The sandwiches and salads here are better than at other chain restaurants and they actually have a pleasant place to sit inside. Good experience.

I know it's a chain, but the food is of better quality than most others. I am always happy with a salad or small sandwich here and I feel healthy afterword.

This is a good place for well-made sandwiches and salads. The food is well-prepared and the recipes have some attention paid to them. Good for fast food.

Reliable Panera menu and food - recently they've gotten much better about getting the customized order correct. Pickup makes it convenient

I am always have a pleasant culinary experience at Panera. I am totally obsessed with their broccoli cheddar soup. I am not a huge salad fanatic but for sure I can always count on enjoying a salad here. I try new ones and no disappointments yet. It’s a good bellyful for reasonable prices. Plus there is a wide variety of options, enough to enjoy something new with each visit. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. There is also free wifi which is always a plus. And most times, there is service with a smile :)

This was a busy Panera, probably due in a large part to its location. There's not much seating available on the first floor, where you order, but there's much more seating available upstairs. The staircase isn't terribly wide, which can make it a bit awkward when people are going up and down at the same time. And it's a bit awkward having to run back and forth up and down the stairs to pick up your order and to get coffee, etc. The upstairs dining area was less clean than the dining area of other Paneras that I've been to. It appeared that staff members were assembling catering orders in the upstairs dining area, which took up some of the available seating.

Went there before going to JFK. It was quick and simple but serving an espresso in a huge paper cup is weird...

I went for dinner at 6pm. I ordered a salad and they said they were out of lettuce (I could only get a salad with spinach). So I changed my order to a Chicken Fontego Sandwich only to be told they were out of bread. WHAT? Panera Bread is out of bread at dinner time?! I could understand if it was close to closing time but this was just frustrating to be right at dinner time. I ended up leaving. I went back the next morning for breakfast. The service was very slow and the staff are not friendly at all. Very disported with this Panera.

Panera’s is one of my favorite chains. This one was laid out so oddly, that it was difficult to navigate in the morning due to the placement of the line in front of the coffee machines. I stopped in twice during a recent trip and each morning they were out of something I wanted too.

Panera is a chain that serves up fast and good-tasting, relatively healthy fare: mostly sandwiches, soups, salads and baked goods.
i was here for lunch, arriving at around 2:00 pm. I usually have the "Pick 2" at Panera, but here I had a Chicken Tortellina Alfredo instead. The pasta dish was good, but I think their sandwiches and salads are better.
This Panera was a bit messier than other Panera's I have been to, but it may have been because it was the end of the lunch period. One issue is that most of the seating is upstairs and so you can't tell if there are open seats when you order on the 1st floor. I was able to find a seat but that may be different during the peak weekday lunch period.

A lot of seating on the second floor, the place relatively clean. It can get busy during breakfast and lunch hours because of all the offices around, the coffee counter is at an odd location and the coffee was cold the lat time I have there. Thanks staff is not the friendliest, but not rude either. An ok place to chill if you want a break from it all.

We stopped for a quick breakfast of bagel sandwiches and coffee, which was adequate. The door to the restaurant doesn't shut correctly and screeches across the floor something awful, so while we sat at one of the few cramped tables right inside the door, we were hit with a blast of cold air and a screech every time someone came in.
