Miranda and team are super friendly, working hard on large catering orders. Ice tea here almost always is good other than when they forget to turn on the cooling. Ice machine here a bit suspect - not always working. Sadly the French Ciabatta dipper wasn't as good as expected... minimal beef, too-thick bread, minimal mayo and cheese. The french onion soup itself was bland and tasted mostly of a brief wine flavor and salt... not rich with savory onions. read more

9/24/25: It's been awhile since coming to this Panera location. Had a craving for a baked good this morning. Ordered a Cranberry Orange Bread. It was moist and flavorful. Customer service was friendly and efficient as always. Extras: Restrooms were clean. A large parking area is available. Panera is always reliable and prices are reasonable. read more

The people are nice but the food has progressively become inedible. The corn chowder and all the thick soups seem to have a change in recipe and they all are sludge now. read more

The restrooms are down stairs and the ladies room is filthy all stalls have unflushed toilets worst bathroom I have seen in a long time

This location twice did not include chicken in my salad that supposed to have chicken (the word chicken is included in the name). If you order salads (especially those that include the word chicken) for takeout make sure you check your order before leaving the location. read more

I wanted to try their new menu breakfast items. They do not look like the advertisement. I got the cinnamon roll egg sandwich. It was not cut even and it wasn't sweet like a typical cinnamon roll. The orange scone was good but typical Panera quality and taste. The service was meh. I ordered at the kiosk for dine in and when they said my order was ready, it was not. The ambiance was that of a fast food restaurant. I don't like their hot coffee so I tried their cold brew. It wasn't any better. And they charge you extra for a flavor shot. Go at your own risk. I don't plan on going back. read more

The worst dirty and rude I'm Done .. don't bother my food was ready but didn't bother to call it out . I asked for bread and they gave me A torn piece that was wet like someone chewed on it .. disgusting This place is not following the standards of Panera.. way below don't stop at this one you will be disappointed read more

Pricey and not so tasty. I leave hungry each time. Soups loaded with sodium. Breads are ok. Rather visit a bakery shop that is known for outstanding breads. read more

I ordered the Toasted Garden Caprese sandwich. The mozzarella was rubbery and not "melty". The tomato was skimpy. The ciabatta was greasy from the vinaigrette. Mozzarella kept sliding out of the bread. I would lose the lettuce. On the good side there was plenty of seating at lunch time. Maybe there is a connection there? read more

My wife and I have been to a lot of Panera's. When in the Milburn area we decided to stop at this location, we both had the You pick 2. I had the Napa Almond Salad Sandwich with Broccoli Cheddar Soup and my wife had the Toasted Frontega Chicken Sandwich with Broccoli Cheddar Soup. The sandwiches and soups were excellent, my wife's soup was filled to the top but my soup was only filled half way up the cup. Many of the tables were not wiped down and had crumbs and liquid on them. I went to the rest room and the trash bin was overflowing and there were no paper towels ( I had to use toilet paper to wipe my hands) A very poor experience. I would try to avoid this Panera at all cost read more

Ordered a Smokehouse BBQ chicken sandwich and a salad online for pickup on a busy work day. Opened the sandwich to find ... no BBQ sauce. It's not a complex sandwich as far as Panera menus go. There's 4 players in this stage act and they missed the title actor. And they forgot to add my bread to the salad order, too. If I had any time I'd go back and complain. I'll give 2 stars because the salad was fine. I've been to this Panera before and while the staff are nice they mix up orders pretty often and this last time was once too many read more

I have ate from this location a few times now, never inside, always from orders that people brought to my job for a party. I have had a few of their bagels for breakfast and some of their sandwiches for lunch. Overall, I would rate their food average. The bagels are better than Dunkin, but not as good as a local mom and pop bagel shop. Same for the sandwiches. Just average. I believe this establishment falls under "fast food", so you cant expect best quality of products for fast food places. But, for something to be prepared quick, it gets the job done. Maybe some of their other bread items are better, as I believe this place is known for having good breads, but the bagels and sandwiches do not have top quality bread. read more

Placed a catering order at 12:15pm. Was told it would be delivered at 1:45. It was soup, salad and 6 sandwiches. I called at 2pm they told me it was delivered and they were busy and hung up. Called back 10 mins later to also being told it was delivered. I asked for a manager. They said they'll call back. 10 min later they call and say the messed up and never made our order. So I had a hangry boss and guests in our office with no lunch. Will never use this location again. This order was over $200. They lost steady business from our company. read more

The food is really good! And I always order the chipotle flatbread pizza. Customer service is great!

