The young man taking orders seemed unsure of himself and it took a long time to even get to order even though there was only one couple in front of us. We finally gave up and ordered with the kiosk, but you have to stand in line to get your cups for beverages, so that negates any benefit you might receive from using it. The food was good, but not great. I remember it being a lot better at other Panera locations. read more

Truly respect this chain in many cities I've traveled. Have always had great experience. But this one needs attn from main office. Team is purposely rude. They try hard to ensure we know they are being rude. They are fishing to trigger their customers . I sat in the lobby for 1.5 hours trying to have a small business meeting and could not believe the lack of professionalism. I felt I was at a Popeyes Chicken !!! Crew wing rude with customers and yelling the table numbers versus being food to customers !! Operation Leadership - get here and get this team aligned!!! read more

Panera Bread - Food was great!! Service horrible !!! - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

I'm giving this restaurant one star as there isn't an option for zero. My wife is sick so what would be better than Panera Bread Soup? I Placed my order for a drive through pickup, paid and drove to Panera Bread on University which is a few minutes from our house. Upon arrival I found a small 4 door car parked in the entrance to the drive through blocking access. No sign or indication of why the drive thru was blocked. I drove an around front and placed a telephone call to the restaurant. It rang and rang and rang with no answer. I wasn't dressed to go inside this the drive thru order. So I pulled around and backed up to the drive thru window. I couldn't see through so I reached over and found the window unlocked and easily opened. The telephone was still ringing loudly and I could see two people, maybe three, at the other end of the bar talking. Phone ringing loudly. I finally blew my horn and a young black female came to the window and demanded to know if I opened the window. I assured her I opened the window as it appeared no one inside was going to open the window or answer the telephone. Her demeanor was anything but friendly, still stuck on my opening the window. Probably because they had been caught doing nothing, letting the phone ring when they should have been working. I asked what was wrong with you people. This automatically triggered hostility in the young lady, hands on hip, "what do you mean, you people". I told her we weren't going to woke, you people are the people standing in Panera Bread, posing as employees and clearly not doing your job. That's who you people are. I asked her to issue a refund which she did. I'll be scratching that restaurant off my go to list. I hope you don't receive the same lever of service but read more

The food is amazing! Love the sandwiches and the desserts! The service is amazing and the always have a great selection of food

Absolutely NOT Never again This establishment was good about 5years ago and ran smooth Since it has gone with all ethnic employees it has gone down hill The service was slow and laborious Talk about feeling unwelcome The food was prepared wrong but how dare we say anything about it Made to feel Like we owe the employees for wasting their time Sad because we love this chain But not in B/CS Smelled the distinct smell of marijuana on an employee and smelled it bad in the parking lot and saw an employee get out of his car This is what happens when an establishment goes woke read more

The service was extremely sloooow! My wife dropped me off,went to Chipotle, got her order, came back and was waiting outside for me! The person that took my order was very nice which is why I gave them 2 stars rather than one star. The food was not very good either. Salad had just huge chuncks of uncut lettuce. read more

Went through the drive through and the guy sounded like he just got out of bed. Tried to order the spinach and bacon soufflé and he didn't know what I was talking about. After finally getting my order in I asked him for hot sauce on the side and he said "ummmmmm...we don't have hot sauce." I said ok and then he goes "we only have Tabasco packets." Does he not know what hot sauce is??? I work in the restaurant industry and this was one of the worst experiences I have had in a while. If you serve breakfast you should probably get workers that are fully awake and competent to take orders. When I receive my order he hands me the soufflé with no hot sauce or napkins and hands me my iced VANILLA latte with no vanilla in it. read more

Yall I ordered a croissant I asked for it to be heated up and the worker literally gave it to me and pointed me to the microwave in the corner other than this, the food was mediocre at best and gave me everything a hospital cafeteria gave. Workers were very nice I will say! This restaurant has plummeted from greatness read more

I was scared for my life. They were SO rude and literally were screaming at all of the customers. Management is so horrible. The only nice person was the guy with a bunch of earrings and glasses who served the food. read more

I just bought bagels and cream cheese the honey walnut, the cream cheese taste spoiled. I have had it before and it never taste this way, I called and spoke to a manager, I told her to try the cream cheese cause it taste bad, she replied oh no I don't eat cream cheese cause it taste like that it has no sugar in it, I know how cream cheese supposed to taste especiallythe honey walnut one, she did not act like a manager, she did not say oh Im sorry, bring it back for new ones, I apologize I will fix this, nothing! read more

I had one of the worst customer service experiences yesterday. The woman taking the drive through orders could not have been more rude of customer service focused. After ordering, she didn't acknowledge my order at all and just said 'drive forward'. Not 'Please drive forward' or I'll have your total at the window....etc. At the window she said my total and took my card and handed it back without another work" Then handed me the bag of food. I asked if my waters were in the bag. Pretty abruptly she said "no - i don't have them out yet." then finally handed me the waters and I asked if I could please also have them in a bag. After rolling her eyes, she handed me my waters and a paper bag so I could bag them myself. Panera has gone down hill for some time now. I'm probably done with them. Based on their overall rating, I don't appear to be alone. read more

Food was great! Staff was very friendly and you could tell they were all hustling to get orders out in time. Had a great lunch!

