Toasted Italiano hit the spot and salad was a good size however the chicken tasted like it was processed/fake meat. Service was pleasant and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would have given 5 stars but got turned off by the chicken in the salad. Will still come back though for the Asiago cheese bagels (not on photo) and their other meal options. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This Panera was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick. Staff was friendly. Food came out exactly as ordered. Hot and delicious.

I was very happy to see Panera Bread open in NSB - as with most newly opened businesses that hire locally there is going to be a learning curve which is completely understandable. I came here excited to order a few bagels, we decided to go inside even though we were ordering takeout - the store is beautiful, nice layout and we were greeted by a few extremely friendly members of the staff and already knowing what we want we were ready to place out order. Everything was going great until I asked for a side order of bacon, this seem to be an insurmountable request the young lady at the register froze as she studied the register's screen and finally went to the back to get a supervisor, after being asked again what we wanted I repeated the order - pretty simple in my opinion (1 toasted plain bagel with cream cheese, 2 toasted everything bagels with cream cheese and a side of bacon) the supervisor began to punch in lots of information as the line at the counter grew longer and finally gave me a total. There's a screen above the counter showing the status of the orders in progress which I thought was pretty cool. After another 10 minutes the screened still show my order was being prepared no problem right? I began thinking what if I has placed the same order at the drive through and looked at the window and notice the same customer was waiting at the window when I arrived. Another 10 minutes and I'm still waiting and realized that no orders had been delivered since I walked in and there were only 2 orders in front of me - I counted the employees in the store and stopped counting at 10 although only a few were doing anything and the manager was completely focused on his iPad and completely oblivious of what was going on in his restaurant. Finally my order appeared at the window and it sat for a few more minutes until another employee noticed and mumbled my name which I barely understood- it seems there's still some training needed and some oversight issues which I sure will be worked out. The products were good they just took longer than I thought it should, we'll see how it goes during our next visit... read more

Food was really good. 5 stars for the Italiano and the butternut squash soup. 5 stars for service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But it is always so cold in there. Please keep working on fixing the a/c. It was a little less cold than last time several months ago.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brrrrrrrr read more

Got my usual 1/2 apple fugi salad Weak 3 thin bites, yes bites of chicken Really disappointing. My girl friend ask for the same as mine. The older woman rung up the full salad for her order. Wanted my crunch bagel like none was there. Hardly any baked goods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Went on a Friday at lunch time recently Aug 5,2025.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing like the advertisement on TV, tell me where that Panera's is? NSB,Fl read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room was filthy, dishes piled high at trash containers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was wrong. When I told manager it was hard to a place to sit due the unclean condition she said ok and no one ever came out to clean while we were eating. It had been a long time since to tried Panera and it will be even longer for the next time. read more

The customer service was great, but the food was not up to standards. The avocado on my sandwich was hard as a rock. I ended up taking it off, and then there was barely any chicken on the chipotle, chicken avocado sandwich, which I did not understand but yeah, probably would not go to this location again. read more

this Panera bread is the most incompetent restaurant I have ever dealt with. I like the food that I get from Panera bread but every time I order from this specific location, it is never correct. There's either items missing or what I got Is not what I ordered. The sandwich is either rock hard or cold. It's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and they continue to mess it up every single time. I don't think there's been one time I've ordered from this restaurant that it's actually been correct. I truly don't know how they're still in business. read more

Sandwiches are fresh and delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also you can sit and visit. No one is encouraging you to leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I picked up a BLT tonight. The bread was good but the bacon was awful! I got extra bacon and paid over 2.00 for the extra bacon. It was so tough it was hard to eat. It apparently was cooked in the microwave it was just awful. I would not recommend this sandwich or location read more

The NSB Panera is the best!! The food and drinks are great but the workers here make it the reason we always come back!! The drive-thru crew is awesome. The management is awesome. When we go inside we are always greeted nicely by all of the employees. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

