My family and I absolutely love this place! Great customer service and the food is delicious. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't go wrong all are yummy! read more

I really do not like this place. There is always something wrong. From order issues, to service, to products being out, to the drive through speaker not working. I don't give a negative review lightly, but this place frustrates me to no end. The food is good though, but if my wife didn't like it the food is not good enough to win me over. Hopefully others have had better luck than I but this review also comes after multiple visits without improvements prior to writing this review. read more

I really like Panera. They use quality ingredients, bake their items fresh, and are actively committed to feeding members of the community who are less fortunate which I absolutely love. What I don't like about Panera however is how expensive they are. I went through the drive thru for lunch the other day and ordered their pick two combo. You get two choices of half a sandwich, soup, salad, pasta, or even flatbreads. I got half of the classic salad and the tomato mozzarella flatbread. I also wanted something sweet so I ordered a chocolate chip cookie as well. They asked if I wanted to add a drink to my order to make my cookie only 99 cents, so I thought sure why not? I fully admit that I didn't pay attention to their menu prices because I always used to get the pick two combo when I lived in an apartment near a Panera, and never remembered the total being more than around $8. Needless to say, I about had a heart attack when I got to the window and they told me my total was $12.32!!! Sorry, what?!? I could have gotten a whole pizza to go for that price and at least had leftovers. Instead it got me a tiny salad, an even smaller flatbread, a cookie, a lemonade, and a piece of baguette. I checked the receipt because I felt like there was no way that could be right. Sure enough the salad was $3.69, the flatbread was $4.59, the lemonade was $2.19, and the cookie was $0.99. Maybe I'm just a cheap old lady at heart but I found that to be outrageously expensive. The small salad was mostly greens and red onions which was not worth almost $4 in itself. Am I crazy? Do these prices seem normal to other people? I do have a Panera rewards card but don't go enough to get much use out of it. They usually offer a free pastry for your birthday and right now are doing a free cup of coffee everyday in June. I don't live close enough to take them up on that but it's a pretty sweet deal nonetheless. If they lowered the prices a bit then I would give the extra star. But as is I feel like 4 is fair. read more

We never get our order given to us correctly. And when we try to get the manager to fix it, it's always a fight. If you go here, be prepared to be disappointed. read more

Don't bother ordering delivery. I hope the driver enjoys the rest of my meal. No, I won't be going here again and I will not order from places that charge me and then don't deliver it. And they are closed now and several days. read more

This location is always out of food. Tonight I came and was told they are out of most breads. Then the order came out wrong. When I reordered my food, I was then told that they are now out of fruit after they allowed me to order it. I've had this happen a couple times and I won't be giving this location any more chances. read more

I'm sorry, I hate being that person, but I just came through at the drive thru, ordered a soufflé and 3 bagels with a tub of chive and onion, i started eating my soufflé, wasn't what I expected (like hot and fresh), but no Luke warm and probably out of the freezer, looks like a pot pie, and it's $5.00 for that? I'm sorry but I'm not gonna be coming back for a while after that... read more

The food was good but customer service really needs to step it up. They forgot half my boyfriends order while giving everyone else their food that came after us first. read more

do not recommend this place. it is a wet day and upon walking in my mother completely wiped out and fell terribly at the front door. not one employee and there were 3 that saw this, asked if she was okay. no wet floor sign was out, i had to tell them to put a wet floor sign out and possibly another rug as the floor is incredibly slippery. not to mention they were just about complete out of all bagel and pastries. very disappointing. read more

The food here is pretty average, but definitely not worth the price. You can easily spend $15 on a half sandwich and a cup of soup. I get that the branding is healthier food free from preservatives and unnecessary chemicals but prepare to pay for it! read more

The worst panera ever! We went to have an early dinner or late lunch at 4 pm. After 2 pm the don't have fresh coffee or even hot, they don't refill the sodas, my husband order half Southwest lime salad and they brought him more like 1/4 of a salad. My boy order a dinner roll as a side to his chicken avocado melt and they didn't have anymore bread. Don't recommend to anybody. The service was slow read more

