Place is good for lunch as it is never crowded. Soup and salad combos have dramatically increased in price and it's becoming unaffordable to choose Panera as a go to spot now. read more

On a cold rainy day, enjoyed a late breakfast at Panera Bread! Loved the new Crème Brûlée Latte and cheese soufflé near the fire place! Appreciate the Cashier letting me know I had rewards to use with this purchase! read more

Here with my grandson cashiers very nice, manger gave me bad issues in the morning today.

As a frequent customer, it's getting more difficult to make decision to return. Seriously $12.99 for turkey sandwich with 2 pieces of meat and 1 cheese? $4.00 for fountain drink? This is beyond acceptable. I can go across to Jersey mikes and get so much more read more

Panera Bread - Turkey and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Woodbridge, New Jersey

If i could leave no stars i would tracy the team manager and the cashier that took my order absolutely horrible customer service. Picture this... you walk into this panera stomach growling after a 14 hour day and u just want some soup and a bread bowl to relieve your hunger with your fiancée... and you drop a 60 dollar order and the ignorant cashier decides that the customers who ordered behind you deserve the last two bread bowls since they knew the customers after us and we are strangers.... Onto of that had a whole 10 minute convo while we waited to order our meals.. then proceeds to tell the crew working that the bread bowls are for the people after you and to tell you that they are sold out when you specifically got the bread bowls since you we both saw two of them left over..... poor management by tracy allowing her cashier to treat customers that way instead of stepping in and doing the right thing.. This could be you or your family if you arent known by the employees so be ware you might lose your meal and your money. read more

I've been coming to this Panera location for years and have always enjoyed the food and service. Today that didn't have any chips during my visit which is a first, but I guess this could happen at any location so I'm not gonna ding them after going here for so many years and this being the first potential "issue" I've ever encountered here. No real complaints o, which is a good thing and would totally recommend this location to others. read more

I come to this Panera location often. They were one of the first in the area to be set up with the self ordering kiosks and speedy pick up. My order always comes out correct and quickly no matter what time of the day. They seem to have a really great system here and I've never had an issue. There is also ample seating options, but it does fill up quickly on the weekend as this is part of a busy shopping plaza. The employees are always very friendly and it is well maintained. This is definitely my favorite Panera location. 5/5 read more

Cross pointe Mall, Woodbridge NJ First, I'll give it props, clean, very clean. However, I use the app as soon as I use the app I get a coupon for free delivery. If I use it drumroll .....by the same day that I'm ordering the food. I'm already in front of the place, wasted incentive. I'm still In one store and place my rapid order through the Panera app, at 5:03 pm I had ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and a roast beef sandwich, toasted. When it told me it would be ready at 5:15 pm. The track bar also turn green, I went into the site and I saw bags on the counter and people standing around looking miffed!!! I noticed my name and picked up my order! That where my excitement stops!!! Returned home...Opened my Caesar salad went to toss it around 2 things, no Caesar dressing and I was tossing medium chunks of the husk from iceberg lettuce!!!! I removed enough pieces that I could have another salad, now I will eat an end or two or three but not the entire bottom of my salad. The chicken was a thinly slice small half of a breast... okay I could deal with that. I used my own dressing and ate what was left after removal of husks (see picture). Still hungry I went for my sandwich, roast beef toasted, their sauce. White cheddar cheese, and I like cucumbers. I got diced cucumbers, dried roast beef, qtr size spot of their sauce and NO white cheddar cheese ! I spent $25 on this meal... I also got a free dessert I picked the pumpkin muffin, that was the best thing out the bunch! I'll go again for dessert but nothing else!!! This is my first time to Panera. I always order delivery or pick up to new places I patron because I want to see if they treat their customers not seen the same as the customers that are there spending the same money and as you can see, they don't treat them the same food and quality was poor. read more

Although Panera Bread can be pricey, its supposed to be healthy foods all around. This location is situated in a shopping strip mall near Wegman's and Lowes. They have good amount of parking spaces and retail space is a corner storefront. Two ways you can place your order. One is the cashier and the other is the kiosk. We usually prefer to order at the kiosk because you can take your time with your order and customize the way you want it. They have soups, salads, sandwiches, flat breads, and desserts. I usually order the pick two in which you select and salad, soup, or sandwich combo. The BBQ flat bread and the Cobb salad is my choice. Once you place the order, it doesn't take that long at this location which is a plus. They have a drink re-fill station and their signature drinks ready to be self served. The few times we went they are usually friendly and the place is clean and organized. This is what we expect from Panera Bread. However, I can not say the same for the in the mall locations. Overall, this is a good place to enjoy a healthy meal without worrying about the tipping afterwards. Its pricier than other fast food locations and we consider this semi fast causal. read more

