Been a while since we've been. Unlikely to return for a future meal. Inflation to value ratio has diminished to the point that it's too expensive for what we received. Admit our misunderstanding. "You pick two" pricing is not the deal I remember it to be. Drinks 3.39 each. So recap -2 half salad, one was leave off chicken, One half sandwich and 2- 3.39 cent drinks was 32.00 before tax. Food was ok, my half salad seemed smallish and thin slices of chicken and her Fuji "Apple" salad was shaved bits of dried apples, not actual you know, apples. Her sandwich seemed ok. read more

Well my 10 dollar bowl of soup .looked like same soup u buy at grocery store. A cup was 9 dollars so for another dollar I got the bowl .But the bowl was big .looks like they poured the cup size in the bowl & charged another dollar read more

We made a pit stop here on the way to a mountain bike trip in Arkansas. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Good food and drinks--especially the flavored lemonade! Got a few refills before hitting the road. read more

Panera Bread - the front of the store - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Feeding the photogs at the dog show. This place did a nice job of prepping sandwiches that held up nicely throughout the day. Good variety, consistent, friendly staff. Would use them again to feed the team if I was in the area. read more

Overcharged me on a drink and didn't even give me what they overcharged me for (extra caramel in a latte). The woman working at the register was wiping the crumbs off the counter with a tissue that she then used to pick up customers' pastries. Add to that multiple people didn't show up for work. I know this because the 'manager' was complaining about it and then being rude to customers who didn't pick their orders up fast enough. read more

Well, it's been awhile since I went to Panera. We are on a road trip and I didn't want fast food. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad having memories of a glorious array of greens, red cabbage, and wherever else you'd expect.. at first I thought they made a mistake snd brought me a half order (I used to take leftovers home with their full size salads). It was exactly the same size as my husband's half size strawberry poppyseed salad which did in fact look glorious. They still beat fast food. Sorry no food pics, it just didn't warrant photos. Ps: the baguettes are still delish read more

Ordered a steak and cheese sandwich. Was the worst tasting steak and cheese sandwich I ever had. Small and over priced too. For sides I had kids meal choices. Chips or apples. Paid close to $14 for the sandwich that wasn't good. A little bag of chips and a small fountain drink. The cashier was nice. I don't know. If over priced food that sucks is your thing this might be for you. Wasn't even healthy. I could give up some flavor for nutrition. The place had an upscale McDonald's fast food table atmosphere too. Came here for a meeting. They have a meeting room if you need that. Definitely will eat first next time. I hate bashing places. The employees were nice. The sandwich was made well as intended. It just wasn't good. No fault to the staff. Just overpriced subway with less taste and veggies. read more

I liked the Panera bread on Sunshine much more! This Panera bread had great service and a nice atmosphere. However, I ordered the same Southwest Chile Lime Ranch Chicken Salad and both the presentation and the flavors weren't like the ones I had at the other Panera. However, this place would be a great place to study or do some things on your laptop. Their bakery is also decent. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

They slayed. Food on point, I had a green goddess melt with a lot of modifications but they still got me right, and they even put my extra sauce in a little cup. I don't always like to support Panera because they are very expensive yet still only pay employees minimum wage, but the workers here are still doing an amazing job despite this! I would recommend you come here and enjoy a good meal and tip your workers! read more

This place was dirty, there was no one cleaning up the floor or tables. The food was not great and I was not happy with my $7 1/2 filled bowl of broth that was supposed to be chicken noodle soup. Turns out there was a total of 3 bites. The rest, broth. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Panera Bread - A 1/2 bowl of chicken broth. $7 for broth. - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This Panera is good. They are little organized- sometimes they hand you the food after ordering, sometimes they deliver, & sometimes they call you. The place is clean and quiet. The quality of the food is consistently great. The wifi signal is solid. There is a room to reserve for meetings and the Panera is attached to a library. read more

Panera Bread - Low Fat Power Green Smoothie & Spinach and bacon quiche - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Although it's really expensive. The cheddar broccoli soup is amazing, and the bread is alway spot on. I am also giving them 5 star's because I learned that they have a "pay what you can program" for people in need. Not everyone can afford their food, but everyone has the right to eat. Therefore any company willing to help end hunger deserves 5 star's in my book. read more

Love Panera for salads and bread. They have great systems in place for efficient service whether dining in or carryout. Containers for carryout are excellent. read more

