Still just as essential and still just as good! I ordered a rapid pickup order and even on a super busy day their app tracking and the in store kiosk tracker keep you up to date on when your food will be ready! Monroeville Panera is always packed yet it is always so clean too! All drinks/coffees constantly refilled. If you just stay and watch for even a few minutes the orchestration of employees is like a well timed dance to keep everything perfect read more

I have always had issues at this Panera, but tonight has been my last time. I stopped in around 6:30 PM. I ordered at the self Kiosk and got approximately $20 of food. I go back to the food pickup area and it is total chaos. They are running around, complaining about workers, they were 27 orders back, and the wait would take over an hour. Like I am stopping by to get some food on my way home from a long day at work. I and others go get refunded. I don't think many want to wait a whole hour for a Panera sandwich. This process took a while and it was also chaotic. There has to be a management issue at this Panera. I work in DC every week. I stop at Panera because I can get a healthy salad and sandwich while I travel for work. I do have issues, but this one in Monroeville is always chaos and has the most. Restaurants have gone down hill since COVID. It seems like chains like Panera have been ruined. It is impossible to simply get food out anymore. Food that will include all that you ordered, food that comes on time, food that can simply be processed like the days before 2020. It has all come impossible. Is it the younger generation? Late stage capitalism? Is it technology making people slow? Social Media? Am I becoming a boomer? Is it bad workers? What, what has happened to getting simple food at restaurants? Back in the 90s or 00's we didn't have to wait an hour and half for a chipotle chicken avocado at Panera. read more

Got my normal salad to go. When I got home the chicken breast in the salad was still frozen. Not cold - but frozen . Needless to say it negatively impacted the experience of eating my meal. Never again... Edit: I only get salads at this Panera because they are frequently out of mayo when I order a sandwich. How does a restaurant that features sandwiches run out of mayo every time I attempt to order a sandwich with it? This coupled with the price increases I won't be coming back. The frozen chicken was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not worth the effort of complaining to the manager anymore. read more

Stale ass bread terrible Stale bread is bread that's lost its freshness over time. It becomes: * dry * hard * sometimes slightly chewy or tough This usually happens after a day or two when bread is exposed to air. Why bread goes stale Staling isn't just "drying out"--it's a chemical process called starch retrogradation. * The starch molecules in bread re-crystallize * This makes the bread firmer and less soft * Moisture moves from the inside to the crust So even if you seal it, bread can still go stale. When it's not okay * Selling stale bread at full price * Not labeling it properly * Hiding the quality decline That crosses into unfair or deceptive practice. Paid $40 too fuck uuuuuuuuuuyyyu read more

Ordered online for 12:30 pickup....but food didnt come out until 12:55. They were really busy & they gave me a $3 off coupon for next time. Food was really good read more

This team is stretched thin. By no fault of the employees, I placed a small order at 12:24pm, it wasn't ready until nearly 12:50pm. We could visibly see the frustration felt by the staff. They were still polite but clearly overwhelmed. My sandwich was so /so. Bacon could have cooked longer etc but they did the best they could to move orders as quickly as possible. read more

Panera Bread - Caprese Tomato Basil BLT and Bistro French Onion Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

If you want a quick lunch...go someplace else. I don't mind slow, but pldon't accompany it with rudeness. The staff fails to comprehend that lunch time is usually a quick meal for most people. Waiting 45 minutes for fast food is just unacceptable. I don't feel that they even deserve one star. Also a quick wipe-off of the tables between customers would be a nice touch! read more

Haven't been to this location in a long time I really enjoy the bread bowls. I really am disappointed that the teas have been taken off the menu now you have to pay for them, but Covid had killed everything. Everything good is gone. I do recommend this location. read more

Took parents out to lunch. Enjoyed the ease of ordering at the kiosk and picking up at the counter. My parents ordered the chicken poppyseed strawberry salad and a sandwich so they split each. The portions were nice size. I ordered the kids size cobb salad which was perfect portion for a light lunch. Loved the spacious dining area. Would make a nice place for a business lunch. read more

We ordered take out from penera bread salads, sandwiches & bowls the driver was very accommodating and friendly food was delicious hats off to panera bread definitely ordering take out again read more

Whomever owns this franchise should be ashamed. No one working the register. The dining room is disgusting, the staff moves at a snails pace. It should not take 30 min for a bowl of soup with an empty restaurant. I've spent a lot of time in many Panera's and this has to be the worst. read more

