I absolutely love Panera drinks. I am a member of the Sip club. It is fabulous. I want to shout out to the girls that work through the drive-through. They are amazing workers. They work hard. They're always so kind and respectable. Thank you for all your hard work and kindness. God bless you. read more

My cashier associate was alert and ready to help with my order. I appreciated the energy he brought to taking care of me. The restaurant is in clean shape and the A/C is nice all-around. Today, I got the Strawberry Basil Lemonade, and the fruit and herbs are fresh here! read more

Slowest service i have experienced. Every table was nasty . Floor is nasty. All the stations need filled. Tea was out. Staff moved like molasses in December. Cleveland store needs overhauling. read more

Luke warm coffee, nasty bathrooms, stood at counter over 5 minutes before someone even came up. Hope they can do better

The food was excellent but the floors needed to be cleaned. I would have given the restaurant a 5 rating if not for the dirty floor. Prices were about 30 dollars for two people for lunch. Why do they have a suggested tipping on the receipt when you pick up your own food? This is not by any means a fancy restaurant. read more

I just want to give a shout out to Angel and Lynex? For holding it together today. Being short staffed on a snow day and still working so diligently to get it done. I really appreciate you both. read more

Food took a very long time. It was just one meal. The young man making the food was moving at the speed of molasses with a sad attitude. Everything seemed filthy and run down. Prices are crazy and portions have gotten smaller. Disappointing. Update: My husband and I recently got soup there one evening, two soups and two salads costs more than our usual dinners at a steak house. Even more disturbing was a worker in the bathroom stall with the door wide open just sitting on the open toilet with their pants up and scrolling through their phone on break. Blegh! read more

Manager has a nasty attitude. The tables are always dirty and I have had to clean one myself just so I could sit down. The wait is always long because the staff is slow and too busy playing instead of handling orders. read more

Ordered 2 whole bacon turkey bravo sandwiches to go. Got home and neither sandwich had any turkey on it. Literally 2 slices of bacon with veggies on bread. read more

Haven't been here in a while was disappointed with the cleanliness. I came early and even the bathroom was dirty.

Ate at this Panera today. I was displeased with the lack of cleanliness in the beverage station and the tables.

Food is always great. Service is very good and it's a really good atmosphere with excellent servers.

Great sandwiches, soups and salads. Seems to be a place to get some healthy food. I think it has better quality items than most places. Might be a little pricey! read more

Good as any other Panera that I have eaten food. Soup and sandwich hit the spot . Service good.

Looking for a BLT for my mil. Panera said they could take off the avocado and turkey and add a little bacon, since it's a $13.00 sandwich. I got the sandwich to my mil snd there was no bacon only lettuce snd tomato. I called and made another trip to Panera. This is the 2nd sandwich! Don't waste your money here! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

the last time I was here, there was a literal dead fly in my food, and this isn't the only bad experience I've had there, the past few times I went the orders were wrong on the food was cold in some spots, I'll admit, when there's not dead flys in my food and the food isn't cold, the food is actually good, but they apparently got a bad score too? (not surprising..) but anyway yeah, place is good but only once in a blue moon read more

I received some gift cards as a Christmas gift. My grandson was visiting and had never had anything from Panera Bread. He saw a soup in my fridge, a PB product bought from Walmart and asked next time he came he wanted to try it. I said why wait. I tried to place our order online for pickup but couldn't pay for it with the cards. I sent my daughter with screenshots of what we wanted which included a free baguette or apple pastry with each meal. What she brought home was awful! Not only did they not have the bread bowls of soup the soups were lukewarm not hot. The $7 half sandwich wouldn't have fed a 7 year old. My daughter was told there wasn't any free bread or apple anything. Instead 3 pieces of partial loaves of bread were simply placed in the bag without being wrapped in any way. As a retired restaurant manager I believe the manager was just trying to empty their shelves before closing. Unfortunately Panera Bread this entire experience has been a disappointment! I tried to call you directly to complain privately instead of this public forum but no one answered the phone. I tried calling repeatedly prior to closing. What a waste of the gift cards I received and my grandson will probably never order from any Panera Bread store. read more

See all

First of all, the employees were very kind and nice, however the inside itself was gross. Very minimal daily cleaning. The place needs a deep wash. The French onion soup was not very good either not much cheese on it and not very flavorful. Turned me off from all Panera locations. We had a gift card but if we didn't would have been a total waste. read more

I've given this particular Panera many chances. In the end, the food has been expensive; service has been slow, employees have seemed annoyed and bored (I could care less about employer attitude either way if the food was actually decent). The food is below average at best and extremely expensive. The pastries have often been dry. The drinks have had little to no flavor. After many attempts, I have not been satisfied by any Panera, and I've been let down by this one in particular. I have tried and tried, but this will be my last try. My business will be going to someone else from now on. read more