Just made my last visit to Panera. Caesar salad is mostly stems & not many leafy greens. I ordered one of the new sandwiches - caprese. One small piece of mozzarella, 2 cherry tomatoes, a few greens, no balsamic glaze & most of the sandwich was bread. read more

Would not even consider this place a restaurant. The stuff they tried to pass off as food has clearly been in a freezer for over 6 months. Soggy, tasteless, and stale. On top of the poor food, they try to charge $12 for a cup of soup. Panera as a chain is a rip off but this location is highway robbery. Avoid at all costs unless your prepared to skip payment of next months rent along with your next shift of work. You'll be on bed rest due to rotten chicken. read more

Typically I adore Panera, but the service was just so terrible that I don't think I'll ever go back to this location. I sat waiting for my order to be taken at the drive thru for nearly 20 minutes after being told to "wait". Eventually I pulled away and gave up but as I pulled out I noticed no one in the drive thru, only 4 cars in the lot, and all of the worker just chatting in the kitchen with a few glued to their phones. Corporate really needs to do an audit of this location. I highly doubt they'd pass. read more

i was really sad to see our chicken salad came without lettuce. I've always loved their food but like what am i supposed to eat with this :( Anyway I can't even try to get my money back bc their app has been down for two days. i'll be back but i'll be bitter read more

Feeling like eating fresh and healthy so I tried the spinach artichoke soufflé very fresh and delish. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and calm also conducive for heath. The service was adequate and only requires that to order food at register and have a seat. She did tell us to enjoy delivery of breakfast sandwich read more

Panera Bread - "Grilled cheese" - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

Great place to study, especially in the heat of finals. Lots of windows and free refills of coffee and fountain drinks all day.

The good: The woman who took my order and the woman that brought me my order were very kind. My food was good. The bad: The kitchen staff is very loud. I should not be able to hear them talking about their personal lives or the customers. Their banter was very loud and obnoxious. It messes with the ambiance of the entire restaurant as it is all you can hear if you sit inside. More importantly I don't want to hear them carrying on like that or hearing the lead kitchen person yelling "Order! OrdIt's poor customer service. Message to the Manager: Tell your staff to keep the noise down. read more

Food has been going downhill at this place over the last two years. How many Tikka Masala dishes can they have on the menu? Fusion food is fine but I go to Panera for variety not to have the same flavor across the board. A big turn-off... openly pot-smoking folks in restrooms. The stench was unbearable. read more

Lady (Shakitra is on receipt but Carolyn on her name tag) taking orders today is naturally rude, yes it's her personal demeanor. I knew what I wanted and she over spoke while I was talking, then proceeded to correct me as if I'm a child. A little bit of manors and courtesy, goes a long ways. So even if I needed to be corrected, let's try and do it in a polite way. In the end, I had to teach her how her credit card machine works. If you don't want to work there, move along. read more

The food isn't the same quality as other locations. The service is poor and surly. Ask a question about anything on the menu and get an eye roll. I've never had a poor experience at any other location. This was my third, and final trip, to this location. The food here is overpriced when it's coupled with bland preparation and incredibly surly service. Also, their phone doesn't work. read more

Vegan options are limited but here's a good one: the Mediterranean bowl. Just order without feta and yogurt. Sizable portion of spring greens, quinoa, hummus, tomato, cucumber, kalamata olives and tahini. Really good flavors and good quality. Two improvement options: a little fresh lemon juice and a few pita chips on the side instead of the baguette. Really surprised with this dish and not a bad vegan option if you end up coming here with a group of friends. read more

Panera is already pretty disappointing, often compared to overpriced hospital food but this is probably the worst panera i've been to. It's almost guaranteed that unless you're dining in, they will always forget items. I was feeling a bit under the weather so i ordered for pick up; had i checked before i left the lot, i would have noticed they didn't include a baguette or my soups fixin's. I luckily got my lemonade before leaving. If you order delivery or pick up, i've now learned, you should triple check! read more