Stopped this morning for two breakfast sandwiches to go. Drove 15 minutes home to find both sandwiches were made incorrectly. Mine was missing cheese and my wife's chipotle chicken and egg sandwich had no chicken. Instead there was a sausage patty instead. Someone needs to be retrained or dismissed. People were polite if that counts. read more

I've ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich, horseradish sandwich, and drinks, which have been fantastic. Everyone who served me was pleasant, and the manager on duty was approachable. Dining in is really a treat, the surrounding environment is pleasantly atmospheric, especially in winter with the fireplace. Most Paneras are wildly overpriced, but this one seems a bit more tempered. If you can get in during the rare occasion that they are slow, it's a great experience. read more

I got a $7 breakfast sandwich this morning. Bacon, egg and cheese on ciabatta. I've gotten this sandwich at the oakmont location and waterworks several times before. This morning was a grim day for this sandwich. The bread wasn't toasted and it was cold, the egg was paper thin, there was only 1.5 slices of bacon and the avocado I added to it for $1 was brown. Just all around not worth the money and no care was put into it. Disappointed. read more

Employees are nice, the pastries are good...but no lattes? Twice in a week I've stopped in, and the latte machine is broken...and today it's still "awaiting parts". So, flexible fellow that I am, I ordered a regular coffee. Got it (along with two pastries) to go. A mile down the road I took a sip. Old...burned taste...and lukewarm at best. Undrinkable. If your latte machine is broken, how about making sure your coffee game is on spot, eh? Unacceptable. At least the pastries were okay. read more

I placed an order on Monday for a pickup on Friday at 2. I arrived there & they had no record of my order even though it paid for on my CC. after further investigation they found the order was for 2am - they're not open then which I pointed out. Bottom line they couldn't fill my order, they did offer substitutes which I didn't, still charged me full price for items that I did receive and wouldn't give me a discount even after I asked! I just love customer service - NOT read more

New review.. If I could give 0 stars I would.. Just ordered a Mediterranean sandwich and put NO TOMATO but they decided to give me a few dozen extra. Doesn't matter I'm allergic to the seeds- they also have me no cucumbers. Also ordered chicken chipotle pulled sandwich for husband and there's no chicken on it.. hmm The third thing I ordered for my daughter was a damn simple order they still screwed up. Ordered her a bagel with cream cheese and they didn't even cut it! This is my second low review. I had to replace the first one. It's always terrible service- there's never any bagels available at this location EVER! Even in the mornings. Why would anyone go here? read more

Panera Bread - No one - Sandwiches Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I will give the extra star because my cookie was actually delicious. My boyfriend and I split a lemon drop cookie. However for a few visits in a row service seems to go downhill here. There was no one visible behind the counter. The two people in front of me said they were going to order at the kiosk but wound up leaving. I'm not sure if it wasn't working or if they decided it wasn't worth it. I was about to walk out when someone finally came out from the back so I went ahead and ordered my cookie. It shouldn't be that difficult to look for customers and go to the registers to take orders. read more

Always a problem at this location either I have to wait an extra 10 minutes for my online order or they don't put something in that I modified. And then today I get barely any salad & this little piece of side bread in my pick 2 with my tuna salad sandwich and smh I will not be back to this location again I literally tip just to not even got a full lil bowl of salad?? so stingy like you're not a small business you have lots of money y'all just don't want to give people good portions...I'll go somewhere else where they give ppl good quality food that's worth the money because I just wasted $14 on lil salad stale bread, and a half of a tuna sandwich. read more

This was the dirtiest Panera I have ever been in. They definitely don't clean anything in this place. Would NOT recommend eating here

