4 employees all too busy to address me, the 1 customer waiting to order. Don't bother with this Panera they are too busy taking amongst themselves for customers. Even a greeting would have been better than ignoring me as I stood there waiting. Is it that hard to find employees that have customers service skills? Very disappointed. read more

I paid 6 dollars for a Mac n cheese that is small and they couldn't even fill it to the top. Rip off read more

Best Panera ever! Great, friendly service! Both the lady cashiering and the man delivering the food were very kind! I thought it was weird that run out of butter but they were quick to offer a free substitute of my choice which I thought was very kind of them. Food came out promptly and was delicious! read more

1) They have good hours, open early enough for me to get good breakfast before class at 7:30 2) Fresh baked bread and pastries. Fresh made smoothies. 3) Friendly and good service. 4) Tons of free parking read more

Even though Panera Bread is a restaurant chain I like how they have healthy options from salads, soups, sandwiches and baked goods. This location at the Landing is quite large and very comfy with their booth seating, but seemed cramped due to all the people there during lunch time. It was packed the whole time we were there with many people walking around searching for an open table. My gf and I each got a salad with me getting the chicken ceasar salad which was a nice big serving including a side of fresh baked bread which I really liked. The salad was very filling with an adequate amount of sliced up chicken breast and the spot on amount of dressing. Good fast friendly service even though the place was very busy and another plus is that they have free WiFi which is definitely another star for this chain. read more

Typical cafe style place. Primarily pastries and breads. A bit over priced but serves its purpose. read more

I went to Panera to buy soup for my kids. I wasn't feeling good but I drove all the way there to buy my kids some lunch since that was the only thing they wanted to have for lunch. I bought 2 Broccoli cheddar soup I told him I wanted a cup instead of a bowl. It was a to go order so we came home I opened the bag and found less than half cup of the soup in both of the cups I was very disappointed so I called them and asked to speak to the manager. I told the manager what happened and he said you can come back and we will refund your money he didn't even say we are sorry or anything. read more

See all

A solidly good Panera. A big menu. Good coffee and espresso. Soups, salads and sandwiches. Great spot for kids!

Here's the thing. I came to Panera the other day and was told I have a coupon $1 off You Pick Two. So when I came in today, I already knew I wanted to use it. GINA, the cashier takes my order. She gives me my total and asks for here or to go? I tell her I should have a coupon loaded under my card. She replies very rudely, "Well I'll be able to tell you in a minute! For here or to go?!" Excuse me? You really shouldn't be giving me my total and asking for here or to go BEFORE telling me if I have any coupons/offers on my card. That makes absolutely no sense and gives me the impression that you don't want me taking advantage of my coupon. Of course people are going to feel as if they are losing out! Now I remember why I don't like coming here - slow service, lack of customer service, and it's pricey! No thanks Panera, I will take my paying business elsewhere! read more

I'm a big fan of Panera Bread. Their menu options are health-conscious and their food is delicious! This is my go-to spot when I've been feeling that I need to make healthier choices but still want tasty food. Plus, they are quick and convenient, with reasonable prices and large portions. My favorite salad here is the Thai Chopped Chicken. The dressing is absolutely amazing, with the right touch of tang and heat. There are generous chunks of tender chicken breast, with slightly-pickled carrot bits and grilled edamame. I usually order a half portion (with the You Pick 2 option) and find that the half is sufficient for my appetite. The other half of the You Pick 2 is for my son - he gets a Big Kids Grilled Cheese, which is half of an adult-sized grilled cheese sandwich WITH BACON! He loves it, usually doesn't finish the whole thing (which means I get to savor a few bites). The You Pick 2 also comes with your choice of chips, an apple, or a roll. I always get their bag of kettle chips. It is yummy. The other Asian salad dish is pretty good too. Other things I've tried and liked are: the chicken noodle soup, the BBQ chicken salad, the salmon salad, and french onion soup. Some things I didn't like so much were the soba shrimp noodle salad and the brocolli and cheese soup. Sometimes when I want to splurge, I order a bagel with cream cheese. Their cream cheese options are lowfat (or fat free, can't remember). My favorite flavor is the honey walnut. Delicious!! Finally, I recommend that you sign up for the Panera Card (which is free). You just need to give them your phone number each time, rather than carrying an extra card. It seems like every other time I'm there, I save a dollar or two or something or another. So, it's well worth it. Oh yeah, breakfast. Their individually sized quiches are amazing! read more

