We are from St louis where st louis bread company panera originates. Ten vegetable soup was watery and baguette was soft and doughy! Way below their standards!! read more

This place has gone downhill incredibly since I first moved to vero 2 years ago. I don't know if it's because I have been online ordering lately but they never get my order correct and the food has just been ok. (Lunch) Breakfast is still pretty good and their custom teas are to die for but I think they need to work on the quality of food a bit. read more

Most delicious roast beef stand which is grilled cheese in French onion soup delicious food Panera I'm so glad you exist I wish I would've given this review a little earlier in the day so I would've had time to go there and get some food because now that's all I can think about is the delicious sandwiches with the soup read more

Not my favorite Panera location. This is the happening place for the octogenarian crowd and its always crawling with them. Its usually crowded and some days the line is out the door. Service can be on the slower side and food is basic Panera. My issue with this location is the coffees and teas are extremely watery and the to-go salad portion and side of french bread is smaller than other Panera locations. After my first visit, I thought this was a one time thing but now notice its this way with every visit. They are obviously trying to stretch the food/drinks. read more

We were early for our meeting; but, coffee-ed out from our drive down, so we ducked into Panera for a light snack; we split a Pecan Pastry Knot. It was quite good; and, reasonably priced. The location was very convenient to our meeting; and, near shopping and other outlets. The place was clean, well-maintained, with ample parking in front and on the side, as well as in back. We had access to plugs, to recharge our phones, or plug in the laptop. After a pitstop and a few minutes of e-mail, we were on our way over to the beach side of town! The only downside was that I could not connect to the free Wi-Fi, as the splash screen never came up; and, on Sprint I only had 2 bars; and, no 4G! read more

The customer service here continues to get worse. It seems they don't train the employees at all. We had picked the 2 to go order and waited with a pager. I was also asked for my first name when I ordered. However, when my pager went off and I went to pick up my order, the man in front of me took my order! They gave him our order obviously without checking his name. I am a girl and they had my name and my pager. The employees were looking at me like I should of known? Are they crazy? The guy who handed out my order said he couldn't believe the man took my order? Well, he gave it to him! Then, I had to wait for them to fix me a new order as the man took my two soups and sandwiches. I checked the bag and they gave me the wrong soup! Really! This is stupid! When I got home, the food was good, but the broccoli cheddar soup made me very sick. I can't blame the store for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if I had a touch of food poison. My daughter didn't get as sick as me, but her stomach hurt for a day. I can't say food poison due to the fact the soup is very, very, super rich and thick. I was also overcharged, but in the mayhem didn't realize it. I will never support the store again! It is true that bad employees can ruin a business. read more

They said 5 minutes and I waited 30 minutes for them to toast my god damn baguette IT WASNT EVEN TOASTED read more

I had the ham, egg and cheese farmhouse sandwich. Egg is over medium but could have had scrambled. Sandwich was delicious even though it was a little small for the $4.89 price. Can't complain too much because it was definitely quality ingredients. Quite a bit of good quality ham on the sandwich. Not a lot of people in the restaurant on a Sunday late morning and had normal service. I would recommend the sandwich as a great option to the unhealthy sandwich options available at other fast food restaurants. read more

Panera Bread - Egg ham and cheese farmhouse sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Not a fan of that fake a** chicken salad bruh bruh. Panera be playing. Grandma almost threw up. Bring a Zaxby's into Vero, their chicken be flames. read more

Overpriced, tasteless and dirty silverware....exactly what you would expect to get each time you go to Panera. The secret is to get the plastic fork and spoon even if you eat there, but you have to ask for it. Best not to think about what might be caked to the inside of the soup bowl you're eating from. Classic salad with chicken and balsamic and the broc cheddar soup was today's meal. Totally forgettable. They get an extra star for having multigrain bread. read more

Went here last night and really enjoyed it. The place is clean and the employees are very nice. Got the Green Goddess salad and some Broccoli Cheese soup and couldn't even finish it. Both, especially the soup, were outstanding. read more

I'm a Panera Bread expert, I have been to them for at least 10 years and many many locations. All of these types places depend heavily on who works there. The staff here was terrific, food was very good and seating was clean. I did read the other reviews but my experience was excellent. read more

I've ordered sandwiches and salads online 5 or 6 times, twice from the counter, plus once by phone, average order for 5, $55. Reliable clean food. Excellent chicken caesar salad. Sandwiches are good but a bit skimpy so I usually upgrade for $2; the upgrade produces a gushing too-stuffed sandwich, so Panera just can't win. On one online order I specified the available options for no onion on two sandwiches, no feta on two more, and added avocado on the last two; when I got the order home we found the standard with-onion, with-feta, without-avocado sandwiches. OK, so no tragedy, but still, I did pay $3.18 for the avocado, but I wasn't going to drive back to the store about that. I chalked it up to a new employee or an ultra-busy crew in the kitchen. Drinks in take-out orders: Avoid fountain sodas in cups which will (promise) tip over and leak no matter how they are packed, not appropriate for take-out orders in paper bags. There are some bottled, canned, and boxed drinks available, but none of the usual sodas; they should stock some. Sometimes the line moves slowly; some inexperienced employees may need a little more training and hand-holding. Still, Panera Vero Beach is one of our favorite sandwich take-out places. read more

