Super busy on a weekend. Thought this would be a great place to meet a friend for lunch. Very wrong. Crazy busy. It would be better if you were spending some time at the mall and didn't want the food court. I saw some people working on laptops, which is crazy to me because it was so packed I can't imagine being able to concentrate on anything at all. We ordered lunch items, the sandwich and salad, and the soup and and sandwich, and the food was quite tasty, but for me, I'd rather eat somewhere less chaotic any day. read more

The quality, quantity, and care isn't what it used to be. Hope they can come back to their 'better self' after the pandemic.

I'm really, truly surprised by the previous reviews for Panera! After several years of playing the field, sampling many of the menu items, I've settled on a favorite: the Asian Sesame Chicken Salad, French Baguette side, and a soda. The salad, huge, filling, with high-quality chicken, a light, tangy dressing, almonds, wontons, and cilantro. Mouth watering just thinking about it. The baguette--something I don't often indulge in--is fresh baked in-house; crispy outside, tender inside. Worth the carbs. With the soda, it comes to just over nine bucks. Since it's counter service, no tip, even. Sure, that's not what I'd want to spend on lunch every day, but an occasional lunch this good is well-worth nine dollars to me. And, as is usually the case, if I'm here meeting a friend for lunch, it's an outright bargain for three hours of catching up. Seven bucks for a cold sandwich (with pickle, and a choice of chips, apple or baguette on the side)? Well, these are big sandwiches, with high-quality ingredients and fresh-baked breads, and Panera has created many unique, tasty flavor and textural combinations. Too much for you? Well, go get your $3.00 sandwich somewhere else--it *is* getting crowded at Panera. read more

I used to love Panera when I was a meat eater but had to stop going due to their lack of veggie options. (The majority of the soups are made with animal broth even if they don't contain meat). Panera has stepped up their game in recent years and I'm happy about the direction they're trying to go. I used to adore their bread bowls with wild rice soup and according to my mom it's still good! I had the Mediterranean sandwich once and did not like it. The combination of items was a little off putting and didn't make for a good sandwich. I've recently had the soba noodle bowl, Mediterranean quinoa salad and the vegetable soup without the pesto. The soba noodle bowl was a little different than I was expecting. It's less broth and more noodle which is fine but the overall taste of the dish is rather charred for some reason. I was pretty satisfied with my quinoa bowl! Once you mix it up it's rather tasty. Kale, beans, tomatoes, quinoa and olives. Delicious, filling and refreshing. The vegetable soup wasn't anything special so next time I'll do a full bowl of the salad. The quinoa soup bowl they have does not come without protein. Apparently they're unable to make it without egg which was disappointing because it sounded tasty. I've also had the mac and cheese and it's not very good. Goopy and always old looking. Pass on that Just a note: The woman who took our orders wasn't too familiar with the menu and had to look everything up. read more

It was nice to get a table with access to plugs, but the internet was crawling. I had to switch to my own hotspot in order to get some work done. I do like that they offer a vegetarian black bean soup . . . it keeps me energized all afternoon! I'd like Panera even more if they offered oatmeal with soy milk for breakfast! And if they could speed up their cash register lines and coffee-making processes. They often have the same person taking the money who runs to get the pastries. I was traveling and I came here two mornings in a row. On the second day I just wanted a coffee to go. In fact, I showed up about 15 minutes early just so I could get a coffee, but I could tell the line was too long for me to get the coffee in time to catch the bus. Turns out I was able to get a Dunn Bros Coffee when I arrived at my destination and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they have organic soy lattes and faster processes. Next time I'm back in Minneapolis, I'll choose Dunn instead of Panera. read more

Average, run-of-the-mill sandwiches. The bread is pretty good, and I wouldn't mind buying a loaf of it. But the food is pretty average overall, the sandwiches are decent, ect. ect. It's nothing special overall, I don't mind coming here for a quick bite, but I certainly don't love it either. read more