I've never had a problem with this Panera Bread. The staff have always been helpful and friendly. They have table service after you've ordered. Usually someone comes to see how everything is at some point during your meal. Then there's the food. Having eaten here many, many times; I can say I've never had anything that tasted bad. Everything has always been delicious and excactly as ordered. My food is served fast, but then I've always come here at slow points of the day when there were only 4-5 other customer's. Five stars. read more

8.16.20 Lunch - Was excited to try the new Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Unfortunately, this location forgot the BBQ sauce : / The sandwich was okay, but a bit dry. Will have to try it again and hope they get it right next time. read more

I don't eat at Panera very often - for no other reason than there's not one by me. But every time I come in, the service is great and the food is high quality and tastes good. Youjeen had knockout customer service this evening and was incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks for always making my visits to Panera consistently pleasant! read more

I've eaten at Panera's everywhere quite often. My experience tonight at the Cedar Park location was so much more terrible than usual. I ordered online and ordered (and paid for) a sweet iced tea. When I get there and don't see sweet tea, the extremely disinterested (and unapologetic) woman working the counter where the food comes out informed me I was to use regular tea and make it sweet myself (duh). I then get home, my salad was opened and spilled in the bag - and was a sad excuse for a salad regardless. My bread on my sandwich was half missing and so gummy i couldn't eat it. What a disappointment. Do better, Panera. read more

Panera Bread - How the sandwich came. The other side was no better. - Sandwiches Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I made a last minute order for catering. They initially said they could accommodate the order. However an hour later, they called to let me know they could not make the order. I found another restaurant to accommodate my last minute request. However Panera still brought over part of the order and didn't charge me. I was very pleasantly surprised. read more

This was a disappointing lunchtime experience. I paid $19.03 (!!?) for a bowl of turkey chili that tasted like it came out of a can and a salad that had been pre-packaged in a fridge for at least 4 days and they just piled a heap of tortilla chips in it to make it taste OK? I'm disappointed in the quality of the food for such a high price. For almost $20 at lunch time I expect to be wowed by the quality and flavor. read more

Worst panera in the area. Lordy! 8 out of 10 times they will get the order wrong. I don't get it, the store is clean and the employees are nice. I just don't understand why the order is always wrong, whether it's I'm walking in and placing an order or doing it online it's wrong. I've gotten wrong items, missing items and other people's orders. I've even called to tell them about food allergies, they don't care. They've even messed up on orders they were trying to correct. This panera sucks. Save yourself the hassle and go to the one on lakeline. read more

I like the new "Order for yourself" - great addition. As far as food, it was cold and rainy so I wanted the turkey chili. It was decent and came out quickly but was like warm. I don't like to send food back so I just dealt with it. Would've been much better if it was hot. Wife got chicken noodle soup which was more brothy than hearty. But she enjoyed it. May try somewhere different next time I'm looking for soup/chili options. read more

It's Panera, you've probably been there. Food tastes just like every other Panera. The service here, however, is where they stand apart. They are slow. Like, I waited 10 minutes for two bowls of lukewarm soup while the kitchen staff sang "Everything is Awesome" at the top of their lungs. When they finally managed to ladle our soup into bowls the server (they bring it to you at this location) let it sit for several minutes before tossing it onto our table with a clatter and walking away without saying a word. I have pretty low expectations of a place like Panera and they managed to let me down anyway. Nice job. read more

I'm a fan of Panera Bread, just not this one. I've tried it twice now and gotten the same result every time. Slow service, cold food, incorrect order. They did have what I am guessing was a manager roaming the dining room but their presence meant literally nothing. Employees were struggling at the cash register, struggling with orders, and this guy was roaming around in a seemingly important manner. I felt bad for the girl who was trying to help me out (it was her first day on the job, and she was lost), because she had zero support. read more

