Panera Bread

Stopped by the new Panera in Bonney Lake, and it already feels like a strong addition to the area. The interior is spotless, bright, and exactly what you’d hope for from a brand-new location. It’s in a busy part of town, so parking can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. The line moved a little slowly during my visit, but that’s expected as the team settles in. Once inside, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the food quality is consistent with what Panera usually delivers. Has the convenience of a drive thru option. Also has EV charging and parking available. Overall, a clean and convenient spot that fits well into the neighborhood. Efficient: Yes First-Time Friendliness: Yes Would I Return: Yes JY review

I dropped they are now open. I happen to be at this new location during their soft opening. I ordered a pick 2 of each dipper sandwiches. They were prepared quickly and tasted great. I was going to have them to go, but changed my mind to sit in the pleasant atmosphere. I like the higher round tables. The best part, I enjoyed their new coffee machines that prepares right in front of you and the touch menu was easy to use.

This is the second time I've ate here and it's the second time my sandwich had very little meat. Chili was really good. Cost $70 for 4 of us to eat. Shouldn't be skimping on meat with those prices.

1/28/26 ordered Tomato Basil BLT at drive-thru 1:22pm only few cars in line. Bacon in sandwhich was not cooked. Different type of bread toasted would have been better. When I got home cooked bacon in air fryer and toasted bread. Weight for order was 30 minutes. No senior discount offered. First and last visit to this location. Have gone to other Panera locations and much better service.

This is new in town. Matter of fact, we had to double check the location. It's behind another building, so it's not visible from 410. We used Chipotle as our marker. Easy in and easy out. This is a smaller restaurant than others, but it's a great addition to the neighborhood. It may be closer that the one at the Outlet Collection. The only concern was the background music. If it would be a bit lower. I don't need or care to hear the words clearly as if I'm at a concert. They could turn it off and I'd be happy. Plenty of outlets if you want to spend some time here and need to charge a phone or computer. I'll move the rating to 5-stars if the sound level is lower. My attendance with never make a restaurant a success, so I'll add you to our regular places for the summer.