Came back to give it a try again. Quality has not improved at all from past several months. Now it's also way more expensive cause of inflation. Even their "bread" is a shrunken, dense, mess. read more

Panera Bread - Banana for scale. The crumb is so dense. Like it had no time to rise before baking - Sandwiches Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

This store is rated 2/5 for a reason. The employees are not trained on curbside pick ups. Ordered 3 times and all 3 were subpar experience. Yesterday avocado was missing in avocado egg sandwich. All 3 days I had to wait 15 minutes beyond promised pick up times even though no other customers were in the store. Today the delivery person proceeded to chit chat about how I should press I'm here and they don't "randomly" come out for curbside orders. I do not want to chit chat. They could just call the customers whose orders are ready, or at least notice that cars are waiting outside. SAFETY warning: They actually deliver on the driver side rather than passenger side, which would allow social distancing. On top of that the guy made unnecessary conversation that put my safety at risk. Will not go here again. read more

I love Panara. I give it 5 stars because for the price, the food is very delicious and also very fast. There are options for people with different dietary restrictions and there are also a lot of healthy options for a snack, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This particular location is very spacious and casual. There is free WiFi and a bathroom so it's a great place to work or get a quick bite. I brought their dessert to a party on NYE and it was a huge hit and cost me less than 10$ ! read more

Embarrassing. I would give zero stars if possible. Workers were down right comatose and borderline rude. Made a mistake on my order (completely fine) then returned with the correct 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwhich (nearly $6) I got ONE HALF of a piece of bacon!!!!! ONE HALF. Look at the pic! I will not return there or to another Panera anytime soon if EVER. Lunch for my wife and I (two - you choose two and 2 drinks) $28. As I said - embarrassing. read more

Panera Bread - 1/2 piece of bacon!!!!! EMBARRASSING!!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

As I have entered the corporate world with a traveling job, Panera has become a staple for me. I know my favorites and usually appreciate a consistent level of quality from Panera Breads, regardless of location. But the food here did not meet standards. My baguette was weirdly doughy (underbaked?) and the salad I ordered here did not feel fresh. This won't stop me from being a regular Panera customer, but I'll probably be avoiding this location when I can. read more

Have to join other reviewers of this Panera location in calling it mediocre at best. This is really a 2.5 star place. Have seen it go downhill over the years in terms of staff competence and turnover. They need to empty the trash more often. They need to listen when customers order. You know, make it seem like they care that we choose to spend our discretionary income THERE instead of another sandwich and soup mill. The food is still pretty good, but come on. For these prices, a little service may fairly be expected. Favorites here are the Thai chicken and orchard harvest salads (the latter is seasonal), the broccoli cheddar soup and the asiago roast beef sandwich. Their whole grain baguettes and asiago bread are quite good. The free wi-fi is nice, though. and It actually works. read more

The sandwiches were amazing ! Ordered ahead for pick up and was ready on time . Restaurant was clean and inviting .

This place is not cool. 1. Do not plan to use the computer and need an outlet . They only have a few working through the joint. I suggest cover them or repair them! 2. I was ushered all the way to the back of the restaurant next to the restroom. That was great. One of two outlets worked here. 3. The dag nabbit WiFi is very inferior.. DO NOT GO HERE FOR A WORK space WHILE DINING! 4. Sasha is a very kind and pleasant cashier. She made up for the experience. I left and went to Starbucks . Panera bye Felicia! read more

I have been to Panera Bread at other locations many times and have always looked on it as a decent quick service restaurant. This location however is the worst. They take a really long time to put together a simple order. You just have to peek at the kitchen to see the sheer chaos. The staff looks like they have no idea where anything is. Something seriously needs to be done about this location. Had to cancel my order and get my money back the other day. Do yourself a favor and order from the Chipotle across the street. read more

This location is the worst! I like Panera and have been to several of the other locations. This particular location is always filthy dirty - always dirty tables, food on the floor, trashcan overflowing... I ordered a green goddess salad with extra avocado (and paid additionally for it) it only had one small piece in the salad! You were thinking location like Short Hills this would be a pristine and clean environment! read more

They don't deserve one star, but there was nothing less than one star. I have visited several Panera Breads and had good experiences, but this one in Milburn/Short Hills is horrible. I ordered my breakfast at 9:30am by 10:40 I didn't het my breakfast but they charged my account. I later called and cancelled my order. They say the refund will take 7 to 10 business days. read more

came to this location as I was in the area and wanted to eat Panera. this place is very long so it was nice to see a lot of secluded seating where I can just really be in my comfort zone. there's a parking lot out front which is convenient, and then ordered on the kiosk. once my order was ready it came to my table via my buzzer so I didn't have to move, and I was able to help myself to water with their water cups/mugs. the food here isn't as good or plentiful as the other locations but it was doable. there's also wifi so you can do your work here and chill if need be. otherwise, the staff and nice and the place is clean. not bad read more

1- The manager Bill has a nasty attitude and poor customer service. I honestly don't know how he is the manager there because this isn't the first time I've had an issue with him and I've heard other people complain that he's nasty. Also he walked out the back area without his mask on. 2. The whole 20mins I was waiting for my food after my pick up time, a guy was standing there with no mask on. Employees saw him and no one said a word. 3. The social distance was horrible. 4. Customers were touching other people's bags when they weren't suppose too. read more

