Had to try their new "Salad Stuffers" because um, they fully had me at the idea of a stuffed baguette. It's exactly what it sounds like - salad meets sandwich. You can fill their Italian "stuffer" roll with ANY half salad on the menu for truly the perfect on-the-go meal. I went with a classic chicken Caesar because I felt that was a safe option to start with, and I wasn't wrong! It was actually really yummy and a great combo. It was also a little bigger than anticipated which was a nice surprise. The bread was just the right amount of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and then add in the extra crunch of the salad and croutons - it was quite an experience to say the least. Definitely going to try it with the Asian sesame salad next! Love this location in the Lakeland Plaza shopping center, and I especially love the convenient drive-thru. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

Great sandwiches and soups. Quick service, priced fairly, and plenty of locations. Appreciate the many options.

Good service for the most part. They were out of anything that required milk products... The coffee was some of the worst I've ever had... not a fan read more

Panera was just a quick drive thru stop for me earlier to pick up my daily sip club drink! I had only placed my online order moments before, so was not expecting them to have it ready when I went to the drive thru, but to my surprise, they were able to make it so quickly! The amazing young lady working the drive thru at the time gave me such a warm smile and was so polite. While my visit was a mere couple of minutes, she made it so lovely! read more

I really like Panera Bread. You can order quickly and get your food in minutes. They have many different choices on their menu. The food is very good. Great place to go with a group as the restaurant is roomy with many choices for seating. read more

I love Panera! Everything I've ever had is delicious! My personal favorite is a bread bowl of the broccoli and cheese soup.

This is our local Panera. We are here daily. It gets alot of business and traffic. Ppl are eating, conducting business, etc. We have the sip club monthly membership. It's pretty awesome. Every two hours, the benefit refreshes. The app is very usable too. They struggle sometimes. They run out of hazelnut coffee a lot. The bathrooms can be rough. They are very, very busy and I know they are trying. Keep striving for excellence. read more

We came in with a large group of students on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. Our food came out promptly and everyone's order was correct. My flatbread was warm, had plenty of toppings to the edge of the pizza! The staff was helpful and very courteous. read more

I went to this Panera Bread on October 18. It was my first time visiting the place. The food was great and the atmosphere was good. The service was good One little problem that I have is that the bread with my order was a little hard. It was so hard that I couldn't even cut it. But that's just a minor problem that I have. Overall I would come back here again in the near future read more

Panera is not what they used to be. Or maybe it's just the individual Panera. I ordered a bacon and spinach soufflé and I'm guessing they changed the way they make them. Absolutely disgusting not what it used to be. I will never ever order that again, nor will I ever go back to that Panera. Don't waste your time. You'll be very disappointed. I've been a patron of Panera bread for over 15 years and it's truly sad how bad the quality has gone. read more

Don't go here if you don't have an hour plus to wait for three simple pre made items. The promised times mean nothing. Staff isn't friendly when it comes to these times and will lie and make up excuses. Multiple people waiting 30+ minutes for a singular item. Don't go here they don't value you or your time. read more

Got a BBQ chicken sandwich and the chicken was full of fat! The soup was too thick and the sweet tea was like drinking sugar. I will never go back. read more

I came in with a group of friends for a QUICK dinner. I ordered a Greek chicken salad with a cookie and a drink. Easy right? WRONG! My sister ordered her food under my name so I could get the points, thinking there would be no trouble at all. My sister got her food wayyy before me yet she ordered after me. So I ask the lady what the problem is and the lady said "we never made it" WHAT?? You never made MY food.. so they say they will make it. I get called up again and they give me the COMPLETE WRONG ITEM! So I tell them that Is NOT my order. After some banter between them they say they will make it. They call my name again and I FINALLY get my food, 30 MINUTES after my friends got theirs. So disappointing. I have been hyping Panera bread up for days and you let me down. It was my friends FIRST time and she had to come into this disgrace. I am appalled she had to have that for her first time. The only thing saving this review from a 1 star was the food. Which wasn't even above average. read more

Service at this place is so slow, ordered at drive thru 30 min ago and still standing in line. Guy also messed up my order. read more

Panera Bread - Ordered soup got muffin - Sandwiches Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

**Very Clean Bathroom Alert** You know, Panera really has hung on for dear life. They really did seem to take the pandemic in stride. In my native mid-Atlantic, they were one of the first appearances of the fast-casual niche, sometime back in the late 1990's. Even still, the St-Louis - based company has since popped up everywhere, slinging their sandwiches, soups and what-have you. My family stopped at this location in transit south from the Georgia mountains. This was a nice stop, honestly. I'm not picky when traveling and the only time I get grumpy is when a well-known chain over-promises. This was not the case here. First, this location is really, really large. The dining room looks to accomodate maybe 150 seated? With the great amount of local business activity, I bet their lunch rush really is something. Second, the bathrooms are really clean here. They smelled nice and were super accomodating. So traveling families, take a hint and stop by if you expect potty breaks. Third, the food was as Panera-ish as ever. I nabbed a Bacon Turkey Bravo, a mainstay on their menu for decades. It was as turkey-ey and tomatoey as ever. My kids each had a nice bagel with cream cheese. Anyway, on the spectrum of Panera Niceness, this location seems pretty high on the list. No problems of which to speak. read more

