par with the others. A great option to fast food and this place has a lot of seating. read more

LOVE IT. I somehow always find space to sit here. i wish they had more outlets even though they have a sufficient amount. it does get kinda crowded and noisy but whatever. it seems clean and that's good enough for me. one day, i guess the manager came in to film a promo and he was super nice! he was like let me help you with that, there is a seat there, etc. when he's not there, the service is still good. people here are nice. the bathrooms are clean. i love the coffee here... but i just figured out how to make the ice coffee here by myself! i've been using the hot coffee. OMG i'm an idiot. but hey! i learned. now i'm going to celebrate by refilling more than twice. i'm like... super bad. read more

If you want to run into a classmate, teacher or neighbor you go to your local panera cause the whole town and the folks from the town over are here everyday and time of the week. I've come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The servers that take your orders can make you feel like you're being rushed and you better get to it as you are holding up the line. Or maybe it's just me being self conscious. I've ordered a sandwich once that was not what I wanted and after picking up at the counter was able to bring it back and said: "you must think I'm a liar but I really did not order this ham sandwich even though that what the receipt reads. I actually wanted to get the turkey sandwich." And guess what? They let me keep the sandwich and made me the one I wanted! We are bummed that one of the sandwiches that we frequented - the steak and cheese pressed - is no longer on the menu. There is a similar sandwich with roast beef and cheese but it's served cold and hot steamy toasted sandwiches are so much better! Supposedly it's good to get a rewards card because you can get free pastries but I haven't activated mine and even though I spend $25+ every time I go I don't use my Panera rewards card. The coffee is really good. I always leaving with a full cup (as it's self serve) before I go! Finally, the booths (if available) are most cozy and comfy to sit! read more

I have always been a fan of Panera Bread. Their coffee and pastries are delicious. I also enjoyed their salad and soup. During this visit, I saw the barista make my coffee and I have to say the baristas here are much more dedicated to their craftsmanship than the baristas at Starbucks. My coffee was made to be exactly what I wanted and they pay great attention to making coffees. The chefs that made my sandwich notified me that they are waiting for the sausage to cook and that is why my sandwich is taking a bit long to make. He even offered me a pastry because of the wait. It was great gesture to inform your customers what is going on. The manager in charge at the time of my visit was a team player. He walked around to make sure everything is order and made sure there were no garbage on the floor. This location has a great environment. read more

Bought two smoothies and they literally half assed it. They did not fill the cups... 1/4 of the cup was missing from both smoothies ... pissed wished I told hem to refund my money and give the smoothies back! read more

Food is not bad, but this location is extremely unhygienic and tend to have longer waiting time than other places. This is a definitely grab-and-go location. read more

They've installed kiosks which is ridiculous .. it's suppose to ease traffic I suppose .. but people don't know how to use them.. therefore creating more of a wait . But this review isn't for that . It's for Peter, the manager. As i stood in line waiting to pick up my self placed order .. (the employees will soon be replaceable I'm assuming lol) .. I over heard some miserable woman talking down on someone.. making herself automatically guilty of th3 things she was accusing him of. I looked to see an older lady with clearly too much of her husband's money to spend on botox... she kept instigating Peter the manager .. 2hile he just quietly helped her swipe her card as she continued running her pathetic of a human being mouth .. who knows what about .. Peter didn't say a word.. she continued offering her advise about hid career choices and apparently.. she thought he shouldn't be a manager here and she made sure she made herself clear . Needless to say .. she was a disgusting, vile, ungrateful pos... and she spoke to someone with utter disrespect .. while the poor man kept his composure so eloquently and effortlessly . I would've slapped her across the face and walked out. Peter .. sir.. I applaud your professionalism. You are what managers are made of. Thank you for dealing with insane people like that .. so that the rest of us can enjoy a damn hot cup of broccoli cheddar soup . read more

Pretty good Panera bread location. It can get pretty packed here but they have plenty of room and great staff. The food is delicious and everything is made to perfection just how it should be. The only down side to my experience was that they were out of a lot of stuff. There was no lemonade or green tea. They basically just had soda and coffee. The food came out in great time--just 4 minutes. Also, nobody was wiping down the tables as people left, and that had me a little upset, so they lose a star for that. Otherwise, it's overall a great Panera location. read more