The customer service was horrible. The person that "took" my order was rude and acted like I was putting them out by being there. It's not the first time this individual was like this. I have been there a few times and he consistently is rude and treats customers like trash. It's a shame because he is the only one that acts like this and he is the one taking the orders. I wish he had a name tag so I could call him out. read more

Stopped at Panera and got the Signature Chicken sandwich. Disappointed in that I paid $16 for the meal and the chicken was worse than fast food place. I ate the bun and toppings and apple. Next time I will stick to pastries only. Panera has really fallen in their quality. read more

Always love Panera. They are consistently great across the nation. This location was unique, spacious. The person who took my order reminded me of my free offers. Thanks! read more

Fairly clean building, however, service was pretty bad. Went in to get a bread bowl-- out of bread bowls-- asked for a baguette on the side of my soup instead-- out of baguettes. I would have been more forgiving had it not been for the rude cashier. They were not wearing a name tag, so I can only identify them by the fact that their right arm is amputated (pointing this out so that hopefully this attitude can be addressed). They were mumbling and we had to ask them to repeat numerous times, not friendly whatsoever, and acted inconvenienced that we were ordering. Same guy also started turning booth tables on their side (Making it seem as though they were closing up)? Mind you it's 5:25 and they don't close until 8. Along with all of this the pastries were dry and over-baked. read more

I ordered for delivery and it arrived quickly but my order was wrong. Also, we ordered bread bowls but we didn't get any. I'm assuming this means they were out of them. We paid extra for them but were not refunded. We customized a salad and the customizations weren't given. Our bacon Mac and cheese didn't have bacon (which we also paid extra to have). There was something wrong with every one of our orders. I went online and did what the website told me to do and emailed them but I still haven't received any form of help and it's been a few days. We are very disappointed. read more

Nothing better than a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup on a cool day! Panera has the best! Pair it with your favorite sandwich and you have a win! Never disappointed. read more

See all

My boyfriend wanted a deli sandwich for lunch but we couldnt think of anyplace to go so we settled for Panera. Like my previous post said, my first experience w/ them was horrible and I wasnt really looking forward to going back but WOW, I'm glad I did! We both got the 1/2 a sandwich and a cup of soup. I got the turkey sandwich w/ asiago on focaccia bread and the brocolli chedder soup. Wow, both were awesome! I know I'll be craving it again soon! Great for a cheap and overall healthy lunch! read more

This Panera is really nice and clean. I enjoy coming here to use their internet and have a nice salad. I haven't found it to be too busy--especially when comparing it to the Panera on National by Missouri State University. The service is fast and the staff friendly. If you're wanting a good pastry, salad, or sandwich, then by all means hit up Panera. *WiFi hotspot (free) *serves Crispini *Has a meeting room read more

This is my favorite soup and salad place in Springfield you can splurge with their bakery or just get a salad or some soup or sandwich even both. It's a great place to go get food or even order from your phone and pick up the food and the lounge area is stellar I love it so much, I love going there to sit down and have a chat with friend while eating or doing whatever it is I may be. Highly recommend for everyone read more

It's Panera so you know what you're gonna get. Great selection and good food. Love the You-Pick-Two and the treats you can get from using their loyalty program. Panera (not sure about all locations) at one time, put a limit on the use of the Internet during lunch tome but I think they've relaxed that rule. Just don't be a tool and take a big table for you and your work. read more

I dropped by at 6:15 and the crew today was awesome. The cashier who took my order was so nice and the kitchen staff were efficient and nice as well. Loved eating here! read more

I have frequented this location for the past 5-6 years. We come here a lot because it's attached to the library, and our son likes to come to get a milk and cookie after checking out books. It used to be great, although restrooms have always been dirty. I've always chalked that up to us being here during busy times. But, Last 5 times visiting, tables littered with crumbs, napkins litter the floor in the dining area, just totally in kept. No one ever seems to bus tables. Something has changed drastically at this locale. Maybe different management. Don't know. Or maybe, I've just not paid much attention and I'm more aware of filth now because I'm constantly thinking about the how bad the flu has been this year and don't want my son to catch it. Regardless, there should be someone paying attention to the tables and restrooms. read more

5 stars for the coffee. Why? Because, for some reason it just tastes better here! I asked the manager of my hometown Panera and she said they all serve the same brand so go figure. So what was it? The water? The fact I got there right at opening? Who knows. The staff is very friendly and obviously knows all the regulars well - I was the only one not greeted by name and with lenghty chit-chat since I'm from out of town. There is also the coolness factor of being right next to a library - actually attached! Get a coffee, a bagel, and a book! read more

