Some of the nicest people in the world work here! The store always seems to be clean, you're greeted as soon as you walk in I'm gluten-free - so I do not eat any of the food, but I love their tea! It's a great place to have a meeting, it's quiet enough so you can hear the person you're speaking with read more

I have had consistently fresh and quick food from here. There are lots of choices and I love some of their seasonal items. Right now I'm obsessed with the Autumn Squash Soup it is sweet, creamy and so tasty! Also their chocolate chip muffie has been my recent sweet craving. It's so soft and chocolaty but not too chocolaty. In the summer they have one of my favorite salads. read more

Great location for me. This is a typical Panera. The setup is a bit different compared to other Panera's I've been to, in that the fresh baked items are not extensively displayed. However, there's plenty of seating options with high-tops, booths, and low tables inside and on the patio. I love the drive through feature, if you food takes a while to make, you just park and they bring it to you. Never too busy. Always great service and clean. read more

Panera Bread - Cinnamon roll - Sandwiches Near Me - Ponte Vedra, Florida

2 stars for food 2 stars for service and ambiance +1 more making more than just that. It had been a while since I had eaten at Panera and when I came back to eat at this location I was reminded of how good it is & it also it felt good to be inside there as well. It's really open inside and there's a lot of natural lighting, and in the food that I wanted to eat, the most; I actually got that exact food ordered "hit the spot" so to say. I was helped by Gayle, and as we were adding items to the order, she reminded me that and when you add things onto your meal that you get bundle deals, and I wasn't expecting anything like that and so it's more than just food was also good to order and talk about the food and stuff like that. She's great. So it's five stars for me: if I'm in the area ever again - and the appetite calls for this type of food - I will definitely come back. read more

MJ and I left the beach and sunrise behind us and ventured off for breakfast! My fav from Panera is the spinach-bacon soufflé! While they were out- there was a fresh batch in the oven! Estimated time to wait- 4 minutes, yes please! We ate in- I grabbed my prickly-pear hibiscus tea and enjoyed the quiet of being there early. MJ got a fruit cup and some baked good nibbles and iced tea as well. My soufflé was delivered to my table and I cut a huge chunk out to let it cool- I know better than to burn my mouth with that hot cheesy-egg deliciousness. A few moments later I dove in and my happy face inspired MJ to steal a bite too- she was with me! Perfect serving size and a good carb + protein breakfast to help me get started on an adventure day. Dining room was gleaming clean, service to order was a friendly way to start the day and the food was delish as always. read more

The restaurant is centrally located and you can't miss it. The food is always fresh, you must try the tomato bisque and veggie sandwich. The ambiance is clean and inviting. The service is superb, kuddos to Connie and Gayle. They make your eating experience worth it. Bon appetite!!! read more

Excellent salad, "Green goddess." The preparation is consistent and fresh. The staff are always polite, friendly and helpful. The hot tea selection is also excellent, and there is no charge for refills, which is appreciated when sitting and doing some studying. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Ponte Vedra, Florida

This place has gone from a go to, to a no way. Just got off the phone again for a wrong order for takeout. Exhausting. They really can't care with this kind of terrible service. And, portions are tiny, chicken is certainly not prime, ingredients aren't inspiring freshness confidence - think bad public school lunches for a premium price. This isn't just this location. The St. John's Center location is also a mess...systemic and a shame. read more

Great food but poor management of the drive thru. They have to spots to sit people who's food is taking to long but they do not use them. Drive thru backs up for a long long wait. Oh and then they forget half of my order. So lesson there check your food before you leave. read more

This place f*cks up too much for us to keep coming here.... 3/4 of the time our mobile order is done incorrectly. Over it. How hard is it to follow an order off of a screen? Either those people do not know how to do their jobs (poor training), or they just don't GAF. It's bad, Panera. Real bad. read more

We are so happy we finally got a Panera at PV. It is so new and clean. The ladies who run the store are very friendly. We are here at least twice a week. read more

Panera Bread - The nice new Panera at A1A in Ponte Vedra - Sandwiches Near Me - Ponte Vedra, Florida

It's an average Panera in a good location. We have visited this location many times over the years (usually to get soup when we are feeling under the weather). Food is always predictable with efficient delivery even if it's a little bit corporate and soulless. This was our first time getting breakfast at a Panera and while it was palatable the experience was a little underwhelming. Understand ably, they are missing many things due to the recent covid pandemic but maybe update the menu or provide the options up front? We must have asked for 5 different things that we were told "we don't have that right now" even though it's on the menu. For example, when I got my breakfast sandwich I was asked "how would you like your egg, scrambled?". When I said, "can I have it over easy?" (Which is in the menu) I was told we don't have cracked eggs scrambled is the only option. Maybe don't ask if there aren't any other options. Same with ordering bagels. "Can we get Cinnamon?" "No, our selection is limited." With no follow up. Maybe let us know what you do have in stock? Was also a little concerned with how dirty the restaurant was with the supposed increased cleaning. Just some observations. Nothing about the experience would keep us from coming back. read more

It takes a rare talent to put together made-to-order sandwiches and salads using only fresh ingredients yet have them look and taste like they'd been sitting in a gas station cooler for a week. Constantly disappointed by the quality and taste here. How a bread company can make fresh sandwich bread with an impossibly chewy crust baffles the brain. Do yourself a favor and give them a hard pass. read more

Great Panera so friendly and welcoming. The people who work here have an infectious smile radiating at all times.

