Panera Bread

Let me tell you, I used to be a 20-year Starbucks drinker. I worshipped the line, the ritual, the name scrawled on the cup. But lately? Walking into a Starbucks feels dead: 90% takeout, minimal people sitting, minimal chatter, that third-place energy gone. Meanwhile, Panera is doing something smart. Really smart. It’s not just food, it’s strategy. Paul Carbone (yes, the CFO now steering Panera Brands) isn’t tinkering around. He’s helping reinvent Panera into what Starbucks used to be: a place you go to stay, to work, to mix with others, to linger over a cup. With over 57% of Panera’s sales now from ecommerce and the Unlimited Sip Club subscription model drawing in folks who used to drop $4–5 per drink elsewhere, Panera has pulled ahead. Let’s talk about that Sip Club: for about $10.99/mo

Last few experiences of delivery was horrible. Tonight I received my Chicken salad without a chicken in it. Yesterday my order was just cancelled and i stayed hungry for dinner. Oh and yeah a couple times before either spoon or croutons were missing for the soup . THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!!! I never experienced service like that at other locations . Love the food but horrible and neglectful service last couple times IN A ROW is a big disappointment.

If I can give this place, no stars I would, but unfortunately, you have to put something here in order to write a review. I purchased something from this store on October 30 and everything wasn’t cooked. It seemed as if it was warmed up in the microwave. My soup was congealed as a solid as if it was just oil.. I contacted them regarding this they gave me rewards. I ordered it again on the 31st. I was violently ill Stomach bug in the hospital couldn’t keep anything down. I contacted them again and they refused to give my money… because credits but the food made me sick. Anyways I beg you guys do not eat from this location they are aware of the situation and isn’t taking the matter seriously about my illness .

The staff is really nice. However, this goes to the Panera corporation; you call yourselves Panera Bread, emphasis on "bread"! However, Panera Bread offers only white flour, refined bread! Panera Bread can't offer a multigrain bread??? , They used to have a whole grain baguette which was delicious and healthy. You don't need a nutrition degree (though I do retain a master's degree in nutrition) to know that the "bread" offered wrecks havoc on the microbiome of the intestines, needless to say not good for blood sugar levels! Seriously, am I the only one out there that recognizes this? Sincerely, O Michael Petillo, MS, CDN Certified Dietitian Nutritionist Department of Public Health State of Connecticut, Licensed

We ordered 2 baguettes and they were terrible. Corn chowder soup was good, but the Smokey Buffalo Chicken baguette had very little chicken. There was barely enough for 1/4 of the sandwich. I usually like Pampers Bread but this was a bad experience.
