I am a Panera fan, I love their soups and sandwiches . I order as always the French Onion soup . It is delicous the best I have ever had . You can get it is a bread bowl or soup bowl .in addition to the soup they give you fresh croutons and have the cheese melted over the top .so good . Then one of their great danishes . A wonderful lunch . It is self serve , go to cashier and order . It is nice and casual , very relaxing . read more

I have to admit I only ordered because they had a $2 off coupon from a whole sandwich in my account. They got me LOL. I don't like I have never had a whole sandwich from Panera and if I have it hasn't been recently to where I remember. Since I wasn't feeling well I didn't want something to elaborate and I just wanted a regular sandwich so I decided not to go with the cranberry walnut chicken salad but just the regular turkey and cheddar. I always choose the black pepper focaccia for my bread and added extra veggies. Something else I love about ordering with panera. You can really create your own custom sandwich based upon breads and veggies you like. I ordered on the app for pickup and waited until it was ready. This location is in the 1 Mile West Shopping Center that has tons of other businesses as well. I went in to grab my order and was greeted by the cashier and quickly informed them I have placed to go order. I seen it on the bottom shelf grabbed it and left out. I couldn't help but wonder how me ordering on the app was taken away from the cashier's job. Another way that I guess we are replacing humans with machines read more

Very friendly staff. Food took a bit but it came out delicious and plentiful. The store itself was clean. Some people blocked walkways with chairs and so it was hard to maneuver but no problem. Would definitely go again. Plentiful parking in a shares lot read more

I recently had a bowl of cheddar broccoli soup, there was one quarter size broccoli in it....thats it! The gloppy gel like soup was not tasty and I burped it up hours later, awful. Please use better healthier ingredients! Most of the items on the menu tend to be too salty and fatty. read more

Always incredibly slow service. Food always takes at least half an hour even when it's not busy. Employees are nice but you're told to just wait longer. I'd eat here so much more often if the food came out in a more efficient manner. read more

This is a wonderful place to eat--if you have a few unusual preferences: 1) You order a cheese sandwich but don't really want cheese. Perfect, because between the two thick, white slices of bread you will struggle to find much but more bread. It's almost like Panera slapped down one slice of American cheese, cut it in half, then trimmed the edges off. 2) Your friend orders broccoli cheddar but really has in mind a bowl of broth with vegetables and rice that neither of you can relate to anything on the menu. Panera will present to your friend their unspoken 'preference.' Boc-boc, no chicken even? Broc broc, no broccoli and cheese? Woo-hoo! 3) You order a cup of chili and could almost sip it with a straw. Not flavored too badly, but mostly beans and thin tomato-based broth. "Where's the beef?" you chortle with delight as you drink it on down. Boo, Panera! You can do better! read more

I ordered broccoli cheddar soup in bread bowl at this Panera today but only got the bread bowl and no soup. 11 dollars for bread in the shape of a bowl, disappointing. read more

Very good service. The guy was patient and helpful. The food was ready crazy fast. I loved the soup. Even the little seeds had a great taste. The salad was good though I would have like another pepper I was able to eat and sit by the fire where I read for a little bit. Very nice. read more

Panera Bread - Autumn squash soup and Greek salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

July 10 2025 my daughter stopped at this location and picked up lunch that she ordered online. The food was ready when she arrived. She and my granddaughter ordered salads and sandwiches. I got something I've never eaten before. Mexican Street Corn Chowder. It beyond delicious. I only gave it 5*s because I couldn't give it ore stars. It had a bag of chips to put on it. So good. Oh, they liked their food too. read more

Placed order online. Said it was ready. Waited additional 10minutes for order to be bagged and given to me. Could have ordered in line quicker read more

As other Paneras, the menu offers salads, soups, pastas, sandwiches, and kid options. I came here to pick up an Orange Scone - this was a generous size, where it was larger than my hand! The scone itself wasn't dry or crumbly, but there was enough moistness to it with a nice orange glaze. Perfect treat with a hot beverage! The staff here was super friendly, welcoming, and very sweet. They also made the lines move along quickly. I also noticed that the space was maintained very well, where the tables and the chairs were wiped down often and was very clean. A good place to catch up, do some work/studying, and/or to grab a quick/casual meal.   Plenty of parking, too! +friendly staff! +clean! +quiet and a relaxing environment +plenty of parking in the plaza lot +located next to Foo Bao read more

Outstanding as usual. I had an apple salad that I've tried to replicate at home but couldn't. Great job as always guys.