Nice place and convenient. Yummy bagels! Drive through is a good thing. Their little deck is a nice space to sit out.

First Visit to the new Panera Bread location in Ponte Vedra. It is a brand new building and is very nicely laid out. They have lots of places for people to sit in several different comfortable areas. The menu is pretty much everything that you expect from Panera Bread. I sure wish they had GF options! They always execute very well. They have a really nice display of their available pastries and artisan breads as well. The people who work here are friendly and the service is prompt. The store and restrooms are spotlessly clean. Parking is easy out front. They have a well thought out Drive Thru. The prices are fair. Ordering is quick and easy. They have a really good Loyalty Program. I especially like that you can get Coffee and Drink refills easily. Their WIFI is very good! Great new location! read more

My first visit to this new location was fantastic! I hope the managers keep up the quality! Employees were friendly and inviting, everything was very clean and functional. This location has everything you'd expect from a Panera along with 3 self ordering kiosks. Parking was adequate as well. read more

So happy that Panera opened close to my house. Food is delicious, service is fast and the place looks very clean. Variety of iced and hot teas is a nice touch too. read more

Had a problem with our delivery which I wrote a review about earlier. However I need to correct my earlier review. The manager at panera is the nicest and most gracious person I have met. She listened to our complaints and sorted everything out right then. We are just so happy with service and how well everything was resolved. She went well over and beyond what we expected. I would give 6 stars if I could. The food as always is delicious. read more

I was very disappointed with Panera this past weekend. On Friday April 15, I ordered 18 bagels for April 17th pick up. I received a confirmation with exactly what I ordered. When I went through drive through to pick up, not only was I instructed to come inside - I was told that they did not have the bagels that I ordered and the order was not ready ( I had received a text earlier that it WAS ready). Unsatisfactory customer service. People who came in that morning and others in drive through took precedent over my order previously placed two days early for Easter brunch. Thus, the bagels that I had to take were not the ones my guests requested - and it took a long time to pick up. I will not go to Panera again for bagels. read more

I went there for soup and paid 9 dollars for a bowl of chicken and rice soup. I am used to paying about the same amount at a nice sit down restaurant. When I opened the bowl it was half full and lukewarm. Panera has really gotten out of control with prices of their menu items read more

The food was great as always however the service and ease of ordering was appalling. The first clue were the number of people by the kiosks. We walked to the desk and there were signs saying due to staffing shortages to order through the kiosk. We witnessed three different parties walk out to go somewhere else because they couldn't figure out the kiosk. There was a woman there I felt so bad for because she had sight issues and we tried to help her out as much as possible. The manager sat at a table on her computer while everyone was struggling. At a minimum one of the workers should have been by the kiosk at various times asking or assisting people. If you want to order and dine in here - order from the drive thru and go in and eat. This was just a horrible experience. read more

I go to this location frequently and I have to say that the service is excellent, servers and manager so friendly, food is always great and the restaurant is clean! read more

Sorry....just not impressed. Slow service and hugely inflated prices. 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 salad and an iced tea was almost $18 plus they want a tip for standing in line and going back to pick up your own order?! Going over to Publix for a great 6inch sub that is absolutely loaded, a full salad to go and an iced tea. Enough for 2 meals at the same price! I do not mind paying for good food, but I hate getting ripped off. read more

Disappointed by the lack of meat in the steak sandwich I ordered. It was a drive through order and close to closing time, but those circumstances should not matter. read more

Slow, slow drive through. Management has no regard for slow service. Staff seems more interested in loyalty information than taking an order over the phone. Oh and after waiting 20 minutes in the drive thru lane; we were sent to park in the drive thru spot. read more

They decided to put their cups behind the counter which is fine. But they also put all the condiments back there too. So we pay for monthly coffee but you have to wait until they finish with customers to get condiments for your coffee. My daughter waited and they skipped right over her to a customer behind her who was ordering as she waited patiently for her cream and sugar. Not happy. read more

Went to Panera for lunch and ordered a sandwich and chips thru the drive thru. The drive thru line was quick and my meal was hot and delicious:) read more

Everything is pretty fresh all the time and the bakery items are delicious. Just once in a while when I order French onion soup it seems that I'm getting the bottom of the pot the dreggs instead of nice translucent soft onions in it. That's my only complaint. The staff is great and the restaurant is clean. Once in a while there's one or two tables that haven't been bussed, but I usually can get a nice place to sit and eat! read more