Did online order for pickup, the associate called because an item was sold out. He went to the trouble of getting a substitution sorted but when I got home with the order the substitution was NOT in the bag. Because of the current situation my order was brought out and all but thrown at me so I didn't check there. I should have known better as this location routinely doesn't get pickup order bakery items into the bag. Disappointed to be charged for things I don't get. read more

Horrible service with lots of excuses. Paid almost $7 for a chicken noodle soup and bread bowl and arrived home to no bread bowl and a cup of soup with maybe 5 noodles and lots of broth. They always mess up orders and the food is way overpriced. Was told I could drive all the way back so they could refund me for the bread but said they can't control the fact that I had lots of broth and hardly any noodles. Seriously so many other places to enjoy on Whitestone so don't waist your money here. read more

This is the absolute WORST location I have ever been to. My husband and I had an awful experience with this staff and management clearly doesn't know how to handle customer issues nor do they understand policies and procedures correctly. My husband went through the drive through and when he got home we realized both of our sandwiches were made incorrectly. The manager Madina actually put me on hold, then resumed the call to let me know that my sandwich comes with mustard (and apparently mustard fingerprints) Ok...well I ordered it without so what does that matter? Anyway, she asked for order information and my credit card number to process a refund and I told her we paid with cash. She told us to go to the store where she would give us our money back and insisted on remaking the food for us and assured it would be right (which it STILL isn't right). My husband goes where he's told they don't do refunds, it's against policy. So they really made us go back up there knowing they weren't going to process a refund, to get food that we didn't even want anymore. Then, actually had the nerve to tell my husband he "wasn't part of the conversation" when he was mad that he wouldn't be getting a refund for the lousy, disgusting food we were given. I called back to ask for the original manager I was dealing with and I was told by another manager who "couldn't say" her name, I want to say she answered the phone as Stephanie (had mid length light brown hair) , and refused to let me speak to her but couldn't give an answer as to why she wanted my credit card number if no refund would have been processed or why we were told to drive up there in traffic wasting our time. I will be placing a complaint in every avenue possible against this location and the managers. read more

I love that Panera is in the hood. Love their food, thrilled they offer a drive thru at this location. They need to learn to wipe the tables off with a wet rag. Crumbs and drink residue left on open tables is not acceptable. Hope they get it together before I give up on them. This has been the same on about 3 different occasions. I will be bummed if I have to drop them off the list. read more

I LOVE their food and the drive through is almost always speedy. That being said, this location has a habit of getting our order wrong (which, of course, is almost always realized at home). It's usually somewhat small transgressions (bread instead of chips), but recently it was a rather big mixup (half sized salad with no chicken instead of full-sized salad with chicken). I suppose my only recommendation would be to hold up the entire drive through line and check your order before pulling away...that's what I'm going to start doing, I'm afraid! read more

So I have recently become a yelper. Turns out it is a lot more fun than I thought. Tuna Sandwich slammed! I also had their Fuji apple salad with feta cheese instead of bleu cheese. Overall my tummy is happy. read more

I love this location. I always come here with my laptop to get some work done I all of their booth have an outlet next to them. They also have the "order from table" option which is very convenient. I thought all Panera's were essentially the same, but nibs is the others I've visited - Nashville, Houston, Kansas City. I don't think the one on Lakeline does either but I may be wrong on that. I've also never had a problem with my order & everyone there is friendly. Thanks read more