We love visiting our local Panera Bread location. Everyone is always so friendly and caring. The employees do very well at maintaining COVID policies while also maintaining the level of service we all look for at Panera. Today I ordered a chai latte and a soufflé. The soufflés were still finishing up in the oven so I waited for it in one of the Drive-thru pick up parking spots. I was so pleasantly surprised when they brought out my order and had even gifted me with a lovely iced Christmas cookie. Always a pleasure! read more

Panera Bread - Spinach Artichoke Soufflé w/ Chai Latte & Iced Cookie - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

I wanted chicken and rice soup so I ordered a sandwich and soup to go with the store app. When I arrived at the restaurant to to pick up my order the sandwich was ready but not the soup. After getting a person's attention I was told they are out of the soup I wanted. I asked for a refund, and was told I could substitute another soup I again asked for extra refund. I was told the only the manager could give a refund and they were busy. I waited a bit and asked again and was told I had to have a seat and wait because the manager was too busy. Bottom line I got no soup and no refund. read more

I keep giving this Panera a chance because I love the soup and sandwich's. However, this one needs help. I never make it home with what I order, either it's completely the wrong sandwich or anything I ask to leave off is always left on. I am allergic to tomatoes and called the last time I arrived home with tomato on my sandwich, again tonight a sandwich thrown away because tomato on it! At least I had a cup of soup for dinner. I have also placed lunch orders for coworkers and large sandwich orders for work lunches...part of the orders were missing and the office is 30 minutes away! As much as I enjoy Panera I can't keep throwing food away and giving them chances to get simple orders for one person right. My company has already marked them off the list for lunches. Training and management would benefit this location. read more

Food was good but overall the restaurant was dirty. Dirty plates piled up at the trash bins. The beverage center was in need of a good clean up. read more

In general I really like Panera but this location seems to struggle. Every time I have ordered here my order is incorrect AND has ingredients that have halfway gone bad. I like to customize my salads but have never actually received any of my special requests, even if I pay extra for them ( like extra avocado or extra chicken). Also, portion sizes here seem to be noticeably smaller than with other locations. read more

I love coming to this particular establishment! The service was impeccable and the workers were absolutely astounding! My favorite experience was when I ordered a bread bowl and I saw a certain chef with dark curly hair bestow a kiss (a very passionate one) onto it. I was very confused at first, but as it was served to me, I noticed a bright crimson kiss stain on the rim of the bread bowl. I realized then that this chef was not just an ordinary employee, but, potentially a lover. read more

This is by far the worst Panera I've ever visited. From unorganized staff, to the low food quality and a dirty facility. Where is the quality control of management. The wait time was poor but the cashier was very nice. Thank you! I will give you another chance and hope you can redeem yourselves. Clean your bathroom please! read more

First of all the frontega chicken panini was delicious as was the broccoli cheddar soup. I highly recommend the half a sandwich/soup compo if you visited for lunch. It was the perfect for lunch. I also got the passion papaya green tea awesome!! But the best part of the visit was the amazing service I recieved from michael who took my order. I had never been to this Panera before so I was completely overwhelmed by the menu. I knew i wanted a soup and sandwich combo. Michael was patient and offered great options. He showed me where on the menu to look for my options. He was very friendly, attentive and didn't rush me. He gave me time to think about what I wanted and didnt make me feel pressured to hurry up. He immediately greet me when I got to the counter was very courteous and thank me at the end of my order. Thank you michael very making this a very nice first visit to the Panera Bread in cleveland tn. Side note: the place is very spacious and has two separate dining areas. It was very clean and a very comfortable. It was nice to be in a causal relaxing environment to enjoy a great lunch. I am sure I will be back many more times. Edit: I do have one complaint which is not related to my experience or this store. Panera your PRICES ARE RIDICULOUSLY WAY TOOOOOO HIGH. while your food is very good and always enjoyable environment. $13.13 for a half sandwich, cup of soup and small (free refills) drink is a little much. The sandwich was still $5.39 and soup $4.19 if you offer a combo it should be a set price $5.39 for a half a panini seems very high as does $4.19 for a CUP of soup, maybe a bowl but a cup and the panini seemed more like 1/4 of a sandwich then a half and $5.39 was high for the size sandwich. $2.39 for a small drink (yes refillable but all places are these days) is kind of high. It was the perfect amount for lunch but the price not so perfect. How much is a full size panini sandwich anyway $10.78 hmmmm... read more

Panera Bread - My yum lunch at panara bread in cleveland tn - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

Always out of what we want. Tuesday out of bread bowls today out of cinnamon and other bagels at 8:30 am. Terrible!!!!!!

