I have used this place for catering many times over the years, but unfortunately, my experience has been consistently disappointing. While the food itself may be good, as it follows the chain's standard menu, their catering service and customer support are extremely lacking. I often felt overcharged, and follow-up communication was poor. There seems to be very little concern for customer satisfaction or maintaining long-term relationships with loyal customers. Thankfully, there are several other catering options in the area that provide much better service, pricing transparency, and customer care. As someone who regularly placed catering orders, I am disappointed to say they have lost a frequent customer. read more

Overall the meal was decent. Wish the grilled cheese was on different bread and toasted more. Also that the tomato soup had slightly a bit more flavour. The strawberry drink was really good and refreshing. The staff were very friendly and helped me choose this amazing drink read more

Excellent baked product! Panera has the product, and good coffee to go with it! The baked goods are fresh, unfortunately the concept needs to be refreshed! Cobs and others just move baked goods, Panera also offers a sit down and relax environment far superior to the Tim Horton experience ! Morre of a European cafe style! A great offering read more

good food i like it very spicy love the panera bread very buttery come here if your in the area

We like Panera especially in soup season. We love being able to have a small soup and a half sandwich. Delicious! Everything that we have tried is delicious. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. If I have one complaint, it's that there is not enough seating. S2 read more

First time in Panera since it moved. Brought back lots of great memories of the whole Panera experience. Smaller location,same good quality.

I stopped in for my birthday promo, one free baked good. Selection is not as diverse thought it was 6pm. I picked up the chocolate croissant, it was over baked, crunchy outside, dry inside. Regularly this is under $4. After trying the baked good, may not buy it in the future but the coffee is okay here. When redeeming the birthday promo, phone number and/or email is checked at this location to confirm membership. read more

I went there yesterday this is the one of the best place to eat burrito. Nav is the employee who served me. She was very helpful and polite.

Quality is always good, service is fast. I just wish they'd bring back their French onion and mushroom soups!

The staff are very friendly and are willing to help answer any questions. The menu is quite extensive and I like that you can create your own combos and the staff always have recommendations on hand so definitely ask them if you have any questions. The food however is ok. They are known for their fresh ingredients however the food is very mediocre and tastes like I can make it at home. I do appreciate that there is something for everyone however this would not be my first choice to dine read more

My sister has a milestone birthday today so I'm treating her to an outing. She chose this venue. I ordered a Pick 2 combo of any half Sandwich, half sandwich, cup of soup, small Mac& cheese, one flatbread ; 1/2 Cuban Panini, Tomato Basil bread, cup Turkey Chili, and an Apple Service was excellent and the food was good. read more

Consistently inconsistent. I go to this location since it's closer to my office than Square One, but it's probably worth the drive to Square One after the last couple visits I've had. On several visits they don't add the croutons to the tomato soup. Minor detail, but definitely a quality issue. One visit I ordered and paid for a bowl of tomato soup, drove back to the office only to find out they gave me a cup. I had to drive back to get the bowl that I paid for. Rather than pouring new soup into the proper size, they dumped my lukewarm soup into a new bowl and added a small scoop. I also ordered the modern Greek quinoa salad and instead of feta, they sprinkle parmesan - this is a first... They usually have chunks of feta and suddenly is a sprinkle of what looks like Kraft parmesan. If they ran out, that's fine but at least inform the customer of the substitution! Quality issues are huge here... read more

Panera Bread - Parmesan on a Greek salad??????? - Salad Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Honestly, I don't understand what all the hype is about. Despite what others have said, the prices are outrageous for what you get. I guess when you are posting your calorie count, you're forced to provide smaller portions to make it 'appear' as though they are a healthy option. Keep an eye out though, some of those posted are for only half a serving! I opted for the broccoli and cheddar soup with a half turkey and avocado BLT and although the flavour was spot on, the quantity didn't justify the price. This was my first time at Panera so I will definitely give them another go. The service at this location was okay, nothing spectacular so I was left feeling just 'okay' about the place and a tad disappointed with my first experience at Panera. I really expected to be wowed based on what I had heard about them. Oh well, maybe next time. read more

I always love coming here for the soup salad Panini's or the delicious mac & cheese. Not to mention the delicious bagels and bakery goods but my absolute favorite are the chocolate chippers cookies that are always warm. I love how I can always come here weather I have a cold and I wanna warm chicken noodle soup or I want something more hearty like a mac & cheese or a broccoli and cheddar soup. I will continue to come back here read more