Bad customer service! They deserve no stars! Went here for breakfast and the manager and an employee were behind the counter. Neither one made eye contact or welcomed us, let alone asked if they could take our order. They totally ignored us. We tried using the kiosk when they walked away but the menu was limited and didn't allow us to modify it. When an employee walked behind the counter I asked if anyone's working today. She shrugged and said she worked in the kitchen not the front. We ended up walking out. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would! Ordered the green goddess salad - requested no tomatoes & add extra bacon. Instead, I was given my salad WITH tomatoes, no egg & no bacon. I politely asked for it to be remade and to-go this time. After waiting another 15 minutes, it is done. So I go to my car & open the bag. I notice 1. I wasn't given silverware or napkins, and 2. They forgot the egg. At this point I was late to get back to my office so I ran back in just to get a fork. Once I get to my desk and begin eating... I find a nice long hair embedded in the salad. I threw it out. Waste of $13. read more

The bathroom was filthy and our bread was undercooked. Odd odor in the air that smelled like lingering garbage. On the bright side the employee who brought our food to the table was sweet and very helpful. I love Panera but would never go back to this one again. read more

Really? It's 2017. Even McDonalds has realized that people want breakfast all the time. This particular Panera denied breakfast at 11:02. They stopped serving breakfast at 11. That's not just stupid, it's so anti-customer it's beyond words. The customer is always right - except at Panera Millburn - where the person behind the counter has no power to do the right thing. Thanks for empowering your people management in Millburn. You should be so proud. Ask Harvard to study your business. Well done. Never. Ever. Coming. Back. You can take your free birthday pastry and stick it. read more

This place steals money from you. Every time I've ordered--literally every time-- my order is either messed or missing something. This has been an issue for months, and it's only getting worse. No one seems to care there either. When you call to speak to a manager, most of the time no one picks up. The food is decent, but the terrible customer service and the high price is unacceptable. read more

This Panera is the worst Panera I have been to. I travel all over the country for my job and I love eating breakfast and lunch at Panera. But this location is subpar. The staff all acts like they do t want to be there. Today a watched a women in front of me in line order a bagel. I order a egg sandwich and my wife also ordered the same, we ate all are food and the poor women walked back to thE counter and asked where is my bagel. The women at the counter said it's coming. I then ordered another egg sandwich received my second sandwich and started eating when the women came back up and asked again where is my bagel it's been 30 minutes. The worst part of this is we were the only two customers in Panera, what would they do if the place had ten people? read more

They run out of sour dough bread literally every single day. I usually order by 1 or 2pm and they never have it. Either take that off the menu or make more, obviously it is popular if you never have it! read more

Panera is probably my favorite of the "fast food bakery" chains. Their bread is always fresh, and they offer a wide array of sandwiches, paninis, soups, and salads with unique combinations. They recently started serving "Crispani" pizzas with extra-thin crusts. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a meal from Panera, which is saying a lot! My other favorite thing about Panera is that most locations offer free WiFi! This is a great advantage to outlets like Starbucks that charge a fee to use the network. The convenient location of this branch on Morris Turnpike makes it a good place to stop for a quick meal if you are passing through the area. read more

This location is poorly managed, probably because management itself turns over often at this location. 5th time buying a coffee cup for Hazlenut Coffee, and they DO NOT have it available. The last 3 times, I had to tell someone that they are out of the coffee, and THEN they start to figure out what to do next -- no one is monitoring coffee levels in the mornings at least. And operationally, they are just confused. This time and the last time, they decide to brew other coffee flavors (like Dark Roast) instead of Hazlenut -- EVEN THOUGH the flavor they are choosing to brew is NOT even 1/2 gone on the counter carafe. Does this make sense? You run out of a specific flavor of coffee, so you go and brew ANOTHER flavor. This happened the last two times I've been there. Thus you have to wait approx 15 minutes to get a cup of the flavor you want. Also today, when ordering a bagel with my coffee, the server discovered that they were out of plates, only AFTER toasting my bagel. So you had to wait again to have people find/bring out clean plates from the back. Seriously, no plates? And if they run out, they don't have more ready to go in the back? They have to wash and dry them only at that point when they run out of them in the front? Cold toasted bagels aren't fun, are they? A quick look around, and the place is a mess. There's spilled milk literally all over the coffee station counter. Tons of garbage, paper wrappers, dirt on the floor behind the counters (seriously, take a look the next time you're in there). And oh yeah, don't ever get a lemon by the drink stand. While I"m writing this, I'm watching an employee pick up lemons that fell on the counter with her own bare hands and then simply put them back into the lemon bin for other customers to take later. Eewww. The only reason to come here is location / convenience. Not for service or product. We always have hope in this new manager. He's save the day...right? read more

Food is fine, like other Panera franchise locations, but seriously lacks in quality customer service and welcoming atmosphere. It's a hit-and-run-to-go-order-spot-when-in-a-pinch place at best. If you are in this area, you would be better off eating at a local deli. read more