It's located in a strip shopping area with plenty of parking spaces. For whatever reason, there's a Panera Bread in the Menlo Mall and a stand alone outside of its mall. This location is about 5 minutes away. There's definitely other locations nearby as well on route 1. I decided to come to this location because I didn't want hassle with parking. I like ordering through the kiosk as I get to review the menu up close and don't feel rushed by the cashier on placing an order. Yes, you can customized your sandwiches and salads, etc. Or, order the way it is presented in its regular menu. All orders comes with a side choice (dinner roll, French baguette, cookie, apples, etc). You have the option to order a full salad or sandwich or soup or you can do the pick two. I chose the pick two and had southwest chicken salad and the napa almond chicken salad on white bread. It was delicious and portion size is very decent. My son was also happy with his pick two order of chicken Cobb salad and BBQ chicken on flatbread. There's several options for kids meal and my daughter chose her fav which is Mac and cheese. I do have to ding one star for the small (literally one scoop size) Mac and cheese. The kids meal also come with a side and thankfully, I ordered dinner roll so the carbs from the bread filled her up halfway. read more

As much as I like Panera Bread, this location needs a few things to be like the others. It has potential, and I can't throw anybody under the bus. However, below is my list. 1. No napkins in the restaurant (???). Go to Wegmans or something if it is a supply chain issue. 2. The subscription program only works well if there is coffee or cups or creamer or ... 3. The wait can be upwards of 20 mins (ugh). 4. For some staff, this job may not be for them. *On a positive note, the restaurant seems clean and cozy. This is all in consideration of other nearby Panera bread restaurants that have handled these situations much better. Let's go Woodbridge. I have faith in you. read more

Panera used to be very good, but recent changes in their menu have drastically changed that. Many items have been removed, and there's a significant decrease in the quality of the remaining items. I tried their new BLT; there was exactly ONE slice of bacon, and one paper-thin slice of tomato! All I could taste was bread, and it was stale. My husband's chicken sandwich was just a few shreds of pulled chicken, and also on stale, tasteless bread. Obviously, there's a massive cost-cutting movement at Panera, but alienating customers won't help their business! read more

Nice job from the staff.. they noticed that the initial order for my fiancé was made as a half salad, not a whole- and they fixed it without me even mentioning it! That says something about integrity. She had the strawberry poppy salad and it was enjoyable. We'll visit again just because of that~ read more

I've ordered from this location many times but today, for the first time, I found a hair in my sandwich. I've been noticing that their workers typically don't wear hair nets while handling and preparing orders. That's a big no-no in my opinion. read more

Food is decent, shouldn't complain too much If I'm willingly coming here to get a meal. But way overpriced. Ambiance - not what is used to be - just has a strange vibe. Service - workers are friendly and funny - nice to have fun while working - especially if your in high school and this is your part-time job. Women's bathrooms and other areas on the restaurant are not clean compared to over a year ago - they need to work on that better. read more

Worse customer service ever! Beyond slow. Ordering ahead on the app makes no sense as you still have to wait. I gave them a 2nd chance by ordering freaking coffee. Followed the directions on the app waited 10 minutes after the pick up time only to be asked... are you waiting (I wanted to say no.. I just freaking hanging out in Panera waiting for my next big movie break WTfreak), I said calmly... coffee, I ordered it on the app, she said... oh you get it yourself, it's at the counter. The app doesnt say that I replied. Then another person appeared in a different shirt, wrinkled, and started going back and forth about an honor system. It was clear I was frustrated. I simply said... how are you going to make my wait right? She said she couldn't do anything for me. I dont look for freebies but good customer care is hard to find. I called their customer service and they did the right thing. It wasnt much, but it was the principle. I went back and the counter staff were dancing around acting silly..I spoke to a Fake Manager and explained the situation...I knew she was not the manager after my 1st sentence to her. I will never go back to this 1st grade managed spot. read more

First visit to this particular location... stopped by after dinner on a Friday night for coffee and s treat. We arrived at 9:30 and they close at 10:00. We ordered 2 coffees and a bear claw. We paid and were given the coffee cups but then realized the self serve coffee urn was empty. After asking the cashier about the coffee she had a quick chat with another employee and let us know she would make more and it would take 5 minutes. So we took a seat and waited... after a while she let us know the coffee was done. We served ourselves some coffee but it was very weak and there were grounds in it... maybe it was a second brew? Also the milk and creamer had also been put away so we had to request that as well from the counter.... On the plus side my bear claw was tasty... maybe they should wait a little longer before putting things away for the evening or be clear before taking orders what they have available to offer... read more