Our first visit to this Panera. We have been to many other locations across the country and have always enjoyed their salads and breads. No one was at the cash register but eventually a man who was restocking the breads came over to help us. Not particularly friendly, acted like we were interrupting his work. Guess he forgot that without customers, restaurants don't stay in business long. He didn't have answers to some fairly simple questions so maybe he was new and needed more training. Anyway we ordered greek salads, a Margherita flatbread. and two hot coffees. The coffee area was not fully stocked and the only carafe there had cold coffee in it. A lady from the food prep area finally came over since the gentleman who took our order was totally baffled about what to do to remedy the matter and told us that she would make fresh coffee. The salads were typically good and the flatbread was good as well. Once we good the coffee, it was excellent. We probably won't put this location on our most favored location list. read more

Nice for a quick bite to eat or to relax and enjoy. Nice for family, friends or eating solo. Nice for groups or small business meetings. Order through kiosk or through app. There is a all you can drink program as they have great drinks. If you are am American Express card holder they normally have offers for Panera Bread sometimes. ENJOY! read more

Terrible service!!! They didn't have the sandwich I ordered. I ordered curbside pickup and the lady had the nerve to ask me for a Tip!!! I didn't have my so I gave her my debit card to take back inside. She came back out and said the register's were closed. Then had the nerve to ask me to go to the ATM machine at bank next door. So I went and got a $20 and came back and said she couldn't get any change. But sure enough she said she had two $5's. So reluctantly I gave her a $10 tip for a $12 replacement sandwich !!! Probably never going back!!! read more

On a Saturday morning at Texas A&M, there are not many places to have a good breakfast and gather your thoughts for the day (Saturday, February 10, 2018). Panera was not only open at 7am, the food was ready and the employees were smiling! My helper, Diana, took my order: a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and a big glass of water. I was able to relax and get myself ready for my day. I had a small issue, I forgot my whiteout. Dylan, the Manager, was quick to help! With a genuine smile, he found me whiteout and then offered to help me with anything else! I enjoyed a relaxing morning at Panera! If you are in need of a relaxing way to start your day, be sure to stop by Panera! The food is made just the way you like it and it is made by people that actually want to help you! Most Sincerely! read more

Panera Bread - Diana made my breakfast: a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and a big glass of ice cold water! - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

This is my first experience at a Panera and to say I'm unimpressed is an understatement. They were out of ALL chips & ALL lemonades and so my side was baguettes... exactly what everyone wants more bread with a sandwich?? Then they threw the baguettes on top like this which seems lazy and unsanitary. The avocado on my sandwich was clearly not ripe as I almost broke a tooth when I bit into it. The woman working the window was fine. I won't be going back. read more

Panera Bread - a variety of breads in a paper bag - Sandwiches Near Me - College Station, Texas

I'd not been to Panera Bread in quite a while. So today my granddaughter wanted to eat lunch there so of course that's where we went. The lady who was at the front taking orders was so rude. When we walked in I explained to her it would be a few minutes so that we could decide, and we had stepped back and the only customers in the store. She in a few minutes asked very rudely if we were going to order or looking at the menu, I expressed we were still deciding and she became quite agitated. We order and ate, and went back to order a smoothie for my granddaughter and again was very rude. However, Luisa on the other hand as a server was very sweet. read more

They literally left out my chipotle sauce. Like my sand-which was just turkey and bread. Not to mention they were out of flatbread when we tried to order pizza. I ordered a chipotle sandwich and did not get chipotle. DRY SANDWICH read more

We ordered thru the ap. We discovered our order was wrong when we returned home . We paid for extras for our salads which we didn't get. One of the salads was the wrong type. We sat at the window for quite a while. When I knocked on the window a very impolite employee told me to give her just a minute. When I asked what she said I was met with a very rude explanation. We will probably not return to this establishment. read more

Very expensive for what you get. You can get better and cheaper muffins at HEB or Walmart. Good service, but very overpriced. Not that impressed. read more

Panera is usually a good place to get yummy Mac and cheese and fresh baked bread when in a time pinch. Unfortunately the college station Panera has proven to be extremely underwhelming with fall apart sandwiches, that are missing the cheese and cold Mac and cheese. I'd recommend visiting a different location to get a good Panera experience. Also when getting our order the lady did not ask our side preferences and stuck us with one baguette and one bag of chips. read more

Ordered through the drive through. came out fast but all of our sandwhiches were smashed and there was more bread than the actual sandwhich.

Miranda is HORRIBLE. Don't know how she has a job. rudest employee i've ever encountered at a Panera. She rolls her eyes, has an attitude, makes ridiculous remarks on the intercom. very immature and classless person. read more