I had a really great experience today, Luke, Emily, and the whole crew made sure my order was what I wanted. I can't say how much I appreciate them for going the extra mile for me! read more

Food was ok service so so slow. They were out for of most of the stuff I wanted, no substitutes for sides. Tired of the company, to expensive for bread and lunch meat! Go to macallisters next door instead read more

I ordered breakfast at 8:53, an hour later still got nothing. I called the store, Jordon told me at first they didn't receive my order and then that the delivery driver should be on her way. 10:20, I check the app and it says my order was complete. To my knowledge nobody had came to my door with any food. Low and behold I check my porch just in case and what do you know, my breakfast was sitting on hot concrete. Make sure your delivery drivers knock on somebodies door when it's 80 degrees outside. read more

Food was excellent and service was even better! Ordered breakfast and ate there. Decided I wanted to get a pastry for the road- the cashier, Joanna, was extremely sweet and asked about my travels. I shared with her that I'm relocating for a job and drove 11 hours the day prior and had another long day of driving ahead. I was debating between two pastries- eventually decided on one. As I was getting ready to leave, she handed me the other pastry I was contemplating, saying I may need a sugar rush later during my drive and wished me safe travels! This is what excellent customer service looks like and makes all the difference when deciding where to stop and grab a bite to eat! read more

Ordered from Panera yesterday evening as we were tired from driving all day. This was my first time using order online and having food delivered from Panera. I have eaten at many Panera's and I wasn't disappointed by this one. The food was wonderful. My broccoli cheese soup was piping hot and the turkey & avocado sandwich was perfect. Ordering online went very smooth, order arrived promptly and delivery person was very friendly. I love that Panera delivers! read more

First time at a Panera and last time. Ordered a coffee and a bagel/cream cheese. Coffee was self serve and mediocre at best. I had to ask for the bagel to be toasted and was given a cold tub of cream cheese. All served in a bag. Hot and cold don't mix!!!! It felt most unwelcome, uninterested service, and marginally decent product. Einstein's is much better. Starbucks at least makes you feel wanted. This place had all the charm and personality of a gas station (which would have been cheaper). Never again!! I'll search out a local coffee shop or hold out for somewhere else. read more

I like Panera's but tonight, wow! Service was terrible. Waited a good 10 minutes plus for my pick two and then the soup was barely warm. Everything just seemed off at the restaurant. Food tasted good so I gave 3 stars but if for service...1 star would have been too much. As I said, I like Panera's so I'll be back but we were not the only customers that were not satisfied with the service tonight! read more

My family and I were very disappointed by the customer service. When we walked in My family thought they would be greeted by a hello and smile by the cashier. What we really got was a snappy attitude. We tried to get her talking and all she did was roll her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. When we ask if she was tired she rolled her eyes and said obviously. We are traveling cross-country and we thought we would be able to get nice customer service and a decent meal, because of her we left to a different restaurant that had better customer service than this. read more

Something happened here. This place has always been good for lunch when I fly in from out of town. Today, the food was OK, not great. The dinning room was another story. None of the tables were clean. When I told the young woman who brought out our dinner she pretty much ignored me. The whole dinning room was dirty. The tables were not bussed the whole time we were there. Sorry, discussing! You people need to get your act together. read more

First time at this Panera as only went since I had a free pastry earned from being a rewards member. Got this cherry cheese danish, I'll say the best and maybe biggest cherry cheese ever had. A bit lacking on the cheese otherwise great. Place was near empty on a Saturday night,and ordered online, no wait my order at all. read more

Ordered a sandwhich once and it was...not great. I gave it a second chance and it was even worse. Chipotle chicken melt was horrible. Very bad for 10 dollars give or take. Never again. Plain Mac n cheese is pretty good but gets boring after a bit. Bbq Mac n cheese is not worth the money. The small amount of bbq chicken they add is not worth it. This whole company is not worth it. Hopefully this helps. read more

Great service. Ordered today it was way late soup was cold. However the manager was friendly apologetic and piping hot soup was here in ten minutes. So I'm one happy person with my hot soup. read more

Well we all know Panera is a crowded WAY overpriced option for OK food but we go here for...the internet. So with that in mind avoid this one. The Internet is "sketchy IF it works" as the panera associate put it. Pass on this one and try Mud house Café instead. read more

Austin is awesome! We missed a few things while ordering and he was so accommodating when we asked him to change it. Clean facility and friendly service! read more