I want to like you, Panera. You're local. You have healthy options. You seem fresh. What's not to like? But I've tried for the last time. Not only is it bad but you've just gotten worse and worse over the years. We could start by talking about the many menu items that you have ruined over the years. Nearly all of the soups have evolved into flavorless watered-down recipes that taste no better than canned soup. First, you ruined the vegetable soup. It has absolutely no flavor. None! Then, you went and ruined the only other thing on the menu that was still decent. I have no idea what i just received when I ordered French Onion Soup on my last visit. There were a few shreds of cheese (literally a few shreds) and a couple of thin onions in a flavorless light brown colored broth. I'm only regretting that I didn't take a picture. I feel like I'm being punked here. The other part of my You Pick Two meal would have been a sandwich, but on a Friday afternoon, you were out of any multigrain or wheat bread option. So, I looked for my next go-to item, which is the classic salad with balsamic. But guess what? That no longer exists on the menu. Honestly, I have no idea why anybody goes to Panera anymore. Every time I go, I leave disappointed. If it's not a wonky bagel or a sad soup, it's that the item I'm looking for isn't there. And maybe none of this would be as bad if it weren't also the most expensive place of its kind and only getting more expensive. I am all for spending money on quality great tasting food, but this is nothing of the sort. We are through, Panera. I mean it this time. read more

I haven't been to a Panera in a long time. To me, things have changed a bit, from at least how I knew it. After a day of running around the area with my parents we decided we needed to eat something. My parents are a bit particular about trying something outside their comfort zone. So they favored with going with something familiar to them. Can't really write anything new about the food or atmosphere for Panera Bread, but what I can touch on is how service is here. From what I remember in the past it was mostly a self serve type of setting. By that, you pick up your own food once your coaster vibrated. Now, it appears that your food is brought to your table and you don't have to decide whether to stand there or find a table and go back. Kind of a nice touch as it is quicker. But then you realize that the staff that is serving your food is less than enthusiastic. Panera is a belly filler. But not a place I would constantly visit. read more

This location is hoppin' in the mornings - especially on a Saturday with a convention in town and plenty of locals. On our most recent trip to Monroeville, my husband wanted some kind of pastry/bread for his morning breakfast, so I suggested we hit up Panera. (There wasn't much else in the area according to Yelp - so that was that). Actually, I was quite happy with my breakfast quiche. Hubby ended up with a breakfast sandwich and I ate the pastry. Either I was starving or the food was really good. Since I'm definitely not starving, I think it's fair to say our choices were tasty. Despite the crowds, the line went quickly. They had plenty of people manning the cash registers, and the wait wasn't long at all! read more

my Mac and cheese was cold when it came out and they told me to go microwave it myself. absolutely not.

My daughter and I love Panera, but this Monroeville location is the worst! Service is terrible. Everyone seems crabby. My daughter ordered the mac n cheese and when we got it, it was cold. I went back up to the counter to ask for it to be heated and they said they couldn't do that and then pointed me to the microwave in the coffee service area and told me to heat it up. what the heck? who does that?? read more

My 1st experience with this location was picking up lunch for my office using "rapid pick up." The place was crazy busy and the order wasn't on the shelf. I asked several employees and they said it should be right up. 15 minutes after the scheduled pick up, I grabbed a manager only to find out that someone STOLE the order. Panera doesn't require any proof of purchase and with the store being as busy as it was, someone apparently walked away with our office lunch. It's not very rapid if it's STOLEN! 2nd experience - They royally screwed up an order. I emailed customer service and they wouldn't refund my order unless I signed up for their rewards program so they could issue me a credit to use towards another order. read more

Horrible service gave wrong bread bowl . When they hav us the right one the handed it to me in

Definitely not worth the $18 this costs after you add up menu price plus tax, tip and delivery. They forgot the avocado and black bean and corn salsa. Still starved. Very disappointed read more

Panera Bread - Baja Chicken Bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Yes, Panera is a chain. Not a bad thing in this case. It offers consistency which is the utmost reason to go to a chain for me. PROS: 1) Space is comfortable, roomy enough. I never have problems finding a table and never feel rushed to finish so someone else can have my table. 2) Free wifi. Not only free wifi, but it is a great place to get work done without feeling you can only be there on your laptop for the amount of time it takes you to eat. 3) Healthy food choices. And now, according to their website, "It's clean food. Food without artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors or colors from artificial sources." I like that! 4) Not only healthy food choices, but colorful, eye-catching, and flavorful! 5) And not just healthy food -- I can cheat and get something decadent from the bakery side, too. 99 cents on top of my other food choices gets me something from the bakery. Of course I'm going to partake! 6) Free refills on sodas 7) Clean environment 8) Reasonably clean restroom 9) They give back to the community -- check it out on their website. 10) Easy parking 11) Panera card to get points. Damn! I keep saying I'm going to sign up and never do.... I just did so now I'll get rewards. Yay! 12) After you order, they now come to you to deliver your food instead of how you used to have to wait for it and then go to the counter and get it. I like that! 13) You can order online in advance (haven't tried that feature yet) 14) I think the price is reasonable enough. My pick 2 with 1/2 a Chinese Chicken Cashew salad and tomato soup with bread, pastry, and a soda was about 13.00. CONS: 1) Can't think of any. read more

the wait , the air is absolutely incredible. it doesn't matter what time of day you go? min wait is like 20-30 mins. Ordered bowl of soup and mac and cheese and waitEd nearly an hour. I love Panera, but I don't have time to wait. Even when I order ahead read more