I am a fan of Panera... I frequent them often for work appts. One thing to note about this location, is that it is significantly quieter in the mornings. Lunchtime it is SUPER busy, and most tables are full. And as you can imagine, the mall parking is also better in the morning too. I love their soups - - and of course their pastries! If your not already of member of their frequent diner program, I'd recommend joining. It's free and you get lots of complimentary goodies. read more

Panera bread is the same everywhere. "Hmm, I want coffee and I am kind of hungry." "Oh look! Panera!!" 10 minutes later............ "This coffee blows and this food is kind of mediocre." Yet, we all go again and again. It will do in a pinch. $9 for two small cups of coffee, a bagel and a nuked quiche. Woo. read more

I can't in good conscience give this place 5 stars, but only because of the price... It's very good food, the soups and salads are amazing, but in order to keep the price down you have to sacrifice flavor when it concerns the sandwiches... Which is really disappointing. I really loved what I had last night though! The Thai Chopped Chicken salad that I had was delicious! It was such a large portion, and all of the amazing veggies that were piled in it, as well as the dressing with a light kick! Thinking about it right now makes me want to go back to Panera for lunch today... Anyways, the restaurant is really clean looking, the staff is pretty friendly, the food is fair to excellent, and the coffee is really good! I won't make my way back to this particular location soon but that's really only because of how far away it is from my place... But the one in downtown is perfect for me! Honestly, for the people on here complaining about how the food is bland or whatever, I would encourage you to not order off the "cafe" menu and order stuff off the specialty lists. It has WAY more flavor and it's full of all the delicious organic ingredients that I've come to expect and love! read more

I love Panera. The smell of fresh bread. Delicious coffee. Amazing soups! This Panera is no different, in fact, it has the potential for greatness because it is open, roomy, and has a great vibe of people coming in and out. However, their internet is terrible! I can't spend the day working on my finals while eating soup in a bread bowl if I can access the assignments. I love you Panera, but it may be time for us to see other people. read more

I'm a big fan of Panera bread and I like that's it's available at the mall. However it's located outside the mall in the new development. If you aren't at the mall and just want to Panera Bread, the mall parking makes it difficult. The staff was nice and the food quality and choices were great! Coffee is always hot! read more

This is my breakfast sandwich. This sandwich made for a toddler & med coffee $8. I won't be back. Poor value. Also, they said someone would deliver my sandwich to my table. 15 minutes later I had to go get it. It was cold read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

My 1st visit to Panera and this store, I ordered a sandwich chips and a drink.. Waited 20+ minutes I couldn't wait anymore, no one was behind the counter so I left! Asked Panera customer relations about a refund and they screwed around for a week, then wanted me to open a "My Panera" account! I'm never going back there so why would I do that? They then asked me for the same information I already gave them 3 times!!! So I told them "Keep the $14.00 Bucks have a nice day" I wish I could give them less than one star! Crappy service, and even crappier customer service!.... My 1st visit is my last. read more

It was my first time eating here and I must say it not only was it very good but the service I received was exceptional!! I was greeted by Isiah offered to have me use touchpad to place my order but told him I would love to have someone help my decide on what to get cuz it was my first time. Tim took my order and after order was almost complete he did a great job attaching a pastry to my order. Isiah was standing near by to confirm my choices! Totally my style appreciated that much man. Wish I could of worked with others cuz I imagine the rest of the team would do well too. Props to Tim and Isiah for making my fist time a great experience!! Kinda pricey but it was very good and we will be back. read more

30 minutes later and we're still waiting for our order. There only seems to be one person making food and one serving.

This spot is kept so clean and does a very good job at enforcing customers to social-distance and wear masks. The employees are incredibly kind and have such lively spirits, never a dull moment here. The food is good and their prices are great! much respect for my local Panera. read more

We usually enjoy going to Panera, but this time we ordered for delivery. Turns out Panera does not do the actual delivery, DoorDash does. We placed our order an hour and a half before the desired delivery time. The driver was over 30 minutes late, rude to my wife, made no attempt to apologize, and Panera said sorry but not our fault. This isn't the first time we've had issues with DoorDash deliveries, but it's the last. We won't order from anyone using DoorDash, including Panera. read more