I coworker of mine told me their soups are really good and I should try them. It took me a while but I did. I was always distance about trying this place just because I heard it was over priced for the food. Mind you some of the food is on the pricey side, but if you know how to order (yes I said How to order), than you can get the most bang for your buck. I come here most mornings for a smoothie and their passion fruit green tea chill. It is so refreshing and tastes amazing. I defiantly would recommend for anyone to try it. I like to switch things up and explore the menu when I can. So far my top picks for food would be the soups (all are very good), turkey chili, bear claw and mac n' cheese. As I said before to get the most for your money order the PICK 2 combos. As well getting the Panera card gives you perks and discounts which never hurt. Till next time xoxo happy eats! read more

Panera Bread - Four cheese souffle and oj - Salad Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

If you want a quick basic meal this is the place to go. Can't say that it's the best restaurant to eat at, but I personally like their Green Goddess Cobb salad and their Mac and cheese. It can get a little pricey for the quality of their food even with the Pick 2 option. (Pick 2 is getting half sizes of two things for a lesser price e.g. half a sandwich and half size soup) Funny thing to mention, I saw some tweet a while back saying that Panera food is basically upgraded airplane food and can't stop thinking about that and how true it is Overall, food and atmosphere is okay and appropriate for a quick bite/chat over some coffee Would I recommend? Sure but definitely not a must. read more

Usually a good experience here but today I felt compelled to post a particularly bad experience. This is now the second time we've been here when they have run out of yogurt for the kids menu. First time okay, second time I'm like.....just take yogurt off the menu! It's 11 am .... Did you have a rush of kids at 9 am?! Then we get the peanut and butter sandwich and it looks like my toddler made it. Now it's my fault for ordering the sandwich (part of me thinks what did you expect) but when you see it all you can think is how sad it looks. I mean cut it into shapes or something....use a smaller plate...Do something!!!! And for $4.59 + tax? Shoulda gone to McDonald's for a $3.99 happy meal. AND it doesn't include a drink either. WOW. To top it off they gave me a whole apple with it but was reluctant to cut it up for my 18 month old. REALLY?! So I did this so you wouldn't have to! Don't order the kids pb&j sandwich!!! read more

I've heard of Panera Bread a couple of years ago but I never stepped foot into one until last week. If you are on gluten-free diet then this is the place you don't want to go to since majority of the food items include bread. My sister and I arrived during the slow hours (3 pm) and man was the service slow. There was no one else in line except us and the customer in front of us. The manager (I'm assuming) took his sweet time taking their order that I was ready to leave. We waited at least 5 minutes just for him to finish one order. When it was finally our turn we ordered a hot chocolate, chicken noodle soup, and a warm cookie. It came out to ~$11! I could've went to Tim Hortons and spent half that amount. The seating area is a bit small if you were there during a busier time. However, it's nice and homey. I doubt I'll ever drop by Panera Bread due to the long wait time, cost, and I'm on a restricted gluten free diet. read more

Paneraaaaa Before coming here, I knew what to expect . Now I know that Panera is a chain food place, however I honestly thought the food was good. I got the Broccoli Cheddar soup with an apple, AND i loved it. It actually Tasted like something that my mom made for me once. I'm not really a soup person but when I do drink it, it has to be really good. After that soup rendezvous, I bought myself a coffee and a pecan roll & cinnamon roll. I love cinnamon & pecans. All the drinks here are refillable including coffee, soft drinks, tea etc. not to mention all the diff kinds of coffee roasts they have here. Now I'll say this much, I'll take a soup here before a soup from Tim Hortons any day any time. Yup I said it. Sorry #imnotsorry. As for the coffee I'm not so sure. read more

I am leaving another review as this is the first time I have actually sat and had lunch here. My previous review was based on a take out experience where I bought some bagels. I came here on a Thursday around 1130. It is extremely busy and tough to get a table so if you come at noon, you should plan for take out or standing for a while. The way that it works is you order your food at the counter and then they give you a number to take with you while you find yourself a table. They will bring your food to you. Water and drinks are at the back (serve yourself) The service is friendly and the food came quickly but I would give the food a 2. I ordered the quinoa, lentil, kale broth bowl but it was very salty. I loved the idea of it and it could have been so great. My dad had the French onion soup and a half chipotle chicken sandwich and both were very salty. Total cost was $22.98 for the 3 items. I think I have decided that I would only return for the bagels. That being said, I came here a few weeks ago to pick up some bagels and they had completely run out which was very disappointing after driving all the way there. Sorry Panera. Great people but the food could be better. read more

