My fisted french rolls tossed naked in a bag

"Order ahead" order was completely wrong. Got too much of some things and flat didnt receive several things. More than half the order wasn't labeled, so no idea what was what. When asking for my chips and bread the guy in the back fisted my rolls and tossed them in a bag.... HORRIBLE

I was skeptical given some of the bad reviews but this Panera is actually quite nice! Super clean inside, staff is very polite, and overall a pleasant experience. Food is good as long as you pick carefully - id avoid all their baked goods (croissant was bleh) but their salads and soups are always delicious. Mac n cheese is also 11/10. There's also great wifi in case you need to get work done for a little bit!

Generic Panera food. Tasteless almond milk smoothie. Employee front- end with mask around chin. Employee making sandwiches, mask under nose. I will not be back as a restaurant with little care for customers' health should not have customers.

The restaurnt is great at quick service and the food is always good. The location can be busy around normal lunch times (11am to 12:30pm) but it is a quick lunch spot to meet friends at.

The UNLIMITED SIP CLUB is a  B A R G A I N ! $10.99/month with first month free!

I am a 30 year customer of Panera BreadCo, since it was St Louis BreadCo and have been to 20-30 BreadCos. This is THE BEST ONE. Manager MARK is professional, FRIENDLY, and always hustling, but stops to chat briefly. Cashier Christine & KAT call DOZENS of customers by name and HELPS, not just an "order takers" and Karen keeps the coffee bar and floors cleaner than my late MOTHER's KITCHEN! Elaine, James Asst Mgr - ALL GREAT! No BS !

Cheddar Broccoli and Tomato Bisque Soup - Yum!

Panera Bread just opened a brand new location in Cape Coral on Cape Coral Parkway East. Located in the Winn Dixie Shopping Plaza near the front corner of the lot. Although newly opened, this location has been received well and was doing a brisk business when we stopped for lunch this afternoon. This restaurant is fully handicapped compliant with a wheelchair ramp and accessible parking. Parking within the boundaries of the restaurant landscaping is extremely limited, so you may find it necessary to use parking in other areas of the lot, like we did today. It seemed they had additional staff on hand to help handle training issues and the initial business rush. The service and ambiance is the same good quality you find at most locations for this chain but with the additional sparkle that comes from opening a new store. Panera Bread has adapted to today's marketplace offering a variety of ordering options including: online mobile orders, self-serve kiosks, full service counter orders and the ability to take a seat and order food from their App. Seating offered inside includes tables and booths. Additionally, there are several outside tables with umbrellas for dining al fresco. Today was full of rain and bluster, so we ordered soup. The tomato bisque and broccoli cheddar were both tasty, as expected. They offered us a cookie for .99 and we decided it would be rude to refuse. The lemon drop cookie was soft, chewy and had a great flavor. Good choice!

Ordered soup to go. There was plastic in it. Second time there and both experiences were horrible. I will never be back.

Very good service and staff. Soup could have been hotter but the good thing is you can heat it up more in the microwave. Salad was fresh.

First, the selection here is huge, we all had a very hard time deciding if we were doing ice cream,…read morebaklava, Dubai specialities, etc. Customer service was top notch. The gentleman working was helpful and did not rush. We all settled on different things; I did the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup, which was beautiful and tasty, although not the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the Dubai chocolate waffle cone with ice cream, my brother got a mint avalanche shake, my daughter had cookie dough ice cream, my dad got a standard hot fudge sundae and my mom got the huge slice of baklava. Everything was good, but no one was blown away by anything, it was honestly pretty average. the biggest downfall here is the price; we walked out spending $70 on dessert for 5 people which is honesty insane.

We stopped by IceSsssCreamin' the other night and ordered the Key Lime on a cake cone, Black…read moreRaspberry Lemon on a cake cone, and a small Reesie's sundae. If you have an extreme sweet tooth, this is absolutely your kind of place. We weren't quite prepared for how much sugar, cake, and mix-ins were packed into the ice cream. My single scoop of Key Lime had a ton of cake chunks, and the Reesie's sundae was loaded with chocolate cake. It was delicious--but definitely more of a treat-yourself moment than a regular stop for me. The vibe inside is super fun and colorful--tons of eye candy (literally and decor-wise). Pistachio seemed to be a fan favorite the night we went; nearly everyone in line was ordering it. Even though there was a bit of a line, the three staff members behind the counter kept things moving and were really friendly and attentive. We grabbed a spot on the outdoor patio, which was just as cutely decorated as the inside. And I've only got four punches left on my loyalty card until I get $5 off, so I'll definitely be back. Sweet tooth or not, IceSsssCreamin' has secured a return visit from me.

*** Reviewing for the Cape Coral location ***…read more I love to support small businesses and I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I ordered a brisket, ribs, smoked wings with mac n' cheese and baked beans. Brisket - Fantastic. It's a good amount of fat on the meat where it's juicy and not dry. Super flavorful, didn't need any sauce and tender. By far my Favorite. Ribs - Great. It has good texture and flavor and I enjoyed it. Smoked wings - Smoked and cooked to perfection. The sauce they toss it in is what made it unique too. Mac n' cheese and baked beans were good too! If I recall, I believe the beans had brisket pieces in it too. Service was great. The cashier and owner himself were Super friendly and nice. Whenever I'm in the mood for barbeque, I would genuinely come back to support this place. I rather here than go support a terrible chain bbq place. This hidden gem is located in an apartment building near downtown Cape Coral. Free street parking but also free public parking next to the Dollar Tree located across the street.

Went to the Cape Coral location today and ordered Turkey, Sausage, and Smoked Wings. The turkey…read morewas good and had nice smoke but it was a little dry. The Sausage was excellent. The Smoked Wings were big and cooked perfectly and were still very moist, but they lacked the smoke that I was looking forward to. We also had the coleslaw and potato salad which were both good. Th coleslaw was not too saucy like some places make it and it was perfect for us. Unfortunately for a price of $27.99 the two meat plate was a little small. If the wings had more smoke I would have given it four stars. We will give it another try and if the wings are smoked better I will raise my rating.