The new italian market salad nothing like the photograph. Unappealing visually and taste wise. I dined in, they didn't even toss the salad. Go to Wegmans instead for a beautiful italian chopped salad for takeout! See wegmans photo read more

I've been craving Panera for a while after it closed down in Columbia Mall so I was stoked to see that one opened on route 40! People describe the food as glorified hospital food, but somehow they make it good. The Panera has every warm toned and always smells like muffins. I don't know how but even though they sell many other types of food, the only thing you smell when you come in are the muffins. Another notable thing was the staff. The staff was friendly and was very energetic! My friend and I ordered the mac and cheese, french onion soup, and a spicy chicken sandwich. The french onion soup was soooo good. It was sweet and then salty and the croutons adds a good crunch. The only downfall was that the soup was at a weird temperature. It was in a mix between warm and room temp. The chicken sandwich was great too! the flavors went together very nicely. It was so good, we were about to go back and get another sandwich. The only downside was the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese came out warm on top but cold on the bottom. The noodles were kind of separated from the cheese so it was like eating a noodles and cheese rather than mac and cheese. But otherwise, I ate it up. Overall, I still really like this place, but maybe next time, I'll ask to heat up the mac and cheese and the soup a little more. read more

Had a nice lunch here. They have their lobster special in a roll or Mac and cheese. I got their pick 2 with lobster Mac and cheese with a strawberry poppy seed salad. I like how they give you a good amount of lobster on the Mac and cheese a that seasonal salad is fresh, sweet and delicious too. The combo was $27, I guess that's about the going rate for lobster these days. I always enjoy their sandwiches, soups, salads breakfast items, baked goods, I'll go back again soon. read more

Panera Bread - Lobster Mac and cheese with strawberry poppy seed salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

COVID19 visit. Came to get lunch after a long morning of errands. Select tables are available for seating (see the picture below). No physical menus are avail, only the big menu behind the register. Bibby was my cashier and he was SUPER NICE!!! I even left my glasses at home so I couldn't read the menu so he helped me out on a few things that were blurry :) If you need to refill your drink, you must get a new cup to do so. A few tables that were open for seating were dirty but I asked a crew member to clean one off for me and she was really nice to do so, and then even cleaned off all of the other tables. I opted for the You-Pick-2 Grilled cheese and baja mac n cheese. Both were okay. Grilled cheese had more bread than a bit of cheese. The recipe for the baja mac and cheese changed, its more of a pesto sauce then macaroni sauce. They have curbside pick up and alot of patrons utilized that. read more

Yes - I love Panera Bread. Their coffee is outstanding. Their sandwiches are very good and their salads are excellent. People are pleasant. I have been going there for over 20 years. It's also usual quiet and offers you a place to read so I like that . read more

I just ordered chicken noodle soup from Panera Bread, Rolling Rd, Springfield VA. I was craving for soup but very disappointed, literally no soup full with noodles & tasteless pulled chicken & few pieces of veggies. I never recommend this restaurant just wastage of money. read more

Ordered delivery... they said doordash would not deliver so they canceled my order... so I thought. They then confirmed delivery after canceling my order. Recharged my account when I already ordered from another place so I could get lunch on time... they delivered my meal at 2:30 when my lunch was from 12:30-1. :( and I called them to let them know there was a mixup, but did not offer any apology. They also messed up my order and gave me the wrong bagels that I had ordered as well. read more

This restaurant is on Rt. 40 in the Ellicott City/Catonsville corridor. It had been years since we visited a Panera and remember it as a slightly pretentious and a bit overpriced place where they bring your food to your table and sandwiches that served as a light lunch with sufficient protein, lettuce, tomato, etc. This experience was different. We had mac in a bread bowl (child), small cheese steak, and small tuna sandwich w/ one coffee. In this restaurant, you order and then stand at a window with others, waiting for your name to be called. The sandwiches were indeed small, about three inches in length with tiny portions of protein and garnish-sized lettuce & tomato (tuna) and red pepper (steak). Bags of stale chips came with the sandwiches. For the price, we expected 6" sandwiches loaded with protein. read more

I use the one near the airport as it has a drive through and very convenient for me. I usually buy a loaf of their bread to have at home and then of course I have to buy something to eat while in the parking lot. Their pizza on the flatbread is really tasty and I am a BIG eater and I can't finish it at one sitting. I am also a soup fan and am ALWAYS pleased at any soup I have ordered. I haven't ordered the soup in the drive through but have always been happy when I have gone in at any store with them read more