I've eaten at the Lakeline area Panera Bread once before and thought it was pretty decent. So I was eager to try out this new one close to home. I came here for dinner last night, and breakfast this morning. I was kinda underwhelmed. Dinner: The cup of French Onion soup was nice, and of a good value. Comes with a substantial hunk of bread. Could have used a little butter on the bread but did not realize they had it way up front with the coffee instead of with the other condiments until too late. The Chicken Chipotle Panini was a little disappointing. Was kinda limp and sad, and on the cold side even though served fresh on a plate. It was of a quality I'd expect from a fast food place, not fast casual. I put some hot sauce on it and it was ok. My husband loved it however. Breakfast: Ordered a toasted bagel, to eat there, same ticket as my husband's order. They forget to bring it with his sandwich and then bring me an unsliced untoasted bagel on a plate. At least it didn't take long to get it corrected once again but it was really kinda irksome, especially considering the place wasn't even close to busy. I'll give this place another try but for what you pay, they really need to put in just a little more effort in their prep. read more

Ate dinner at this location tonight. By far the best service from any Panera I've been to in the past. Josh came by several times to ask if we needed anything or if he could take our plates when we were done. Super polite, and not excessive. Thanks so much Josh. We were all very impressed! Setting the bar high for other locations !! read more

This is the most disgusting, vile food I have ever had the misfortune to buy. Not only was it expensive it looked like it was pulled out of a trash can or it was left overs cleaned up from their tables, yesterday. I spoke to a manager there that said "that's the way all our sandwiches look." I told her that not even at my poorest had I ever eaten something looked like their sandwich and soup did. I tried feeding the sandwich to my Yorkie, he looked at it, smelled it, growled at me then ran and hid behind the sofa. Take my advise, save yourself the time and trouble eat somewhere else, Anywhere else. I took a picture of the sandwich, if I could post it along with the review I would. read more

Eat here all the time and everything is usually good. Just got to say...the guy running food tonight (long hair, muscles) has awesome customer service.

Amazing place! The food is incredible, and so are the workers! Specifically the waiter Eross. He was a super down to earth & hilarious server! Definitely an asset to the mood of the whole place. Will be coming back soon! read more

Wonderful place with very kind staff who go above and beyond! I am a teacher and go there on my lunch occasionally, they are always fast and friendly! The last time I went, I was a little bit too far away from the drive thru window so I went to open my car door so I could reach my food, but the very kind staff member told me not to move and squeezed his large frame through the window to hand me my food. It was such a simple and kind thing to do, I will definitely be back more in the future :) read more

Poor service. I asked for a bowl. Received a cup. The cashier kept asking do you want a pick two. I answered no. I want a bowl not a cup. What do you want for the other half. I answered I do not want a pick two. I want a bowl. What did I get HALF A PICK TWO. A cup not the bowl!!! Told the server who brought it to the table. He checked with the cashier. Came back said this is what you ordered. No I ordered the bowl NOT the cup. I ate half a lunch. So much for notify us and we will correct your order. read more

Everything I bought was done incorrectly. I asked for a chicken Caesar salad and was given no croutons and ceased dressing and no chicken. The drink I paid for was incorrect and $1+ extra and although I got the drink changed out I was still charged, and on top of that I was given bread instead of chips and the server was not wearing gloves although we are in a pandemic and in the drive thru. read more

I always stop by here for lunch on days when I have to run errands,I love this location, they have parking and a drive through,its next to torchys tacos.As soon as you walk in I was greeted,This location is hardly ever crowded which is nice.Its nice just to be able to sit down after dropping off my baby to relax,lol.It fast casual. They have a soup special you get your choice of side,a baguette or apple or chips,Its the Southwest Chicken tortilla Soup, it was spicy! Bit of was good,it had dark meat chicken, cilantro,lime,quinoa. It was so good on a cold day,I also got my favorite kale and romaine Caesar salad with Parmesan crisps.And a baguette.I ate my whole salad,and a little o the soup. Every thing is always so fresh here and the kids that work at panera seem to be pretty happy.I love the Caesar dressing! Plus you can have a pastry too such as a danish or muffin.They also have a Rewards card and app you can use if you go there enough,the only down side is that its kind of expensive. But you are also paying for quality too.Especially if you are trying to eat healthier for the New Year. read more
