Panera Bread

This restaurant is considered a fast-casual spot, but in reality, it is one of the best in its category. The atmosphere is very comfortable, the front service is welcoming, and the menu offers a wide and varied selection. Their soups are consistently high in quality and always have the same delicious taste. I highly recommend visiting, but a quick note: if you’re not very hungry, I wouldn’t suggest ordering the soup in a bread bowl, as some of it may go to waste. However, if you are hungry, I highly recommend it. As for the chips, I don’t know what the secret is, but they are incredibly tasty— with the soup or even on their own.

Placed an order on line and the person in the drive was polite and upbeat. Only interaction we had. The food itself was not good. There was no flavor , my croissant was both burnt and doughy? My husband got the steak and wake and was not pleased, he said it was just bland. The papaya tea was tasty but the caramel latte was just average

My visit to the Panera Bread at 2476 Sycamore Road in DeKalb was excellent! I came in on November 28th for dinner and the whole experience was great from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup — both were absolutely delicious! The sandwich had amazing flavor with perfectly toasted bread, and the soup was warm, creamy, and comforting, just the way I love it. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made sure my order came out quickly. I truly felt like a valued guest. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience and will definitely be returning soon. Great job to the entire team! 😊

Trying to share the amazing Panera experience with a friend (long-distance) who hadn't had it before. Unfortunately, apparently delivery customers get crap service at this location. There's a BIG difference between 'sandwich got compressed down during delivery' and 'we completely cheaped out on toppings.' I've had Panera dozens of times at numerous locations. This sandwich is NOT up to Panera standards. Not even close. It is absolutely unacceptable. Paid $15 for asiago with scraps of chicken. Seeing the pictures of similar sandwiches in other reviews (which look AMAZING) makes me absolutely FURIOUS. (To a lesser extent, but adding insult to injury, $8 for a 12oz smoothie. Says on corporate site it's 16oz. I was a barista for 5 years, I know a 12oz cup and a 16oz cup when I see one. No w

I definitely enjoyed the sandwich. It had a not to over the top spicy kick back from it. The vanilla bean coffee wasn't too bad. It has been eight years since I drank coffee, but I wanted to give the vanilla bean a try.