Panera will always be one of those "safe" places for me, as far as food goes. There's something for everyone. I stopped by this location one weekday for a late lunch. There's ample parking around the restaurant and plenty of overflow parking available in the shopping center. I was greeted immediately upon entering. The space is clean, open, and naturally bright. Nice, modern interior. Plenty of seating and great for working. There are lots of outlets to plug in your devices as well as semi-private areas to work quietly. My go-to orders are usually the Frontega Chicken Panini $8.59, Modern Greek with Quinoa Salad $9.99, and or Vanilla Cinnamon Roll $2.79. However, at this visit I went with: Half Modern Greek with Quinoa Salad $5.79 Broccoli Cheddar Soup cup $5.19 Cold Brew Madagascar Vanilla Cream $3.49 Chocolate Chip Cookie $.99 (reward) I've never had any issues with the taste or quality of my food at any Panera, including this one. The Frontega chicken panini comes with basil, focaccia, mozzarella, red onions, Chipotle mayonnaise, smoked pulled chicken, salt & pepper, and sliced tomatoes, served warm. Yummy! The modern Greek with quinoa salad is composed of feta, cucumber, kale, almonds, kalamata olives, Greek dressing, quinoa tomato sofrito blend, and romaine lettuce. I sometimes add grilled chicken if I am ordering a whole salad. Love the textures and flavors. The broccoli cheddar soup is rich and creamy with chunks of vegetables. Great flavor. The vanilla cinnamon roll is to die for! Especially when you get it first thing in the morning when it's fresh. Satisfies my sweet tooth everytime! Most of their pastries do. I occasionally get a reward for $0.99 any cookie for using my Panera card, and I get the chocolate chip cookie which is always delicious. The cookies are huge, too. The cold brew coffee was sweet and refreshing. The service during my visit was wonderful. The staff members I encountered were very friendly and helpful! read more

Panera Bread - Cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup $5.19 & Half Modern Greek with Quinoa Salad $5.79 - Sandwiches Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

A decent OTP PB. My main reason for dining at PB is to get fast healthy food. This restaurant was acceptable for that. My pictured spicy Thai chicken salad was good and comparable to other PBs. No complaints on the food. Service is slow here. There were folks in line for the lunch hour rush that seemed to be taking a lot of time, so used the kiosk instead. Usually you get a pager at the kiosk that goes off when you order is ready for pickup; but at this location you get a 'hard coded number' you put face up on your table and they bring the food to you. Nice touch. When my order came asked the guy for some jelly, and next thing I know the manager is at my table apologizing and asking me if there is anything else he can do. Seemed like overkill for slight problem, but another nice touch that the manager took the time to stop by. Lots of tables with dirty dishes on them and found out why after eating. Normally at PB you take your dirty dishes to the collection area, but could not find a collection area in this location! So after wandering around for awhile just left my dirty dishes up front. Free wifi. But no morning paper here. Calorie count on all the items on the menu. Enjoy healthy fast food, but good luck finding clean table. FYI: Close to Lake Lanier. We actually did a hike there before lunch, see separate review for that. read more

Nice and spacious Panera Bread with friendly and fast service. The pastry selection was limited during my visit, hence the 4 stars. The restaurant was clean and I appreciate the convenience of the drive-thru when I'm in a hurry. read more

Literally just told the Kids Turkey Deli Sandwich is not an option from the individual working here. It's on the menu, I can order it online but can't order it in person. read more

I really like Panera. It's sort of my go to when I can't think of anything else to eat. It also reminds me of my grandma as it was one of her favs. Love the chicken and wild rice soup in a bread bowl. Love the tuna sandwich on tomato basil bread. Panera is the first place where I ever tasted spicy mustard on a tuna sandwich and it sort of stuck with me. read more

The food was very disappointing when I returned to get a sandwich that I had ordered once before. This was a very disappointing experience as I paid $11 for a sandwich that had a few crumbles of bacon, one slice of avocado and a pinch of cheese. I will not be wasting my money here again. The employees were also very rude. read more

This was the most disappointing sandwich I have ever eaten from Panera. Chipotle Avocado sandwich. I had a hard time understanding the lady at the drive through. I felt bad I had to have her repeat herself over and over. The food was just awful. The chicken was stringy. read more

Multiple hair in the order, and a rotten taste in the sandwich, the place is pretty empty all the time, wrong location, i guess

I have tried this location twice and they really need to get some hustle on. My mom loves the broccoli cheese soup, so glad to bring her and portions are adequate for Sr citizens. Biggest downfall is service- always slow with just 3 people in line , but nobody seems to like their job. So for a $5.49 for a half small panini with virtually no meat, 3.79 for the soup , drinks are $2.50, chips are free. So for $12 each its a steep price so beware of extra drink cost, service. The pastries are good, soups are good and I've seen large salads I will try next in hopes of more stars. Hate to give 2, but value and wait time killed 2. Will still return if asked and with the crowd of people there , it's shows it has potential to be what we expect in a Panera ! read more