I'm a loyal Panera customer; However, I come here only for breakfast. The employees are friendly and polite. The price of a cup coffee is very reasonable and quality is always consistent. My only complaint is that they need more variety on the breakfast wraps. read more

As I was watching the employee prepare my food he put his hands-on his pants to pull them up with no gloves on and then put his hands Back onto my food. There was also another employee who had braids in their hair with no hair net on. I let the manager know but they look like they were More angry because I said something because there was a lot of people in the restaurant. read more

I want to like this place but unfortunately it normally falls flat. The staff is pleasant enough but efficiency is not a strong suit here. Online orders are never ready when the app says they are and it just seems to be general confusion with the whole order/pick up process, which makes the lines very long. The food is just the food. It's Panera anywhere you go. I would love to see some sort of management involvement to make the experience less stressful. And no I don't need stressful and the truest sense of the word. I mean no one is dying or losing an arm, however it will be nice to simply get the order correct in the amount of time they tell us it will take. read more

This particular location is a bit older and has seen better times. The staff is friendly although they seem more interested in conversing with fellow co-workers rather than serving customers. My meal came with a dirty looking utensil and I requested another. There was a pile of trash laying on one of the tables. There's a general lack of attention to the details. My meal order was correct and the quality of the food was as expected. Overall it was an okay experience. read more

Panera Bread - Pick 2 - Autumn Squash Soup and Greek Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

I am never disappointed at Panera I really love their soups and sandwiches Always fresh and big sandwiches Great homemade soups

I've been there many times with my wife because my wife like their soup. Today my wife and I got terrible customer service because they don't sale soup to color people but only white customers. The cashier said soups are ready by 11 and we were in 10:30. So no option to get the soup we just gave up. But one of customer start arguing with them because for discrimination. And we saw the white customers still getting their soups but only color people didn't get. It was one of most terrible experience of discrimination by skin color in my life I thought. The owner or manager must explain about why your workers didn't sell soup to the any color people but white only. If the soup is not enough to serve then how the white customers got soup behind us? I wonder most workers are not white but they got something wrong attitude to the color people. Why did they do that to same color people? Human being is all same no matter skin color or rich. read more

So So Lunch Visit There was a line of at least 10 people ahead of me upon arrival but it moved faster than imagined. The young lady/ cashier (Kortni) assisted me w my order and purchase of a few gc's. It was a smooth transaction but I was highly annoyed by her coworker who came to sit to the right of the register where I was ordering, complaining about the line she refused to stand in because it's too long. I venture to the end of the counter to wait for my food while watching at least 12 trays of other food get put up and leave and then Mikel calls #102... holding a bag. I informed Mikel that I would like a tray. She repeated what I said as if it was a difficult request. I responded again "yes, I would like my food on a tray... like everyone else & I never requested my order to go". After waiting another 90 seconds of everyone getting their food, I hear "Miss, that's yours right there" ... le sigh. Clearly that was Kortni's fault w the to go order and she indicated it on my receipt but I felt Mikel could have handled it better. Nevertheless, my salad was pretty good as expected and the rest of my visit went fine. I'll definitely be back and in the future and I'll REQUEST order preference in case it's missed again! read more

Panera Bread - Caesar Salad (Half) and Chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

Lets start with what I like...open seating , always clean, and the food is alway fresh. From the bagels to salads you can't go wrong. They change up the summer menu to showcase new items. Right now I'm stuck on the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad , the combination of dried fuji apple, grilled chicken, pecan, red onion, field greens, and cheese its a party in my mouth. I always get a side of bread to dip in the dressing. Now to what I don't like...Everyone knows this is the place to be whether its breakfast, lunch, and or dinner this location is busy. But I will stand right in line waiting my turn....Yes I would like... read more

Wish someone would create a gluten-free bread while visiting this vast oasis of yummy bread treasures. They do have a weird death by chocolate cookie... but I don't really like chocolate and I would rather have savory vs sweet. But at least the coffee is good and so is the salads. read more

I am a frequent visitor of panera bread Mainly for their soups and today is the first time I am at this location. Inside is very clean and the employees were very friendly and polite. I noticed a new summer item (summer corn chowder) and I new I had to try it. Compared to the regular clam chowder it holds it's own and I would recommend. It was freshly made and the taste was superb. I also decided to try a bear claw for the first time. First though is "very good" similar to eating a croissant with icing on top. I am here on a Friday at 9am and it's not crowded or loud which is what I always like. Can't wait to come again read more