Didn't expect there to be so many bad reviews for this location! I've been to several other locations, but this was my first time here. Overall, no complaints on the quality of food or cleanliness of the location. If I had to agree with any of the other coments, it would be the service of the staff. Standing by the menu board, I was trying to decide on what to eat. When the customer in front of me had finished taking their order, I proceeded to walk toward the cashier to tell him what I wanted. He promptly left the desk and spoke to another employee without telling me what was happening. I found this rude but didn't mention it at the time. The girl he was talking to then took my order but did not apologize. Other than this strange occurrence, there wasn't anything else wrong with the visit. My Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken salad was amazing! read more

This location... hmm where do we start? Well panera have great sandwiches. I visited on a busy sat afternoon and my second bite into my sandwich had a hair. I thought, well at least it's not curly so I showed the cashier and she started to blame me until I said pull on it and then she saw that the hair was baked in the bread. Gross. Hopefully the person did not have the herps! The end. read more

The most disorganized Panera Bread I've ever been to. I went back and forth with the cashier with her trying to tell me that the flatbread I wanted was not actually in the flatbread category. It was like we were speaking a different language. I had to point to the board and walk her through line by line to explain why I was right (or at least why the board was wrong). That would be all fine and dandy if she didn't have an attitude about it, as if I was a crazy person. Terrible customer service. Food was okay. I was very disappointed with the Cesar salad which came with a glob of dressing in the middle, not tossed at all. Gross in appearance. They did not bring us the right silverware or butter for the bread, requiring two separate trips up to the counter to ask for these missing items. It was chaotic to say the least. Certainly not what I'm used to from this chain. read more

I'm also surprised by the bad reviews at this location! I haven't had any issues and the food is great! I'm a huge fan of their pick two combos. Usually a bowl of soup and a Caesar salad and every time it's been delicious. Their cream base soups are seriously so yummy (baked potato, broccoli cheddar and wild rice and chicken). It's a nice little sit down restaurant suitable for lunch or dinner. Usually for my husband and I (both getting pick two combos) it costs up $25 - $30. Definitely not somewhere I would run to for lunch while working, you need to sit and enjoy it. The food is healthy and their nutritional information is always available. Staff seems very friendly and I have no complaints! read more

Panera Bread - Pick two combo. Broccoli cheddar soup with Caesar salad. - Salad Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Panera Bread in my mind was always a place i would like to try but not on the top of my list. For years I passed it and never had the urge. Recently I was out and about on a very cold winter day and i was hungry but for something different so I decided to go to Panera Bread for a soup and a sandwich. Upon entering it automatically reminded me of a Starbucks type place. The place was just super busy. People waiting in line and waiting for tables to sit and enjoy their meals. We were served fairly quickly and our food was prepared just as quick considering how busy they were. I ordered a chicken soup, Italian sandwich which came with some of the best potato chips i have had. For a drink I had some of their homemade lemonade which was amazing. The soup tasted very fresh and hit the spot on that cold day. The sandwich was just your standard cold cut sandwich. The sandwich was kind of small and the price was quite large. Although the quality and the taste were great the price didn't match what you got. Very overpriced. This does not mean that I will not go back to Panera but based on the serving size and the price it will not be one of my top choices, but I do plan to go back one day to try some of the other items on the menu and of course for the lemonade. read more

Nice place to have a quick lunch. We ordered a steak and cheese sandwich , and chicken chipotle sandwich, both the sandwiches were good. The serving is good, its not big nor small. There are soups, salads, blueberry scones , pecan donut (fresh is really tasty). We ordered passion papaya tea. It was o k a y . read more

This will be my first and last visit here. The food was nothing special and definitely not worth the price. I would consider any other food chain in the Heartland area before trying this again. There was no problem with the service (it took a little long but staff was friendly), I just do not prefer their food and for a small sandwich with a side of chips (you can exchange for an apple), I did not think it was worth it. Will not be visiting Panera Bread again. read more

I don't understand how this place is a chain of restaurants! (I also use the term restaurant very loosely in regards to Panera Bread) I went here with my sister, who recommended it (unsure how we are related at this point). The food here is so overpriced, I ordered the soup and sandwich combo (veggie sandwich and french onion soup). The sandwich was okay, edible at least but I don't understand how they pass their french onion soup as french onion soup. It was beef broth with bits of cheese on top! The servers were not polite and the man taking our order kept sighing at my sister because she entered her debit pin wrong once. What a terrible experience, I will not be back! read more