On April 20th 2021 I ordered an iced coffee for curbside pick-up. I waited 30 minutes and did not get my order. For the next 40 days I was unable to place a curbside order because the app always said currently unavailable. On june 1st and June 8th I waited at least 10 minutes both times for my curbside iced coffee orders before I went in to ask for them. Both times my order was not made and I had to wait for a cashier. Both times the cashier handed me an empty cup and told me to make it myself. read more

Today was my last attempt, ever to eat at this pretentious dive. This is the third time I have driven off from your drive through window because I could not get waited on. Today at around 8:30 AM, i sat at the speaker without being acknowledged for a total of 6 minutes. I asked if the store was open. A voice said yes but it would be a few minutes. I waited 6 more minutes and left. This is the last try, people go spend your money at a drive through that acts like they WANT your business instead of this pretend to be healthy, hippie dive, local restaurants do a much better job! read more

Panera bread as a chain is typically an enjoyable place to get a soup and salad or sandwich. Because we were traveling in an air-conditioned car that day, all of us were chilled and decided to go for one of the soups. That day we had potato soup, broccoli cheese soup, onion soup, and vegetable soup. All of us enjoyed our meal thoroughly and the yummy iced tea beverages (hibiscus tea). We were promptly served by a friendly employee. I had the Spicy Thai salad that was enjoyable but a little heavy on the dressing. Next time, I'll order it on the side. The half-portions are plentiful for most of us other than my teen son. We enjoyed covered outdoor seating, as it was a nice day. They also had plenty of indoor seating. Great for families. read more

They have free WiFi without a password. Just bring in your IPhone or IPad etc and go to settings of course and log in and accept terms of their service. Now, it is the simple truth: this is a coffee shop to me. They have lots of regulars who come in and stay for hours and drink nothing but coffee especially Lee University students and working professionals like myself. One important customer service is that they have free refills on coffee that is self serve. I usually stay about an hour to an hour and a half until I get caffeine up then go to work. However, today I also got sugared up which is unusual for me. They have expanded this location recently by adding an outside covered heated patio. The walls are mostly plate windows so the sun shines through. This makes for a perfect morning with coffee. On the outside is totally outside seating for when it is warmer. menu items ordered: hazelnut coffee and a pecan braid. The coffee was so good I had to go back for a refill. The pecan braid taste like a cinnamon roll except it has pecan bits in it. My advice is to tell them to heat it up a little before finding you a seat. In summary, sit in the new outside covered patio in the morning with your coffee. It's so pleasant and enjoyable yet quiet. Overall, great coffee shop if you ask me. read more

I just want to say thank you to the girl working drive thru this morning around 9:45 on 1-23-23. She was so friendly with a great attitude. Thank you for being so nice! read more

We eat at Panera ALOT- this one is our least favorite location. We rarely go and get an order that is correct. Something is either always left off or is incorrect- strawberry poppyseed chicken salad- no chicken? They also run out of stuff frequently- no regular cream cheese at 8:30 am? They seem to have a high turnover rate of people that work there but there is one consistent guy that is an asset to the company. Sadly I do not know his name- but he has been there for a very long time and he usually works the register. read more

I'm not really sure what has happened when it comes to making the Caesar salads, but I constantly get wilted rotten lettuce, no actual leafy green. I love Panera, but I wish they would make their salads better. read more

This is the only place in town that you can get a bowl of soup...a grilled cheese and two drinks for $30! Or you could just go get two steaks from basically any steak house in town. I seriously don't know how people afford to even think about eating here. read more

Although the food is alright my mom went there with a Panera certificate my teacher gave me and it was expired because my teacher had forgotten she had them so when she gave it to me she wrote a note on it asking if they could please let me use it but when my mom gave it to the worker the worker said that she doesn't care and that it's expired so she can't use it and that my mom should get out . read more

A great restaurant to relax as well as have an enchanting meal. High quality service. Jennnifer the cashier advised me the margherita flatbread pizza was a tasty entree to get. I recommend everyone come here for dining and peace of mind. read more

My son chose this for supper. We waited at least 5 minutes for someone to greet us at the counter which should have been assigned. The tables were not wiped off and there was visible trash several places on the floor. Overall not very clean! I would not go back. read more

I TRY so hard to enjoy Panera Bread, really I do. The food is good. However, I swear to the stars that everytime I go to ANY Panera Bread they have no Bread bowls!!! Like ALMOST always. How?!?!?!? It's in your name!!! I just don't get it and I LOVE their bread bowls. Only thing I eat there. Come on guys, get it right.... Ok, still here? Rant done. On to what I got and how I enjoyed it. The staff was SUPER friendly. Probably the best group I've met at a Panera Bread. The food was wonderful for what I had to "settle" for; Broccoli and cheddar soup and a Italian sandwich. The soup was really good, it always is. The sandwich shocked me: I had no clue they made such a good, crisp Italian! It was pretty vinegary, which was fine by me. But the texture of it was nice and unlike what I've had from other places. It was unique and I would love to have it again. OH and this location has a drivethrough. I've never seen that at a Panera! The three stars is for the utter disappoint upon finding out my worst fears of here were realized; no bread bowl. I can't stress this enough. The food is good, the food is so much better when you can actually order in full what you crave and love so much. read more
