    Well-priced, great deals (especially with the app), healthy fare, and respectful service. Order on app, at kiosk, or at register. Place is clean and accessible - though no handicap button on front doors.

    Rapid Pickup shelves

    This Panera location is great! There's no dedicated free parking but there are garages nearby. The interior was clean and well maintained. I placed an order for Rapid Pick-Up, but there was a sign that said to go to the cashier. One of the food prep employees was super friendly and asked me the name for my order and I told him and he handed me my food. I dined in. My Mediterranean veggie sandwich tasted great---fresh, made just as I had requested with the extras included, and simply delightful! The ambiance was also enjoyable. Music playing, ample natural sunlight. Plenty of seating including booths, tables, and armchairs. The men's bathroom was clean, the dining room floors were actively being vacuumed, an employee was proactively collecting finished plates and trash, and all employees seemed to be loving their jobs. Great all-around experience!

    I was seriously procrastinating about doing any kind of work today, even though I really needed to catch-up with my current project. I remembered that this restaurant provides a co portable place to work or just chill out. So far after being here for a half hour, I still have only been chilling. Perhaps today just isn't my day to do much. I ordered a cave latte hoping that this would give me so e energy, but with little luck so far. Did I mention that the booth chairs here are extraordinarily comfortable? I likenit here because nobody really bothers you, and the restaurant music level is reasonable. The latte is perfect, and I am starting to think that working 6 days a week is the problem. Or perhaps two lattes would do the trick?

    I wouldn't eat this apple. Even after washing, it still had that white stuff on it.

    Got a turkey avocado sandwich that was pretty decent. It wasn't cut in half like it usually is. It was fine but the apple really is not something I would want to eat. Even after washing it, which I shouldn't be required to do, it's still has this white stuff on it and miss shaped with some bruises. I thought Panera should do better for an apple.

    I ordered a catered breakfast for a staff meeting consisting of 68 people. Ally delivered the breakfast. I was impressed that she was punctual as the campus for my employer is big. I liked that they delivered the breakfast in extra large reusable plastic totes. I saved them for future meetings in case there are leftovers I can transport them back to the office. For breakfast I ordered: -several bundles of the pastries and bagels -several fruit bowls -tea -coffee -orange juice -bottled water When Ally put the food out I was informed that they do not provide a tray for the bagels. It came in a paper bag. I was a bit shocked and disappointed that they do not provide the bagels in a more presentable fashion for a catered event. It would be challenging to see the bagels in the bag to make a selection. Additionally, it would also be unsanitary as a person may touch multiple bagels to get the one s/he wants. Fortunately, Ally, came up with a creative solution and suggested I use the lids of the pastry to lay out the bagels. For the fruit bowls, I asked Ally if they provided a serving spoon and she informed me that they ran out. This was disappointing as my colleagues had to use a regular size plastic spoon or fork to get a scoop of fruits which would take a long time. I ordered three bowls which was enough for 30 people and only one bowl got eaten completely. Between using the bagel bag for a catered event and not having enough supplies on hand, it left me with a bad impression. I was also shocked that an individual bottled water cost $1.99 for 16.9 oz. I'm sure that's standard at most establishments, but that's still really pricy. It cost $80 for 40 bottles. Had I not had far to carry the water around on campus, I would have bought it at the grocery store for less than $10. The highlight of the breakfast for me was the service provided by Ally and the quality of the food. I really enjoyed the chocolate croissant and Asiago bagel. They were both very fresh. My colleagues seen to enjoy it and all the pastries were gone and there were only a few bagels left.

    Cheddar Broccoli Soup
    Kyla A.

    Perfect day to stop into Panera for some stemming hot soup. I ordered the cheddar broccoli soup for my sister and I which come with a side of bread. My daughter got the macaroni kids meal with a yogurt that she gobbled up with ease. The manager on duty Ezell was so nice and enthusiastic about assisting us with ordering it made the dine in experience all the more comfortable and relaxing. The place was clean and even though it was crowded it wasn't loud at all. Overall great location, food, and staff.

    Green Goddess Cob Salad/squash soup
    Kevin D.

    Wonderful Lunch Experience! I visited (12/14/18) wanting a quick lunch; Before attending a nearby appointment. I was apprehensive of wait as I arrived about 12:48pm. I found a seat immediately-thought the Place was full. Checking the menu choices, choices, I noticed No less than 3 employees taking orders. I placed my order The "You Pick Two" Selecting "squash soup" & "green goddess salad w/chicken." (See Photo) By the time I sat down about 5 minutes my Buzzer when off-my order was ready. The order was correct. The salad greens, avocados fresh, The chicken tender, The soup hot, creamy. The meal Delicious! The dining area clean. Excellent customer service!

    Teriyaki bowl- delivered barely half full
    Lina S.

    Ordered a teriyaki bowl among other things and it came barely half full. $10 for not even the whole meal. This was a delivery meal done thru the app. Not ordering from this location again- I'll pay the extra for delivery from Gaithersburg if it means I get all my food.

    Chipotle Chicken Avocado (Sandwich)

    I think is fair to look around and see all options before you go to eat out, it could be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Well, Panera at Rockville is a good place to stop by they have a pretty good menu. The franchise does a really good job caring their customers I believe every member get a good benefits form signing with them. (I do as a member) But, Panera in Rockville used to be great, more clean and organized, now every table is so sticky, this morning I try to get sitting and three tables in a row have crumbs everywhere. It's not good at all, due that the stablished is pretty and brand new. But, honestly I like how they keep the coffee area that's a good change to me. 4 stars cuz the franchise really cares it members.