I stopped in yesterday to get a coffee and a bearclaw. The line was backed up to the door and there was just one checker station open. This was at 9:30 in the morning. On another visit there was no coffee. Can't believe it. The store never has enough checkers. I love the food and atmosphere but the services is very poor. It seems they are consistently under staffed. If you go in there make sure you have a lot of time. read more

Service was fine but the food was terrible. Sandwich bread should have been nice and crispy instead of mush. It was completely flavorless. Like eating limp styrofoam. Will not return. read more

Always busy. Sandwiches are pretty good. Egg Souffles are the best. Now that they are in the new building it is much much better. Service tends to be a little unfriendly sometimes. read more

Dependable as the sunrise, Panera is a go-to when it's pouring outside. While the food is good, the service at this location can best be described as...distracted. After paying, all drinks and bakery items had to be returned for and reminded. For all four of us. Yes, it was busy. But not "Sunday-morning-gimme-my-bagel-and-my-coffee" busy. read more

Use to love their scones, lately about half the size they use to be and now more money!

Food poisoning from Ceasar chicken salad last night...OMG miserable. Ewwwwwwwwwww can't sleep up all night...sick in the bathroom

Bad services, fricking bread was hard as a rock, really!.. no enough dressing for my salad, drove almost 10 minutes, lettuce was already brown. BAD EXPERIENCE read more

Love Vero's Panera Bread Restaurant. However ,the intense clasical music played there is enough to ruin one's experience. Just for the record, I am 63 years old. Can they at least switch and vary the genre. read more

Terrible service!! I kept giving them a try but after 2 years and 8 orders being wrong, I have to say it's the worst panara's I have ever been to. Awful managers that don't care about customer service. I would never write a bad review but someone has to tell the truth;) Don't waste your money or time!! Support your amazing local deli's instead!! read more

For me this restaurant always delivers good quality healthy food at a reasonable price.

Recently ordered take out for dinner. The chicken Panini and turkey Panini were delicious. Very fresh and had gourmet quality even though it is an ingredient short of being a home sandwich. I enjoyed the spices on them. Also had the cheesy broccoli soup. It was okay. I tasted more cheese than broccoli. Could use some better seasoning. The chocolate chip muffin was a little dry but chocolatey enough. The low fat strawberry smoothie was a little weird. It had the taste of being spoiled or rotten but I figured it was because they had a lot of low fat stuff in it. Overall, i really enjoyed it. It was fairly priced for the amount of food I got. read more

Love the soup and salad combo. Hard to pass up the delicious looking pastries. Lunch time is not the best time to go especially with so many people taking up tables just for WiFi service. Some restrictions should be made to accommodate everyone. Other than that I love coming here. read more

I had ordered my lunch at 2:20 PM and was told that it would take approximately 30 minutes to receive it. My lunch got here at 3:47 PM and was the wrong order. I had ordered a bread bowl and soup, to which they only gave me a cup of cold soup and a bag of chips??! So, knowing that accidents happen all the time, I called to speak with the manager to try and sort it out only for her to put me on hold for almost an hour. When she got on the phone, she replied "I didn't know you were on hold" because her employee failed to tell her I was waiting to speak with her. Needless to say, I got my money back but I will NEVER give them my business ever again. This was the second time I had tried to order for them only for them to fail. I hope this new Panera kicks them out of the water. read more

I rarely if ever post a review, but my Saturday morning experience today was so bad I must share. First, the bathroom was not clean and lacked attention. Second, the food delivery from the kitchen was slow, unorganized and under staffed. Third, the breakfast bagel sandwich was burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, and not eatable. Finally, no manager in sight to police the unkept general conditions including sticky dirty tables. This former regular was very disappointed, and won't be back any time soon. read more

I always get good food and good service. The cashiers are young, but friendly. It is weird how they always buzz you before your meal is ready. The macaroni and cheese is amazing and the egg soufflé is to die for. read more

Just ordered delivery and they forgot half the order including a fork so I could not eat my salad. Called to see if they could deliver the remaining items they forgot and they acted like it was an inconvenience. One of the items they were out of and so they just didn't include it rather than calling to see if we wanted to substitute. Napkins would also be nice to include. Sitting here for 30 minutes and still waiting for the delivery guy to return. Don't waste your time ordering delivery from this location!!! Get it together Panera! read more

This Panera is doing it right. Always clean, always consistent, always pleasant. Able to manage very busy times with a smile and no impact on food quality. Thank you to management for training employees properly and running a great location. read more