I just about had it with this location. I made a rapid pick up order for a sandwich before heading to work. Lunchtime comes and I absolutely disgusting with how my sandwich was prepared. It was supposed to be a half frontega chicken panini with avocado, pickled onions, and arugula. What I really got was the bread, avocado, tomatoes and pickled onions. By the way, it was the discarded pieces of tomato that was used. Errors like this happens quite often at the Woodbridge location. The manager was willing to work with me but with a 30 min lunch almost over, it wouldn't make sense to head over or have it the correct way. And since this happens all the time with myself and my coworkers I'll order some Chinese for lunch instead. read more

Panera is very consistent and satisfying. You can see great service is their priority. I have never had a bad experience. Their food is fresh and they have a creative menu. You could always have your favorite or change it up. I love the convenience of ordering online and it waiting for you when you arrive. Or they ordering stations, makes it so easy and you can skip the lines. They also provide the points system. I sound like a commercial, but it's a must try if you haven't yet. I ordered the corn chowder bowl of soup, in a very nice bowl and steak with white cheddar combo. It was Amazing !!! Can't wait to come back !! read more

Had lunch here the other day with my wife. We love the consistency Panera offers, and the food items are always predictably delicious. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait ..but it's always worth waiting for good food. We are big fans of the squash soup...highly recommend read more

Portions are not the same. I order the Mac & cheese dinner for my kids and they put it in a smaller bowl than the normal medium size bowl I get at every other Panera. The salads are a mess not thoroughly tossed, it had a lot less cranberries and almonds than other Panera's I've been. The only thing good about this location is the atmosphere is pretty good. quiet compare to the one at Menlo Park where there's a ton of traffic and cars hissing by. Need more workers here, the food is taking forever. read more

I went In with my daughter and ordered food for 2 and We requested for bread but they placed chips. Soup served was half cup When enquired about soup and Bread. The girl replied that they don't have Bread so she gave us chips ( with out informing us she decided what we should eat) when asked About the soup she said we don't have any more soup left. When i took this matter to the Head office they mentioned that some one will get back to me but i never heard back. I'll not go back to this place again and I don't recommend. read more

Used to love coming for breakfast but the last few times things have been a little disappointing. Once the sandwich was actually kind of wet! The second time it was cold. Still a convenient place to meet and hang out but not for good food. read more

Panera needs to hire more competent employees who can read. Multiple times I have ordered and put in the special instructions to change the bread because I am allergic to the bread originally on the sandwich. Almost EVERY time there is a problem with my order and I'm sick of it. Last time ordering from this Panera until they find employees who can actually do their job. read more

This place is so convenient for the area, though it can be extremely busy at times because of the shared parking with other stores in the plaza. I've been coming here for the last 5 year or so and they are always very pleasant. The food is always fresh and made to order. My usual is the power breakfast sandwich and the frozen mocha. Later in the day I really enjoy the swiss with ham on rye with either soup (the half & half special) or a salad. Only thing I will say is that the salads generally are smothered in the dressing, which if you're someone who enjoys that then it'll be fine. But if you're more like me, lighter side of dressing its irksome and I end up never finishing the whole portion. Overall I enjoy coming here to go over school work, especially on rainy days. During the nice weather you can sit outside at the small patio tables to sit at and people watch. read more

wonderful broccoli cheddar soup and bread was good too , props to them gave me 2 pieces of bread when i only ordered one but i ordered two soups so it was very thoughtful love you guys read more

Good staff. Quick with orders and can slice a long line of customers in half like a samurai.

Very rude, looks like they have new management. Not as customer friendly at all compared to couple of years ago.

Despite what some of these negative reviews have to say, I think this panera is fantastic. I order from here up to 4 times per week and I'm never disappointed. If anything has ever been forgotten I've had the missing item brought back and baked good for my trouble. The staff is super kind and always smiling. (I can't stand people who come on here to complain about how they didn't check the food and got home for there to something wrong. Grow up and check your own food.) I love this panera nuff said read more

It gets one star because the soup was hot, otherwise I would give it zero stars! What a poor excuse for a grilled cheese: some shredded cheese that wasn't even melted, some sliced cherry tomatoes and some flavorless bacon. None of it ever came in contact with a grill! So disappointing to say the least! Could easily be the worst meal I have ever had! read more