    I think this is only my second time ever visiting any Panera Bread and was looking forward to the day this location was being opened - giving what seems to be more lunch options to choose from. I went with a few friends on the day this location opened and the first thing that caught our attention was how big the place is - very spacious. What you see first to your left is a lot of cookies, muffins, pastries and the likes and above it all are the menus. We visited in the morning and so the breakfast menu was up. I had the Sausage, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich which is described as Egg, Vermont white cheddar and sausage with salt and pepper on Ciabatta. Yes, it looks like it was put together and heated (see pic), but I enjoyed eating it. My friends each got Soufflés - the Spinach, Mushroom & Sofrito and the Spinach & Artichoke and they both loved theirs saying it was so good and that they are looking forward to going back again. Since there are so many choices to pick from, it is best to get an idea of what you want before going into the store or you can always order online and just pick it up - they have a pick-up area for that (located to the right of the cashiers). They have Breakfast Sandwiches, Bagels, Oatmeal, Yogurt, Fruit, Soufflés, Drinks including Coffee, Tea, Smoothies and other stuff, Soups, Panini, Broth Bowls, Salads, Flatbreads and Pasta. Like I said, it is great to have some better lunch and breakfast choices in this area and I am looking forward to my next visit already.

    Thanks for the extra burnt sandwich

    If you're ordering to go (rapid order) make sure you check your order is correct and complete. They often make mistakes and mess up your order. The manager is always very courteous, apologizes and corrects your order.

    We got takeout for lunch yesterday…read more My partner got a turkey sandwich, which was well-stuffed on a very fresh bread. They got it with lettuce, tomato and onion and were well pleased. Although they commented that a pickle slice/wedge accompanying the sandwich would have been nice, since the place is a deli. I got Emma's Protein Bowl, which was a large bowl with Kale, Brown Rice/Quinoa Blend, Falafel, Edamame, Chickpeas, Corn, Cucumber, Grape Tomatoes, Avocado, Black Lentils, Kalamata Olives, and Hummus. I got the Italian dressing on the side. The salad and dressing were good. The kale was crisp and flavorful and the veggies and other ingredients were fresh. The falafel was the one disappointment. The Bowl comes with three falafel balls. Each was hard and dry. There was flavor in there, but the toughness and dryness masked it. I ended up throwing one of the three balls away. Ugh. I gave Bean Bag 5 stars for our first visit and am not going to change the score because of the falafel. I thought about it, but everything else was very good.

Parking in the plaza was free. After finding a spot, I walked in and looked at the many choices they had to offer. As I was trying to figure out what to get, the great customer service I got from that point onward was 12 out of 10. I settled on one of their signature sandwiches and got it on a wheat roll since I am not a fan of rye bread. It was called the "Miami Beach Special". Menu describes it as having corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw with Russian dressing, lettuce and tomato. I settled on the Beanie size and that was still big, but I enjoyed every bit of it. I was informed that everything was made fresh and I liked that. I also got a cup of chicken noodle soup (yum) and a Snickerdoodle cookie. I heard their cookies are great so I couldn't leave without getting one. I sat at one of their tables indoors and enjoyed my meal. I would visit again. There are so many options to choose from.

I made a call in pick up order and got the chicken parm sub $11.75 and gemellis pepperoni special $24. Also, the service for ordering and picking up was quick and easy. - The chicken parm sub was solid, but the main problem was the lack of tomato sauce. - The pepperoni special was a miss for me, and that's unfortunate cause I remember it being way better last time. It's cheesy, but the lack of tomato sauce and the dough/bread being underwhelming/ weak really ruins the taste experience. Overall, it seems that Gemelli has definitely fallen off in terms of the quality & taste that I've enjoyed previously. Don't know if I'd be back, but I do know that their chicken parm and polpette subs are still worthy choices in my eyes.

It is a cute restaurant located off of Boiling Brooke Parkway in Rockville, Maryland. The inside is decorated with warm woods and shelves and freezers filled with Italian frozen entrees, desserts, and sauces. As you walk up to the counter, you are warmly welcomed. I ordered the Italian cold cut sub and the meatball sub. They have a huge assortment of chips. I am really regretting not picking up a package of my favorite chips. Next time... Service was great. The gentleman who waited on me couldn't have been nicer. It took about 5 minutes for my food to be ready and I was out the door. I want to echo other reviewers, when I say there are no tables or chairs for eating. This is strictly order your food and take it with you. My meatball sub was delicious. It was packed with large portions of meatballs, that were roasted in a tasty marinara sauce. The roll was fresh and soft. I highly recommend this sub. The Italian sub was good, but it was crying out for a little lettuce and tomato. I know that they offer the sub with a green sauce, but I found the taste of the sauce oily and too parsley heavy. I was really glad I had it put on the side. Other than that, the Italian meats were tasty and the sub roll fresh and tender. Prices were reasonable, it was about $20 for both subs.

We ordered a hot porchetta sub, cold cut sub, and homemade pappardelle with pesto cream sauce. The owner helped us choose a "soft" sub roll for the porchetta and a "hard" Italian baguette for the cold cut sub. The food was all very tasty and felt like we traveled to a simpler time where ingredients shine for themselves. The porchetta was tender and flavorful, and together with the soft roll, kind of reminded me of a Taiwanese gua bao or Cantonese charsiu bao. It was incredible and smelled so delicious! The cold cut sub was simple and well balanced, and good with the harder baguette. Lastly, the handmade pappardelle was delightfully chewy and reminded me of Chinese hand pulled noodles. Didn't expect to have such parallels with Chinese food- and I enjoyed reflecting on how different cultures can come to have similar tastes and values. Next time we'll have to try their desserts and more of their menu! Can't wait to come back. Go check out this gem in Rockville, and experience a taste of Italy!