@panerabread #HEARTLAND #PANERA #BROTHBOWLS #YELPGTA I know a lot of people are upset with Panera because of the prices. However, I feel like the prices are well justified - think McDonalds, but better and healthier. Those small portions are good for you! Now, by no means am I a Panera expert, especially because I've tried just one item. I had the tortellini and although small, it wasn't bad. It came with a tiny bag of chips. My friend ordered a sandwich - it came with an apple and a pickle - and it looked dry and not so good. The positives about this location - it's big and nice with ample seating and a good amount of sunlight through the windows. Definitely a good place to grab a bite on a winter afternoon (which is what I did). However, I am not crooning or craving, so I think I'll probably have to pass on coming back. read more

I have only been to Panera Bread once before and it was the Square One location. I grabbed a sandwich to go so can't comment much on the experience. This time I went to the newly opened one at Heartland. It's a huge location and has a decent sized dining room. You can buy bread, pastries and also lunch! They serve breakfast till 10am weekdays and 11am on weekends. Everything can be eaten in or taken out. Today we decided to grab a sandwich and sit down. It was PACKED and people were walking around holding their lunches trying to find a seat so they could sit down and eat.. Although it was madness in there, the staff seemed to have it under control and food was coming out of the kitchen steadily. The tuna sandwich was tasty. fresh, great bread. The soup was really nice as well. Served with a piece of a baguette. Overall because it was pure chaos in there I don't know that I can give it more stars... there was a teenager literally sleeping, head on the table etc.. taking up a booth during the VERY busy lunch hour. No food or anything in front of her. People scrambling to get tables... getting upset at each other.. Not cool. You would think the staff would ask her to move. No one said anything to her. If my bf hadn't scored a table I probably would have said something to her. I didn't think it was cool at all. The food is good however, and fresh and the bread is very tasty. I will probably go back in a few months after it's calmed down a bit. I can't handle that much chaos at lunch. read more

I honestly don't know why people complain so much about the price? If it's that big of a deal go to McDonald's or make it at home. I don't mind paying the price cause I know I'm getting good quality food. Some of the things you must try: Broccoli cheddar soup Lemonade- not too sweet, with some tartness to it. Which I love Chicken Caesar salad- chicken is organic(huge plus), their dressing is amazing(not heavy & creamy compared to others) Fuji apple chicken salad is amazing as well. Bagels are also really good, especially the cinnamon crunch & If you're craving something sweet, my favourite is any of the Danishes read more

I came here with my kids and husband for the first time. I had a friend who was raving about it and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I went around lunch time, bad idea. It was very busy and the line up was way too long to handle especially with two little ones. When we finally got a place to eat, the food was satisfactory. My kids loved their pasta, so that was a good sign. I wasn't a fan of the sandwich i had. The taste was fresh but the bread was kind of off for me personally. I would definitely like to try it again and maybe choose another option. Other than that, the ambiance was good and the service was good as well. Maybe me and the hubby will check it out alone when the kids are at school and on a weekday :) read more

Since when did pick 2 become pick a quarter and a half? I ordered a tomato soup and a half Mediterranean sandwich. The bread they used for sandwich was so small that everything was literally falling out...looked more like a quarter sandwich.

I haven't had Panera in a while, but the moment I learned about their new broth bowls, I wanted to give one a try. We stepped into the restaurant last Friday night, took a quick glance at the menu, and decided what we were going to order in less than a minute. We noticed a few kitchen staff walk by, but we waited a good five minutes before someone greeted us at the cash to take our orders. Understaffed, perhaps? Then we proceeded to look for a table. There were a lot of empty tables, but quite a few of them were dirty and left uncleaned, and the whole dining area looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a week. Again, we thought maybe they were really understaffed on that particular day... I decided to try the Lentil Quinoa Bowl with Chicken. Chicken, quinoa, brown rice, lentils, tomato, kale, and spinach, all mixed in a miso soup. It sounded healthy and it looked healthy, but...it did not taste healthy at all. Not until I poured an entire cup of hot water into the extremely salty broth! The saltiness was so overpowering that I did not realize there was a bit of a spicy kick to the soup, which was nice. Considering it cost me about $10, the portion was also smaller than expected (it's just mostly soup). Overall though, I think it is a great recipe, but it was poorly executed. If and when I visit Panera again, whether at this location or another, I'll definitely stick to their panini, sandwiches, and soup that I know taste good... read more