There was two cars in the line and I waited for an about twenty minutes. Once I got to the window I waited another 5 minutes, got told my total, had to remind her that a paid for a Dr Pepper, and I come home and there's no spoon or baguette with my soup. I just paid 10 dollars for a little bowl. She should be fired she was slow and had no clue what she was doing. And she had blue hair. And there's more. I found a black hair in the middle of eating. Disgusting. read more

Workers are nice, i really like the manager. Food is... What to expect. Definitely over priced but at least it's not bad. Avocados are green, tomatoes are ripe and so on. Wish they could heat up the side of baguette though read more

My initial impression of this place being brand new are about the same as many other Panera Breads. But the only thing this place lacks is comfortable seating like many other Panera Breads carry. So if you came for the food opening day like I did they delivered. The only thing I found odd was my Baguette was cold? Usually my bread is warm with my food. The only thing that's also out of the restaurants control was when they built this building the woman's sink has difficulty staying on and the doors have the handle on the inside instead of the outside. People often don't wash their hands in New Smyrna Beach so one of those foot door handles would be perfect for this place. Other then that I would only come to pick up instead of dine in because of the lack of booth seating. read more

Panera Bread - The main building - Salad Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Prices have gone up compared to portions not my first choice for the money food tasted good but not nearly enough for their prices

This Panera struggles with keeping bread stocked. The last three visits this month they have been out of numerous types of bread and they just removed all of my favorite items from the menu. I will never be back unless I don't have a choice. read more

Poor service for overpriced food. Don't get me wrong everything costs $$$ but when a you pick 2 meal is now $16 add a small coffee and tax and now it's $20 for one meal you expect that meal to be great right? WRONG My Apple had a brown soft spot on it and my salad came with no dressing. Plus the coffee was mediocre at best. If you are asking me to pay $20 for a meal it better be amazing. My meal was not amazing. Either prices need to be lowered or quality of food increased. read more

One of the employees made my day. I think her name was Olivia but all I needed was a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Weird how a nice interaction can put a good taste in your mouth. Her customer service has set a new standard for this place and I hope it's her that's greets me everytime I come in. It's been years since I've been to Panera but will definitely be back. It was pretty sad to find out the fudge brownies were no longer being sold though... read more

Excellent service and quality. Truly recommended. Even when they are near to close always the good attitude

Very quick service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was amazing as expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was chilly inside, but that was good since it was so hot outside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Not impressed at all. My sandwich was made wrong. Had to ask three times to get it made correctly. They were out of coffee and half and half. Beverage area was filthy. Coffee urn was dirty. When it came back refilled it was still dirty. First cup was nothing but grounds. I won't be back here. read more

Food is great! Service has always been good! However, it's so drafty and cold I can't sit indoors and feel comfortable. Also, the ambience is very sterile compared to most Paneras we frequent. Although I love to support local, if we want to sit down and eat, we end up driving back up to Port Orange to enjoy a comfortable booth and a warm ambience. Something about New Smyrna's Panera Bread isn't conducive to ordering a warm latte & dessert and enjoying good conversation. I hope next remodel, they consider this. It's Panera, not Chipotle! Bring back the warm ambience. read more

Went back and people are all talking about how cold it is in there. Soups get cold. There a breeze on you the entire time. I'm hoping they address this. read more

I placed an online order. when I brought it home, I discovered they made it totally wrong. I called and I asked that they fix it, they wouldn't! It was half an hour before closing and they didn't to remake my meal. They wouldn't refund my payment either, instead they agreed to issue a meal voucher. I had to wait a month for it to arrive in the mail. It eventually did, but the voucher stipulated that I couldn't order online. I had to go stand in line at the store and the amount on the voucher did not cover the cost of the original order that they already took a month before. Patiently I waited in line and when I came to pay with my voucher (my money) they gave me a hard time refusing to acknowledge its validity, they brought their manager who had to make a phone call and wait for a reply before they could process the voucher payment. When my meal came, they still got it wrong. At this point I was fed up with this circus. I just gave them their food back and moved on. I don't think there is much hope for this branch! read more