Not impressed with Panera. To begin with, the Parking lot is awkward. In my opinion, its not laid out properly. When you try to park near the front door (waiting on somebody to pull out), you end up blocking the drive thru. Strange setup. Ladies Bathroom - looks like it hasn't been cleaned that often. It was 11:30 the day we came, you can tell by the dust on the sink that it had not been cleaned recently (that dirt doesn't appear overnight). Also, the giant toilet paper roll was not on the holder - thats just tacky. Nobody is apparently monitoring the bathroom. Service - counter service was slow. While i was ordering another employee came to talk to the cashier in the middle of my order, that was odd? Price/Value - I am sorry but $25 for lunch for the both of us seems high for a half sandwich, cup of soup and a fountain drink. I eat out alot at lunch and for $12, i can get a more substantial meal elsewhere. Food - soups arrived warm, not hot. I had the (half) steak sandwich. Way overcooked, same with mom's grilled cheese sandwich - she had to tear off all the crust, it was way to hard. Baguette side bread was good. No Sweet Tea??? - wait a minute, I ordered and paid for 2 sweet teas, however their fountain drink area does not have "brewed" sweet tea. They offer unsweet tea with some "pump" syrup sugar to make the tea sweet! Oh no, how does that work? I have no idea how many pumps make sweet tea. So, a manager was standing there and i asked "how can i get sweet tea?" He said sweet tea is only offered through the drivethru. I have never heard of that before! Thats not normal to me at all. I then ask how manny pumps of this syrup makes sweet tea? He said he didn't know as they brew tea for the drive thru. At this point i was hoping he would say let me get you some from drive thru, but that didn't happen. I tried to make the tea sweet, but couldn't get it right with that syrup. So i was stuck with Sierra Mist that tasted flat. Bummer!! Looks like most of the customers they have are working in their laptops. They do have a nice large dining area. Other than the occasional Awesome Asiago cheese bagel I order for breakfast, i don't have any reason to visit this Panera. read more

Been sitting in the drive through for 30 + minutes and can't get out. Terrible slow service

hit or miss on actually getting a full meal inside inside your to go order. Staff is always very friendly though!

Very disappointing experience, not once, not twice more than 3 times. Everytime we order and make any special request, there is always a miscommunication between the cashier and the person who prepares the order. When we go to collect the food we have to inform that the order is wrong and not done as requested. They not only claim that we dint request but show a lot of attitude followed by an eye rolling. With heavy disgruntled tone they redo the order and literally shove it to us. I really dont want to think this as an race descrimation, but the amount of time this has happened to me especially in cumming store makes me wonder. If they dont want to serve me they as well not take the order instead of mistreating esp when I take my 2 kids. Disappointing there is no manager in charge to even address these issues in store. I used to love Panera Bread, but after my 4th bad experience today, I swear I am not bringing my family here again. read more

Tea Anyone??? With 8 people on staff during the time I was there, no one knows how to clean this??? Wonder how long it's been since the last tome these were cleaned? Also makes me wonder how the rest of the kitchen area is cleaned considering we don't actually see that area. Panera, y'all have got to be kidding me!!! read more

Cashier was cutting and preparing bread on the counter next to the cash register. Very unsanitary practice. All the coffee was cold. We asked several times for hot coffee and 15-20 minutes later hot coffee was provided way after me finished our breakfast. There were less the ten customers so there is no excuse. Both restrooms were filthy. Papers everywhere some kind of white stuff by the toilet. The toilets were dirty. Toilet paper wasn't in the holder just sitting there. Trash cans were very dirty. We had the quiche and they were Luke warm. All in all not a pleasant experience. DO NOT go to this Panera. read more

One of my bosses likes to eat here, so we go fairly often. I've tried many different things on the menu - it's expensive, marginal fare. The portions are extremely small for the price and lack any excitement. The exception would be the cinnamon roll, which is tasty and has a hint of orange. I tried the blueberry - pomegranate smoothie today. It was OK. Given a choice I would not go back, but my boss does not give us a choice. Oct 16 - way too expensive and small portions. read more

Absolutely the worst experience I've had in a restaurant and I eat out a lot. Ordered the Bacon Avacado melt and it had no avocado on it. Not so bad except there was no one in the kitchen area to address this and had to go to the order desk to try and remedy the situation. AND, I ordered a sandwich to go it was literally a couple slices of ham and a couple of slices of cheese slapped between two pieces of whatever appeared to be day old bread with no mayo no mustard, didn't even cut in half. When I went back to the window the guy who walked up didn't appear to know what to do. Finally a manager walked up and said "kids meal sandwiches come like that". We did not order a kids meal. Horrible. Will never return. read more