The only reason I did not give this location a five star review is because a lot of the staff is young and it shows by their inexperience with customer service. I'm not saying they have been rude but sometimes it's as though they are not paying full attention to the customer. Aside from that I have little complaints. The food is excellent!!! I typically order the ham egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it's always made perfectly. One person I would like to mention that goes above and beyond in their customer service is Cassidy. She's always friendly and helpful. read more

I can't believe I'm actually writing a bad review on Panera...this is one of my favorite places to eat. My friend and I came here after mass starving and I ordered what I normally would, a chipotle chicken panini and the chicken tortellini. When the food came, my friends soup that she ordered was only filled half way up to the line WTF (in the picture) and our panini's didn't taste very good, we've tasted better at other Panera's, it was every disappointing. My friend still was hungry after she ate all her food Bc there was barely any soup, I don't think I will be coming to Panera again, well this one at least. read more

Panera Bread - Chicken noodle soup barley filled up to the line smh - Sandwiches Near Me - Renton, Washington

They don't even deserve 1 star! The service is awful! I ordered three ham and cheese sandwiches, they only put 1 piece of ham and 1 piece of cheese, no lettuce or tomato. I could have gone to Safeway Deli and for $6.00 received a great sandwich. I travel all over the US and eat at Panera's, the Renton Location is the worse! I took pictures of the sandwich to send to corporate it was so awful. The girls are rude and they didn't even offer me a .99 pastry. I love Panera but this Location will never see a dime of my money again. read more

I was with my family at the Panera Bread in Renton Washington. And one of the employees who said her name was Maria was very disrespectful and rude. They didn't give me one Mac and cheese and when I resquested she start with a bad actitude asking me to show her my bag my recipe. Worst experience ever I hope you take actions and ensure that your employees are educated and polite read more

I'm reviewing this based on the whole Panera concept. I'm already assuming that you know their prices are a little on the high side. This has been one of the better Panera's I've been to. The counter staff seemed to be quicker than the ones in Federal way and Alderwood Mall. The location is decent if you're at the landing, Parking is behind the building. I like their broccoli soup and their roast beef sandwich on asiago bread. They serve Pepsi products and have fresh brewed iced tea. They also have decent pastries. I like the cinnamon crunch bagle with hazelnut creamcheese. Their breakfast quiche is pretty decent as well. It's a fun little place to check out. I think there is free wifi. read more

I used to be a really big fan of Panera, especially their broccoli cheddar soup. Lately, I've found their portions to be smaller and their prices higher. For a breakfast sandwich (the new steak one with egg). it's almost six dollars and the thing is not that much bigger than one from Starbucks. Plus, the steak was boiled and the cheapest cut of meat. Not that satisfying... If you can afford the caloric price, stick with their pastries and bagels. The cinnamon sugar bagel cures depression (almost). I want to continue to like this place, but it's tough when it seems like it's going downhill. read more

We went here to work and have lunch. I don't care for the layout. We were at a small table, because we needed an outlet. And, everyone and their brother had to go by us to get to their table. Narrow channels to flow through to the tables. The food is excellent. I'm always happy with my salads. Friendly staff. read more

Occasion: Lunch This Panera location is one of the newer locations. It's quite different from other Panera's I've been accustomed to. I love the high ceilings and just the open dining room area. I've been a Panera customer since 2002 on the east coast. Their dynamic menu is ever so changing and the food has never disappointed me. The Renton staff was very nice and gave me a very warm Panera welcoming. A+ to this location. read more

Please tell your associates that the difference between a latte & cappuccino is much less milk for a cappuccino. I came in for a soufflé. There were only 3 out at 9:30. I asked if they were going to bring any out that had no meat. I had to repeat several times. They didn't understand but finally said they had a cheese but kept looking at them (they all look the same) couldn't tell which was what. It has been a long time since my last visit now I remember why. It will be an even longer time before my next one. Terrible read more

How can this place stay open? Bagels are as flat as a photocopy of a real one. Luke warm (toasted) with rock solid frozen butter and to wash it down, empty containers of coffee. Breakfast was a forgettable and non-repeatable experience. read more

First, I'm a fan of Panera. Yes, they're a chain, but their soups and sandwiches are pretty good, and they offer a rather large variety. (I'm a huge fan of the French Onion). Why 2 stars then? This has got to be the dirtiest Panera I've ever been to. Especially given the area it's located in. (The Landing is a rather neat shopping area in Renton, Washington). On the day I visited, they had many staff working, but patrons were walking around looking for clean tables. Trash cans were overflowing. Crumbs/dirt on the floor... Not exactly the best atmosphere for eating. Surely one of the many employees could help pick up. read more