I really like how fresh all the food is, especially the sandwiches! Yummy! However, I can't get enough of health fresh food and am not shy of large portions! I would like to see larger portions given the price range offered. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable for many. The ordering process not only allows face to face requests but also electronic ordering at the back of the ordering line. read more

I can't say anything negative about the food. However, this Panera offers delivery.... Sometimes. Three times this week they haven't had a driver. This is happened several times in the past as well. Get your stuff together Panera! I'm hungry! read more

The perfect little place to go when meeting with someone. It's quiet in the mornings and cozy. I try not to go around noon, though - the place is extremely crowded during lunchtime and finding a table is less than pleasant. I usually order a salad because the quality of their lettuce is so good! And I love the croutons. Panera's soup is delicious, always warm and flavorful with interesting varieties. The staff are friendly, although during my last visit, the cashier was very quiet and I couldn't hear a thing she said, which ended up in an order mix-up. It was all good in the end, though. 4 stars, I'm a fan! read more

Ordered a salad and a soup. Requested for tomatoes to replace the almonds (nut allergy) and they did not even add it in. All there was in the salad was a couple pieces of chicken, spinach and dressing. Awful and will NEVER go back. read more

11/29/18 Waited 45 mins today for our food - along with several other customers! They were telling people at the main register of the wait but, not the kiosk customers. Failed to get my drink or my receipt for the order. When I spoke with the manager and told him maybe they needed to put a sign on the door and kiosk he said "I will take it under advisement". He did nothing. It appears the short bus drops off the employees every day! read more

They have recently added an option to tip on every order. The high school cashier was nice until I opted "no" for my $3 bagel (all he needed to do was put it in a slicer machine and then it and put it in a bag). I got home and saw my $3 bagel was sliced partially on top. Who would put this in a bag and call it good. I guess the guy that thinks $3 is not enough for a bagel. Panera: pay your employees a decent wage and get rid of the tip option, your food is overpriced enough. read more

I love Panera's food but wow is this store slow. Every time I come I wait approximately 20 minutes plus for my food. I ordered online to be ready for pick up at 1:35pm and did not get my food until 1:52. What's the point of online order ahead then? I also asked for the sauce on the side and did not get that. Not sure if I will return due to this constantly long wait. read more

Ordered two cold sandwiches, a cup of soup and cookie at the counter to go. Waited 20 minutes, which seemed like a loooong time. The place was a zoo and I was so glad to get out of there. Got home and there was no cookie (which I paid for). I like their food but the place puts me in a bad mood. And be sure to check your order before you leave. read more

This was literally the most disgusting Panera I've ever been to. The floor was actually sticky - EVERYWHERE. It smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in months and our table had a gnarly film on it. Food was not good and neither was the service. I'd avoid it if possible. read more

Best Panera I've been to, their sandwiches always taste better here. I use their delivery 2-3 per month, easy online ordering, quick delivery, kind staff. Keep up the good work! read more

I think panera does a pretty reasonable job with lunch. If you need to get in quick and out quick, this place does the job. Not much of an atmosphere, but ok. Especially with an impatient 2 year old. read more

The food here is good, except for the four cheese souffle, which is available about 25% of the time that we go for breakfast. The service here is enough to knock this place down by three stars. For example, the cashier asked my wife if she wants a soda with her meal, and then walked away, apparently at just that moment deciding that going to get the souffle was more important than listening to the answer to the question he just asked. There have been similar incidents to this. For example, one time I asked if they had M&M cookies. The cashier walked away to go stare at the case for a minute or two - how that doesn't just take 15 seconds I don't know - and then comes back and says they do. So I say "Can I have two?" Then he leaves again to go get two. Would've known I needed two if he had just talked to me. The whole time I intended to get two cookies. Another issue is the crawling pace of the cashier lines. Often the line doesn't move at all for five minutes at a time, and as a result the line is halfway out the door. I've taken business classes so let me help you out here. At every business, you try to find the bottleneck and then fix that bottleneck so you can get more business. It's called throughput. The bottleneck here is always at the point of sale, and it gives people the option of leaving and buying nothing. Get the orders in, and then fulfill the order. This isn't complicated. read more

