Panera Bread

Stopped here for lunch, very pleased with the food and service. Clean restrooms and plenty of parking. Lots of food choices.

I’ve been in Charlottesville for a little over five years. At first, this location was quite average, But now it’s outstanding! I now come here every weekend to get two bagels and a fountain drink to go and I love it. The bagels are fresh, the fountain dispensers are actually ready to go, and the staff always give service with a smile. Shoutout to Eva for the excellent customer service experience! A note: I’d still go inside and get your order, as it tends to be faster.

My Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack sandwich was good, but it didn't look as great as it did on TV. I was expecting more flavor, but the Green Goddess dressing was good. I probably would have asked for some extra, though. I'm thinking I should have put some Himalayan pink salt and pepper on the sandwich when I got home. They say they put salt and pepper on the sandwich, but it didn'tlook like it or taste like it to me. Also, I think a better cheese choice on the sandwich would be a slice of Asiago cheese (instead of fresh mozzarella, which doesn't have much flavor). I'm thinking they should match the sliced cheese with what is used for the bagel! I didn't taste any garlic aioli drizzle (I LOVE garlic aioli at Wawa - can surely taste it on my food; and I'm definitely not being paid to endors

Not sure who it is working at this exact moment but service was horrible. We went through drive thru and had questions. The lady was rude and kept saying yeah and trying to rush us. We get to the window no greeting. Just asked us if we ordered grilled cheese. We said no. Told her what we ordered slammed window and walked away. So we drove off. We will not eat at a place like this

Ordered through the drive-thru at Panera Bread and was handed my food with zero silverware. No fork, no spoon, nothing. When you’re ordering soups, salads, or bowls, silverware isn’t exactly optional—it’s basic common sense. By the time I realized, I was already back on the road. So unless Panera expects customers to eat soup with their hands or pull over and improvise, this is just careless. If I wanted to play “hunt for utensils,” I wouldn’t have used the drive-thru. For how expensive Panera is, the experience should be effortless—not inconvenient. Simple details matter, and this one was completely overlooked. Very disappointing.
