Panera Bread

In the past, I used to frequent Panera bread with my girlfriends in high school. I loved the bread bowl with soup. It was so delicious. Recently I started to go to Panera bread near my home due to the limited time promotion "spend $5 get a half sandwich".For the month, I have been going to get an array of sandwiches and soups. The cheddar broccoli soup is my favorite. It always has been my favorite. The French onion soup is tasty, but needs some improvement. I do not like the croutons and they should have melted the cheese over the top of the French onion soup.The Ciabatta Cheesesteak is pretty darn good. I was enjoying the ciabatta. Added a nice flavor to what a traditional cheesesteak would taste like. The Toasted Italiano is delicious, especially if it's dunked into a soup of your choice. I really like how it tasted with the cheddar broccoli soup. The Bacon Turkey Bravo is also really good with the cheddar broccoli soup. The bacon mac & cheese was actually pretty good. I love how tasty all of their sandwiches are.The Panera bread in Aurora is very clean. I really like one of the employees there, his name is Johnny and he is such a sweetheart. I also like the amount of light that enters the restaurant. They have really good lemonade, I am a lemonade fanatic. I also like to work on my computer there so I can get things done. I truly enjoy Panera bread and forgot how much I liked it.

I've actually had better subs for there price is high and all though there broccoli and cheese soup is excellent

Soup could have been hotter. Fair price when getting $2 off by being a sip club member.

I went into your restaurant today and ordered your chicken and Bacon sandwich. The chicken and bacon were in little tiny pieces and basically fell out of the sandwich. I was extremely disappointed.

This review so far is for the store Customer service and wide menu options. If it was for their web or app, it would be likely 1 or at best 2 stars, but this is a hip hip hooray for humans. I tried to place a delivery order on their website. It didn't go through. Then I tried a pick-up order through their app. No luck there either. So I finally called the store, their general customer service, the credit card...to no avail. Logan, store manager, ended up taking my order over the phone. I really enjoy Panera food and really love all of their food and drink options. I especially love their egg souffles but will see how their sandwiches and salads are, in a couple of days.Additional information. The order did not end up being that great. It wasn't ready on time and whomever put the order together set up the drinks in a weird way where one drink was not in the bag with the others. So of course it ended up messing that bag up in general and one of the bubly lime drinks ended up only 3/4 full (also I thought these 2 were supposed to be cans?). I believe we were one short of our flip flop cookies. And finally, the killer was that only one sandwich was labeled. That was absolutely awful due to now folks had to get a mystery sandwich until they opened it. Thank goodness the salads were in see through containers we could see which salad it was (but still no labels).I also did not get receipts for the entire order so I will be calling them tomorrow to talk to them about the above items and hopefully be able to get the missing receipts.

This place just had some renovations and it looks real nice inside. The food... is so expensive for nothing spectacular. I really don't understand it. The staff here are always friendly whenever we have stopped in. That's all I can really say.

I will start by saying I am surprised to be giving this rate review for Panera. I have always had a very high opinion of the food I have eaten there. But, that was before I ate the BLT. Everything was exactly as described on the menu. The problem was they described the bacon as just that. They did not include the fact that it was the pre-cooked, thin and unappetizing version. In my opinion, if that I the only bacon you have you don't really have bacon. And, then you put out a sandwich not worthy of the Panera name. I understand you don't have the kind of resources at Panera to fry up bacon. That just means you don't have it on the menu. No one will notice because of all the other wonderful sandwiches you have!

This place is absolutely awful. I will never return after my experience today. The food was of a mediocre quality but and appetizing enough to finish. What's worse is that I ordered 12 small cookies and got 2-3 large cookies cut into triangular pieces. If you're out of a menu item, just don't offer it. Providing a mangled item in lieu of what I ordered is ridiculous and unacceptable.

I am saddened to see that I paid $16 for the sandwich and I couldn't even get a good size portion of meat. I always order from you guys have never had this experience not to mention you also left off my onions. Not impressed with the level of service received.Picture of full size Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT with very little meat. They also left off my onions which I then cut some of my own and added them to the sandwich.

Went with my daughter for lunch. Had you pick two sandwich and mac & cheese andstrawberry poppyseed dressing salad and ordered chicken and wild rice soup. They were out of that for the second time. The bagette was 2" long. The salad was half the size it's been, the sandwich was 3 1/2" long, the mac &cheese was only 1/2 the cup, the pomegranate tea was kept at the fromt instead of with the meal. All this for $43 for lunch. Neither of us will be going back again. What a shame. I've been going to Panera's for 20 years.