I used to like Panera... but I felt that the quality has declined over the years... the sandwiches are soaked in fatty dressing/meyo and are soggy by the time I try to eat them... I feel that I am getting McDonald quality sandwich ( which is still edible) at way higher price!!!! read more

Seriously. How hard is to to order some over priced salad and not get dressing for it? Do I have to literally stand there and go through my bag and check my salad before leaving the place to see if I've got my dressing? I had to find out they left out my dressing after I've driven home, damn near almost passing out from being so hangry. Where's the quality assurance? Anyone would be pissed if they had to go through what I just did. Some advice to future patrons: Check your bag thoroughly before you leave the place. read more

This Panera doesn't have the best management unlike other places. The past 4 times I've done a to go order, they always forget something - just a few minutes ago I had to drive back to the place because they forgot a whole sandwich and my sides. Asides from forgetfulness, I witnessed a worker cleaning a garbage bin with no gloves and immediately get called in for a customers order but doesn't wash her hands. read more

This location of Panera Bread is clean and the employees are nice! The food is consistent and healthy- just like all of the other Panera locations I've been to. Came here early in the morning and didn't have to wait at all... plus I got my first pick of all of their pastries! Now that's pretty awesome in my book :) read more

I love Panera and use the app to order all the time. This location messes up my order ALL the time and my order is frequently late. They clearly staff a bunch of high schoolers with no direction. The kids always seem to be working hard, but they are still kids. I've worked with the manager to rectify issues with my order, which they do always correct (chain policy) but she was muted, she wasn't rude exactly but she hardly said two words to me and seemed More annoyed she had to do any work at all. I never see her on the floor unless something is wrong. In comparison to the southcenter location, I go out of my way to avoid this one. read more

We took the kids here for a quick early dinner last night, because my parents had sent us a gift card for our anniversary (an odd choice, but why not?). Anyway, as it turned out, I accidentally stuck the rewards card into my wallet, instead of the gift card, because they looked almost identical. So it was a bit awkward when we got to the cash register and I tried to pay with the rewards card, insisting that "there was $50 on it"! LOL Anyway, fortunately their prices were reasonable enough. As for the food, well, mixed reviews from the fam. Good choices: the soups, in general are excellent. I personally love their tomato soup, which I usually buy from the refrigerated section at Target. The french onion soup and broccoli cheese soups were also hits. The side caesar is big for a side dish and very tasty, according to my daughter who is a caesar salad afficionado. I also really liked the vegetarian sandwich on tasty tomato bread. Misses: they really should do better with the kids meals, for the prices. The grilled cheese was tiny and tasted as if it was cooked "dry" with no butter...virtually tasteless, even to a child's palate. The macaroni and cheese was good, but again, a TINY serving, and for $5? It should have been double what we got, and it was especially obvious how small it was because it was served in a biggish bowl. My son was still hungry afterward. Another big negative: They advertise that you can get a baked good for $.99 if you buy an entree, but beware! You must buy the cookie or whatever at the same time as you purchase the entree. I thought this was utterly ridiculous...shameful, really. I can see why they wouldn't honor this if you try to come back later or the next day, but we had literally just finished eating, and I brought my receipt up to the counter to purchase two cookies for the kids at the reduced rate, and they charged me the full $2.09 per cookie...rip-off! Because the cookies weren't even that great, they were a little stale-tasting. The atmosphere is nice, the coffee very good, but I don't know if I will be back (except to use the real gift card!). It feels kind of like they "nickel and dime" you. read more

We have not been in awhile due to bad experience, over 2 years. We went today and was not great. Better in some ways but much worse in others. The ordering experience was absolutely terrible. The cashier when asked to explain the 2 for was so busy talking to other cashiers that she neglected to tell us the actual cost of the items, the menu is confusing so naturally we expected the cashiers to lead us out of confusion... nope. She half way through our few questions she turned and talked to her co worker for a bit than kept taking our order, rude and made us feel invincible. Needless to say.. our order was a mess. Things not on our plate as in the bread that goes with the meal... ect ect ect. There was so much staff on but they moved like they had all day .. during a busy time (1pmish) The food was ok, the drinks we paid a lot for freskas ... horrible. No flavor of the actual fruits in the drink... tasted like water. So bad! Somebody needs to pay attention those drinks are a waste of money. We sat at a table we had to wipe down with a napkin. The employees walking around we're great at looking busy but I think wiping down all the dirty tables comes before sweeping up a few crumbs off the floor... it was laughable. We all got the .99 cent pastries mine was the cheese cake pastry.. stale and flavorless. When I say flavorless I mean.. yuck. My husband got the cherrie filled pastry and that at least was ok. This place needs training lots and lots of training. There was a managers That on but she worked harder than the actual staff. She was so busy filling in the gaps... a huge hole was created. :( Kudos to her for at least trying but perhaps lead. Just saying. read more

