Panera Bread

Great location! I love the food and the vibe. It’s a little pricy but it’s worth the experience.

Sausage Asiago breakfast sandwich is amazing!
I add bacon n extra sauce
The staff is always friendly

My daughter and I went here for lunch today and had a horrible experience. The cashier completely confused me with the menu options and combined both of our meals as one. My daughter’s mac and cheese was literally two mouthfuls. We waited 20 minutes to pick up our food just to find out they didn’t have any left of what I ordered. Plus I got bread instead of an apple. We don’t go out to eat very often and this was a disappointing experience.

Not the best place for those with mobility challenges

Pros:
- large dining area with a wide range of seating types
- option to sit outside in private and heated area
- location is close to many other stores and downtown
- large windows with shades so it's bright yet shaded
- drink area so you can mix your own drink
- Wide range of bakery items

Cons
- accessible buttons are not easily accessible to the entrance
- bathroom is stalled and not enough space for full size wheelchairs (also DOES NOT have an accessible button to open the door)
- prices are expensive compared to what is also nearby
- tables are not wiped down or cleared frequently so I had to do it myself
- no one is walking around pricing service

Next time going to Freshii

Portions were smaller than I was expecting for the $, and the lemonade was very sweet. The first sip or two was good but it was quickly overwhelming. My buddy's food looked and smelt good, regretted what I had ordered. Will definitely give it a second chance.

Though the food may be good the coffee is -at best- very ordinary
And mostly quite cold from the dispenser.
On our last visit I asked for decaffeinated coffee. It was freshly
Brewed but tasted awful. Left the whole cup.
No problem with the service, it was friendly and efficient.

Over priced Garbage, 1st time going in decided on the pepperoni an mozzarella melt, I literally got 14 tiny pieces of pepperoni and the bread so so dense, Alot of chewing, Not Satisfying at all

I've been going to this location since it opened. At first the portions were a good size but lately you get such a small amount but pay and arm and a leg for it. If I order a bowl of food, I except it to be filled to the brim, not 50% filled up. What a joke.

The way my food taste rn is Divine simply Divine, you really have outdone yourselves AGAIN panera, I was debating this or McDonald’s and I’m so glad I spent the $50 on panera. Thank you so much for yummy in tummy xoxo gossip girl

I had a great time during my last visit to this location. FYI, they do have a drive-through. Foods were warm and taste great. Service was really, really quick. This is probably due to the start of lunch hour and less busy.nonetheless I appreciate the promptness. All the items that I ordered were really good and we all enjoyed them. What can be improved, greetings and smiles were missing at the front desk. The menu board looks dull and lackluster. The digital board with images would be a great addition. Overall, we were very happy.

They will forget to give you your side and won’t answer the phone when you call them about it. Too expensive of a restaurant to be forgetting items. Get it together

Theire food is very delicious and fresh but expensive - you get what you pay for here. The salads and sandwiches are great, and I highly recommend their brownie if you want something sweet. My only complaint is that it's pretty slow at lunch, regardless of if it's a weekday or weekend. It makes it hard to come here on my lunch break. Otherwise this is a great location with great staff.

Clean, friendly staff, had lunch 1/2 salad 1/2 sandwich. Small portion of lettuce in salad was soggy. Sandwich was great

Customer Service 101.acknowledge customers in your store.

I went to pickup an order and was ignored by several employees including a gentleman working at the cash without looking up once despite me standing in front of him. Eventually someone handed over my order.

They were super busy and understaffed and the whipped up my lunch in no time! Karma (staff member) was so sweet she even added a dash of cheese on my soup because I wasn't able to have croutons due to dietary restrictions. Amazing food and amazing team working together to send it out to customers!

Good coffee and dessert but was somewhat disappointed they only have almond milk as a plant based option and no green tea

Been going to this location for 7+ years and I love it. EVERYTHING on the menu tastes amazing and the employees are super courteous and friendly.

So I love the food here. Ive been a loyal customer. However today they forgot an entire meal in my order which was not discovered until getting home. I made the trek back brought my bag in showed the receipt and they went and got my missing meal. I’m a little upset that I had to return on todays gas prices. Because I ordered a bread bowl they gave me a small macaroni for it, I questioned how small the amount was and she said that was their way. If you order a bread bowl u get a small. I think it would have been nice for them to give the larger portion for my inconvenience but she did not seem interested in customer service. I’m a little put off of them now. It’s not about expecting something for free it’s about good customer service. I already wasted my time one going back and forth from Oshawa to Courtice.

The food options and quality were as expected. It's always nice to see their interesting seasonal menu additions. Service was good with quick checkout and good prep time. It would be good to have outdoor seating ready for guests and there was no sanitizer at checkout or pickup counter.

They are slow like a sloth just odered pastries took them 20 minutes to serve me or for my order to be ready. Nothing needed to be prepared just grab pastries from shelves and serve me.

This review is based on my most recent visit to Panera Bread which happens to be my first in almost three years.

We were quickly greeted as we entered which is always nice. I find the menu pretty easy to read which helps because there are a lot of options.

I have always been fond of the pick 2 which I'm glad was still present.

I always know I'm going to be selecting some kind of soup and get it in that delicious sourdough bread bowl. This visit I went with the Mexican corn chowder.

I also chose mac n cheese. My girlfriend ordered the broccoli cheddar soup in the edible bowl and a sandwich. We ordered for dine in and were given a little buzzer which would let us know when the food was served.

Maybe 10 minutes later the buzzer went off and I went to collect the food. The most interesting thing was that our food was packaged up for take away rather than for dine in which I thought was bizarre. Everything was individually wrapped and sealed up. At our booth we had to open everything and basically serve it ourselves.

My girlfriend went up to them and asked them for plates and cutlery as that is what we were used to being served on. She was informed that at this time they don't do that and will be starting that soon. Strange.

With that small issue aside everything was great. The bread is so fresh and tasty. The soups were great. The sandwich had a great flavour. Mac n cheese was perhaps the best I have had at a fast food restaurant in a very long time.

Overall a pretty solid experience with a small blemish being that we were expecting to be served on plates and given proper cutlery. Maybe the next time.

I feel this is extremely overpriced for the portion sizes that we got. Also, I was very disappointed that the straws were made of plastic and the cutlery as well. To me I always thought healthy food went hand and hand with healthy environment but not in this case. The food was pretty good otherwise.

I had lunch with my daughters, they did not like the food as it was not good enough for them, the ambiance of restaurant is comfy, a bit pricy as well, I would not recommend.

Outstanding service. Picked up my takeout order a few minutes early. Brought it out to the van. Put my smoothie on the roof so I could unlock the van. Put my order in the van and got in. Before I closed the door I heard “Sir, sir. ” I looked towards the store and an employee said, “Your drink is on the roof. ” Love them all.

Overpriced and the taste is nothing special. Get subway, at least you know its garbage, but not overpriced.

Busy over the weekends. Don’t expect a great selection of bagels after noon as they are sold out. Place is clean with friendly staff.

Went there for lunch. Found the food a bit overpriced for a sandwich/bakery shop, especially when you have to line up, order & pay right away. Probably won't go back.

Absolutley loved the tomato soup. Had a late night job is oshawa and was surprised to see this story about here. It has a great view of the main street also.