Panera is a fantastic place for a quick bite or casual lunch. The food is always good. They are busy all the time, so sometimes seating is a problem. I noticed this week there was an awning added outside over the seating aea. What a great solution to the crowding. No one wants to purchase their meal and then have to go sit in the hot sun (or rain!) because the inside seating is full. Seating, to me is their only problem. I have always found the staff to be very cordial and helpful. Management is quick to step in if necessary. Yea! on the awning!! I hope the future for Panera Vero Beach is to add another store on the west side of town. If it is managed as well as the one in town, it will be an assured hit. read more

I had the broccoli and cheddar soup with iced green tea and it was really good. The staff was relatively friendly and I got my food in a timely manner. I would go again. I wasn't going going to write a review but they were busy and most people seemed pleased with the food and I feel like the negative reviews on here are just a vocal minority. read more

Food is ok, but not with the crappy customer service especially after the sale. If you want something, like a pastry you paid for, after your meal - you can pretty much forget it unless you stand in some obnoxious line. Tonight even had one of the servers in a purple shirt see us standing there, make a bagel for someone package up 2 cookies and Chase down the kid they went to and proceeded to come back and pick up a broom and start sweeping instead of asking if she could help us. Extremely dissatisfied and don't plan on returning. Vero Beach read more

I come into this Panera frequently to get an iced coffee, and occasionally a pastry, before heading to the office. For about a week and a half, they have been out of iced coffee every single time (no exaggeration). If they are out, obviously someone is drinking it (especially if it is out by 8am) but none of the employees are trained to check. This morning, it was out again, and I informed the employees and then waited...for 20 minutes. One of the employees then informed me that they hadn't made any backup iced coffee (in Florida, in the middle of July, when they are always out...) and that my only choice would be to put a little extra ice in the newly made "iced" coffee that comes out of the machine hot. This is simply poor management trickling down to the poorly trained employees. If you cannot keep coffee made, why even bother? Two days ago, I got a you-pick-two with a steak and arugula sandwich, and the sandwich was about the size of a golf ball and terribly put together ($5.85 for the sandwich portion of the you-pick-two). This Panera is very conveniently located and is always busy and has a loyal following of retired persons from the area, BUT what is the point in patronizing a business if the service is so poor that you pay for a product, you're told that they're out of that product, and leave having paid but never getting what you paid for? Train your staff or hire better managers. If you read the other more recent reviews of this Panera, you can see that this is not a new problem and I am not alone in my sentiments... read more

Really bad cashier. Got the order wrong. Got the prices wrong. Didn't charge us for one thing, over charged us for another, we didn't get what we ordered. Gave up, took what they gave us, paid what they said. Never going back. Cashier beside us waited on 5 customers while we struggled with our cashier. She blamed it on the computer. Manager came over, time when bye, food was ready but cashier wasn't. Computer fault, Yeah right. BAD employees put good companys out of business. read more

I ordered the Vegan Quinoa Bowl for $8.79, and it was the size of a half a bowl of soup. My husband ordered a pick 2 lunch and his half bowl of soup was the same size as my entire lunch. Prices outrageous for such tiny portions. The meal also was very low on substance as it was mostly broth. Not coming back here. read more

This store has really gone downhill in the past year. They're cutting corners by reducing the pecans AND the topping on the buns. The nice classical style music is gone, too. Maybe it's a new owner, and they need to cut the overhead? Too bad - they used to be very good! read more

Although the food quality is the same as all other Panera Bread's (which is fairly good), the service at this location is less than satisfactory. The staff was arguing openly at the counter in front of guests about their shifts and forgot half of my order because "they were distracted". Even though they weren't busy, two of the coffees were empty and there was no milk out. One girl was rude and even rolled her eyes at an older man as he was having issues with the credit card machine. It was a pretty uncomfortable visit. read more

If this was the first time this happened I wouldn't bother but it seems every time I get the tuna salad to go there is no tuna and what is there is a big solid hunk that turns me off! For $6.00 you ought to be able to find the tuna, I'm starting to think they do this on to go orders figuring you aren't going to return with it! From now on I guess I will open it and look at it before I leave! read more

Reasons why I like Panera: 1. It's a great alternative to burgers and fries. 2. It relatively quiet. 3. I love the salads! Especially the Ancient Grain Arugula and Chicken Salad. Consisting of arugula, coleslaw mix, red grapes, fuji apple slices, and white balsamic dressing. The Ingredents offer a nice contrast of flavors and textures that go well with each other. The bread is decent too. Not super gourmet but definitely not cheap wonder bread like. The soups are very good as well. I had the baked potato soup. It was good. I wish they did a creamy seafood bisque for these colder months if the cold weather ever makes it down to Florida. Thanks El Niño! Want something different? Go to Panera and try this salad! read more