I am a Panera lover. It is a great place to get soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries and bagels!! It's not exactly cheap but it's not super pricey either. I've been coming to this location for many years. There is plenty of seating around but I usually get my food to go. The service here is not too great but better than a lot of other Paneras that I have been to. The food preparers are fast and usually nice but I've found that the cashiers there can be slow and rude at times. Food: 4 stars Service: 2-3 stars read more

stopped in from out of town to grab food after a funeral 12/16 @12pm. they had the 6ft markers on the floor at the cash registers. it seemed as if all food was packaged to go, even if you wanted to eat in so they did not have to worry about covid / sanitizing issues with plates bowls utensils etc. i got broccoli cheddar soup and chicken apple fuji salad with a baguette. all was wonderful ! fluffy big piece of baguette. while eating, a male "karen" got in a hizzy at the drink station and he called to an employee to ask in a rude manor why there wasn't hand sanitizer out and available for customers. the employee directed the karen to the front door stating it was there for guests to use upon entry. the karen was mad at this because hes dumb and didn't realize it and i guess hasn't realized it's the responsible thing to do to have your own sanitizer on you at all times. read more

Please be aware that their cashiers are extremely SLOW and they do not perform multiple task! That means if you go just for a coffee , you may have to wait about 10-15 minutes , even when they are not that busy! read more

My wife and I went for a late breakfast/early lunch. Neither of us have been there in a while. I ordered an old regular order, "Asiago Bagel with Veggie Cream Cheese and Bacon" and threw in some Broccoli Cheddar Mac & Cheese. For starters, they didn't have Veggie and I had to get Chive and Onion. She ordered some kind salad and a Broccoli & Cheddar soup. When we got our food, much to my surprise, my sandwich came in pieces and I literally had to make my own freakin sandwich!!!!! I had a toasted bagel, a to-go container of cream cheese, and bacon on a little cup. They didn't even give me a plate or tray to do it on. WHAT THE ACTUAL ... ??? I had to sit there and put together my own sandwich!?!? If I ordered a ham and cheese on wheat toast, would they give me two slices of toast, a little thing of ham, a couple slices of cheese, and some packets of mustard and mayonnaise?? All separated so that I have to sit down and put it all together myself???? WHAT THE ACTUAL ... ??? My wifes salad was small and unfilling. The soup was good. The mac and cheese seemed like they just mixed some soup and Mac and cheese together, so it was really "soupy." With two drinks, this whole miserable meal, with a sandwich that I had to put together myself, was just over $25!!!! We both agreed, wholeheartedly, that we would NEVER go to a Panera again and stick to locally owned bagel shops where I know that when I order a sandwich, they'll actually give me a fully constructed, cut in half, wrapped in deli paper sandwich. read more

Good sandwiches and onion soup. We had take-out with curbside service, about 7 pm on a Friday. I paid for upgraded sides--a salad and a fruit cup. When I got home, no fruit cup. So check your bag before leaving. I also ordered a loaf of tomato basil bread. Not sure just what I received. The loaf has no distinct basil flavor and a definite cinnamon crunch top. There's no bread on the menu described that way. So, while the food is good, service is off. I'll try again, but I'm going in to double check the order. read more

I love their salads but they NEVER give you enough dressing. I got home and found they gave me three dressing containers, each with maybe a single tablespoon of dressing which left me with a terribly dry salad. Thanks, Panera. read more

Panera Bread - Really? I should have asked for 5 extra dressings. - Sandwiches Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

Rapid orders pick up was very busy today and the staff seems to be managing well. There is a curbside and someone will bring the food to the cars, which is a plus. There are about five tables outside for outdoor dining. The outdoor area is not as large as the Columbia location but more patio sitting was added during the pandemic. We ordered two separate salads and both were delicious. I had the Thai salad while my friend had the customized asian salad without chicken, and custom vegs as she is a vegetarian. The coffee was good. The almond bear claw was not as good as it used to be, slightly on the dry side and not as moist. read more

Was tricked again. I like Panera's food. It's a shame really. This location is an absolute joke. I have been there 3 times, and EVERY TIME my online, filled out by me, hard to mess up, order is completely wrong. I now stand firm that I will NOT buy anything from this Panera ever again moving forward. What a waste read more