I make this Panera my once a week at least must. I love the food and it's always been fresh for me. Managers are always involved and they definitely know their regulars. Only 2 adjusts I would recommend. First tables need to be cleaned a bit more often and supplies such as stares and lids be refreshed and resupplied; I've seen it lately happen more than not that there are no lemons for tea, milk needs to be refreshed and splendas and sugars run very low. The second would be have a few more outlets in the back area where you designate for a quiet area for those customers who come to work from their laptops. Besides this it's my favorite Panera and I visit them all over the tri state area. read more

Shame! Shame! Nobody cleans. Nobody tended to the disposal area. Piled high! One cashier even with 7 to 10 people on line. Food still seems ok, but one wonders...if nobody cares what the public area looks like, what goes on where we don't see it. read more

Love their Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and also the bread that come with it. Good place to sit down to have conversation with friends. read more

Its a nice Panera. There is not much special difference between this Panera and other shops. Now, saying that is a high compliment in that the Panera franchise is very upstanding and very good quality. Bread is excellent. Salads are substantial and the Soups are savory. But I cannot give this a four star if it meets good standards. read more

Panera Bread - Pick two - Sandwiches Near Me - Bayside, New York

I live literally 2 minutes away from this place, so the ASAP pick up is great for me, I order about 2 times a week, pastries and bread, and the bacon and egg on a brioche bun. For some reason they refuse to make enough buns for their customers, when you place an order at 8:30 am and they don't have rolls, something is radically wrong. This occurred on 4 occasions. in a 3 month period. I will no longer patronize this place, Starbucks is right across the parking lot. read more

Their food is always spot on, so 5star for that. However, i give a 3star BC the line is always long BECAUSE the cashiers r NOT fast at all.... if ut wasnt for that, id have def given a 5star. read more

This review is more of a corporate issue than relating to the particular store and I addressed this matter to the Panera Bread Headquarters 3630 S Geyer Road #100, St. Louis, MO 63127, Attn: Customer Service Department Dear Sir or Madam: I must admit disappointment, not necessarily with one of your products, but rather with the veracity of your Customer Service Department. I have been a long time Panera Bread customer, regularly enjoying my daily Café Mocha, most often at the local store in Bayside, New York. Not that long ago, the manager of the Bay Terrace store advised the Panera Bread Corporate Office was cancelling the Café Mocha. Given this has been a staple of my daily routine, I immediately contacted the Panera Customer Service Department by phone. After over 45 minutes on hold, I finally spoke to a representative who assured me the Café Mocha was not being cancelled on a corporate level but most probably being cancelled by my particular store. I returned to speak with the manager of the Bay Terrace store who again assured me, it was not his store's decision, but rather a corporate decision. A short while later, I found myself in a different town area and visited another of your establishments in order to order a Café Mocha. Upon being served, the cashier advised with some dismay, "Enjoy it while you can, they're cancelling the Café Mocha". My complaint is two fold: 1. Why are you cancelling the Café Mocha, and would you please reverse this decision? I'm reasonably certain I'm not the only person who enjoys this particular beverage, and as a long-time customer, I would particularly appreciate being able to continue my daily brew. 2. Equally as important is my complaint about your customer service. In no realm should it take ¾ of an hour before speaking with a customer service. If that wasn't sufficient reason to compound my irritation, even more vexing was the fact the customer service representative responded with a bold face lie, attempting to turn the "blame" for the cancellation on the particular store and not the corporate office. Let's face it, if I wanted that type of customer dis-service, I would have gone to Starbucks. Please advise. The Panera Bread customer service send a boiler plate response saying sorry to see me go, not addressing their blatant disregard for the truth. Jeesh, it's getting so bad, I might well go to Dunkin'. read more

Their rapid pick up service works really well. Always ready and accurate. Love the avocado, egg white, spinach breakfast sandwich. So many items are customizable which I don't think many people know about. Plus when you customize on the app you can see how the calorie count changes. Very big location with a fireplace inside so I'm looking forward to when we can eat inside again. A big shout out to Christine who works in the food prep area. She is sweet, works hard, and remembers what you like. read more