Let me say, when you order a meal "for here" that you'd assume, your drinks from the espresso bar to be served in a cup. And if your drink comes in a paper cup, that it's no big deal to have your drink remade correctly. My dear cashier, Anna, (young, dark hair & glasses)... when a customer corrects their order to you - you don't tell them/inform them/attempt to scold them that they should've clarified further... than a hot chocolate (or whatever the drink) FOR HERE. At Panera, your order should be correct EVERYTIME - and if it's not, you fix it right away. Not a huge deal, just an irritant that could keep customers from coming back to the Landing location. Just a heads up Corporate, your Kent location has the best Manager, friendly upbeat staff, and a higher level of cleanliness expectations for the patrons. The Landing definitely needs an inspection. read more

Panera Bread - We've been here for 30 minutes and these tables JUST got cleaned. They were dirty before we even arrived. - Sandwiches Near Me - Renton, Washington

How did I never write a review for this place?! I am a frequent lover of Panera's food, but not of the prices. The pick 2 can be a good deal but be careful because you pay extra if it is a "signature" item. I base this review off today's visit. I went in around 11:30 and the line was huge already. I guess everyone else had the same idea. The line moved quickly and I placed my order. I wanted a large mac and cheese. It's pretty much heavenly. Went over to wait for my food and after about 5 mins she informed me that they had to make more and it would be an additional 5-10 minutes. I didn't have that long to wait since I needed to get back to work. They took care of me though and got me soup and a sandwich too. The got it done fast and apologized. They even offered me a free pastry but I declined...pretty sure the cost difference was already more than what I had paid originally and I didn't want to be a greedy Guss. They fixed the issue and had great customer service. I will be back of course. Get the loyalty card if you go there a lot. I have gotten a bunch of free food with it. read more

I"m updating my past review due to the fact that they have gotten a little bit better. They just have good eats if you like a nice salad, sandwich and yummy bowl of soup. And it seems they have gotten away (some) from the 'go to the counter and collect your food' thing they use to do in the past. At least at this location I'm seeing someone come out from the counter with your food to locate you at your table. Still, I find some of the employed here rather poor examples of good staffing. Not that the food or business model should be starbucks like EXCEPT in attitude - employee to customer and employee appearance does matter. At this Panera location they are still lacking. read more

This place is awful . They suck compared to the south center location . They sell old bread and old products . The give u things u didn't order in order to get rid of old product read more

I am in love with Panera, not only because I live across the street and it is incredibly convenient, but it provides me with a yummy, healthier option than other fast food chains. I usually order the pick two deal because I think it gives you the best bang for your buck. The tomato, potato, and brocoli cheddar soups are all delicious and I would suggest the mozzerella and tomato panini as well. Their baked goods are spectacular. I also cannot leave without getting one of their cranberry orange smoothies! Pricewise, it is a little bit more expensive than most fast food places, but it is also better quality - not some sloppy, greasey hamburger with a side of cold french fries. I would rather spend like two dollars more than I would on a McDonalds combo meal and get something that I am actually going to enjoy and not feel disgusting and sick after I am done eating. You can also get a mypanera card which has great perks - I am always getting free drinks, pastries, money off meals, etc. It's a good deal in my eyes. Another thing that I really appreciate about the Panera at The Landing is the customer service. All the workers are always friendly. They seem informed about dietary restrictions because they always ask me if I am a vegetarian. The managers actually walk around the tables and ask you how your food is. Today, a mistake was made on my mom's order and not only did they fix the problem, but they fully refunded the price of her order. They actually seem to want their customers to return! read more

What a total horror regarding their response to COVID19. The person bringing out the orders had no mask and no gloves on. She came within 1-2 feet of customers - also wearing no gloves and no mask - and handed them their food, rather than leaving it on the designated table. The employees did not have on masks or gloves and were touching the napkin dispensers, silverware etc. She never placed our order on the table, but left it inside the store, requiring us to enter the store. She also never informed us that the order was ready, so we sat there for 20 minutes. I would say if you care about your health - stay away from Panera at The Landing. read more

This is pretty much a work place lunch staple. They have coffee and the rapid order which is awesome because I can preset my ridiculous orders in my salads ahead of time then pick it up Everyone is usually friendly here and it's not too crowded! read more