Be sure if you sign up with their app you will have to call corporate to get your email off their promotions email list I have sent in excess of 160 emails to get my email removed to no response only more ads. When you go to unsubscribe from their latest email to you you get lost in a loop to either order on line, sign in to your account, and no way to keep from getting emails from this company. not a good move the food is not half bad but the BS of not going away will keep me from ever going to another franchise. You decide to put up with the constant daily emails call corporate or just CHANGE YOUR EMAIL. read more

I'm a long time local of Ponte Vedra and was excited to find out that a Panera would be opening up in our town. Unfortunately I'm dissatisfied with these guys because of their lack of customer service, it almost feels like your going through a "cheaper" drive-thru restaurant. Another reason being that they seem to be extra slow in the drive-thru department, not super busy but pretty slow paced, possibly under staffed. read more

Ponte Vedra drive through! Thank you Samantha for such great service and putting a smile on my face after a difficult morning! Your enthusiasm will take your far! read more

Attractive location, Small, very clean. Friendly person took my order. Small wait in that people in front of me took out large bags of food. If you are in a hurry, try order ahead service. My brekkie oatmeal w/ strawberries was hot and tasted good. I will be back. read more

Same quality as every Panera, but the space is small and can get cramped during a busy lunch hour.

Awful. Ordered breakfast and after 40 minutes and bringing out sandwich wrong 2x I just got a refund and left. They are totally disorganized and the manager was just making ridiculous excuses. read more

Open a week and already can't steam milk for a mocha. Waited in line for 10 minutes before you tell me this. It's basic coffee making. Don't have it on the menu if you're not capable of making it. Not impressed with this location. read more

The new Panera is a hotspot for my friends and I to work on homework and labor over college applications. The cozy cafes inviting smell of warm roast arabica beans and freshly kneaded bread, bagels, and an endless variety of pastry items makes it an ideal study spot. Between homework assignments, we typically relieve our academic agony with a much needed snack. My go to order is usually a bread bowl, or my personal favorite: The Green Goddess Salad. However, during our latest study session, my nostrils were intrigued by the seasonal smells of the cafe, and my eyes were fixated on the new seasonal menu. Three items down on the list was the turkey chili, had I known my seasonal expectations were not going to be met, I would have chosen a different item. Although I am not much of a chili fan, the description depicted a delectable soup so warm, artisan crafted, and hearty that my soul would achieve the comforting fall feeling that I so longed. There were only five star reviews of the chili on Panera's website, and raving reviews floating through the air in the ambient cafe. A couple hours into my study session, I watched as others ordered their meals, and I pondered the perfect side to accompany the chili. I settled on a whole wheat roll, ordered a cup serving size, received my buzzer, and sat down next to a window seat with my group of friends. As we waited, the cold temperature of Panera mimicked what a floridan might call fall, thus it set us up for our aesthetic autumn meals. There was no more than a 2 minute wait before my buzzer lit up, vibrating the entire table. At first glance I noticed the chili was made up of reddish-brown soup with kidney beans, chickpeas, assorted vegetables, and ground turkey to bulk up the broth. Steam rose from the center of the bowl, and filled the air with a faint smell of cinnamon and chili spices.The pleasant texture and enchanting aroma were promising.That being said, the actual chili did not taste like the delectable euphorical experience I was promised. Panera has much better gems throughout it's menu. To be frank, the chili was not terrible, but it was not good enough to purchase again or to replace my go to order.The green goddess salad is still my clear first choice, and this chili didn't do much to challenge that. Of course, the addition of bread nicely complemented the soup, but the bread was really the star of the show. And lets not forget the main reason I ordered this item, to enjoy a snack on my study break and to forget I have hours of work left. This soup did not make me didn't make me forget anything, in fact, it kind of reminded me why I don't eat chili. For my chili enthusiast reading this, I have a simple suggestion: stick with your tradition chili, there is no competition here. And as for my chili-haters, this seasonal dish won't be changing your mind anytime soon! read more

indifferent rude employees... managers don't care how the customer feels. Attitude is basically, 'don't like it? leave'. One of the employees has a hideous cold sore or something on her mouth... very unappetizing. Makes me wonder 'how clean is it here?' Order was close to correct, but always a little off. Also doesn't seem up to standards in current COVID situations. Just don't feel safe. I give up! read more

I have not had the best experience with this location. Granted they are new, but communication is very important. I had an issue with a delivery order and could not get ahold of anyone. I ended up calling corporate, and they couldn't even get in touch with the location. I have received hard cookies twice when indicating I would not like hard cookies. (Yes, it's a preference, but the cookies I received were quite hard. Hard to where if you microwaved them, they were still hard.) Other than that, the food I ordered was really great. They are still having a phone issue as I have tried to call them due to my delivery saying it is out for delivery an hour early. (The delivery persons were personable and apologetic.) I hope that they get the phone and delivery together quickly. read more