Actually, I think this place is a great value. For lunch, the "U Pick 2" combo with half a sandwhich, and soup in a breadbowl is around $7.00. Plus you get your choice of baguette, apple, or potato chips as a side. Food is served quick and hot. At least 1 vegetarian soup every day, and a great med. veggie sandwhich. Staff is friendly and knowledable. I've been coming here for a couple of years and I always see familiar faces. read more

Overall 4/5 good service, clean and friendly. I would defently recommend this place if youre waiting 10 min for your movie as a quick bite to eat to save yourself the cost of overpriced popcorn. Cute caffe vibe too! Bring your books! read more

I had a really good experience even though I had a slight mix up that was very possibly my fault. Midway through my order I realized my wallet was in my car and they were very nice when I had to run out mid order and jumped right back in when I got back. Unfortunately, somewhere in that transition a piece of my order adding chicken to my salad was lost but when I mentioned it when I got my salad they were super nice and just brought me chicken. No extra charge, no real extra thought or problem even though it definitely wasn't on the receipt and I was totally prepared to just say it was a simple mistake and write it off. It was super nice, I didn't feel like a horrible inconvenience and they were really nice about it all. Food was good, standard Panera and no issues in that area so I recommend it. read more

I used to frequent a Panera bread closer to my residence, but it closed. I've been to the Rosedale location a few times as a substitute, slash when running errands at the mall. I won't be returning. Twice, now, while waiting for my food, I had to listen to the loud staffers in the "kitchen" loudly gossip about work drama, including why someone got yelled at for removing too much pickle juice out of the pickle container because they think it's gross but the pickles are getting ruined. I'm pretty sure everyone in the entire, sprawling restaurant could hear about this pickle juice work drama. They continued to talk shit about their coworkers as they put the finished plates out, but didn't call anyone's names because the pickle juice story is apparently really long. This happened the last time I was here, too. I waited in line forever as two employees finished a conversation that was blatantly about another employee. Food was average Panera food, I suppose. I got a sandwich on one of my visits and it was sloppily made comprised of about 1/3 lettuce. Meh. read more

Well, they forgot my order. I reminded them and it still took 10 minutes. And is was slapped together with no concern of quality. Panera has gone down a bit but this location is worse than most read more

I wanted to order a sandwich and a salad and they told me it was going to be a 25 minute wait. I would never go back to this location

We arrived and the restaurant did not appear that busy. We went to use the iPads to order and there were no pagers left to place our order and had to order to-go. Then it took well over 20 minutes to receive our BURNT food. Overall, a terrible experience. read more

When did they start having someone serve the food to the tables? It was faster and my food was hotter when I could go pick it up myself. I was there last week and the kid who was delivering the food had his pants hanging off him. Had to pull them up. Just really not impressed w the change. Then he left my order up on the counter because he couldn't find me. I was two steps away from the counter. Doesn't make sense to me to pay someone to do a service that was fine the way it was. Food was good. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have had Panera dozens of times from multiple locations. Rosedale in particular, has been the worst. To give a frame of reference, I have never left a negative review on anything. First time for everything. My boyfriend and I ordered "lentil quinoa bowl (VEGETARIAN), small Mac and cheese, and a BOWL of cheddar broccoli soup. Our sides were baguettes" What we received was "a lentil quinoa bowl with CHICKEN, a small Mac and cheese and a CUP of the soup. No sides." This was a rapid pickup order, so none of this was discovered until we were already home. To make matters worse I called 9 times with the hopes of getting this fixed and was hung up on before even speaking to anyone each time. Rosedale Panera, you suck. read more

I love Panera. This location is very busy and always jam packed. I eat a lot of salads and every salad I've had is awesome. I like they have added the calorie counts to the menu board. Keeps me and my husband from over eating. Also, happy they have added Aci berry iced tea. Yummy. read more

Our food took 45 minutes for no reason. Breton was amazing tho he needs a raise and promotion the weasels
