Don't waste your time here
February 1, 2023

We had VERY poor service! Only thing good was the food! The person that took the order obviously had a problem that she had to ring us up because we had cash and we interrupted the time she had to talk to her co-worker. She had a horrible attitude! No smile not even a fake one. No thank you! I don't think I've we have ever went out and got treated this bad. There was no ice for drinks and we had to find that out for ourselves after we paid. Even the cuts in the bread bowls were poorly done where one was spilling out the side before he could even start eating it.

Tasty Food!
February 1, 2023

The onion soup is great!
The tuna salad sandwich lacks one thing, tuna!
A lot of bread but very minimal tuna

Your tv ads and in store ads for your Pepperoni and Mozzarella Melt look nothing like the sad item I just received. Cold pepperoni, three small chunks of mozzarella and almost no sauce. At lunchtime, this store was empty and now I know why. Sad, Panera, you used to be quite good. McDonalds is looking good at present.

When did processed food become clean food. They serve lunch meats and cheeses, it's processed food and not clean food. They falsely advertise their food as clean. Only salads come close to being clean but they come with cheese. Clean food is clean when it's not processed in any way. False advertising

Panera service is getting worse and its always dirty. We were in the week before Christmas and the food was not as it normally is. Soup was watered down and luke warm and the new Chicken sandwich was cold. Normally we have no complaints on the food only the service and bad conditions of the floors tables and chairs. At our last visit there weren't many employees but normally there are several just standing around instead of cleaning tables, etc. I have never seen anyone cleaning a table and have never been there where I could find a clean table. I bring Clorox wipes knowing I'll have a dirty table to clean. You charge enough for your menu items for customers to expect a clean environment to eat at.
You have some really good food options, but I no longer enjoy eating there due the lack of cleaning. We choose not to purchase gift cards this year for those reasons. You would think COVID would have taught businesses something.
The cleanliness issue you is not only at this location. It seems to be the same at all the others we been at.

Placing an order
December 28, 2022

We just placed a take out order at the College Ave Panera and when we went to go pick it up the person behind the counter says we cancelled it because we are short staffed and it was to big. We placed it an hour ago and no one called or texted or emailed. I truly am out of words to explain how I feel but very unprofessional. Don't know how you can keep your doors open if you are that rude.

Worst sandwich ever
December 26, 2022

See photo
My actual sandwich is the size of dollar coin
I refuse to eat a sandwich like this. If this is the way you treat valued customers. I will not be returning to Panera Bread. I was so hungry
Not for a hunk of bread that I paid $9 for.
SO DISSAPOINTED.

BRAVO
December 24, 2022

I ordered the Bacon turkey lettuce tomato bravo sandwich
The bread was slightly sweet and thick
The meal also came with a large chocolate chip cookie and baked potato chips

FRESH AND DELICIOUS

This USED to be such a great place to eat. I can't find 1 positive thing to say. No selection in sandwiches- if u don't like chicken u'r out of luck.2 choices of salads small and large- they should say "snack size" and large. Small is the size of "pick 2" category. I got a handful of brown wilted lettuce 4 pieces of " compressed chicken" and the smallest container made in restaurant supplies of Caesar dressing for $8.33! My coworkers couldn't believe the salad when I showed it to them. What a rip. I know it's inflationary times, but it's also gauging times for some places. Now I know why I was the only one on line during lunchtime. I will be joining the missing. Au revoir Panera!

Forgetting to Put the Side in My Bag
December 15, 2022

I ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 tomato soup bowls. I have a whole soup left because they don't put any of the bread for each item in my bag! My child likes to eat the bread and dip it in her soup. I'm sick of them!

December 14, 2022

The soup was half full and at $8.29 a real rip off. Also it was watered down. The chicken sandwich was burnt, greasy and cold. Wrong item given, never ordered the hot pepper one rather the classic. Overall, horrible food at the Massapequa New York location.

Delivery was 30 minutes late and the food was in poor quality when it finally arrived! The croissants were soggy from tuna salad which wouldnt have been an issue had it been on time. The breakfast sandwich from yesterday's order was cold and I thought I'd give them another chance. Don't waste your money with Panera!

You Suck
December 12, 2022

Panera keeps taking a nose dive. The quality of their food has gone from 100 to 0. Their customer service sucks. They consistently engage in marketing manipulation tactics in order to control their customers, by removing popular items from their menu. This is because their vendors convince them to buy new items, and they remove other items from their menu in order to force their customers to try the new ones.

Look at all the wonderful dishes they have removed, and refuse to bring back. And every time you ask them, they play stupid and change the subject.

Potato soup. Cuban sandwich. Cinnamon coffee cake. Tomato mozzarella salad. To name just a few.

I for one will not allow myself to be manipulated or controlled, or told what I can or cannot order. As long as Panera wants to ay their games and manipulate customers, I will not be going there.

20 years ago this place was the bomb. Lines out the door. Food was amazing. Now they need to shut down for good. They will not be missed.

Amount of food served
December 9, 2022

I ordered a Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli Bowl to go. The advertised picture showed a bowl that was full. The order that I picked up and brought home to eat was a bowl that might have been 1/2 full. This was $13.00 plus tax and a 20% tip. NEVER AGAIN! You can only skin a sheep once.