Been here many times. Convenient if not great. Food is okay but very pricey. Soup and salad are probably best. Sandwiches,,, well we are seeing sparse portions of meats and cheeses, compared to what made them good and popular in the first place. I stopped getting most sandwiches because of that. I do like most of the soups but boy are they expensive for the portion size. read more

Panera Bread is a nationwide chain that serves meals at all times during the day. They also have a bagel selection as well as a pastry section. You can purchase food to eat there or to go. They also do large group catering. They have free Wi Fi for your use while visiting. They now claim that all their ingredients are natural and they have expanded the menu so it can be confusing when you look at it. This is very much true of the you pick two option. Some items may be signature items which will have more of an upcharge if you pick one or both of those items. They list the amount of calories next to their menu choices so you can plan your meal accordingly. They have now added flatbreads to their menu choices which I haven't tried yet. They do have a private seating area you can reserve for functions. Otherwise you need to find a table and sit down once you've paid for your meal. They also serve various coffees, hot chocolate and smoothies. You go to the counter place your order, pay for it and then you are given a buzzer to let you know it is ready. All food is served on ceramic plates with real utensils. On this particular visit I ordered just a smoothie while my daughter chose a you pick two of a sandwich and soup combination. She got a choice of bread or an apple as a side and for $1.00 more she could get a pastry of her choice for dessert. I enjoyed my smoothie and shared the chocolate pastry she got which was very good. She seemed to enjoy her meal. When finished you take your tray to a disposal area which consists of two bins. One is for trash and the other is for your dirty dishes. You then place your empty tray on top for the staff to clean. Panera Bread has been constantly increasing their prices so it becomes competitive with some casual sit down restaurants. Still they have a big draw and the lines are very long. I used to enjoy their French onion soup but all they do is sprinkle grated cheese on it. Not my favorite when I can get a cheese covering elsewhere. Still they have good salads which is one of my favorites along with a sweet treat now and then. read more

Panera Bread - Bacon turkey bravo with French onion soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

If you are familiar with Panera, you know what you are getting and this location will do. If you have never been to a panera before, they serve hot breakfast sandwiches, bagels, pastries. Also, a variety of smoothies, coffee, tea and hot/cold coffee drinks. For lunches, they do a variety of salads and deli sandwiches. Also soups, some pastas and new "bowls" which I have not yet tried. I recommend the "you pick 2"for lunch/dinner which as you could guess, let's you pick 2 things such as salad, sandwich, soup, pasta, etc. Some of my faves are the BBQ chicken salad, tomato soup, grilled cheese, bacon turkey bravo sandwich, turkey chili and broccoli cheese soup. For regulars, I recommend getting the My Panera card so you get loyalty perks. To use it, you just have to give your phone number every time you order. I do love Panera! read more

Panera Bread - BBQ chicken salad and turkey chili - Sandwiches Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Not very fond of the Monroeville Panera Bread. They're always out of stock when it comes to ingredients for making a sandwich. Occasionally, they close earlier than the time posted on their door. Food is ok if you go around lunchtime, but forget it after 5 pm. read more

The food is good when you actually get the correct items! I ordered the pick two sandwich and chicken salad, told to put sauce on side, but the sauce was on sandwich and on the chicken salad, no chicken just a plain salad! I paid 12.28 for a plain 1/2 salad and 1/2 sandwich! I received my order at curbside, so I did not know the mistakes until I got home! When I called to talk to manager he was not very helpful, told me next time I'm in to talk to a manger, I asked if he was a manager and he got all snotty and said yes! So why couldn't he take care of the issue!!!! When going to this location make sure to double check your order before leaving, this was not the first time but one of many mistakes, but the old manager was very helpful when they made mistakes!!!!! read more
